Duplex stainless steel is a type of alloy composed of ferrite and austenite. It is known for its high strength, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance. This makes it an ideal material for use in various industries, from food processing to marine engineering. Let’s take a look at some of the most common applications of duplex stainless steel.
Duplex stainless steel is commonly utilized in food processing because it has superior corrosion resistance when compared to other materials. This means that it can withstand contact with acidic foods and liquids without reacting or corroding, thus ensuring the safety and quality of the food products being processed. In addition to its corrosion resistance, duplex stainless steel is easy to clean and sanitize, further increasing its desirability for food processing plants.
The high strength and corrosion resistance combination also make duplex stainless steel an ideal choice for marine applications such as shipbuilding and offshore oil rigs. The high strength ensures that these structures can withstand even the harshest weather conditions while providing excellent levels of stability and protection against corrosion. Additionally, duplex stainless steel can be used in underwater vessels such as submarines due to its excellent heat resistance properties, allowing the vessel to remain submerged for extended periods without suffering any damage or degradation.
Duplex stainless steel is often used in chemical plants due to its ability to resist corrosion caused by harsh chemicals such as acids and alkalis. Its high strength also allows it to be used where mechanical stresses are present, making it ideal for components that must endure high pressure or heavy loads regularly. Furthermore, its heat-resistant properties make it suitable for use in hot areas where conventional materials may not be able to handle the extreme temperatures without failing.
Duplex stainless steel is an incredibly versatile material with many uses across a wide range of industries. From food processing plants and chemical plants to marine engineering projects, this type of alloy provides superior performance levels when compared with other materials thanks to its combination of high strength, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance properties. For anyone looking for a reliable material that can perform under tough conditions without sacrificing quality or safety, duplex stainless steel should be at the top of their list!

ABSTRACTThe first and most general aim of this treatise is to introduce readers to the art songs of Mary Carr Moore (1873-1957), an American composer who lived and worked on the West Coast. Moore composed songs throughout her life, yet her contributions to this genre have garnered little attention. The songs chosen for this study represent a small portion of Moore's output of vocal music with poetry on natural themes. I have long been fascinated by the myriad ways artists experience the natural world and filter it through their works, and this project has been an attempt to explore just one composer's relationship with nature. While the complicated task of defining nature, if it is possible to do so satisfactorily, is beyond the scope of this treatise, it is my hope that the following broad descriptions of natural imagery will suffice for the reader: imagery of land, including flora and fauna; imagery of water, such as lagoons or the ocean; and imagery of air, including the sky, wind, or clouds. To consider each song in historical context, discussions of relevant biographical points concerning the composer and poets precede each musical analysis. Historical details pertaining to the selected works are highlighted. Each chapter contains song analyses including discussions of prosody and salient musical features. In addition to exploring the ways Moore musicalized natural imagery in her art songs, the reader will gain a deeper understanding of her musical language. Furthermore, because Moore composed the presented songs over three decades, the reader will obtain a sense of how her compositional style developed throughout her career. Finally, this treatise will apply three criteria concerning the ways women artists from the Victorian era commonly expressed nature in their works. These include nature as an extension of the domestic sphere, nature as possessing intrinsic value (not as a commodity), and nature as a spiritual experience. While aspects of these criteria may apply to any or all the songs in this study, these three considerations will be specifically reserved for the songs whose texts are by women authors.


A brilliant image of an extraterrestrial object interacting with our planet Earth was captured on camera over the northeastern city of Cairns in Australia.
A camera at Cairns Airport caught the meteor emitting what appeared to be a greenish light, lighting up the dark sky.
Cairns Airport said in a social media post a day after it happened that they had “witnessed some pretty incredible activity” in the night sky.
Others are local residents recorded a flash of light so many people in the city were sleeping on surveillance cameras.
Space.com called the object an exploding meteor. It lit up the night sky shortly after dark around 21:22 local time on May 20.
As the object made its way through the atmosphere, a loud explosion was heard hundreds of miles away.
The object was considered small compared to other meteors and extraterrestrial objects. It was estimated to be between 1.6 and 3.2 feet wide and may have been traveling at speeds of over 93,000 miles per hour. according to a researcher at the Australian National University.
Astronomers say globular meteors often emit a bright green light and disintegrate in Earth’s atmosphere.
one Australian astrophysicist said friction increased as the meteor flew toward the Earth’s surface until it caused the meteor to shatter in a huge flash along with a sonic boom.

Our #SpeciesOfTheWeek is the Wood Frog (Lithobates sylvaticus). As winter nears and temperatures drop, these frogs are becoming inactive for the season – they have special adaptations that allow them to survive the cold winter by tolerating the freezing of their blood and tissues! Typically settling down in spots close to the surface in soil and leaf litter, their breathing and heart rate begin to slow until stopping altogether. During this time, their bodies produce a special antifreeze substance that prevents ice from forming within their cells, which would otherwise cause them to burst. They will then remain in this dormant state until the weather warms again in the spring when they will thaw and begin mating. Here at Murphys Point, we often find Wood Frogs in the campgrounds as they like to live in the leaves on the forest floor where they can camouflage and hide from predators. Have you ever seen a Wood Frog while camping here at the park?

Why Do Squirrels Bury Nuts?
Posted on September 16, 2019
If you live in a rural area, or near a park, you’ve probably observed this unique squirrel behavior. When the weather catches a chill, these bushy-tailed creatures begin what looks like preparation for a wide-scale scavenger hunt. In great numbers, these squirrels begin to bury nuts! Squirrels hide nuts this way as preparation for cold weather when otherwise food will be scarce. This kind of proactive stashing raises a lot of questions for squirrel enthusiasts—the most pressing being how do the squirrels find their nuts again? Eastern gray squirrels, in particular, bury their nuts far and wide. Scientists themselves aren’t even quite sure of everything that goes into this stashing behavior, but they have some ideas.
Scientists have observed gray squirrels frequently burying and reburying their nuts. The scientists posited that this behavior was to help always keep a fresh memory of the nut’s location. However, it’s not only memory that squirrels need to combat in order to find their nuts! The gray squirrel community is rampant with nut theft. Squirrels can lose as much as 25% of their cached nuts to such thieves! Luckily, squirrels have developed some clever tactics to protect their nuts. Scientists have observed squirrels creating false caches in order to trick thieves. If squirrels are suspicious of thieves, they will also start to hide their nuts in difficult to reach places (like under bushes or in muddy areas).


In an organism with some number of chromosomes, the process of meiosis, with its two cell divisions, already provides for a large variability among organisms. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, so each individual could produce 223 different gametes just through different assortments of chromosomes. However, the actual variability in gametes is much larger than this because of chromosomal crossing-over. This process exchanges DNA between homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
During interphase prior to meiosis, each homologous chromosome is duplicated. During prophase I of meiosis, these duplicated homologous chromosomes are paired, forming a bivalent, a structure consisting of two sets of sister chromatids (from replicated homologous chromosomes) connected by the synaptonemal, ladderlike complex prior to the first meiotic division. The two pairs of sister chromatids are in close proximity during prophase I, allowing for a chiasma, or point of attachment between two (nonsister) chromatids, to form. A chiasma (plural, chiasmata) is the location on homologous chromosomes in a bivalent where crossing-over occurs. At the chiasmata, the double helices of the DNA strand of the individual chromatids are broken and then re-formed. The re-formation of the helices results in two new permanent connections between the attached chromatids. The chromatids still contain the same genes, in the same sequences as before, but they have exchanged alleles. An allele is a version of a gene. The process of swapping alleles between homologous chromosomes is called genetic recombination.Each bivalent has at least one chiasma and may have multiple chiasmata. In human chromosomes there are an average of four chiasmata per tetrad. Furthermore, each pair of sister chromatids may make different chiasmata with either of the other sister chromatids. Each individual chromatid can thus generate a unique genetic sequence through genetic recombination. At the end of meiosis, each now-unique sister chromatid becomes a chromosome in one of the four gametes produced. Since this crossing-over occurs individually in the bivalent formed from each pair of homologous chromosomes, the genetic variability it provides is extremely high. It is also a random occurrence and so contributes to the genetic variation among individuals of a species, which allows for evolution through natural selection.

