the Hayward Fault: Online and On the Ground Ever wonder exactly where the Hayward Fault is? Three U.S. Geological Survey scientists will be on hand to announce three new educational publications, showing you just where to look. With the 140th anniversary of the 1868 Hayward earthquake fast approaching, the USGS is dedicated to providing information that will prepare the public for a magnitude 6.7 or larger earthquake likely to happen in the greater Bay Area in the next 30 years. The commemoration date reflects an important milestone: the past 5 large earthquakes on the Hayward Fault have been on average about 140 years apart, so a repeat of this powerful earthquake could happen at any moment. Who: USGS Earthquake author of fact sheet The Hayward Fault—Is it due for a repeat of the powerful 1868 earthquake? creator of the Hayward Fault “virtual tour” using Google Earth™ software author of Where’s the Hayward Fault?

The game of indoor cricket Indoor cricket is played on a rectangular, artificial-grass surfaced court. The court is enclosed in tightly tensioned netting, including a 4 metre high roof. The length of the pitch and size of the stumps are exactly the same dimensions as outdoor cricket. Like traditional cricket, indoor cricket involves two batsmen, a bowler and a team of fielders. The bowler bowls the ball to the batsmen who must score runs. The team with the highest score at the end of the match wins. Despite these basic similarities, indoor cricket differs significantly from its traditional counterpart in several ways, most notably on the field of play and the means by which runs are obtained. Summary of Indoor Cricket Rules - Each team consists of a maximum of 8 players (minimum of 6) - Each team bats for 1 innings and bowls for 1 innings of 16 overs (total 32 over game) - An over consists of 8 balls or deliveries (variations may occur) - A bowler cannot bowl consecutive overs - Each batting pair bat for 4 overs - Dismissals are a 5 run deduction from the score

Pinkhas Berliner, a student from England, was learning at the Mir Yeshiva in the late 1930s, as war broke out in Europe. He, along with most of the teachers and students from Mir and other yeshivas in eastern Poland (now Belarus) escaped to Lithuania. From there, some British Yeshiva students, teachers and family members traveled via Siberia and Hong Kong, to Australia. See the article From Kelme to Melbourne for one story. Shown here is the British passport that saved a life. Below the passport are two letters of recommendation that Pinkhas Berliner carried with him on his travels. One is from Rabbi Eliezer Yehuda Finkel, who was head of the Mir Yeshiva which, in 1940, was located in Kaidan, Lithuania. The other letter is written by Avraham Yitskhak Bloch, chief Rabbi of the Yeshiva in Telšiai, Lithuania. Chaim Freedman, sent these documents belonging to his father-in-law, Pinkhas Berliner. You can read details of Rabbi Berliner's experiences on Chaim Freedman's blog.

Blue Footed Booby It’s no mystery as to how the blue footed booby got its name! Male blue-footed boobies use their uniquely-colored feet to attract a mate, and will dance and strut in front of females in order to show them off. The brighter the shade of blue, the better! Blue Footed Booby Scientific & Common Names Kingdom - Animalia Phylum - Chordata Class - Aves Order - Suliformes Family - Sulidae Genus – Sulis Species – S. nebouxii Common Names – Blue Footed Booby The blue footed booby’s feet actually depict how well-nourished it is, because the shade of blue is directly related to its consumption of fresh and healthy fish. This bird is one of the few birds with blue skin, which can be seen on its face as well as its feet. Blue footed boobies gather in large nesting clusters of hundreds of birds. Foot coloration is a very important factor in selecting a mate, and male mating rituals often rely heavily on presenting the feet to the female, usually with a dance or strutting behavior. The booby is a marine bird that feeds on small fish and squid. They often hunt in groups and will dive into the ocean when prey is spotted, usually eating it while still underwater. There are two subspecies of blue footed booby, one which lives on the Galapagos Islands, and another which lives on the Pacific coast. The species is also closely related to the Pervuian booby, which it can interbreed with. It lacks the distinctive blue skin of its cousin. Although blue footed boobies are currently classified as “least concern” on the conservation status spectrum, a recent study suggested that their numbers in the Galapagos Islands are declining due to breeding troubles. Researchers believe that the booby’s breeding success is being affected by a decline in the sardine population, which is of one of their main food sources. There is no evidence of other possible causes.

