Reducing calories to improve pregnancy outcomes in gestational diabetes
Diabetes which first develops in pregnancy (gestational diabetes) affects around 5% of pregnant women in the UK. Gestational diabetes causes short term issues in pregnancy, such as increased fetal growth and increased birth-weight, but it is also associated with an increased long-term risk of type 2 diabetes for both mother and child. Current guidelines advise women diagnosed with gestational diabetes to change towards a healthier diet during pregnancy and to increase exercise levels. Such changes can often help control blood glucose (sugar) levels without medication. However, there is not a lot of evidence about the best diet for women with gestational diabetes.
Researchers from Cambridge are recruiting 500 women diagnosed with gestational diabetes for a dietary intervention study led by Dr Claire Meek, Senior Clinical Research Fellow at the Wellcome-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science. Participants will receive weekly home-delivered food boxes that contain all meals and snacks from 28 weeks pregnancy to when the baby is born. Women will be randomly allocated to receive either a standard calorie or a reduced calorie diet box.
The researchers are investigating the impact of the diet on the mother’s weight change in this period of pregnancy and on the baby’s birthweight. They are also making detailed measurements to investigate the impact of the diet on body fat changes. The mother’s usual diet will be measured before and after the diet box intervention using an online diet tool to record what they are eating and drinking (Intake24).
This innovative study, which is funded by Diabetes UK, will help to improve care for women with gestational diabetes and their babies in future.

The first program of urban renewal at Rome carried out by Caesar Augustus and his followers began in 33 BC, when Caesar was consul for the second time and M. Agrippa was aedile. Agrippa dramatically expanded Rome’s water supply, also draining parts of the Campus Martius, and planting of a huge number of trees: in porticoes, in sanctuaries, beside temples, and laid out in large groves and wooded walks around Augustus’ gigantic Mausoleum (completed ca. 28 BC). This 'greening' of Rome in the late 30s and 20s BC was an important part of Augustus’ revival of Archaic Roman religion, prompted by the writings of the antiquarians of the previous generation. Our best evidence for this comes from the poetry of Vergil, and from the genre of 'sacro-idyllic' painting—invented at Rome in these very years.

Divorce is a legal process that dissolves a marriage between two individuals. Here’s an overview of the advantages, disadvantages, and procedure of divorce:
Advantages of Divorce:
- Provides a legal remedy: Divorce provides a legal remedy for couples who are unable to continue their marriage.
- Protects individual rights: Divorce protects the individual rights of both parties and provides a legal framework for the distribution of property and child custody.
- Enables a fresh start: Divorce allows individuals to move on from an unhappy marriage and start anew.
Disadvantages of Divorce:
- Emotional stress: Divorce can be emotionally stressful for both parties, especially if there are children involved.
- Financial implications: Divorce can have significant financial implications, including the division of property, spousal support, and child support.
- Legal costs: Legal fees can be expensive, and the process of divorce can be time-consuming and challenging.
Procedure for Divorce:
- Filing for divorce: One of the parties files a petition for divorce, citing the reasons for the divorce.
- Serving the petition: The petition is served to the other party, who can either agree or contest the divorce.
- Settlement negotiation: The parties negotiate a settlement agreement, which includes the division of assets, child custody arrangements, and spousal support.
- Court hearing: If the parties cannot agree on the terms of the settlement, a court hearing may be necessary.
- Final divorce decree: Once the terms of the settlement are agreed upon or ordered by the court, a final divorce decree is issued, officially dissolving the marriage.
In summary, divorce provides a legal remedy and protects individual rights but can be emotionally stressful, have significant financial implications, and involve high legal costs. The procedure for divorce involves filing for divorce, serving the petition, settlement negotiation, a court hearing if necessary, and the issuance of a final divorce decree.


Katherine Levine Einstein and Maxwell Palmer (2021). “Land of the Freeholder: How Property Rights Make Local Voting Rights”, Journal of Historical Political Economy: 1(4), pp 499-530.
A large body of research documents the dominance of homeowners in local politics. There has been little scholarship, however, on the role that voting institutions have played in empowering homeowners from the inception of the United States; indeed, most accounts describe property qualifications for voting and officeholding as largely fading from view by the mid-1800s. Combining a novel analysis of state constitutions and constitutional conventions with data on state statutes, this article explores the emergence of property qualifications for voting, with a particular emphasis on their role in local politics. We find that, counter most historical narratives, property requirements persisted well into the 20th century, with almost 90 percent of property requirements restricting voting and officeholding at the local level. Most centered on local bond referenda, school districts, and land use — suggesting that homeowner citizens were granted particular political control over local taxation and public services. These requirements were largely clustered in the American South and West — emerging alongside Jim Crow laws and mass availability of federal public lands — and were not eliminated until the Supreme Court took action in 1969 and 1970. This article illuminates the important role that voting institutions played in linking homeownership with American democratic citizenship, especially at the local level.


Old-growth trees are a vital part of many ecosystems around the world, providing habitat for a diverse range of animals and plants. However, as these trees age, they may develop various types of defects, including hollows, cracks, and rotting wood. These defects can create openings in the tree’s trunk or branches, which can have both positive and negative effects on the tree and the surrounding ecosystem.
One of the primary benefits of tree cavities and other openings is that they provide valuable nesting sites for a variety of wildlife. Birds, bats, and squirrels are just a few of the many animals that rely on tree cavities for shelter and breeding. In fact, some species, such as the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker, are highly dependent on old-growth trees with suitable cavities.
However, tree cavities can also pose risks to the tree and its surrounding environment. For example, if a cavity becomes large enough, it can weaken the tree’s structural integrity, making it more susceptible to wind damage or collapse. Additionally, openings in the tree can provide entry points for pests and diseases, which can further weaken or kill the tree. In some cases, these pests and diseases can also spread to neighboring trees, causing further damage to the forest ecosystem.
Another potential negative impact of tree cavities is the risk of wildfire. If a cavity becomes filled with debris, such as dry leaves or dead branches, it can become a potential fuel source for a wildfire. This can be especially dangerous in areas where wildfires are common or where there is a high risk of fire spreading.
Despite the potential risks associated with tree cavities and other openings, it is important to remember that these defects are a natural part of the aging process for many trees. In fact, some ecologists argue that the presence of cavities and other openings is an essential part of healthy forest ecosystems. Rather than trying to eliminate these defects, land managers and conservationists should focus on maintaining a diverse range of tree species and ages, as well as promoting healthy forest management practices that support the growth and survival of old-growth trees.
In conclusion, tree cavities and other openings can have both positive and negative impacts on old-growth trees and the surrounding ecosystem. While they provide valuable nesting sites for wildlife, they can also weaken the tree’s structural integrity and provide entry points for pests and diseases. By taking a holistic approach to forest management and conservation, we can help ensure the continued health and vitality of these important natural resources.