Strenuous activity wears you out. No news there. But it turns out that exercising your biceps will make your legs just as tired as working out your quads. And for the first time, researchers seem to know why.
Researchers at Britain's Nottingham Trent University tested subjects on two different exercise setups: one group did two rounds of intense leg exercises, the other did arms followed by legs. Each group's second set of exercises showed about a 33% decline in performance — despite half of the subjects starting with fresh legs. Physiologically, this is puzzling: each muscle contains its own fuel (glycogen, ATP and phosphocreatine, for you science types), and your arms can't steal energy stored away in your legs. So what gives?
The hypothesis is that, while fuel use is contained to the muscle being exercised, the buildup of metabolites in the blood affects the whole body. In other words, the lactate, hydrogen and potassium your arms spit out while you're blasting curls will slow down your "fresh" legs almost as much as if you were grinding out squats, despite your quads having a full tank of fuel. So while exercise enthusiasts tend to work on each muscle group as its own ecosystem, it turns out the human body operates more like one integrated machine. [Runner's World]

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi ,the Father of the Nation was born on 2nd October 1869 at Porbandar in Gujarat.
In his autobiography My experiments with Truth Gandhi recalls that his childhood and teen age years were characterized by education in a local school, marriage to Kasturba at the age of 13 and an intrinsic love for ‘truth ’ and ‘duty ’.
Gandhi Jayanti is a national holiday celebrated in India to mark the occasion of the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, the “Father of the Nation”. It is celebrated on October 2 , every year.
on 15th June 2007, The United Nations General Assembly decided to observe the International Day of Non-Violence each year on 2 October – the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, who helped lead India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.
The day is marked by prayer services and tributes all over India, especially at Raj Ghat, Gandhi’s memorial in New Delhi where he was cremated.
For Gandhi ‘Non-violence ’ and truth were two inalienable virtues. He summed up the entire philosophy of his life as : “The only virtue I want to claim is truth and non-violence. I lay no claim to super human powers : I want none”.
On 30 January 1948, Gandhi was shot and killed while having his nightly public walk on the grounds of the Birla Bhavan (Birla House) in New Delhi. The assassin, Nathuram Godse , was a Hindu radical with links to the extremist Hindu Mahasabha, who held Gandhi responsible for weakening India by insisting upon a payment to Pakistan.


Bitter root or Lewisia cotyledon (loo-ISS-ee-ah kot-ih-LEE-don) is a perennial evergreen native to the Pacific Northwest hardy to zone 4 (-30 °F to -20 °F). They form small rosettes about 12″ across and flowers that range from yellow, reds and white. Yes this little gem can grow in your perennial garden if, and only if, you have the right location.
After two failed attempts in various locations I spoke with a plantsmith about this particular issue and he told me, “plant them high and dry”. Lewisia is prone to rot over the winter months and to prevent this they need to be planted in locations where the drainage is quick and fast. This can be a challenge in Southeast Nebraska where clay is the dominate soil type. He also suggested planting the crown slightly above the soil grade to keep it dry.
Keeping his advice in mind we decided to try again and planted two along the walkway that is on a steep slope that other plants failed to thrive. As you know, winter was brutal with no snow and bitter cold weather. On a few rare occasions when I ventured out I did check on the plants they appeared green and lush. Even when the snow receded they didn’t show any signs of rot. When May finally arrived we were treated to the first round of blooms. Different authors state that you can be rewarded with multiple rounds of blooms over the growing season. Hopefully that will be the case but we are just excited that we finally found a plant for a challenging location.
This plant isn’t for everyone. You need to know how the water drains in your landscape before deciding to plant this. It will not survive in a traditional “flat” garden. Two failed attempts taught us that. If you decide to try it buy one or two and give it a go.


SheerWind has developed a new funnel technology for operating wind turbines with the INVELOX wind-power generation system.
On integrating INVELOX with three wind turbines in a row, it increases electrical power output for a single tower.
The INVELOX system is a large funnel that can capture, concentrate and speed up the wind and then efficiently send to turbines located at ground level.
INVELOX technology provides high-performance, cost-efficient wind energy while reducing carbon footprint and impact on the environment.
Compared to a single turbine, three turbines placed in a series of an INVELOX system produces additional 120 percent power, at minimum added cost of turbine-generators.
In addition, there are various benefits of multiple turbines in single tower including, gain in output without increasing footprint and offering upgradability to meet increase in power demands.
RELATED SheerWind to supply INVELOX wind power generation technology to DUBAL
Further, the operational downtime will be nearly zero with this technology, as maintenance can be done on one turbine while the others continue producing energy.
The maintenance cost and failure can be reduced to a great extent, with an INVELOX capacity factor at 60–90 percent of range and turbines installed at ground level, close to the end user.
Moreover, the increased capacity allows production in areas previously limited by low wind speed, size or land constraints.
By integrating unique wind technology with traditional wind delivery system, INVELOX can address the intermittency and size issues, producing efficient wind generation machines.
In October, SheerWind conducted a preliminary assessment to determine the power capacity of INVELOX system for a Midwest food processing plant.
Following the assessment phase, SheerWind decided to propose a 15 to 25 MW INVELOX wind-power plant installation at the facility.
The concept of INVELOX system was introduced for the first time in July, after a series of powerful field tests.


The construction industry is notorious for having many unique hazards that require careful mitigation to safely work around. Companies that fail to provide adequate training and experience to their employees may unknowingly increase the chances of injury to one or more of their workers.
Situations, where an incident causes injury to a worker who is not in the United States but working for an American entity, may create an entirely different set of challenges, especially for the injured worker seeking compensation.
Protection for workers
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the creation of protections such as the Defense Base Act and the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, are to provide support to injured workers stationed outside of the country. Contracted civilian workers who perform under the direction of the federal government are eligible for compensation for injuries received on a job.
Preventing on-sight accidents
The prevention of construction accidents is a goal that requires teamwork. Officials providing training and instruction must do their part to provide adequate protective gear, monitor maintenance and repairs of machinery and equipment, and implement thorough safety logs to verify the integrity of different aspects of a project. Likewise, workers must perform the functions of their job with attention to detail and vigilance. Responsibility, thorough communication, use of all provided safety equipment and involvement in safety training are other ways that workers can optimize their protection.
The U.S. National Library of Medicine Natural Institutes of Health suggests that officials conduct regular assessments to verify that workers are following the rules and protocols designed to protect them. Experts also recommend the completion of an analysis to determine potential hazards on a job site before they turn into a threat.


In “The Children Have to Hear Another Story,” celebrated Abenaki filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin exhibits documentary films, recordings, and ephemera that survey the history of Indigenous resistance in Canada. Working for more than half a century, the artist has seen it all—and more than once. The exhibition’s physical structure leads the viewer chronologically in a circle that starts and ends with children, underscoring the cyclical nature of systematic oppression. Obomsawin’s attentive lens captures some of the most revealingly recurring instances of colonial violence across Canada. For instance, the land-usage debates at the heart of Kanhesatake: 270 years of resistance, 1993, and Incident at Restigouche, 1984, find an echo in present-day altercations between land defenders and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Wet’suwet’en territory.
Significantly, Obomsawin speaks to the generational traumas of the residential-school system, a horrific colonial practice of separating Indigenous children from their families and placing them with strangers under the pretext of reeducation. Many children were abused and killed, and in recent years, thousands of their remains have been found in unmarked graves across Canada.
There is no accountability in a structure based in genocide, and yet it demands extensive proof of compliance from its victims. Throughout the exhibition, grant reports, letters, and project proposals line the walls. It is unnerving that one must participate in such an elaborate exercise of justification if they are to be heard, especially when the artist is sincerely driven by the radical pursuit of care and dignity. Obomsawin’s films, from Christmas at Moose factory, 1971, to the heartbreaking Richard Cardinal: Cry from a Diary of a Métis Child, 1986, and We Can’t make the Same Mistake Twice, 2016, center real children and their welfare—a startling contrast to Canada’s nationalistic concerns.