During the 1700's, France was the cultural capital of Europe. During this time frame, King Louis XIV was the most powerful king in all of Europe. When he died, Louis XV took his place as king. Ruling France as absolute Monarchs. As time passed, political and economic issues took place, resulting in the French Revolt. This was unfair because of the unequal social hierarchy that made up of three classes. (1: clergy, owned 10% of land. 2: Nobility, owned 20% of land. 3: Commoners, which this class alone paid 50% of the taxes.) Along after the American Revolution, the third estate began to demand democracy, equality, and liberty in France. The social tensions didn't exactly help, instead it made things worse by growing a financial crisis in the 1770's & 1780's. Because of lavish spending, expensive wars, and poor economic planning, the French government faces a massive debts. This economic crisis continued, citizens faced starvation without food. Louis XVI then failed to work with the National Assembly so problems continued. In fear of Frances revolutionary ideas caused Austria and Prussia assembled to restore Frances absolute monarch. All though it seemed as if the French Revolution was a failure, in the year 1799 it appeared legal by the year 1815. France, bourgeois and land owning classes had then emerged as the dominant power Desperate times call for desperate measures. After the first few years of the French Revolution, France most definitely came across their desperate time. In 1792 the government was once again overthrown. The King was still held behind bars, also the decisions for the wars in Austria and Prussia were not made wisely. Now the purpose of Terror was designed to fight the enemies of the revolution, to prevent counter-revolution from gaining ground. The head chopping Galuitine It was so dangerous to even speak critically of the revolutionary Government. A man and his family could be sent to the Guillotine for speaking wrongful. This time was a period of violence that occurred after the onset of the French Revolution, incited by conflict between two rival political factions, the Girondins and Jacobins. Which both were fighting for power. the Girondins were less radical and became arising power in 1791. During this time the group hoped to pass legislation allowing all blacks equal freedoms (The United States was a was some what behind or in on this act). The group also wanted to go to war with Austria in 1792 to prove power over the king. The French Revolution impacted other countries in various ways. In Europe, the revolution led to a series of wars between various countries and the French. This also caused the rise of Napoleon and the empire he won. When the US got involved, it cause a tremendous amount of trouble. First, it helped split the country between pro-British and pro-French factions. It then led to many problems in foreign policy. The people of France and people of Britain then battled at war. and the US was caught in between with both countries preying on US shipping to the other country. This eventually led to near-war with the French and finally to the War of 1812 with the British. During this period, military and political leader Napoleon Bonaparte had risen in prominence. Specifically by taking control of France after the success of the French Revolution. He was also partly instrumental in promoting the ideals of the Enlightenment in other locations around Europe. The tragic turn of events undeniably resulted from Napoleon overestimating his capacity, including the capacity of France. Although, instead of just becoming a reformer, he was reduced to a warlord who was willing to sacrifice thousands of men and other military resources in order to wage war against other nations.Despite the Napoleons failure , he is and will always will be a remarkable figure to the French Revolution

