एक बार फिर बुधवार को अपनी समस्या लेकर पहुंचे। गांधी वनिता आश्रम में चलाए जा रहे तीन सेंटरों में 150 के करीब बच्चे रह रहे हैं। इन पर केवल एक सुपरिंटेंडेंट लगाई गई है। यहां से कई बार लड़कियों ने भागने का प्रयास किया था। सुपरिंटेंडेंट मनजीत कौर बताती हैं कि फिलहाल उन्हें यहां पर किसी तरह की कोई समस्या नहीं है। जरूरत पड़ने पर प्रशासन के समक्ष मांग रखी जाएगी। डीसी घनश्याम थोरी बताते हैं कि अनाथ मिले आठ बच्चों को पेंशन देने के अलावा स्कूली शिक्षा व रोजगार मुहैया करवाने के लिए जिला समाज भलाई विभाग के सहयोग से मदद की जाएगी। शहर के बाल सेंटर पुलिस ने बताया कि शांति नगर झोटवाडा निवासी इशाक अली खान ने मामला दर्ज कराया है। कुछ समय पहले उसकी मुलाकात सानतुना से हुई थी। बातचीत के दौरान आरोपी ने उसे विदेश भेजने का झांसा दिया। बातों में आने पर विदेश भेजने के नाम पर आरोपी ने 2 लाख 25 हजार रुपए ले लिए। जिसके बाद उसे दिल्ली स्थित अपने मकान पर बुलाया और 70 हजार रुपए की ओर मांग की। कहे अनुसार रकम देने पर गत 15 मई को विदेश भेजने की तय हुआ। मंत्री सिंहदेव ने जिला पंचायत अध्यक्षों को</s> |
EVANSTON, Ill. --- Scientists at Northwestern University have designed synthetic molecules that promote neuron growth, a promising development that could lead to the reversal of paralysis due to spinal cord injury.
"We have created new materials that because of their chemical structure interact with cells of the central nervous system in ways that may help prevent the formation of the scar that is often linked to paralysis after spinal cord injury," said Samuel I. Stupp, Board of Trustees Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry and Medicine.
Similar to earlier experiments that promoted bone growth, the scientists now have successfully grown nerve cells using an artificial three-dimensional network of nanofibers, an important technique in regenerative medicine. The results will be published online Jan. 22 by the journal Science.
"We have shown that our scaffold selectively and rapidly directs cell differentiation, driving neural progenitor cells to become neurons and not astrocytes," said Stupp, who led the research team in Evanston. "Astrocytes are a major problem in spinal cord injury because they lead to scarring and act as a barrier to neuron repair."
The innovative scaffold is made up of nanofibers formed by peptide amphiphile molecules. The scientists' key breakthrough was designing the peptide amphiphiles so that when they self-assembled into the scaffold a specific sequence of five amino acids known to promote neuron growth were presented in enormous density on the outer surfaces.
"This was all done by design," said Stupp, who is also director of the University's Institute for Bioengineering and Nanoscience in Advanced Medicine. "By including a specific biological signal on the nanostructure we were able to customize the new materials for neurons."
In collaboration with the lab of John A. Kessler, Benjamin and Virginia T. Boshes Professor of Neurology at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Stupp and his team observed that when the peptide amphiphiles were placed in solution and combined with neural progenitor cells (which are present in the central nervous system and able to differentiate into different types of cells) the nanofiber scaffolds formed and led quickly to the selective differentiation of the cells into neurons.
In subsequent experiments, the researchers successfully delivered the peptide amphiphile solution, using a simple injection, to the site of a spinal cord injury in a laboratory rat. Upon contact with the tissue, the solution was transformed into a solid scaffold.
In addition to Stupp and Kessler, other authors on the Science paper are Gabriel A. Silva and Catherine Czeisler (lead authors), Krista L. Niece, Elia Beniash and Daniel Harrington, all from Northwestern University. The research was supported by the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Energy.

may appear to be rather obscure species, however, the oxygen, O2,
we breath is a triplet diradical. An understanding of diradical structure
and reactivity tells us that the simplistic electron pair covalent bonding
of Lewis octet theory is not the whole story. Liquid oxygen is magnetic,
a fact that can only be explained by understanding the nature of the bonding
in O2, here.
to Diradical Reaction Chemistry
Examples of diradicals include:
Methylene or carbene, CH2
Diradicals are species with
a pair of degenerate (equal energy) molecular orbitals and two electrons.
There are three possible diradical arrangements: the singlet state, the
triplet state and an unstable intermediate state.
The terms "singlet",
"doublet" and "triplet" concern the degeneracy of
the electronic state.
Degeneracy = 2S+1,
where S is the total electron spin angular momentum.

two electrons but they must be of opposite spin: the Pauli exclusion

in one orbital with the second, equal energy orbital, empty.
The two electron
spins are +1/2 and 1/2
Total electron spin angular momentum, S = 0
Degeneracy = (2*0) + 1 = 0+1 = 1 = singlet
A singlet electronic state does not give a signal in the
electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum
A simple free
radical, R, is a doublet.
Total electron spin angular momentum, S = +1/2
Degeneracy = (2*1/2) + 1 = 1+1 = 2 = doublet
A doublet electronic state gives a single ESR line, provided
there is no nuclear hyperfine splitting

A triplet electronic state gives a pair of ESR lines (provided
there is no nuclear hyperfine splitting)

Carbenes undergo addition reactions
with alkenes. The singlet and triplet states exhibit subtly different
species behave as if they have both a Lewis base (HOMO) centre and a
Lewis acid (LUMO) centre. For carbenes, nitrenes and oxenes these two
centres occur at the same atom.
Singlet carbene, CH2,
has two electrons in a Lobe-HOMO Lewis base centre and a vacant p-orbital
LUMO. The two centres react with alkenes in a concerted, single-step
manner and so give rise to stereospecific products.
undergo 1,1-addition reactions with cis-alkenes with retention
of relative stereochemical configuration:
have two non-spin paired electrons which behave as a pair of radical
These two centres
react with an alkene in a stepwise fashion. This means that molecular
rotation can occur around the "single" bond between the reactions
The result is that
triplet diradicals give stereo mixed addition products:
are often called reactive intermediates and they only exist transiently.
There are several methods of production:
Ground state oxygen, O2,
triplet diradical, a property which can explain why liquid oxygen
is paramagnetic and attracted to the poles of a magnet:
Triplet oxygen, the formal form, can be converted into singlet oxygen with UV light and a dye such as rose bengal, discussed here.
The singlet oxygen can undergo
cycloaddition reactions, for example with 1,4-dimethyl naphthalene: |
"Killer" fats are what we hear so much about recently, with large numbers of people turning to low fat diets. Little do they know, they are also decreasing their intake of the healing fats that are required for life. Improper low fat diets, useful for atherosclerosis, can kill you over the long term. Children are especially vulnerable to damage from low fat diets. To balance the one-sided view on fats, we must talk about essential fatty acids (EFAs): an adequate supply of healing fats is even more important to health than the avoidance of killer fats.
The two fatty acids that are essential to good health in humans are the omega-3 EFA called alpha-linolenic acid (α-linolenic acid or LNA) and the omega-6 EFA called linoleic acid (LA). LNA and LA are just two of many fatty acids, but these are the only ones that the body cannot produce on its own.
Like vitamins, EFAs are essential to health. Older literature, in fact, refers to them as vitamin F. Vitamins and EFAs are essential for the following reasons:
This definition of essentiality reflects the fact that essential nutrients perform key functions in our cells and tissues that the body cannot live without. While EFAs are like vitamins in their essentiality, they differ in other respects. For example, vitamins are required in very small amounts (a few mg per day) whereas EFAs are macronutrients, necessary in grams per day.
In nature's package, EFA-rich oils keep for years without spoiling. Once processed and out of that package, light, air, and heat attack EFAs. Like perishable produce, EFA-rich oils should be made with care and obtained fresh. They cannot be dried, powdered and stored for several years. Frying and deep-frying destroy EFAs by the combined effects of light, oxygen and heat, producing toxic substances that can lead to atherosclerosis and cancer.
EFA-rich oils should be made and packaged carefully in the absence of light, oxygen and heat. Frozen solid, oils remain unspoiled for a long time because freezing does not damage them. Manufacturers should ship them directly to retailers or consumers without stops along the way.
The benefits of LA (Omega-6) and LNA (Omega-3) to health come from their chemical properties. EFAs react with oxygen: EFA-rich oils such as flax, hemp and safflower were traditionally used in paints because they oxidize, dry and harden quickly when exposed to air. When fresh, these oils are valuable human foods. EFAs absorb sunlight, increasing their ability to react with oxygen by about 1,000-fold and making them very active chemically.
EFA molecules carry slight negative charges that cause them to repel one another. They spread out in all directions. This property enables EFAs to carry oil-soluble toxins from deep within the body to the skin surface for eliminations. EFAs form associations with the sulfhydryl group (cysteine) in proteins, important in reactions that make possible the one-way movement of electrons and energy on which life depends. EFAs store electric charges that produce bioelectric currents important for muscle, cell membrane and nerve functions, including the transmission of messages.
EFAs play their essential roles by:
As structural components of membranes, EFAs help form a barrier that keeps foreign molecules, viruses, yeasts, fungi and bacteria outside of cells, and keeps the cells' proteins, enzymes, genetic material and organelles (small organs) inside. They also help regulate the traffic of substances in and out of our cells via protein channels, pumps and other mechanisms.
They perform similar functions in membranes that surround organelles within our cells. EFAs fulfill many functions:
EFAs play a role in every life process in our body and life without them is impossible. When consuming an EFA-poor diet, expect a diversity of health problems.
Of approximately fifty known essential nutrients, LA (Omega-6) has the highest daily requirement. The amount needed varies with season, latitude, levels of activity and stress, nutritional state, and individual differences. Just 1-2% of calories (1 teaspoon per day) prevent signs of deficiency in most healthy adults. LA optimums are around 3-6% of calories (1 tablespoon per day), requiring about 30 IU of vitamin E to help prevent rancidity. Obese people and those eating hard fats, sugar and trans-fatty acids require more.
Nutrients essential for LA functions include magnesium, selenium, zinc, and vitamins A, carotene, B3, B6, C and E.
An adult carries about 10 kilograms of body fat, of which approximately 1 kilogram is LA. Vegetarians' bodies carry up to 25% of their body fat as LA. People with degenerative disease average only about 8% of their body fat as LA.
LNA (Omega-3, Alpha-linolenic acid) optimums range between 1-2 tsp per day, averaging 2% of daily calories. Body content in healthy people is around 2% of fat, or half a pound of LNA. LNA requires the same antioxidants, minerals and vitamins necessary for LA functions.
Omega-6 To Omega-3 Ratio
Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratios in healthy populations range from 1:2.5 (Inuit diets) to 6:1 (other traditional diets). Since 1850, Omega-3 consumption has decreased to one-sixth its traditional level, resulting in an Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio of 20:1 (contemporary polyunsaturated oil diets), which is associated with degenerative conditions.
Long-term exclusion of Omega-6 oils and excessive use of flax oil can result in a reverse imbalance of the one commonly seen, i.e. too much Omega-3. They should remain in balance. If a person has cancer, inflammatory conditions, or needs to lose weight, Omega-3 should be favored. Otherwise, an Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio of between 2:1 and 3:1 is recommended.
Flax, our richest source of Omega-3, quickly replenishes a long-standing Omega-3 deficiency. 1-2 tbsp per day of good quality flax oil for a few months should suffice. Cold-water fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring) are a good source of the metabolites EPA and DHA. There is now an algae-derived oil that has both DHA and EPA, suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Fish obtain their DHA and EPA ultimately from the consumption of algae.
Hemp seed oil has a remarkable fatty acid profile, being high in the desirable omega-3s and also delivering some GLA, which is absent from the fats we normally eat. Hemp oil contains 57% linoleic and 19% linolenic acids, in the 3:1 ratio that matches our nutritional needs. Once difficult to find, many health food stores now routinely make hemp seed oil available as the demand for it has increased.
Mary Enig, PhD is a respected researcher in the field of fats and oils, especially the hydrogenated, partially-hydrogenated and trans fats. The latest findings appear to implicate all seed oils in the promotion of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, allergies, adrenal failure and stroke. The list of implicated oils includes canola, soy, corn, safflower, sunflower and all hydrogenated and partially-hydrogenated fats and oils. If this turns out to be true, then limiting the intake of the Omega-6 EFAs becomes increasingly important.
A tablespoon of flax seed has about 7.5gm of the short chain Omega-3 which would be converted by the body to about 750mg of the long chained EPA and DHA. A tablespoon of hemp oil has about 2.5gm ALA (or 250mg of EPA and DHA). A tablespoon of fish oil, on the other hand, has about 12,000mg of EPA and DHA. Since the informal NIH recommendations are for 660mg of the long chained Omega-3s, the recommended daily intake would be the equivalent of about:
Replenishing a deficiency of Omega-3 type fatty acids in the diet has resulted in fewer allergic and inflammatory reactions.
The Swank diet includes a blend of 40-50gm per day of essential fatty acids as well as at least 1 teaspoon of cod liver oil per day.
Essential fatty acids have been shown to suppress autoimmune attacks in general and to help protect myelin sheaths. A blend of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may provide supportive benefit in the treatment of myasthenia gravis
Flax seed oil and/or fish oil have been shown to reduce the severity of the disease in animal studies. One tablespoon flax seed oil bid is recommended.
Many studies have shown that higher omega-3 fatty acid intake, through fish consumption or through supplementation, can cut the rate of sudden cardiac death by nearly 50% in both apparently healthy patients and those who have suffered a previous heart attack.
To better understand this protective effect, Danish researchers examined the dietary patterns and individual fatty acid status of nearly 300 patients with ischemic heart disease, comparing them with specific parameters of cardiac function. They found that the patients who ate more fish had higher levels of omega-3 polyunsaturated fats in their blood cell membranes and in their fat cells. A higher level of two specific fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) – especially within the cell membrane – was associated with higher heart rate variability in the patients. An increased heart rate variability indicates healthier pulse regulation, and appears to significantly reduce the risk of arrhythmia and cardiac death.
Anti-inflammatory agents such as the omega-3 oils are especially useful when inflammation is present. [Circulation 2001;104(19): pp.2269-2272]
An essential fatty acid Omega-6/Omega-3 imbalance or deficiency can contribute to inflammation, which is part of the problem in vasculitis.
Omega 3 fatty acids may reduce the incidence of arrhythmias during a heart attack. [Japanese Circulation Journal Dec, 1994;58: pp.903-12]
A study by Japanese researcher Kuroki found that, compared with control subjects, Crohn's patients had lower concentrations of Omega-3 essential fats and higher concentrations of the monounsaturated fatty acids Omega-7 and Omega-9. These results indicate EFA deficiency. Among the fatty acids that correlated with the Crohn's disease activity index, EPA and total Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids showed the most significant negative correlations. The less of these fatty acids present, the worse the disease. [Digestive Diseases and Sciences; 1997; 42(6): pp.1137-41, Fatty Acid Patterns in Patients with Chronic Intestinal Disease, Metabolism 1996; 45(1): pp.12-23]
Fish oil, the only current means of getting EPA without equal amounts of DHA, may delay relapses in Crohn's disease due to its anti-inflammatory effect. Dr Belluzzi, MD tried a new way of delivering the fish oil to the intestine by putting it in a capsule that would not dissolve in the stomach for at least 30 minutes. As a result, the overall dose of fish oil could be reduced by a third and the unpleasant taste of the oil was avoided. 78 Crohn's patients took part in a trial for one year; 39 were given the fish oil and the other 39 were given a placebo in an identical capsule.
At the end of the year the doctors checked which patients were still in remission and which had experienced a flare-up of symptoms. 59% of the patients who took the fish oil were still in remission, compared with only 26% of those who were given the placebo.
About 10% of the patients who were given the fish oil dropped out of the trial because of increased diarrhea, but Dr Belluzzi believes that the coated fish oil capsules could offer an effective way to prolong remission for Crohn's patients. The patients involved in the trial had some evidence of mild inflammation before starting the trial and that the fish oil may have helped by treating this rather than by preventing inflammation from actually starting. He estimates that about 30-40% of Crohn's patients are likely to have a mild level of inflammation similar to those people involved in the trial.
Adequate and balanced essential fatty acid intake is important for the optimal neurologic development of the baby.
Long-term improvement may be gained by promoting the build up of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins with Omega-3 fatty acids or fish oil. Six grams of fish oil per day (or about 1,000mg of eicosapentanoic acid, 700mg of docosahexaenoic acid) can be taken every day for 2 or 3 cycles and then reduced, or taken for a total of 14 days starting 10 days before your period.
Omega 3 EFAs may reduce bleeding in adolescent girls and improve other menstrual symptoms generally in women.
May reduce inflammation and joint stiffness.
Essential fatty acids have the ability to inhibit the growth of Helicobacter pylori and suppress acid production.
A tendency towards chronic repeated inflammations may be resolved through prostaglandin balancing. The levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory prostaglandins are primarily determined by the intake of essential fatty acids. A dietary deficiency of Omega-3 type fatty acids has been associated with a tendency toward chronic inflammation, which regular consumption of these oils can reduce.
Omega-3 fatty acids such as flax oil or fish oil and the digestive aid bromelain make a useful anti-inflammatory combination. Their use can be considered together in trying to resolve any chronic inflammatory condition. While oils should be taken with food because they may cause irritation or indigestion by themselves, bromelain is best taken separately from food. If a person can not tolerate these oils on an empty stomach, then these two products should be rotated; oils with a meal, bromelain between meals. Typical doses are 1T flax oil per day or 3,000-5,000mg fish oil per day along with 125-500mg tid bromelain (3,000 mcu or 2,000 GDU/gm potency).
The administration of an essential fatty acid (EFA) complex containing linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic acids has resulted in significant improvement for many patients. All 19 subjects in an uncontrolled study showed diminution of residual urine, with 12 of the 19 having no residual urine by the end of several weeks of treatment. These effects appear to be due to the correction of an underlying EFA deficiency, since these patients' prostatic and seminal lipid levels and ratios are often abnormal. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is derived from evening primrose oil and borage oil, appears to be a powerful 5-alpha reductase inhibitor.
Omega 3 fatty acids can reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines. Two small double blind studies (using fish oil) demonstrated a high percentage of effectiveness. Supplementation should continue for longer than 3 weeks, which is the time it takes to change cell membrane composition with the new fatty acids.
Both Omega-6 and Omega-3 EFAs and their metabolites Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) and EPA have shown effectiveness against Rheumatoid Arthritis. One study showed that use for 12 months produced meaningful improvement in 76% of subjects. The oil from cold water fish falls into the Omega-3 category, and has shown positive results in reducing inflammation. Some researchers believe that if you regularly eat small amounts of cold-water fish over many years, you may be able to avoid rheumatoid arthritis.
There have been a variety of trials of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in patients with a variety of renal disorders. These trials suggest that such therapy may be of use in the treatment of IgA nephropathy and chronic renal failure. Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acid manipulation results in an anti-inflammatory. [Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Renal Disease, Proceedings of the Society For Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1996;213: pp.13-23]
Fish oil supplementation is promising and does not produce the risks associated with corticosteroid and immunosuppressive drug use.
A high intake of omega-3 fatty acids may protect cigarette smokers against chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids may interfere with the inflammatory mediators triggered by cigarette smoking. Even small increments of omega-3 fatty acids may have a cumulative beneficial effect. [Dietary N-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Smoking-Related Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, The New England Journal of Medicine, July 28, 1994;331(4): pp.228-33].
Dry skin is often related to a deficiency of essential fatty acids.
In published studies, a mixture EFAs from safflower, sunflower and flax oil provided benefit. This is a condition where delta-6-desaturase is often impaired. It may be wiser to start with oil that contains GLA and, if improvement occurs, switch to a cheaper oil. GLA can be used in doses up to 1gm (of actual GLA) per day in more serious cases. Add vitamin E at the same time any EFAs are used.
If not caused by circulatory blockage, simply get more calcium and oxygen to your leg muscles by taking extra essential fatty acids, a specific form of vitamin E called Vitamin E2 (from Standard Process Labs, for example), and Calcium Lactate.
High doses of Omega-3 oils reduce platelet aggregation and thus reduce the abnormal clotting tendency which is seen in 75% of strokes.
Lignans are particularly abundant in raw ground flax seed and are also found in whole grains and legumes. Diets that are rich in these foods seem to be a factor in preventing the development of breast cancer in women.