The aromatic jackfruit is the world’s largest tree-borne fruit and has been a common food source for centuries in tropical South and Southeast Asia. People from these regions revere the jackfruit as it has saved millions of lives during years of food scarcity. It is honored as the national fruit in both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Due to its versatility, jackfruit is considered a miracle crop that can improve worldwide food security amidst the effects of climate change. During the initial weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people in the Sri Lankan rural villages lost their source of income, waiting for weeks or even months before any form of government support reached them. Fortunately, the villagers could rely on the jackfruit crops as their staple food, thereby preventing another food shortage. The jackfruit is an evergreen tropical tree fruit native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. Archaeological evidence reveals that its cultivation in India started as early as 1300 BC. This fruit is a member of the mulberry family, related to fig and breadfruit, and prefers tropical or near-tropical lowlands with rich, deep, and porous soil to flourish. The tree is easy to grow, highly productive, resilient to pests and disease, and can endure extreme weather conditions. Once established, it requires minimal attention. Jackfruit can weigh on average between 10 and 15 kilograms. In some cases, they can even weigh up to 45 kilograms! In its native climate condition, the jackfruit tree is very productive and its fruits can be harvested all year round, and the peak season being summer. A healthy tree can produce up to 200 fruits a year, equivalent to three metric tons. The jackfruit tree is blessed with longevity, having an average life span of 60 to 70 years. This amazing fruit is a nutritional powerhouse. It is rich in dietary fiber, which helps maintain digestive health and weight control; it is also free from fats and bad cholesterol- good for cardiovascular health. Moreover, it has plenty of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that support the immune system and helps to prevent cancer and inflammation.

1. EAT THE RIGHT THINGS
Consuming the vitamins and minerals your heart needs provides the foundation for a healthy heart.
2. EXERCISE DAILY
Three types of exercises are vital to heart health: aerobic, resistance, and flexibility (think running, strength training and yoga, for example). By varying the type of exercises that are performed every day, you can strengthen and train the heart in different ways.
3. GET ENOUGH SLEEP
Not getting enough sleep puts you at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease – regardless of age, weight, smoking and exercise habits. Sleeping too little changes the way our body functions and can affect blood pressure.
4. STOP SMOKING
Smoking, with all its negative side effects – is detrimental to heart health and is the cause of many diseases. By simply quitting smoking or avoiding it altogether, you are saving your hearth from almost inevitable complications.
5. MANAGE STRESS
We all have busy lives and stress is inevitable. While we can’t avoid it entirely, we can make attempts to manage stress in a healthy way. Take a yoga class, set aside 30 minutes of “me time”, or practice deep breathing. A littles goes a long way in time and stress management.


Turing’s Legacy Today: between Inheritance Appropriation and Resource for the Future
to download freely
The article describes the particular style of Turing's articles, distinct from all others by two features: he maintains an imaginary dialogue with his reader and at same time identifies himself with the object he describes in the various domains he deals with, mathematics, logic, philosophy or biology. This particular style is complemented by the description of Turing's three-phase intellectual development which is described chronologically: being a machine; being a woman/man/machine; being a biological form. One becomes aware that the notion of the mechanical or of computation should not at all be considered as the ultimate ontological universal model to be applied to reality in an undifferentiated way: this would be inheritance appropriation. On the contrary, because computation is a consequence of the inner limitations of formal systems, it is by definition an interface that grasps only what pertains to the formal and discrete order in phenomena. It is therefore the relationship between determinism and unpredictability which becomes central. Consequences of this relationship are drawn from the point of view of today’s natural as well as social sciences, in particular in the use of “big data”.

The Firefighters' Heritage Trail has been created to honour firefighters who lost their lives protecting life and property in Glasgow.
Some of those fires claimed the lives of firefighters who fought gallantly to contain the destruction. To honour Glasgow's fallen firefighters, the Firefighters' Heritage Trail has been created to tell the stories of some of the people and places that have played an important part in the history of firefighting in Glasgow.
Twelve memorial plaques have been set into the pavement to mark the sites where firefighters lost their lives. In addition, we have identified several further sites of special interest relating to the history of the fire service in Glasgow.
In 2010, serving and retired firefighters commemorated the 50th Anniversary of the Cheapside Street Fire Disaster which took place on the 28th March 1960, and at which 14 firefighters and five salvage corps officers died as a result of a massive explosion at a distillery and whisky storage facility.
In preparation for the 50th Anniversary, the decision was taken to commemorate the disaster in a significant way, including the refurbishment of the monument in the City Necropolis and by the placing of a marker on the site of the disaster.
Furthermore, it was decided that as a tribute to the many lives of Glasgow firefighters sacrificed in the service of the City at other fires, that suitable markers should also be placed on the street sites of these occurrences.
This is The Firefighters' Heritage Trail. Creation of the trail has been made possible thanks to the award of £54,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an arthropod-born single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Alphavirus genus of the Togaviridae family. The virion envelope consists of a lipid bilayer derived from the plasma membrane of the host cell, multiple copies of two major virus encoded glycoproteins E1 and E2, and a small 6K peptide.
The E1 and E2 proteins form a heterodimer anchored in the membrane. CHIKV infection causes an illness with symptoms similar to dengue fever. Recent outbreaks of CHIKV provided an opportunity for genetic analysis of patients with the illness, revealing a point mutation at the amino acid 226 (Ala mutated to Val) of the E1 gene. This point mutation was shown to be responsible for an increased capacity of CHIKV strains to infect and replicate in the Aedes albopictus, facilitating virus transmission to a naive human population.
A2323 is composed of the amino acids 67-482 of the chikungunya E1 protein which was cloned into an insect expression vector, however at position 226 the Alanine of the wild-type CHIKV E1 gene was mutated to Valine. The secreted and soluble recombinant protein was purified with affinity chromatography.


On February 9th, the Grade 9 girls had the opportunity to visit the Michael Smith Laboratories and experience a day as scientists at UBC.
The program, hosted by the Advanced Molecular Biology Laboratories, allowed us to participate in fun and interesting activities. We were able isolate our own DNA and to explore the newly built Beaty Biodiversity Museum. During the past couple of months, the Grade 9’s have been studying the cell and how it functions. This field trip really helped us to understand how our bodies operate and allowed us to interact with “real” scientists at UBC.
The first activity involved isolating DNA from our cheeks. Using a combination of salt water, SDS, and ethanol, we were able to see our DNA. Everyone was very surprised to see what our DNA actually looked like in real life. It looked quite different in the test tube than in our science textbooks and models at school!
The second activity was exploring the Beaty Biodiversity Museum. This museum displays UBC’s natural history collections, which includes more than two million specimens. Among the exhibits were the second-largest fish collection in Canada, fossils, shells, mammals and plants from British Columbia and around the world. The entrance boasts a 26-foot blue whale skeleton. After the initial tour, we participated in a scavenger hunt and discovered facts about the exhibits from the staff.
Not only did we participate in workshops, but we also had the opportunity to listen to a presentation by Dr. Phil Hieter, a geneticist at the University. Dr. Hieter is a world-renowned scientist who is a leading researcher in gene mutations in yeast. Yeast has proven to be an excellent model for the study of mutations, as it is quite similar to a human cell. His research can be useful for developing strategies for cancer therapies.
Overall, the Grade 9 field trip to UBC was a great success. Not only did we have a great time as a class, we gained new information and experienced “a day in the life” of a scientist at UBC.


