What is Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis (or MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision.
The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS vary among individuals and are unpredictable. today, new treatments and advances in research are giving new hope to people who are affected by the disease.
MS is thought to be an autoimmune disease. The body’s own defense system attacks myelin, the fatty substance that surrounds and protects the nerve fibers of the brain, optic nerves, and spinal cord (the central nervous system).

What is the Meaning of Poppies?
The Remembrance Poppy
The common field poppy has come to be a remembrance to us in commemorating military personnel who have passed away.
How? They were inspired by the World War I poem “In Flanders Fields”. The poem was written by Canadian physician, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae and the opening lines refer to the first poppies that grow in the freshly churned earth of soldiers’ graves.
After World War 1 the poppy was adopted in parts of the British Empire by military veterans’ groups.
Today they are used in various countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand where they commemorate servicemen and women who have died. Many people wear small artificial poppies on their clothing during the days leading up to Remembrance Day and poppy wreathes are laid at war memorials.

WWF offered a new instrument for the protection of the Arctic
World Wildlife Fund (WWF) presented the ArcNet project – a program on the protection of Arctic seas.
It is a map of priority areas of the Arctic Ocean with specific proposals for the conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity.
ArcNet should help protect the inhabitants of the northern seas in the context of the changing climate and active human development of the Arctic. The map covers the entire Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas.
“Of course, the total prohibition of any economic activity in any of these areas is out of the question.” It is necessary to develop the Arctic seas with a clear-cut and forward-looking planning, taking into account the opinions of different stakeholders,” said Dmitry Gorshkov, Director of WWF-Russia.
According to the press service of the environmental organization, the work on the project was conducted over four years. The effort brought together five national WWF offices (Canada, Denmark, Norway, Russia, and the USA), the experts of the Arctic Programme of the Fund, and more than 30 scientists worldwide, most of whom are Russian specialists.
The result was a map depicting a network of priority Arctic Ocean areas, where the “interests” of each species, community, or local ecosystem are taken into account.
The results of the machine analysis were repeatedly checked, discussed, and adjusted by experts from all of the Arctic countries. Such an approach allows to say that the project is based on the best available data and thorough scientific analysis, WWF-Russia stressed.
It was noted that the ArcNet data have a broad sphere of application. First of all, they are essential for those involved in marine planning and management. Therefore, the authors appeal to all interested parties – governments of the Arctic countries, representatives of science, business, and local communities – to actively join the dialogue and contribute to the implementation of ArcNet.Tags: Arctic, Sea, WWF


It is believed that Maharishi Patanjali was the avatar of Adi Shesha - the Infinite Cosmic Serpent upon whom Lord Vishnu rests. He is considered to be the compiler of the Yoga Sutras, along with being the author of a commentary on Panini's Ashtadhyayi, known as Mahabhasya. He is also supposed to be the writer of a work on the ancient Indian medicine system, Ayurveda. Read on this biography further to know more about Maharishi Patanjali and his philosophy. It is said that once, while watching a dance by Lord Shiva, Adi Shesha found it unbearable to support the weight of Lord Vishnu. Amazed at this, he asked Lord Vishnu the reason for the same. Lord Vishnu said that this was because of his harmony with Lord Shiva's energy state, owing to the practice of Yoga. Realizing the value and benefits of Yoga, Adi Shesha decided to be born amongst humans as 'Patanjali', to teach them the great art. Yoga Sutras are considered to serve as the basis of the yogic techniques. Maharishi Patanjali, "The Father of Yoga", compiled 195 sutras, which serve as a framework for integrating Yoga into the daily routine and leading an ethical life. The exact date of the compilation of the Yoga Sutras is not known. However, it is believed that they were written somewhere around 200 BC. The core of Patanjali's teachings lies in the eightfold path of yoga. The path shows the way to live a better life through yoga.


Jovi and Myself went to a Different Part of that Lake we went to the other Day, for and Adventure to Richardson Marina Area
Jovi Really wanted to Jump in the Water but the Lake in this Area had Blue Green Algae Bacteria in the Water and Can Cause Damage to Jovi or Other Animals and Even Humans
Jovi was a Little Un Happy that he Could Not Go Swimming, but I Think he Kind of Knew why Dad was Keeping him out of the Water, he Got Close Enough to Look, Just Look!!
So We Decided to Go Search and Explore the Grassy Field Areas, Since the Water was Contaminated
Information about Blue Green Algae…
How does blue-green algae affect livestock and pets?
Although lakes are often a good source of drinking water for livestock and pets, lakes contaminated with blue-green algae can be deadly if algae toxins are present. Some illnesses and deaths of livestock and wildlife have been linked to animals drinking water containing blue-green algae. Keep animals away from natural water sources that contain algal blooms because animals aren’t concerned about how water looks or smells before they drink it. Don’t let animals eat whole fish or trimmings (any waste from filleting a fish including the head, bones, intestines, or skin) from affected lakes.
If you have contact (e.g., swimming, boating) with water containing blue green algae, it can cause:
- skin irritation and rash
- sore throat
- sore, red eyes
- swelling of the lips
- hay fever symptoms (e.g., stuffy nose)
If you drink water with blue-green algae, it can cause:
- liver damage
- fever (temperature over 38.5 °C or 101.3 °F)
- nausea and vomiting
- muscle and joint pain
- cramps in the abdomen
Nice post, with very good tips about the algea. Jovi can swim another day
Yes Jovi can swim another day, I added the info because I dont think some are aware of that, thanks for the visit Peter and the comment

The South African Science LensTM exhibition is a collection of photographs that capture the science behind the beauty in our universe and the beauty we discover through scientific investigation. Many of the photographers are researchers or science students across numerous disciplines including biology, chemistry, physics, geology and astronomy. Others are amateur or professional photographers from all walks of life that are interested in the scientific world. This collection of images has been produced with cameras, microscopes and telescopes using various techniques. The photographs are entered into the biennial SA Science LensTM competition, an initiative of the South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement, a business unit of the National Research Foundation. The competition has been running since 2002 and consists of four different categories: Science as Art, Science Close-Up, Science in Action, and a category that changes with each competition to reflect a particular theme relevant at the time. The images from this competition are as varied as they are beautiful: some look like abstract paintings, and others like peaceful landscapes – but all are as valuable to science as they are to art. This visual poster presentation will provide a feature of the SA Science LensTM competition over many years and a walk through time of a well-established science communication initiative.