Did you know that horses can get sunburned just like we do? All horses can get sunburned, but those with white or lighter skin are more susceptible. Sunburned skin will be red, hot and sensitive to the touch and if left untreated it can become cracked, flaky or blister and may become infected.
It's not uncommon for horses with white marking to get sunburned. Most horses get sunburns on their noses, ear tips and around their eyes, but they can also get sunburned over the back and on their legs. If they get burned over the back are you won't be able to ride them until the burn heals.
If you have a horse that burns easily you may have to keep them stalled during the heat of the day and turn them out after the sun goes down. If you keep your horse stalled during the day make sure the stall is cool and that it has good ventilation. If you can't keep your horse stalled then make sure they have access to some form of shade like trees or a shed.
Other options would be to put on a sun blocking sheet, mask or use a sunscreen product. There are several companies that offer sheets and masks to protect your horse from the sun, but keep in mind these can be hot for your horse.
If you choose to use a sunscreen or sunblock make sure you get one that is specifically for horses. Some of the chemical sunscreens will still allow enough light through to reach the skin and cause a burn. Always make sure you read the label and follow the directions for best results.
If your horse gets sunburned be sure to get the area treated as soon as possible to avoid infection. If your horse develops any of the following scabs, bumps, blisters, cracking or bleeding call your veterinarian as something else could be wrong. Make sure you keep the sunburned area clean and be gentle when cleaning the area.
There are other things that could cause your horse to be more sensitive to the sun such as things that are put on their skin or in their feed. Photosensitivity can be caused from plants like St. Johns Wort, clover, rye, and buckwheat. Some drugs can also cause photosensitivity. When in doubt consult with your veterinarian.
Watch for St. John's Wort in any product you apply topically. You have to be careful when using fly sprays and grooming products because they could make the situation worse.
Some horses that have photosensitivity could indicate liver disease or cancer. If you think your horse is suffering from photosensitivity call your veterinarian as they will want to get a full history on your horse along with blood work.
Have fun when riding during the summer, but keep in mind that your horse can get sunburned too so take the necessary precautions to prevent it. |

Since the 1700s, the Scots have had a profound influence worldwide, as American author Arthur Herman emphatically argued in his 2001 book, How the Scots Invented the Modern World. So why do we need another book about Scottish ingenuity focused solely on Canada? Because, writes Ken McGoogan, “except for the homeland, this is the country where Scots and their descendants have accomplished the most.”
Scots have never exceeded more than 16 per cent of Canada’s population, McGoogan points out, yet 13 out of 22 Canadian prime ministers were of Scottish heritage. Low- or high-born, the Scots who came here tended to possess strong leadership skills as well as open, flexible attitudes that helped give rise to Canada’s cultural pluralism.
How the Scots Invented Canada is broken into three themed sections: “Pioneers,” “Builders,” and “Visionaries.” McGoogan calls his approach “deliberately less academic” than Herman’s. Indeed, this is an amiable volume that serves as both an engaging read and a handy reference.
McGoogan doesn’t aim for the obscure: most of the names here – Fraser, MacDonald, McGill, Eaton, Bell, Douglas, Trudeau – will be familiar to anyone with even a cursory knowledge of Canadian history. With 14 profiles, women seem slightly better represented than in standard textbooks, Nellie McClung, Agnes McPhail, Alice Munro, and Margaret Laurence being among the most prominent figures mentioned.
Despite his surname, McGoogan notes that his own ancestry is a typically Canadian hybrid of nationalities. In other words, his intention is not merely to bask in his ancestors’ bright glow. In fact, if the Scottish connection were never mentioned, McGoogan’s book would read very much like a standard Canadian history textbook, which perhaps affirms his thesis.
McGoogan argues that Scottish success was not simply a fluke of genetics. It was the direct result of the widespread literacy and culture of open debate produced by the Scottish Enlightenment. It’s an uncomplicated recipe for success that policy-makers interested in an equally bold future for Canada would do well to take heed of.
About the Author
KEN McGOOGAN’s quartet of books about Arctic history― Fatal Passage, Ancient Mariner, Lady Franklin’s Revenge and Race to the Polar Sea―have made him one of the most acclaimed popular historians in Canada and a national bestselling author. Visit his website at www.kenmcgoogan.com. |
Fight announcements were the order of the day on Wednesday, as the UFC filled some of their January cards with four separate bouts. The biggest of the four will serve as the headliner for UFC on Fox 18, set to take place on January 30th. That spot is now occupied by Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson and Ryan Bader, in what should determine the next light heavyweight title challenger for the eventual rematch between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier. ‘Rumble’ had been requesting the fight, and as so often is the case with UFC matchmaking, the fighter got exactly what they asked for. Johnson has won 10 of 11 since his exile from the UFC back in 2012 and subsequent return, and was ever so close to beating Cormier for the light heavyweight belt himself. Perhaps the scariest striker in all of MMA, ‘Rumble’ has the type of power where it doesn’t matter where he hits opponents or how cleanly, they ended up dropping. If he connects against Bader, the results are unlikely to be any different. Outside of former (re: actual) light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, Ryan Bader holds the best win streak in the division. Now sitting at five straight, he most recently bested former champion Rashad Evans across five rounds only to be denied a title shot thanks to the return of Jones from suspension. The former TUF winner has made improvements to every facet of his game, and is perhaps the most deserving fighter in the UFC right now who hasn’t received a title shot. Also added to UFC on Fox 18 is a welterweight battle between Jake Ellenberger and Tarec Saffiedine. Ellenberger has been in a free-fall of late, dropping 4 of his past 5. At times, he’s looked as if he doesn’t want to be in the cage, and he’s struggled to pull the trigger. Saffiedine, on the other hand, has been woefully inactive. With only 3 fights since the beginning of 2013, I actually had to look him up to make sure I spelled his name correctly since I haven’t thought about him in so long. Two weeks prior to UFC on Fox 18, one of the biggest Fight Night events the UFC has ever put on will take place in Boston. The headliner for that card will be TJ Dillashaw and Dominick Cruz in a massive bantamweight title bout, but the organization is filling out the rest of the card. Boston’s own Charles Rosa was added last night in a bout with Jimy Hettes. With the grappling style of both men, this could turn into a very entertaining, scramble-laden affair. Finally, UFC 195 saw Justine Kish and Nina Ansaroff added in a strawweight bout. Kish has not officially competed since January of 2014, as her stint on TUF was cut short by a knee injury. Ansaroff will be facing a long layoff as well, as her five-fight win streak was snapped in her November 2014 UFC debut, and she has not had a fight since. And in the daily dose of Bellator weirdness, lightweight champion Will Brooks and featherweight champion Patricio Freire (and his brother Patricky) were involved in an altercation at the Bellator fighter’s hotel that forced the police to be called to the scene. The details are still uncertain, but… That’s So Bellator. |
IFLA Media and Information Literacy Recommendations
In order to survive and develop, make decisions, and solve problems in every facet of life - personal, social, educational, and professional, individuals, communities, and nations need information about themselves as well as their physical and their social environments. This information is available via three processes: observation and experimentation, conversation (with other persons), and consultation (with memory institutions). The competence to do this effectively and efficiently is called Media and Information Literacy.
Media and Information Literacy consists of the knowledge, the attitudes, and the sum of the skills needed to know when and what information is needed; where and how to obtain that information; how to evaluate it critically and organise it once it is found; and how to use it in an ethical way. The concept extends beyond communication and information technologies to encompass learning, critical thinking, and interpretative skills across and beyond professional and educational boundaries. Media and Information Literacy includes all types of information resources: oral, print, and digital.
Media and Information Literacy is a new emerging field of human rights in an increasingly digital, interdependent, and global world, and promotes greater social inclusion. It can bridge the gap between the information rich and the information poor. Media and Information Literacy empowers and endows individuals with knowledge of the functions of the media and information systems and the conditions under which these functions are performed. Media and Information Literacy is closely related to Lifelong Learning. Lifelong Learning enables individuals, communities, and nations to attain their goals and to take advantage of emerging opportunities in the evolving global environment for the shared benefit of all individuals, not just a few. It assists them and their institutions and organisations to meet their technological, economic, and social challenges, to redress disadvantages, and to advance every individual's well-being.
Under the umbrella of the developing information/knowledge society at all levels - local, regional, national, and international, we urge governments and intergovernmental organizations as well as private institutions and organisations to pursue policies and programs that advocate for and promote Media and Information Literacy and Lifelong Learning for all. In so doing, they will provide the vital foundation for fulfilling the goals of the United Nations Millennium Declaration and the World Summit on the Information Society.
In particular, IFLA recommends that governments and organisations to do the following:
- Commission research on the state of Media and Information Literacy and produce reports, using the Media and Information Literacy indicators as a base, so that experts, educators, and practitioners are able to design effective initiatives;
- Support professional development for education, library, information, archive, and health and human services personnel in the principles and practices of Media and Information Literacy and Lifelong Learning;
- Embed Media and Information Literacy education in all Lifelong Learning curricula;
- Recognise Media and Information Literacy and Lifelong Learning as key elements for the development of generic capabilities which must be demonstrated for accreditation of all education and training programs;
- Include Media and Information Literacy in the core and continuing education of information professionals, educators, economic and government policymakers and administrators, as well as in the practice of advisors to the business, industry and agriculture sectors;
- Implement Media and Information Literacy programs to increase the employability and entrepreneurial capacities of women and disadvantaged groups, including migrants, the underemployed and the unemployed; and,
- Support thematic meetings which will facilitate the acquisition of Media and Information and Lifelong Learning strategies within specific regions, sectors, and population groups.
Endorsed by the Governing Board of IFLA, at its meeting in Den Haag, The Netherlands, 7 December 2011
The UNESCO 37th General Assembly has invited Member States to endorse the Recommendations and to take them into consideration during the planning of future strategies, policies, and initiatives.

Summer Sniffles, Sneezes and Coughs On the Rise
Illinois is in phase 5, restrictions have been lifted and summer fun is underway. It’s good to feel normal again! But as we unmask and gather together, we may be swapping more than handshakes and hugs. Cold viruses are making a comeback, too. Isolation and mask-wearing allowed us to largely skip the winter cold season. Now, as we make up for lost time, those pesky viruses are spreading once again. This, coupled with a bad allergy season, has a lot of people sniffling, sneezing and coughing their way into summer. So how can you tell a summer cold from COVID? Do you need a COVID test if you become symptomatic? Should you head to urgent care? Here’s what you need to know:
Cold viruses versus COVID
We are absolutely seeing an uptick in cold-like symptoms. While similar to COVID-19 symptoms, there are some differences to watch for. For example, COVID-19 often causes coughing and shortness of breath, coupled with body aches. Summer colds tend to be more similar to allergies, with sneezing, sniffling and a cough. They are also more short-lived.
When to test for COVID
COVID-19 numbers are low right now, but there are still cases in the area. New strains, such as the Delta strain (originated in India) are causing illness in unvaccinated individuals. Determining whether you have a summer cold or COVID-19 can be tricky since symptoms are similar, but here are a few general guidelines:
If you are vaccinated, it’s most likely a summer cold. Breakthrough COVID cases are possible, however they are not common. Pay attention to your symptoms. If they are minor and more sneezing, sniffling as opposed to shortness of breath, fever, body aches, and you are vaccinated, you probably have a cold virus.
If you were exposed to COVID-19, you should take your symptoms seriously and get tested for the virus. Known exposures still warrant testing, especially if you are symptomatic. Follow the quarantine guidelines if you have no symptoms but have had a known exposure.
Do you have summer allergies? This season has been a bad one for summer allergies. If you suffer from seasonal allergies, it’s very possible that your symptoms are related to the season. Allergies can develop into a sinus infection, so contact your primary care provider if your allergy medication is not helping or your symptoms continue.
Urgent Care appointments are easy
Innovative Express Care is open seven days a week and making an appointment is easy with online scheduling. Be sure to tell our receptionist if you are having symptoms that are associated with COVID-19 when you check in. This way we can lead you directly to an exam room. We offer COVID-19 testing at our urgent care and at our dedicated COVID-19 testing site. Innovative Express Care also offers telemedicine visits, which are a great way to discuss your symptoms with a medical provider from the comfort of your own home. An in-person visit may still be required, but many illnesses can be diagnosed remotely, allowing you to get a treatment plan and medical advice without ever leaving home.
If you have not yet been vaccinated for COVID-19, we strongly urge you to do so. Innovative Express Care is currently offering the Pfizer vaccine for individuals age 12 and up at our Downers Grove location. |
The Malwarebytes ‘Cybercrime tactics and techniques – 2016 Wrapup’ gives special mention to the rise in the availability, use, and complexity of exploit kits. Many people have not heard of them so I thought I would make a post.
To understand what an exploit kit is you first need to understand what an exploit is. There are many vulnerabilities in software. Some are in applications and some are in the operating system. When a cyber-attack is successfully mounted against one of those vulnerabilities, it is said to have been exploited. The attack itself is called an exploit.
In the basic cyber-attack, information is gathered about the servers and other nodes in the network. This is called ‘enumeration.’ Using this information, a database of potential vulnerabilities can be queried. Now the idea is to try exploits on each possible vulnerability, knowing that some may not have been patched.
In the early days of cyberspace, it took a great deal of skill to develop and deliver an exploit. But like anything else the process has been automated into what is called an ‘exploit kit.’ There are many different exploit kits available for purchase or rental.
Some exploit kits even have user-friendly web-based administrative interfaces, where various options may be turned on or off. The level of skill needed to run many exploit kits is fairly low. They are a lovely study in usability for cyber-crime.
Exploit kits initially infect networks or home systems through the common channels – e-mail attachment, macro, insecure application, and Web XSS. These are common vectors for malware, so the same methods as against malware may be used to protect against exploit kits.
- · Always maintain backups and air-gap them.
- · Keep your OS and apps patched as patches are released. Don’t put it off.
- · Always have good anti-virus, anti-adware and firewall deployed and current.
- · Always use a least-privilege account.
- · Do not open email attachments unless you are absolutely sure what is in them and where they came from.
Here are some good references:

Built of local red sandstone, Hereford Cathedral retains a large central tower and some fine 11th-century Norman carvings, although most of the interior is 19th century. There are also some exquisite contemporary stained-glass windows in the Audley Chapel. However, its main attractions are two great treasures: a 12th-century chair, to the left of the high altar, one of the oldest pieces of furniture in the country and reputedly used by King Stephen (1092–1154); and the Mappa Mundi, the largest medieval map of the world still in existence. Drawn in about 1300, it's a fascinating glimpse of how the medieval mind viewed the world: Jerusalem is shown dead center, the Garden of Eden at the edge, Europe and Africa are the wrong way round—and, of course, there are no Americas. In addition to land masses, the map details 500 individual drawings, including cities, Biblical stories, mythical creatures, and images of how people in different corners of the globe were thought to look—the last
two frequently overlapping in wildly imaginative fashion. The map is held inside a chained library, containing some 1,500 books, among them an 8th-century copy of the Four Gospels. Chained libraries, in which books were attached to cupboards to discourage theft, are extremely rare: they date from medieval times, when books were as precious as gold. The Cathedral also holds a copy of the 1217 version of the Magna Carta—it's not on permanent display, but is sometimes brought out for temporary exhibits. Tours of the cathedral (without the library), tower, and garden run through summer; however, some are dependent on weather and are liable to change, so calling to confirm times is strongly recommended. |

A common side-effect of cyclophosphamide is feeling sick (nausea). Your doctor may prescribe medicine to control this.
Because cyclophosphamide affects your immune system, it can make you more likely to pick up infections. It can also make them harder to spot. Make sure you have your repeat blood tests and tell your doctor or rheumatology nurse straight away if you develop:
- a sore throat, fever or other signs of infection
- unexplained bruising or bleeding
- any other new symptoms that concern you.
You should stop taking cyclophosphamide, try to get a prompt blood test, and see your doctor immediately if any of the above symptoms are severe.
You should also see your doctor if you get chickenpox or shingles or come into contact with someone who has chickenpox or shingles. These illnesses can be severe if you're on cyclophosphamide. You may need antiviral treatment, and your cyclophosphamide may need to be stopped until you're better.
One very important side-effect is inflammation and bleeding of the bladder wall (haemorrhagic cystitis). If this happens you may notice blood in your urine and you must see your doctor immediately. To reduce the risk of this happening, you should drink 8–10 glasses (2–3 litres) of non-alcoholic drinks or water a day. You may be prescribed a drug called mesna to try to reduce the risk of cystitis.
Cyclophosphamide can also affect the blood count, which means your body is making fewer blood cells.
Because cyclophosphamide can affect the blood and the bladder, your doctor will arrange for you to have blood and urine tests before and during treatment. You may be asked to keep a record of your test results in a booklet and to bring it with you when you visit your GP or the hospital.
You must not take cyclophosphamide unless you're having regular checks.
Sometimes cyclophosphamide can cause hair loss, mouth ulcers and irregular menstrual periods.
There's a slightly increased risk of certain types of cancer, particularly bladder cancer, but cyclophosphamide won't be prescribed unless your doctor thinks the benefits outweigh the risks.

At an otherwise fairly pedestrian House of Representatives hearing on geoengineering today—the first of its kind in the United States—science committee chair Representative Bart Gordon (D–TN) announced a new partnership with the U.K. House of Commons to hold joint hearings on the controversial topic next year. The effort would mark the inaugural effort to set up international rules on the topic:
Chairman Gordon announced that this hearing will be part of a partnership with the United Kingdom House of Commons Science and Technology Committee. The two Committees will hold parallel hearings and share materials once they are publicly available.
“Geoengineering has decidedly global implications, and research should be considered in the context of a transparent international process,” said Gordon. “Yesterday the Commons Committee voted to undertake a parallel effort to examine the domestic and international regulatory frameworks that may be applicable to geoengineering. We will be in close contact with them, sharing the findings from our own efforts. When they complete their work in the spring the Chairman of the Committee will testify before us in a hearing on domestic and international governance issues.”
"We need to set some ground rules," said Gordon In an interview with ScienceInsider last week. The effort might include legislators from other countries, he said today. |
At Delavan-Darien High School, teachers of the school’s “American Diversity” course were trying to make the very valid point that whites are often provided leeway in America. They did so by having children read literature exploring the concept of “white privilege,” defined on a class handout as such:
In critical race theory, white privilege is a set of advantages that are believed to be enjoyed by white people beyond those commonly experienced by non-white people in the same social, political, and economic spaces (nation, community, workplace, income, etc.). Theorists differentiate it from racism or prejudice because, they say, a person who may benefit from white privilege is not necessarily racist or prejudiced and may be unaware of having any privileges reserved only for whites.
Race relations in America are, of course, not as bad as they were decades ago, but problems like staggering Black unemployment and the pathetically biased criminal justice system linger, making it clear that Blacks are still burdened by unfair disadvantages. That’s obvious to anyone who knows anything, and there are facts to prove it.
The notion of white privilege is not a radical concept. It merely acknowledges the reality that, due to a variety of complex and often invisible societal prejudices, white people are given a leg up in places minorities are not. Relatively benign? Not to some parents.
One parent told Fox News that the American Diversity course is “teaching white guilt,” adding, “[t]hey’re saying to non-whites, ‘You have been oppressed and you’re still being oppressed.’”
That it is somehow offensive to some people to face the reality that minorities face oppression is a terrifying thought. Alas, the superintendent of the district says he plans on going over the coursework with the diversity teachers in order to ensure “fairness.”
Oh, the sick irony of a lesson about white privilege getting shut down by angry white people for teaching children of color about “oppression.”