Perfume was first used by the Egyptians as part of their religious rituals. The two principal methods of use at this time was the burning of incense and the application of balms and ointments. Perfumed oils were applied to the skin for eithercosmetic or medicinal purposes. During the Old and Middle Kingdoms, perfumes were reserved exclusively for religious rituals such as cleansing ceremonies. Then during the New Kingdom (1580-1085 BC) they were used during festivals and Egyptian women also used perfumed creams and oils as toiletries ar cosmetics and as preludes to love-making.The use of perfume then spread to Greece, Rome, and the Islamic world. And it was the Islamic community that kept the use of perfumes since the spread of Christianity led to a decline in the use of perfume. With the fall of the Roman Empire, perfume’s influence dwindled. It was not until the twelfth century and the development of international trade that this decline was reversed. Perfume enjoyed huge success during the seventeenth century. Perfumed gloves became popular in France and in 1656, the guild of glove and perfume-makers was established. The use of perfume in France grew steadily. The court of Louis XV was even named “the perfumed court” due to the scents which were applied daily not only to the skin but also to clothing, fans and furniture. The eighteenth century saw a revolutionary advance in perfumery with the invention of eau de Cologne. This refreshing blend of rosemary, neroli, bergamot and lemon was used in a multitude of different ways: diluted in bath water, mixed with wine, eaten on a sugar lump, as a mouthwash, an enema or an ingredient for a poultice, injected directly… and so on. The variety of eighteenth-century perfume containers was as wide as that of the fragrances and their uses. Sponges soaked in scented vinaigres de toilette were kept in gilded metal vinaigrettes. Liquid perfumes came in beautiful Louis XIV-style pear-shaped bottles. Glass became increasingly popular, particularly in France with the opening of the Baccarat factory in 1765. As with industry and the arts, perfume was to undergo profound change in the nineteenth century. Changing tastes and the development of modern chemistry laid the foundations of perfumery as we know it today. Alchemy gave way to chemistry and new fragrances were created. The French Revolution had in no way diminished the taste for perfume, there was even a fragrance called “Parfum a la Guillotine.” Under the post-revolutionary government, people once again dared to express a penchant for luxury goods, including perfume. A profusion of vanity boxes containing perfumes appeared in the 19th century. This picture shows a woman at her dressing table. Due to its jasmine, rose and orange-growing trades, the town of Grasse in Provence established itself as the largest production center for raw materials. The statutes of the perfume-makers of Grasse were passed in 1724. Paris became the commercial counterpart to Grasse and the world center of perfume. Perfume houses such as Houbigant , Lubin, Roger & Gallet, and Guerlain were all based in Paris. Soon bottling became more important. Perfume maker Francois Coty formed a partnership with Rene Lalique. Lalique then produced bottles for Guerlain, D’Orsay, Lubin, Molinard, Roger & Gallet and others. Baccarat then joined in, producing the bottle for Mitsouko (Guerlain), Shalimar (Guerlain) and others. Brosse glassworks created the memorable bottle for Jeanne Lanvin’s Arpege, and the famous Chanel No.5. 1921- Couturier Gabrielle Chanel launches her own brand of perfume, created by Ernest Beaux, she calls it Chanel No.5 because it was the fifth in a line of fragrances Ernest Beaux presented her. Ernest Beaux was the first perfumer to use aldehydes (see perfumery ingredients) regularly in perfumery. The 1930’s saw the arrival of the leather family of fragrances, and florals also became quite popular with the emergence of Worth’s Je Reviens (1932), Caron’s Fleurs de Rocaille (1933) and Jean Patou’s Joy (1935). With French perfumery at it’s peak in the 1950’s, other designers such as Christian Dior, Jacques Fath, Nina Ricci, Pierre Balmain.. and so on, started creating their own scents.

The National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) is the central mapping agency of the Philippines. It is an attached agency to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) as per Executive Order No. 192 (June 10, 1987) integrating the functions and powers of four government agencies - Natural Resources and Management Center (NRMC), the National Cartography Authority (NCA), the Bureau of Coast and Geodetic Survey (BCGS), and the Land Classification Teams of the then Bureau of Forest Development (transformed into a Forest Management Bureau performing staff functions) to provide the Department and the government map-making services. BCGS was under the Department of National Defense before the reorganization in 1987. It was composed of personnel in the uniformed service -Commissioned Officers and Enlisted Personnel; which is retained until these days. It is now the Hydrography Branch of NAMRIA, mandated to conduct hydrographic and coastal surveys as well as gather physical oceanographic data to produce nautical charts and other maritime publications primarily for the safety of navigation at sea and to provide the research community valuable data. It is also giving services to delineate maritime boundaries.