Mostly rolling highlands; low coastal plain; savanna in south
Tropical; hot, humid, moderated by northeast trade winds; two rainy season (May to August, November to January)
Nationality: Guyanese (singular and plural)
Population: 739,903 (July 2013 est.)
Languages: English, Amerindian dialects, Creole, Caribbean Hindustani (a dialect of Hindi), Urdu
Protestant 30.5% (Pentecostal 16.9%, Anglican 6.9%, Seventh-Day Adventist 5%, Methodist 1.7%), Hindu 28.4%, Roman Catholic 8.1%, Jehovah’s Witnesses 1.1%, Muslim 7.2%, other Christian 17.7%, other 4.3%, none 4.3% (2002 census)
The Guyanese economy exhibited moderate economic growth in recent years and is based largely on agriculture and extractive industries. The economy is heavily dependent upon the export of six commodities—sugar, gold, bauxite, shrimp, timber, and rice—which represent nearly 60% of the country's GDP and are highly susceptible to adverse weather conditions and fluctuations in commodity prices.
Guyana is one of the world's poorest countries. Food shortages have created widespread malnutrition. Diseases such as beriberi and malaria have become more common as problems with sanitation have increased. About one-fourth of the people live in the capital of Georgetown. Most people live in small villages and towns along the coast. Their houses are built of wood with tin roofs and are built on stilts that are eight or ten feet (about three meters) off the ground to avoid damage.

About First Woman Governor of an Indian State
Sarjoni Naidu was a freedom fighter. She played an important role in the independence campaign of the country. She was born in a Bengali Family in Hyderabad state on 13 February 1879. She died as governor of Uttar Pradesh.
What is the Governor of a State?
A governor of a state is the highest government post. As governor, they are considered as the head of state but most powers and responsibilities are given to the CM of a state. Whereas, in Union Territories of India, the governor is a head post and holds major power in comparison to the CM.
Who was The First Woman Governor of an Indian State?
Sarojini Naidu was the first Indian woman to become the governor of Uttar Pradesh. This was the first time when a woman was chaired as governor of an Indian state. She died due to a heart attack.
- Who was the First Governor General of India?
- Who is The First Woman President of India?
- How Many Times has India won the Cricket World Cup (ODI)?
Sarojini Naidu was the first governor of Uttar Pradesh after independence. So, technically she was the first governor of UP also.
Sucheta Kripalani was the first woman CM of a state in India. She became the first woman chief minister of Uttar Pradesh in 1963.

We will be able to download new skills into our brains like the characters in the movie ,, The Matrix", this will become a reality in surt time, say scientists!
Carrie-Anne Moss and Keanu Reeves in the movie "The Matrix" gained superpower just by simply connecting to a computer program that taught them new skills.
Learning martial arts, how to fly an airplane, or how to speak a foreign language without even being awake, is about to become a reality, the researchers tell us.
Researchers at Boston University and atr Computational Neuroscience Laboratories in Kyoto, Japan, believe that in the future learning new skills could only mean sitting in front of a computer screen, waiting for them to be "loaded" into our brains.
They studied how a machine works through functional magnetic resonance (FMR) can "induce" a person's knowledge through the visual cortex, sending signals to change their pattern of brain activity.
No medication should be taken and the subject should not even be awake, he or she will simply change the pattern of brain activity according to a "target" model such as that of a famous footballer or an international chess master.
Lead author Takeo Watanabe of Boston University says:,, Visual areas in the cortex of adults are plastic enough to provoke perceptive visual learning."
The researchers know that this technique works because the FMR volunteers were subjected to visual skill tests, and their results compared to those of people who did not follow the same treatment, were overly good.
In the film's trilogy, "Matrix", several characters learn new skills by simply being connected directly to a computer, which downloads these new skills into their brains.
The day we will also be able to do this is not far away, the researchers say.
The results of these studies were published in the journal Sience.

1) The newly passed Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) takes up 1,016 pages, whereas the original Elementary & Secondary Art of 1965 was just 32 pages long.
2) When asked how optimistic ASCD readers are that ESSA will help failing schools and help close the achievement gap, 38% said they’re not very optimistic, 24% are not at all optimistic, and 20% are only somewhat optimistic.
3) The U.S. Department of Education, formed back in 1980, now has 4,400 employees and a $68 billion budget!
4) Only about 50% of schools that received money in the third round of Obama’s School Improvement Grant program improved; the other 50% expereienced unchanged achievement results or actually worse oucomes. SIG started out with a $3 billion budget from his American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009, aka the Stimulus.
5) When asked how best to encourage great principals to stay in their jobs longer, 34% of ASCD readers said, “provide more time for teacher observations and feedback; 27% said “provide professional networks to engage with like practitioners; and 27% said providing “ongoing transformative development.”
Such interesting facts! Number 4 was surprising. Thanks for keeping us informed.

The crucifixion of Jesus Christ is one of the most documented events in history, in both religious and secular books. We now live in the year AD 2007, the Year of Our Lord 2007. Two criminals were crucified, one on each side of Jesus. The Bible says that we are all like criminals, in the sight of God. The Bible clearly records the reactions of the two criminals to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who was crucified between them.
“There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left. Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, ‘If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.’
But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying,’ Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due rewards of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.’ Then he said to Jesus, ‘Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise’,” (Luke 23:32, 33, 39-43.)
Today one of the thieves is in Hell, and will always be there. He had an inappropriate reaction to Jesus Christ. The other thief is now in Heaven, and will be there forever. He looked at Jesus Christ, recognised that He was God, and the he, the thief, was sinful. The reaction of the second thief was quite different from that of the first. As a result, he went to Heaven, whilst the first thief did not, and is now in Hell.
In this book we have presented the clear Biblical guidelines to become a true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, beginning with a genuine spiritual birth. It is the sincere desire of the authors of this book the reaction of you, the reader, will be like that of the second thief.
This is why this book was written.


Today, Americans are celebrating Veterans Day and honoring all who have served in the U.S. military. The date November 11 marked the end of World War I in 1918, and people in many countries honor the day as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day, remembering those who fought in that Great War. In the U.S., in 1954 President Eisenhower formally designated November 11 as the day to honor all military veterans in the U.S.
I am especially proud of my dad who served as a paratrooper in the U.S. Army and was part of the occupation forces in Japan after World War II.
When the U.S. entered World War II Dad was still in school, but after finishing high school he joined the U.S. Army, serving in the 188th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 11th Airborne Division. The 11th was chosen by General Douglas MacArthur to lead the Allied forces in occupying Japan, and Dad was stationed in the city of Sendai, located northeast of Tokyo on the island of Honshu. There he worked for the Far East Network of the Armed Forces Radio Service.
During the Cold War era he served in the Army Reserve and later was a Captain in the U.S. Air Force Reserve.
This photo was taken in 2007 when Dad was almost 80 years old. (He now is 92 and still looks much younger than his age.) He is standing in the Freedom Garden of the Northeast Georgia History Center.
The Freedom Garden is a living tribute to all American veterans, and includes a Circle of Honor which recognizes local veterans by name and includes their military rank, branch of service and years in service. This information is inscribed on granite pillars that are titled by wars and periods of history. There are also special pillars for groupings of family members that served whether in the same or different periods of service. Dad made sure his name and the names of his two brothers were inscribed on a pillar. Sadly both brothers have now passed away.
Happy Veterans Day to all who have served in the U.S. military. Happy Veterans Day, Dad! I am grateful for your service to our country.

What a lovely tribute, your Dad is looking very fit in that photo I’m glad to read he is still well.
Thank you, Charlotte.