Once a Molecular Black Box
Not long ago, a normal cell was like a molecular black box. In 1971, when Congress declared War on Cancer, scientists knew the major parts and functions of a cell, but they did not understand what was happening at the molecular level. Some fundamental questions about what makes a normal cell change into a cancer cell remained unanswered.
Today an Open Box
Using exciting, new advances in the technology of molecular biology, scientists have opened the molecular black box and are making discoveries today that were unthinkable just a generation ago.
Enter CGAP: NCI's Program To Study Molecular Changes in Cancer
Scientists know that cancer arises when a cell undergoes several molecular changes. These changes take place over many years, and only when the cell has accumulated a critical number of these changes does it become a "cancer" cell.
In 1996, the Cancer Genome Anatomy Project (CGAP) began. This program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is studying the molecular changes that occur when a normal cell is transformed into a cancer cell.
CGAP Studies Genomes
CGAP studies the molecular changes in genomes. A genome can simply be thought of as the complete set of instructions for making an organism. Each organism has its own unique genome. In a human cell, the genome is found in the nucleus. A human genome has 22 pairs of chromosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes.
DNA Molecules: The Building Blocks of the Genome
A genome is made up of DNA molecules that contain only four chemical bases: Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine--called A, T, G, and C, for short. Each DNA molecule, also known as a chromosome, is made up of two related strands. Since A only likes to match up with T, and C only with G, the order on one strand dictates the order on the other. This is called base pairing and enables the genome to make copies of itself.
The order of the bases spells out a code that will be used to make the organism.
Genes: Functional Regions Within DNA Molecules
Genes are functional regions within the DNA molecules, and their mission is to code the instructions to make specific proteins. The human genome is thought to have approximately 25,000 genes spread across all 23 pairs of human chromosomes.
Genes "Switch On"
When a gene "switches on," it eventually makes a protein, but it does not do so directly. First the gene codes an intermediary molecule called mRNA. To transfer a gene's information from DNA to mRNA, base pairing is used. However, there is one change: an adenine base (A) in the DNA matches with a new base called uracil (U) in the mRNA. This difference helps to distinguish mRNA from DNA.
Gene to mRNA to Protein
mRNA travels from the nucleus into the cytoplasm to cell organelles called ribosomes. There it directs the assembly of amino acids that fold into a unique protein.
Cancer - Genes With Design Problems
In normal tissues, the genes have no design problems, but in cancer, changes occur in the DNA. Some of the genes, and hence the proteins, are not made correctly. For example, a protein may be missing, overproduced, shortened, or assembled with alterations.
Such alterations can eventually contribute to uncontrolled growth and cancer.
In any type of tissue, only a limited set of the genes are switched on at any given time. Also, from one tissue type to another, the limited set of genes involved will vary. Thus, each tissue can be identified by its unique pattern of gene expression. This pattern is often called an "expression profile" or a "molecular signature".
Here is an example of a normal breast cell and a normal prostate cell. Although both of these cells have many mRNAs and proteins in common (grey), they also have unique differences.
Expression Profiles in Cancer
It is possible to measure differences between a normal and a cancer tissue of the same type--for example, normal and cancerous prostate. Samples of normal prostate tissue will have identical expression profiles. But when a normal prostate tissue is transformed into cancerous prostate tissue, the expression profile changes.
Any changes in gene expression ultimately cause alterations in protein production. New expression profiles in a cancer cell can dramatically alter the network of proteins that interact. A critical protein may no longer be available, another may be overproduced, yet another may be flawed. And when new genes become activated, entirely new proteins may be introduced.
Many different combinations of gene changes and protein interactions are seen in cancerous tissue.
Measuring Expression Profiles: Step 1. Isolating the mRNA
There are two different ways to capture expression profiles, by measuring either the mRNA or the protein molecules. CGAP measures the mRNA molecules.
First, the mRNA molecules must be separated from all the other cellular molecules. Each mRNA has a unique label attached at one end, a short length of A bases (polyA) strung one after the other. Scientists take clever advantage of this feature. They create a stationary support holding short chains of polyT bases. As the cell's content passes over the support, the polyA ends of the mRNAs base pair with the chains of polyT. This isolates the mRNAs.
Unfortunately, the mRNA molecules are not very stable and may be present in very small amounts. So, having captured the mRNAs, scientists quickly convert them into something more stable and easily measured.
Measuring Expression Profiles: Step 2. Converting mRNA into cDNA
The next step is to convert the mRNA back into a DNA molecule in the test tube. This can be thought of simply as reversing what went on in the cell when the gene DNA was switched on and mRNA was made by base pairing.
This is a two-stage process. First, each mRNA is copied into a new DNA strand using base pairing to form a mRNA-DNA duplex. Next, the mRNA is chopped up and removed, and the DNA strand is used to make a second DNA strand. This double-stranded DNA is called complementary DNA or cDNA.
Thus, each cDNA in the test tube originally came from a specific mRNA in the cell.
Measuring Expression Profiles: Step 3. Converting the cDNA into a cDNA Library
At this stage there are lots of cDNA molecules in the test tube. The goal is to count how many different types there are and how many of each type are present.
To do this, scientists use E. coli bacteria. Each bacterium contains a small circular piece of DNA called a plasmid. Scientists are able to insert a single cDNA molecule into each plasmid. This solution of E. coli, in which every bacterium has one cDNA molecule per plasmid is called a "cDNA library".
Measuring Expression Profiles: Step 4. Isolating Each Bacterium
Each E. coli is isolated from the others and placed in a tiny test tube of its own. It is allowed to divide many times, making identical copies of itself and the inserted DNA. These identical copies are called "clones."
Measuring Expression Profiles: Step 5. Identifying the Clones
The final step in the process of capturing an expression profile is to identify the cDNA molecule in each clone. This is done by determining the order of, or sequencing, the bases in the cDNA. Fortunately, rather than sequence every base, scientists need only sequence about 400 bases at the polyA end to uniquely identify the entire cDNA. This short sequence is called an "expressed sequence tag" or EST, and its sequence information is stored in a public database for everyone to use.
Active Gene to EST
In summary, the EST represents the switched-on gene and its mRNA that was originally present in the cell.
By measuring all the ESTs, scientists can tell which genes were switched on in the cells of the original tissue, either normal or cancerous.
CGAP Helps Cancer Research in the Lab: Gene Analysis and Gene Discovery
CGAP has become the largest contributor of sequences to the EST database, all of which are made available to the public at no cost. In addition, CGAP has developed valuable informatics tools that help researchers to analyze this vast amount of complex data.
Using the EST database and CGAP analysis tools, scientists can find information about a particular gene in a few moments, in contrast to a few years ago, when it would have taken many hours of tedious lab work. CGAP EST data also has allowed scientists to discover genes never before seen.

CGAP has helped scientists to discover much about normal and cancer cells and their differences in a very short time.
CGAP Helps Cancer Research in the Clinic: Understanding More About Cancer Biology
Researchers use cDNAs to build microarrays.
A microarray consists of a glass slide onto which a large variety of cDNAs are placed in separate spots. Each spot contains many copies of the same cDNA molecules.
Microarrays enable scientists to find which genes are switched on or off in a tissue. To make a prostate-specific microarray, for example, researchers select specific cDNAs from genes that are switched on in prostate tissue of all types: normal, precancerous, or cancerous.
Here is one simplified example in prostate tissue of how a normal cell might differ from a cancerous one.
CGAP Helps Cancer Research in the Clinic: Step 1. Microarrays in Diagnosis
In a very simplified case, two patients suspected of having prostate cancer enter the clinic. The mRNAs from each patient's prostate cells are isolated, labeled with a fluorescent dye, and allowed to base pair with the cDNAS on separate, yet identical, prostate-specific microarrays.
CGAP Helps Cancer Research in the Clinic: Step 2. Microarrays in Diagnosis
When an mRNA molecule finds a cDNA that shares the same gene of origin, base pairing occurs. The fluorescent dye attached to the mRNA allows the clinician to detect and measure this binding.
CGAP Helps Cancer Research in the Clinic: Step 3. Microarrays in Diagnosis
By looking at the pattern of "lit up" spots on the microarray, the clinician can see which genes were originally expressed in the patients' prostate cells and make a rapid and accurate diagnosis.
CGAP Helps Cancer Research in the Clinic: Differentiating Between Cancers with Similar Clinical Symptoms
Microarrays have recently been used to discover that what appeared to be a single type of lymphoma was actually a mixture of two cancer subtypes at the molecular level. CGAP cancer researchers then discovered that only one subtype gave the best overall response. New treatment strategies must be developed to improve response for all subtypes of cancer.
CGAP Helps Scientists, Clinicians, and Patients
CGAP's use of new technologies has generated valuable information for cancer researchers worldwide, empowering the discovery of new genes and speeding up gene analysis.

A hungry bear tried to crawl into a woman’s Washington home through her doggie door, according to video of the attempted break-in.
North Bend resident Amy Hold discovered the large bear snooping around for a snack on her back porch around 10 p.m. Wednesday night after catching the furry visitor on a security camera.
“The video is completely entertaining, but also makes me a little worried about waking up in bed with the bear next to me,” Holt told KOMO.
Footage Holt posted online showed the bear carefully climbing onto the porch fencing and standing on its two hind legs, sniffing around.
It then gets down onto the porch and peeks through a window.
The bruin, who had visited the home before, can be seen sniffing around the back door and sticking its snout — and giant paws — repeatedly through the doggie door flap.
After pawing at the door a few more times, the defeated bear climbed off the porch and sauntered into the darkness, the clip shows.
Holt said that her two large dogs did absolutely nothing as the bear tried to bust in.
“Our dogs never barked, even though he was making quite a bit of noise with the doggie door,” she wrote in the social media post.
“We keep yelling at him and making noise, but it doesn’t seem to faze him much,” she added.
Holt and her husband are used to wildlife in their rural community and believe a birdfeeder left outside could have triggered the bear’s curiosity.
“We have had bears caught on our security cameras in the past, but they have never been a nuisance,” Holt added. “We typically bring our bird feeders in at night to not tempt them, and we keep our garbage secured in our garage.”
She said she would try and do better to secure food and garbage — and urged her neighbors to do the same.
“If the bears have nothing available to eat, they will move along,” Holt said. “We don’t want bears having to be put down because they become a nuisance.” |
The term “middle class” means the same thing across the U.S. — that you have assets and incomes that are in the middle range for where you live. Since wages and the cost of living vary significantly across the U.S., the income required to be middle class also varies across the country.
National Public Radio’s Planet Money decided to answer this question by looking at income data from the 2013 American Community Survey conducted annually by the U.S. Census Bureau. Median incomes were used in the analysis — in other words, at the listed value exactly half of the residents have incomes above that value and half have incomes below it. The 25% and 75% marks were also noted to show the range of what could reasonably be called middle class.
Using these values for thirty cities, the median income for the country was $64,000, with a spread of $34,000 to $107,000 covering the middle 50% of wage earners. Congratulations, Minneapolis — you scored closest to the national average with a median income of $64,000 and range of $33,000 to $116,000, making you the middle class of the middle class.
The bottom three cities are in the more depressed areas of the Upper Midwest. Detroit had the lowest median income at $30,000, with a range of $12,000 to $59,000. Cleveland follows with a $32,000 median and a range of $15,000 to $58,000, and Milwaukee came in at $36,000 median and $18,000 to $67,000 in range. (Surprisingly, Miami tied Milwaukee for the median value but had a slightly higher range.)
The three cities with the highest median income far surpassed the others, with a $24,000 gap between the third and fourth highest. All three are on the West Coast (as is the fourth in Portland, Oregon) and two are in the Bay Area.
San Jose tops the list with a median income of $103,000 and a range of $51,000 to $182,000 — thus if you live in San Jose and make $180,000 you could make a credible argument for being in the middle class. San Francisco was third at $96,000 median income and a range of $44,000 to $171,000, combining with San Jose to make the Bay Area arguably the region with the highest middle-class income.
Seattle comes in second with $102,000 median income and a range of $56,000 to $165,000. The $56,000 that puts you at the 25th percentile in Seattle and almost out of the middle class in income puts you within a few thousand dollars of being the upper class in income in Detroit or Cleveland.
The readings are skewed a bit for several reasons. The data used was family income, meaning that single-person households were excluded. (Family data requires two or more related people living in a household.) Also, the data for only six of the cities were estimates from metropolitan areas, thus many suburban and all rural areas are excluded. Finally, the cities in the study are the thirty most densely populated, excluding smaller cities.
These changes almost certainly skew the national data towards a higher number (Sorry, Minneapolis, it could be more likely that Pittsburgh at $55,000 median income or Baltimore at $50,000 has the most representative middle class.)
While these comparisons may be used to draw some conclusions about costs of living and economic development, on a personal level they do not mean much of anything. Don’t worry about whether you are middle, lower or upper class where you live — just do the best you can to support yourself and your family. Nothing else really matters.

Anime refers specifically to Japanese animation
Anime is a term coined in Japan, shortened from the word 'animation' and specifically used for their animation style. While anime is sometimes referred to as a cartoon its main difference is its origins.
Anime is short for animation in Japan and started to be used in the 1970's, though animation had started about 70 years prior. Animation, while encompassing many forms or art and media people see today, anime is a bit different. Partially from the art style used, and partially from the plots they have. Anime has a higher focus on the emotional side of things, be they relationships or problems. The history of anime is rich and over time has been cultivated into an entire culture with Anime Conventions, even coining the term 'otaku' for people who are obsessed with it. The history of cartoons though, is more historical. Cartoons were illustrations before they graduated to television. Political comics before kids shows. Those who love comics and the like are considered geeks, the term less offensive than it was the previous generations. Both have their own distinctive fans, just like they have their own distinctive book versions and screen versions. Comics and manga, cartoons and anime. They're different categories, with different fans, and different origins.
The term anime, while created directly in relation to Japan's animation industry being on the rise in the 1970's. In truth, there's no special reason behind this except the fact it's a shorter, faster way to say animation. Anime, or アニメ(A–Ni–Me), would be アニメーション (A–Ni–Me–Sho–N), longer, and rather unnecessary when the first is just as understandable and recognizable. It was a term created for its ease, quite like how in English, people will say ASAP instead of 'as soon as possible.' You can use the full version but usually there's no need to do so. When traveling to different regions there's usually a style that's favored. Be it with colors, food, or art. Art in particular stands out. Italian art contains a lot of frescos, paintings done on wet plaster, while European art contains a lot of oil paintings. With time, artwork and their techniques evolved, till animation became another form or art. There are different types of art in the world, belonging to different places, different people, but that does not change the fact that they are art. Much like with animation, they are made in different places by different people and called different things, but they are still considered animation.