"In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes." 1 Death is the natural, inevitable end of life. As with most of life's inevitable natural functions, death can be messy and complicated. Historically, when someone died, their family took responsibility for their burial. This could range anywhere from an elaborate funeral ceremony, and a burial officiated by a member of the clergy, to simply burying the deceased directly in the ground.2 As laws have changed over time, the funeral process has correspondingly become more complex. There are now regulations regarding what type of coffin or vault someone may be buried in, where they may be buried, where ashes of a cremated person may be scattered, etc. The purpose of a funeral home3 is to take care of these details for the bereaved. The key to remember here is "licensing". All licensing and regulation is handled by the state in which the funeral home resides. A funeral home (also sometimes called a funeral parlor) must be licensed as such, and must be managed by a licensed funeral director. There are strict requirements for the care and sanitation of the vehicles which are used to transport the deceased, as well as the embalming and cremation facilities, and all areas of the funeral home itself. There are also regulations stating proper attire for personnel involved in embalming and preparing the deceased for burial, and regulations to promote respectful treatment of the body. A facility must be specifically licensed as a crematory, or for embalming. Although the specifics vary depending on the state, there are strict regulations as to how a body is to be cremated or embalmed, and how the body and ashes are to be handled and transported. The process (loosely) works like this: - Someone dies. - Their next of kin calls a funeral home. - The funeral home sends someone in a special vehicle to pick up the body and bring it back to the funeral home facilities. - Depending on what the wishes of the deceased and the next of kin are, the body is cremated, embalmed, or left alone. (If the funeral home does not have a licensed embalmer or a licensed crematory on site, they will make the necessary arrangments with a local provider.) - After the body is embalmed or cremated, the funeral home arranges for a casket or urn, and a time for viewing, according to the wishes of the deceased and next of kin. - The funeral home may also act as intermediary in arranging the burial plot, and church/temple/etc. funeral services if the next of kin has not already taken care of these items. Ideally, once the bereaved has contacted the funeral home and made known their wishes and the wishes of the deceased, their involvement in the details of the burial process should be minimal. 1 - Benjamin Franklin, in a letter to M. Leroy 1789 2 - I know this doesn't even touch on the vast array of funerary customs, even just those in the United States, but that is not within the scope of this writeup. 3 - This material is in reference to funeral homes in the United States only.

THE POSEIDON SYSTEM FINDS WATER! Do you need to find water for the irrigation of your lands? Do you want to dig a well but you don’t know if there is going to be water? The research of water resources is our strength. Our system verify the presence of aquifers. The results of our researches help professionals in charge by giving them the exact information about the well’s location. Our motto? “IF THERE IS WATER UNDERGROUND, WE FIND IT!” Water is a resource that’s becoming increasingly valuable. The availability of water decrease each year, the locations with water crisis are growing in number, the prices are increasing. 15% of Italian population (almost 8 million people) is below the thresold of water requirements (50 daily liters per person) for 4 months (June – September). If we take into account that 97% of Italian fresh waters is found in aquifers, finding new wells and aquifers is an essential factor, and it requires the advice of a geologist and various investigative activities on the land. In the last decades, technology made possible the drilling at profound depths for the research of wells and aquifers, which is becoming vital for our needs. Studies and developments of the POSEIDON System were the results of combining values of RESEARCH and TECHNOLOGY with the EASE of obtaining FIRM RESULTS in the shortest amount of time possible. In this scheme the Magenta color represents the firmer layers of soil, the colors tending to blue represent the proximity of water.The graph represent the horizontal and vertical metric scale: at 70mt from our reference point, with a depth of 65/70 mt we can find the aquifer. EASY, FAST but most importantly, A RELIABLE RESEARCH.