Latest study shown by Nautical Archaeology Society in UK (Jun 2013) shows that wreck diving industry – if it is maintained continuously – offers prolonged benefit to the local inhabitant. It is estimated that in every visit one diver spends at least 60 Pounds sterling/diver/day. Provided that the average of 850 visits to the Coronation wreck benefits 42,557 Pounds sterling in 2012, it is believed that wreck diving industry will sustainably transfuse fresh money to the local community. Other study in Texas by Robert Ditton et.al. (Texas A&M University – 2002) shows that wreck diving and artificial reefs dive spots in Texas part of Gulf of Mexico yields 162 USD / diver / day to the local residents. Another study from Johns et.al (2003) in South Florida shows that wreck diving contributes 204 USD / diver / day to the local community.
By having such figures as shown above it is also expected that wreck diving in Morotai also benefits about 150 – 210 USD / diver / day to the Morotai residents (including Dive Center itself). However from the visitors who experienced wreck diving in Morotai (from October 2013 – January 2014) they spends approximately 101 USD / diver / day. This number already includes accommodation, meals, and local transportation in Morotai.
Aside from economical value, wreck diving in Morotai poses significant threat: thievery, non-responsible diver behavior, as well as natural decay of the wrecks. Due to no local regulation establishment to protect Morotai Sea, the wreck would not be guaranteed to be the main attraction in the future. Despite the effort is conducted by Shark Diving Indonesia to encourage local community to participate in diving and marine tourism, the government involvement is much more needed, to maintain the Wreck Sites as our legacy.
A comprehensive survey will be conducted in February 2014 to mapping the sites precisely in order to maintain the wreck position and condition for a sustainable wreck diving activity. Shark Diving Indonesia together with the student scientist from University take part in all effort to salvage the wreck site in Morotai.


What Is Process Control?
Process control is the management of inputs to ensure a uniform output, no matter how many times a process is repeated. This can involve everything from water purification procedures to landing space shuttles safely and successfully. In process control, principles of statistics and engineering are applied to a process to ensure regularity and repeatability. Automated systems are capable of exerting process control and can be programmed for various advanced functions.
Technicians very clearly define an outcome in process control, such as a finished product or a successful aircraft landing. This process may require batches; only one aircraft lands at once, for example. It can also be continuous in nature. At an ice cream manufacturing facility, for example, the facility can keep pumping out ice cream continuously, and does not need to take a break between batches.
Awareness of an outcome allows the company to put measures in place to control the process, and to ensure that the outcome will be reliable. The ice cream manufacturer needs controlled temperatures for food safety and quality reasons, for example. It also needs ingredients, personnel to operate the equipment, and supplies ready to package the ice cream for sale. All of these become components of process control.
Some process control can be highly automated. The programming can also teach a system how to compensate for minor problems before alerting technicians. In the ice cream company, thermostats measure temperatures and control chillers. When they detect a temperature spike, they can increase the activity of the chillers, but may send an alarm if the temperature rises above a certain setting. In this case, the system controls the temperature unless a problem arises and a technician needs to be present to address the issue.
The application of statistical analysis and charts to a process can all be elements of process control. Technicians use this analysis to see where processes deviate, and to determine how to prevent such deviations in the future. Their analysis can also provide important information about timing that may play a role in handling orders for products, facility scheduling, and other processes.
Quality assessors may review the outcome to determine whether it is consistent and reliable. They can also initiate audits at any step of the process if they have concerns about safety or reliability. As systems start to break down, processes can become sloppy, and retrofitting along with other procedures may be necessary to restore consistency.

Religious principles and beliefs could have a significant impact on both our personal and professional life, affecting the choices we make, how we relate to others, and how we approach our work. While for some people religion serves as a moral compass to help them make decisions, for others it serves as a source of support, inspiration, and motivation.
Religious ethics could be beneficial in work, but they could also cause problems and conflicts. For instance, a worker’s religious convictions might conflict with corporate rules or procedures, or they might unintentionally offend or alienate coworkers who have different values.
It is crucial for people to reflect on their personal values and how they relate to their religious beliefs in order to negotiate these issues. They should also think about how they may respectfully and inclusively incorporate these values into their job.
This could involve being conscious of how others may interpret one’s behavior and words, as well as making an effort to interact and work along with coworkers from various backgrounds and viewpoints. It can also entail looking for ways to apply one’s principles and religious convictions to positively influence the workplace and society at large, such as through volunteerism, altruistic endeavors, or ethical business practices.
In the workplace, it’s crucial to respect and acknowledge the diversity of ideas and values. It’s also necessary to avoid forcing one’s religious beliefs on others or using them as a justification for exclusion or discrimination.
Ultimately, religious morals could be a powerful force for good in the workplace, but they require a thoughtful and conscientious approach that is respectful of the beliefs and values of others. By reflecting on one’s personal values and striving to integrate them into the workplace in a positive and inclusive way, individuals can help create a more harmonious and ethical workplace culture that benefits everyone.

Honey badgers are solitary. When they do meet, males have a loose hierarchy where older males outrank younger ones. Small groups of two to five males may stick together to look for females.
Like many mustelids, honey badgers communicate using smell. Their noses are highly sensitive, and they use secretions from their anal glands to repel predators and mark their territory. They can even use these stink bombs to stun a swarm of bees! With ears enclosed within thick skin near the back of the head, honey badgers have difficulty hearing long-range sounds through the air. However, they’re adept at picking up hints of vibrations and sounds coming from underground and inside trees. Vocal communication is important. Males have a “rattle-grunt” they use in aggressive situations, young use a high-pitched “squeal-rattle” when interacting with older males, mothers and cubs have a purr, and all honey badgers use a “rattle-roar” to intimidate predators.
Since they are active at night, honey badgers rest during the day, curled up in a ball to protect their heads and bellies. They are not territorial and often select a new burrow for resting each day. They can dig one themselves, use an available tree trunk, cave, or termite mound, or take over a burrow used by an aardvark, fox, or mongoose. When awake, the honey badger seldom picks fights it can’t win. Thick, loose skin around its neck allows it to rotate its head and bite any attacker. The skin also protects it from bee stings and snakebites (they also may have some immunity to venom), and a stink gland at the base of the tail emits an offensive smell to keep away unwanted company.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists honey badgers as a species of lower risk, due to their ability to adapt to and survive in a wide range of situations. Primary threats come from humans. Unfortunately, honey badgers feel just as free to help themselves to farmers’ beehives as they do to wild ones, which causes tension between humans and honey badgers. They are also sometimes hunted for bush meat and for use in traditional medicine.


Use Ping to Find a Path’s MTU
On occasion, you may want to find the MTU along a path. This might be to troubleshoot a WAN connection for example.
This is quite easy with ping.
How it Works
There are two parts to this; Setting the Don’t Fragment (DF) bit, and setting the packet size.
Here is an example of how to set ping’s packet size (in Windows; Other systems are similar):
The ‘l’ flag sets the size of the packet. Here, we’re setting it to 2000 bytes, which should be much larger than the MTU in my network.
The packet is still getting through to the destination due to fragmentation.
Now we can use the ‘f’ flag to set the DF bit:
Now we get a different result. We’re forcing routers along the path to drop the packet rather than fragment it.
This causes an ICMP error message to be returned, which we see here. Any time we see this error, the packet is larger than the path’s MTU
The flags shown here are for ping in Windows. Different flags will be used in Linux and other Operating Systems
Find the MTU
Now that we know how this works we can find the MTU using trial and error.
We lower the packet size until we find a value that doesn’t need to be fragmented.
We’re looking for the largest packet size that won’t return an error. Here, we can see that a packet size of 1473 is too large, but 1472 bytes is not.
On my network, 1472 bytes is the MTU.