Diarrhea is the universal finding with E.coli strains that are able to cause intestinal disease. The nature of the diarrhea varies depending on the pathogenic mecha- nism. Enterotoxigenic and enteropathogenic strains produce a watery diarrhea, the enterohemorrhagic strains produce a bloody diarrhea, and the enteroinvasive strains may cause dysentery with blood and pus in the stool. The diarrhea is usu- ally self-limiting after only 1 to 3 days. The enterohemorrhagic E.coli are an ex- ception, with life-threatening manifestations outside the gastrointestinal tract due to Shiga toxin production.
Diarrhea-causing E.coli are conveniently classified according to their virulence properties as enterotoxigenic (ETEC),enteropathogenic (EPEC),enteroinvasive(EIEC), enterohemorrhagic (EHEC), or enteroaggregative (EAEC). Each groupcauses disease by a different mechanism, and the resulting syndromes usually differ clinically and epidemiologically. For example, human ETEC and EIEC strains infect only humans. Food and water contaminated with human waste and person-to-person contact are the principal means of infection. A summary of the pathogenesis of infec-tion, clinical syndromes, and epidemiology of infection for each enteropathogen is shown in Table 21 – 1.
ETEC are the most important cause of traveler’s diarrhea in visitors to developing coun-tries. ETEC also produce diarrhea in infants native to these countries, where they are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality during the first 2 years of life. Repeated bouts of diarrhea caused by ETEC and other infectious agents are an important cause of growth retardation, malnutrition, and developmental delay in the third world countries where ETEC are endemic. ETEC disease is rare in industrialized nations.
Transmission is by consumption of food and water contaminated by human cases or convalescent carriers. Uncooked foods such as salads or marinated meats and vegetables are associated with the greatest risk. Direct person-to-person transmission is unusual, be-cause the infecting dose is high. Animals are not involved in ETEC disease.
ETEC diarrhea is caused by strains of E.coli that produce LT and/or ST enterotoxins in the small intestine. Strains that elaborate both LT and ST cause more severe illness. Adher-ence to surface microvilli mediated by the CFA class of pili is essential for the efficient delivery of toxin to the target enterocytes. The genes encoding the ST, LT, and the CFA pili are borne in plasmids. A single plasmid can carry all three sets of genes. The bacteria remain on the surface, where the adenylate cyclase – stimulating action of the toxin(s) creates the flow of water and electrolytes from the enterocyte into the intestinal lumen. The mucosa becomes hyperemic but is not injured in the process. There is no invasion or inflammation.
Although there can be more than one episode of diarrhea, infections with ETEC can stim-ulate immunity. Travelers from industrialized nations have a much higher attack rate than adults living in the endemic area. This natural immunity is presumably mediated by sIgA specific for LT and CFAs. The small ST peptides are nonimmunogenic. The disease is of very low incidence in breast-fed infants, underscoring the protective effect of maternal antibody and the importance of transmission by contaminated food and water.
EPEC strains were first identified as the cause of explosive outbreaks of diarrhea in hospital nurseries in the United States and Great Britain during the 1950s. The disease seems to have disappeared in industrialized nations, although it may be underestimated due to the difficulty of diagnosis. In developing countries throughout the world, EPEC account for up to 20% of diarrhea in bottle-fed infants younger than 1 year of age. The reservoir is in-fant cases and adult carriers with transmission by the fecal – oral route. Nursery outbreaks demonstrate the importance of spread by fomites, which suggests that the infecting dose for infants is low. Documented adult cases have usually been in circumstances where the number of organisms ingested was very large.
EPEC initially attach to enterocytes using pili of the BFP type to form clustered micro-colonies on the enterocyte cell surface. The lesion then progresses with effacement of the microvilli and changes in the cell morphology including the production of dramatic “pedestals” with the EPEC bacterium at their apex. The combination of these actions is called the attachment and effacing (A/E) lesion (Fig 21 – 4). The many steps involved in the formation of the A/E lesion are genetically controlled in a PAI, which includes the genes for the major attachment protein, intimin, and a contact secretion system. The secretion system injects at least five E. colisecretion proteins (Esps) into the host cell cytoplasm including, remarkably, the receptor for intimin. The other E. coli secretion proteins perturb intracellular signal transduction pathways, one effect of which is the induction of modifications in enterocyte cytoskeleton proteins (actin, talin). The cytoskeleton accumulates beneath the attached bacteria to form the pedestals and com-plete the A/E lesion. Exactly how this leads to diarrhea is not known, but the change from the normal microvillus border to the A/E must disrupt intestinal absorptive functions.
In endemic areas, EPEC can be isolated often from the stool of asymptomatic adults, but unlike ETEC, these strains do not seem to cause traveler’s diarrhea in individuals new to the area. This casts doubt on whether adults have acquired immunity or resistance based on physiologic factors.
EHEC disease and the accompanying hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) are the result of consumption of products from animals colonized with EHEC strains. It is also clear from secondary cases in families during outbreaks that person-to-person transmission also occurs. This disease occurs more in developed rather than in developing countries.
EHEC was first recognized in the early 1980s when outbreaks of HUS (hemolytic anemia, renal failure, and thrombocytopenia) were linked to a single E. coli serotype, O157:H7. Since then EHEC disease has emerged as an important cause of bloody diar-rhea in industrialized nations and retained a remarkable but not exclusive relationshipwith the O157:H7 serotype, particularly in North America. Regional and national out-breaks associated with unpasteurized juices and hamburger have caught the attention of the public, the press, and the government.
The emergence of EHEC is related to its virulence , low infecting dose, common reservoir (cattle), and changes in the modern food processing industry that pro-vide us with fresher meat (and bacteria). The low infecting dose, estimated at 100 to 200 organisms, is particularly important. This is a level where food need not come directly from the infected animal, only be contaminated by it. For example, large modern meat processing plants can mix EHEC from colonized cattle at one ranch into beef from hun-dreds of other farms and quickly ship it all over the country. Therefore, the worst out-breaks have been seen in countries with the most advanced food production systems. If the organisms are ground into hamburger, an infecting dose of EHEC may remain even after cooking if the meat is left rare in the middle. Unpasteurized milk carries an obvious risk but fruits and vegetables have also been the source for EHEC infection. In these in-stances the EHEC from the manure of cattle grazing nearby has contaminated these prod-ucts in the field. The bacterial dose from a few “drop” apples (those picked up from the ground) included in a batch of cider has been enough to cause disease.
The distinguishing feature of the EHEC is the production of both Shiga toxins and the A/E lesions described above for EPEC. Another difference between EHEC and EPEC is that EHEC primarily attacks the colon while EPEC infects the small intestine. The multi-ple extraintestinal features such as HUS appear to be the result of circulating Shiga toxin. The interaction of EHEC with enterocytes is much the same as EPEC, except the EHEC strains do not form localized microcolonies on the mucosa. The outer membrane protein intimin mediates adherence and the contact secretion system injects the E. coli secretion proteins, which cause alterations in the host cytoskeleton. The genes for these properties are also found in a PAI.
The A/E features alone are sufficient to cause nonbloody diarrhea. Shiga toxin pro-duction causes capillary thrombosis and inflammation of the colonic mucosa, leading to a hemorrhagic colitis. Although it has not been detected in the blood of human cases, Shiga toxin is presumed to be absorbed across the denuded intestinal mucosa. Circulating Shiga toxin binds to renal tissue where its glycoprotein receptor is particularly abundant, caus-ing glomerular swelling and the deposition of fibrin and platelets in the microvasculature. How Shiga toxin causes hemolysis is less clear; perhaps the erythrocytes are simply dam-aged as they attempt to traverse the occluded capillaries. The strong association between EHEC disease and the O157:H7 serotype suggests that EHEC are more than just Shiga toxin – producing EPEC. The O157:H7 strains invariably have a large plasmid which may contain other virulence genes. Cases and outbreaks caused by Shiga toxin – producing E. coli of other serotypes may be on the rise and are common in some countries. Howthey differ from O157:H7 EPEC remains to be seen.
Virtually all aspects of EIEC disease are identical to Shigella , which under-scores the close relationship of the Shigella and Escherichia genera. Epidemiologically,EIEC infections are essentially restricted to children under 5 years of age living in devel- oping nations. The occasional documented outbreaks in industrialized nations are usuallylinked to contaminated food or water. This lower incidence of person-to-person transmis-sion correlates with the observation that the infecting dose for EIEC is higher than it is for Shigella. Humans are the only known reservoir.
EAEC is associated with a protracted (>14 days) mucoid, watery diarrhea in infants and children in developing countries. The EAEC strains are defined on the basis of the pattern the bacteria make (eg, localized, diffuse, stacked) when adhering to cultured mammalian cells. Even though EAEC adheres tightly to the intestinal mucosa, the A/E lesions of the EPEC and EHEC are not present. The pathogenesis of diarrhea is not clearly understood but may involve the ability to form a mucus – bacteria biofilm on the intestinal surface. In-flammatory cells are not seen. |
Typically a New Jersey homeowner will not know if there is lead in their home until it is detected in their child’s blood after a lead screening.
At this point the child will have suffered from loss of brain cells and the risk of decreased cognitive functions that are irreversible, according to a study conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Integrated Science Assessment.
“We are currently using our kids now as literal lead detectors,” says Ben Haygood, environmental health policy director of Trenton-based nonprofit Isles. “We are not remediating our homes until the kid pops hot so we have to make an assumption that the vast majority of the homes in New Jersey built prior to 1978 are lead burdened.”
Although lead in homes is more prominent in low-income communities, this is not a low-income community issue. “It is an older housing issue,” says Haygood. Homes in New Jersey built prior to 1978 were likely to have been painted with lead-based paint. Haygood says this covers around 68 percent of the homes in the state today.
“People don’t really understand that your house can be beautiful, but if it was built in 1977 and you never remediated or repainted, you’re probably getting exposed to lead paint,” Haygood says.
As Newark is in the midst of a lead in water crisis, Isles is holding a symposium, “Lead Policy and the Law,” on Wednesday, November 6, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Seton Hall Law School in Newark. The program will address lead throughout the state, its various sources, possible solutions, and how to end lead poisoning. For more information or to register, go online at isles.org/event/lead-policy-the-law.
The half-day event will be a three-panel discussion including a focus on the legal and regulatory side of the issues with a Q&A and actions steps presented at the end.
The first panel will consist of representatives from Advocates for Children of New Jersey and Green and Healthy Homes Initiative discussing New Jersey’s legal landscape, practices that can be integrated from other states, and more.
The second panel will pertain to tenant rights, and the third panel will be discussing safeguarding children through early intervention and effective enforcement of lead screenings.
“I want to encourage all people in the room to know how to engage and step forward and work on the issue,” Haygood says. “We are going to offer several different routes that they can engage in such as local community outreach.”
Haygood hopes this symposium will frame this complex issue in attendees’ minds and encourage them to step into one of the many areas needed for action. Haygood says water poisoning accounts for around 15 to 20 percent of lead poisoning in the state.
In older homes, as doors and windows are constantly opened and closed throughout the years, it causes chipping and peeling in the paint, causing lead dust to get into the air, which is unavoidable to inhale.
If the results of a child’s elevated blood lead level test is at least 5 micrograms per decimeter or more, the local health department is required to remove that lead source from the home. A home can have multiple sources of lead besides paint and water, such as lead-based cooking utensils.
A lead screening test requires only a blood sample, and New Jersey is one of the few states that has a universal screening requirement, but it is not being enforced, Haygood said.
“If we’re going to do anything to stop it, screening really should be done before age 3 before IQ points get taken out,” Haygood says. “At the younger ages are when the kids’ brain cells really get damaged.”
A major issue is when parents do not follow the pediatrician’s instructions to get their children screened.
“This occurs because some parents are hesitant and don’t have the will or capacity to go and get it done,” Haygood says, admitting he was a little late in getting his own child screened.
One of the action steps at the symposium will be to explain to pediatricians why it is so important to follow up with parents about their child’s lead screening. Pregnancy and lead poisoning can be a vicious cycle because when the lead enters the mother’s blood it can easily be passed to her child.
“Lead is part of a cycle that interferes with children’s ability to achieve their full potential. The behavior issues that result from lead poisoning diminish academic success and lead to discipline issues that help feed the school to prison pipeline,” according to the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative NJ Lead Poisoning Prevention Action Plan.
In their report, they mention that 4,800 children in 2016 had elevated blood lead levels, and children are the most at-risk for elevated blood lead in low-income communities and communities of color, such as Trenton and Hamilton.
Isles receives grants that allows them to help remediate the homes of individuals who are below a certain income level.
“Trenton has a large amount of lower income housing stock that is not a healthy home. We do a lot of work with energy efficiency and mold remediation and other healthy home development,” Haygood says.
When these homes are remediated, Haygood has witnessed so many of them become “walkaways” because they usually have other damages such as mold and structural issues accompanying the lead, causing the homeowners to leave altogether.
“In Isles we have gone door to door asking if folks would like a free lead test,” Haygood says.
Isles is trying to address the cases they are aware of. However, Haygood says that they are working on gaining access to the Department of Health’s map, which identifies where lead concentrations are.
“We want to show people that this is an infrastructure issue. We’re poisoning kids, and they are ending up losing brain cells. Some have to go into special intervention and special-ed and it’s costing a lot,” Haygood says. “I don’t want to make the business case; this is really a moral and ethical case. Not only will lead remediation in the paint of your house increase your property value, it will stop kids from being poisoned, which saves society billions of dollars in the long run.”
Haygood considers the issue of lead a statewide and nationwide crisis. However, it is a crisis that can be fixed with adjustments to infrastructure.
Along with remediation of homes, many service lines need to be replaced that are coated in lead that bring water through the pipes to homes.
“With the water side, it’s a two-pronged solution: implement filters and replace lead service lines and all of the pipelines and plumbing fixtures that have lead,” Haygood said.
He hopes that the symposium will expand the conversation about lead throughout the state and generate solutions that will be integrated statewide. |

South Florida continues to have the highest rate of new HIV diagnoses in the country, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and prevention.
On average, for every hundred thousand Americans, about 15 people were diagnosed with HIV in 2016, the most recent year of data analyzed by the CDC.
Miami had a new HIV rate nearly four times the national average: 54 new diagnoses of the virus for every 100,000 people—making it the highest new HIV rate in the country. Four other Florida cities made it into the top ten list for new case rates: Fort Lauderdale at 45, West Palm Beach at 23, and Jacksonville at 26.
“But we’re hoping to see big changes,” says Trudy Love, the HIV program coordinator with Broward Health.
She and other people who work in HIV prevention say Florida has a lot of challenges. There’s the spike in heroin use, stigma around testing and treatment, a continued need to encourage safer sex practices, limited access to needle exchange, and Florida was slower than a lot of other places to support the use of PrEP—the medication approved to prevent HIV transmission.
“We compare it to a birth control pill: It is a pill that has to be taken every day,” says Love.
Florida’s Health Departments hope to offer PrEP at no or reduced cost by the end of this year. In the meantime, Love says South Florida’s affordable housing crisis makes it difficult to keep people in treatment.
“They may come and get their medication, but if they're not stable, are you really going to take your medication? The answer is, ‘No,’” says Love.
PBS NewsHour and Science magazine recently teamed up to examine the global obstacles to ending the HIV epidemic. Much of the project focused on Florida:

Houseplants tend to be from the same few places over and over again: Southeast Asia is popular, as are Central America and Brazil. But one of the richest sources of houseplants, particularly succulent houseplants, is the southernmost segment of Africa. South Africa lucks out because it has the Karoo, a very dry inland section of the southern end of the continent. The westernmost section of the Karoo (which is actually called the Succulent Karoo) is very dry, hot, and windy, and the plants living there have gone to fairly extreme lengths to survive, dispensing with stems entirely (Lithops spp.), or living buried in the soil with only the translucent leaf "windows" exposed to the sun (Lithops again, but also some Haworthias, Senecios, and Peperomias).
Most of us don't actually keep the inside of our homes broiling hot and windy, but the low humidity and sometimes-neglectful watering of some homes are compatible with these plants' needs as long as enough light is provided. Other South African houseplant species come from the moister areas to the south and east of the Succulent Karoo, but these also tend to be more tolerant of dry soil and air than your average tropical rainforest plant. (There are less drought-tolerant exceptions, like Saintpaulia and Streptocarpus.)
It's difficult to come up with a comprehensive list of houseplants from this region, because it's impossible to be precise about "houseplant" and "this region." Some of the plants on the list are only found in a single fairly tiny location, say around a specific town. Others have ranges stretching up through East and Central Africa, or even east to Madagascar and around the Indian Ocean. But these, at least, can naturally be found at some spot or another within the southernish part of Africa, wherever else they might or might not exist.
For the recommends, I'll go with Aloe harlana, Strelitzia nicolai, and Euphorbia pseudocactus. All three are pretty easy-going most of the time -- I've literally never had a problem with my Aloe harlana, and only the most minor problems with Euphorbia pseudocactus, which were entirely my fault anyway. Strelitzia nicolai and I have had our ups and downs, but I'm still fond of it, so much so that I'm apparently willing to delude myself into thinking it's an entirely different plant so I can justify purchasing it over and over.
For the anti-recommend, I don't know. I've had minor problems with all seven of the remaining plants from the list, ranging from generalized failure to thrive (Chlorophytum, Senecio) to various speeds and flavors of decline and rot (Gasteria, Sansevieria, Saintpaulia), to extreme demands for light and the heartbreak of etiolation that causes (Euphorbia), to underwatering followed by hardcore needle drop (Asparagus).
I think Sansevieria is the one I'm least likely to buy in the future, as the Sansevieria problems have been a lot more permanent, and seem to happen to every specimen I buy sooner or later. Most people will think this is ridiculous, because everybody but me finds Sansevierias easy to grow. But that's the one I want for the anti-recommend anyway.

Introduction: African Savannah Diorama
First of all, this is my second instructable, so don’t be to judgy please.
Ok, here’s the thing; I have a two year old daughter and she absolutely adores animals. Her toy animal collection by now is 57 animal toys and counting. By the time I finish this project, that number will probably be much higher. Our favorite TV channel is NatGeo Wild and we watch it together when we can. Since she likes to play with her toy animals, it seemed that the only logical step for me is to make a certain habitat for the toys. I wanted it to be big enough, to be sturdy enough and toxic free, from mainly natural materials.
Since the number of Africa dwelling animals is the highest in her collection, I will start with that. I wanted to make a suitable “toy” for a two year old, not to spend too much, and use as much material from my household.
So, let’s get started.
First of all this is a long and repetitive process, so if you are in a hurry, don’t even start it.
Materials and tools:
- base (I used plywood)
- Styrofoam (fine granulated)
- toilet paper (TP)
- paper towels (PT)
- old newspaper
- wire (I used copper)
- PVA glue (water based)
- blowtorch (optional)
- Accu drill (optional)
- masking tape
- fine granulated sand (quartz sand)
- wood putty (acrylic)
- primer (acrylic)
- paints (acrylic)

Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: PART 1: DIORAMA
Firstly I have to apologize for not taking photos of first three steps. I simply forgot. So here’s a quick recap. Get a base.
I figured that it needs to be quite large to accommodate all the animals, and the thing I had laying around was a top part of a long gone table.
By some random chance I had some styrofoam lying around.
Glue the styro to your base. I used PVA glue (or any kind of wood glue will do nicely) because Polychloroprene based glues will dissolve styrofoam.
Cut the excess of styro from the base. Just use a sharp knife, or check STEP 3.
I wanted for my African Savannah to have a “Lion King-ish” look, therefore the rock formation on one side.
Cut the styro to form a base and then advance upwards.
Helpful thing is adding toothpicks between the layers of styro to keep them in place.
Step 2: Rock Formation
When you arrange the rock formation, weigh it down. PVA glue takes time to cure, so as I mentioned before, this is going to be a slow process. But when something is getting dry, you can always do something else. We’ll get to that.
You can add more rock formations if you feel like it.
Scoop up the excess glue since it’s gonna be a pain in the neck later on if you don’t. You can use just about anything: PT, TP, fingers or a spatula.
I wanted to have the afore mentioned Lion King Rock and it kinda came to me to make a little water hole which comes from the waterfall from the rock and a little cave on the backside of the rock. Time to do some crude markings for the cutting of styrofoam.
Step 3: Cutting the Styrofoam
To cut the styro the easiest way would be with a foam cutter. Since I don’t have one, I’m gonna use a rather crude but effective method. Take a blowtorch and heat up a knife. I have one knife that I’m not sorry to use for that kind of purpose. You don’t have to heat it up for the knife to be glowing red, just keep it over the flame for about 15-20 seconds which will give you about 30 seconds of “work time” with the knife. Wear protective gloves so you don’t burn yourself. If you’ve never done this before, have a few practice cuts on the leftover styro. When it’s hot, the knife slices through styro like, you guessed it, a hot knife through butter.
Next, you want to form the rock to give it, well, a rocky shape. Just keep heating up the knife and using the flat side of the knife get rid of right angles and sharp points.
Step 4: Paper Mache-ing
Now comes the long and repetitive process. As I mentioned in the intro, this toy habitat needs to be sturdy. With PVA glue and layers of paper (or paper mac-he) you can achieve that rigidity and sturdiness. For those of you who never did paper mac-he here are a few guidelines: Since paper is mostly cellulose, and wood is cellulose, PVA (or any wood glue) works perfectly with paper. The trick is to soak the paper in glue and then adding another layer, and another, and another, and another.....you get the picture. I found out through trial and error that the best paper for first layer and the best paper for modeling shapes is TP because of its’ high soaking power. So it’s not necessary to soak it up in glue first. Just apply the glue (actually, a mixture of 1:3 of PVA and water works perfectly) to the surface and put the paper on top. Then you can model the paper according to the surface. The tricky part is The Rock (sorry Dwayne Johnson) . Just remember to keep the paper soaked and model it with brushes. If you’re left with creases, just smooth them over with a brush. A large brush will do.
Step 5: More Paper Mache-ing
Not really good looking right now, I know, but trust me, as soon as you get the first layer of primer on top of it, it’s gonna be a totally different story. After each layer, allow it to dry up completely. Trust me, I will explain that later on. Anyway, the Sun and the heat are your allies in this case.
The Rock needed some extra coating, so I used wood putty mixed with PVA . I used fingers to smooth it over the rock. I don’t like to use latex gloves since they kinda numb the feeling.
Once the whole thing is dry, I sanded it a bit just to get rid of sharp edges.
Step 6: Failed Termite Mound
Next, the idea was to add a Termite mound to my diorama. Now, you have to know that the whole thing won’t be in scale, since toy animals are not in scale also.
I used a part of egg carton, filled it up with TP soaked in my PVA-water mix, glued it to the base and then added extra layers of TP to make the shape of a ant mound.
You just roll up a piece of TP, soak it in the mix and shape it around. You add another one, and another until you have your desired shape. It turned out pretty ok.
By now it was all wet and soaked so I had to leave it over night to dry. I realized my mistake the next day. Since I didn’t let the original cone to dry, outer layers have dried, but the center hasn’t (since the outer layers made it air tight) and the mound was all soft and squishy. I gave up on the mound for I didn’t want to wait another day. Instead of the ant mound I would place a tree in its’ place.
Step 7: Waterfall
Since I messed up the Termite mound, I decided to make the waterfall and little stream that feeds the lake /waterhole. First, you have to decide where the water should come from and where should it hit the “rocks” . Basically it’s just common physics but you can decide on the parameters. You need some kind of support for later modeling, I decided to go with copper wire which I twirled (described in the STEP). Ok, so just form some sort of parabola from the exit point to the bottom of the waterfall. Just puncture a hole and don’t be stingy on the wire length. The more you stick it in the styro, the more it will hold. And you get to test the hardness of your previous layers by puncturing the holes.
Now I had to form a waterfall. Again, I used TP, PVA only, wrapped it around the wire and made it look like, well, falling water. A couple of layers later, and adding some foam (cotton swabs) and it started to look like a waterfall.
Needles to say, let the whole thing dry, and then move to the next step which is basing.
Step 8: Basing the Base
I’ve been a modeleer for most of my life and I found this Sandy paste made by Vallejo (I use their colors also) which I’ve never tried. Time to give it a go. I had fun applying it, and since it is water based i did get my hands dirty. When dry (in about an hour) it made a nice texture for further plans.
Although the Sandy Paste did its’ thing, I still wasn’t satisfied, so I wanted to add some extra texture to the whole thing. Oh, you’ve noticed the trees? I will describe the process for making the trees later. Anyway, what you need next is fine sand (any color since it’s gonna be painted anyway) and our well known ally PVA and water mix, only make it 1:1 ratio. You want to make the sand stick (and hold) to the base. So, just pour the mix, even it out with brush or spatula, and sprinkle sand over it. Try to sprinkle it from at least half a meter above since it will disperse more evenly and it will stick better to the mix.
So, the trick is: where there’s glue - the sand will stick and you will get texture. After it’s half dried, you can tip over the whole thing to get the excess of the sand of, or you can rotate it on its’ sides and tap it from below. You need to get rid of extra sand otherwise it will be everywhere. Note that this diorama is meant for indoors. So, after getting rid of extra sand, you can fill in any spots that you’ve missed (if any). If you’re repeating the process, remember to get rid of extra sand again. When dry, use your brush to completely cover the whole thing (i.e. sand) in you 1:1 mixture of PVA and water. Let dry.
Step 9: More Basing and Water Hole
Now that the whole thing is dry, some missed spots will appear. Repeat the procedure from step 15 with the sand.
After I saw the whole thing covered with sand, something was not right. I couldn’t put my mind to it what it was and then it hit me in the evening as I was watching Nat-Geo! It was tracks of animals and mud at the edge of the watering hole. So I made them.
Step 10: Painting the Water Hole
Now we’ve come to my favorite part: Painting!
I decided to paint the lake/water hole first because it’s in a depression so it can be easily covered later and it’s in the middle of the diorama so it would be hard to get to when “the plain” is getting dry. First of all, African water holes aren’t blue like Caribbean lagoons, but this is a diorama for a two year old, and she expects water to be blue. However, I’m not going to just paint it blue and leave it that (though she won’t know the difference) but my perfectionism for painting and creating stuff just won’t let me. I’m going to make it to appear deep than it really is.
NOTE: I DID THIS THE WRONG WAY. IT’S EASIER IF YOU START WITH LIGHER SHADES ON THE RIM AND MOVE TOWARDS THE CENTRE ADDING DARKER SHADES.
Anyway, here’s how I did it.
In order to give it a perspective of depth, the middle of the water hole needs to be the darkest shade and as we move outwards it becomes lighter. Just drop a few drops of your darkest blue (I use Vallejo model colors) in the middle. Then, using your brush, smudge it around a bit. Start adding a lighter shade of blue, adding water sou you can blend the two shades together. Repeat until the whole water hole is painted.
Next, I painted the slopes of the water hole for same reasons I did the water hole first. It has to look like trodden mud, so grab some brown color, 2 or 3 shades and paint the darkest first. Add some smudges with your brush and there you have it. Not what I really intended, but never mind, we’ll get to that later. You can see that the tree trunk is already painted, but it’s irrelevant since I was just trying to see what it would look like when dry.
Step 11: Painting the "plain"
I used three colors for the “plain” and one tree. As you can see they are Pebeo deco colors, and I’ve had them for years. I use these with large surfaces since they are pretty cheap, their covering ability is awesome and they can easily be diluted with water. Which Acrylic stand for. Duuuh.
I used the most left color, or the darkest shade to cover the whole thing. It doesn’t need to be perfectly covered, every spot painted as you can see in some parts, we’ll get to that.
Now it’s begging to look like something, finally!
Next, I did trees in some basic coat, you can go with anything here, let your imagination go! I wanted the trees to be in that earthy tone in which the entire diorama will be. The white thing in the water hole is PVA glue, no water added. This gives the water hole a kid of texture, it’s transparent when dry (well, mostly transparent) and you can paint over it again. You can skip this if you want to. Just cover the water hole with gloss varnish and you do that as the last thing on the diorama.
You can see how it looks when dry (too much of PVA and too thick layers. I mean it looks ok for a sea with foaming waves, but this didn’t work for me, I will correct that later on.
Step 12: Drybrushing
The “plain” need some lighter tone so I drybrushed it with yellow. The right part is drybrushed.
Drybrushing is a technique which is excellent for bulges, ridges and any parts that literally stand out. What you do is, you take a brush, dip it in paint, and then wipe it almost clean. Keep a rag or a paper near by and then try it. Brush needs to leave a mark of paint when you really press it hard, not sooner. I used a large brush to get it done quicker.
Step 13: Rock Formations
The rocks. As you can see, I painted those in dark gray tone (remembering Lion King and the famous Rock) but you can really can go with anything. Yellow, red, brown etc. Just Google it.
Next, drybrush it with a lighter tone. Repeat with smaller Rock.
Step 14: Flocking
Since I do scale modeling, miniatures and play Warhammer, I used Noch's flock for dry grass. It’s not necessary, but it gives the whole diorama a better “feel” and again, my perfectionism wouldn’t let me do it without this. To apply this, check step 15. The only trick is, you have to (when it’s dry, of course) scrape the excess grass of. I used an old tooth brush. Scoop it of, and put it back in the bag.
Next, i found an old broom and decided to use it as some form of reeds for my water hole. I just cut the tips of, made hole in the base with an awl, put some of PVA into it and placed my cut pieces in the hole.
Step 15: Painting the Trees
I just covered them up with a basic paint, then using drybrush technique did some highlighting on them and painted the blossoms/leaves.
Step 16: Painting the Waterfall and Water Hole
As any scale modeler will tell you, the hardest thing to do on a diorama is water. I was not satisfied with the way my water hole turned out so I went and bought the effect which is meant for faking water. It’s made by Vallejo , it’s water based and it’s easy to handle. You just pour it into pre made space and you wait for 24 hrs. The result is great! However, I wanted to give my little creek from the waterfall a sort of motion, fluidity. So, when I poured in the Still Water effect, I added a bit of blue color (lighter shade followed by darker shade) and made the motion of the water with a brush. This liquid (Still Water effect) is very viscous so the paint really stays where you want it to be. I let the first layer dry, the one with the paint in it, and then added another layer. Layers are about 3mm thick.
Now, regarding the waterfall, just paint the it white at first and then add a bit of blue at the mere end of it. After that, thin your blue with water and paint the lower end of waterfall and the little stream flowing on the rock. Try to use the color with which the creek begins. After everything is dry, just drybrush with white to achieve the foaming effect of the water.
Step 17: PART 2 : the Trees
When I did all the shapes on the base, I figured I’m missing something, so I decided to make some trees. As I said on the sart of this project, I wanted to do everything, well, almost everything with the stuff that’s avaliable at every household. So here are the tools that I used. A drill isn’t neccessary, but it gets the job done pretty quickly. As you can see, these are basic tools, pliers, brushes, masking tape, a piece of wooden rod,wire, and our dear friend: PVA glue.
STEP 1: get some inspiration on the trees. I just googled “baobab”.
STEP 2: Depending on the size of the tree, you need to cut a lenght of wire. As you can see, this one is about 30cm long, and this will be the tallest tree on the diorama. Cut 5 pieces of approximately the same lenght, it doesn’t really matter if you miss an inch, or 2.54 cm.
STEP 3: Fold each piece in half and place the folded end into the drill. Hold the loose ends of the wire with pliers and turn on the drill. SLOWLY at first, you can increase the speed as the wire twines.. Just keep it gonig and you will end with nice twined wire that looks like this:
I used copper wire which I’ve salvaged from an old electro motor from an old washing machine, but any kind of not too rigid wire will do.
STEP 4: repeat the procedure with remaining pieces.
Step 18: Making the Trees 2
Now that you’ve made all 5 (or more) pieces, take the wooden piece of rod (acctually it can be anything that has the rigidity to support our tree; metal rod, used pen, a pencil, you get the idea.) and tape it with masking tape, or duct tape (masking tape is cheaper and the papaer mache will stick to it better). Try to press the layers of the tape hard so you won’t get a soft base for later steps. Depending on what you want to make (in my case - a Baobab tree), make sure you tape enough layers around your piece of rod. You don’t have to do this step, but it saves time which is the only thing that you really abuse in this project. Up to this point, this project has taken me 6 days. Next thing you want to do is to wrap five pieces of wire onto the top of the rod so they are firmly in place. Those pieces will the base for the branches. Just arrange them to be more or less evenly apart. Next: spread hose wires apart to make them in a star shape, and fold them in two to get more surface on which to apply paper mache.You can use the drill again in the same manner as before. When branches are done, form them in shape you wish and apply masking tape to them to make paper mache-ing easier. Make sure that the masking tape is firmly applied. Do this with all branches. Attach the “tree” onto something or just clamp it into a vise. It makes further steps easier.
Step 19: Still Making the Trees
Now it’s time to get back to PVA + water mix, make it 1:1 this time as it dries up sooner and it’s easier to manipulate over branches. Again, use TP for first layers. Start from the top of the tree and move your way up to the tips of the branches. A good thing to do is to sort of spiral wet TP around each branch.
Smooth it over with a brush dipped in the PVA-water mix. Once all of the branches are done, you can go ahead with the stump of the tree.Apply a leyer of mix, and couple of layers of TP. Repeat.
You can make the trees while you're waiting for your styro to cure, or your PVA mix to dry.
Step 20: Making the Trees - the End
Now it’s time to get the tree trunk really “trunkish” and to get that baobab shape. I took the old noews paper and cut strips of it o make paper mache-ing easier. So, once again apply a layer of PVA+water mix, wrap one strip like a spiral around the trunk of the tree, and repeat. You can go y couple of layers in one direction (from bottom to top) and the other couple of layers in the opposite direvtion (from top to bottom). Since this should resemble a Baobab tree, my tree trunk is much thicker at the bottom and up to one third of the trunk than it it as the top, so, accordingly I applied neewspaper strips around the trunk. I think i did a few dozen strips in layers for the trunk, I'm sorry, I forgot to count them.
Needless to say: let the whole thing dry.
Step 21: Finished Diorama
That’s it! The point of this whole project is to enjoy it and for you child to enjoy it. These instrucions are more guidelines than rules, let your imagination go! |
10.1 Political Structure of the City-States
A city-state is ruled, first and foremost, by a ruling council. These council members can have different names, such as Senator or Herald. HELP <city> will show you what the ruling council name for that city is. In order to become a member of the ruling council (which normally have five members), you must contest an existing member in an election, and triumph in the election. HELP ELECTIONS will give you detailed information about elections and referendums. Out of the ruling council members, one member, who requires a majority support among the five, becomes the leader of that city. The leader can have various names, such as the Chair of the Secretariat in Spinesreach, or the Vanguard in Enorian. The leader of the ruling council then may appoint people to the heads of ten different ministries, and each of these ministers may appoint aides. These are: Ministry of the Ambassador (responsible for newbies and new citizens) Ministry of War (responsible for all military matters) Ministry of Security (responsible for internal security) Ministry of the Treasury (responsible for the city's working funds) Ministry of the Steward (responsible for the city coffers) Ministry of Trade (responsible for trade with villages) Ministry of the Chancellor (responsible for internal economics) Ministry of Cultural Affairs (responsible for events and morale) Ministry of Development (responsible for city construction and maintenance) Ministry of Research (responsible for ylem and research trees) So, in summary: The people elect the ruling council. The ruling council selects one of their number to be the leader. The leader appoints people to the ten ministries. The ministers appoint aides. Further help on the various ministries may be found under section 10.4 (Ministries). |

It’s taken a long time, but with initiatives like No Smoking Day and significant progress on new measures to tackle smoking, we could finally be in sight of a smoke-free UK. Although there are still more than 100,000 deaths caused by smoking each year, smoking prevalence is at its lowest level since records began in the 1940s. In 1954, around 80% of adults smoked, but current levels are now at just 19%.
While this has been great progress, recent years have seen smoking rates stagnate and we must now crack the ‘final fifth’ of adults who are still smokers, many of whom are desperate to quit.
England bans smoking in cars with children
Just last month, a ban on smoking in cars carrying children in England was passed by MPs. The ban will come into effect on 1 October, and is a welcome measure. Most exposure to second-hand smoke happens in the home, and it is very harmful in enclosed places, such as cars – particularly to children.
Every week, thousands of children are exposed to second-hand smoke in cars, putting them at greater risk of respiratory infections, asthma, and sudden infant death. I would urge families to consider this risk when smoking in cars or the home, with children present.
Introducing standardised packaging
The MPs at Westminster recently heard they will be given the option of voting on the introduction of standardised packaging, before the General Election in May. Current branded packaging is a ubiquitous form of tobacco advertising, used by tobacco companies to attract people to smoking, particular new young smokers.
Australia introduced plain packaging in December 2012 and smoking rates have since plummeted. Before the measure was introduced, daily smoking prevalence stood at 15.1%. Now just 13% of people aged over 14 are daily smokers. This is why I would like to see standardised packaging urgently introduced here in the UK.
We now need governments across the UK to urgently commit to standardised packaging and there needs to be greater efforts to support communities where smoking continues to be a problem. Smoking is an addictive, toxic and deadly habit and it is not our aim to take away freedom of choice, but to help protect people and save lives.
Support for quitting smoking
This No Smoking Day, we’re urging smokers to visit their GP, pharmacist or local NHS stop smoking service to receive information, resources and advice to help them quit smoking.

Casimir Pulaski was born in Poland in 1747. He came to America in 1777, after fighting for Poland’s independence, and joined forces with General Washington. After saving Washington’s life, Pulaski was made brigadier general of the American Cavalry. Wounded in battle, Pulaski died on October 11, 1779.
Casimir Pulaski Day: March 4. Enacted April 30, 1987, from the 1987 Laws of Wisconsin, Act 11. When an observance day falls on a Saturday or Sunday during the school year, it should be observed on the preceding Friday or the following Monday.
Casimir Pulaski grew up in the struggle of Polish patriots against the neighboring powers that sought to annex or assert control over what was at the time the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. By the time he was 22, he was fighting against the new Polish King Stanislaw II, who was seen by many as a puppet of the Russians. Pulaski became an important cavalry officer in a series of wars. But by 1775, the conflict had gone badly for the Polish patriots, and he was exiled to France. There he met the Marquis de Lafayette and Benjamin Franklin, who recruited him to come to America, to fight in the Revolutionary War.
Columbia College historian Dominic Pacyga says Pulaski considered the American Colonists’ fight for independence from Great Britain as similar to Poland’s own struggle for independence.
“There was this revolutionary spirit, the Enlightenment was going on, soon there was going to be the French Revolution,” he says. “So a lot of people were wrapped up in this revolutionary fervor that was going through the West at this time, and they ended up in the United States.”
Some facts: American soldiers balked at the idea of fighting under a “foreign” officer. So, in March of 1778, Congress organized the Pulaski Legion, which was made up of mostly “foreign” soldiers — Colonists and volunteers from France, Germany, and Poland. Pulaski’s Legion turned the tide at the skirmish at Egg Harbor, New York. In May, they drove the British out of Charleston, South Carolina.
But just a few months later, Pulaski died from a mortal wound he received in Savannah, Georgia. In the Early Republic, Pulaski was remembered as a Revolutionary hero, alongside his friend, the Marquis de Lafayette. Several new towns and counties were named “Pulaski” in his memory.

A sacrifice is giving up something to God, often the killing of an animal.
In the Old Testament, animal sacrifices were repeatedly made to cleanse or purify men of their sins, that is, the things they did wrong.
In the New Testament, Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice, dying once for the sins, or wrong doing, of all people.
The sacrifice of Jesus is covered in all four Gospels: Matthew 27:32-55, Mark 15, Luke 22:63 through 23:55, and John 19. After Jesus died and was buried, he rose from the dead, proving his mastery over death and verifying that through him we can live anew with him in heaven.
The book of Hebrews (chapters 7 through 10, especially Hebrews 10:1-18) connects the Old Testament sacrifices with the sacrifice of Jesus. |

Imagine a large cargo ship en route to Australia from Bangladesh, gently sailing through the Malacca Strait suddenly encounters rough seas and thunderstorms. This is when the AI systems on board come into play, as the smart steering system navigates the ship through the rough seas clearing it away from dangerous obstacles. Such a scenario isn’t fictional. Using IoT sensors & AI, autonomous ships are closer to being deployed sooner than later.
Two of Japan’s leading shipping companies, Mitsui O.S.K Lines & Nippon Yusen are collaborating to build smart ships which not only helps navigate the rough seas but also help predict malfunctions and other troubles which would help in eliminating accidents. At present, there are 2,000 maritime accidents daily which will be greatly reduced as more self-navigating ships are introduced in the coming years.
Japan has clearly taken the lead in building capabilities to make ships autonomous. They expect the worldwide demand to grow in the future and The Land of The Rising Sun is well poised to take advantage of future headwinds. Japan’s share in the Global shipbuilding market share has been sinking but with the influx of tech innovation, the country is poised to take 30% of the global market.
Collaboration between shippers and shipbuilders would naturally translate into a huge amount of data being used to potentially speed up development. Nippon Yusen is at the cutting edge of using data to assess collision risks. Moreover, we have Japan Marine, a company that’s working on systems which predict breakdowns by analysing the ship’s condition, its engines, and the oil.
Other countries aren’t far behind to take advantage of technology and get in on the game. Recently, Norway demarcated a testing area for autonomous ships in the high sea. Rolls Royce which builds ship engines have already started the work of developing technology for autonomous shipping.
The Japanese government has also included joint development of self-navigating ships in a national strategy meant to revitalize the economy. Such an initiative from the highest echelons of power in Japan is testament to Japan’s commitment towards autonomous shipping.
Accidents are a major problem for an industry that needs to ensure efficient shipboard operations. As per European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), 70% of accidental events have been attributed to human error on shipboard operations. Minimising such risks is imperative for an industry that’s committed to leverage technology to reduce emissions, enable fuel savings, and save overall cost.
Several countries around the world viz. Finland, the UK, Norway, South Korea and China are taking steps to encourage companies from different industries to collaborate in the development process. Shipbuilders, engine manufacturers, Big Data Analytics & Software companies are coming together to increase the human-machine interface and thrust autonomy into the naval architecture itself.
A couple of months ago, representatives from China, Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Japan, Norway, South Korea & Singapore met virtually to launch & develop Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships(MASS) in ports. The push towards creating International standards will help the cause of Autonomous Ships in the long run.
An international standard is required not only for interoperability but also for sustainable growth and healthy competition. Developing detailed guidelines and conditions for MASS trials in port, establishing common standards of communication, common terminologies, and consistent data reporting systems to facilitate port to port MASS trials is imperative.
Some of the definition have already been laid out. The International Maritime Organization had defined four different degrees of autonomous ships:
Hence, the day is not long away when a cargo ship crossing the Malacca Strait is being operated by Machine Learning algorithm powered by an Artificial Intelligence system.