Potential of <i>Leucaena</i> spp. as a feed resource for ruminant animals in Thailand
Keynote paper presented at the International Leucaena Conference, 1‒3 November 2018, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
While Leucaena leucocephala grows wild in Thailand, some Leucaena spp. have been introduced and evaluated for their edible forage yield and quality. Experiments on appropriate management were performed in different environments and productivity was found to be affected by species or cultivar. Environmental conditions, plant spacing, age of plant and cutting height significantly affected growth and performance. Edible forage yield was in the range of 5‒6 t DM/ha/yr. Most species and cultivars contain high protein concentrations and are suitable for use as feed supplements as well as total ration for livestock. The effects of leucaena feeding on livestock are shown in lower mortality and increased productivity. While the leaf meal processing of leucaena for livestock feeding is increasingly recognized and practiced, cultivation of this crop is still minimal and insignificant. The role and importance of leucaena for livestock production, as well as its nutritional quality and factors which limit its use, are reviewed. The need for increased cultivation and integration of leucaena into local farming systems is emphasized. There is an urgent need to increase research support for the efficient cultivation of leucaena and an education campaign to dispel concerns about toxicity aspects.

Numerous economic studies have considered the relationship between class size and student achievement, the majority of which have focused on elementary schools in the US and Europe. While the general finding is that smaller classes are associated with increased student achievement, a few high-quality studies find no relationship. Further, empirical research on the costs and benefits of smaller classes concludes that other education policies, such as tutoring, early childhood programs, or improving teacher quality would be better investments.
In general, smaller classes are associated with increased student achievement, usually measured by standardized tests in multiple subjects such as mathematics and reading.
There are benefits of smaller class sizes when variation in class size (due to maximum class-size rules) and random fluctuations in population are taken into consideration.
The positive relationship between smaller class size and student achievement holds for students in different grades as well as in different countries and across continents.
Reducing class size is a clear education policy that is popular with students, parents, teachers, and policymakers, and hence easy to argue for.
Several high-quality studies find no relationship between class size and student achievement.
Reducing class size is a very expensive policy reform relative to other reforms, which may also provide better value.
Because most studies focus on elementary schools, much less is known about the relationship between class size and student achievement in secondary schools.
Reducing class size in many schools in developing countries is unlikely to improve achievement as these schools have more fundamental challenges, such as high teacher absenteeism.


If memory problems are seriously affecting your daily life, they could be early signs of new new alzheimer’s treatment disease. While the number of symptoms you have and how strong they are vary, it’s important to identify the early signs. You need to ask yourself some tough questions.
1. Memory loss through new alzheimer’s treatment
This is the most common symptom. Do you easily forget information you just learned? Are you lose track of important dates, names, and events? Do you forget big things even happened?
2. Trouble planning and problem solving
Do you have trouble making plans and sticking to them? Is it tricky to follow a recipe, even one you’ve used many times? Is it hard to concentrate on detailed tasks, especially if they involve numbers? For example, can you keep track of your bills and balance your checkbook?
3. Daily tasks are a challenge
Even familiar things can become hard. Do you have trouble driving to a location you go to often? Can you complete an ordinary task at work? Do you forget the rules of your favorite game?
4. Times and places are confusing
Can you fully grasp something that’s not happening right now? Are you disoriented? Do you get lost easily? Do you forget where you are?
5. Changes in vision
Is it harder to read the words on the page? Do you have trouble judging distance? Can you tell colors apart? This is important because it can affect your driving.
6. Words and conversations are frustrating
Vocabulary becomes hard. Can you find the right word you’re looking for? Or do you call things by the wrong name?
Conversations can be a struggle. Do you avoid joining in? Are you able to follow along? Are you suddenly stop in the middle of a discussion because you don’t know what to say? Do you keep repeating yourself?
7. You lose things
Everyone misplaces things from time to time, but can you retrace your steps to find them again? Do you put things in unusual places, like your watch in the refrigerator?

Is a Mental Health Crisis on the Horizon? Factors Related to COVID-19 Make it Likely
| 4 min read
- Economic distress: Many people in Michigan have temporarily or permanently lost their jobs. For every percentage point increase in unemployment, suicide rates are shown to increase 1.3%.
- Isolation/quarantine: While staying home and social distancing have helped slow the spread of COVID-19, according to the report, living alone and felt loneliness are strong predictors of suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts.
- Increased substance use: Many supports people with substance use disorder turned to before the pandemic could be harder to access, making a reoccurrence of using substances more likely. Suicide data indicates that 17-24% of those who die are acutely intoxicated at the time of death. People with alcohol dependence have a higher lifetime risk of suicide death when compared to people diagnosed with bipolar disorder, depression or psychotic disorders. For people with existing substance use disorders, unemployment raises the risk for increased substance use.
- Other factors: Insomnia and sleep disorders related to COVID-19, a lack of community gatekeepers, physical health problems related to COVID-19 and increased access to firearms are other factors listed in the report that could lead to increased suicide rates directly tied to the pandemic.

Every child wants to succeed and feel liked by their caregivers and peers. As providers, we can foster empathy and support the development of healthy relationships…but what happens when challenging behaviors interfere with these outcomes? We need practical strategies for moving through tough moments, engaging families, and catalyzing lasting change. The Collaborative Emotion Processing method, co-developed by Lauren Stauble and Alyssa Blask Campbell, uses current brain science and time-tested child development concepts to interpret challenging behaviors in innovative ways. Perfect for caregivers who are deepening their practice, just starting out, or finding themselves somewhere in between.

The CEP Deck
The way a specific emotion looks and feels for each of us and the stories that correlate are unique because emotion concepts are specific to culture. As children we learn emotion concepts from the people around us. This includes how to recognize them, what to do with them, and their related symbols. The CEP Deck is a tool that we created for teaching emotion concepts using the Collaborative Emotion Processing method.
Are challenging behaviors getting you or your staff down? Not sure where to begin? Ready to learn more? Ready to book?

The Criminal Asylum
How has society treated people who are both dangerous criminals and seriously ill? The exhibit tells the history of high-security psychiatry in Norway's first criminal asylum, opened in 1895.
The exhibit CLUES is about the police's role in the justice process, the what, how and why. Under the rule of law, no one can be sentenced without guilt being proven. The police serves the public by protecting citizens and investigating and preventing crimes.
The War Exhibit
The exhibits intention is to inspire reflection on what happens with the rule of law when an authoritarian power takes control. The tools used for torture by the Rinnan group is shown, and the Enigma machine.
The first appointed chief of police was in Trondheim in 1686, but it was not until 100 years later that the police wore a uniform. The exhibit showcases the history of the uniform from 1796 to today.