Your core values are the things that are important to you, they influence how you live your life.
Your financial values are what motivates the various decisions you make around your money. They guide your spending. When I create a budget, I am basing it off my values. This is what’s known as value-based budgeting.
Understand Your Values
To understand your financial values, start by looking back to your early childhood memories around money. What money beliefs were you taught as a child? A lot of times our childhood memories will influence our spending habits and our relationship with money. That’s why it’s so important to help your children to build good financial habits from an early age. Look back to my previous post on teaching financial literacy to children to get more information on this. Recognise any bad habits you may have around money, were they created in your childhood? What was your parents’ relationship with money like, were they spenders or savers? Did your family struggle financially when you were growing up? Did you have a dependable person you could go to for financial assistance growing up or did you always have to rely on yourself? All these experiences impact your relationship with money.
When creating a value-based budget, you’re not just looking at the figures you need for your regular outgoings, you are also examining and prioritising what it is you enjoy spending your money doing. By examining your values and spending, you can see where changes need to be made.
Make Sure Your Spending is In Line With Your Original Intention
You may value quality time with family as your number one priority and arrange to do something each month to spend extra time together. Be mindful when arranging your family outings that you meet your goal of quality time together. The original intention is to spend quality time with family, and this can be done in many ways, not just expensive outings.
It is good to be aware of this because you may also regard financial security to be important. Financial security involves having savings to provide protection for you and your family in times of unexpected financial expenses. If you are spending too much on family outings, then it can end up being impossible to save.
Being mindful of this will ensure you are spending on what you value most – which is time with family – and have money left over to save for those unexpected financial outlays that may pop up.

What is a Slot?
A slot is a depression or aperture, used for receiving or letting a piece slide into it. The word slot is of late 14th century origin and comes from Old French esclot. It also has Old Norse roots, such as slod. The word is recorded first in the 1520s, and its meaning as a machine is from 1888. This article explains what a slot is and why it is so popular today.
In hockey, the slot is the area between the face-off circles, which is where a goaltender is positioned. It also refers to the fourth position of a flying display. The term has two senses: the low slot is the area in front of the goaltender, and the high slot is the area in the middle of the ice, above the faceoff circles. The low slot is often referred to as the scoring area, but it’s also used to refer to the ice between the face-off circles.
The payout frequency can be easily configured. Manufacturers of slot machines have the ability to adjust this setting with a computer program. Players should consider this feature when selecting a machine. This feature allows players to set the odds in a way that maximizes their chances of winning. It is essential to be aware of the rules and regulations of a slot machine before deciding to play it. This article explains what slot machine strategies are and how to improve your chances of winning.


Inspiration for parents/learners/fellow teachers
Some inspiration for the day -
One of the reasons I enjoy teaching children is the extraordinary amount of creativity required to bring music learning to life in a fun and enjoyable way. This article is full of ideas by Barbara Balatelo to help children repeat tasks endlessly - the certain path to mastery.
One key point in this next article is the difference between learning and mastery. Recently in Singapore, there has been a keen interest in Japanese artistry - from enjoying the almost transcendental nature of a fine omakase meal, to appreciating the perfection of Japanese furniture design. I think it is no coincidence that the Suzuki method (created by Japanese Musician Shinichi Suzuki) emphasizes mastery of the instrument.
These are Shinichi Suzuki's thoughts on the four steps to mastery, from the article written by Lucy Shaw. https://suzukiassociation.org/news/back-to-basics-what-every-teacher-wants-you-2/
"We actually get to practice performing the steps to mastery. There are four steps to mastery.
Level one is to learn and memorize notes, rhythms, fingerings and bowings. Often times parents think “Wow, we are done” and so may children, but there is so much more. That is just the first level.
The next level (note by me: REVIEW) we continue to develop our notes and fingerings and rhythms and bowings, but we also add tone and intonation, dynamics, bow distribution or any special techniques the piece requires.
At level three, we continue to develop these and add style and phrasing and ensemble skills.
At level four, what we do is practice all of these skills in performance situations, not just once, but many times."


Narcolepsy, also known as Gelineau syndrome, named after the French physician (1828-1906) who described it for the first time, is a sleep disorder characterised by daytime sleepiness and an uncontrollable compulsion to sleep.
The clinical picture may include other symptoms:
Cataplexy attacks, or the sudden and momentary loss of muscle tone (often associated with strong emotion), are characteristic of type I narcolepsy
Hallucinations essentially occurring on falling asleep, sleep paralysis
The inability to move or speak for a few seconds or minutes on falling asleep or waking up,
A tendency towards obesity
Narcolepsy is a rare disease that affects one in 2,500 people in Europe. It generally arises in adolescence, but a large proportion of patients remain undiagnosed and thus untreated, despite the very disabling nature of the disease.
In the first instance, its diagnosis is based on an assessment of sleepiness, often measured using the Epworth sleepiness scale, and, in the case of type I narcolepsy, the very revealing presence of cataplexy attacks.
Type I narcolepsy is the most common form, and it appears to be brought on by the destruction (often in childhood) of a group of hypothalamic neurons that secrete a small stimulating peptide called hypocretin or orexin.
Several tests allow the diagnosis to be confirmed: polysomnography (a recording of the phases of sleep), which shows abnormal direct transitions from wakefulness to paradoxical sleep, the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) which finds a mean sleep latency of less than 8 minutes, or even cerebrospinal fluid analysis, which may find low orexin levels.
Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder in which the borderline between wakefulness and paradoxical sleep is abnormal.
Paradoxical sleep is a sleep phase discovered by Michel Jouvet in 1959, which is characterised by a loss of muscle tone, that is, a complete relaxation of muscles and numerous intense dreams.
Over the course of a physiological night’s sleep, paradoxical sleep is generally preceded by slow light sleep or deep sleep. Patients suffering from narcolepsy fall directly into paradoxical sleep without transitioning through slow sleep.


Corporate governance is the process of ensuring that a organization is maintained in ways that maximize shareholder value and minimize toxins, risks, corruption and mismanagement. This really is accomplished through a combination of regulations, rules and regulations and also practices, procedures and processes that assure transparency and accountability to shareholders.
The field of corporate governance emerged inside the 1930s, nevertheless the modern practice of governing a company business is still changing. As a result, there isn’t one set of best practices that will be perfect for all general public companies.
Even so, there are a number of key fads that impression corporate governance. In addition to the improved emphasis on diversity and environmental issues, companies are also going through rapid changes in the nature of work. The emergence of distant and crossbreed working plans features opened the corporate talent pool area to a a comprehensive portfolio of candidates who may not live within commuting distance of a company’s hq. In response, boards are trying to find to conform corporate governance structures and processes to reflect these types of changes in the work environment.
In some cases, this has meant changing the way boards evaluate their own effectiveness. Traditionally, these types of evaluations have been self-evaluations by table members and chairmen. An alternative approach is usually to engage a completely independent third party to create and perform a comprehensive evaluation of the complete board.
One more trend hitting corporate governance is the increased focus on governance practices that promote a company’s sociable and personal values. This has led to the emergence of activist hedge funds that target particular companies and try to affect their panel decisions. It has also presented rise see post to plaintiffs’ attorneys exactly who look for any kind of hiccup in stock cost or funds as a chance arranging litigation against a company.