Researchers Using Ultrasound Technology To Track Type 1 Diabetes
AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) – Ultrasound technology has been around for a long time. Most people associate it with seeing their baby in utero, but developments in contrast agents and in the technology itself is allowing medical personnel to get clearer, more precise images from deeper in the body.
"My overall research interests are basically, how the pancreas, or the parts of the pancreas that controls insulin production are working, and how it becomes dysfunctional in Type 1 diabetes," said Richard Benninger, an associate professor of bioengineering in pediatrics at the University of Colorado, and a principle investigator at the Barbara Davis Center.
Benninger and PhD student, David Ramirez, are using ultrasound to track changing blood flow in the pancreas. An increase in blood flow is an indication of inflammation, a key indicator of the onset of Type 1 diabetes.
"We did some measurements in various pre-clinical models of diabetes, and we saw some very exciting results," Benninger explained.
The research has far-reaching implications. It uses a relatively cheap, common technology to potentially help doctors better diagnose and track treatments of Type 1 diabetes.
"We're on the very cutting edge here, so it's just nice that I get to live that," Ramirez said.
This research project is of particular importance to him.
"I was diagnosed when I was ten years old, and I like to think that my diabetes is of drinking age now," Ramirez said with a laugh.
In the 21 years he's lived with the disease, he's learned how to balance his blood sugar with exercise and activity.
"I think about it every hour of every day, that's just the reality of it," he told CBS4.
In the time he's worked on this research, he's learned the biology behind the disease, with an eye toward one day preventing it from developing altogether.
"It is hard because you kind of see your own mortality every day, but the fact is, it will make me a stronger student, a stronger patient with Type 1, and, I think, it will make me a better person."

And with COVID still spreading in our communities, it can be difficult to tell the difference between typical allergy symptoms and something more serious.
But there's no reason to panic, said Dr. Puja Rajani. As an allergist at Novant Health Pediatric Allergy & Immunology, Rajani explained a few key differences.
Fever is one of the biggest differentiators between the two, Rajani said. COVID can cause a fever; seasonal allergies cannot.
If you have a known history of allergies, consider this: If you do not have a fever, “try a stepwise approach with using your usual treatments, such as long-acting antihistamines or nasal sprays,” Rajani said.
Another major distinction is that allergies will come with some level of itchiness. Itchy or watery eyes are common signs of allergies, Rajani said.
Alternatively, someone with COVID may experience symptoms such as:
- Dry cough.
- Shortness of breath.
- New loss of taste or smell.
3. Sore throat or body aches
A sore throat or body aches could be an indication it’s something more serious.
"A quick onset of aches and pains, fatigue, exhaustion or weakness is unlikely with allergies,” Rajani said. “While allergies can cause fatigue, it is usually very gradual, not ‘hitting you like a ton of bricks’ as has been described with viral infections.”
4. Mucus (Hint: The color matters)
If you’re producing mucus, it’s likely allergies or cold and flu symptoms, and not a COVID infection. A runny nose and mucus is typically clear in allergy sufferers, Rajani said.
Yellow or green-colored mucus likely points to a viral condition, such as the flu.
The dreaded fluIt’s estimated that 60,000 hospitalizations each year could be avoided if more people got the vaccine, said Dr. Charles Bregier, Novant Health medical director of corporate health. And the more people who get the flu shot, the more effective it is overall.
“It's the perfect storm brewing out there. If COVID remains bad and it’s a bad flu season, it could completely overwhelm our nation’s health care system,"

National Forests in North Carolina
North Carolina has four beautiful National Forests: Croatan, Nantahala, Pisgah, and Uwharrie. These National Forests range from the mountains to the Atlantic Ocean.
North Carolina's National Forests are home to more than 5,700 miles of streams and 38,000 acres of lakes offering both warmwater and coldwater fishing. With that bounty of water it's no surprise that waterfalls are main attractions on these National Forests.
North Carolina's National Forests are a summer home for more than 63 kinds of neotropical birds, such as the red-eyed vireo and indigo bunting. Neotropical migratory birds account for 340 of the 600 species of birds that breed and nest in North America. These birds migrate each fall to warmer climates in tropical regions of Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
Long distance trails cross every National Forest in North Carolina, providing many miles of trails for hikers and backpackers. These trails include, the Appalachian National Scenic Trail (AT), the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail, the Mountains-to-the-Sea Trail, the Bartram Trail, the Uwharrie Trail, and the Neusiok Trail.
These forests also offer a number of horse trails. If you want someone to show you around these forests, consider a guided trip with a Forest Service-approved outfitter. The recreation opportunities are unlimited within these lush forests.


EMIT Loaded Into SpaceX Falcon 9 Trunk Before Transport
The Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) mission instrument (right) sits in the "trunk" that will travel aboard SpaceX's 25th cargo resupply mission – planned for June 7, 2022 – to the International Space Station. This image was taken May 3, 2022, at SpaceX's Dragonland facility in Florida. Developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California and launching from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, EMIT will map the world's mineral-dust sources, gathering information about particle color and composition as it orbits over the planet's dry, sparsely vegetated regions.
After being mounted on the space station, EMIT will collect measurements of 10 important surface minerals – hematite, goethite, illite, vermiculite, calcite, dolomite, montmorillonite, kaolinite, chlorite, and gypsum – in arid regions between 50-degree south and north latitudes in Africa, Asia, North and South America, and Australia. The data EMIT collects will help scientists better understand the role of airborne dust particles in heating and cooling Earth's atmosphere on global and regional scales.
The white covering will prevent the spread of the heat the instrument generates, keeping it from affecting the space station and nearby instruments.
EMIT will be one of two pieces of equipment transported to the space station in the external cargo "trunk" on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket. The other (left) is a Battery Charge/Discharge Unit.

Antibiotic resistance is a pressing global and planetary health challenge. Links between climate change, antibiotic use and the emergence of antibiotic resistance have been well documented, but less attention has been given to the impact(s) of earth systems on specific bacterial livestock diseases at a more granular level. Understanding the precise impacts of climate change on livestock health – and in turn the use of antibiotics to address that ill-health – is important in providing an evidence base to tackle such impacts and to develop practical, implementable and locally acceptable solutions within and beyond current antibiotic stewardship programmes. In this paper, we set out the case for better integration of earth scientists and their specific disciplinary skill set (specifically, problem-solving with incomplete/fragmentary data; the ability to work across four dimensions and at the interface between the present and deep/geological time) into planetary health research. We then discuss a methodology that makes use of risk mapping, a common methodology in earth science but less frequently used in health science, to map disease risk against changing climatic conditions at a granular level. This will enable predictions of future disease risk and risk impacts based on predicted future climate conditions, and thus provide an evidence base for planetary health activists to influence policy and develop mitigations. Our case study – of climate conditions’ impact on livestock health in Karnataka, India – clearly evidences the benefit of integrating earth scientists into planetary health research.

Narendra Modi's Committed: Clean up the country
The Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi in his maiden Independence Day Speech committed to a “Swachh Bharat” by 2019 as fitting tribute to 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. He emphasized on providing of toilets for all schools by Aug 2015 and for making India “Open Defection Free” by 2019.
The Chief Minister Shree Vijaybhai Rupani – One important aspect of swachhtaa Abhiyaan is, making the state 100% open-defecation free. Open-defecation leads to unhygienic and unhealthy conditions, exposing the people, specially the poor, to public health risks. Government of Gujarat is dedicated to the cause of providing in-house toilet facilities to every household across the state.
On the focus on sanitation and terms from the fact that people have a right to have basic facilities such as safe drinking water, sanitation, clean surroundings and information on hygiene. Human excreta is the cause of enteric disease such as cholera, dysenty, typhoid, viral infections, hepatitis, hook worm etc. The safe disposal of human excreta should be the primary objectives of improving situations. The Construction of toilet has been neglected mainly on the account of lack of priority by everyone resulting in matter of great concern for maintain health and good quality of life.