What is School-Based Health Care?
School-based health care is provided through school and community health organization partnerships and collaboration with school administration and health services staff. This care includes but is not limited to primary care, mental health, oral health, and vision services. This care complements, not replaces or duplicates, existing school health services. The usual governing entity of school-based health care is a community healthcare organization. The legal authority governing health data and privacy is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
School-based health centers (SBHCs) offer the most comprehensive type of school-based health care. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends school-based health centers (SBHCs) as an evidence-based model that improves educational and health outcomes. SBHCs provide the nation’s vulnerable children and youth access to primary care, behavioral health, oral health, and vision care where they spend most of their time – at school. Working at the intersection of health and education, SBHCs collaborate with school districts, principals, teachers, school staff, families, and students. The collaboration, care coordination, and youth engagement results in improved outcomes and health literacy for students, school staff, and the community. The collaboration also contributes to positive education outcomes, including reduced absenteeism, decreased disciplinary actions and suspensions, and improved graduation rates. SBHCs advocate for the needs of low-income children, youth, and families, provide them with a safe haven and serve as a protective factor that reduces poor health and education outcomes. Most SBHCs operate with an external community medical sponsoring agency in partnership with the Local Education Agency.
These six compelling stories will allow you to experience SBHC through the eyes of our children and youth.
Produced by our state affiliates and school-based health funders, these videos offer a quick synopsis of SBHC services, benefits, and outcomes.

Definition: The number and species of fruit trees on a given piece of property. In regenerative agriculture and Forest Gardening, a fruit tree portfolio should be diverse.
Forest Garden Tip: A diverse mix of fruit trees can provide nutritious and marketable food throughout the year. If planned well, fruit trees can produce fruit in lean times and supplement the household diet as needed.
Citrus trees are typically very spindly and tend to branch from the base of the tree. In order to raise productive trees, pruning is a must. A well-pruned citrus tree could be kept the size of a bush or even raised in a pot without hampering its ability to produce.
Pruning Tip: Citrus fruit only forms on new stem growth so branch ends should be pruned to urge new growth. Since it is very important for branches with fruit to have adequate sunlight, each year branches should be thinned and those “inside” the crown removed altogether to increase sunlight penetration.
Bananas are not really trees but are a large grass species. They are monocots. Bananas are also sterile; although producing both male and female flowers the banana fruit does not contain seeds. Bananas will flower after they produce 30 leaves, usually in eight to 13 months. Male flowers are purple and located at the end of the stem; female flowers are enclosed in bracts containing six to seven “hands,” each with eight to 16 bananas, also known as “fingers.” Once the plant flowers, the fruit will ripen within 5 months.

Conformations of alkane:
Each carbon in alkanes is sp3 hybridized and the four groups or atoms around the carbon are tetrahedrally bonded. In alkanes having two or more carbons, there exists free rotation about C-C single bond. Such rotation leaves all the groups or atoms bonded to each carbon into an infinite number of readily interconvertible three dimensional arrangements. Such readily interconvertible three dimensional arrangement of a molecule is called conformations.
The two tetrahedral methyl groups can rotate about the carbon – carbon bond axis yielding several arrangements called conformers. The extreme conformations are staggered and eclipsed conformation. There can be number of other arrangements between staggered and eclipsed forms and their arrangements are known as skew forms.
In this conformation, the hydrogen’s of one carbon are directly behind those of the other. The repulsion between the atoms is maximum and it is the least stable conformer.
In this conformation, the hydrogens of both the carbon atoms are far apart from each other. The repulsion between the atoms is minimum and it is the most stable conformer.
The infinite numbers of possible intermediate conformations between the two extreme conformations are referred as skew conformations.
The stabilities of various conformations of ethane are
Staggered > Skew > Eclipsed
The potential energy difference between the staggered and eclipsed conformation of ethane is around 12.5 KJmol-1. The various conformations can be represented by new man projection formula.
projection formula for Ethane
n-Butane may be considered as a derivative of ethane, as one hydrogen on each carbon is replaced by a methyl group
In this conformation, the distance between the two methyl group is minimum. So there is maximum repulsion between them and it is the least stable conformer.
In this conformation, the distance between the two methyl groups is maximum and so there is minimum repulsion between them. And it is the most stable conformer.
The following potentially energy diagram shows the relative stabilities of various conformers of n-butane.

Parametric estimation is a project management technique that uses statistical data and mathematical models to estimate the cost and duration of a project. It is based on the idea that many project characteristics can be described and predicted using statistical data and that a mathematical model can be used to estimate the cost and duration of a project based on this data.
Parametric estimation is useful in situations where there is a high degree of certainty and a large amount of historical data available. It is often used in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and engineering, where projects are repetitive and have well-defined characteristics.
Example of Parametric Estimation
An example of parametric estimation would be a construction company that needs to estimate the cost of building a new bridge. The company would use data from similar bridges that have been built in the past, and use a mathematical model to estimate the cost of the new bridge based on factors such as the length of the bridge, the type of materials used, and the number of lanes.
However, parametric estimation also has its limitations as it heavily depends on the availability and quality of data, and it may not be suitable for projects that are unique or have high degree of uncertainty. Therefore, it’s always recommended to use multiple estimation techniques in combination to get the most accurate estimate possible.
Parametric estimation is widely used in various fields of research and applications, including economics, finance, engineering, biology, and social sciences. It provides a structured framework for estimating unknown parameters, making statistical inferences, and modeling data based on specific assumptions about the underlying distribution or model.


The helical solar radiation shield, officially launched at the Meteorological Technology World Expo 2017 by Barani Design Technologies, a Slovakian manufacturer of meteorological sensors, achieves what had not been previously possible with multi-plate radiation shields. Opposing goals of maintaining free airflow to the internal sensor whilst also ensuring 360° sensor protection from the sun and all reflected radiation were realized in this one-of-a-kind design. It also protects sensors from water spray, rain, dirt and snow. These opposing goals had previously not been possible without fan-aspiration in the now market-dominant multi-plate solar screens. The patented spiral design achieves both goals simultaneously, thus ensuring new levels of air temperature accuracy and long-term measurement stability. It is noticeable when looking through the side of the continuous 27-piece double-helix spiral how air freely flows through its left side while the right side remains restricted, causing free moving air to organize into spiral flow around the centrally mounted sensor, which at the same time remains fully protected and out of sight. The relationship between the outer and inner helix forms was inspired by the design of high-lift devices on the wings of aircraft and optimized using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), thus enabling vortex formation even in practically windless conditions. The field-proven maintenance-free measurement qualities of the MeteoShield-based sensor systems have demonstrated the ability to measure with better precision than fan-ventilated radiation shields in challenging conditions. This includes over snow and water, and any other tough environment with strong sources of reflected radiation or nearby infrared heat sources, including pavements and walls as found in built-up areas. The ability to accurately measure air temperature near building walls makes the MeteoShield Professional an ideal choice for the challenging environment of cities. It is now possible to gather quality data from large distributed networks where the placement of a weather station was not previously possible. Agricultural applications and installations in arid climates benefit from its ability to keep sensors cleaner than both multi-plate and fan-aspirated shields.