School choice: A case study analysis of an urban private non-sectarian school and state-funded vouchers
The purpose of this study was to examine Harambee Community School, a private, non-sectarian elementary school involved in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program. The study sought: (1) to describe the historical roots of Harambee Community School; (2) to identify the founding identity, vision, and mission of Harambee Community School; and (3) to describe the impact of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program on the identity, vision, and mission of Harambee Community School. The researcher gathered information via interviews, questionnaires, and analysis of documentary data. Data analysis revealed that Harambee Community School evolved from St. Elizabeth's Parish School which originated in 1901 in the City of Milwaukee. Harambee's founding identity focused upon the values of Kwanzaa. In addition, the concepts of holistic student development, pride, self-motivation, educational excellence, and leadership were key. Founding vision centered upon preparing inner city students for responsible positions in the work force. Allowing parents to be active partners in the educational and character formation of their children was also important. Founding mission had two pervasive philosophical benchmarks: (1) that cultural identity and pride were important aspects of all programs, and (2) that basic questions of values, human dignity, and happiness were explored and interwoven through the entire curricula. Conclusions were as follows: (1) no evidence was discovered to indicate a change in the identity, vision, and mission of Harambee Community School as a result of being involved with the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program; (2) the inclusion of school choice did have an impact upon Harambee. School choice caused an increase in budget, students, staff, curricular offerings, and a re-emphasis of Black consciousness; and (3) the inclusion of school choice uncovered the need for an improved communication procedure to convey Harambee's cultural beliefs to staff, students, and families.

Founded back in 1865, historic Freedmen’s Town located in Houston’s Fourth Ward is the city’s first, and largest Black settlement.
Those working to preserve the community say it’s been an uphill battle but there is progress being made in helping to maintain and restore it.
“My family was part of the planners and developers of Freedmen’s town,” said Gladys House-El.
Like her roots, the passion House-El has for Freedmen’s town runs deep. She still lives in her ancestors’ home.
“This house dates back to the 1800′s when my family, the Felders sold blocks of ice out of the house, you know, family-owned business,” she said.
House-El’s ancestors were among the pioneers, many of who were freed slaves that settled here after Juneteenth and built their own schools, homes, and churches.
“Freedmen, it also meant, well look, we are buying our own land. Nobody giving us anything, so nobody gave us anything, we are freed from that,” she said.
The bricks that lined the streets of Freedmen’s town were made in the community and were laid by people from the community.
Today, dependents say it’s a struggle to keep the roads in their original form.
In the gentrifying neighborhood, preventing demolition of the classic row houses have also been a struggle.
“We have only about 40, 50 structures left that are historic when originally there were 500 in this district,” said Zion Escobar who is the Executive Director of the Houston Freedmen’s Town Conservancy.
Like House-El, her mission is to keep this part of Houston’s history from being erased.
“What’s being discussed at city hall right now you heard, ‘Freedmen’s Town, Freedmen’s Town, Independence Heights, Freedmen’s town,’ many many times during council yesterday because everybody recognizes that this place is special.
The ordinance to create Conservation Districts in Houston is being considered by city council right now. If it passes it would enable Freedmen’s town residents to choose to become a conservation district, which could offer more protections that will preserve crucial parts of this community for years to come.

The National Head Start Impact Study is a longitudinal study that involves approximately 5,000 three and four year old preschool children across 84 nationally representative grantee/delegate agencies in communities where there are more eligible children and families than can be served by the program. The children participating were randomly assigned to either a treatment group (which had access to Head Start services) or a comparison group (which did not have access to Head Start services, but could receive other community resources). Data collection began in the fall of 2002 and ended in spring 2006, following children through the spring of their first grade year. It includes in-person interviews with parents; in-person child assessments; direct observations of the quality of different early childhood care settings; and teacher ratings of children. Data collection includes the following: Individual child data in the areas related to school readiness, such as physical well-being and motor development, social and emotional development, approaches to learning, language usage and emerging literacy, cognition and general knowledge; Information pertaining to parenting practices, family resources and risk factors, demographic and socio-economic data, and family structure; Information on structure, process, and quality of Head Start, child care, and school settings through first grade; and, Community level data relating to the availability and means of formal and informal family support services. Third Grade Follow-up In 2006, DHHS awarded another contract to Westat and its colleagues (Chesapeake Research Associates, Abt Associates, American Institutes for Research, the University of Virginia Center for the Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning, AMSAQ) to follow the Head Start Impact Study children and their families through spring of their third grade year. This follow-up will examine the following questions: What is the impact of Head Start on children's well-being, and on parental practices that contribute to children's well-being, through their third grade year? For whom and under what circumstances does Head Start have its greatest impact?

The health of our hair and scalp can be a major tip-off to a variety of issues. But can bad habits make hair thinning possible? The answer to that is yes. Genetics determine if hair loss is simply a predisposition, but there are certain bad habits and lifestyle choices that we make that could be causing it to look and feel thinner.
Not shampooing often
Skipping shampoo for periods of time will weaken the hair. If you don’t wash your hair regularly the build-up of sedum, product and dead skin cells can clog the follicles making it difficult for new hair to grow.
Crash dieting will bring your waistline down but it can also cause hair thinning. Your hair needs consistent nourishment and if you starve it, it will begin to shed. One of the main symptoms of anorexia is hair loss.
Rough on wet hair
Wet hair is very fragile. After getting out of the shower, pool or bath gently pat with a towel. Vigorous rubbing will break the strands of your hair and can damage the follicles.
Too much sun
It’s not just your skin that can be damaged by the UV rays of the sun; your hair is at risk too. Prolonged exposure, 60+ minutes in UV light weakens the hair, which can cause hair loss, so cover up with a hat or a scarf when you are out in the sun.
Not blow drying upside down
Flip your head upside down, when you blow dry, and it will give your hair a lot more volume. Drying the regular way up can flatten the hair against your scalp and make it look a lot thinner than it really is. Always use the cool setting when dry hair. Hot air can damage your follicles and cause hair thinning.

In today’s fast-paced business environment, collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams are essential for teams to work together effectively. However, with the ease of use and flexibility that Microsoft Teams provides, there is a risk that sensitive data could fall into the wrong hands. In this blog, we’ll discuss the importance of locking down Microsoft Teams to protect your organization’s data.
What are data asylums?
Data asylums refer to situations where data is not effectively managed, leaving it in a state where it is not properly secured, accessible, or usable. This can occur when data is spread across various platforms and not properly organized, leading to issues with data governance and compliance.
The importance of locking down Microsoft Teams
To prevent data asylums in Microsoft Teams, it is important to lock down the platform. This means controlling user access, establishing policies and procedures, and implementing security measures to prevent data leakage.
Controlling user access
Controlling user access is essential to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data. By limiting external access, setting up user roles and permissions, and monitoring user activity, organizations can reduce the risk of data leakage.
Policies and procedures
Establishing policies and procedures to govern the use of Microsoft Teams is critical to ensure that data is properly managed and protected. This includes creating policies around data retention, data classification, and data sharing.
Finally, security measures such as encryption, multi-factor authentication, and regular security audits are essential to protect data in Microsoft Teams. By implementing these measures, organizations can reduce the risk of data breaches and data loss.
In conclusion, Microsoft Teams is a powerful collaboration tool that can greatly benefit organizations. However, to prevent data asylums and ensure the proper management of sensitive data, it is essential to lock down the platform. By controlling user access, establishing policies and procedures, and implementing security measures, organizations can reduce the risk of data breaches and protect their sensitive data.


