Benefits of Fasting
Speaking about the physical effects and Benefits of Fasting Paracelsus the great Swiss German Physician had once remarked, “Fasting is the greatest remedy; the physician within”.
The above stated thought of William Secker is indeed very true. Normally we eat as our mind dictates and mind generally goes by taste and liking and not what is good for our body. So when we go on a fast we in a way surrender to our soul or nature and then good is bound to happen.
Fasting affects us at physical, mental and spiritual levels.
Fasting is one of the oldest ways of bringing falling health on track. To some westerners the idea of fasting seems strange, but fasting is a common practice in the wise old east (India and neighboring countries) and Middle East. Longer fasts are not recommended unless done under strict medical supervision, however shorter fasts of half day, one day or two days if done properly carry plenty of health benefits.
Fasting is Miracle Cure
There are many ailments or physical conditions such as allergies, arthritis, digestive disorders of all kinds, skin conditions, cardiovascular disease, and asthma, which have been observed to be cured with fasting.
The secret behind its miraculous effect is that fasting triggers healing mechanisms already present in the body.
Benefits of Fasting
• Gives rest to the digestive system.
• Detoxifies the body.
• Gives mental clarity and emotional rest.
• Gives inner stillness.
• Increases overall energy level.
• Plenty of energy which is used in digestive processes (Digesting, assimilating and metabolizing) is freed during fasting and can be used for natural healing.
In addition to the above fasting has been observed to give anti-aging effects, better attitude, improved resistance to disease, better sleep, clearer skin, creative mind, improved vision, hearing and taste and a heart full of inspiration, mental clarity, Relaxed state of body and mind, purification, reduction of allergies, improved spiritual awareness, excess-fat loss
Fasting Improves Brain Functions
Medical research confirms that fasting increases in the body a protein called BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotropic Factor). This protein regulates memory, learning and cognitive function of the brain. It also increases life of existing neurons and also increases growth of new neurons. The lines of communication among neurons are also developed.
Low levels of BDNF protein has also been linked to Alzheimer’s disease.


Milia are small dome-shaped bumps that are usually white or yellow. They’re generally not itchy or painful. However, rough sheets or clothing may cause milia and appear irritated. Often times, the rash you see is normal in newborns and there is no reason to fret.
What causes milia in babies has not been discovered. It’s commonly mistaken for baby acne, which is triggered by hormones from the mother.
Milia occurs frequently in newborns, withabout 50% of newborns having milia on their skin within a month of being born.
Unlike what people think, milia does not cause inflammation or swelling, as baby acne does. Usually, babies who have milia are born with it, while baby acne doesn’t begin to show until two to four weeks after birth.
How to prevent and cure Milia
Preventing milia can be quite challenging. However, wash your baby’s face and always pat dry gently andavoid pinching, squeezing, or scrubbing the lumps.
There is no need to treat milia with ointment because they’ll go away with or without treatment, and this is usually within weeks to months after birth.
Milia don’t leave scars, so don’t be tempted to burst them. Be patient and watch them clear away.
- Keep him/her away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can further irritate the rash because it causes dryness.
- Be very gentle on the area of your baby’s skin affected by the rash. Don’t rub or scratch the rash at all.
- Always use mild cleansers when bathing your baby, and apply baby-friendly calming creams and lotions to moisturize their skin.
Heat rashes will often clear up on its own if you keep your baby’s skin cool. To speed up the healing process, bathe your child in cool water and pat his skin dry with a soft towel. The itchiness and discomfort that results from prickly heat will be relieved once your baby’s skin cools down.
If you are concerned about these rashes, your baby’s complexion or if it doesn’t clear up within three months, then see a specialist.
Pay attention to the rash size and shape and pay a visit to a doctor if it continues to spread despite treatment.

It is increasingly necessary to have your house wired properly a.k.a. smart wiring as technology in the 21st century keeps evolving.
Structured wiring refers to running cables through the walls of your home that can carry all of the different signals required to integrate computer networks, home entertainment systems, cables or satellite TV, telephone, climate control and even home security systems, all operated by a central control or remotely through the Internet.
What technology you want in your home will be strictly controlled by the wiring infrastructure you install. Get the smart wiring right and everything else is easy.
The first concern with our infrastructural wiring relates to electrical codes. The National Electrical Code (NEC) prescribes the following properties of the wire to be used in your walls:
All wiring used behind walls, under the floors or otherwise installed as a structural component of the building must be properly rated. Even speaker wires that go inside the walls have to be rated as either Class 2 or Class 3.
Next you need to decide on wiring gauge and conductor count. How do you know what's right for the job? Well, let's look at the speaker wire for instance.
The distance from the audio amplifier to the speaker location is a major factor in deciding which wire is right for the installation. Every foot of speaker wire adds more resistance, capacitance and inductance to perform equation. Shorter runs of wire that are twisted and shielded a certain way yield better sound quality.

Lewis “Lew” Wallace (1827-1905) was born on April 10, 1827 in Brookville, Indiana to a prominent family. His father, David Wallace, was a West Point graduate, U.S. Congressman, and 6th governor of Indiana. Wallace was well-educated for the time, and showed a proficiency for writing. He went on to publish the influential novel Ben Hur (1880).
Wallace was a lawyer by trade and friend of Indiana Governor Oliver P. Morton on the eve of the American Civil War. Morton made Wallace adjutant general of Indiana, tasked with overseeing recruiting and organization of the state’s militia. That mission rapidly accomplished, he was given command of the 11th Indiana Volunteer Regiment. His regiment, styled in French-inspired “zouave” jackets, was originally stationed in Cairo, Illinois, but Wallace used his political connections to get his men transferred closer to the action.
The 11th Indiana was sent to guard the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in Maryland, across the Potomac River from Virginia. It technically fell under Maj. Gen. Robert Patterson and the Department of Pennsylvania but operated independently. It arrived in Cumberland, Maryland on June 10, 1861. Patterson gave Wallace leeway to “capture or rout” armed insurgents in the area, and he was happy to oblige. He stayed there until mid-July, when his regiment and he returned home to reenlist for 3-years.


Hemoglobin is composed of four iron heme subunits that can each individually bind oxygen. These four hemes participate in cooperative binding, which means that when one heme subunit binds oxygen, the others are more likely to bind.
Lots of hemoglobin is needed in red blood cells because of the high oxygen demands of the body.
High O2 levels increases hemoglobin's binding affinity for oxygen, allowing it to pick up oxygen in areas like the alveolus.
High temperature also reduces oxygen-binding affinity in hemoglobin as part of the physiological response to hyperthermia.
High carbon dioxide levels reduce hemoglobin's binding affinity for oxygen, allowing it to drop oxygen off at tissues. Because tissues are undergoing cellular metabolism, they produce CO2 as a byproduct and use O2 as an electron acceptor.
Low pH reduces O2 binding in a condition called acidosis. If respiration levels are low and CO2 is not being exhaled fast enough, blood becomes acidic and O2 binding in hemoglobin is reduced.
Myoglobin is a hemoglobin derivative found only in muscle cells. It has one subunit instead of four.