In early childhood education, nursery rhymes remain an essential part of the learning process. But, does singing “Baa Baa Black Sheep” or “The Wheel’s on the Bus” and other nursery rhymes help children develop, or are they just a smart way to burn time in class?
Nursery rhymes are more than just songs. They provide fun-learning opportunities for children who do not have a sophisticated vocabulary yet. By singing short songs and repeating them, children can practice their listening and speaking skills and improve memory. This also helps them develop an interest in words and patterns. So yes, nursery rhymes are essential for child development in Virginia.
Other reasons that outline the importance of nursery rhymes in children are listed below.
- Nursery rhymes help children learn vocabulary and numeracy.
- They boost children’s motor skills, rhythm, movement, and coordination.
- They help children develop more sense of control and confidence.
- They help children understand the world better. It also helps their creativity.
- They are effective mood-boosters and a great way to make learning more fun.

Proclamation 290—Thanksgiving Day, 1889
By the President of the United States of America
A highly favored people, mindful of their dependence on the bounty of Divine Providence, should seek fitting occasion to testify gratitude and ascribe praise to Him who is the author of their many blessings. It behooves us, then, to look back with thankful hearts over the past year and bless God for His infinite mercy in vouchsafing to our land enduring peace, to our people freedom from pestilence and famine, to our husbandmen abundant harvests, and to them that labor a recompense of their toil.
Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States of America, do earnestly recommend that Thursday, the 28th day of this present month of November, be set apart as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer, and that the people of our country, ceasing from the cares and labors of their working day, shall assemble in their respective places of worship and give thanks to God, who has prospered us on our way and made our paths the paths of peace, beseeching Him to bless the day to our present and future good, making it truly one of thanksgiving for each reunited home circle as for the nation at large.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this 1st day of November, A. D. 1889, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and fourteenth.
By the President:
JAMES G. BLAINE,
Secretary of State.

Lark Quarry Dinosaur Trackways
These tracks are believed to be from a panicked dinosaur stampede.
Lark Quarry is located in the outback of Queensland, Australia, 110 kilometers southwest of the town of Winton. The site preserves the prehistoric scene of the only known record of an actual dinosaur stampede that took place more than 90 million years ago.
Caught in time are the footprints of a large carnivorous dinosaur as it slowly stalks its prey. The path of prints then reveals it charging and scattering as many as 150 other smaller dinosaurs, who can be seen stampeding in panic from the predator. However, there has been debate as to if these prints were from an actual dinosaur stampede. Other researchers believe the tracks were created over several days from dinosaurs crossing a channel.
The site itself was discovered in 1962 by Glen Seymour. Researchers from the Queensland Museum aided in excavating the location to further reveal the tracks, which called for the removal of more than 50 tons of rock. The current protective shelter was constructed in 2002 after the previous enclosure failed to protect the prints from exposure. The Conservation Building is designed to control temperature, humidity, and moisture levels to preserve the prints.

Drawing vector wood grain effect is pretty simple in Adobe Illustrator. Here is a quick Illustrator tutorial to create wood grain effect using the warp tools in illustrator. After this tutorial, you will be able to draw nice vector wood textures.
1. Creating the stripes
Select the Rectangle Tool, and draw a thin rectangle. Using the Selection Tool, Alt/Option drag it to create a instance at the bottom. Repeat this step by pressing Ctrl/Command+D to create a row of stripes.
2. Different stripe weights
Select all the rows of stripes then go to Object>Transform>Transform Each. Enter the values above and make sure the Random field is checked to give it a random height.
3. Natural stripe effect
Double click the Warp Tool and use the settings below. Now with the Warp Tool we brush through the row of lines in a horizontal direction. This will distort the stripes giving it a more natural look.
4. Giving it a Twirl
Next we select the Twirl Tool. Double click to change to the settings above. We need a medium sized brush to the twirl on the wood grain. With the Twirl tool, lightly click on different areas to give the stripes a twirl. Do not hold for too long as it will overly distort the stripes. You can change the brush size of the Twirl Tool by holding down Option+Shift /Alt+Shift.
4. Pucker it
Using the Pucker Tool, with the setting above. We pucker different sections of the stripes to make the stripes contract.
4. Touch up the wood grain
To make the stripes thinner, I select all the stripes and squash it using the Transform Tool.
5. Trim the edges
Select all the wood grain and fill it with dark brown. Draw a light brown rectangle and send it to the back. Copy the rectangle by pressing Ctrl/Command+C. Next, paste it to the front by pressing Ctrl/Command+F. Select all and right click to select Make Clipping Path. This will crop away the edges.
Heres the final wood texture.


Scientists have shown that nanowire networks, like the human brain, can exhibit both short-term and long-term memory. These networks consist of highly conductive silver wires coated in plastic and arranged in a web-like pattern, mimicking the physical structure of the human brain. The team successfully tested the memory function of nanowire networks using tasks similar to human psychological experiments. This breakthrough in nanotechnology suggests that non-biological hardware systems could potentially replicate brain-like learning and memory and have numerous real-world applications such as: I’m here. B. Improving robotics and sensor devices in unpredictable environments. Human-like intelligence may be physical In a groundbreaking study, an international team showed that nanowire networks can mimic the short- and long-term memory functions of the human brain. This breakthrough paves the way for brain-like learning and memory replication in non-biological systems with potential applications in robotics and sensing devices. An international team led by a scientist from the University of Sydney has shown that his network of nanowires, like the human brain, can exhibit both short-term and long-term memory. The findings were published today in Science Advances, led by Dr. Aron Leffler, Ph.D. in Physics, and his Japanese collaborators.

Hamble Point has been a key location for defensive fortifications throughout history. Nearby Hamble Common Camp is the site of a settlement dating back to the Iron Age and in the 16th Century Henry VIII chose this area to build St Andrew’s Castle as protection from France and the Holy Roman Empire. The castle has since been almost entirely lost to coastal erosion. In more recent history, defences like the WWII anti-aircraft Bofors gun installed here were positioned to protect Spitfire production and the oil refinery at Fawley.
Hamble is also synonymous with J Class Yachts. First made to participate in the 1930 America’s Cup, a limited number of these beautiful single-mast yachts have ever been made. Find out more on the J Class Association website.
On the plaque there are Yellow-horned poppies, which grow around the coast. After flowering in June the plant grows horn-like seedpods up to 30cm long. The sap of the Yellow-horned poppy is poisonous. Find out more about Yellow-horned poppies on the Wildlife Trust website.
This is the eighth marker post on the Hamble Peninsula Trails. From here it takes approximately 25 minutes to walk north to Hamble Foreshore.
Taking the Principal Trail further north to Bursledon Station, takes roughly 100 minutes to walk.
Travelling north west along the Principal Trail to Netley Abbey takes around 100 minutes to walk.
You can also use the supporting trails to find your own route either along the coast, or inland visiting Netley, Hamble and Bursledon railway stations, where you will find the Parish Posts designed by artist Madeleine Allison.