Pursed Lip Breathing has been found to be very helpful for people having Obstructive Lung Disease like Asthma, Obstructive Sleep Apnea etc.
Step 1: Sit comfortably with your body relaxed and spine neutral.
Step 2: Inhale from your nostrils.
Step 3: While pressing your lips softly against each other, create a little opening in between your lips and exhale slowly as if you are trying to blow out a candle.
Step 4: Check the ratio of your respiration. Mentally, if you are doing 2 counts of inhalation, try to make it 4 counts of exhalation. However, allow it to happen naturally and not with force. The aim is to double the exhalation.
Step 5: Once you are comfortable with the above practice, try and further lengthen your exhalation.
Step 6: Adding resistance helps better recovery. You can do so slowly and gradually by pulling in your abdominal muscles in during exhalation. Basically, you are creating a pattern where abdominal pull is helping you release air from the mouth gradually for a longer stretch of time.
- You can start with 5 rounds. Slowly graduate to 10.
- You can practice twice or thrice a day.
For Respiratory Problem (Asthma, Bronchitis, COPD, Obstructive Sleep Apnea)
- This practice does improve ventilation of the lungs.
- The air gets trapped in the lungs in case of asthma patients. This practice helps release the trapped air.
- Longer exhalation activates parasympathetic nervous system and relaxes you.
- Longer exhalation helps empty the stale air from the lungs thereby allowing new air to enter the lungs. It also makes the inhalation, that follows, better.
Ease of Practice
Can be practiced anytime and anywhere
- Do not practice after a heavy meal
- Do not force inhalation & exhalation. Maintain a natural rhythm
- One diagnosed with COPD should not breath too deeply


Creole: A contested, polysemous term
© 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. In this paper, we critically examine the polysemous term, creole, used at different times and various geographical areas to describe diverse identities, languages, peoples, ethnicities, racial heritages, and cultural artefacts. Our objective is twofold: (1) to describe the historically contested nature of the term and its connection to broader trends in defining race in the United States and (2) to suggest that a deeper understanding of racially situated terms such as creole can help to highlight the contextualized character of racial/ethnic divisions, trends, and labels. Our analysis shows that in many ways the Creole people of the United States Gulf Coast Region truly represent the “melting pot” mantra in espoused American ideology and exemplify a direct challenge to bygone racial ideologues which espoused the idea that mixing produces hybridized, impudent, weak, and sickly offspring.

- Visualize critical watershed information
- Identify threats to watershed health
- Screen for sustainable natural infrastructure solutions
Water is critical for economic development around the world—from the parched farmlands of eastern Africa, to growing cities across India and Brazil that rely on hydropower for reliable electricity, to communities in the western United States that continue to grapple with water scarcity and catastrophic wildfires. Intensifying water stress demands a new paradigm for water resources management that prioritizes holistic and integrated solutions. At the center of such an approach is natural infrastructure.
Natural infrastructure uses landscape management strategies like restoration, conservation and sustainable management to provide essential services like clean and abundant water supply, aquifer recharge and flood control. WRI is dedicated to scaling up these smart and cost-effective strategies, which support rural communities while also enabling sustainable development in an increasingly urbanizing world. We leverage WRI’s geospatial mapping like Global Forest Watch and economic expertise to track water risks; unveil natural infrastructure opportunities; and inform, finance, and scale smart strategies to secure water resources.
Through our projects spanning across North and South America, Africa, and Asia, we convene and empower champions at all levels of decision-making. We provide the cutting-edge data and best practice guidance to put natural infrastructure into action. We steward collective learning through extensive networks of water utility managers, conservationists, businesses, financial institutions and governments united behind a common goal: to enhance water security and bolster economic development through landscape restoration and conservation.


Important Rules for Working with MySQL with Data Protection Enhancements.
Do not store passwords in original form in your database table.
If the security of your computer breaks, the intruder can access your MySQL data and use them. Usually, hashing functions are used to protect the password by storing hash value, but AES 256 bit encryption is a much better option to encrypt the data.
MySQL port must not be accessible from untrusted hosts.
The default port 3306 is used by MySQL, and this port must not be accessible from untrusted hosts.
Do not use any data from input without filtering.
It's required to escape special characters in a string for use in an SQL statement; this is used to make SQL query safe. Otherwise, an intruder can try the trick to get access to your database by using a special sequence of characters in your application form or URL.
Protect only string data values is a very common mistake.
It's required to examine numeric data as well just like string. If your application generates a query such as SELECT * FROM users WHERE UserID=330 and you are getting 330 value from URL, then it's much possible intruder can change the value and add 330 OR 1=1 to cause the application to generate the query SELECT * FROM users WHERE UserID=330 OR 1=1. As a result, it will retrieve every row in the table.
To avoid this kind of attack a straightforward way is to add a single quotation around the numeric constants such as SELECT * FROM users WHERE UserID='330'.
MySQL administrative user must be different from application user.
Application level user access privileges must be different from an administrative level user. Do not give any privileges to users they do not require.
Do not provide access to MySQL user table to another user except root user.
MySQL user table has data of all users and permissions of MySQL; only root user has permission to access of this table. Otherwise, data can be misused by swapping permissions and password with other users data.
Do not transmit data in the original form on the Internet.
Unencrypted information is accessible to everyone who can access it, and encrypted protocol such as SSL or SSH protects data from unauthorized access.

Research base for Lowland Hydrology in Michalovce
Head of the base: Ing. Milan Gomboš, PhD.
Research Hydrological Base in Michalovce was established in 1986 as a branch office of the Institute of Hydrology and Hydraulics, Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS), which was later renamed to the Institute of Hydrology SAS. The original purpose of the base was to quantify the impacts of anthropogenic activities on the water regime of lowland areas. Since the establishment of the base, the research has been performed in the Eastern Slovakian Lowland (ESL). In the last century, complex water-management works were built throughout the lowland such as reservoirs, polders, dikes and drainage and irrigation systems. Gradually, the Research Hydrological Base in Michalovce has focused on examining the hydrological processes in unsaturated zone of heavy soils. Nowadays, ESL is considered to be a natural laboratory for examining hydrological processes which occur in unsaturated zone, within the system atmosphere – plant cover – unsaturated zone – groundwater.
Main work activities:
Research of the main components of the water balance in unsaturated zone of soil.
- Quantification of the interactions within the system atmosphere – plant cover – unsaturated zone – groundwater.
- Extremes of hydrological processes in soil.
Quantification of soil water regime elements in space and time.
- Unique characteristics of heavy soils water regime – conditions for creation and termination of a two-domain soil
structure, change of hydrodynamics of a two-domain soil structure.
- The processes of creation, duration and termination of soil drought in lowland areas.
- Application of the state-of-the-art methods to examine soil water regime such as laser diffraction for defining soil texture and restoration of lysimetric research in Slovakia in order to quantify evaporation and other elements of soil water regime.
- Assessment of the impacts of ongoing climate change on the water storage in the 3rd water source – unsaturated soil zone.