The city of Orlando, Fla. Is partnering with local environmentalists to investigate what is causing the city’s plastic pollution and find a way to reduce it.
The Circularity Assessment Protocol (CAP) study will be conducted by scientists at the Ocean Conservancy in DC and the University of Georgia.
J.P. Brooker, Director of Florida Conversation, says that the goal of the study is to determine how they can reduce plastic waste and protect local water ways.
“What starts in Orlando, ends up in the Everglades, water-wise and or ends up in the St. Johns River and out through Jacksonville. And highlighting those connections is really important," said Brooker. "And what we're announcing has a lot to do with the connection between Florida cities and marine debris that ends up in our oceans.”
The ongoing issue with plastic pollution needs to be addressed and reversed to prevent the further threat of toxic algae blooms and manatee deaths throughout Florida.
“They're consuming that plastic in water that they drink. They're consuming it in beer, in fact, and so people in Orlando are certainly drinking water and drinking beer, and they're also taking in plastics on account of that," said Brooker. "And so by having a better understanding of where the plastics are coming from, we can keep the plastics from entering our ecosystem and ultimately entering our bodies and potentially having negative impacts on our health.”


Central nervous system (CNS) astrocytes are glial cells performing crucial tasks encompassing energy metabolism, neurotransmission, ion and water stable levels, and immune defense and control local blood flow/oxygen levels. Arising from neural stem cells, astrocytes differentiate into subtypes that vary according to animal species. Human cerebral cortex astrocytes are sturdier and cytologically and functionally more complex, control wider domains, and spread calcium signals more quickly than their rodents’ counterparts. They actively partake in CNS homeostasis maintenance and functioning by teaming up with their client neurons, other glial cell types, and cerebrovascular cells. Alterations of astrocytes’ activities deeply impact on age-related chronic ailments like Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the commonest senile dementia; AD involves the growing accumulation of amyloid-β peptides (Aβs) and hyperphosphorylated Tau proteins the astrocytes, and neurons supply following the interaction of their calcium-sensing receptors (CaSRs) with exogenous Aβs. The activated Aβ∙CaSR signaling triggers a self-propagating mechanism that spreads the neuropathology among adjacent and far away astrocytes and their neuronal clients causing neurons’ death. CaSR antagonists or calcilytics suppress these noxious effects in vitro. Hence, calcilytics are potential therapeutics that could halt the spread of AD neuropathology and safeguard the patients’ neuronal viability, cognition, memory, and ultimately life.

Heavy rains in California may have tricked us into thinking that our water problems are over. In fact, the heavy rains and aftermath of a 5 year drought are really indicators that the problems are getting worse, and water conservation should now be a way of life in California. Some of the many impacts of the drought include the following:
California saw an increase in water prices and due to a lack of hydroelectricity, the state actually emitted an increase in 10% in CO2 emissions.
The Central Valley water aquifers during the past four years lost a third of what they did during the previous 50 years.
The heavy rains also create new problems: we have to find improved ways to manage the huge increase in melting snow and flooding. Drought or deluge, all Californians have to incorporate water management as a way of life.
Greywater catchment systems and rainwater harvesting systems are great way to save on your water bill and reduce water consumption. Dig Cooperative can also help you with flooding by building rain gardens and proper drainage for heavy rains. Check our our services for our full scope of water management services Dig Cooperative provides.

The heavy rains makes people think that our water problem is over... and that couldn’t be further from the truth.


The water content of asparagus is around 94%—the other 6% consists mainly of carbohydrates and fiber—making it a filling food with very few calories. Asparagus is a good source of fiber, providing about 4 grams per cup. Asparagus is also rich in vitamins A, E, and K, iron, and antioxidants, and a serving provides one-third of the folic acid the average person needs daily. Though green asparagus is considered the most nutritious and higher in fiber, white and purple varieties come in close behind. Purple asparagus has about 20% more sugar than the others, but it provides antioxidants.
Here is the nutrition information for 100 grams (about a half cup) of green asparagus:
The main plant compounds in asparagus are:
- Anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are flavonoid compounds that are responsible for the deep purple color of purple asparagus. In addition to acting as antioxidants and fighting free radicals, anthocyanins may offer anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-cancer benefits.
- Phenols. Phenols are antioxidants. Phenol-based compounds have been found to have some cancer prevention properties.
- Vitamins K and E. These antioxidants help the body fight off “free radicals,” or oxygen particles that cells produce as waste. Free radicals can damage the DNA of nearby cells, leading to cancer, heart disease, and other health problems. The antioxidants in asparagus help remove these free radicals from your system.
- Vitamin K. Vitamin K helps blood clot properly, and a vitamin K deficiency can lead to problems like uncontrolled bleeding after an injury. Consuming enough vitamin K through vegetables like asparagus can help make sure your blood clots like it’s supposed to.
- Iron. Iron is an essential mineral. If you don’t have enough iron, your body can’t make enough healthy oxygen-carrying red blood cells.
- Folic acid. Folic acid helps prevent anemia, tingling hands and feet, and even birth defects.

Elizabeth Bichier des Ages was born at La Blanc, France, in 1773. She was Christianed Joan Elizabeth but commonly called by her second name. Educated in a Poitiers convent, she waged a successful fight to save family property from the National Assembly after the death of her father.
In 1797, St. Andrew Fournet encouraged Elizabeth to devote her life to education and the care of the sick. She lived for a whole with the Carmelites and the Society of Providence in order to prepare herself for the religious life.
Under Fournet’s direction, Elizabeth was put in charge of group of women dedicated to Catholic education and care for the sick and aged. This group eventually became the Congregation of the Daughters of the Cross, which by 1830 had established sixty houses in France. At her suggestion, a community of men was formed into the Priests of the Sacred Heart of Betherran. Elizabeth died on August 26, 1838, and was canonized in 1947 by Pope Pius XII.
PRAYER: Lord, our God, grant that Your faithful spouse, St. Elizabeth, may enkindle in us the flame of Divine love that she enkindled in other virgins for the everlasting glory of Your Church. Amen.


National Bank Note Types - Series 1882 Brown Back
The Act of July 12, 1882 allowed existing National Banks to receive a 20 year extension, and also called for a new series of note designs to be issued. Over the next 40 years, there were 3 distinct types of Series 1882 bank notes issued: 1882 Brown Back, 1882 Date Back and 1882 Value Back. Brown Backs are the most common type of the surviving Series 1882 bank notes, with 63% of the total notes reported. Value Backs are the rarest type with 12% of the total Series 1882 notes reported, and Date Backs are in the middle with 25%.
Brown Backs were the first of the Series 1882 Types to be issued, and were so named due to their backs printed in brown. They were issued to newly chartered National Banks, and to replace the current Original Series and Series 1875 notes as existing National banks extended their charters for 20 years upon expiration. Brown Backs were first issued in August of 1882, and discontinued in 1908 as a result of the Aldrich-Vreeland Act. Series 1882 Brown Backs were issued in denominations of $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100, and in plate combinations of 5-5-5-5, 10-10-10-10, 10-10-10-20 and 50-100.
Following are scans of the back of a Brown Back note, and the face of each of the 5 denominations issued:

In the heart of a dense forest, a ranger named Jack patrolled the area, watching out for any signs of danger or disturbance. He had been doing this job for years, and he knew the forest like the back of his hand.
One day, while on his regular patrol, Jack heard a loud noise coming from a distance. Curiosity got the best of him, and he decided to investigate. As he approached the source of the noise, he realized it was an elephant calf crying for help.
Upon closer inspection, Jack realized that the calf had gotten separated from its mother and was now lost in the forest. The poor baby elephant was alone, scared, and vulnerable to predators that roamed the area.
Jack knew he had to act fast. He contacted the park authorities and requested their assistance in rescuing the baby elephant. However, they informed him that due to the rugged terrain and the size of the calf, it would be challenging to transport it out of the forest.
With no other options, Jack took matters into his own hands. He decided to carry the elephant calf on his shoulders and transport it to safety. The calf weighed around 200 pounds, and it was a difficult task for Jack to carry it all the way.
However, Jack was determined to save the elephant’s life. He took frequent breaks and kept the calf hydrated during the journey. The calf seemed to understand that Jack was trying to help and didn’t show any signs of aggression.
After several hours of walking, Jack finally reached the outskirts of the forest, where the authorities were waiting for him. They took the calf into their custody and gave it proper care and treatment.
The ranger had saved the baby elephant’s life, and the calf was reunited with its mother after a few days. News of Jack’s heroic act spread like wildfire, and he was hailed as a hero in the community. His selflessness and dedication to saving the elephant calf’s life had won everyone’s hearts.
From that day forward, Jack was known as the “Elephant Savior” and continued to serve as a ranger, patrolling the forest and ensuring the safety of all its inhabitants.