It’s well known that people differ from one another in their cognitive functioning. Some people consistently have a better memory, learn faster, reason more accurately, and can understand things more quickly than others.
Our understanding of fluctuations in cognitive functioning within a person, over time, are much less well understood.
In a new paper, rising superstar Sophie von Stumm adds to this growing literature on within-person differences by looking at patterns of change in both cognitive functioning and mood within people, across time.
First, Sophie measured cognitive ability on five consecutive days, including short-term memory, processing speed and working memory. Second, she had participants complete daily measures of positive and negative emotions.
What did she find?
As you can see here, there were substantial fluctuations both within people and between people in cognitive functioning across the five days:
However, most of the differences really were evident between people:
Even so, within-person differences accounted for twice as much of variation in positive and negative emotions compared to the tests of cognitive ability. What’s more, between-person differences in affect were less consistent than cognitive functioning across the five days. It seems that cognitive functioning is simply more stable than mood. Also, the experience of positive and negative emotions were mostly independent of each other.
Perhaps most interestingly, at the within-person level of analysis, there was no significant correlation between daily changes in affect and daily changes in cognitive functioning.*
These findings are a bit perplexing. After all, there is prior evidence suggesting that extreme stress and anxiety can impact cognitive functioning. The prior research on this topic, however, has focused mainly on patterns of correlations between people, not within people. What’s more, this study suggests that our normal everyday fluctuations in emotional functioning do not significantly impact the consistency of our cognitive functioning.
This study adds to a growing and important literature that is part of the new and important “person-specific paradigm“. Between-person differences can reveal very different patterns of associations than within-person differences, and this is sure to have deep implications for a wide range of personality and motivational processes.
* With the exception of a significant association between positive emotions and processing speed. According to van Stumm, “Put bluntly, the results suggest that people who have a general tendency to be more enthusiastic and alert have faster brains but additional research will be needed to substantiate this observation.”

Alzheimer’s Prevention Program
Research is showing that approximately 1 in every 3 cases of Alzheimer’s Disease may be preventable. That equates to about 1.1 to 3 million lives that could be saved every year from Alzheimer’s-related complications.
Did you know?
2 out of every 3 AD cases are women
Estrogen may be helpful if given during menopause but could be harmful if given 10 years after menopause
There are 7 modifiable risk factors that can be identified even before symptoms begin
A thorough risk assessment can be performed which includes: anthroprometric data, blood biomarkers, and cognitive function testing. Anyone with a family history of Alzheimer’s dementia should consider this risk assessment and treatment program.
- Most research on PRP for hair loss has addressed “androgenetic alopecia” or hormone-related baldness (which can occur in men and women).
- Evidence suggests that the treatment works best when combined with oral treatment, which will be discussed in more detail during the consultation.

W. Austin Gardner
The emergence of humor often marks the beginning of recovery. We begin to laugh at our predicaments and crack jokes about the people instead of criticizing them. We begin to sympathize with others who we think are worse off than ourselves. Although we may still take a superior attitude, we are beginning to learn new cultural ways.
How we relate to the people and culture at this stage is particularly crucial, for the patterns of adjustment we form here tend to stay with us. If we develop positive attitudes of appreciation and acceptance of the host people, we have laid the foundations for learning their culture and becoming one with them. On the other hand, if we remain negative and aloof, chances are that we will remain foreign and never identify ourselves with the nationals. And since we are models of the gospel for these people, it, too, will appear to them as distant and foreign.
Not only is our first year, indeed our first month, crucial in molding our lifelong relationship to a culture, it is also the time when we are most adaptable to it. We have few preconceptions of what we should do and a strong idealism that has motivated us to come. Since we have not yet settled into comfortable routines that blind us to what is going on, we are willing, at this stage, to identify closely with the people and make their culture our own. In this sense, culture shock is not simply an experience to be endured. As the Brewsters point out (1982), it is, in fact, one of the most significant and formative periods in our whole missionary experience. To use their term, it is a time when we are "bonded" in one way or another to the new culture. Paul Hiebert, Anthropological Insights for Missionaries


Common Core Standards
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Initiative is a state led effort that included math, reading, and curriculum specialists, in partnership with the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. The purpose was to establish a single set of clear educational expectations for English language arts/literacy and mathematics that states can share and voluntarily adopt. New Hampshire has embedded the standards from this initiative into our College and Career Ready Standards. The State Board of Education adopted the new standards for English language arts/literacy and mathematics at their July 8, 2010 meeting, committing to a thoughtful, orderly transition process for implementation and assessment to ensure that all New Hampshire students experience a successful and productive future.
The CCSS are not a national or state curriculum nor are they federally mandated. Standards do not tell teachers how to teach, but provide a kindergarten through 12th grade roadmap for what students should know and be able to demonstrate. It remains up to each local school district to design curriculum to help their students successfully achieve the standards. The CCSS are evidenced based, aligned with college and work expectations, and are informed by the highest standards across the country and globe. These standards were designed by a diverse group of educators, business leaders, and advocacy and policy stakeholders and have garnered support from state and national parent organizations.


An international research team consisting of scientists at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (Austrian Academy of Sciences), the Johannes Kepler University Linz, BOKU (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna), and the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have conducted research on the coronavirus and discovered two proteins they describe as a “possible Achilles heel” when it comes to the virus’ contagiousness.
The findings were published in the EMBO Journal, opens an external URL in a new window and can potentially be use for cross-variant treatment.
Coronaviruses use a spike protein (S protein) to enter human cells. A team of researchers spearheaded by Josef Penninger (IMBA) has identified two sugar-binding proteins that hinder the viral entry of circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants.
In collaboration with Peter Hinterdorfer (Institute of Biophysics, Johannes Kepler University Linz), the research team used biophysical methods to explore exactly how this lectin binding takes place. The research has resulted in an impressive video recording of Covid's docking method.
Prof, Hinterdorfer remarked: "Lectins are so-called glycoproteins and in turn, they can bind to the antigens’ sugar molecule structure, such as the spike protein. These could inhabit neuralgic sites directly on the spike protein and keep the pathogen from binding to the cells. Picture this as blocking the door because the key is stuck."
The international team of researchers also discovered that the two lectins bind at a specific site, namely the N343 position on the S protein. This site on an infectious spike protein is so crucial that it cannot be unaccounted for. Additional research has shown that viruses containing a mutated N343 are not dangerous.
The team has another glimmer of hope to its credit: Experiments being conducted at the Karolinksa Institutet using human lung cells are showing that - under laboratory conditions - the two lectins are rendering the coronavirus less contagious.