Osgood-Schlatter disease happens when the quadricep tendon repetitively pulls on the patella and patellar tendon that attaches to the growth plate of the shinbone.
This condition is one of the most common causes of knee pain in children and adolescents that are in a growth spurt and around the age of puberty. In most cases, these individuals also participate in sports that involve jumping and running. The repetitive activities create increased pulling on the bone where the patellar tendon attaches. This is the location of a growth plate, where bone growth occurs.
Also, Check- https://panthersportsmedicine.com/blog/iliotibial-band-syndrome/
Rapid growth in children and adolescents makes their muscles and bones more vulnerable to repetitive pulling. This can cause irritation and tear of the patellar tendon which creates pain and swelling in the area. With increased severity, the tendon can pull some bone away and more bone will be laid down, causing a boney bump below the kneecap.
Signs and Symptoms
- Pain that worsens with activity
- Rest relieves pain
- Swelling and tenderness over the upper shinbone, just under the knee
- Limping after exercise or activities
- Muscle tightness around the knee (hamstrings, quadriceps, and calf muscle)
- Boney bump below the kneecap
How can it be treated by a Physiotherapist?
A physiotherapist will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if you are presenting with Osgood-Schlatter’s Disease. They can help reduce pain and inflammation by giving advice on activity modifications and providing active treatment. Treatment may include therapeutic modalities, manual therapy, and a comprehensive exercise program. When appropriate, your physiotherapist may choose to incorporate ice, therapeutic ultrasound, taping, stretching, and strengthening to manage this condition.
It is important to have your condition evaluated by a physiotherapist so they can determine the appropriate course of treatment.
As this is in part an inflammatory condition, it could be appropriate to visit your family doctor who may prescribe an anti-inflammatory medication to help alleviate pain. They may also consider ordering an x-ray to better visualize the boney changes that may have occurred.


Colorless, odorless, and poisonous, carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the six major air pollutants regulated in the United States (and by other nations around the world, as well). CO is created when carbon-based fuels, like fossil fuels or wood, don’t burn completely or efficiently.
NASA-funded scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) have recently put together an analysis of four years of CO measurements from the MOPITT sensor (Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere) on NASA’s Terra satellite. The images above show the seasonal global record of amounts and geographic sources of CO from March 2000 through February 2004. Blue areas have little or no atmospheric CO, while progressively higher levels are show in green, yellow, orange, and red.
High levels of carbon monoxide pollution are found around the world, and they result from different types of burning in different locations. In the United States, 77 percent of carbon monoxide emissions come from transportation sources. In other countries, the high levels of CO are linked to widespread fire activity, such as agricultural burning in central Africa in January through March, or in Central America in April through June.
Carbon monoxide molecules can last from a few weeks to several months in the atmosphere, and they travel long distances, without regard for national or international boundaries. They affect air quality in regions far from the original source; in January through March, carbon monoxide levels are in the red zone—more than 200 parts per billion—across much of the Northern Hemisphere, even way up into the Arctic, and out over the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, far from any large source of emissions.

1908 Cobalt Ontario Canada humorous music and cat postcard
Postcard with musical notes and words 'This place don’t seem like home to me'. Below that is a velvet cat glued to card, walking on a fence.
Sent from Cobalt, which at the time was part of a silver mining rush.
Postmarked ‘COBALT JUN 17 08 ONT’ on 1 cent King Edward VII stamp, mailed to Golden Valley Ontario, with receiving postmark ‘GOLDEN VALLEY JUN 21---'. Golden Valley is very small place located south of Lake Nipissing in Northern Ontario.
Letter to Miss Ellie Moore.
Corner creases where mounted in album. Toning & smudges front and back.
The Cobalt silver rush started in 1903 when huge veins of silver were discovered by workers on the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway (T&NO) near the Mile 103 post. By 1905 a full-scale silver rush was underway, and the town of Cobalt, Ontario sprang up to serve as its hub. By 1908 Cobalt produced 9% of the world's silver, and in 1911 produced 31,507,791 ounces of silver. However, the good ore ran out fairly rapidly, and most of the mines were closed by the 1930s. There were several small revivals over the years, notably in World War II and again in the 1950s, but both petered out and today there is no active mining in the area. In total, the Cobalt area mines produced 460 million ounces of silver.

Report by: Bruce Wiseman
An ingenious piece of mechanism individually made by Holm Miehlbradt.
TOTAL STORY !! — You had to be here to understand what was being demonstrated.
See if you can work it out from the photos taken by Ross Johnson.
This was an unexpected demonstration of an engineer’s determination to make a complicated piece of design concept to produce a machine that will produce repetitive patterns of a circular character on wood, plastic, or other similar substances.
Holm using MDF for the main frame and lathe head, a compound slide to carry the tool holder and cutter head, together with a powerful electric spindle motor and sundry pulleys, sheaves and rubber band type drive belts created this amazing piece of wizardry known as a Rose Engine.
With the lathe head rocking back and forward to the pattern of the Rosette pattern and the cutter driven by the spindle motor, all controlled by a pair of hand wheels, the product was produced.
Comment:- You need to have a lot of time to make and use a ROSE ENGINE.
Well done Holm!

OS grid reference approx NZ 935 010. In the late summer of 2003 during the the devastating fires that destroyed up to two-and-a-half kilometers of Fylingdales Moor to the south-west of Ravesnscar, north Yorkshire Moors, a round-shaped flat piece of stone was uncovered by archaeologists from English Heritage bearing strange shapes and lines. This stone has been referred to as The Map Stone or The Fire Stone for obvious reasons. Today a cast of this curious stone can be seen in Whitby Museum. The actual site of the find is ‘protected’ and now covered over again with heather and grass, but it is ‘roughly’ just north of the A171 near Flask Inn which is 6 miles north-west of Ravenscar. [Please keep to the designated footpaths across the moor]. At the time of the moorland excavations many other artefacts were uncovered including a smaller stone that has tiny hollows or cup-marks carved onto it.
The carved stone with its strange map-like patterns, zig-zags or chevrons and linear lines is now considered to date back to the Neolithic period some 4,000-5,000 years ago, according to English Heritage archaeologists, though some historians place it in the Bronze-Age? It was found underneath the burnt heather and turf set within a low ring of boulders forming a cairn, and next to it was a smaller piece of stone with cup-marks. The thinking at the time was that the stone, which was originally larger, was a sort of map of the area showing tribal settlements, mountains and other features, but it is now thought by archaeologists to be a funery grave-cover with depictions of the after-life. The stones were recorded and photographed in situ and then the turf and heather re-laid to protect the artefacts from further erosion. In all some 2,400 artefacts and other sites were found exposed in the area of devastation (up from a previously-known 150) – ranging from Mesolithic flints, 185 carved stones, ancient trackways, watercourses from the local alum industry, to slit trenches from World War II.

