Humans modify the Earth’s surface through agriculture, forest management, urbanization, and industrial activities. This land-use change alters the emissions of different chemical compounds from the surface to the atmosphere, thus being an important driver for change in atmospheric composition. The composition of the atmospheric air, on the other hand, is critical for both human health as well as the Earth’s radiative balance and climate. The proposed project aims at filling critical gaps in the scientific knowledge required for quantifying the impacts of land-use on concentrations of atmospheric particulate matter – which is a key component in determining air quality and as well as the energy budget of the Earth. Specifically, we will focus on studying the processes through which emissions of organic and nitrogen-containing compounds from forests and agricultural land-use influence the concentrations of ultrafine (<100 nm) aerosol particles. To achieve this, we will combine high-precision laboratory experiments conducted in the CLOUD facility at CERN with the development and application of state-of-the-art air quality and climate models based on the experimental data. This approach guarantees the interaction between the forefront basic research and the development of modeling tools that are directly applicable for policy support. The results of the project will provide input for designing land-use policies for optimal air quality, climate, societal and economic impacts.

Two stones are still standing. The third one on the North side has fallen backwards in a South to North direction. It is a similar pattern to what we see in Slanchevo.
Each stone is around 5m high and up to 1.8m wide at the base and estimated to weigh around 25 tons.
If we listen to these stones carefully we realise that they form a pyramid. They are laid out on a cross that is aligned to the cardinal points.
The central stone stands slightly taller.
It acts as a pyramidion. The pointed cap of a pyramid. It is the top level.
The 3 standing stones constitute the second level. They fit into a cube ensconced into the triangular shape of the pyramid.
The base forms a cross aligned to the cardinal points. It is the third level.
The North and South branches of the cross are longer. They measure around 5m whilst the East and West branches are only 3m long.
Overall this pyramidal formation has 5 levels.
The standing stones and their base together form the first, second and third levels.
They form a cross that is contained in a 4th level that is 2m lower forming a rectangular base which is itself contained in a 5th level which is wider and lower by 2m.

COMPLETED: Salmon and Chips
Commercial Application of Genomics to Maximize Genetic Improvement of Farmed Atlantic Salmon on the East Coast of Canada
Commercial aquaculture companies in Atlantic Canada are restricted to the use of one strain of North American Atlantic salmon. However, salmon farmers on Canada’s West Coast and around the world have access to multiple strains of European Atlantic salmon. In addition, many aquaculture companies are now incorporating genomics technology into their breeding programs to select for traits that are difficult to improve with conventional methods. Both of these factors place East Coast aquaculture companies at a competitive disadvantage in their ability to develop North American stock that have desirable traits for improved growth, flesh quality and resistance to disease and parasites.
Based on this challenge, Kelly Cove Salmon is partnering with Dr. Elizabeth Boulding and her academic group from the University of Guelph to incorporate genomics technology into the company’s breeding program and to develop a new medium density chip for North American subspecies of Atlantic Salmon.
Advanced genomics technology known as SNP-chips is already being used by international competitors. When blended with conventional animal breeding techniques, this technology has created a significant increase in survival of salmon at the egg and juvenile stages and has led to better saltwater performance and to a lower cost of production.
This project with Dr. Boulding will help Kelly Cove Salmon achieve these same benefits. A previous collaboration between Kelly Cove Salmon and Dr. Boulding resulted in the discovery of molecular markers associated with saltwater growth and resistance to the salmon louse. By developing a medium density chip for North American subspecies and by identifying molecular markers for flesh quality and resistance to disease and parasites, Dr. Boulding and her team will be able to help Kelly Cove Salmon’s breeding program select for traits that will enhance saltwater performance and lower cost of production. This will, in turn, make the company more globally competitive.
This project will protect and create new jobs by strengthening Kelly Cove Salmon and its parent company, Cooke Aquaculture Inc., which already employs 1,700 people in rural and coastal Atlantic Canada.


Elementary educationCollectively, German day care is referred to as Kita. Kitas are split into nursery for children aged under three years, and kindergarten for ages three to six. It is not obligatory for children in Germany to attend, but the option is popular with many families. While day care is a solution for parents to be able to go back to work after the birth of a child and have their offspring safely supervised, it is also the place where children, sometimes starting from a very young age, are first exposed to regular contact with peers. Kita costs differ in Germany depending on the federal state.
German schoolsPrimary school, or Grundschule in German, includes grades one to four, typically ages six to nine. Unlike Kitas, primary school attendance is mandatory for children. At this level, they learn to read, write and count in German. English is also included in the curriculum. Parents are notified one year before the child is to begin primary school, and while the schools suggested are usually those in the vicinity of the home, it is also possible to pick one independently.
The secondary school level includes several types of schools, depending on student goals, abilities and federal state education laws. The secondary general school, or Hauptschule, usually encompasses grades five to nine. However, many German states have eliminated this label and combined it with the other secondary school type, Realschule, from grades 5 to 10, to form the Gesamtschule, or comprehensive secondary school. These schools aim at a general education with practical courses, which qualify successful graduates for starting an apprenticeship or vocational training.
Primary school may also be followed by a transfer to an academic secondary school, or Gymnasium. This includes grades 5 to 12 or 5 to 13, depending on the state and school, but requires higher grades for acceptance. The emphasis is on academic learning and achievement, as a Gymnasium graduation certificate allows application for a university degree course.


For today’s ‘Wednesday book quote’ we revisit Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. This section examines further the mindset and personality of Lord Henry whose brash and provocative monologue Youth is the one thing worth having was discussed previously. Lord Henry is such a unique individual because he’ll take any conversation immediately out of its comfort zone. ‘Small talk’ isn’t exactly his cup of tea; he prefers to poke and probe, push the boundaries with whom he’s talking to. His pleasure is in the art of impressing, influencing, and even misleading his acquaintances.
According to wikipedia Lippincott’s monthly magazine first published The Picture of Dorian Gray complete in July 1890, but fearing the story was indecent they deleted 500 words without Wilde’s knowledge. Despite that censorship, The Picture of Dorian Gray offended the moral sensibilities of British book reviewers, some of whom said that Oscar Wilde merited prosecution for violating the laws guarding public morality.
Picture is the only novel written by Wilde. He said that the three principle characters were reflections of himself. There is probably no better example of this interplay than in the following section which begins the book and there are few passages I have found more richly compelling and amusing than this one. To set the scene, the decadent dandy Lord Henry is observing the sensitive artist Basil Hallward painting the portrait of Dorian Gray. While sitting for the painting, Dorian listens to Lord Henry espousing his hedonistic world view. The conversation below is with the ‘deeply moral’ artist Basil:
I’m glad you found it so Sharon.


Analysis of Variance and Covariance
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is used to determine whether there is a difference between three or more categorical sets of values e.g. three species, four types of drug, 7 days of the week. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) on the other hand, while also used to determine whether there is a difference between categorical sets of values (two or more in this case) also takes into account the effect of one or more numerical variables called covariates e.g. three species as categorical variables taking into account the effect of differences in body mass as a numerical covariate.
statistiXL provides a very comprehensive module for the analysis of variance and covariance. Both univariate and multivariate ANOVA and ANCOVA are supported. Factors can be specified as fixed or random and the nesting of factors is also supported. Simplified dialog boxes aid the rapid analysis of full factorial and repeated measures models, while for more advanced analyses a comprehensive dialog box is available that allows custom models to be specified precisely detailing the factors and interactions to be included in the analysis. Post Hoc Tests are provided so that you can drill down into your dataset and see what, if any, the major differences between groups are. Tukey, Student-Newman-Keul and Scheffe test are included so you are not constrained to a single type of analysis.
Results from the ANOVA moduleResults are presented in tabulated form, starting optionally with a table of simple descriptive statistics for each group (e.g. mean, standard error, count etc). The overall test for the model is presented next, followed by individual tests for each effect included in the model. Finally, if post hoc analyses were chosen to be performed, a table of all pairwise group comparisons is presented for each factor and for each test type chosen.
The help file included with statistiXL provides and introduction to Analysis of Variance and a comprehensive range of 17 examples detailing how to use statistiXL to analyse different design models of ANOVA and ANCOVA including Single and Multivariate, Full Factorial and User Defined, Fixed and Random Factors, Nested, Latin Square, Randomised Block, Split Plot and Repeated Measures.