If the user is creating new features and wants the new features to automatically correspond to a label class, this can be done with a subtype, an annotation feature class, and a relationship class.
- Create a new Short Integer field in the attribute table of the feature class; this becomes the Subtype field.
To proceed, the data must be in a feature dataset within a geodatabase. The feature dataset must match the spatial reference of the feature classes. Refer to the following for more information on creating a feature dataset.
- Open the Properties of the feature class and go to the Subtypes tab. Use the Subtype Field dropdown menu and choose the field that was created in Step 1. Define the Subtypes in the Subtypes box.
- Ensure that the Maplex Label Engine is enabled in the map document.
Open the Label Manager from the Labeling toolbar.
- By default, the feature class has one Label Class called Default. If the subtypes were succesfully created, the Subtypes values appear under the 'Select symbology categories' section. Ensure all subtypes are checked and uncheck <all other values>.
- Click Add. If a warning message appears about overwriting the label classes, click Yes; this shows the feature class with the subtype values below it in the Label Classes section of the Label Manager.
- Define the label styles by going to each subtype label class and adjusting the formatting for things such as color, text size, placement, and so forth. More information about the Maplex Labeling engine can be found here: A quick tour of labeling with the Maplex Label Engine.
- To populate the existing subtypes in the geodatabase, start an edit session and plot a feature for each subtype. Or, start an edit session and assign one of each of the subtypes for existing features.
- Right-click the feature class in the Table of Contents and select 'Convert Labels to Annotation'. Accept the defaults in the Convert Labels to Annotation dialog.
Users must have an ArcGIS for Desktop Standard or ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced license to convert to feature-linked annotation.
- In the above steps, a relationship class and an annotation feature class should have been created. Each time a feature is plotted, the associated subtype label is also plotted. Since it is annotation, the user can make necessary adjustments as needed.


Economies of Scale in Election Expenditures
Return to Election Data Dispatches.
Recent studies in California and Colorado have found that less populous counties have higher costs per registered voter.
In California, the study examined election expenditures between 1992 and 2008 and found a 1 percent increase in county population correlated with a 0.05 percent decrease in expenditures per registered voter. For example, San Diego County had an average cost of $6.57 per voter, while Modoc County, the third-smallest county in the state, spent $18.07 per voter.
Similarly, the Colorado report found the average cost per voter in 2010 for small counties was $10.21 versus $4.95 for medium counties and $4.92 for large counties.
In an earlier dispatch, we discussed research that found similar results in North Dakota.
So why are elections more expensive in smaller counties?
Sarah Hill and Allan Wallis, authors of the California and Colorado studies respectively, think the cost difference may be due to economies of scale. All counties have fixed costs associated with running elections. These costs include finding and setting up polling places or voting centers, purchasing and maintaining voting equipment, and hiring and training election workers.
Smaller counties have fewer voters to absorb the fixed costs than in a larger county, resulting in a higher average cost per voter.
Smaller counties may also face higher postage and machine repair costs, according to the researchers. While larger counties are able to negotiate bulk mail rates, less populous counties do not have the volume of mail to get a cheaper rate.
Small counties may also have higher maintenance costs since they are more likely to rely on vendors instead of paid staff for equipment repairs.


The Humber River watershed, the largest river system in the Toronto region, covers 903 square kilometres. From its source on the Oak Ridges Moraine and Niagara Escarpment, the Humber flows through outstanding natural habitats in rural and urban landscapes, to Lake Ontario.
The name Little Thundering Waters, "Niwa'ah Onega'gaih'ih," is how the original peoples of the land referred to it because of its rapidly running water and by the oral tradition as being a place where the Thunderers have been marked. At least 12,000 years ago, the watershed was home to Indigenous Peoples. At the narrows of the river is where Toronto, "log in the water," got its name. There were great white pine logs across the river for the people to cross over the river. At this crossing was the Erie/Neutral, Seneca and Mohawk village of Taiaiagon, "village at the crossing." The village was a major "meeting place" for Indigenous Nations to gather for trade and council. Through the village was an established overland route along the river corridor to the Canadian interior. Later European explorers and settlers used this route they called the Toronto Carrying-Place Trail. Today, the Humber provides recreational and educational opportunities and a spiritual retreat for thousands of people of many different cultures.
This plaque commemorates the Humber River's designation as a Canadian Heritage River and honours those people - past, present and future - who want to protect and enhance the Humber's heritage and recreational resources.

WASHINGTON – Clinical trials to learn a COVID-19 vaccine candidate’s safety and efficacy from American biotech company Novavax have started in the United States and Mexico, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced Monday.
A similar Phase 3 trial for the same vaccine, designated NVX-CoV2373, is also initiated in the United Kingdom, where about 15,000 volunteers have been selected.
In the US and Mexico, the new tests will include around 30,000 volunteers over 18.
Two-thirds of the participants will receive the vaccine and one-third a placebo. None of them will know, for the trial’s duration, what was in the injection they accepted.
As stated by the leading US immunologist Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the NIH:
“The launch of this study — the fifth investigational COVID-19 vaccine candidate to be tested in a Phase 3 trial in the United States — demonstrates our resolve to end the pandemic through the development of multiple safe and effective vaccines,”
The goal is that at least 25 per cent of the participants in the US and Mexico trials should be aged 65 and over, the statement said.
Emphasis will also be placed on recruiting people who are more exposed to COVID-19 — African-Americans and Hispanics in particular — or who present with underlying health conditions that put them at higher risk, such as obesity or diabetes.
The vaccine is taken in 2 doses, three weeks apart. It can be stored between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius (35 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit) — much warmer temperatures than already approved vaccines from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna, meaning manufacturers could easier distribute it.
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are based on new technology, messenger RNA, while the Novavax vaccine is a recombinant protein vaccine.
The coronavirus has spikes (viral proteins) on its surface that contact cells it infects. These proteins can be reproduced and presented to the immune system to recognize them later and react if infected.
Two other vaccines that have managed Phase 3 trials, those from Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca/Oxford, are expected soon to seek emergency authorization for distribution in the US, the nation’s most affected by the pandemic in absolute numbers worldwide.

Genetic Linkage connects new research findings, based on the wiring of my brain after years of writing a human genetics textbook and lots of articles. Here, the linking of sense and nonsense.
The excitement of genetic research these days is when genome sweeps of people sharing a disease reveal possible responsible genes. That’s what happened when researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania looked at genomic landmarks among 1,114 brains from people who had died of progressive supranuclear palsy
(PSP), a form of dementia that affects movement.
PSP is a “tauopathy,” in which the dark gummy protein tau, of Alzheimer’s fame, smothers the brain. Compared to unaffected brains, the PSP brains differ in three genome neighborhoods, harboring three new
candidate genes that make sense: one impairs brain cells’ abilities to untangle misfolded proteins, another boots misfolded proteins out of cells, and a third may help wrap brain cells in insulating myelin. New drug targets!
In genetics nonsense is important too. A nonsense mutation inserts a “stop” right smack in the middle of a gene, like a period in the middle of a sentence. It shortens the encoded protein, causing some 1800 diseases. Ignoring a nonsense mutation can restore function, like saving a sentence truncated by an errant period with a stroke of white-out. The idea isn’t new – researchers discovered that bacteria can read-through nonsense mutations in the 1960s, and that certain common antibiotics, such as gentamicin, enable cells to read-through nonsense. Those drugs may provide old-fashioned (cheap) treatments for genetic diseases such as Rett syndrome
. Alas, early attempts at treating cystic fibrosis
, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy
by suppressing nonsense mutations didn’t work because the antibiotic doses necessary would be toxic.
Now Yi-Tao Yu and co-workers at the University of Rochester report in Nature
that they have invented a way to mimic antibiotic-mediated nonsense suppression. They’ve used a synthetic RNA to chemically tweak nonsense codons so that they are instead read as bona fide amino acids, in essence altering the genetic code. So far this approach, dubbed RNA modification, works in a test tube. But carefully-directed nonsense suppression holds enormous promise for correcting many genetic diseases. Stay tuned! Read More