The Role of History in Shaping the Present
As your conversation English tutor, I believe it is crucial to explore the profound role of history in shaping our present. History goes beyond the mere occurrence of events; it influences our contemporary society in various ways, including how it is taught, remembered, and interpreted. In this lesson, we will delve into the significance of history as a catalyst for shaping the world we live in today.
Historical Events and their Impact
To gain a comprehensive understanding of the role of history, we will begin by examining key historical examples and their lasting impact on contemporary society. We will explore how events such as colonialism, slavery, and world wars have shaped power dynamics, social structures, and global inequalities. By analyzing these historical events, we can identify their far-reaching consequences and recognize their continued influence on the present.
Perspectives on Teaching and Remembering History
Our exploration will continue with a discussion on different perspectives regarding how history should be taught and remembered. We will critically examine various approaches to historical education, considering the significance of teaching multiple perspectives, challenging dominant narratives, and addressing historical injustices. By engaging in this dialogue, we will highlight the importance of diverse interpretations and understandings of history in shaping a more inclusive and nuanced society.
Inclusive Narratives and Diverse Perspectives
Another crucial aspect we will explore is the exclusion of certain groups from traditional historical narratives. We will examine the significance of including diverse perspectives and experiences in historical accounts, considering the concept of “people’s history” as an alternative to top-down narratives. By embracing multiple voices and perspectives, we can enrich our understanding of the past and foster a more comprehensive appreciation of historical events.
Learning from the Past for a Better Future
Throughout our discussions, we will encourage critical thinking about the impact of history on the present and the lessons we can learn to create a better future. By analyzing historical events, considering diverse perspectives, and challenging dominant narratives, we can gain insights into how historical knowledge can inform our decisions and actions in the present. Through this exploration, we aim to inspire a sense of responsibility and agency, empowering individuals to contribute to a more inclusive and just society.Show more +


According to the World Tourism Organization (UN-WTO) one of the goals that can provoke a tourist is traveling for health.
Health tourism, a type of tourism that takes place for a period of more than 24 hours and less than one year in order to maintain, improve and regain the physical and mental health of a person. Factors such as changes in consumer values, changes in construction, population aging, and the need for health services can be considered as the main drivers of the emergence of health tourism. The combination of these factors has led health tourism to become one of the growing types of tourism. The vast potential of our country in various types of health tourism has led the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization to take advantage of this growing and competitive market through the establishment of the Tourism Health Committee to give special support.
Traveling people from their permanent place of residence to maintain, improve or regain their physical and mental health for more than 24 hours and less than one year of health tourism.
Types of health tourism:
- Wellness Tourism
Traveling to health villages and areas with mineral springs and hot water (spa) to escape the stresses of daily living and rejuvenation without medical intervention and supervision, and in cases where the tourist does not have a definite physical illness, they say health tourism.
- Curative Tourism
Traveling to health tourism is meant to be used to treat natural diseases (mineral water, salt, sludge, etc.) for the treatment of certain diseases or for the management of recovery, and medical interventions.
- Medical Tourism
Travel is called medical tourism in order to treat physical illnesses or perform some kind of surgical operations under the supervision of doctors in hospitals and medical centers. In this type of health tourism, the patient may require therapeutic tourism spatial facilities (such as spas) after treatment and treatment.

The mode of operation of a computer tomograph (CT) is based on conventional
X-ray technology. The radiation generated by an X-ray tube penetrates the component to be component to be inspected and is then measured by a detector, attenuated to varying degrees depending on the material and structure.
measured by a detector, depending on the material and structure. Even geometries and structures inside the geometries and structures inside the component that are inaccessible to other measurement methods. A three-dimensional image requires several X-ray images of the same object taken from different different directions. In contrast to medical imaging, an industrial industrial CT, the object to be examined is usually moved. On a turntable between the X-ray tube and the detector, it rotates around its own axis,
while several images are taken. This is used to calculate a high-resolution 3D model which shows not only the outer geometries, but also the inner structures. structures. The areas of application are manifold. For example, a CT is a very useful tool in the process of reverse engineering as well as in the creation of initial sample inspection reports according to drawing specifications. Industrial computed tomography is also ideally suited for non-destructive material testing or for measuring sensitive, soft or transparent materials.


Parents are always looking for something to do to fill the time during summer vacation, why not bring your kiddos into the garden this year?
The sooner someone gets into the habit of getting busy in the garden, the better! Plus, we all know gardening is easier with some help from another person. Getting your kids in on the fun of working in the garden will create memories that will last a lifetime and hands on experience that will give them greater appreciation for the world around them. Besides, what better biology lab is there than your own backyard?
One great way to get growing is from the seed, it is also a great way to explain the plant life cycle to your kids. Some “easy” seeds to start with include sunflower, lettuce, cress, runner beans, and sweet peas. Using seed tape for a plant like lettuce makes it even easier, that way you don’t have to think about spacing. Cress grows quickly and is a great way for your little ones to see their hard work pay off!
Kids should be allowed to help as much as possible! The more hands on they can get, the better! Even allowing the child to have “their own plant” that they are in charge of can be a great inspiration for them to come back to the garden and pay special care to their seedlings. Do your best to explain what is happening in terms of the plant life cycle to your child. If you need help, there are plenty of resources for teachers online that you can take advantage of. If you are working with a little one who like to put everything in their mouth, be sure to check if any of your garden plants are toxic to ingest and certainly avoid cacti! Regularly prune your plants and clean up any fallen leaves or fruits to avoid choking. Also think about what fertilizer you are using and if it is safe for the little ones to be near.
Besides staying safe, the garden can be a great place for the children in your life to learn and for a lack of better words, grow!