provide care and treatment to sick, injured and orphaned wild animals, offer hands-on training to veterinary students, and educate members of our community about coexisting with native Illinois wildlife.
What We Do
Twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week, the Wildlife Medical Clinic (WMC) accepts ill, injured, or orphaned native wild animals, with the exception of skunks and bats.
The primary goal in the treatment of these patients is to assist in their recovery for release back into the wild. Wild animals must be in peak condition for release in order to find food, avoid predation, and successfully interact with other members of their species. Unfortunately, many of the animals the clinic receives are too debilitated to recover and be released. A defect in vision, flight ability or species recognition can easily lead to the animal’s demise or exclusion from its society. For these animals who cannot be returned to their wild home, the WMC offers humane euthanasia.
In special circumstances, the WMC will place permanently debilitated patients in collections at zoos, nature centers, or wildlife facilities where they will be used as ambassadors for their species in education campaigns.
The WMC is a non-profit organization that depends solely on fund-raising, donations, and grants for its operating budget. The College of Veterinary Medicine donates the clinic space and utilities, but all other costs are the responsibility of the WMC. Donations cover the cost of food, diagnostic tests, equipment, medications, consultations, and surgeries for our patients. Volunteers provide the majority of animal care, and veterinary students do most of the care in their first three years of the curriculum. The WMC has approximately ninety volunteers responsible for receiving and examining patients and providing daily care to current ones.
If you would like to support the WMC’s mission of conservation, public education, and veterinary teaching, please donate to the WMC!


Citrus trees like a pH of about 6.5 as this is where all the nutrients required for their everyday life are all available.
Citrus can typically tolerate anywhere from 6-7.5 pH. Outside of this range, certain minerals become “locked up” or unavailable due to their chemical properties. This
means that if the pH is too high or too low, no matter how much fertilizer you throw at your plant, those specific nutrients cannot be used!
Illustration by Yara.us; Citrus Agronomic Principles.
As a citrus tree approaches a higher pH, the availability of iron, copper, zinc, and manganese becomes very slim. The black line on the graph represents the optimal 6.5 pH where all the necessary nutrients are perfectly accessible to the plant.
If you fertilize according to the instructions and are still seeing nutrient deficiencies, check the pH of the water you’re using!
Are you worried the pH of your water might be outside the range your citrus tree prefers?
Our first recommendation is to head to your local garden store and pick up a pH pen (they are relatively low-priced). Calibrate it according to instructions and test your water.
If the pH is too high (the most likely scenario), you can add a little bit of vinegar or lemon juice to your water before you water your citrus tree.
If your pH is too low (fairly unlikely, especially in Wisconsin), you can usually find a "pH up" solution in the aquarium section of your local pet store.
Remember to add pH adjustments in increments. It doesn't take very much additive to make a huge difference in pH!
If you don't want to worry about the pH of your tap water, there are other solutions as well.
- Rainwater has the perfect pH for citrus trees (plus lots of essential nutrients!). While your tree is outside, it will love that natural water. If you're able to collect rainwater (or snow) during the winter time, your tree will thank you.
- Deionized water typically works well as it lacks minerals that influence pH.

Types of training
There are different types of training programme on the basis of the need of the employees. These are:
i) Induction training: as we have done in the topic of induction that it is the process of giving the new entrant information about the rules, regulations, policies and procedures of the organization. This type of training is given to help him to learn about the work environment. It is nothing but the introduction of the organization to the newly employed person. It is short and informative training given just after recruitment.
ii) Job training: it means giving the training to the workers relating to a particular job which he has to do. It is the most common training which is given to the new employee to teach them the job they are expected to perform.
iii) Apprenticeship training: in this type of training the trainees learn the skill at the same time they earn money also so it is earned when you learn. The government of various countries has passed the rules to get apprenticeship training compulsory which is the combination of job training and class room instruction.
iv) Refresher training: it is training for the old employees to help them to learn the latest methods of doing the job. as the existing skills become obsolete with the time and due to technological change so they to keep them up to date with the new skills.
v) Training for promotion: the purpose of the training for promotion is to keep the employees fit for the higher job responsibility. This kind of training act as a motivating force for the employees.
I hope you got the idea of types of training.


Alternate Names : Subdural hemorrhage – chronic, Subdural hematoma – chronic, Subdural hygroma
A chronic subdural hematoma is an “old” collection of blood and blood breakdown products between the surface of the brain and its outermost covering (the dura). The chronic phase of a subdural hematoma begins several weeks after the first bleeding.
Overview, Causes, & Risk Factors
A subdural hematoma develops when the tiny veins that run between the dura and surface of the brain (bridging veins) tear and leak blood. This is usually the result of a head injury.
A collection of blood then forms over the surface of the brain. In a chronic subdural collection, blood leaks from the veins slowly over time, or a fast hemorrhage is left to clear up on its own.
A subdural hematoma is more common in the elderly because of normal brain shrinkage that occurs with aging. This shrinkage stretches and weakens the bridging veins. These veins are more likely to break in the elderly, even after a minor head injury. Rarely, a subdural hematoma can occur without known cause (i.e., not from an accident or injury).
- Chronic heavy alcohol use
- Chronic use of aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen or blood thinning (anti-coagulant) medication
- Diseases associated with blood clotting problems
- Head injury
- Old age

Potassium is at the heart of good health. In fact, it enables your very heart to beat! More than 100,000 times a day, potassium helps trigger your “ticker” to pump blood through your body. It also keeps your brain, nerves, heart and muscles working normally.
Getting enough potassium in your diet can help lower blood pressure, keep your arteries healthy, get rid of excess sodium, reduce the risk of kidney stones and guard against bone loss. Studies suggest boosting your potassium intake and curbing sodium can even slash the risk of stroke by 21% and may also lower the odds of developing heart disease.
This is definitely a nutrient no one should run short on. Unfortunately, most of us are.
Experts say the typical healthy adult needs 4,700 milligrams of dietary potassium a day. But a recent study in the U.S. shows men average 3,200 milligrams of potassium a day, while women average only 2,400 milligrams.
Easy ways to get potassium
The easiest way to get the recommended amount is to add high-potassium fruits and vegetables to your diet. Bananas are famous for being a good source of potassium, but Creamer potatoes actually have them beat. By more than double! In fact, Creamer potatoes are one of the best sources of potassium in the entire vegetable world. Just take a look at this comparison of high-potassium foods:
|FOOD||DAILY RECOMMENDED VALUE OF POTASSIUM|
Potassium is part of every cell in the body and life would be impossible without it. Potassium-rich Creamer potatoes can help pave the way for healthier meals, all while enjoying their creamy flavor and easy convenience.

How long will you want to hear a person, who is sitting casually in his chair; looking at the window, wall or floor; and without any sort of expression on his face or movement of body parts? You will certainly lose track of his words in hardly a few minutes. Your body language during a PowerPoint or Keynote presentation, plays a decisive role in how long will you be able to keep the audience bound to your words.
Here is a critical overview of the importance of body language in a presentation:
Maintaining Eye Contact
To make your listeners feel that you are addressing them, with a personal appeal, you need to make eye contact with them. Although most presenters know and follow this technique but many break away from it, with the progress of the presentation; which leads to wavering of attention amongst your audience.
Movement Of Hands And Arms
Your gestures especially through hands and arms are a vital source of non-verbal communication; hence they need to be used carefully. With your arms dangling by your side, your presentation will look more mechanical. A harmony between your words and movement of hands helps the audience understand your emotions and concept in a better way.
Walk While You Talk
Although some people prefer to stand at the same spot while giving a presentation; there are many who change their postures as well as position as the presentation proceeds. Walking or standing while you are talking depends on how comfortable you are in doing this. Moreover, in certain cases the listeners find it a distraction too. Hence, this judgment should be taken based on the type of audience you will be presenting to.
Expressions On The Face
A straight face will give the impression of a robot while overdoing it might make you look like an exaggerator. Using your expressions is a crucial technique and it takes some time to master. So, the way you are meant to smile; narrow down or widen your eyes; even the twitch of your eyebrows should be exercised with care.
The various gestures by important personalities have been a part of the study for body languages. There are several instances where the manners of handshakes; and putting hands over the shoulders have been interpreted differently, based on the ways they were conducted.
Although your listeners might not be experts in this regard; but when you convey your message to them, it is important to work on all the details.