The last decade has witnessed mass digitization of various industries so that they can improve their efficiencies and increase their bottom line. This means that many companies have amassed large sets of data about their operations. Since the data they’ve collected to is so voluminous, the manual tools (like Excel) they’ve been using till now are unwieldy when it comes to garnering insights.
That’s where Data Science can lend them a hand – to organise the data better so that its viable to process it, and to give organisations insights on how to improve their processes. Data science is all set to take the job market by storm, having been heralded as the sexiest job of the 21st century by Harvard Business Review.
Data Science will find application in various fields of the future because no company can afford to adopt a business-as-usual approach to their products and services, because it will cost them their competitive advantage.
It’s already being used by the biggest companies in the world to deliver services such as intelligent agents that can predict consumer behaviour to offer them relevant purchasing options. Data Science is the bedrock on which artificial intelligence and machine learning are built, so such a foundational skill is certain to strengthen the employability of people proactive enough to learn these skills.
Consider this example: TCS offers 3.5 LPA as a starting salary to the freshers that they hire from colleges. Contrast this with candidates (with no work experience) who have Data Science skills, who get offered an average of 6 LPA. It’s clear that data science skills are highly valued in the market right now.
There’s only one problem though – there aren’t enough qualified professionals. According to recent reports, there are more than 50,000 data science jobs in India that are vacant due to a shortage of skilled professionals. This demand-supply gap has two implications. The first one is that data science professionals are being actively snapped up by companies right now, so they are highly valued. This will reflect in the scope of their work, and the remuneration that they receive. The second implication is that market forces always move towards balancing the demand-supply gap, which means that professionals are soon going to flock towards these courses. This gives you a small window of opportunity to learn the skills that you need right now, in order to secure your future.

The fact that we have a skill shortage, and that the future will be built on the back of data will ensure that data science will be a very lucrative and rewarding career option for graduates. It offers ample opportunities for growth and career development because of its wide-reaching potential, which will let you be a part of the new, data-powered future.

Templates come in handy when working on design projects that use the same basic composition. Some examples are newsletters, magazines, or advertisements that have to maintain a certain size and layout. InDesign allows you to create page layouts and then save those layouts as templates quite easily. Today we will talk about adding guidelines and paragraph styles to a page layout in order to really take advantage of what InDesign has to offer in this realm. We’ll create a template for a basic magazine page layout.
Here we have an example of what can be accomplished.
Designing layouts for a magazine can be tedious and time consuming without templates. Having to set up the parameters of the page for each article can take a lot of time. It only makes sense to create a basic page template that can be used as a base to every page design. In Part 1 of the three part series of designing templates in InDesign, we’ll cover creating and using guidelines.
For this tutorial I am using InDesign CS6 and a Mac, but you can use InDesign as old as CS4 and a PC for the same purposes.
There are a few things that need to be considered before starting on a template. In the example of a magazine, the first thing to be aware of is page size. We’ll consider that most magazines seem to be the standard letter size of 8.5” x 11.” This is a good place to start.
To begin. launch InDesign. Choose the standard letter size, Letter. InDesign automatically sets the page margins to 3p0, but we’ll be making our own margins, so set the page margins to zero. Leave everything else on default and press Okay.
The first thing we’ll want to do is turn on the rulers, if they aren’t already on. Rulers can be found on the Menu Bar under View.
Next, just to make things easier in this case, we’ll change the rulers from Picas (default) to Inches. Right-click on the top ruler and choose Inches. Do the same with the side ruler.
Next, we’ll make our own margins. But, before we start drawing guidelines on our page, we’ll want to be sure that we draw them on our master page so we’ll be sure that every page in our document page has the same guidelines. To switch to the master page, open the Pages Panel from the dock, or find it on the Menu Bar under Window.
In the Pages Panel, the master page exists in the top section and the document page exists in the bottom section. Notice we are currently on the document page because in the Pages Panel, the document page is blue. We’ll want to navigate to the Master page by simply double-clicking on the Master Page icon.
Now we can start drawing our guidelines. To draw a guideline, you simply press and drag from the ruler and let go when you have reached the point at which you want the guide to exist. Press and drag guidelines .375 inch from each edge of the page.
Notice how the guideline is existing inside the parameters of the page. This will keep the guideline inside the page, which seems cleaner to me. If you have difficulty with lining up the guideline to exactly .375, you can always type the number in the x coordinate box (left hand corner) on the Control Panel, below the Menu Bar. For the right side of the page, you can type in 8.125 (this is 8.5 minus .375). The top guideline would be .375, but in the y coordinate box instead of the x. The bottom guideline would be 10.625. Look at that! We are using those math skills!
We’ve now got some perfect margins for our page! Let’s change the color of these guidelines so that when we start adding other guidelines we won’t be confused by cyan lines all over the place. Changing the color of a guideline is simple. You just need to select the guideline with the selection tool. If you can’t select the guideline, make sure to uncheck Lock Guides under View on the Menu Bar, Grids & Guides. Once the guidelines are select, find the option to change the color of the guidelines in Ruler Guides, under Layout on the Menu Bar.
Here we see the Ruler Guides dialogue box and the numerous colors InDesign allows us to assign to each guideline. Choose a color and select Okay. Deselect the guidelines on the page and see how the color has changed! We can now copy all the guidelines and paste the to the second page. Copying and pasting guides is just like copying and pasting an object. You just have to make sure you line them up just right.
Copy and Paste can be a little difficult with guidelines.
For our magazine spread, we know that occasionally part of the page will be allotted to advertisements. Sometimes the ads will take up a vertical part of the page and sometimes it will be horizontal. We better draw guides for both types so that when we use this later to layout text before our ads come in, we’ll know where to put it.
Our first guide needs to be 3.5 inches from the left edge of the page. This is half of the interior of the page. We can use the Zero Point on the ruler to adjust the rulers so that they start measuring from inside the margins of our page.
Press and drag the Zero Point so that it lines up with the corner of the left margin, then press and drag a guideline to 3.5 inches on the page. Press and drag another guideline to 1/8th of an inch to the right of the first guideline. This will be the margin between the ad space and the text space.
We can do the same with the second page. And, we can also change the color of these guidelines as well.

Did you know that over 54% of Americans find clutter overwhelming? This can include physical or digital clutter!
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the number of emails in your inbox? Do you feel like you're constantly behind and can't seem to catch up? If so, don't worry - you're not alone!
In this blog post, we will discuss some email best practices for keeping your inbox under control.
We'll cover everything from how to send emails effectively to how to organize your incoming emails into folders. Follow these tips and you'll be able to breathe a little easier knowing that your inbox is finally under control!
Set Aside a Specific Time
One of the best practices for managing your email is to set aside a specific time each day to check and respond to emails. This will help you avoid feeling overwhelmed by logging in multiple times per day or letting all your emails pile up.
Instead, pick a time that works for you (such as first thing in the morning, mid-day, or the evening) and use that time to respond to emails.
Incoming Emails: Use Delete
It's important to delete emails when they are no longer needed to keep your inbox organized and under control. However, there are times when it is necessary to archive emails instead of deleting them.
When to Delete Emails
If an email is no longer needed, delete it! This includes:
- Old newsletters
- Expired coupons
- Old email chains
- Emails you've responded to
When to Archive Emails
If an email needs to be saved for future reference but isn't needed right away, archive it. This could include
- Meeting minutes
- Any other document that needs to be kept on file
If you want to keep an email but don't want it cluttering up your inbox, archive it. This is a good way to keep important emails without having too many in your inbox.
Email Organization: Best Practices
Organizing your emails is key to keeping your inbox under control. Here are some email organization tips to help you stay on top of things:
Email organization is a necessary practice to keep your inbox under control. There are a variety of labels that can be used to categorize and organize emails, which we will discuss below.
Labels are keywords or phrases that you can use to identify an email. This could be the topic of the email, the sender, or any other keyword that will help you find the email later.
There are two types of labels: system labels and custom labels. System labels are automatically generated by Gmail and cannot be edited, while custom labels can be edited and renamed however you want.
System labels include the following:
- Sent Mail
You can create as many custom labels as you want and you can rename them however you like.
Some common examples of custom labels include:
- To do
- Received today
Email folders are another way to organize your emails. They work in the same way as file folders on a computer: by grouping related emails together, they make it easier to find what you're looking for.
How to Use Email Folders
Create folders that correspond to the topics covered in your email conversations. This could include:
Alternatively, you can create folders for:
- Each of your contacts
- Each day of the week
- Each month
When to Use Email Folders
Folders can be used in conjunction with labels, or they can be used on their own.
Folders are most effective when you want to keep track of a conversation over some time, such as a project you're working on or a conversation with a specific person.
To organize even further, you can create categories for each folder and label. For example, you can create a "Work" category with labels such as:
Within the categories, you can then create folders and labels depending on the topic, contact, or other criteria.
This will help you find emails quickly and easily without having to search through multiple folders.
Today, many companies use email to reach their clientele. This can be great if you are interested in their products or services, but it can quickly become overwhelming if you're not.
A great way to keep your inbox under control is to unsubscribe from emails that you no longer want or need. You can do this by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email.
There are also other methods you can implement to organize your subscription emails. For example, you can assign labels and filters to automatically organize them in the right folder.
Use Filters to Organize Email Folders
Filters are a great way to organize your email folders. By using filters, you can automatically have emails sent to specific folders based on certain criteria such as:
This will help keep your inbox organized and uncluttered so that you can quickly find the emails that you need.
Use the 20/80 Rule
The 20/80 rule is a way to prioritize your response and the organization of your email inbox.
You can apply this to all aspects of life, by focusing on the 20 percent that will produce 80 percent of your results.
In terms of email organization, this means focusing on the 20 percent of emails that are most important and urgent, replying to them first, and organizing them in folders so they can be accessed easily later.
By following these email best practices, you'll be able to keep your email inbox organized and under control.
Create a "Reply By" Folder
A "Reply By" folder is a great way to keep track of emails that require your response.
Create a folder for each day of the week, such as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and so on. As you receive new emails, file them in the appropriate folder. Then set aside time each day to reply to all the emails in that folder.
This will help you keep track of emails that need your attention and ensure that none slip through the cracks.
These are just a few tips for keeping your email inbox organized and under control. With some planning and discipline, you can ensure your email stays manageable.
Create Response Templates
Finally, response templates can save critical time when replying to clients, colleagues, and other contacts.
Create response templates for frequently asked questions or interactions so that you can quickly respond to emails without having to retype the same message over and over again.
Template Sample for New Clients
If you frequently receive emails from new clients, create a template to quickly respond and introduce yourself.
For example, your template could include:
"Thank you for contacting me! I'm excited to work with you on this project. Please let me know if there is any additional information that I can provide."
Template Sample for Colleagues
If you often receive emails from colleagues, create a template to quickly respond and give them the information they need.
Thank you for your email. I've read through the document and I'm happy to provide my input.
I will have a response ready by the end of the day.
In the meantime, please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.
Template Sample for Issues
If you work in a department that requires a lot of troubleshooting, create a template to respond quickly and provide clients with the information they need.
Thank you for contacting us about your issue. I understand that this is very important to you and we will do everything we can to resolve it as quickly as possible.
We are currently looking into the matter and should have a resolution shortly.
In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns.

Although numerous studies have shown the importance of music education in schools, few students learn the basics of music theory as part of core curriculum requirements. Apart from the obvious reasons, this is unfortunate because music is so intertwined with math and science and has been a source of inspirations for many great mathematicians and scientists. In fact, Albert Einstein once said that “the theory of relativity occurred to me by intuition, and music is the driving force behind this intuition. My parents had me study the violin from the time I was six. My new discovery is the result of musical perception.”
If you have never learned how to read music, the following animation by Tim Hansen does a good job of conveying the essentials. After you watch it, listen to some Bach (i.e. mandatory music for mathematicians) and watch an incredible visual representation of music that is rich in mathematical structure. Enjoy! |
Although the conclusion paragraph comes at the end of your essay it should not be seen as an afterthought. As the final paragraph is represents your last chance to make your case and, as such, should follow an extremely rigid format.

In conclusion, the digestive process involves three major steps: ingestion, digestion, and absorption. Ingestion, which occurs in the mouth, helps to increase the surface are of the food particles and prepares them for digestion. In the stomach, digestion begins, and it continues until it reaches the small intestine, where absorption takes place. The digestive process maintains organisms' lives by providing them with energy needed for different functions. |

Behavior is the way in which a person responds to a certain set of conditions. Changes in personality and behavior occur in the majority of patients with brain tumors at some point during their treatment.
In some cases, these changes are so subtle that the patients themselves are more aware of their difficulties than are those around them. In others, it is the caregiver rather than the patient who first recognizes that something is different.
Common cognitive changes and personality-related problems and difficulties experienced by patients with brain tumors are usually associated with:
- Language and Communication: Difficulty with verbal fluency; speaking, reading, and/or writing.
- Emotion and Personality: Psychiatric symptoms such as depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive behaviors; changes in emotional control such as irritability, mood swings, or withdrawal; socially inappropriate behavior; and/or denial that behavior is a problem.
- Learning and Memory (particularly short-term memory): Difficulty processing, storing, and remembering information; short-term memory loss.
- Attention and Concentration: Confusion, easy distraction, difficulty multitasking and planning.
- Executive Functioning/General Intellectual Abilities: Decreased reasoning ability, impaired judgment, inability to connect cause and effect.
The area of the brain affected by the tumor is often linked to the symptoms experienced. The diagram below shows some of the different areas of the brain that are directly related to behavior.
- Frontal lobe: Movement, intelligence, reasoning, behavior, memory, personality, planning, decision making, judgment, initiative, inhibition, mood.
- Temporal lobe: Speech, behavior, memory, hearing, vision, emotions.
- Parietal lobe: Intelligence, reasoning, telling right from left, language, sensation, reading.
It is estimated that more than half of all patients with malignant brain tumors experience some behavioral changes.
A number of factors can lead to changes in behavior in patients with brain tumors. The location, size, and rate of growth of the tumor can have a lot to do with how a patient behaves. Treatments such as radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy can also affect how the patient feels and acts. The psychological and emotional effects of brain tumors are important to consider as well.
Patients with brain tumors should be encouraged to undergo a complete neuropsychological evaluation. This detailed evaluation of a patient’s behavioral, cognitive, and emotional status can help identify issues so that the best treatment can be provided.
Different behavioral issues are addressed in different ways:
- Language and Communication: Typically managed with speech and language therapy, as well as cognitive rehabilitation therapy*.
- Emotional and Personality: Typically managed with cognitive rehabilitation therapy*, psychotherapy, and medication.
- Learning and Memory: Typically managed with cognitive rehabilitation therapy* and speech and language therapy.
- Attention and Concentration: Typically managed with cognitive rehabilitation therapy* and medication.
- Executive Functioning/General Intellectual Abilities: Typically managed with cognitive rehabilitation therapy* and problem-solving therapy.
*Cognitive rehabilitation is specialized therapy designed to help patients regain as much of their mental, physical, and emotional abilities as possible.
It is not unusual for brain tumor symptoms to change over time. Be sure to discuss any new symptoms or changes in existing symptoms with your doctor or nurse as soon as possible.
It is important to note that the information provided here is basic and does not take the place of an in-person assessment by a physician. If there is any question about the seriousness of changes in behavior or any other symptom experienced, please contact your doctor. |

Massachusetts is leading the charge in dual-use solar installations, making it possible to grow some crops and pasture animals while generating clean energy.
By Sarah Shemkus Read full Civil Eats article here
he solar panels in the fields at the University of Massachusetts Crop Research and Education Center don’t look like what most of us have come to expect. Instead of hunkering close to the earth, they’re mounted seven feet off the ground, with ample room for farmers or cows to wander underneath. Panels are separated by two- and three-foot gaps, instead of clustering tightly together. Light streams through these spaces and, underneath, rows of leafy kale and Brussels sprouts replace the typical bare earth or grass.
This unusual arrangement is one of the first examples of a dual-use solar installation—sometimes called agrivoltaics. It’s a photovoltaic array that’s raised far enough off the ground and spaced in such a way that some crops can still grow around and beneath the panels. The goal is to help farmers diversify their income through renewable energy generation, while keeping land in agricultural use and reducing greenhouse gas emissions…. |
Parents/Carers tip for January 2009
Teenagers often make poor choices as they can't see the long term
consequences of their decisions. Parents and Carers often say that they wish
they had made better choices when they were at school. Teenagers often need
some adult prompting to help them look ahead.
Encourage children and teenagers to consider their behaviour through the
filter of these 3 questions:
1. Is the choice safe for me?
2. Is the choice fair to others?
3. Is the choice smart and in my long-term best interests?
You can use these questions to help your son/daughter make sensible
decisions or to help resolve difficult situations that had poor outcomes so
they can see where they went wrong.
Decision-making is hard work for parents as we are always treading a fine
line between being too protective and not protecting children enough.
But if we want children to begin to make smart choices and be in control
rather than out of or under control we need to equip them with knowledge and
skills as well as opportunities to do so.
If you require further help and advice with parenting please contact school. |

Last week I caught part of an article in Time Magazine called “Small Child, Big Worries.” It focuses on a diagnostic manual developed by a non-profit child advocacy group called “Zero To Three.” It has descriptions of many major mental health disorders that afflict older children, teens, and adults. This manual has been around for years, with a most recent revision done in 2005.
I’ll be honest – I’m a little uncertain about this. One, babies have limited communication skills to clarify what’s going on in their mind. Diagnosis would be almost completely done through behavioral observation. Two, child temperament may account for some of the behaviors and emotional reactions that can define a mental illness.
I’m not doubting that babies and toddlers living in a lot of chaos or abuse can’t experience some mental health trauma. I believe that connections to caregivers would have a lot to do with that type of problem. But does it become easier to cross the line between a diagnosed anxiety disorder and normal 18 month old stranger shyness? How do you give mental health treatment to a one year old?
If greater awareness does help some children in great distress, then it’s truly a good thing. However, I also know that the mental health profession can get caught up in over-diagnosis at times. Kids are getting more and more diagnoses all the time in schools. Since childhood is such a time of flexibility, especially for toddlers and babies, I’d just hate to see unnecessary labels being put on tiny ones by over-zealous clinicians or worried parents.
Obviously, as a mental health professional myself, I must say that a diagnostic manual can be of great help. But once the diagnosis is made, it’s so much more important to help the person become functional than to get hung up on the label. Whatever happens with the recently increased awareness from the Time article, I just hope it is used responsibly and with great care. More than anything, I think I have more questions now than answers. I’ll keep and open mind and open eyes.

Lady Liberty stands tall in New York harbor. She once beckoned immigrants to the United States. She also serves as an enduring symbol of friendship between two nations.
Consider the statue’s many symbolic meanings to Americans.
It came to these shores as a gift from France in 1886. France helped the Colonies win their independence from Great Britain during the American Revolution. Thus, our nations’ alliance was formed. The French gave the statue to the then-still-new nation as an expression of that friendship.
The poetic verse etched into Lady Liberty’s base, written by Emma Lazarus, welcomes those “poor huddled masses” to these shores. It beckons immigrants to America, welcomes them, tells them that this is the land of opportunity. To that end, it bears special meaning for me, as my own grandparents entered the United States from Greece and Turkey at the turn of the 20th century at Ellis Island, which is just a few hundred yards from where the Statue of Liberty stands tall in the harbor.
The Statue of Liberty tells the world about our nation’s belief in freedom and its willingness to fight for it, as we have done — with French soldiers fighting at our side in World Wars I and II.
PBS noted this about the film: “For more than 100 years, the Statue of Liberty has been a symbol of hope and refuge for generations of immigrants. In this lyrical, compelling and provocative portrait of the statue, Ken Burns explores both the history of America’s premier symbol and the meaning of liberty itself. Featuring rare archival photographs, paintings and drawings, readings from actual diaries, letters and newspapers of the day, the fascinating story of this universally admired monument is told.”
Ken Burns tells the story through his own prism. The documentary will walk us through the statue’s construction, its delivery to this nation, its history since arriving here and all the contemporary issues that add emphasis to what the statue means.
The broadcast airs tonight at 7 on KACV-TV.