The curriculum for The International Preparatory School is based on the National Curriculum for England and Wales, a curriculum designed to serve the needs of children in the twenty-first century and provide them with a balanced, coherent education characterized by continuity and progression. As an international school in Santiago, Chile, we believe that this curriculum serves the needs of the international community as well as that of Great Britain.
The National Curriculum seeks to develop basic skills as well as the capacity to think imaginatively and creatively. It reflects the belief that to learn effectively children need to become problem solvers, to observe and analyze situations, to interpret evidence, hypothesize, predict, to apply appropriate skills and existing experience, to learn from trial and error and to evaluate critically. It seeks to help students develop the ability to learn for themselves, to go beyond immediately available information through research and investigation.
In key stages 2 and 3, students also experience local culture and understanding through an integration of the English National Curriculum with the Chilean system, using a template developed specifically for TIPS.
The International Preparatory School inspires its students to be global citizens in a caring family environment, with individual attention, where they will be taught to think and will be given an international perspective to their education.
As a small international school, The International Preparatory School is committed to providing a friendly, supportive environment particularly well suited for children of all ages who face a series of sustained changes in their lives. The educational philosophy, approach to learning, and favorable student/teacher ratio are factors which help each child to develop as an individual with a strong sense of identity, well-being, and self-confidence.
The International Preparatory School offers education from early childhood through High School in preparation for university. From the ages of 3 to 5 children experience the Foundation Stage. From the age of five to fourteen, the National Curriculum provides a structured and assessed education through key stages 1 and 3. Between the ages of 14 and 19, students complete key stages 4 and 5 using the Cambridge Assessment International Education program, and have the opportunity to work towards a range of qualifications, including the optional examenes libres program to complete a recognized Chilean education.


While world leaders have been called on to protect children’s rights, statistics have shown that some studies conducted on children by civil society organizations are insufficient, hence state institutions should give more importance to studies on children.
165 million orphans!
The problems of the children in Turkey and in the world have been brought to attention on the occasion of the Universal Children's Day. According to statistics, there are around 25,000 children in Turkey who live in the streets. There is a rise in the cases of rape and sexual harassment against children while around 1,700 children have been kidnapped over the past five years.
There are 250 million children, aged between 5 and 14, are in child labour world wide. 283 million children, aged between 12 and 17, cannot continue school education because they work. There are 958,000 child workers in Turkey. 31, 5 percent of these children go to school while the rest of them are unable to do so.
According to 2010 figures, there are 925 million people suffering from hunger in the world. According to UNICEF, 22,000 children lose their lives every day due to poverty. There are a total of 165 million orphans in the world today due to wars or natural disasters. These children face abuse from organ mafia and other evil-intentioned organizations particularly in the least developed countries.
What can we do?
IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, which cares for 22,505 of these children across 35 countries, help these children grow up in safety either with their relatives or at the orphanages the foundation establishes in many parts of the world.
Through its Sponsor Family System, IHH brings the children who need help with volunteer families who meet these children expenses for food, education, clothing, healthcare and accommodation.
You can take part in the Sponsor Family Project by making a monthly donation of 35€ or 50$ through a year and hold the hand of an orphan. You can fill out the sponsorship form in the link below to be one of our sponsor families.

Spotting the Signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder
Does colder weather get you down? For many people, the shorter days and long, dark nights of fall and winter can lead to a mild or severe depression known as seasonal depression, or seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Anyone of any age can develop SAD, although women in their 20s are especially vulnerable. If you notice symptoms like weight gain, daytime sleepiness, increased irritability and anxiety, and social withdrawal in yourself or a loved one, it may be time to seek treatment for SAD.
Seasonal Affective Disorder Symptoms
Symptoms of SAD include:
- Weight gain. Cravings for sweet and starchy foods lead toexcess weight.
- Daytime fatigue. People with SAD are tired during the day and have less energy. They may also find themselves sleeping a lot, but getting no relief from their fatigue. “With SAD, you eat more and sleep more,” Dr. Duckworth says. “It’s hibernation-like.”
- Increased irritability and anxiety. People with SAD worry more about everyday events and can be easily irritated. They can have trouble concentrating, too.
- Social withdrawal. Those with SAD prefer to be alone; they shun the company of friends and family and do not participate in activities they normally enjoy. Often their social behavior is hard to understand.
SAD is treatable, and there are various treatment methods.
SAD: Light Therapy
“Light therapy does seem to have some effectiveness,” Duckworth says. Light therapy boxes are available that mimic the outdoors. You can buy them without a prescription, but they cost about $400 and are not covered by insurance.
The best time to use light therapy is in the morning. “You sit in front of the box in the morning before going to work and give yourself some sunshine,” Duckworth says. Light therapy typically takes about 30 minutes a day. Note: Do not try to use tanning beds as a treatment for SAD. Tanning beds use ultraviolet rays, which can be harmful to your eyes and your skin.

Good eating habits start early in your child’s life. Even during the baby & toddler years, you can start introducing your children to healthy, nutritious foods and practices.
-Offer healthy snacks to your toddler – cheese cubes, sliced banana, whole grain crackers 2-3 times per day. For preschoolers, keep your kitchen stocked with healthy snacks on their eye level – carrots, sliced apples, peanut butter, yogurt, or string cheese.
-Be patient – it may take 10-15 times of offering a food before your child will eat it.
-Give your child a choice between 2 healthy options – they will be more likely to eat it if they get to choose.
-Milk and water are the healthiest drink choices for your child at this age. Soda, juice, and sports drinks add extra calories and can be harmful to their teeth.

Health Hazards of Excess Tea Consumption
Tea is love, it’s an emotion, and it’s the best way to get out of life’s rut! Ask any tea darling and they would connect with these ardent words and how tea drives their feelings. Right from festivities to distresses, for a tea darling the main steady in this world is the adoration for tea!
This love of tea might be slowly killing you, even though these words sound so appealing.
Tea is a drug of choice for the majority of people. If we don’t start with tea, our morning seems incomplete. We have developed the habit of drinking this beverage at any time of day. Do you know that drinking too much tea can cause serious health issues? Tea should be avoided at all costs, especially during pregnancy.
Trouble In Dozing- Exorbitant utilization of tea can likewise cause rest issues. Anxiety, dark circles under the eyes, and mental stress are all symptoms of insufficient sleep. Caffeine can disrupt your sleeping patterns. The tea’s caffeine can make you sleep less well up to six hours before bedtime, affecting your overall health and well-being.
Acidity- Even on an empty stomach, many people drink tea first thing in the morning. Due to the slowed metabolism, this should not be done. Gas and irritated stomachs may result from this. Additionally, it may result in body weakness. That is the reason one ought to try not to have tea while starving.
A Danger To The Intestines- Extreme utilization of tea is likewise hurtful to the digestion tracts. Consumption of excess increases the likelihood of intestinal damage, which may result in digestive issues.
Negative Impact On Mental Health- According to a Healthline article, no more than three or four cups of tea should be consumed each day. This is due to the excessive caffeine content of tea. Reveling in caffeine can prompt antagonistic consequences for the body, for example, setting off migraines, causing muscle strain, and expanding sensations of tension. Additionally, excessive tea consumption can cause anxiety. Additionally, it may have a significant effect on your mental health.
Harmful To Pregnant Women- Consuming an excessive amount of tea may put their unborn child at risk, so pregnant women should exercise caution. Tea’s high caffeine content can cause complications like miscarriage or premature birth, so pregnant women should limit their caffeine intake.