NEI Hosts ‘Curious’ Scribes
Young Science Writers Enjoy NIH Visit
It’s possible that some of America’s future health leaders briefly appeared on campus this summer. The students were taking part in a program called Curious Science Writers, which offers high schoolers interested in science writing and research a chance to gain firsthand experience.
The course was originally established by the New Jersey Association for Biomedical Research and was operated for several years by States United for Biomedical Research. It’s currently being presented by the biomedical research advocacy group Americans for Medical Progress.
This year’s program kicked off with a week-long science writing boot camp, featuring activities, writing exercises, guest lectures and lots of advice for translating complex science concepts so they can be understood and appreciated by the public. One of the highlights of the camp was a visit to the NIH campus, giving students an up-close view of how science works.
The visit was hosted by the National Eye Institute and featured several lectures by NEI scientists investigating various diseases of the eye and also the brain’s role in interpreting visual data. Dr. Robert Weichbrod, chief of animal program administration at NEI, took the students on a tour of campus. Stops included the Clinical Center, the Animal Tribute and Reflection Garden and NEI’s animal care facilities.
Now that camp is over, student participants are putting what they learned into practice. With the help of science writing mentors, including NIH communications staff, the students are in the process of writing articles that will highlight several current, cutting-edge health investigations. Once completed, the stories will be published on the Curious Science Writers website (https://curioussciencewriters.org/), along with articles written by previous program participants.
Any NIH’ers with students who might be interested in taking part in next summer’s program are invited to visit the CSW website for more information. In addition, Curious Science Writers is always looking for volunteers to help mentor future science writers and scientists. Visit https://www.amprogress.org/about/contact-us/ to learn more.


A small, elusive short-eared dog endemic to secluded parts of the Amazon river basin has long mystified scientists. Just loosely related to pet dogs, Atelocynus microtis, known as the short-eared dog or zorro, remains to this day one of the “most understudied wild dogs” in the world. Now, new research published in the journal Royal Society Open Science suggests that the native short-eared dog may be at risk from deforestation
Most of what is currently known about the solitary dogs is based on anecdotal or opportunistic evidence largely due to their notoriously shy nature, a challenge for conservation efforts looking to protect the canines from expanding human encroachment.
To illuminate the habitat and behavior of the Amazonian wild dogs, researchers set camera traps across a wide swath of the animal’s territory to determine where and when they frequented. Terrain maps created from this information, as well as hundreds of observations that collected from a short-eared dog database, were cross-referenced with areas designated for future deforestation plans.
The dogs were shown to prefer lush, untouched forests and were largely distributed across an “extensive and continuous area” through most of the Amazon region south of the Amazon River. About 30 percent of their current distribution is projected to suffer sharp declines in habitat by 2027 from forest lost. It's already estimated that about one-quarter of the Amazon’s mammal species are predicted to lose considerable amounts of their habitats.
In short, the land available to the dogs is shrinking, putting the animals at a greater risk from deforestation that previously thought.
“The persistent high deforestation rate and fragmentation of the Amazon forests are the main threats to their biodiversity,” write the study authors. “To anticipate and mitigate these threats, it is important to understand and predict how species respond to the rapidly changing landscape.
Currently, the animals’ decreasing population trend means it is considered “near threatened” by the IUCN Red List of Species, though the last population assessment was nearly a decade ago. Researchers suggest experts should reconsider the dogs’ conservation status and reclassify the animals as vulnerable.
“Beyond shedding light on the ecology of the short-eared dog and refining its distribution range, our results stress that forest loss poses a serious threat to the conservation of the species in a short time frame,” the study authors conclude.


On the origin of multidecadal to centennial Greenland temperature anomalies over the past 800 yr
Abstract. The surface temperature of the Greenland ice sheet is among the most important climate variables for assessing how climate change may impact human societies due to its association with sea level rise. However, the causes of multidecadal-to-centennial temperature changes in Greenland temperatures are not well understood, largely owing to short observational records. To examine these, we calculated the Greenland temperature anomalies (GTA[G-NH]) over the past 800 yr by subtracting the standardized northern hemispheric (NH) temperature from the standardized Greenland temperature. This decomposes the Greenland temperature variation into background climate (NH); polar amplification; and regional variability (GTA[G-NH]). The central Greenland polar amplification factor as expressed by the variance ratio Greenland/NH is 2.6 over the past 161 yr, and 3.3–4.2 over the past 800 yr. The GTA[G-NH] explains 31–35% of the variation of Greenland temperature in the multidecadal-to-centennial time scale over the past 800 yr. We found that the GTA[G-NH] has been influenced by solar-induced changes in atmospheric circulation patterns such as those produced by the North Atlantic Oscillation/Arctic Oscillation (NAO/AO). Climate modeling and proxy temperature records indicate that the anomaly is also likely linked to solar-paced changes in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) and associated changes in northward oceanic heat transport.


The book “Les règles du dessin et du lavis” consists of 214 pages of plain text and additional 24 pages of illustrations. These illustrations are numbered from one to twenty four and basically placed as reference images in order to support the text. On the upper left side of each image, the section is written, in which the illustration is referenced, and the numbers of the illustrations are placed on the upper right side of the image. Some of the illustrations are placed in the book as fold-out spreads and some of them are subdivided into smaller parts, which are called as “Figures”
First three illustrations belong to the first part and depict the right equipment ( brushes, pens, desk, etc. ), which are needed to draw architectural illustrations. The next ten illustrations are referenced in the second part, ranging from section, elevation and ground plan drawings to different types of scales with the imperial unit “foot”. The last 11 illustrations are to support the third part of the book and they are essentially guidelines to draw maps and there are also some technical drawings of the gadgets to find the right size for the map.
As a result of small page size, no columns were needed for organising the written part. Headings are written bigger, and the first letter of the first word of each section is also distinctively bigger than the normal text. A relatively big margin is placed on each page, which is approximately a fourth of the whole pages’ width
Comparing 214 pages of text with 24 pages of illustrations, the text may occur to be more dominant than the illustrated part, and the images may just be seen as references for a better understanding. However, the importance of these illustrations should not be underestimated, as the book is about techniques of architectural drawings. Without these illustrations, the text would be too vague and much less informative than it is with the drawings. Although the text and the illustrations are placed separately, they should be seen as a descriptive whole.


Agency can only exist within a given context, and the same applies to agents themselves. These concrete environments or abstract situations can take many different forms, that are introduced here.
With the 'target list' of natural and artificial agents in mind, and focusing on their common characteristics, I can now propose a working definition of agency. At its core, agency is the ability to act. And that action has certain qualities: it serves some purpose, it has a direction towards some utility. Today, I'll offer a short defining phrase and then unpack its meaning piece by piece.
Comparing natural and artificial agents
Between the natural and the artificial agents, there are many differences, but few similarities. An inclusive definition of agency needs to cater for all these agents, in all the diversity they exhibited in the preceding posts. At this stage it is useful to review the major differences, at least conceptually, because any definition of agency will be inclusive if —and only if— it remains agnostic of those differences across the diversity of agents.
The path(s) to artificial agency
Across the categories of organizations, technologies, and socio-technical systems, we can identify three principle paths to artificial agency. Ultimately, they all originate from human agency; but the degree of human deliberation varies considerably.
Socio-technical systems as artificial agents
This third group of artificial agents sits somewhere between organization and technology, as a blend of both. To understand the agency of socio-technical systems, it is helpful to remember that they belong to the complex adaptive systems. They are open, dynamic, and nonlinear; and they exhibit emergence and resilience.