Alaska early 1900's settlers
today's post after a long break i must admit, is about an album salvaged a week ago all about early settlers in Alaska around 1910 and the little town of Cordova .A rare look at what was Americans life on the last real frontier.The gold discoveries and people rushing north led the U.S. Army to return to Alaska and establish six posts to maintain order. These posts were complete communities. Around the posts, communities grew, providing goods and services.When the posts were closed down, the local communities declined. This same pattern occurred during and after World War II and the Cold War.
Starting construction in 1900, the U.S. Army built Alaska's first significant road and a telegraph system. The Trans-Alaska Military Road went from Valdez north and east to Fort Egbert, the army's headquarters near Eagle on the Yukon. The Army constructed a 1,900 mile long telegraph to connect the six army posts. Along the telegraph routes, small communities grew around telegraph stations and roadhouses were built to serve workers and travelers, including the U.S. mail carriers.
Several private companies built railroads after the gold discoveries. Seward was founded as the southern end for a road that would cross the Kenai Peninsula and then head north to Fairbanks. Cordova was the seaport end for the railroad to bring the rich Kennecott copper out of the Wrangell Mountains. Stations along these routes grew into small towns.

Cretaceous sediments have been known in the Williston Basin since the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804–1806. Many workers have contributed to the classification and correlation of these beds.
One problem has been the correlation of the Dakota and Fall River sandstones in the southern end of the basin. Samples and electric logs of wells drilled in central South Dakota within the last few years have clarified the relationship. The Skull Creek shale, the lowest formation of the Graneros group, may be traced eastward into the east-central part of South Dakota. The Fall River may also be traced to the central part of the state, where it has previously been correlated as a Jurassic or older sandstone. The true Dakota overlies the Skull Creek shale in the same area. It may be traced westward to the west-central part of the state, where it interfingers and wedges out into the middle part of the Graneros shales. The interval between the top of the Dakota and the top of the Fall River sandstone ranges between 430 and 500 feet where both can be recognized.
Several Cretaceous sandstones produce oil or gas in areas adjacent to the Williston Basin. After consideration of their distribution within the Dakotas and eastern Montana, several areas are suggested for prospecting.


Short post description: If we want students to become visible learners and to truly be their own teachers, we need to teach them how to use self-questioning to guide their learning.
From the series: Developing Students’ Ownership of Learning—from a Distance, too!
Post #6: Recognizing Learning Through Self-Questioning
Well, we’ve come to the end of our series on assessment-capable, visible learners. This is the last entry focused on the teacher and student materials we developed to teach students how to take increased responsibility for their learning. We hope that these materials have been useful as you transitioned to distance learning with your students. Having said that, we hope the resources build habits with students that they can use irrespective of their learning environment.
Self-Questioning is a Powerful Tool
The final resource we’ll provide teaches students to use self-questioning to guide their learning. Self-questioning is another powerful tool that transcends the learning environment. Students can self-question in a school building or online, if they have been taught to do so and are provided the space and encouragement to practice.
Ideally, assessment-capable learners take responsibility to teach others. We hope that the lessons we have provided thus far have encouraged students to take more responsibility for their learning and that you will share with them their responsibility to teach other people. After all, when you teach someone else, you get a chance to learn again.
In these pages, we focus on helping students develop a habit of self-questioning.

Can Cockatiels Eat Eggplant?
Cockatiels are small and colorful birds native to Australia. They make great pets, as they are known for being friendly and inquisitive. As with all pet birds, it is important to provide them with a healthy diet that meets their nutritional needs. So the question arises – can cockatiels eat eggplant safely?
Nutritional Value of Eggplant
Eggplants are members of the nightshade family of vegetables and fruits. While many humans enjoy cooked eggplant in a variety of dishes, it has much less nutritional value for cockatiels than other vegetables such as carrots or spinach. While eggplants contain some essential vitamins and minerals, they do not have a high enough protein content to be considered an optimal part of a cockatiel’s diet. Additionally, the skin and seeds of eggplants contain potentially harmful toxins which should be avoided by your bird at all costs.
Safer Alternatives for Cockatiels
As previously mentioned, there are much better alternatives than eggplant when it comes to providing nutrition for your pet bird’s diet. Fruits such as apples or melons can provide added fiber while also offering additional vitamins; these should always be given in moderation due to their sugar content though! Vegetables like kale or sweet potatoes will provide your bird with necessary nutrients without introducing added sugars into its diet – just remember to prepare them properly (Cooked vs Raw) before feeding them to your cockatil! Lastly, nuts like almonds or walnuts can help round out any meal plan you decide on – just make sure that you only serve these in moderation too!
Conclusion: Can Cockatiels Eat Eggplant?
In conclusion, while technically speaking yes – cockateils CAN eat eggpant – this does not mean that it is recommendable in any way shape or form due its low nutrient profile & potential toxin levels found within the seed/skin respectively.. Instead choose healthier alternatives like fruits/vegetables & nuts which offer more nutritionally sound benefits without introducing extra risks into your companion’s life-long wellbeing journey!


What Does Ping Pong Virus Mean?
The Ping-pong virus is a boot sector virus that infects the DOS. It was discovered at the University of Turin (Italy) in 1988. A system corrupted by this virus has a white spot bouncing across the screen, touching all corners.
The Ping-pong virus is also known as Bouncing Ball, VerCruz, Italian A or Bouncing dot.
Techopedia Explains Ping Pong Virus
The Ping-pong virus is (was) a virus commonly detected in DOS. For a while, it was one of the most widespread boot sector viruses. The virus residing in memory becomes active when the disk is accessed; a tiny spot bouncing all over the screen then appears. Intel 286-based machines have a high possibility of crashing upon the appearance of the bouncing ball.
The Ping-pong virus existed mainly in three forms: Ping-Pong.A, Ping-Pong.B and Ping-Pong.C. The first form only infects floppy drives, whereas the last two both infect the boot sector of a hard disk. Although Ping-pong.A is no longer thought to be active, the two other variants are still active, though they are obviously not significant threats given that their age and that they targeted DOS.

About the white oak
White oak - Quercus alba
Identification: White oaks can be identified by their long, lobed leaves with curved edges. This differentiates them from red oak varieties, which have pointed tips. Leaves turn red or burgundy in fall. In spring, oaks make catkins, and in the fall, they produce oval acorns with a bumpy cap. White oak bark is light gray and ridged. Oaks are large, slow growing trees that can live for hundreds of years.
Height: 50-80 feet
Preferences: Full sun to partial shade. Hardiness zones 3-9. Prefer well-drained soil.
Wildlife value: The acorns of the white oak tree are a favorite food of wildlife including birds, deer, bears, rabbits and rodents. The acorns are less bitter than those of red oaks, containing fewer tannins. Birds are known to eat oak leaf buds and deer eat all parts of white oaks.
Uses: White oak is used to make cabinets, furniture, trim and veneer. It is also used to make barrels for winemaking and in boatbuilding for its moisture-resistant properties.