PRECURSORS OF THE THEATER
ished on Shakespeare and the Germans, disciple of Diderot and "monkey of Jean-Jacques," as he was called, brought together these various theories, and, in formal terms set forth in his Nouvel essai sur l'Art dramatique (1773) and the Nouvel examen de la Tragédie française (1778), demanded the establishment of a people's theater, inspired by and intended for the people. He reminded his readers of the mysteries of the Middle Age; and, combining the esthetic theories of Diderot and the Shakespearians with the moral ideals of Rousseau, he asked for a "theater as broad as the universe," which should also be "a moral spectacle"; for the first duty of the dramatic poet, he says, "is to mould the morals and manners of the citizens." And, practising what he preached, he wrote historical, political, and social plays: Jean Hennuyer, évêque de Lisieux, which introduced the figure of an apostle of tolerance at the time of the Massacre of St. Bartholomew; La Mort de Louis XI, roi de France; La Destruction de la Ligue; and Philippe II, roi d'Espagne (1785).
After Mercier, other French writers have taken up the idea of a national theater, that is, a theater for the whole nation. Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, in his Treizième Étude de la Nature conjures up an ideal French Shakespeare who should give to the assembled people the great scenes of the Patrie, and suggests the subject of Jeanne d'Arc. After having traced in a rapid and declamatory style the scene of Jeanne at the stake, he says:


Morpheus prototype uses hazard detection system to land safely in dark (w/ Video)
NASA demonstrated that it can land an unmanned spacecraft on a rugged planetary surface in the pitch dark in a May 28, 2014 free-flight test of the Morpheus prototype lander and Autonomous Landing Hazard Avoidance Technology, or ALHAT.
The 98-second test began at 10:02 p.m. EDT, with the Morpheus lander launching from the ground over a flame trench and ascending more than 800 feet (244 m) into the dark Florida sky at Kennedy Space Center using only ALHAT's Hazard Detection System for guidance.
The Hazard Detection System, assisted by three light detection and ranging (lidar) sensors, located obstacles—such as rocks and craters—and safely landed on the lunar-like hazard field a quarter mile away from the NASA Center.
Project Morpheus tests NASA's ALHAT and an engine that runs on liquid oxygen and methane, which are green propellants. These new capabilities could be used in future efforts to deliver cargo to planetary surfaces. The landing facility provides the lander with the kind of field necessary for realistic testing, complete with rocks, craters and hazards to avoid. Morpheus' ALHAT payload allows it to navigate to clear landing sites amidst rocks, craters and other hazards during its descent.
Project Morpheus is being managed under the Advanced Exploration Systems, or AES, Division in NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate. The efforts in AES pioneer new approaches for rapidly developing prototype systems, demonstrating key capabilities and validating operational concepts for future human missions beyond Earth orbit.


April lecture: The Looney Map of Tipperary
We’re delighted to be hosting an extra lecture on the 25th April at 7pm in the Source Library, Thurles
Dr Catherine Porter, Head of Geography, @UL_Research will discuss the Looney Map https://digitallibrary.ul.ie/timothy-looney-papers
In 2013, the family of Timothy Looney, County Tipperary, donated his lifetime collection of archival material to the University of Limerick (UL). Now expertly catalogued and extant in Special Collections and Archives, Glucksman Library, The Timothy Looney Papers are rich with manuscript and printed material including photographs, books, documents and cartography detailing the histories of the Counties Tipperary and Cork.
Amongst the Papers is one large and intriguing linen-backed map. Drawn ‘By a Scale of two Inches in one Irish Mile’, the delicately coloured cartography depicts the Tipperary landscape at the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries. Natural features such as rivers, loughs, bogs and mountains are marked alongside the built environment and local heritage including buildings, roads and laneways. Whilst the provenance of the ‘Looney Map’ is unknown, a team at the University of Limerick has recently developed an interactive online resource to facilitate further exploration of the map. In this lecture, Dr Catherine Porter, Head of Geography, University of Limerick, will introduce the online resource and the on-going research into the cartography
Dr Porter is a Lecturer in Geography at the University of Limerick. Her research interests lie in new ways to approach and analyse early maps and texts, specifically the histories of mapping Ireland. Catherine is currently the Ireland project lead for the digital humanities project, ‘OS200: Digitally Re-mapping Ireland’s Ordnance Survey Heritage’, co-funded by the Irish Research Council and the Arts and Humanities Research Council.


Eating with all five senses: Touch and hearing
Eating is something we do many time every day and uses all five of our senses. Let’s explore the sense of touch and hearing and how they relate to eating habits.
Michigan State University professor Sungeun Cho and graduate student Ed Szczygiel believe that we use all five senses when we eat food, including listening and touching. Eating with our ears sounds somewhat funny, but when we think about our five senses, we do use our ears when we eat: we listen for the frying of fish or the crunch of potato chips. Dr. Cho believes that sound is the forgotten flavor sense and may not get the credit it deserves when we think about sensory evaluation.
Touch is an easier sense to think about when we are eating. Texture can be felt with your fingers, tongue, teeth and palate. As a baby, texture of food came to us slowly and many times babies had very soft texture foods to start with. Just imagine if all our food was the texture of baby food!
During the recent 4-H Health and Food Science Camp at MSU, students explored how both hearing and touching are related to eating. Youth had a chance to taste potato chips and determine the freshness by listening to the crunch of the chip. They also learned about alginate, which is a gel-forming agent that makes food have a jelly like texture such as gummy bears and jelly. Thanks to students were able to make alginate product and explore the gummy type consistency. They learned that you can take any liquid like pop and make it a gummy type texture.
Students in the MSU Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition are learning and researching many different areas related to food and our senses.
The Michigan 4-H Youth Development Program developed a variety of science lessons that are designed to be used in classrooms or groups. One in particular deals with sense awareness and relates to the many things youth learned about sensory science during the Michigan 4-H Health and Food Science Camp. For more information on this, see the Michigan State University Extension article, “Youth explore sensory science at MSU.”


If you thought getting a hybrid or a hydrogen vehicle was one of the greenest things you could do with your motor, think again. Apparently, you should think about not crashing. Yep, next time you fancy side-swiping someone, or sticking your car into a lamppost, think again, o selfish driver, and help the planet.
But behind this facile talk, researchers are working on just this problem – how to cut the weight of anti-crash technology and therefore make vehicles more fuel efficient, according to those folk the Guardian:
In an interview with earth2tech, General Motors vice president of the research and development centre Lawrence Burns said that one of the most significant factors in fuel efficiency for cars is the weight of safety features. If technology could produce cars that don’t crash, the weight of a 4,000lb car could be cut to as little as 1,500lb – that’s about two-thirds of a ton, in metric.
Late braking is a major cause of traffic congestion, so technology can help by giving the driver advance notice of problems. Cruise control is another factor already in use; a GM V8 engine uses double the cylinders from 65mph to 75mph. And on another efficiency point: gas engines are separate from the electrical drivetrain. That means the engine can be optimised to run at a constant speed and because there is no need for transmission, the car’s power is consistent.


rescue in the Philippines
Documentary of a hidden chapter of history
April 13, 2022 – 7:00 pm EDT
It is the late 1930s. A shadow of darkness has fallen over Germany. That shadow expands to absorb Austria and Czechoslovakia. Europe fears an imminent World War.
Faced with persecution and deportation to concentration camps, Jews desperately seek safe haven. After Kristallnacht, November 9 -10, 1938, the situation becomes even more desperate.
But in their moment of need, Europe’s Jews find few friends. The doors of the nations of the world are closed to refugees. Few are able to obtain visas. In June 1939 Canada joins the United States in refusing sanctuary to the 908 Jewish passengers aboard the M.V. Saint Louis. The ship returned to Europe. Most of the passengers would perish in the Holocaust.
But there was a beacon of light and that is the Philippines. Its President Manuel Quezon grew increasing alarmed at the events in Europe tells his countrymen it is their duty to help. Quezon sees the rising tide of antisemitism and asks the Philippines Congress to decree an Open Door policy. He asks that the Philippines issue 10,000 visas.
A Commonwealth, not yet fully independent and under American stewardship, Quezon succeeds in issuing only 1300 life saving visas to Jews from Germany, Poland, Austria, Hungary, the former Czechoslovakia, Russia, Italy, Latvia and Bulgaria – who came to be called the “Manila-ners” – and who eventually found their way to the Philippines.
Quezon’s decency and generosity launched an on-going warm friendship between the Filipino and Jewish people. The Philippines would vote in 1947 to recognize the independence of Israel and the rebirth of the Jewish state.
Yet this remarkable story is little known, a hidden chapter of history. It is a story that the public needs to know better.
On April 13 at 7 p.m. E.D.T. please join us for a special evening as we screening the documentary “Rescue in the Philippines” that takes us back to those desperate times and allows us to learn about this remarkable story.
Viewers will be greeted by Philippines Ambassador to Canada Rodolfo Robles, B’nai Brith CEO Michael Mostyn and League for Human Rights National Director Marvin Rotrand