Alternative court programs have been designed to help people who have addictions and mental health conditions overcome their disadvantages while being held responsible for their actions. Alternative programs are ideal for many situations, because they encourage healing instead of punishment without treatment.
Drug addiction and alcoholism are both significant causes of criminal acts. People are not in their right minds when they’re on mind-altering substances such as these. Did you know that approximately 75 percent of people who began treatment for drug addiction previously committed acts of violence? These acts could include many types of crimes such as physical assault or mugging.
Why are alternative court programs so important?
Alternative court programs are vital to reducing crime rates and rates of recidivism. If someone commits a crime as a result of addiction, the obvious solution is to eliminate the addiction. This encourages the individual to learn better ways to handle their emotions and life situations, which means that they have a lesser chance of turning to crime.
Alternative programs are a cost-savings method as well. The cost of drug or alcohol abuse treatment is around $4,700 per person. However, the cost of incarceration is closer to $24,000. On top of that, those who receive treatment can often return to society and begin to give back through labor and other actions. This is much more beneficial than locking someone up in fear of them committing another crime.
What’s so bad about incarceration?
Besides the fact that it is more costly, incarceration does not help individuals in any way. It prevents them from committing crimes, but it does not address the problem that led to their committing a crime in the first place. Many people who end up in prison have drug addiction or alcohol addiction problems. When they leave prison without treatment, they’re more likely to return to those actions and to end up in trouble with the law again.
If a person is a first-time offender or has not committed a serious, violent crime, then an alternative drug program is a great idea. By helping them get the mental health support they need along with the treatment needed to eliminate an addiction, they’re more likely to have the tools needed to return to a successful life in the future without the risk of committing another crime. This is clearly preferred over locking someone up and never addressing the potential for a secondary criminal act.


Accountability and Access to Justice
Access to justice and accountability for abuses are fundamental to protecting human rights and ensuring sustainable peace. When governments claim that we can only have national security if we give up human rights, they ignore decades of evidence that long-term peace is only possible when justice is upheld and rights are respected. The protection of human rights and the rule of law should be hardwired into national security approaches, both nationally and globally.
Without access to justice for everyone, we cannot ensure that the law is fairly, effectively and transparently applied. Even if this basic human right exists in theory, it is not always enforced. Access to justice should be non-discriminatory, and easily attainable without undue financial, emotional or physical burdens, in line with respect for human dignity.
Rights & Security International promotes accountability for killings and other serious harms committed in the name of counterterrorism, and opposes 'security' laws that harm vulnerable people and marginalised groups. We work to increase the ability of judges, lawmakers and the public to monitor security policies and keep them in line with human rights. We also promote an inclusive vision of security -- one in which everyone's security matters, and governments honour equality and dignity.
Examples of RSI’s recent work on accountability and access to justice
· Since our founding, we have promoted transparency and justice in Northern Ireland, including full investigations of killings committed during the height of the Troubles. Today, we continue our advocacy for fair, complete investigations and against impunity. We educate the public and lawmakers about the human rights requirement for effective investigations of killings, and work with our partners to prevent legislation that would end important justice processes.
· We submitted a legal analysis to the UK Parliament’s Joint Committee on Human Rights (JCHR) explaining why the government should not be allowed to stop following the Human Rights Act overseas. The JCHR agreed with us and quoted our recommendation.
· We have fought to stop the UK and other countries from dodging accountability for abuses committed during military actions overseas, including by advocating against harmful UK legislation and intervening in a European Court of Human Rights case against Germany.

Alternative fuels have been around nearly as long as the automobile itself, and steam cars were part of the mix when the automobile was in its infancy. Eventually, however, the gasoline internal combustion engine became the de facto source of power. It wasn't until the mid-1900s that the side effects of pollution caused by burning carbon-based fuels began to really show their face.
In the 1960s, smog became an enormous issue facing the United States, especially in California, and by the end of the decade, the U.S. government approached automakers to begin concocting their own solutions to curb emissions and pollution levels. What you see here is one solution that General Motors considered.
It's a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle, called the SE-124, but there's no V-8 or even V-6 engine under the hood. Nope, it's powered by steam. So the story goes, Bill Bessler—a man who spent many hours working with steam engines—was tapped by GM to create a steam-powered car. Bessler also owned the remnants of steam engine company Doble, so he knew a thing or two about the propulsion method.
CHECK OUT: Jay Leno hits the beat in a 1978 Chevy Nova cop car
Bessler got to work. The original V-8 engine was sawed in half and left attached to the bell housing while the block was replumbed to handle steam. The right side of the Vee became home to a high-pressure cylinder, and the steam was then sent to the left side, which housed a low-pressure cylinder. Finally, the steam was exhausted through a condenser before the process started all over again.
When all was said and done, the Chevelle was capable of returning 15 mpg. That's not a terrible number for the time period and the engine obviously produced far fewer emissions than gasoline-powered cars.
But, GM gave the car back to Bessler after all his work was reviewed. Following Bessler's tenure with the car, the 1969 Chevelle made its way to the Harrah's collection, and it now sits in Tom Kimmel's private collection. It currently doesn't run, but the engine does turn over. With electric vehicles going full-steam ahead (see what we did there?), this steam-powered car from the late 1960s will likely remain an experimental, yet intriguing, footnote of automotive history.


As online learning becomes more and more accessible, so does the possibility of a more isolated educational experience. Building community, especially in theological education, is essential to student learning.
It is important that the online environment be just as welcoming, hospitable, and supportive for online students as it is in the in-person classroom. A well-designed Canvas course can not only provide students with the tools and resources necessary to succeed academically, but it can also foster a sense of community and connection in the online classroom.
Here are some tips for making your Canvas course an inviting and hospitable space for your students:
- Personalize the homepage: Personalizing the look and feel of your Canvas course can help create a more welcoming space for students. Consider adding a header image, your learning goals for the course, and a way to contact you should students need any assistance. The homepage is also a great and accessible location for your syllabus file!
- Encourage Interaction: Encouraging interactions among students is key to building community through Canvas. Consider using a discussion board as a way for students to introduce themselves before the class begins or to share what they are most excited to learn about after seeing the syllabus.
- Make content accessible: Providing clear and concise explanations of course materials and expectations is key. Try using videos, images, and other multimedia content in addition to text to make the content more engaging and accessible.
- Use a consistent and organized layout: Consistency and organization can help create a sense of familiarity and comfort in the online space. Consider using a standardized template for your course content and ensuring that the navigation is intuitive and easy to use. For example, use the same format in every module so that students know what to expect and where to find necessary information about the next class.
By following these tips, you can help to create an online learning environment that is inviting and welcoming to all students. With an intentional and well-designed Canvas course, students will be able to: (1) focus more on their studies and less on finding course content and information; (2) communicate with each other both in and outside of the live class session; and (3) feel prepared to succeed in your course because the information is readily available and accessible.
Contact the Office of Digital Learning at CandlerDigitalLearning [at] emory [dot] edu for more information on how to set up your Canvas site as an inviting and hospitable place for student learning.


What does transgender mean?
Transgender people are people whose gender identity is different from the gender they were thought to be at birth. “Trans” is often used as shorthand for transgender.
When we’re born, a doctor usually says that we’re male or female based on what our bodies look like. Most people who were labeled male at birth turn out to actually identify as men, and most people who were labeled female at birth grow up to be women. But some people’s gender identity – their innate knowledge of who they are – is different from what was initially expected when they were born. Most of these people describe themselves as transgender.
A transgender woman lives as a woman today, but was thought to be male when she was born. A transgender man lives as a man today, but was thought to be female when he was born. Some transgender people identify as neither male nor female, or as a combination of male and female. There are a variety of terms that people who aren’t entirely male or entirely female use to describe their gender identity, like non-binary or genderqueer.
What does intersex mean?
Download the pamphlet (PDF, 132KB)
A variety of conditions that lead to atypical development of physical sex characteristics are collectively referred to as intersex conditions. These conditions can involve abnormalities of the external genitals, internal reproductive organs, sex chromosomes or sex-related hormones. Some examples include:
- External genitals that cannot be easily classified as male or female.
- Incomplete or unusual development of the internal reproductive organs.
- Inconsistency between the external genitals and the internal reproductive organs.
- Abnormalities of the sex chromosomes.
- Abnormal development of the testes or ovaries.
- Over- or underproduction of sex-related hormones.
- Inability of the body to respond normally to sex-related hormones.
“Intersex” was originally a medical term that was later embraced by some intersex persons. Many experts and persons with intersex conditions have recently recommended adopting the term “disorders of sex development” (DSD). They feel that this term is more accurate and less stigmatizing than the term intersex.