What is data erasure/ wiping?
Data erasure (also called data wiping) is a software-based method of overwriting the data that aims to completely destroy all electronic data residing on a hard disk drive or other digital media. Permanent data erasure goes beyond basic file deletion commands, which only remove direct pointers to the data disk sectors and make the data recovery possible with common software tools. Unlike degaussing and physical destruction, which render the storage media unusable, data erasure removes all information while leaving the disk operable, preserving IT assets and the environment.
Why should we wipe data?
If you run a file-recovery utility, you can recover data from these “unused” sectors, assuming they haven’t been overwritten yet. So if you have some important or sensitive data which you don’t want others to get, you must delete it completely and make it unrecoverable. This when we need data erasing tool.

More passes will be more secure, but it will take longer. Since disk erasing takes a long time, you can schedule an automatic shutdown after disk erasing.


Your pH balance controls the levels of acid in your blood. Your body needs the proper balance to function accordingly. Your pH levels are measured from acid and alkaline levels. Too much acidity will cause your pH levels to decrease and a rise in alkaline will increase your pH levels.
Feeling fatigued more often than usual? Excessive acidity may be the reason why. Too much acid in the body can make it harder to absorb the minerals your body needs.
Tips to help balance your energy levels this summer:
- Stay hydrated – Pickup a reusable water bottle and fill it 6 times per day.
- Eat healthier foods – Try making a poke bowl or turkey burgers.
Exercise regularly – Swim with a friend or do yoga on hot summer days!
Consuming too much acid in your daily diet can cause your stomach to feel off. Foods that contain too much acid can bring about acid reflux or other stomach issues.
Avoid high in acid foods:
- High-sodium foods
- Soda and seltzers
Improving Your pH Balance
Improving your pH balance doesn’t have to be hard. Try implementing a plant-based diet into your routine and taking a supplement that supports and helps hold a normal pH balance.Aloe Ferox Whole Leaf Caps can help balance your pH levels and provide you with the nutrients your body needs. Just three capsules a day can help you find the balance within.


Early number sense
At home, creating a poster to represent the number ten
We would like to congratulate all our Nursery children for their incredible achievements this year. We are extremely proud of you as you move on to new beginnings in Reception. Farewell to all the Acorns leaving us, we will miss you. We look forward to seeing those of you who are staying on at Grange Park when you return in September. Have a lovely Summer - Aine, Andrea and Silan.
Nursery children have been busy at home and school developing their ‘early number sense’, investigating numbers and visualising them in a variety of ways. They have created number posters collaboratively and individually, to represent numbers to ten and explored different arrangements of numbers using dice and Numicon.
At home, making the number eight
The children developed their awareness of the relationship between number and quantity using giant Numicon and small objects
At school, Bubble A and B created large number posters; working together to represent numbers in imaginative ways e.g. drawing around a circle to show the number one because ‘it has one side’
At home, taking the lead as class teacher, using symbols to represent numbers to 10 on a large whiteboard
Getting creative with numbers


Lode mining. Quartz mining. Hard rock mining. Call it what you will, the practice of extracting ore from stone is one of the most difficult, dangerous, and expensive forms of mining.
Placer Mining Vs. Lode Mining
There are two kinds of places where a prospector can find gold: the original veins of gold where it was formed in the rock or in deposits where natural actions such as water has eroded pieces of gold away from the original host rock.
Placer mining collects the later: sorting gold and other metals from river beds and other locations where the gold has traveled from the host rock. This means that water and other natural actions have already done a lot of the work. All an early placer miner would need was a pan to separate the pieces of gold from the sand around it.
Lode mining goes right to the source and targets the original gold veins where the gold will be more dense but more difficult to reach. This means chipping away at solid rock, whether that is with a pick or explosives. It’s rough and often dangerous work. This can mean following a vein deep underground—risking cave-ins and deadly gas. There are also extra expenses, such as pumping water our of shafts, lifting ore out of deep tunnels, and running tracks and carts through winding tunnels. Yet, the rewards could be great. Every miner knew the potential of discovering a new Comstock or Homesteak lode.

Injection mold is an important process equipment for the production of various industrial products. With the rapid development of the plastic industry and the promotion and application of plastic products in aviation, aerospace, electronics, machinery, ships and automobiles and other industrial sectors, the requirements of products on molds are also increasing. With the coming of age, the traditional mold design method has been unable to meet today’s requirements. Compared with traditional mold design, computer-aided engineering (CAE) technology can improve productivity, ensure product quality, or reduce costs and labor intensity. On the other hand, they have great advantages.
In the processing of injection molds, all kinds of CNC machining are used. The most widely used are CNC milling and machining centers. The application of CNC wire cutting and CNC EDM in mold CNC machining is also very common. Wire cutting is mainly used in the processing of various straight-walled molds, such as concave and convex dies in stamping, inserts and sliders in injection molds, electrodes for EDM, etc.
For mold parts with high hardness, machining methods cannot be used, and EDM is mostly used. In addition, EDM is also used for sharp corners, deep cavity parts, and narrow grooves of mold cavities.
The CNC lathe is mainly used to process the standard parts of the mold rod, as well as the mold cavity or core of the rotary body, such as the injection mold of the bottle body and the basin, and the forging mold of the shaft and disc parts. In mold processing, the application of CNC drilling machine can also play a role in improving processing accuracy and shortening processing cycle.
Molds are widely used, and almost all the forming and processing of product components in modern manufacturing require the use of molds. Therefore, the mold industry is an important part of the national high-tech industry and an important and valuable technical resource.
In order to adapt to market diversification and trial production of new products, it should be the development trend of mold production technology in the next 5 to 20 years by applying rapid prototyping technology and rapid molding technology to rapidly manufacture molding dies, plastic injection molds or die-casting molds.


Is a balance sheet the same as a P&L?
A balance sheet is a financial report about the financial position of an entity. It is a list of the assets, liabilities, and equity of an entity as at a particular date. It is a financial document that keeps up-to-date to the owners and other stakeholders about the company financial standing. Statement of financial position is particularly important to: Know the net worth of the business Determine the working capital of the business See if the entity Can sustain future operations Defend from tax proceedings Identify the rate of dividend Know if your business qualifies for bank loans On the other hand, the income statement ( profit or loss account) is a financial document providing detailed information about revenues, expenses, and profit or loss for a specific period. It helps users of the income statement to assess and measure the financial performance of an entity. We also know it as a statement of profit or loss. The main objective of the income statement is to assess the profitability and financial performance of the entity. It also helps to predict the future performance of the entity. Accountants prepare it for a specific period (i.e., for the month, for the year) There are three major components of the income statement: revenues, expenses, and profit or loss.