Strong alternating magnetic fields can be used to generate a new type of spin wave that was previously just theoretically predicted. This was achieved for the first time by a team of physicists from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU). They report on their work in Nature Communications and provide the first microscopic images of these spin waves.
The basic idea of spintronics is to use a special property of electrons—spin—for various electronic applications such as data and information technology. The spin is the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons that produces a magnetic moment. Coupling these magnetic moments creates the magnetism that could ultimately be used in information processing. When these coupled magnetic moments are locally excited by a magnetic field pulse, this dynamic can spread like waves throughout the material. These are referred to as spin waves or magnons.
A special type of those waves is at the heart of the work of the physicists from Halle. Normally, the non-linear excitation of magnons produces integers of the output frequency—1,000 megahertz becomes 2,000 or 3,000, for example.
“So far, it was only theoretically predicted that non-linear processes can generate spin waves at higher half-integer multiples of the excitation frequency,” explains Professor Georg Woltersdorf from the Institute of Physics at MLU. The team has now been able to show experimentally which conditions are needed in order to generate these waves and to control their phase. Phase is the state of the oscillation of a wave at a certain point and time. “We are the first to to confirm these excitations in experiments and have even been able to map them,” says Woltersdorf.
According to the physicist, the waves can be generated in two stable phase states which means this discovery could potentially be used in data processing applications, since computers, for example, also use a binary system.

Marrence MaghuyopJuly 26, 2010 2HMID LITERATURE: CRITIC PAPER The story of Romeo and Juliet focuses on romantic love, specifically on the intense passion and affection that blooms in the first sight of Romeo (Montague) and Juliet (Capulet). Unlike other love stories that begins with a fairytale concept and ends with “happily ever after”, the story portrays the pros and cons of being deeply in love. It combines the images of love, religion, family, society, violence and death which lead to its tragic conclusion.

In the story, the author (William Shakespeare) used themes such as love, violence and death. It was expressed and developed with the use of different literary devices. Also, there are symbols and representations in the story that shows different ideas and concepts. Generally, aside from the way the story is made and the style or writing the author used, the message and the story as a whole is very much appealing.
It had an impact not just on us, but to all its readers/viewers around the world. It has emotional appeal because of the love and affection that both Romeo and Juliet have for each other and Intellectual appeal because of the way the author made and wrote the story, also because of his different styles and symbols used that makes the readers/viewers think and analyze the whole idea or concept of a specific scene.
Obviously, the story of Romeo and Juliet has touched the hearts of many people. Regardless if it is being read or watched as a play or move, it made a certain connection with its readers/viewers because of the different message and ideas it portrayed, and also because of its interesting characters which are creatively made and represented in the story. The story is very popular and proved that it is not just timely, but as a matter of fact timeless.

We all learn differently and we all have strengths and weaknesses in terms of our learning processes. There are also many different explanations for why students do not achieve at a level that is expected. For some students it’s about motivation. For other students it can also be a function of difficulties with speech, language processing, auditory and visual processing, written expression, emotional/behavioral factors, as well as overall intelligence.
The earlier these learning challenges are identified, the sooner children can receive help to improve and/or compensate for these difficulties. When early identification does not occur, these problems tend to get worse as does the child’s attitude towards school. In some cases, these challenges are identified in preschool and, through proper remediation, addressed. In many cases these challenges become more apparent in elementary school. For the child’s academic success as well as positive sense of self, it is important to identify and attempt remediate these difficulties as early as possible. Children spend most of their waking hours in school and if they experience a high degree of failure, the damage to their self-esteem can be significant. This is why early intervention is key.
If you suspect that your child is having difficulties in school, the right place to start is with their classroom teacher. Request an opportunity to meet with the teacher and discuss your concerns and get their feedback as well. In addition, the teacher may recommend additional services within the school. In some cases additional evaluations by school specialists may be necessary. A private evaluation by a licensed psychologist is another option. Through the use of psychological, academic, speech/language and learning processing testing, it is possible to get a more detailed and clear picture of a child’s strengths and weakness relative to other children of the same age. Depending on the severity of the areas of weakness additional services at the school may be available.
If your gut tells you that your child is not learning as he or she should be, seek out the guidance of school staff and make your concerns known. The longer you wait the more difficult it will be for your child to get back on track.


When Isabelle Maxwell Bowman Allen Bean was born on 15 November 1822, in Bethel, Oxford, Maine, United States, her father, Justus Bean, was 32 and her mother, Sally Rummery, was 25. She married Sylvanus Mason on 15 December 1849. They were the parents of at least 3 sons. She lived in Maine, United States in 1870. She died on 26 February 1910, in Bethel, Oxford, Maine, United States, at the age of 87, and was buried in Bethel, Oxford, Maine, United States.
English: nickname for a pleasant person, from Middle English bēne ‘friendly, amiable’.
English: metonymic occupational name for a grower or seller of beans, from Middle English bene ‘bean’ (Old English bēan ‘beans’, a collective singular). The broad bean, Vicia faba, was a staple food in Europe in the Middle Ages. The green bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, came from South America and was not introduced to Europe until the late 16th century. The word bene was commonly used to denote something of little worth, and occasionally it may have been applied as a nickname for someone considered insignificant.
English: possibly a habitational or topographic name. Redmonds, Dictionary of Yorkshire Surnames, cites Adam del Bene of Harrogate (1351) as evidence to suggest that in the Harrogate area, where the Yorkshire name later proliferated, it may have been derived from a place where beans grew.

Role of diaphragm in posture
The diaphragm is a key muscle in the respiratory system, playing a crucial role in breathing. However, it also has an important role in posture. The diaphragm is attached to the ribcage, spine, and pelvis, and its activation can influence the position of these structures.
Proper diaphragm function and activation can help maintain optimal posture, while dysfunction can lead to poor posture and associated symptoms. When the diaphragm contracts during inhalation, it descends and pushes down on the abdominal contents, resulting in a simultaneous upward movement of the ribcage. This upward movement creates an extension force on the spine, helping to maintain an upright posture.
Additionally, the diaphragm is connected to the pelvic floor, and its activation can help maintain pelvic stability. When the diaphragm contracts, it pulls the pelvic floor upward, helping to maintain the alignment of the pelvis and spine. Dysfunction of the diaphragm can lead to poor posture, including a slumped posture, rounded shoulders, and forward head posture. This can result in associated symptoms such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches. c
Physiotherapy can be a valuable treatment option for diaphragm dysfunction and associated posture problems. It can include breathing exercises, postural training, and muscle strengthening to restore proper diaphragm function and improve posture. In conclusion, the diaphragm plays a crucial role in posture, maintaining the alignment of the ribcage, spine, and pelvis.
Proper diaphragm function is essential for maintaining optimal posture and preventing associated symptoms. Physiotherapy can be an effective treatment option for diaphragm dysfunction, helping to restore proper function and improve posture. It is essential to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms related to posture, as early intervention can prevent complications and improve outcomes.