Fake News, Social Media, Digital Literacy, and Critical Thinking
This week, I took a little break from creating my website and focused on other coursework to which I needed to divert more attention. That being said, we got some exciting topics to talk about in our posiel readings this week that I wanted to touch on.
These things have been at the heart of discussion since the presidential election of Barack Obama and the infamous Donald Trump. In today’s world, the spread of fake news through social media has become increasingly concerning. As a society, we must prioritize digital literacy and critical thinking skills to combat dissemination of false information.
James Bridle’s article “Something Wrong on the Internet” highlights how easily fake news can spread on social media platforms. He discusses the dangers of unmoderated content, which often leads to the proliferation of radical and harmful ideas. Acknowledging that the internet is not a neutral space and social media platforms are not built to prioritize truth or accuracy is crucial. We must develop digital literacy skills to evaluate sources and verify the credibility of information.
Mike Caulfield’s article “Yes, Digital Literacy. But which one?” emphasizes that not all digital literacy is created equal. We must prioritize critical digital literacy, which focuses on the skills necessary to evaluate sources critically and identify fake news. It is crucial to distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources, to understand how information is created and circulated, and to be able to identify bias and misinformation.
The recent case of Peiyue Wu’s article, “She Spent a Decade Writing Fake Russian History. Wikipedia Just Noticed,” highlights the need for increased vigilance and awareness regarding the information we consume. The fact that false information existed for over a decade on one of the world’s largest online encyclopedias is a wake-up call for all of us. We must become active participants in the information ecosystem, using critical thinking skills and digital literacy to evaluate sources and verify the accuracy of information.
We must address the spread of fake news on social media platforms through increased digital literacy and critical thinking skills. We must understand the dangers of unmoderated content, prioritize critical digital literacy, and remain vigilant regarding the information we consume. By doing so, we can combat the dissemination of false information and contribute to a more informed and responsible society.


African Tax Collections Grew By 1.6 Percent Of GDP In 2012
22 May 2014
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has released a new report advising African nations on how to boost their tax revenue collections to foster sustainable development.
Strengthening domestic resources offers an antidote to aid dependence and enables countries to take ownership of their development and growth agenda, the report, entitled African Economic Outlook 2014, said.
In 2012, low-income African countries on average collected tax equal to about 16.8 percent of gross domestic profit (GDP). This is below the minimum level of 20 percent considered by the United Nations as necessary to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, a set of eight five-year international development goals established by the United Nations in 2000, which include the eradication of extreme poverty.
Lower-middle-income African countries fared a little better, with an average tax burden of 19.9 percent of GDP in 2012, the OECD said. With an average tax burden of 34.4 percent in 2012, upper-middle-income countries came closer to the average in OECD countries of 35 percent. In comparison, in 2000, the tax burden equaled 12.6 percent, 20.9 percent, and 28 percent, respectively, for each of these income levels. For Africa as a whole, the tax burden stood at 26 percent of GDP in 2012, up from 24.4 percent in 2011.
According to the report, total collected tax revenue in Africa has increased four-fold since 2000, from USD137.5bn, to a record USD527.3bn in 2012. Natural resource-related tax revenue largely underpinned this strong increase.
The report highlighted a number of challenges that many African countries must overcome to increase tax revenues further. One of these is the shallow tax base in most African economies due to weak tax administration capabilities. Collections are particularly low from small businesses and farming activities due to a large informal economy, the OECD said.
Also, the tax base can be further eroded by competition for investment between African countries. The report noted that ineffective tax incentives are no compensation for a poor investment climate and may actually damage a developing country’s revenue base, eroding resources for the real drivers of investment decisions: infrastructure, education, and security.
A further challenge is posed by the need to develop effective transfer pricing and information exchange regimes, the report said.

In general, Hmong recognize that any life event or decision that affects one family member will have a direct or indirect impact on all of its members. Consequently, health care decisions are considered within the realm of the family as a whole rather than the individual alone. Traditionally, decisions were made as a group by kwv tij (the husband’s side of the family) under the supervision and guidance of the eldest male, with minimal input from the ill person. For elders, this often involved the eldest son or a male sibling.
Contemporary practice is expanding participation to include the ill person, wife, daughter-in-law (who often serves as the caregiver) and children with advanced education who contribute economically to the household. It is now becoming more prevalent that the eldest son takes into consideration the wishes of the elder who is ill, along with other family members. Individuals that contribute financially to the elder in question and their extended families tend to have more power in making decisions regardless of gender. For example an employed female may have more say in the funeral arrangements of her parents than her unemployed older brother.
Role of Women
The power that women hold in Hmong families is usually unseen by the public eye, but felt by the family nonetheless. While traditional power holders (men) are most often the official spokespeople for the family, women, must also be consulted in important decisions.
Ultimate Goal of Discussing Medical Decisions
The ultimate goal of discussing medical decisions and treatment plans with the patient and his/ her family is to obtain a consensus of opinion. Conflicts about treatment options are ideally settled through continued family discussions until a resolution is reached. A dispute may be resolved by consensus, but the final decision may be made by the individual of greatest power (i.e., an elder brother, a woman’s husband, or a couple’s eldest son).
Variety of Practices
It is important to recognize that there are a variety of family-based decision-making practices. Some elders will appear passive in family discussion and will defer to family members, such as spouses, older sons, or the family’s male leader. Others will actively participate in discussions about medical pros and cons and may express an opinion that is contrary to the family’s desires. Health care providers must find out who the appropriate people are to include when making critical decisions.


THE LOSS OF AN ICON. Saratoga Springs is losing another of its few remaining historic American elms. One of the most majestic, and certainly the most visible of our city’s few remaining large native elms died suddenly last summer, most likely another victim of Dutch elm disease. Towering above the northwest corner of Broadway and Van Dam Street, where it has welcomed every visitor arriving from Exit 15, this tree is scheduled for removal soon by the tree crew in the City’s Department of Public Works (DPW). City Arborist Steve Lashomb will manage the complex operation. Ironically, the announcement about plans to take down this titanic heritage tree coincided with Sustainable Saratoga’s Tree Toga event, when their volunteers planted 15 trees throughout the city, including 2 disease-resistant American elms.
Saratoga once was home to hundreds of American elms, the most graceful and beloved street tree of them all. During the city’s Victorian heyday, elms lined both sides of Broadway. The arrival of the Dutch elm disease midway through the 20th century wiped out all but a handful of these beloved trees. With this new loss, the only large old specimens left on or near Broadway are those in front of the Roohan Realty building, behind the Collamer Building near Maple Ave, in Congress Park near the Casino, and on South Broadway near Lincoln Ave (Click here for a map).
The big Broadway elm must be removed as soon as possible, because elm bark beetles breed in sick or recently killed elms. These tiny beetles fly to feed on healthy elms, carrying the spores of the deadly Dutch elm disease fungus with them. The DPW has expressed interest in taking effective measures to protect the remaining large City-owned elms, including inoculating them against future infections and quickly pruning or removing any infected elms.
After the near disappearance of the stately American elm from city streets, the DPW planted a variety of European and Asian hybrids that were developed as substitutes. In recent years, a number of disease-resistant American elm cultivars have become more commercially available. Sustainable Saratoga has assisted DPW in its effort to re-establish this iconic tree on our city streets through a program of limited and targeted planting. If these cultivars prove sufficiently resistant over time, they may grow to take a prominent place in Saratoga’s diverse and resilient urban forest.


Oral surgery is important for addressing complex dental issues including wisdom tooth extractions and gum and bone grafting. We has extensive experience in advanced oral surgery techniques, helping patients in Mesquite, Garland, Rockwall, Sunnyvale and throughout Dallas County, TX, get the best possible care.
Tooth Removal and Wisdom Teeth extractions
Also called third molars, wisdom teeth usually make their first appearance in young adults between the ages of 15 to 25. Because most mouths are too small for these molars, an extraction procedure, sometimes immediately after they surface, is often necessary. Most oral health specialists will recommend an immediate removal of the wisdom teeth, as early removal will help to eliminate future problems. At Verma Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, we offer different options of sedation so that the appointment is relaxed.
Oral Surgery Q & A
What is oral surgery?
Oral surgery includes procedures designed to treat more complex issues, including complex extractions and wisdom tooth extractions, gum surgery, bone and gum grafting, and placement of implants. Oral surgery can also be used to rebuild teeth or other areas of the mouth following trauma.
Do wisdom teeth always need to be extracted?
Wisdom tooth extraction is almost always a good idea. Because wisdom teeth are the last teeth to emerge, the mouth is already filled with teeth by the time they erupt from beneath the gum. As a result, many wisdom teeth become “stuck” or impacted under neighboring teeth, or they may emerge sideways or crooked, pressing on other teeth and causing alignment issues or chronic pain. Having these teeth pulled is essential for maintaining oral health and avoiding other, more serious issues. Even when wisdom teeth emerge in alignment, having them removed can play an important role in avoiding future problems. That’s because the location of wisdom teeth far back in the jaw makes them difficult to clean, and that means bacteria and tartar can easily build up, causing tooth decay and gum disease that can affect other teeth as well. Having them removed can help patients avoid these potentially serious consequences.