Powerlifting is a strength sport that tests athletes with three events: bench press, deadlift and squat. The athlete who lifts the most for a total weight during these three events wins. Each athlete makes three attempts at each event, and the highest successful lift will count toward the total. Athletes generally compete within classes split by age, weight and gender. The weight lifted relative to the athlete’s body weight matters. Within a class, ties are broken by calculating a score based on this relationship, and overall best lifter awards are won by the athlete with the highest weight lifted to bodyweight ratio.
Powerlifting differs from Olympic weightlifting in the movements completed in the events. Olympic weightlifters compete in the snatch and the clean and jerk. Powerlifting differs from bodybuilding, because bodybuilding focuses on aesthetics. The goal in powerlifting is to be strong, not to look strong. A great aspect of the sport is the relative ease with which we can adapt these movements to different ability levels and physical restrictions.
In the squat, the athlete loads the barbell onto the back, and upon appropriate commands, must lower themselves to a position in which the hip is below the knee (called “breaking parallel”). The athlete must then stand straight again, bearing the weight until the command to re-rack is given.
In the bench press, the athlete lies with back, head and buttocks on the bench. Feet must be flat on the floor without movement. Upon the start command, the athlete lowers the weighted barbell to the chest and pauses motionless until command to press is given. The athlete must then press the barbell until the elbows are locked straight above them and the command to rack the weight is given. At no point during the lift can the head or buttocks leave the bench or the feet from the floor.
In the deadlift, the athlete must lift a weighted barbell from the floor until their body is erect with shoulders back and straight. The barbell may not be drug up the body or use the thighs for support of the weight in the movement. The athlete must stand erect until the down command is given and then lower (not drop) the barbell to the ground. This movement can be done with feet together and arms outside the leg in a traditional position, or with feet spread wide and arms inside the leg in a sumo position.


“There is no epidemiological evidence to date that avian influenza can be transmitted to humans through consumption of food, notably poultry and eggs. When one considers the low number of recorded human infections in relation to the high number of people …exposed to H5N1 virus-infected animals, it is clear that a readily accessible portal of entry [into the human body] does not exist.” [However,] there is mounting circumstantial evidence of infection via ingestion so, as a precautionary measure, this mode of transmission cannot be ruled out.
FDA plans to compile a list of foods and dietary supplements at high risk of contamination with avian influenza. Ready-to-eat foods that require little or no cooking might be contaminated with the virus by workers who have avian influenza.
Home slaughtering and preparation of sick or dead poultry is extremely hazardous. Under no circumstances should anyone eat a sick bird or a bird that died for an unknown reason. HPAI H5N1 virus can be on the inside and/or outside of eggs laid by infected birds. Therefore, it is important not to consume raw or partially cooked eggs (i.e. no runny yolks).
These food safety rules will protect consumers from both HPAI H5N1 and other foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella:
- Separate raw meat from cooked foods
- Do not use the same chopping block or utensils for raw meat and other foods
- Do not put cooked meat back on the raw meat platter
- Wash your hands with soap and hot water after handling raw meat
- Cook food at or above 165 degrees Fahrenheit (i.e. no pink meat)
- Fully cook eggs (i.e. no runny yolks)
- Fully cooked or pasteurized eggs / egg products are safe to eat.
- HPAI H5N1 is killed by cooking food at or above 165 degrees Fahrenheit (i.e. no pink meat). HPAI H5N1 is not killed by freezing or refrigeration.

Crystals : Clarity in Refraction
journal contributionposted on 2019-07-30, 00:00 authored by Akshay Pandey
Creating drugs to target a particular protein or complex of proteins requires information about the molecule's basic structure. Protein crystallography is one of the earliest and most effective methods to ascertain this basic structure and contribute to the development of drugs. My research goal is to study the role of FoxM1 protein in cancer. FoxM1 has been observed as overexpressed in all types of cancer and has been shown to contribute in cancer's progression. Another protein Arf has been shown to bind to FoxM1 and relocate it to nucleolus where it is rendered inactive. Our lab has developed a small peptide fragment of Arf that binds to FoxM1 and relocates it to nucleolus just as the endogenous Arf protein, thus, negating the effect of overexpressed FoxM1. This could potentially lead to the development of a drug that targets FoxM1 without any adverse effects. One of the goals of my research is to crystallize the Arf-FoxM1 complex and find the structure of the co-crystal. To learn the skills necessary to accomplish my research goals, I took the Structures of Biopolymers course offered by the Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics department, where I had my first hands-on experience with protein crystallography as a part of an assignment. The image here shows multiple crystals of the protein lysozyme suspended in the drop where their nucleation started. Although the crystals are the same shape, they appear to be different in both shape and color when suspended in a different orientation. The different colors and shades result from the diffraction of a monochromatic light as it passes through the crystals suspended in multiple different orientations. Mastering the art of protein crystallography will greatly facilitate my research and, eventually, the development of a drug to target FoxM1.

Forensic identification problems are examples in which the study of DNA profiles is a common approach. To deal with these problems an introduction and explanation of various concepts is needed. Here we present some problems and develop their treatment putting the focus in the use of object-oriented Bayesian networks. The use of DNA databases, which began in 1995 in England, has created new challenges about its use. In Portugal the legislation for the construction of a genetic database was defined in 2008. With this it is important to determine how to use it in an appropriate way. For a crime that has been committed, forensic laboratories identify genetic characteristics in order to connect one or more individuals to it. Apart the laboratories results it is a matter of great importance to quantify the information obtained, i.e., to know how to evaluate and interpret the results obtained providing support to the judicial system. Other forensic identification problems are body identification; whether the identification of a body (or more than one) found, together with the information of missing persons belonging to one or more known families, for which there may be information of family members who claimed the disappearance. In this work intend to discuss how to use the database; the hypotheses of interest and the database use to determine the likelihood ratios, i.e., how to evaluate the evidence for different situations. Keywords: Bayesian networks, DNA profiles, identification problems.


This section is part of the Infineon Aurix Project 2020
Among the various possibilities offered by the Infineon Aurix TFT 297 board, the presence of a touch screen display (320×240 xga LCD) immediately outlined one of the main objectives of the project. In fact, the screen is the simplest interface to give a quick view of the available data, and the touch screen provides the possibility of receiving quick inputs for any operations on the board.
When the board starts, the initial screen is displayed, and all the implemented algorithms are shown. At this point, the board waits for an external input, via touch screen, and all the other functions are temporarily disabled. When one of the available models is selected, all the other operations are restarted, and the empty chart is displayed on the screen.
It’s useful at this point to discuss the choices made to display the data. Given the initial decision to implement algorithms for regression, it was decided to represent the data through a scatter plot. The latter provides a quick tool to understand the quality of the prediction performed. A concentration of points close to the diagonal will represent better performance.
After the initial setup, raw values are sent by the client. At this point they are processed and, as soon as the prediction result is available, a function is called to draw the point. The latter scales the values and uses a low-level function to turn on a single pixel on the screen. For each connection, a different color is assigned, in order to provide more readability.
A final analysis of the internal storing of the result was made, in order to add some functionalities to the screen. Considering 4 Byte for the predicted value and the same for the measured one, a total of 8 Byte is needed for each instance. Since the dataset used for test contains ~5000 records, a total of 40kB for each client seemed too much. For this reason, in the implementation, all values are thrown away as soon as they are displayed.