A few decades ago, women with lupus were advised not to become pregnant, since the disease is associated with pregnancy complications.
Today, a better understanding of lupus and new ways to treat potential complications have helped improve the odds of having a successful pregnancy. The percentage of pregnancies with complications is now less than 50 percent and research continues to explore new ways to treat the condition and counter possible complications.
When women with lupus become pregnant it is characterized as a high risk pregnancy, since the disease is associated with a higher incidence of miscarriage, pre-term delivery and preeclampsia. Miscarriage ends at least 10 percent of such pregnancies, while one in five women report complications associated with high blood pressure, including pre-eclampsia. There is also a greater incidence of diabetes and urinary tract infections, primarily in women who take steroids to treat the disease.
Complications are more likely if the woman has a history of certain conditions, including hypertension, kidney disease, previous pre-eclampsia and blood clots.
Lupus is not associated with any difficulty in becoming pregnant but the odds of having a healthy pregnancy may be improved by waiting for the right timing. The best time to become pregnant is when lupus is in remission. The healthier a woman is before conceiving the more likely she is to have a healthy pregnancy. Women who conceive at least six months after the disease is under control are less likely to have a flare during pregnancy.
It’s a good idea to visit a health care provider early in a pregnancy to determine which lupus medications must be discontinued during pregnancy and which are considered safe to use.
Expectant mothers with lupus benefit from consistent medical care, ideally seeing both a rheumatologist and an obstetrician specializing in high risk pregnancies. Seeing a rheumatologist once every trimester is recommended. In general prenatal care visits will be more frequent and may be more involved, with monthly blood and liver function tests as well as a urine analysis.
Even if a woman is healthy when she becomes pregnant, the surge in hormones associated with pregnancy can occasionally cause a lupus flare up. To prevent a flare up women are advised to get plenty of rest, avoid stress, sun exposure, alcohol, cigarettes and recreational drugs. Reporting symptoms to a healthcare provider as soon as possible is an essential part of controlling a flare up.


Philosophers' Reviews of
Possible Worlds: An Introduction to
Logic and Its Philosophy
by Raymond Bradley and Norman Swartz
This is a new introduction to logic for university undergraduates in
their first and second years. The originality of the approach will also
make it of considerable interest to postgraduates and professional
logicians. Important advances in modal logic and in possible-world
semantics have usually found no place in introductory university texts.
Indeed, most accounts are inaccessible to the average philosopher, let
alone the student. As modal techniques are of considerable importance in
the philosophy of language, epistemology, the philosophy of mind, moral
philosophy, legal philosophy and philosophy of science, this book may be
expected to take its place as the standard introduction to its subject.
"Two of this book's many virtues which impressed me most are the use of talk about possible worlds, an idiom that lends itself marvellously to an exposition of the nature and techniques of logic, and the inclusion of an account of the philosophy of logic in tandem with a presentation of the elements and operations of logic."
— JOSIAH B. GOULD,SUNY at Albany
"Overall rating . This innovative presentation of an important, difficult subject is especially well-suited for a second year logic course. It is impressively comprehensive, clear and well-organized, but above all, it is the kind of textbook that grips the reader's mind and imagination and does not let go."
— CHARLES T.R. ADAMS, Central Florida Community College


Context always comes first.
We humans really want to demonize things. We like to point out a scapegoat with statements such as “you are doing it wrong”, “you are doing it right”, “this substance makes you fat” and “this substance makes you sick”. Ultimately, it is always about context, because there is never 1 variable that causes something (not) to happen.
Develop a critical thinking ability
What we, as trainers, find very important is the development of a critical thinking ability in every trainer, whereby a distinction can be made within the context. You learn to ask the right questions in order to make the right choice from different fields such as physiology, anatomy and psychology. All these disciplines influence each other. In addition, each person is constructed differently and you must therefore also be able to make nuance differences. When you train a group of 12 people, you may have to teach the squat differently to one person than to the other person.
No wrong choices, but wrong applications
There are no right or wrong exercises and methods, but the wrong application of them. Just think of fabrics. A distinction is made between toxic and non-toxic substances, but there are no toxic substances. What does exist are toxic doses. Context is always more important than general tidbits.

‘Daddy’ a poem by Sylvia Plath the speaker uses metaphors to introduce the evil figure Daddy; and the relationship between her and Daddy. Some of the key images in the poem that aides the audience to understanding the poem is are the symbols of evil describing her father. These images in the poem are show how the father treated the author so vile that she has begun to compare him to “evil” symbols in the world. Later in the poem the speaker introduces a new character, her husband, who has similar characteristics like her father. The pattern in the poem is coherent because the reader sees the two instances that lead to her exacting revenge against her father and husband. I believe that the feelings the author was trying to convey in this poem is feelings of pain, anger and grief. Line 54 of the poem “But no less a devil for that….” is a great example of these emotions. The overall meaning of the poem is that the author hated her father but found a man just like him, so she left them both in her past and now it feels like she is finally free from them both.

Three instrument systems were successfully deployed at Duck NC during the ONR-sponsored SANDYDUCK experiment. A cross shore pressure array and manometer system were used to study wave transformation as waves break across the barred beach, and the resulting setdown and setup on the mean cross-shore water levels. Detailed sand morphology measurements were being made on 5cm to 10m scales using an array of eight acoustic altimeters mounted on the Army Corps of Enginners CRAB vehicle, to extend the large scale morpholgy measurements made by the CRAB each day. These sediment morphology surveys across the 1km cross-shore by 2km longshore study area were made in conjunction with detailed morphology and bottom boundary layer measurements made from an instrumented sled which was moved from beyond the offshore bar to the beach face each day. The sled also measured the vertical structure of the water column to study the mean velocity structure responding to breaking waves, bottom stress, and wind forcing, and the depth of influence of turbulence generated by breaking waves. Bottom stress, dissipation and sediment suspension processes were studied with the Bistatic Coherent Doppler Velocimeter which measured cm scale three component velocity and sediment concentration profiles from the bed to a height of 60cm.

Research suggests a link between early-life secondhand smoke exposure and the development of food allergies.
“There is compelling evidence to suggest that exposure to secondhand smoke could increase an individual’s risk of becoming sensitized to a food. In other words, developing antibodies against a food,” says Laura Feldman a researcher at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children.
Feldman visited Stockholm, Sweden to analyze data that researchers had conducted there. In her work, she looked at 3,760 infants from a birth cohort study from 1994 to 1996. The study followed the children until they were 16 year old. Parents had been asked detailed questions about their smoking habits, and if and how their child reacted to consuming certain foods at various stages of their life.
44% Higher Odds of Food Symptoms
Blood tests were conducted as well to measure whether the children produced IgE allergy antibodies to common food allergens.
It’s unclear how secondhand smoke would lead to the development of food allergies, but Feldman says there are a few theories.
Why the Association?
“It’s possible that secondhand smoke exposure in early life disrupts a child’s skin barrier, which might lead to children being exposed to food proteins through their skin which is theorized to increase children’s risk of food allergy,” she explains. She says it’s also possible that secondhand smoke exposure may interact with the child’s genes, although this has not been well-studied to date.
Feldman says a 24-year follow-up is underway. “This will allow us to look at the impact of early life factors on allergic diseases not only among children and adolescents, but young adults as well.”
An abstract describing the study findings was published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology in February 2017.