What War was this Battle in and When was the Battle?
The war is the War of 1812 and the Battle was fought January 18, 1813 and January 22, 1813.
Didn't Canada Declare War on the United States?
No, in fact the American strategy bet on a land war, with one prong to invade upper Canada via the Old Northwest. Here in the Northwest Territory the U.S. pursued a land war partly because British ships ruled Lake Erie to supply their troops, militia, and native allies.
Where did the Cry "Remember the Raisin!" come from?
It wasn't actually from the Battles of the River Raisin but the day after the Battles took place. On January 23, 1813, Native-American allies of the British surprised the wounded Americans that were left in the homes of Frenchtown (mostly Kentuckians) and killed most of the 60-65 that remained.
What do Kentuckians have to do with the Battle?
There were actually about 667 Kentucky Volunteer Militia that fought in the Battles under Revolutionary War veteran General James Winchester.
Why is the River called the River Raisin?
The River was named "Riviere aux Raisin" by the French-Canadian settlers that resided here. They called it the River Raisin because of the wild grapes growing along the banks of the River. At the time of the Battle the settlement was known as River Raisin or St. Antoines (after the first Catholic Church founded here in the late 1788). Later it was called Frenchtown because of the French inhabitants that founded it. In 1817 the name was changed to Monroe after President James Monroe.
Why is the Muskrat important?
The muskrat was very important to the French-Canadian settlers because they were fur traders and trappers and muskrats were very plentiful at the River Raisin. Also after the Battles were over, the settlers that remained at Frenchtown turned to the lowly muskrat for survival during the brutal winter of 1813-1814. Today the Muskrat is considered a French delicacy, and there are numerous Muskrat dinners in Monroe in February and March. Major Muskrat is the Battlefield's Mascot for children's programming.

Why Are Deer Sterilized?
Posted by Deerbusters on 12th May 2014
Have you ever heard of a city or county sterilizing the deer in their area? If so, have you ever wondered why? Like hunting, sterilization serves as a form of population control; the most common areas to use it are areas with large human populations and not much hunting land.
The most recent city to initiate deer sterilization is Fairfax City, Virginia. With so many homes in the area, hunting isn’t the best option for deer control, so the city has turned to sterilization. According to an article from The Washington Post, deer populations are reducing by 10% every year (without hunting) in towns that use sterilization. In many of these towns, taxpayers pay for the procedures, but in this case, a group of private donors have funded a two-year grant to Fairfax City.
Females vs. Males
When a community decides to use sterilization for this control, it’s usually the female deer (or does) that are sterilized. Choosing females is more effective because they are the ones that give birth. If a male is sterilized, it keeps him from impregnating a female – but that female could always be impregnated by another (normal) male. If she is sterilized, however, it doesn’t matter which male she’s with – she won’t become pregnant.
How the Process Works
The process used to sterilize deer is pretty simple and begins with tranquilizers: A doe is shot with a tranquilizer dart that has a tracking devices attached to it. Once the deer is down, she is taken to either police headquarters or a local animal hospital where a short procedure is performed to remove her ovaries. The recovery time is short as well as the pain following the procedure, however, the process can be expensive (around $1,000 per deer).
Sterilization is often seen as more effective than culling; it can be done after culling has taken place and the sterilized deer can “contribute to resource limitation and density-dependence in reproduction” (according to an article by J.L Boone and R. G. Wiegart).
What are your thoughts on deer sterilization?


ELT in Brazilian public schools: History, challenges, new experiences and perspectives
Keywords:ELT, linguistic policies, Brazilian contexts
Historically speaking, the teaching of English was never a part of Brazilian primary schools programmes. Foreign language teaching as an obligatory school subject appears only in the sixth year of basic education, and its goal is more connected to the development of critical citizens, rather than to the promotion of proficient speakers of the language. Recently, however, a number of municipal public educational systems, often in partnership with private language institutes, have introduced ELT from the very first year of primary school. This is the case, for example, of the project Rio Global Child 2016, created by the City of Rio de Janeiro in partnership with Cultura Inglesa, a well-known private English institute in Brazil. What I intend to do in this paper, thus, is: firstly, to present an historical overview of ELT in Brazilian public schools, discussing its educational relevance and functions, the challenges faced by teachers and students, and both the beliefs and debates concerning the issue (cf. Almeida, 2012; Assis-Peterson, 2003; Moita Lopes, 1996; Tílio, 2012) – including also a first account of the Brazilian cities involved in the implementation of ELT in primary schools; and, then, to discuss critically Rio de Janeiro’s project for the teaching of English in primary schools. Such a discussion is necessary not only because it may help to understand better the risks of adopting a single method (and its materials) for teaching in contexts that can be extremely different from one another, but also because other projects and experiences may benefit from an honest account of the problems faced by the association of private and public spheres and interests exemplified by Rio’s project.


People can pass on SARS-coV-2 easily to other animals, particularly during close physical contact. Incidences of animals infected with SARS have been reported all over the globe. Many of these animals became ill after coming into contact with individuals with COVID-19, which is a virus from the Cockapoo Genuses family. Some of these animals probably had the virus before coming into contact with humans, but still others probably acquired their illness after coming into contact with sick or dying humans. This scenario makes animal welfare and animal health professionals extremely worried about the risks associated with domestic animals and their domestic contacts.
The worrisome situation becomes even more worrisome when one considers that the disease has been isolated to only humans. In humans, there is only one type of the virus, and it can only be transmitted through contact with bodily fluids, such as that which is shed through the skin. If a person with a low immune system is to get sick, he or she will need to infect others with the virus in order to survive. However, if the carrier of the CoVs is an already sick wild animal, that animal will become extinct, and the rest of its species will become susceptible to the disease. It seems that the only way to keep any of these wild animals from spreading this deadly virus to humans is to contain all domestic animals, and make sure that each and every pet in the household is properly vaccinated and tested regularly.
One case law in California says that if an animal lives beyond the age of seven years, it may be euthanized or imprisoned without respect to its intelligence. If an animal is adopted by a parent who is less than 18 years old, then that child may not be able to obtain custody of that animal, and cannot be held responsible for the death of that pet. If an animal is used in the production of drugs or other products, then the drug company may be held liable for its use by consumers. This includes all dogs, cats, birds, fish, and other animals. If you have questions or would like more information regarding this issue, contact a private attorney practicing in animal law in California.


You can use the LINEST function to fit a regression model in Excel.
This function uses the following basic syntax:
LINEST(known_y's, known_x's, const, stats)
- known_y’s: A column of values for the response variable
- known_x’s: One or more columns of values for the predictor variables
- const: TRUE = calculate intercept normally, FALSE = force intercept to be zero
- stats: TRUE = calculate additional regression statistics, FALSE = only calculate coefficients
The following example shows how to interpret the output of the LINEST function in practice.
Example: How to Interpret LINEST Output in Excel
Suppose we have the following dataset that contains one predictor variable (x) and one response variable (y):
We can type the following formula into cell D1 to perform simple linear regression with this dataset:
=LINEST(A2:A15, B2:B15, TRUE, TRUE)
The output from the LINEST function contains the coefficients of the regression model along with several additional statistics:
The following screenshot provides an explanation of each value in the output:
From the output we can see:
- The coefficient for β0 is 3.52169.
- The coefficient for β1 is 0.693717.
Using these values, we can write the equation for this simple regression model:
y = 3.52169 + 0.693717(x)
We interpret this to mean that each additional one unit increase in the predictor variable, x, is associated with an average increase of 0.693717 in the response variable, y.
We interpret the intercept term to mean that when x is equal to zero, the average value of y is 3.52169.
We can also see:
- The R-squared value of the model is 0.888.
We interpret this to mean that the predictor variable is able to explain 88.8% of the variation in the response variable of the model.