Sometimes a little-known law can make all the difference in a legal outcome. Such is the case for Victor Willis. You may know him as the lead singer of the 1970s disco group, the Village People.
Recently, Mr. Willis was able to regain the rights to the songs he wrote after 1978, thanks to a relatively unknown law. This law went into effect in 1978 and allows artists to recover control of their creations once 35 years have passed. The law stands even if the artist originally signed their rights away. For now, the former singing policeman is still uncertain what he will do with his regained rights. He can now determine if the current Village People, who are still touring, can perform his songs.
Record companies are not happy about this law. They contest that songs should belong to the company forever. When an artist invokes these rights, it harms the record companies’ profits. In this case of Victor Willis, the record company tried to claim the artist was an employee of the company, but the “work for hire” claim was later withdrawn. This law, known as “termination rights,” may drastically change the ownership of many songs from the 70s and beyond. You can learn more about this case in this New York Times article: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/11/arts/music/a-copyright-victory-35-years-later.html?_r=0


Neptune in Primary Colors
These two NASA Hubble Space Telescope images provide views of weather on opposite hemispheres of Neptune. Taken Aug. 13, 1996, with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2, these composite images blend information from different wavelengths to bring out features of Neptune's blustery weather. The predominant blue color of the planet is a result of the absorption of red and infrared light by Neptune's methane atmosphere. Clouds elevated above most of the methane absorption appear white, while the very highest clouds tend to be yellow-red as seen in the bright feature at the top of the right-hand image. Neptune's powerful equatorial jet—where winds blow at nearly 900 mph—is centered on the dark blue belt just south of Neptune's equator. Farther south, the green belt indicates a region where the atmosphere absorbs blue light.
The images are part of a series of images made by Hubble during nine orbits spanning one 16.11-hour rotation of Neptune. The team making the observation was directed by Lawrence Sromovsky of the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Space Science and Engineering Center.
The Wide Field/Planetary Camera 2 was developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and managed by the Goddard Space Flight Center for NASA's Office of Space Science.
This image and other images and data received from the Hubble Space Telescope are posted on the World Wide Web on the Space Telescope Science Institute home page at URL http://oposite.stsci.edu/.

National Snake Day is celebrated each year on July 16th, in honor of these slithering reptiles. While some may fear or dislike snakes, they play important roles in our ecosystems and are fascinating creatures. This day is an opportunity to appreciate and learn more about them.
Snakes are found on nearly every continent and are an important part of food webs. Many are apex predators, meaning they are at the top of the food chain in their habitat. Snakes help to control rodent populations, which can spread diseases and damage crops. They also provide food for larger predators like birds of prey and big cats.
There are over 3,500 species of snakes in the world, with different sizes, colors, and adaptations. Some are venomous, while others are not. Some have long, slender bodies for climbing trees, while others have short, wide bodies for burrowing in the ground. Learning about these differences can help us understand and appreciate the diversity of the natural world.
National Snake Day is also an opportunity to challenge common myths and misconceptions about these creatures. For example, not all snakes are dangerous or aggressive towards humans. Most will avoid contact if they can, and will only strike if they feel threatened. It’s important to understand how to safely interact with snakes in their natural habitats, and what to do if bitten.
Despite their reputation, many people keep snakes as pets. These animals require specialized care and can live for several decades. Owning a snake can be a rewarding experience, but it’s important to research the species and their needs before making a commitment.
There are many ways to celebrate National Snake Day. You could visit a local zoo or nature center to see snakes up close and learn about their habits and habitats. You could also read books or watch documentaries about snakes to learn more about their diversity and behavior. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even try holding or interacting with a non-venomous snake in a safe and controlled environment.
National Snake Day is a reminder that all creatures, big and small, play important roles in our world. By learning about and appreciating snakes, we can better understand and protect the natural world around us.


Groundwater, Water quality, Mineralization, Trace elements
Ninety-nine groundwater sites were sampled in northern Arkansas in order to determine the effect of local manganese, phosphate, pyrite, lead-zinc and uranium mineralization on the groundwater chemistry. Most of this study (75 springs) was concentrated in the Batesville manganese district. Hydrogeochemical exploration for these types of manganese deposits appears possible with 44 percent of the springs within 2000 feet of mineralization having anomalous metal concentrations (especially manganese). Because only a few springs were sampled in the remaining areas, the results are not conclusive; however, only the pyrite and small lead-zinc deposit would appear worthy of additional investigation. None of the springs appeared to have geothermal water. Eighteen of the springs exceed U.S. Public Health Service drinking water limits, but most only exceed manganese or iron limits. One spring exceeded the drinking water limits for lead. Thus, these carbonate spring waters are generally of good chemical quality.

According to experts, fungal infections cause over 1.5 million deaths worldwide each year and cost billions. They also double hospitalization costs, double the length of hospital stays and double the risk of death in hospitalized patients.
“There’s a significant unmet clinical need for this kind of prevention and also treatment, particularly among immunocompromised individuals,” said Karen Norris, lead investigator on the new study and professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine.
“The patient population at risk for invasive fungal infections has increased significantly over the last several years.”
The experimental vaccine is designed to protect against the three most common fungal pathogens that are responsible for more than 80% of fatal fungal infections. The study tested the vaccine’s efficacy in four preclinical animal models, including nonhuman primates.
“Because it targets three different pathogens, the vaccine has the potential to be groundbreaking regarding invasive fungal infections,” said Norris, who is also faculty in the university’s Center for Vaccines and Immunology. “Plans are underway to develop the vaccine for a Phase I (human) safety trial.”
Fungal infections are most commonly seen in people with immune disorders, including those with uncontrolled HIV or impaired immunity from therapies like chemotherapy or anti-inflammatories.
But previous research from Norris, postdoctoral fellow Emily Rayens and the College of Public Health’s José Cordero in 2022 showed that at-risk population has expanded in recent years.
That study showed people with diabetes; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (or COPD); or co-infections such as Covid-19, tuberculosis or flu are likewise at higher risk of developing fungal infections.
The new vaccine targets the three most common causes of fungal infections: Aspergillus, Candida and Pneumocystis. Candida, in particular, is a growing concern in health care circles as different strains of the fungus become multidrug resistant.
The vaccine showed broad, cross-protective antifungal immunity in the animal models, which bodes well for future clinical trials.


On December 17th 2020, Finnish sauna culture was included in the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage. Sauna bathing is the first tradition from Finland included in this list. The decision is a great honor for the country and its citizens, who are responsible for nurturing the sauna cultural heritage in the future. “All sauna bathers can be proud of this,” states Annika Saarikko, Minister of Science and Culture.
Finnish sauna culture is an integral part of Finns' lives for their wellbeing and daily lifestyle. There are about 3.2 million saunas in Finland and almost 90% of the Finnish population saunas at least once a week. The sauna cleanses the body and mind. Throwing water on the sauna heater to create steam is at the heart of the sauna experience. Löyly, the Finnish term for steam from the sauna heater, is the sacred spirit of the Finnish sauna, and for centuries the sauna was also considered a sacred place. Families continue to pass on the tradition to new generations, as do numerous Finnish sauna associations and communities.
“The designation of sauna culture on the UNESCO list is the result of the long-term work of sauna associations. Every sauna-going Finn can take pride in the decision made by UNESCO,” says Leena Marsio, Senior Advisor at the Heritage Agency.