App DescriptionLectures and textbooks can cover the theoretical aspects of protein purification and laboratory classes can teach the practical techniques, but there are other topics which are difficult to learn by conventional methods. In order to purify any protein you need to know which separation techniques are likely to be most effective under the circumstances and, probably more important, which techniques are not. This knowledge cannot be picked up by following a fixed recipe for a class practical. It requires some thought and usually comes with experience, generally during postgraduate research.
This is the iPhone version of the award-winning program that has been widely used in schools, colleges and universities since 1983. Protein Purification's associated tutorial aims to guide you through a simulation of some of the more commonly-used protein separation techniques and to let you experiment with the simulation. It starts off by letting you examine how a simple mixture of proteins behaves during gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography and then goes on to allow the design and testing of full purification protocols using more complex mixtures of proteins.
It is assumed that you are familiar with the theoretical background to the most common separation techniques, enzyme assays etc. and that you understand the concept of the isoelectric point of proteins. The app will model failure as accurately as success - so be careful!

Gardening has been a popular activity in the United States for a number of years. As of 2017, approximately 117 million Americans did some sort of gardening in the preceding 12 months. Creating a garden can take many forms, from landscaping the backyard to creating a front-yard garden that will be the envy of the neighborhood. Even if you’ve never gardened a day in your life, there’s no need to worry about whether or not you have a green thumb, since gardening can be relatively easy if you follow certain steps. This article will look at several tips for creating a front-yard garden.
- Visit the Local Plant Nursery and Garden Centers: One tip for creating a front-yard garden is to visit the local plant nursery and garden centers. Most towns and cities will have at least one of these available, though they often operate on a seasonal basis only (meaning they’re closed during the cold months of fall and winter). Garden centers sell a variety of plants and flowers, and are staffed with people who can recommend specific plants to you depending on where you live. They are a very useful asset especially if you are gardening for the first time.
- Plant Perennials and Shrubs: Another tip for creating a front-yard garden is to stick with planting perennials and shrubs, at least for the first year. Perennials are flowers that grow back every year once a bulb is planted into the ground. Examples of perennials include tulips, daffodils, and gladiolus flowers. As long as the area is properly cared for, the bulbs will sprout every year for a number of years. Shrubs are also a good choice, because once planted and watered, they largely take care of themselves.
- Choose Plants that Grow Easily: And finally, a third tip for creating a front-yard garden is to choose plants that grow easily. As with any activity, some plants and flowers are easier to plant and take care of than others. For example, marigolds are considered a relatively easy flower to plant and take care of, while roses can require a higher skill level. If you’ve never gardened before, it is advisable to choose flowers that require little skill to take care of. This way, you can get used to the rigors of gardening, with little fear that the plants will suddenly die.
In conclusion, there are several tips you can follow for creating a front-yard garden. These tips include, but are certainly not limited to: visiting the local plant nursery and garden centers for plants and advice, planting only perennials and shrubs, and choosing plants that grow easily. These are just a few of the tips you can follow to create a front-yard garden. |
It's that time of year again...
And as the temperature changes outside - your plant care routine should change inside. We know houseplants thrive during the spring and summer, but the real challenge is helping them survive during the fall and winter.
That's where we come in. Modify your current plant care routine by following our top seasonal tips below:
- Move Indoors
If you moved any of your plants outside for the summer, it's time to bring them back indoors before it gets too chilly. Keep in mind they might have picked up a few pesky friends during their summer vacation - so check your plants carefully for pests before bringing them inside.
- Dust Leaves
Like dust accumulates on your bookshelf, it also accumulates on the porous surfaces of your houseplant. Lightly dust off leaves and stems with a damp cloth every week or so. Accumulated dust on leaves plug their pores - making it difficult for plants to "breath" and conduct photosynthesis.
- Increase Humidity
Indoor humidity levels drop considerably during the fall as buildings fire up their heating systems. This can be devastating for houseplants, considering most common varieties are tropical in origin. Try to mist your plants weekly, or invest in a humidifier. And remember to never place potted houseplants next to, or on top of, a heating system.
- Maintain Light
The angle of the sun changes considerably with the season, so pay close attention as fall settles in. Some plants might require a new location - i.e. a spot closer to the windowsill - to receive close to the same amount of sun as they did during the summer. In addition, rotate your plants every week or two so they receive light on all sides.
- Forgo Fertilizer
Foliage growth slows down considerably during the fall and winter months, so withhold from using any fertilizer until next spring, which is the start of the growth season.
- Water Less
This is one of the most important tips to follow. Because plants growth rate is considerably slower in the fall and waiter, your plants won't require as much water as they did during the spring and summer. You might find yourself watering half, or even two-thirds, less frequently. For example, that snake plant might find itself thirsty once every six weeks, instead of every three weeks. And make sure to use tepid water - a freezing cold shower can shock your plants.
* Nervous about under-watering? Follow your gut (or our guidelines below...) and remember you can always add water, but cannot extract.

Is my plant thirsty?
1. Eye it.
Small, tabletop plants typically need water as soon as the surface soil is dry. Take a peek under your plant's foliage to check the color, and consequently moisture, of its potting mix. Moist potting mix will appear darker than dry potting mix.
2. Try it.
Use your finger tip to check the consistency of the potting mix along the edge of the planter. If the first two inches of soil are dry - it's usually a sign that it's time to water your plant. Try to avoid poking around too much though. You don't want to damage your plant's roots.
3. Lift it.
Your potted plant will feel much heavier after it has been watered. If it feels considerably lighter than after you watered it last, chances are it's thirsty.
4. Water it.
When watering, pour tepid water into the planter by the base of the plant until the water begins to trickle into the saucer below. Let the plant soak up the water for about 15 minutes, then empty any remaining water from the saucer. Do not let your plant sit in a saucer of ideal water, which can potentially cause overwatering and root rot. |

Enclosed litter boxes are all the rage, but do cats really like them or are they more for the owner’s benefit? While some cats don’t mind enclosed litter boxes, most of the time, cats prefer open litter boxes. But why is this the case? You don’t need to sit back and settle for something you really don’t want, so keep reading and we’ll go over everything you need to know to make the best decision for you and your cat.
The 5 Pros of Enclosed Litter Boxes
While cats typically don’t like enclosed litter boxes as much as open ones, they do offer numerous advantages. With that in mind, know that many of these are for your benefit only and not your cat’s.
1. Hides the Waste
Nobody wants to walk in and see cat poop, and with an enclosed litter box, you don’t have to. It’s a huge perk, especially if you want to keep them in a more central living area.
2. Keeps Other Pets Out
Dogs are notorious for getting into litter boxes, and enclosed spaces are a way you can easily keep them out of it. Not every enclosed litter box is 100% dog-proof, but we’re sure you can find an option that keeps other pets out.
3. Provides Privacy
Some cats like a little privacy when they’re doing their business, and an enclosed litter box gives them just that. This is especially important if the litter box is in a main living area where you spend a lot of your time. However, you should really give your cat a private place to potty whenever possible.
4. Helps With Odor Control
Enclosed litter boxes help trap odors inside the litter box, which keeps the odor away from spreading around your home. You still need to keep up with the cleaning, but there’s no denying that it helps keep the odors at bay.
5. More Aesthetically Pleasing
Enclosed litter boxes often hide the litter, and you can find them in tons of styles and designs. They’re far more aesthetically pleasing than open litter boxes, which is a big win for the rest of your home décor.
The 3 Cons of Enclosed Litter Boxes
The truth of the matter is that many cats prefer open litter boxes over enclosed litter boxes. There are a few different reasons for this, and while you can do something about some of them, there are others that just come with the enclosed design.
1. They Trap Odors Inside
You like enclosed litter boxes because it keeps the odor out of your home, but that’s because it’s all stuck in the litter box. Cats don’t like the smell either, and they have far more scent receptors than humans. If your cat has a choice between a stinky litter box and a clean place to go, they will pick the place that doesn’t smell.
2. They Can Be Too Small for Your Cat
Your cat needs to have enough space to turn around and find a nice place to relieve themselves, and often, an enclosed litter box is just too small. Most of the time, enclosed litter boxes just aren’t comfortable for cats to use.
3. They Can Make Your Cat Feel Trapped
Whenever your cat goes into an area with one way in or out and it’s completely enclosed, it can be overwhelming for them. There’s really no way around this, but the larger the litter box, the less likely it is to make them so uncomfortable.
How to Make Your Cat Like an Enclosed Litter Box Better
If your cat doesn’t like enclosed litter boxes as much but you prefer them, what can you do about it? If you follow the tips we’ve highlighted below, you can make enclosed litter boxes a bit more palatable for your feline friends.
Get a Bigger One
One of the top issues cats have with enclosed litter boxes is how cramped they can feel, and the easiest way to remedy this is to give them a bigger litter box. Bigger boxes make it a bit easier for your cat to move around inside them, which is a big deal for eliminating waste comfortably.
Clean Them Regularly
Enclosed litter boxes can trap odors inside them, making it so your cat wants to stay away from them. If you regularly clean out the litter boxes, they won’t smell nearly as bad, and it’s more hygienic for your cat.
Put It in a Safe Place
One of the biggest issues with enclosed litter boxes is that your cat feels trapped since they can’t watch their surroundings while they’re vulnerable. However, if you put it somewhere where they know they’re safe and won’t be bothered by other pets or people, this could help them adjust and feel safer when in the enclosed space.
While cats might not like enclosed litter boxes as much as open litter boxes, if you get a big enough one, keep it clean, and make them feel safe there, your cat should like it enough to keep using it. While you might need to spend a little more to get the best litter box for your cat, they last for years and are well worth the investment.

About breast cancer chemotherapy
This page tells you about chemotherapy for breast cancer. You can find information about
About chemotherapy for breast cancer
Chemotherapy means treatment with drugs that kill cancer cells. For breast cancer, you may have chemotherapy
- Before surgery to shrink a tumour down and make surgery possible or less disfiguring
- After surgery to reduce the chance of it spreading or coming back
- As treatment for breast cancer that has spread or come back
How you have chemotherapy
You have some chemotherapy drugs as tablets or capsules, but most of them are injected into a vein. Usually you have a combination of 3 or 4 chemotherapy drugs together. But in some circumstances, you may have one on its own.
You have chemotherapy as a course of treatment. Often, you have the drugs for between 1 and 5 days, then have a break for 3 to 4 weeks. This makes up one chemotherapy cycle. Then the cycle begins again. You may have up to 8 treatment cycles. So a complete course of treatment can take up to 8 months.
You are most likely to have your chemotherapy treatment in the outpatient department. But you may have to spend a few days in hospital.
Other medicines and remedies
Talk to your specialist about any other tablets or medicines you take while you are having treatment, including herbal or alternative remedies and dietary supplements. There is a chance they might interact with your chemotherapy drugs.
You can view and print the quick guides for all the pages in the Treating breast cancer section.
Chemotherapy means using anti cancer (cytotoxic) drugs to destroy cancer cells. The drugs work by disrupting the growth of cancer cells. The drugs circulate in the bloodstream around the body.
The drugs can't tell the difference between cancer cells and normal cells. Chemotherapy kills cells that are actively growing and dividing into new cells. Cancer cells do this much more often than normal cells, so they are more likely to be killed by the treatment. Cancer cells are not as good at repairing themselves as normal cells. Normal cells can usually repair any damage caused by chemotherapy.
For breast cancer, you may have chemotherapy
- Before surgery to shrink a tumour down (neoadjuvant therapy) and make surgery possible or less disfiguring
- After surgery to reduce the chance of the cancer spreading or coming back (adjuvant therapy)
- As treatment for breast cancer that has spread or come back
We have information about developments in chemotherapy and clinical trials in the breast cancer research section.
Quite a few different chemotherapy drugs are commonly used for breast cancer. So we can't say what your doctor will recommend. Usually you would have a combination of about 3 chemotherapy drugs together. But in some situations, your specialist may suggest one on its own. The main drugs are
- Fluorouracil (5FU)
- Docetaxel (Taxotere)
- Gemcitabine (Gemzar)
Some of the most common combinations used for breast cancer are
- CMF – cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and fluorouracil
- FEC – epirubicin, cyclophosphamide and fluorouracil
- FEC-T – epirubicin, cyclophosphamide, fluorouracil and taxotere
- E-CMF – epirubicin, followed by CMF
- AC – doxorubicin (adriamycin) and cyclophosphamide
- EC – epirubicin and cyclophosphamide
- MMM – methotrexate, mitozantrone and mitomycin
- MM – methotrexate and mitozantrone
In our main chemotherapy section, we have information about the specific side effects of individual chemotherapy drugs and chemotherapy combinations. The links above take you to the right page for each drug or combination. Or you can go through the alphabetical list yourself in the section about side effects of specific drugs.
Different combinations of drugs have different side effects. For example, with AC or FEC, you are more likely to lose your hair than with CMF.
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance recommends that chemotherapy after surgery for breast cancer should consist of 4 to 8 cycles of a combination of drugs. The combination should include an anthracycline (epirubicin or doxorubicin).
The type of chemotherapy you have depends on your particular risk of the cancer coming back and any medical conditions you have. For example, some chemotherapy drugs can cause heart problems. So if you already have a heart condition it is better to have a type of chemotherapy that doesn't cause this problem.
Chemotherapy before surgery can make a tumour smaller. This can mean you need less surgery. For example, you may be able to just have the cancer removed instead of having the whole breast removed (a mastectomy). After the surgery you may need to have radiotherapy or other treatments such as hormone therapy.
Your specialist may suggest chemotherapy before surgery because they think it may also help to stop your breast cancer coming back.
Chemotherapy after surgery is called adjuvant therapy. Your doctors may recommend it for one or more of the following reasons
- The lymph nodes under your arm contained breast cancer cells
- You had a large primary cancer in the breast
- Your breast cancer cells were high grade (grade 3)
- Your cancer cells did not test positive for hormone receptors and so are not likely to respond well to hormone therapy
Doctors use chemotherapy after surgery when there is a risk that cancer cells could have broken away from the breast tumour and spread to another part of the body. Chemotherapy can kill these cells and so reduces the risk of the cancer coming back. You usually have a combination of chemotherapy drugs.
If you are still having periods, chemotherapy may help in another way. It can stop your ovaries from making oestrogen. Oestrogen can stimulate some breast cancer cells to grow. Some specialists think this may be the main reason that chemotherapy is such a successful treatment for premenopausal women. Unfortunately, the loss of oestrogen means you may have an early menopause and become infertile, which can be difficult to cope with if you wanted to have a child. There is information about ways of preserving fertility in this section.
Not all women who have chemotherapy become infertile. Some women find that their ovaries begin working again after chemotherapy. This depends on your age when you have the treatment. It also depends on the type of chemotherapy drugs that you have. If you still don't have periods a year after your treatment, unfortunately it is not likely that your ovaries will recover.
You may be advised to have hormone therapy after surgery and chemotherapy. There is a section about hormone therapy for breast cancer.
Many women have no more problems after their original treatment for breast cancer. But sometimes breast cancer comes back or spreads. Breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body is called secondary breast cancer or metastatic breast cancer. Secondary breast cancer is often treated with chemotherapy.
Remember that the right treatment can often keep secondary breast cancer under control for several years.
You may take some chemotherapy drugs as tablets or capsules that you swallow. But you have most of them through a small tube or by drip. There is information in the chemotherapy section about giving chemotherapy into the bloodstream.
You have chemotherapy as a course of treatment. The length of time the course takes varies depending on the drugs you have. Often, you have the drugs for between 1 and 5 days, then have a break for 3 to 4 weeks. The drug treatment, followed by the break makes up one cycle. Then the cycle begins again.
You may have up to 8 treatment cycles. So a complete course of treatment can take up to 8 months. There is detailed information about treatment cycles and planning chemotherapy in our main chemotherapy section.
The number of courses you have depends on
- The type of breast cancer
- The particular drugs used
- In cancer that has spread it also depends on how well the cancer responds to the drugs
You are most likely to have your chemotherapy treatment in the outpatient department. But you may have to spend a few days in hospital. This depends on the drugs you have.
Each time you start a new cycle of treatment, your treatment team will check your blood cell counts first. They need to do this to make sure you have recovered from your last chemotherapy treatment. Having the blood test usually means getting to the clinic early and spending a while waiting for the results. If your blood cell levels are not high enough, your chemotherapy may be delayed for a few days.

We don't yet know much scientifically about how some nutritional or herbal supplements may interact with chemotherapy. Some could be harmful. It is very important to let your doctors know if you take any supplements. Also let them know if you are prescribed therapies by alternative or complementary therapy practitioners.
Talk to your specialist about any other tablets or medicines you take while you are having treatment. There is information about the safety of herbal, vitamin and diet supplements in the complementary therapies section.
Some studies seem to suggest that fish oil preparations may make some chemotherapy drugs work less well. If you are thinking of taking these supplements talk to your doctor to find out whether they could affect your treatment.
Scientists and doctors are working together all the time to develop and test new chemotherapy drugs and combinations. You can find out about current chemotherapy trials for breast cancer by searching our clinical trials database.

Here at Sanshee we’re excited about June for a few reasons. One, of course, is that the weather is slowly clearing up - there’s sun during the day, longer hours, and the ice cream shop is open down the way for mid-day ice cream. Second, and more importantly, is that June is Pride Month across the country. While not officially recognized everywhere, it’s a part of the lives of much of Sanshee’s staff and this year, we wanted to do something a little more than just celebrate on our own.
In 2017, we’ve shifted our focus to try and reach out to local communities and support them where we can. We’ve done sales and charity events to benefit AbleGamers, ACLU, Seattle Animal Shelter and more. This month, we wanted to focus on something else that’s important to us and what better time to do so than Pride?
Up for preorder today is a pin designed by Chad Gowey, with a portion of every sale going to Gay City: Seattle's LGBTQ center!
It is a pre-order item with a minimum goal of 200 units; if we are unable to reach this goal, the pins will not go into production and all pre-orders will be refunded, so we hope you'll take the opportunity to pre-order and tell your friends!
Another way we want to try and be more involved with the community is the Seattle Pride Parade. In the past, members of Sanshee staff have attended Pride on their own, but this year one of the things that we felt important was going a step further. We’re proud to announce that Sanshee is participating in Seattle’s Parade on Sunday, June 25th at 11AM. We’ll be marching in the parade for the entirety of the day and then out and about in downtown Seattle for all the fun that Pride has to offer.
If you’ve ever been to any of our events - Friendsgiving, Christmas, or movie/TV watch days, or simply would like to come march in the parade with us, we welcome you. There are only ten spots in the parade available and it will likely require some time commitment on your part, but if you’re interested in participating, please email [email protected] and we will try to work with you on it.
We also recognize that some members of the community may not be able to physically march with us due to distance, or disabilities. Unfortunately, parades aren’t always the easiest thing to participate in and while there is no easy answer, Sanshee would like to include as many people as possible in whatever capacity we can. If you’re unable to participate in the parade but would still like to support in some way, please email [email protected] for coordination.
We’d be happy to have folks who are local help decorate signs and tshirts and whatever else we might have. Additionally, we’d love to have a blog post after Pride listing all of the names of folks who might not have been able to participate in the marching but still supported us during it. If that is something you would be interested in, please email [email protected] for coordinating that as well!
If you’re local to Seattle, please consider taking a look at all the cool Pride events happening throughout the month. Here’s a link to Seattle’s Pride calendar. http://seattlepride.org/calendar/2017-06/ We encourage you to check out any events that might be happening in your areas, too!
From all of us at Sanshee, we wish you a happy Pride! |

In their introduction to a multi-country study on men and gender violence in Asia and the Pacific, the authors write: The elimination of harmful gender norms and practices can be achieved through the engagement of men and boys. (…) Ending violence against women requires coherent policies and programmes that emphasize gender equality as non-negotiable and the transformation of social norms.
The notion of ‘engaging men and boys’ has come to mean a lot of things, from men’s role in the anti-domestic violence movement to approaches that range from bystander engagement to tertiary prevention. Because sociocultural differences influence how patriarchy is enforced, how hetero-normative masculinity is defined, and how women’s self-determination is expressed or controlled, these very contexts also influence what engaging men means.
Engaging men starts with confronting perpetration: What are men in Asia & the Pacific reporting about their use of violence against women?
A study of 10,000 men and 3,000 women in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Sri Lanka confirm Asian and Pacific Islander women’s experiences of victimization. Findings show the following rates of:
Lifetime physical and sexual partner abuse
- 26% – 80% of ever-partnered men reported perpetrating physical and/or sexual partner violence
- 25% – 68% of ever-partnered women reported experiencing physical and/or sexual partner violence in their lifetime
- Lifetime physical partner violence perpetration was more common than lifetime sexual partner violence perpetration; except in Cambodia and Indonesia where the reverse was true
Rape against women and girls
- 10-62% of men reported that they had perpetrated rape against a woman or girl in their lifetime.
- Half of all men who perpetrated rape did so for the first time when they were teenagers (younger than 20 years).
- Rape of an intimate partner was more common than non-partner rape
- The most commonly reported motivation for rape was men’s sense of sexual entitlement.