August is Immunization Month
Vaccination is the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease. Immunization is a process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination.
Schools are returning to in person learning and the COVID-19 pandemic is still going on. And now we have the COVID Delta Variant increasing. With all other immunizations that are recommended for children the CDC recommends children 12 year and above to get the COVID -19 vaccine. By getting the COVID-19 vaccine it can help keep your child from getting seriously sick even if they get COVID-19 as well as help protect your whole family.
Immunizations are important for adults as well as children.They may hurt a little, but the disease they prevent can be a lot worse. They protect against diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, polio, tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough).
Immunization is the process through which a person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease typically by the administration of a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate the body’s own immune system to protect the person against subsequent infection or disease. Before vaccines people became immune by getting the disease and surviving it, and then the immune system remembers the germ and can fight it again. Immunizations make this process easier and less risky way to become immune.
Immunization schedule may vary from location, your child’s health, type of vaccine and the vaccines availability. Some vaccines may be given as part of a combination so that fewer shots are given. Talk with your doctor about which vaccines you and your kids need. For a complete recommended schedule of dates for immunizations go to: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/index.html.

The hallmark of the Hellenistic era was chaos due to the deteriorating political influence of the city states and countless ruinous wars among autocratic rulers. That Tyche, the mercurial goddess of chance, was highly venerated everywhere, clearly indicates the instability of the time. Hellenistic people were deeply cognizant of the omnipresence of contingency in their lives.
Ancient Greek mythology symbolized the existential considerations of the Hellenic Greek their origin and the nature of things. The Greek Pantheon consists of anthropomorphic beings with supernatural powers and desires. Much like humans, they are capricious, intolerant and bored. Therefore, these Olympians account for a frightening, unpredictable reality and the gratuitous suffering of mortals. Continue reading Ex Nihilo

More common causes are listed first. Less common causes are listed later.
- Dental disease is responsible for the vast majority of cases of bad breath in pets. Mild dental disease is responsible for “dog breath” and “cat breath”. Severe dental disease can cause severe halitosis.
- Animals who have recently consumed malodorous materials such as garbage or feces, or animals who have recently vomited will have bad breath.
- Animals with infections in their mouths due to tooth abscesses or oral trauma may have halitosis.
- Food or foreign objects lodged in the mouth (for instance, between teeth) can cause bad breath.
- Metabolic diseases such as kidney disease may cause bad breath.
- In cats, eosinophilic granulomas (also known as rodent ulcers) may lead to halitosis.
- Growths, tumors, or polyps in the mouth can trigger bad breath.
Recommended Course of Action
Mild halitosis (“dog breath” or “cat breath”) may improve with gentle daily tooth brushing. Do not use human toothpaste when brushing a pet’s teeth.
Severe halitosis usually has a medically significant cause (such as dental disease). Pets with severe halitosis should receive veterinary care.
Any pet who suffers a precipitate worsening of halitosis should be evaluated by a veterinarian. Likewise, any animal who suffers from halitosis in combination with other symptoms such as lethargy, lack of appetite, drooling, oral pain, or bleeding from the mouth should receive veterinary care as soon as possible.
When in doubt the safest course of action is to consult with a veterinarian.

History's Greatest Battles저자: Nigel Cawthorne 전자책으로
Great battles mark history's turning points, occurring as they do where cultures and ideologies clash.
While some battles have been won by the superior force, others have been won by a sheer dogged refusal to surrender in the face of overwhelming odds.
All the great battles in this book are pivotal in history: if any one of them had gone the other way, the world would have been a very different place. And none of them - with the exception, perhaps, of Iwo Jima and Berlin - was a foregone conclusion.
From the battle of Marathon in 490bc, when the vastly outnumbered Athenian army turned back an invasion of the mighty Persian empire, up to the Vietnamese defeat of the French army at the battle of Dien Bien Phu, the battles in this book demonstrate that God is not always on the side of the big battalions.
History's Greatest Battles covers the whole gamut of warfare, from huge sea battles involving hundreds of ships and thousands of men, to single regiments who dug in and fought on long past the time when surrender would have been honourable.


Among the multitude of products and technologies invented and/or sold by Monsanto, or a company that later became a part of Monsanto:
- "Control of Plant Gene Expression"
The 'terminator seed' was jointly developed by the USDA and the Delta and Pine Land Company in 1998. It is a process in which a plant is genetically engineered to produce sterile seeds. Delta and Pine announced this technology in March of 1998. Monsanto bought them out in May.
- Polychlorinated Biphenyls (Aroclor, Pyroclor)
Most of the PCBs in the United States were manufactured by Monsanto until they were banned in 1976. PCBs are nonflammable and do not conduct electricity. They are linked to cancer, birth defects, and other negative health effects.
- rBGH Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone
A genetically engineered hormone that makes dairy cows produce more milk. It also shortens the cows' lives, can lead to udder infection (which must be treated with antibiotics). BGH-treated cows' milk contains elevated levels of the hormone IGF-1, which is believed to be linked to increased cancer risk in humans. rBGH is banned in Canada.
- Agent Orange 2,4,5-T
The herbicide used in Vietnam to destroy the foliage cover that the Viet Cong hid under. Often times Agent Orange was contaminated with 2,3,7,8-TCDD (Dioxin). The TCDD is linked to cancers and birth defects. It is banned in the United States.


Before then, helmet use was only suggested for children under the age of 13. An ordinance encouraged parents and legal guardians to tell their children in this age range to wear helmets.
The new measure comes following a survey on helmet use by the National Police Agency. It polled 16,435 people in 13 prefectures in February and March, finding that only 665, or 4 percent, wore helmets while riding.
Kumamoto Prefecture in the country's southeast had the highest rate of any prefecture at 7.8 percent, while Hyogo Prefecture had the lowest at 1.9 percent. The figures for Tokyo and Osaka were 5.6 and 2.4 percent respectively.
The agency says it will also implement measures to raise awareness about the effectiveness of helmets in reducing injuries.
Helmet sales rising
Many cyclists have been buying helmets following the introduction of the ordinance.
A bicycle shop in Tokyo's Minato Ward says sales of helmets in March were up more than 150 percent from the same month last year.
Store manager Tabuchi Kyosuke says more elderly people and women are buying helmets. He says models with simple designs have been particularly popular, with most either selling out or in short supply.
Fatality rate more than doubles for non-helmet users
The police agency says more than 68,000 bicycle riders were killed or injured in traffic accidents in 2022. Eighty-eight percent of them were not wearing helmets.
Of the 339 people killed, 179 suffered fatal head injuries.
The agency says the fatality rate in 2022 among cyclists not wearing helmets was 2.6 times higher than that of those who were wearing helmets.
The agency's data shows only 3.6 percent of people aged 65 or older wear helmets while almost 28 percent of children aged 1-9 wear them.


School students increasingly use digital technologies at home to enhance learning and bridge the school-home divide. In response to this trend, we developed the Learning@Home site as a way to equip families with strategies to enhance children’s literacy within a digital learning environment at home.
A key motivation for the project has been the concern that a second “digital divide” could open up based on differences in how students and families engage with digital technologies. This means that some students—particularly those from low-decile schools—could lose out on the opportunities to develop literacy skills through digital technologies if they and their families do not have access to the appropriate resources. Perhaps the greatest potential for a divide in digital practice occurs over the summer. The summer learning effect adds to inequalities in educational outcomes because achievement levels of students in low-decile schools are differently affected by time out of school.
In developing the Learning@Home site, we sought to provide families with answers for what they need to know and do about learning at home in a digital environment in order to enhance children’s literacy.
Why should children do learning at home?
♦ It improves students’ self-regulation (the ability to independently manage their time, goals, focus, distractions, and personal responsibility for learning) which prepares students for the demands of NCEA, tertiary or university studies, as well as work and home life.
♦ Learning with digital devices further increases opportunities for students to practice and develop self-regulation, as reading online is thought to be far more complex than traditional print reading.
♦ It increases student achievement and sets them up for future success in the wider world of work and social life.
♦ It builds habits that contribute to future success such as promotion at work, completing goals on time, and looking after personal needs such as health.
♦ It gives opportunities to improve parental (or caregiver) involvement and connections at school, culturally, and within families.