While biologists may be rejoicing over the recent discovery of a rare spider that was thought to be extinct, not everyone is elated -- particularly commuters around San Antonio, Texas.
Workers found the Braken Bat Cave Meshweaver (Cicurina venii) spider, which hasn't been seen in three decades, in the middle of a $15.1 million highway construction project in northwestern San Antonio. The eyeless arachnid is on the endangered species list—since construction would disrupt the spider's natural habitat, the project has been halted for the foreseeable future.
Jean Krejca, a biologist and President of Zara Environmental who was consulting on the project, made the extraordinary discovery after a downpour of rain revealed a 6-foot deep spider hole. After dissecting the spider, a taxonomist later confirmed that the distinct-looking arachnid was, in fact, the Meshweaver, named for its pattern of webbing.
The Meshweaver was placed on the federal endangered species list in 2000, along with eight other spiders found only in the Texas county. George Veni first identified the spider in 1980 in a location five miles away from the construction site.
Krejca compared the discovery to “stumbling on a new Galapagos Island in terms of the biological significance of the region."
Construction on the highway at Texas 151 and Loop 1604 began in April and biologists like Krejca were on hand to "observe and preserve" the scene, which is reportedly full of natural resources, according to Stirling J. Robertson, the Texas Department of Transportation's biology team leader.
Aside from the Meshweaver, biologists discovered 19 cave features, five of which contained other non-endangered species of spiders. However, Robertson believes the entire area may be a Meshweaver habitat.
Construction has been terminated until the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Federal Highway Administration can determine the best way to continue the project without disturbing the rare spider's habitat. Josh Donat, San Antonio District spokesman for the Texas Department of Transportation, said it is too early to tell which options are viable.

A current transformer (CT) is, in many respects, different from other transformers. The primary is connected in series with the network, which means that the primary and secondary currents are stiff and completely unaffected by the secondary burden. The currents are the prime quantities and the voltage drops are only of interest regarding exciting current and measuring cores.
One of the fundamental tests of CTs is the ratio and phase error test. Traditionally this test has been performed by injecting a current on the high voltage side and measured the secondary current. However, with modern test equipment it is possible to make this test from the secondary side of the CT. The advantage is that the test equipment is smaller and lighter since it requires less power.
Low-power current transformers (LPCTs)
The most common sensors for medium voltage applications use low-power passive current transformers. These do not contain any active interior electronics, thus not requiring any additional power supply, and set reliable and highly accurate devices with a broad dynamic range of measurements. The best technology for current measurement, given its size and wide range of measured current, is the Rogowski coil technology.
A Rogowski coil is a toroidal coil, without an iron core, placed around the primary conductor which can either be part of the sensor or be represented by other equipment (e.g., medium voltage cable or bus bar). The output signal of a Rogowski coil is a voltage that is then processed and integrated by the connected intelligent electronic devices. The requirements of low-power current transformers (LPCT) were firstly described in the standard IEC 60044-8, released in 2002, which has been progressively replaced by a new set of standards under IEC 61869 standard family. The new standard IEC 61869-10 covers the LPCTs without active electronics.
CTs its circuits diagnosis
Ratio/phase analysis; an assessment of the CT’s accuracy
Saturation test; identification of core type; protection or meter
Residual magnetisation/demagnetisation; a test to determine the level of residual magnetism in the CT and to demagnetize
Winding resistance; used for calculations of saturation voltage and accuracy with specific burden
CT burden test; ensures that burden is within the CT’s VA limits


This large genus includes both hardy annuals and perennials that are variously known as pansies, violets, Johnny-Jump-Up, and Heartsease. Continue reading below for some tips on how to grow pansies and Violas.
Viola tricolor, V. x wittrockiana, V. odorata
Timing can be tricky, depending on the variety. Johnny Jump-Ups are very easy.
Season & Zone
Exposure: Full sun to partial shade
Start indoors 10-12 weeks before planting out. For spring planting after last frost, that means up to 3 months growing time indoors. Otherwise, sow direct outdoors in summer to early autumn. For winter-flowering pansies in Zones 7-9, start seeds in mid to late June. For V. odorata: Direct sow in autumn or early spring. This variety benefits from a long exposure to cool soil.
Even though the seeds are tiny, they need to be sown 5mm (¼”) deep. Keep the soil at 18-25°C (65-75°F), in complete darkness until they germinate in around 14 days. Then provide bright light to keep plants compact. Space at 15-23cm (6-9″) in the garden. For V. odorata: Barely cover the tiny seeds. Sow in flats sunk into the ground against a north-facing wall, and cover with glass or plastic. Remove cover when seedlings emerge. Germination can take up to 50 days, so be patient.
After germination, violas are easy. Fertilize once or twice in early growth and provide a mulch around plants to keep roots cool as weather warms. Deadhead to prevent self-sowing, particularly with Johnny-Jump-Ups.
For V. odorata: Transplant after last frost or in the autumn where winters are mild, spacing at 15-30cm (6-12”) apart. Grow in partial shade, or in full sun where summers are cool. This variety prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5-7.0. Add well-rotted manure at transplant time.


Amsterdam: biogas as backup energy for electrical systems
How can urban waste biomass back up intermittent renewable electricity in cities? And how does biogas fit into this context? Wageningen University, in the Netherlands, has carried out a study on the city of Amsterdam which found that when there is a high potential for renewable energy (wind and solar), there is also a greater demand for backup capacity, which biogas can satisfy.

After almost countries access into the globalization, tourism has become a vital sector that impacts in the development of any nation’s economy, and it also bring many benefits to people. With this essay, I will discuss more detailed about this industry.
To begin with, people are interested in exploring beautiful places both domestic and abroad which is to enhance quality of life for travelers and locals. Moreover, traveling is the way of helping people to broaden of thinking if they wish to live in a certain place for a long time. Besides, travelers can be attributed to the educational value it provides to whoever wanted to gain experiences pick up the culture of other countries during their trips. Furthermore, tourism gives the opportunity of diversion which is good for lazing, from that people enliven and take back the highly productiveness in the workplace and in their daily activities.
Besides, many benefits of tourism are brought about society. Firstly, it provides many job opportunities for both locals and foreigners to support their basic needs. And tourism can help economy successfully by encouraging more tourists, that means more profits to the host. With that, this industry highly contributes their income to the growth of economy not mention to taxes, cash flows. Moreover, traveling supports other fields to develop consistently such as souvenir and many more which tourists brings home with them when they return home. Furthermore, once tourism reduce the quantity of travelers affects the increasing industries sometimes the entire of economy, for example, covid19 pandemic spreads around the world, the tourism revenues financial systems decreases gradually.
Overall, tourism is very important to both society and individuals which affect people’s lives and contribute to other field’s development consistently.

The means for residents to develop the kind of modern business system, marketing expertise, management skills and sales ability that commercial education affords are not widely available. Local supplementary programmes to upgrade public education (such as vocational trade classes, remedial courses, work-studies, secondary school equivalent programmes and community college extension courses) are administered through minimum budgets, thus providing only a limited coverage of training possibilities; they give no promise for new engagement or employment possibilities. Varied geographical coverage, funding sources and small class attendance create gaps in programme content and continuity. Many courses exclude informal apprenticeship opportunities and are unable to provide mastery in a practical field of work; and most overlook the need training in building construction and maintenance, farm management and entrepreneurial skills. Few youth are able to go to regional or state training centres, and many of those who do soon leave the local community for more lucrative markets, thus depleting it of its trained workers.
In the USA in 1993 the public school system was recognized to be in crisis. Public schools were increasingly considered inefficient and costly. In many cities parents considered themselves obliged to send their children to fee-paying schools, if they could afford it. The cumulative effect is the concentration of children of the less wealthy, especially minorities, in underfunded, inefficient and ineffective schools.


Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) said in a statement on October 19 that the electricity company has built a building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) power plant using the company's roof area of 13,723 square meters, which is about the size of two football fields. KHNP now has solar power plants with a total capacity of some 60 megawatts. Small-sized solar power plants were installed into idle spaces at KHNP's hydroelectric power plants and ground-based solar power plants. The state electricity provider will increase its total generation capacity to up to 100 megawatts by 2025.
"We will continue to build renewable power plants such as solar and wind power plants in regions that have no burden of environmental damage and social costs," Chung Jae-hoon, president of the KHNP, was quoted as saying.
South Korea has focused on turning various infrastructures into environmentally-friendly power generation venues to make the country greener and save space. Seoul City is offering subsidies to support building and house owners who wish to install solar power panels on the rooftops and walls. In January 2021, a 12 kilowatt-hour-class solar power plant was also built on Olympic-daero, an eight-lane expressway that interconnects southern districts in Seoul. The expressway opened in 1986 was left without being used after it slightly changed its course.
Hanwha Q Cells, the solar cell-making wing of South Korea's Hanwha Group, is leading a 96 billion won ($86 million) project to build 60 megawatt-class solar power facilities on factory roofs and idle spaces in the southern industrial city of Pohang by partnering with Korea East-West Power, a state power generation company.

Lets say you hear a tip that X company is coming out with a brand new product that is supposed to double their business. You think to yourself, “I wish I owned that company!” Well you can!
X company, along with other companies, lets the public buy part of its company. It does this through selling shares. A share or stock is simply a piece of paper that says you own part of a company.
This part is usually extremely small, perhaps thousandths of a percent of the total company, but, hey, it is a beginning!
You decide you want to buy part of X. You count up all of your money and find out that you have Y amount.
Well you are not going to be able to buy the whole company …
But it is a start!
You’ve got the money, you know what stock you want to buy, now what? Do you go to the grocery store and ask for a dozen shares of X? Not exactly, but close. You don’t go to a grocery store, but rather you call a stockbroker.
A brokerage house is your supermarket of stocks! You call up a stockbroker and tell him that you have the Y amount and want to buy as much of X as you can.
The stockbroker in return tells you the listed price of X and that for your Y amount you can buy 50 shares of the X company. You then give to the stockbroker the money, and you get the shares.
Bingo! You have just bought stock in a company!
Sounds simple enough, right?
Actually it is not if you look at it from the stockbroker’s point of view.
When you told the stockbroker you wanted those 50 shares of the X company, he did not magically buy them for you. Rather, he sent a message to the Stock Exchange to buy these shares for you.
Now this message is entered in the process and it buys your the 50 shares.
Then a report is issued back at the brokerage house that bought the shares. The stockbroker keeps a record that you own that stock, rather than sending you the actual paper stock certificates.
If you ever want to sell them, your stockbroker will sell them, deduct his commission, and then give you the money.


Since cerrado fires may impede the growth of seedlings into trees, they may shape the population of woody species. In this study, we assessed the effects of a severe fire on the population structure and spatial distribution of Zanthoxylum rhoifolium, a widespread cerrado tree. We were interested to know the importance of the resprouting and sexual reproduction in regenerating the population. The study area had been for about six years protected from fire, before a severe fire at the end of the dry season in 2006. We sampled and measured all individuals of Z. rhoifolium found in 80 plots of 25 m². We found 149 individuals before the fire and 112 after the fire, of which 77 were resprouts from burned seedlings and saplings. We did not find significant differences between the population structure before and after the fire. The spatial distribution of the population remained clumped after the fire. Thus, the Z. rhoifolium population was very resilient to a severe fire. We did not find any new seedlings. As a consequence, resprouting seems to be more important than sexual reproduction in promptly regenerating the Z. rhoifolium populations.

Investigations by lawyers are an essential element of most litigation.
Lawyers investigate the parties and the facts underlying the case through the use of third-party investigators, online searches, obtaining public records, seeking the production of electronic communications, including text messages, and much more. Also, lawyers sometimes need to investigate their own clients – to assure themselves of the veracity of certain representations or when the lawyer suspects the client may be actively misleading the lawyer.
These investigations are not without risk. Ethics rules limit what lawyers can do and say, and how the work product of these investigations may be used.
This program provides a practical guide to ethical issues when lawyers conduct investigations.
- Duty of an attorney to investigate a case before filing a lawsuit
- "Pre-texting" – the ethics of deception in investigations
- Ethical issues when a lawyer investigates a client – and when it is ethically required
- Conflicts of interest in investigations
- Ethical issues in social media and online searches – and obtaining text messages
- Use of third-party investigators
- Limitations on investigating members of a jury or jury pool
- When investigations go awry – discipline, sanctions, exclusion of evidence obtained


Challenges and Potential of Anaerobic Digestion from Municipal and Agricultural Organic Waste in Ethiopia
Main Article Content
Poor solid waste management is a global issue that causes vast environmental, social, and financial costs to societies. Considering waste as a potential resource, both materially and energetically, will contribute towards reducing residual waste and represent direct support to developing a circular economy. The challenges and potentials of organic waste in Ethiopia and other East African countries have been examined in the "Guideline for organic waste treatment in East Africa" project by the German Biomass Research Center (DBFZ). With a waste generation of 6.63 million tons per year, of which 55-80 percent is organic waste, Ethiopia has excellent potential for valorizing organic waste. Anaerobic digestion can be one integral part of this systematic approach. This paper aims to overview the challenges and potentials of using anaerobic digestion for treating MSW and agricultural residues from a macro-perspective. The methodology is based on a systematic literature review, meta-analysis, and expert interviews. MSW has a potential of 161 to 385 million m3 year-1 of methane. As one example for the
agricultural sector, coffee byproducts have a potential of 68 million m3 year-1. Technical and economic restrictions in logistics and processing technologies pose the most significant challenges in utilizing this potential.


In “Why do humans reason? Arguments for an argumentative theory,” Hugo Merciera and Dan Sperbera argue (loaded word, that!) for a theory about how argument evolved:
Reasoning is generally seen as a means to improve knowledge and make better decisions. However, much evidence shows that reasoning often leads to epistemic distortions and poor decisions. This suggests that the function of reasoning should be rethought.
Our hypothesis is that the function of reasoning is argumentative. It is to devise and evaluate arguments intended to persuade. Reasoning so conceived is adaptive given the exceptional dependence of humans on communication and their vulnerability to misinformation. A wide range of evidence in the psychology of reasoning and decision making can be reinterpreted and better explained in the light of this hypothesis. Poor performance in standard reasoning tasks is explained by the lack of argumentative context.
When the same problems are placed in a proper argumentative setting, people turn out to be skilled arguers. Skilled arguers, however, are not after the truth but after arguments supporting their views. This explains the notorious confirmation bias.
This bias is apparent not only when people are actually arguing, but also when they are reasoning proactively from the perspective of having to defend their opinions. Reasoning so motivated can distort evaluations and attitudes and allow erroneous beliefs to persist. Proactively used reasoning also favors decisions that are easy to justify but not necessarily better.
In all these instances traditionally described as failures or flaws, reasoning does exactly what can be expected of an argumentative device: Look for arguments that support a given conclusion, and, ceteris paribus, favor conclusions for which arguments can be found.
– Behavioral and Brain Sciences (2011) 34, 57 –111
Interesting approach. The problem with this approach is that one must already be a reasoning being to see any value in accessing such strategies. Animals don’t pay much attention to arguments from reason, nor do small children. Of course, the children hopefully grow up to be people who can see the value, but that is not evolution in action, rather, the unfolding of an existing architecture.