Express toll lanes (ETLs) are optional freeway lanes that charge variable tolls to commuters who use them. The purpose of the tolls is to prevent the lanes from getting overcrowded. The price in the lanes changes to match the traffic demand. High-occupancy vehicles using the toll lanes generally pay lower rates or no toll at all. Buses and vanpools use the lanes at no charge.
Express Toll Lanes Reduce Congestion
- The variable toll adjusts based on traffic congestion.
- Most express toll lanes are managed to keep traffic flowing at 45 miles per hour or more during rush hours.
- Today, 60 express toll lane projects across the country are providing commuters with faster and more reliable alternative to congested highway lanes.
Express Toll Lanes Are Sustainable
- Variable tolling is able to offer drivers and transit vehicles a congestion-free travel option even when traffic volume in the general lanes increases.
- Since ETLs handle more vehicles per hour during peak periods than regular lanes do, regions with express toll lanes need to add fewer regular highway lanes.
- The same gas-powered vehicle going 45 miles per hour in a toll lane generates fewer greenhouse gas emissions than it does in stop-and-go traffic in general lanes.
Express Toll Lanes Are an Important Transit Solution
- Express buses using ETLs offer faster, more reliable service than buses in congested lanes.
- ETLs provide a semi-dedicated right-of-way that buses use free of charge.
- Transit agencies operate more buses that transport more passengers in corridors with express toll lanes than in corridors without ETLs.
Express Toll Lanes Are Optional
- No one is required to use an expres toll lane.
- No one is required to pay a toll unless they choose to use the toll lane.
- Most commuters tend to use ETLs for time-sensitive trips, such as going to the airport or picking up a child from daycare before late fees begin.
- People choose ETLs when they believe the value of their time savings exceeds the toll.


In the Geography Department we develop an understanding of the dynamic and interconnected world of the past, present and future.
Geography at Shrewsbury House aims to inspire pupils to understand the world around them, while also showing them their place in it and fostering values of global citizenship. The Geography Department has set up an Eco Committee which has worked closely with the School Council to raise awareness of issues of environmental sustainability in and around the school and on a global scale. ‘Geography in the News’ is a focus throughout our studies and students are encouraged to take an active interest in current affairs to support their learning in the classroom. Boys develop skills to analyse and interpret data sources, form opinions on geographical issues and experience fieldwork. During Year 8 boys undertake a project that explores the ‘Changing Face of the UK High Street.’
The study of Physical and Human Geography topics enable pupils to develop an awareness, empathy and balanced view of our ever-changing world.
Current topics include:
- Locational knowledge and map skills
- Plate tectonics- earthquakes and volcanoes
- Rivers and coasts
- Weather and climate
- Migration and population
- Global and UK challenges
- Contrasting environments
- Country study units include Russia, Australia and China
Other key learning
The department runs field trips to West Wittering to Kingston town centre for data collection and coursework. There are also extension opportunities such as rivers and coasts model making and postcard competitions.

Nutritional Genomics is divided into two different -but collaborating- sister areas. These areas are, in fact, two sides of the same coin:
Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics.
Both focus on the interaction between nutrition, genes, and health outcomes. However, there are important conceptual differences in the information, and we can obtain information from each of them.
Starting from 2001, after the human genome was first fully sequenced, valuable new bodies of data were made available to scientists of all disciplines to explore the interactions between our genetic and genomic information with environmental factors such as diet.
ONE SIZE does not FIT ALL
In this new Nutrigenomics era, the importance of genes in human nutrition has been in the spotlight. The focus of the nutritional field has shifted towards detailed molecular studies of nutrition that focus more on preventing complex and chronic diseases, rather than solely nutritional deficiencies.
Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics aims at:
- increasing your awareness and perception
- updating your health-related knowledge
- Make sure you treat yourself as unique as it is.
- early non-invasive prevention through nutrition
- contributing to public health
Prevention is always better than treatment


FOOD SAFETY BASICS: THE FOUR Cs
The Four Cs: Clean, Cook, Chill, Cross Contamination
In response to COVID-19, restaurants are facing a push for stricter and more transparent food safety practices. As you introduce new tools and procedures into your workflow, it’s essential not to let core food safety procedures slip. In other words, don’t forget about the Four Cs of Food Safety.
Clean: Keeping your hands, surfaces, utensils and food clean is the most effective way you can prevent the spread of harmful illnesses & outbreaks. Make sure you wash your hands for 20 seconds, scrub produce and thoroughly clean food surfaces before and after you use them.
Cook: Using food thermometers, make sure food is cooked until it reaches the proper internal temperatures to kill any germs.
Chill: Make sure you store your food in properly cooled places to make sure food doesn’t collect harmful bacteria.
Cross Contamination: During your prep and cooking, keep raw meat, seafood and poultry away from any fresh produce.
Transitioning to the new COVID-19 world might feel overwhelming. However, by focusing on the Four Cs, you’re already doing some of the work. Are you interested in supplementing your existing efforts with hand scanners that empower you to monitor and improve your handwashing? Just click the button below!


Thursday, March 3rd, 2022 (The Saka Year of 1944), Hindus throughout Indonesia celebrated Nyepi. Bali stopped for a full 24-hour from all activities and gave space for the universe to take a rest for a while. One of the goals is saving energy.
Fact About Energy
One of the energy that is needed by humans is the presence of electrical energy. To this day, electrical energy is still controlled by the National Electricity Enterprise (PLN). Automatically, PLN as a state-owned company is responsible for the continuity and resilience of electrical energy. Unfortunately, there are still power plants that require diesel fuel which in fact is a fuel produced from fossil energy which is not environmentally friendly and will deplete soon.
It is undeniable that energy is a basic need in modern society. Electricity, fuel, and gas have become the main energy in needs. The need for electrical energy in the Province of Bali can be seen from its peak load which reaches 684 MW, of which 559 MW or 81% of which is supplied by fuel generators. The average consumption of fuel to generate electricity reaches 2.5 million liters per day (detik.com), PT PLN (Persero) noted that in early 2022, electricity consumption in Bali increased from 200 MW to 270 MW, which mainly came from the Banyuwangi Substation (GI), East Java.
Take A Break To Save Energy
Despite the increasing demand for electricity and fuel, The island of Bali is able to do so through a religious pathway. On Nyepi Day, Balinese people meditate in silence. Through the Catur Brata Penyepian procession which includes: AMATI GENI (Not igniting any fire, light and controlling anger), and AMATI LELUNGAN (not traveling or going outside of the house). This is an effort to save electrical energy and reduce fuel emissions carried out throughout the island of Bali.It is hard to imagine, if this country does save energy like what the Balinese people do on Nyepi Day. It can be implemented simultaneously throughout Indonesia and even throughout the world. How many Mega Watts of electrical energy and fuel emissions can be saved. Dare to try?