Today I want to teach you the C Minor Melodic scale. As you might know by now, melodic scales have a couple of different notes as the descend than they do as they ascend. The notes for this scale are C, D, E flat, F, G, A, B, C on the way up. Coming down from the C they are B flat, A flat, G, F, E flat, D, and C.
The right hand starts one the thumb. When the third finger hits the F, the thumb comes under to hit the G and continue up the scale. You will finish the climb with the pinky on the C. Coming down, don't forget to hit the B flat instead of the B natural, then the A flat instead of the A natural. From there the walking down is as simple as reversing your steps.
the left hand starts off on the pinky finger and continues until you get to the G with your thumb. At that point, cross over with your third finger and finish with your thumb on the C. Again, on the way down reverse your steps, but don't forget the B flat and the A flat.

The compilation of a portfolio for primary school - is a creative work. You can dream, come up with a variety of sections and categories that are of interest to the child.
Start compiling a portfolio with the title-page. It is necessary to specify a surname, the name of the student, his age. You can stick a picture of him, as well as describe the palm. As a child growing up circling it several times. This will allow us to trace the growing baby.
On the second sheet, you can issue the material about school life. Write the number of the school where he goes. Also, specify the class in which he learns. Place the attached files are photos from school life. You can write essays about school or favorite teachers.
If the child studies well, has certificates of merit for achievements in the study of any academic disciplines, and to reflect that in the portfolio.
Perhaps he participated in the Olympiads or scientific conferences and he was the winner, don't forget to mention it. Invest in the portfolio and the essay, with whom he spoke at the conference, as well as certificates, diplomas, letters of thanks.
You also need to uncover what motivates the student in their spare time. For example, he is in art school or in sports. Children's work (drawings, embroidery, applique) attach to a file and attach it to a portfolio.
Prepare questions for the questionnaire that you can fill your friends or classmates. There they will be able to write your comments about comrade and wishes for him.
If the child will write a creative work about what he'd become, after a while it will be interesting to compare their aspirations and achievements.
Ask him to write about what the movies or the music he loves.
If the student is passionate about art, for example, writes poetry, place his best poems or prose.
You can ask the class teacher to review student. It will be a great addition to information about the child's personality.


Infections inside teeth can be detrimental, and if left untreated, you can lose an infected tooth and it may pose other health risks. In most cases, an infected tooth can be treated with root canal therapy, relieving pain and saving the tooth. Our team at Scott A. Babin, DDS and Associates offers root canal therapy for painful, infected teeth at our clinic in Edmonds, and Renton, WA..
Each tooth has nerves inside its roots. These nerves are important when the tooth is growing and emerging, but they are not necessary to maintain a healthy adult tooth. When an infection or decay reaches the inner portion of the tooth, it can cause irritation of these nerves. Infections or abscesses in teeth often cause pain, but more importantly, they can jeopardize the tooth. Root canal therapy is often the only option to save an infected tooth and stop the pain.
Root Canals Offers Pain Relief for Infected Teeth
What is root canal therapy? Each tooth has one or more roots that extend down into the jaw through the tooth socket. Inside the roots are nerves that connect the tooth to the nervous system, surrounded by pulp. A root canal is used to clean out the decay and the infected pulp from inside the affected tooth roots; the nerve roots are also removed. Once the root is cleaned and disinfected, it is repacked with sterile material, and the tooth is sealed. In many cases, a dental crown is placed over the weakened tooth to protect it from further damage. The treatment can eliminate infected tooth pain and stop the spread of infection.
Root canal therapy can relieve infected tooth pain in as little as one visit and save a tooth from extraction. If you have a painful tooth, contact our team at Scott A. Babin, DDS and Associates. Our team can schedule an exam to determine whether you have an abscess or tooth infection. We offer root canal therapy in a relaxed and comfortable environment, with sedation dentistry available.


More people living with HIV than ever before know their HIV status, are accessing antiretroviral therapy and are virally suppressed, reflecting strong progress towards the 90–90–90 targets:
When all three 90s are achieved, 73% of all people living with HIV have suppressed viral loads. An estimated 25.4 million [24.5 million–25.6 million] of the 38.0 million [31.6 million–44.5 million] people living with HIV worldwide were on antiretroviral therapy in 2019, a number that has more than tripled since 2010. In spite of this impressive increase, the world may not achieve its target of 30 million on treatment by the end of 2020.
There have been gains across the HIV testing and treatment cascade. At the end of 2019, 81% [68–95%] of people living with HIV knew their HIV status, more than two thirds (67% [54–79%]) were on treatment, and almost 59% [49–69%] had suppressed viral loads. Gains in treatment effectiveness, as well as increases in the number of people who know their status and are on treatment, are reflected in the fact that rates of viral load suppression among all people living with HIV have risen by 44% (or 18 percentage points) between 2015 and 2019.
Once people living with HIV start treatment, most are able to stay on treatment and achieve viral suppression, reflecting improvements in both antiretrovial medicines and differentiated care. Progress towards the third 90 within the 90–90–90 targets—the percentage of people on treatment who have durable viral suppression—stood at 88% [71–100%] in 2019. Progress has also been made towards the second 90, with 82% [66–97%] of people who know their HIV status on treatment. However, gaps across the testing and treatment cascade add up to 15.7 million people living with HIV globally who have an unsuppressed viral load, which endangers their health and facilitates the further spread of HIV.
Globally, and in nearly all regions, greater percentages of women are accessing antiretroviral therapy than men. In 2019, treatment coverage globally was 12 percentage points lower among men living with HIV than women living with HIV. This gap was largest in western and central Africa (67% treatment coverage among women and 49% treatment coverage among men), while treatment coverage among both sexes in western and central Europe and North America was equal at 81%.


Launch of World Health Organization Spinal Cord Injury Report ‘International Perspectives on Spinal Cord Injury’
The World Health Organization (WHO) will launch the Report on 3 December 2013, International Day of Persons with Disabilities. A website with life stories of people affected by SCI, and related advocacy and media materials, will accompany the publication of the report, which will be available in English as both the full report and in summary version, with German, French and other language versions to follow. The report has been developed in association with the International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS), Swiss Paraplegic Research (SPF), and with support from the International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (ISPRM).
International Perspectives on Spinal Cord Injury assembles and summarizes the best available scientific evidence on spinal cord injury (SCI) in particular the epidemiology, services, interventions and policies, together with the lived experience of people with SCI across the life course and throughout the world. The Report makes recommendations for actions based on this evidence that are consistent with the aspirations for inclusion and participation as expressed in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
SCI is a medically complex and life-disrupting condition, that has considerable consequences, both for individuals and society. People are left dependent, are excluded from school, and are less likely to be employed. Worst of all, they risk premature death. Access to specialized health care including physical and rehabilitation medicine is the most critical factor in avoiding premature death and secondary conditions and in restoring functional capacity through life long health care management to facilitate full participation and social inclusion.

Human neurons in mouse brains are more susceptible to Alzheimer’s pathology
Cells behave differently when removed from their environments, just as cells that develop in cultures do not behave like cells in living creatures. To study the effects of Alzheimer’s disease in a more natural environment, scientists from the lab of professor Bart De Strooper (VIB-KU Leuven, Dementia Research Institute-UK) in collaboration with scientists from ULB (profs Pierre Vanderhaeghen and Jean-Pierre Brion) successfully circumscribed this challenge by transplanting human neural cells into mouse brains containing amyloid plaques, one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. The results of their research showed that, unlike mouse neurons, human neurons that developed in this environment were extremely susceptible to Alzheimer’s disease. Their high-impact results are published in leading academic journal Neuron.
The study of the development of Alzheimer’s disease on a molecular level presents unique challenges, as neurons behave differently in vivo vs. in vitro. Using mice as models presents useful insights, but mouse models never fully develop the disease, despite the fact that their brains and neurons share many similarities with those of humans.