In application software v6.0 and later, the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) replaces the 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). STP is pretty slow at recovering from a failure in the network. RSTP was created to decrease this recovery time.
When a switch is running RSTP, a port can change from blocking to forwarding more quickly than when the switch is running STP. This decrease in transition time makes it possible for RSTP to recover more quickly from failures in the network.
In STP, a port that is blocking must change to listening and then learning before it can change to forwarding. Normally, a port remains in the listening state for 15 seconds and in the learning state for 15 seconds. With these two 15-second delays, a port normally takes 30 seconds to change from blocking to forwarding. This 30-second transition time results in a 30-second loss of traffic, which is not acceptable in many of today’s networks.

History[ edit ] Middle Ages to Confederation [ edit ] Sex work in historically German lands has never been outlawed and has been described since the Middle Ages. Some municipalities actively encouraged it and far from existing on the margins, sex workers were often honoured guests, who maintained domestic order as an outlet and lesser evil to such things as adultery and rape.
Emperor Sigismund — thanked the city of Konstanz in writing for providing some 1, workers for the Council of Constance which took place from to The so-called Bremer Regulations of stated that prostitution was "not a trade in the true sense".
By this distinction between prostitution and other trades, immorality of prostitution was defined in law. While sex work was tolerated as a necessary function to provide for male sexuality outside of marriage, it was frowned on as a threat to contemporary moral images of women's sexuality. Therefore, state policy concentrated on regulation rather than abolition. This was mainly at the municipal level. The Criminal Code of prohibited brothels and "commercial fornication". In the version, however, prostitution was only punishable if the woman worked outside police supervision.
Controls were particularly tight in the port city of Hamburg. The regulations included defining the dress and conduct of prostitutes both inside and outside the brothel, thus making the occupation define their lives as a separate class of women on the margins of society.
At the beginning of the 20th century, prostitution was considered "harmful to communities". It is estimated that in there were 50, women working in Berlin  population December 1, 1,, Weimar Republic — [ edit ] In Weimar-era Germany the economy collapsed due to the loss of the First World War and the imposition of war reparations at the Treaty of Versailles. As a result, the middle class lost their savings and the working class were unemployed. The Republic ended up printing money to pay its bills which lead to hyperinflation in The outcome of all of this was that women, including the millions of war widows, turned to prostitution.


Vertical Disparity, Egocentric Distance and Stereoscopic Depth Constancy: A New Interpretation
There has long been a problem concerning the presence in the visual cortex of binocularly activated cells that are selective for vertical stimulus disparities because it is generally believed that only horizontal disparities contribute to stereoscopic depth perception. The accepted view is that stereoscopic depth estimates are only relative to the fixation point and that independent information from an extraretinal source is needed to scale for absolute or egocentric distance. Recently, however, theoretical computations have shown that egocentric distance can be estimated directly from vertical disparities without recourse to extraretinal sources. There has been little impetus to follow up these computations with experimental observations, because the vertical disparities that normally occur between the images in the two eyes have always been regarded as being too small to be of significance for visual perception and because experiments have consistently shown that our conscious appreciation of egocentric distance is rather crude and unreliable. Nevertheless, the veridicality of stereoscopic depth constancy indicates that accurate distance information is available to the visual system and that the information about egocentric distance and horizontal disparity are processed together so as to continually recalibrate the horizontal disparity values for different absolute distances. Computations show that the recalibration can be based directly on vertical disparities without the need for any intervening estimates of absolute distance. This may partly explain the relative crudity of our conscious appreciation of egocentric distance. From published data it has been possible to calculate the magnitude of the vertical disparities that the human visual system must be able to discriminate in order for depth constancy to have the observed level of veridicality From published data on the induced effect it has also been possible to calculate the threshold values for the detection of vertical disparities by the visual system. These threshold values are smaller than those needed to provide for the recalibration of the horizontal disparities in the interests of veridical depth constancy An outline is given of the known properties of the binocularly activated cells in the striate cortex that are able to discriminate and assess the vertical disparities. Experiments are proposed that should validate, or otherwise, the concepts put forward in this paper.

The Megger BT51 Milliohmmeter takes measurements by passing a current through two terminals on the conductor as well as monitoring the voltage across it. This measurement is ratiometric, meaning it is unaffected by current variations. The BT51 uses the four-terminal method of measurement. The main advantage of this method is that the resistance of the test leads is not included in the measurement, which is important when the resistance is very low.
This meter has a 3 1/2 digit LED display to facilitate use in low light levels. Two LEDs on the front panel indicate battery condition and whether the test current is flowing when a measurement is being made. A red warning light indicates the presence of a dangerous voltage if the test leads are accidentally placed across a live circuit. This warning takes place whether or not the instrument has been switched on.

suppose both dimensions increase by 20%. What's the percent increase in
the amount of light admitted? and no.. it's not 40%.
Solution. The original is 1.2m by 0.8m, so the area is . If both dimensions increase ...
This shows how to determine percent increase and decrease in area


Elmer Wachtel (1864-1929) was an American painter who lived and worked in Southern California. He was known for his impressionist landscapes.
Wachtel was born in Baltimore, Maryland on January 21, 1864. He moved to California in 1882 to live subsequently his brother, who was in action in San Gabriel. Wachtel worked as a ranch hand and as a furniture gathering clerk even though saving child maintenance to attend art school. He as a consequence worked as a violinist, playing for the Philharmonic Orchestra of Los Angeles. Wachtel was largely self-taught as a painter. He studied at the Art Students' League in New York for two months and then future at the Lambeth School of Art in London. Wachtel married sculptor Marion Kavanagh in 1904; the two lived in the Arroyo Seco region of Los Angeles. Wachtel was known for painting California's landscapes, rather than European landscapes. On August 31, 1929, Wachtel died rapidly while upon a painting trip in Guadalajara, Mexico.
During World War I, Wachtel became an informant for the U.S. Department of Justice by reporting to federal ham it up authorities alleged pro-German and antiwar statements by open-minded socialists and fellow artists.

Reservoirs, Water quality, Nutrients, Phytoplankton
The research protocol was designed to compare three reservoirs with similar physical environments but different morphometry. Three reservoirs on the western edge of the Ozark uplift were selected because of their similar substrate and climatic condition. The reservoirs primarily differed in morphometry. Two of the reservoirs were of identical size, Bob Kidd and Prairie Groves Lakes, but of different configuration, semicircular and linear, respectively. The bifurcated lake, Lincoln Lake, was of smaller size. Each lake is dimictic. Each of the lakes were nitrate-N limited while soluble reactive phosphorus-P is available and not restricting the growth of phytoplankton. Although the pattern of nutrient utilization was similar among the nutrient concentrations varied. Phytoplankton succession was alike in each reservoir but differed in quantity.

community reinvestment act, community based organization, credit, enforcement, low income communities
The Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) represents a continuing, affirmative obligation on banks to meet the credit needs of their communities — including low and moderate income neighborhoods — by providing appropriate credit products and deposit services. Federal regulators have been hesitant to enforce the CRA aggressively, and community based organizations (“CBO’s”) have taken the lead in using the CRA to improve bank lending in low and moderate income communities. A combination of recent legislation and social developments ensure an increase in the CBO’s CRA enforcement activity. This Guide’s purpose is twofold. The first is to catalogue and analyze the decisions, policy statements, testimony, and regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Board”) regarding the CRA, in an attempt to describe the Board’s CRA enforcement standards. The second purpose is to provide a framework for a CBO to follow when seeking to use the CRA to increase the amount of credit available in its community.