“Wheear ‘ast tha bin sin’ ah saw thee?”– On Ilkla Mooar Bah’t ‘at
Ilkley is a former spa town located in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It lies 12 miles north of Bradford on the River Wharfe which flows at the foot of its surrounding hills. It’s most famous for its moor and song.

Ilkley Moor can be found south of the town. It forms part of Rombalds moor which is a stretch of high ground that runs to Keighley in the West.
This natural landscape has many features to explore. The largest and most popular being the Cow and Calf rocks. It’s made up of two large outcrops which tilt on the edge of the moor.
Many people from all over the world come to admire the formations and spectacular views. Visitors have been exploring this area since the Victorian Era.
Over time, it has become a custom for visitors to carve their initials and the year of their visit into the Cow and Calf rocks. There are some carvings which date back to the early 1800’s although this has been happening on Ilkley Moor since ancient times.
The “swastika” stone on Woodhouse crag features a pattern that has been carved into the rock in the shape of a curved cross. It’s thought that the origins of this unique piece of rock art dates back to around 2000 BC.
Long before its corruption by the Nazis, the swastika was a symbol of religious significance related to the sun. The fainter original symbol was copied onto another nearby rock in the 19th Century.
Ilkley Moor is not only famous for its attractions and vistas, it’s also known for its song “On Ilkla Moor Baht ‘at”.
Despite Ilkley Moor having incredible attractions and vistas, this isn’t the only thing that it’s known for. It’s also famous for the song “Ilkley Moor baht’at”.
Originally, the tune was written in 1805 by Thomas Clark. Clark was a cobbler from Canterbury and created a hymn called Cranbrook. The tune was also used to accompany the words of the Christmas Carol “While Shepherds Watched”.
Despite this, the traditional theory of the tune’s development into the much loved song that we know today started when a choir from Halifax visited the moor.
According to the theory, the choir members started singing the lines “Wheer wor ta bahn when I saw thee” when two of their party disappeared into the bracken for a kiss. Another member then piped up “Thas been a courtin’ Mary Jane”. The rest of the choir burst into song using that dialogue to wind up the young couple to the tune of Cranbrook.
In 1916, the first two original verses were written down. However, over time a further seven have been added to tell the story of a lover who takes his beloved Mary Jane on Ilkley Moor without wearing a hat.
He then catches a cold, dies, and is buried on the moor where worms come and eat his decomposing body. Ducks then eat the worms and humans eat the ducks, meaning that by doing this the people have eaten the poor man up. It’s unknown what became of Mary Jane.
Nowadays, the opening line of the song has changed from the original sung by Halifax Choir. It used to be “Wheer wor ta bahn when I saw thee” and has been changed to ”Wheear ‘ast tha bin sin’ ah saw thee?” meaning ‘where have you been since I last saw you).
Several other lines have also been added to the end of each version. These have been written in Standard English and include “where the ducks play football” and “where the sheep fly backwards”.
The original Cranbrook hymn is now largely forgotten. However, the tune is still used to sing “While Shepherds Watched” in Leeds Cathedral.
Since becoming a very popular tourist destination, Ilkley Moor has since adapted to accommodate the many visitors that travel there to admire the views.
At the attraction there is a large car park, cafe, and toilets. Visitors can also abseil down the many rock-faces.
Another attraction in Ilkley is Rombalds Moor. It’s an adventure playground for rock climbers making it popular with extreme sports enthusiasts.
In the town below is the Millennium Darwin Gardens. These commemorative community gardens have a maze, picnic area, and fine views of the moor.
The gardens were named after a famous biologist who spent time visiting and exploring the town after writing “The Origin of Species” in 1859.
Before his arrival, Darwin became exhausted and was suffering from a mystery illness. This prompted him to visit Ilkley for its healing wells and to use it as a retreat from the storm which was brewing in London over the theories outlined in the book.
Just outside of the town centre is Ilkley Park and Riverside Gardens. It’s a pleasant green space which can be found on the banks of the River Wharfe.
There are extensive walks, a play area, and fishing areas. Visitors can also enjoy a bit of dinner at the cafe.
Ilkley Park and Riverside Gardens is just opposite the beginning of the official Dales Way. This is an 84 mile walk through the Yorkshire Dales which ends at Lake Windermere in Cumbria.
The Manor House is a 14th Century building which was converted into a museum in 1961. It stands on the site of the ancient Roman fort of Olicana.
This Ilkley museum features displays associated with the town and its people. It charts the history of Ilkley from ancient times through to its development into a spa town and tourist destination.
The Manor House also contains an art gallery. Throughout the year, it hosts a number of temporary exhibitions for visitors to enjoy.
Another museum is the Ilkley Toy Museum. It is one of the largest collections in the north of England and displays a range of artefacts dating back to 350 BC up to the present day.
This museum is most notable for its large collection of early English wooden dolls and a 1940’s working wooden fairground. It also features toys that have delighted generations of children such as cars, teddy bears, and games.
Ilkley has a great tradition in amateur theatre. The Ilkley Upstagers are one of the best known groups of its kind in the country. It has a strong reputation for producing young talent which go on to star on the professional circuit and television.
The Ilkley Players run their own theatre called The Playhouse. This provides a brilliant platform to show its productions.
The Playhouse also contains a youth theatre which is known as The Greenroom. Children can attend classes and rehearse for their annual play.
In 1907 the King’s Hall and Winter Gardens were built. It’s a multi-functional venue hall which hosts theatre productions, wedding parties, exhibitions, and conferences.
Ilkley is known for its literature festival which is the largest and oldest of its kind in the north of England. The Ilkley literature festival started in 1973 by a group of local enthusiasts who wanted to hold a book festival in the town.
There are over 250 events throughout Ilkley over a two week period in September. Each year, the festival has been attended by some of the biggest names in writing and journalism. These include Jeremy Paxman, Louis Theroux, and the late Maya Angelou.
Uniquely, the town also hosts a bi-annual complementary medicine festival. It is located at the Kings Hall and is the largest in the UK.
The two events are held in March and October. Each event features demonstrations in treatments such as osteopathy, massaging, and chiropody. There are also stalls that offer remedies and therapies for all kinds of ailments.
Ilkley is a relatively remote town. Due to its rough terrains it doesn’t have a motorway nearby. Instead, Ilkley is linked by “A” roads to other surrounding towns and cities such as Bradford and Leeds to the South, Skipton to the West, and Harrogate to the East.
In 1865, the railway station was built. It provided Ilkley residents with services to Leeds, Bradford, and Otley.
A new railway building was constructed to replace the original. It was refurbished and upgraded in 2011 to include modern features such as digital screens.
The bus station can be found opposite the train station. It has three stands and runs services to York, Skipton, Leeds, and Otley.
The town is also associated with cycling. During the summer months, it’s very common to see large groups of bike-riders on the town’s roads.
In July 2014, Ilkley was used on stage one of the Tour de France where the race came down the A65 from Otley and passed through the town centre. The moor has also been used as part of the Tour of Britain.
Other popular sports in Ilkley include squash, tennis, rugby, and golf. Golf being especially significant in that Colin Montgomerie practises his skills at the town’s club.
Shopping in Ilkley revolves around local independent traders. Rather than relying on high street names to fill its streets like most places, it has a strong focus on supporting local businesses.
Ilkley has a small shopping mall designed in the shape of the Moors centre. It has a range of fashion, furniture, and tea shops along with the odd chain store.
Ilkley’s idea to focus more on locally run shops compared to retail chains just adds to the town’s charm. People choose to shop in Ilkley for this reason, to support independent traders.
The Grove is also a popular place for both residents and visitors. It’s home to a range of local shops and restaurants. Originally, the Grove was built with wide pavements for promenading.
Ilkley is a wonderful Yorkshire town. It’s community focused and has plenty to offer people of all ages.
During the Carboniferous period, around 325 million years ago, the moor surrounding Ilkley would have been a large swamp
Before man, there was the Carboniferous period that dates back to 325 million years ago. During this time, the moor surrounding Ilkley would have been a large swamp being fed by several rivers.
These rivers deposited large amounts of sediment into this area which then cemented to form large rock faces. The Ice Age glaciers deepened the valley in which the river Wharfe flows. This created the landscape that we see in Ilkley today.
The moor harbours evidence of ancient life in Ilkley. This includes the swastika cross along with arrowheads which date back to the Mesolithic period around 11,000 BC.
You can also find the twelve apostles’ stone circle which was constructed 2,000 years ago. This shows that there is evidence of life and settlement in the area since 11,000 BC.
Remains of what is believed to be the Olicana Fort has been discovered. This was a Roman settlement discovered on the banks of the River Wharfe.
Three Anglo Saxon crosses can be found in Ilkley Parish church. They have been thought to date back to the 8th Century.
Ilkley remained a small village during the Norman period. It was noted in the Domesday book as belonging to William de Percy.
However, despite all of this, it wasn’t until the 17th and 18th Centuries that Ilkley began to become a place of significance. This was all thanks to the discovery of spas at the nearby village of Wheatley which is now known as Ben Rhydding.
During the Victorian era, Ilkley became a fashionable spa town. People visited Ilkley’s neighbour Harrogate to take in its waters as they were believed to have healing qualities.
Afterwards they would then visit Ilkley as it was known for its peace and tranquillity thanks to the adjoining moor. The town also resisted industrialisation which is what the visitors were after.
In 1859, Charles Darwin decided to escape to Ilkley. He’d just published his book “Origin of Species” and wanted to avoid the controversy of his theories.
Whilst relaxing and spending time in Ilkley, he paid a visit to the White Wells at Ben Rhydding. He received hydrotherapy and treatment for a mysterious illness.
Nowadays, Ilkley is a popular tourist destination. Much like the Victorians, it is seen as a place for escapism from the pressures of modern life. It has a strong cultural core along with its popular traditions of amateur theatre and literature, often inspired by the town’s surrounding scenery.
Ilkley is located in West Yorkshire which was historically the West Riding of Yorkshire.
Ilkley is a Spa town.
The area around the town had been inhabited since the Mesolithic period – 11,000 BC.
Evidence suggests that Ilkley was settled and inhabited during the Bronze Age, 1,800 BC. Cup and Ring marks have been found along with the remains of dwellings on Ilkley Moor.
Woodhouse crag on the moor has a strange carving. It’s a curved swastika and is known as the swastika stone, sometimes called Fylfot. It dates back to the Bronze Age.
A stone circle called The Twelve Apostles Stone Circle can be found on the moor. It’s thousands of years old and is of Druidic origin.
There are remains of a Roman Fort that is thought to be Olicana. The fort’s outline is quite clear and is 160yards by 100yards in size and can be seen in the centre of the town.
All Saints Church has been the centre for Christian Worship since the 7th Century. The present church is mostly Victorian.
Ilkley is included in the Domesday Book and is recorded as Ileculine and a few other variations of the name.
It is thought that the name Ilkley is a derivation of the old British name for rock, ‘Llecan.’
During the 17th and 18th centuries Ilkley became famous as a Spa Town. The Rhydding Hydro was built at nearby Wheatley.
Ilkley is famous for Ilkley Moor and the Yorkshire anthem “On Ilkla Moor Baht ‘at”.
A retired Policeman, in 1987, saw and photographed an “Alien Being” on Ilkley Moor.
Ilkley is home to a famous Toy Museum. It has a collection of toys that dates from 350c to the modern era.
The Ilkley Literature Festival is England’s oldest and biggest literary festival.
Ilkley Golf Club is one of the oldest in Yorkshire. Colin Montgomery practised there for many years.
Ilkley is twinned with Coutances in France. |

Steps to Take if You are Racially Discriminated Against at Work
Racial discrimination of any kind is illegal in the workplace. However, unfortunately, that does not stop people from making slurs or doing other things that make the discrimination less than obvious. There are many forms of workplace racial discrimination, many of which are often subtle. Whatever form it takes on this type of behavior is prohibited both on the state and federal levels.
How to Identify Racial Discrimination
Unfortunately, when racial discrimination occurs in the workplace, it often goes unnoticed or undetected. For example, if an employer chooses not to give someone a promotion they truly deserve due to the color of their skin but never admits it, there is really no way to prove there is racial discrimination in place. at the same time, there may be some instances that are obviously forms of discrimination.
One example of an obvious instance of racial discrimination in the workplace would be an employer outrightly asking a potential employee about their race. If the applicant replied to the question and subsequently was not hired in spite of being fully qualified for the position, it would be evident that they were disregarded because of their race. However, these types of racial discrimination are exceedingly rare. Additionally, employers are allowed to inquire about race in job application forms and affirmative action programs as long as they have no bearing on the decisions they make regarding who to hire.
Usually, racial discrimination is very subtle to the point where a person would never be sure why they weren’t hired or received a promotion. While they can ask the employer, the employer does not have to honestly answer and can instead state some other reason that has nothing to do with race. At the same time, if a person who is less qualified ultimately gets hired for the job or receives a promotion the other person didn’t get, it can be used as evidence of racial discrimination.
Surprisingly, in some cases, an employer may be guilty of racial discrimination, yet not even realize it. Some may have certain practices related to hiring, testing or policies in the workplace that may single out a certain group of people or have some type of negative impact on a specific race. If it is not done for legitimate purposes or is invalid, those practices can be considered racial discrimination if a person speaks out against it.
Federal Anti-Discrimination Laws
Generally speaking, there are federal laws in place that are the primary laws that address racial discrimination in the workplace. These fall under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which state that employers are prohibited from doing the following:
• Refusing to hire someone or failing to hire someone who is fully qualified for the position to which they are applying based on their race
• Disciplining or firing an employee based on their race
• Paying an employee a lesser salary or giving them fewer benefits based on their race
• Failing to provide benefits, job opportunities or promotions to employees based on their race
• Unfairly and improperly classifying employees or applicants or segregating them based on their race
In addition to these practices, employment agencies are also prohibited from coming to decisions on referrals or assignments for work based on a job seeker’s race. Likewise, unions cannot refuse membership or oust members due to their race.
State Anti-Discrimination Laws
States are also tough when it comes to discrimination in the workplace. Generally, anti-discrimination laws in states regarding workplace discrimination mirror those on the federal level and make it illegal to discriminate against people based on their race. However, there are some differences in the procedures used and agencies that need to be contacted in order to make a claim against discrimination. However, no matter what the situation, it is always important for a person to retain an employment attorney if they have reason to believe they have a valid claim for workplace discrimination based on their race.
Steps to Take After Workplace Racial Discrimination
Any person who believes they have been the victim of racial discrimination at work should take certain steps if they want to fight back. Keeping a journal of their experiences is a good way to start as it serves as important evidence to back up the claim of discrimination. It’s important for dates, times, names of the people involved and other pertinent information to be included. All of these factors can be used in an investigation. Additionally, the person might want to consider speaking with the supervisor of the individual they believed perpetrated the discrimination. In other words, if the victim’s direct supervisor discriminated against them, they should speak with the person who is directly above them status-wise. In many instances, a situation can be resolved by doing this.
However, if this is not enough to satisfy a resolution, the person should consider consulting with an experienced racial discrimination lawyer and filing a discrimination claim against the company. An investigation can then begin into the claims and a resolution can ultimately be reached.
Filing a Racial Discrimination Claim
It’s important for anyone planning on filing a racial discrimination claim to remember that just like with any other type of legal claim, time is of the essence. There are deadlines — also known as the statute of limitations — for not only filing a claim but even reporting the discrimination. To that end, it is very important that a person report racial discrimination in the workplace immediately after the incident occurs.

Baby crappies are referred to as smaller crappies which have not grown to table size when they can be caught and sold or eaten. The population of crappies can multiply very fast, with the white crappies having a faster reproduction rate than the black crappies. During the spawning season, thousands of eggs are released and fertilized.
In some cases, over 50,000 crappie eggs can be spawned per adult female. The crappie eggs are laid at a depth of about five feet, and after hatching the baby, crappies begin their ‘journey’ to adulthood.
Where are baby crappies found?
After hatching, baby crappies maintain their initial habitat, thriving within schools of different sizes. At this time the baby crappies are in danger of becoming food for larger fish. They can be found lurking in places where they are protected from larger fish such as below rocks, deep in cracks within rocks close to the shoreline, under weeds, or fallen trees in the water.
Baby crappies have also been specially separated after hatching and reared in private ponds where they grow to maturity, in some cases, they are reared in small aquariums or fish tanks in small numbers.
Baby crappies feed on similar foods eaten by fingerlings generally such as zooplankton, and larvae or insects found in the water. These foods are also sought by the bigger fish which causes a scale where only the toughest baby crappies may survive while growing in the open waters.
Crappies can grow up to three inches in one year. However, this size is still quite small for the table size which is about 7 to 10 inches. To attain the table size, baby crappies will have to remain hidden avoiding the bigger fish which can eat them as food.
Generally, fish farms stock the black crappies for breeding rather than the white crappies because the black crappies do not multiply as fast as the white crappies. Overpopulation can be a problem when there is limited space (natural ponds) on the farm, and overpopulation can also affect the size of the adult crappies.
How to protect baby crappies
In some farms, the adult crappies are removed after spawning, and the baby crappies are left in the natural ponds to hatch and grow to maturity. Baby crappies can also be protected in ponds where the farmer has set up brush piles, water plants, hollow rocks and other obstacles that provide hiding places for the baby crappies.
In some states, crappie fishing is regulated in a way that the baby crappies have enough time to grow into adults. Other regulations make it mandatory that anglers should catch only crappies of a particular size. In these places, an angler is expected to release smaller crappies back into the water if they do not measure up to the recommended table size.
It is also important to prevent lakes and rivers where crappies spawn from pollution. When harmful chemicals or fertilizers are washed into the rivers, these substances can kill or hinder the normal development of the baby crappies.
In conclusion, a majority of the baby crappies grow into adults, issues such as overpopulation are checked naturally in the rivers and lakes. Farmers who also wish to rear their baby crappies can purchase fingerlings to be bred in their private natural ponds. |