Clark students study ice storm’s effects on local forest Take one geography professor, add a Ph.D. student of geography and finish the recipe with several eager undergraduates looking forward to doing research in Paxton and what do you have? A group of smart young people from Clark University seeking answers to the question, “what damage was done to local vegetation during the ice storm of 2008?” A geography class called Losing Ground has spent the past several months mapping trees at several local parks, including two in Paxton. “We’ve been doing work mapping disturbances for quite a while in the Yucatan Peninsula studying the effects from Hurricane Dean,” said the doctoral student, Zachary Christman. “Now, with the ice storm happening so close to home, we thought we’d apply the same principles and look at the effects on our environment from the ice storm.” Christman is working closely with geography professor John Rogan. They take daily digital pictures of the area via satellite to determine if the vegetation is increasing or decreasing over time. “We took pictures over the summer of 2008, and again in 2009, and compared them to a normal one-year change, and discovered there are losses everywhere,” said Christman. “There is a 30 percent reduction in vegetation over much of this region since the ice storm happened, with some areas showing as much as a 60 percent loss. Granted, it’s not all from the storm, but mostly it is.” Among other sites, the class has looked at Boynton Park on the Paxton-Worcester line and Moore State Park on West Street (Route 31). “At Moore State Park, we discovered that anything on the exposed part of the hill near the pond was more affected,” said Rogan. “The other side of the park, where the types of trees are more mixed, was noticeably less damaged.” His explanation is that trees in mixed groups withstand storms better than stands of one type. “Here, the maples, ashes and oaks got hit hard, but the white pines and hemlocks sustained less damage,” Rogan said. “Because of the way the forests are managed — more single species groupings — it predisposes them to being susceptible to disturbances like these.” In other parts of the park, Rogan said, “the hemlock structure allowed the weight to be dispersed. Mixing forests is important for resilience to storms, but here we tend to have a preference for a particular species.” Rogan said the single-species areas of Moore State Park, already weakened by the ice storm, are also more exposed to other threats, such as droughts or insect infestation. But he said the ice storm’s destruction may also bring benefits to the forest. “Younger trees will grow stronger than they would have, and fill in the gap in the canopy that was created with the storm,” Rogan said. “Also, opening the canopy will add light and water resources for other species, which is good. The habitat forage for deer will be good for recreational hunting, but lousy for the increased population in deer ticks, and potentially Lyme disease, based on the increase in deer,” Rogan continued. According to Rogan, it will take 20 to 100 years for the areas affected by the ice storm to return to normal, “but visibly, you will not notice [the damage] in as little as five years,” he said. At Moore State Park the area that was less damaged was able to sustain more weight due to the disbursements of the hemlock trees.

Help Now > FREE Catholic Classes Titular see of Bithynia Prima, founded by King Zipoetes. About 264 B.C. his son Nicodemes I dedicated the city anew, gave it his name, made it his capital, and adorned it with magnificent monuments. At his court the vanquished Hannibal sought refuge. When Bithynia became a Roman province Nicomedia remained its capital. Pliny the Younger mentions, in his letters to Trajan, several public edifices of the city — a senate house, an aqueduct which he had built, a forum, the temple of Cybele, etc. He also proposed to join the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmora by a canal which should follow the river Sangarius and empty the waters of the Lake of Sabandja into the Gulf of Astacus. A fire then almost destroyed the town. From Nicomedia perhaps, he wrote to Trajan his famous letter concerning the Christians. Under Marcus Aurelius, Dionysius, Bishop of Corinth, addressed a letter to his community warning them against the Marcionites ( Eusebius, "Hist. Eccl.", IV, xxiii). Bishop Evander, who opposed the sect of the Ophites (P.L., LIII, 592), seems to have lived at the same time. Nicomedia was the favorite residence of Diocletian, who built there a palace, a hippodrome, a mint, and an arsenal. In 303 the edict of the tenth persecution caused rivers of blood to flow through the empire, especially in Nicomedia, where the Bishop Anthimus and a great many Christians were martyred. The city was then half Christian, the palace itself being filled with them. In 303, in the vast plain east of Nicomedia, Diocletian renounced the empire in favour of Galerius. In 311 Lucian, a priest of Antioch, delivered a discourse in the presence of the judge before he was executed. Other martyrs of the city are numbered by hundreds. Nicomedia suffered greatly during the fourth century from an invasion of the Goths and from an earthquake (24 Aug., 354), which overthrew all the public and private monuments; fire completed the catastrophe. The city was rebuilt, on a smaller scale. In the reign of Justinian new public buildings were erected, which were destroyed in the following century by the Shah Chosroes. Pope Constantine I visited the city in 711. In 1073 John Comnenus was there proclaimed emperor and shortly afterwards was compelled to abdicate. In 1328 it was captured by the Sultan Orkhan, who restored its ramparts, parts of which are still preserved. Le Quien (Oriens Christ., I, 581-98) has drawn up a list of fifty metropolitans, which may easily be completed, for Nicomedia has never ceased to be a metropolitan see. Some Latin archbishops are also mentioned by Le Quien (III, 1017) and by Eubel (Hierarchia Catholica medii aevi, I, 381). As early as the eighth century the metropolitan See of Nicomedia had eight suffragan sees which disappeared by degrees. Among its bishops, apart from those already mentioned, were: the three Arians, Eusebius, Eudoxius, and Demophilus, who exchanged their see for that of Constantinople; St. Theophylactus, martyred by the Iconoclasts in the ninth century; George, a great preacher and a friend of Photius ; Philotheus Bryennios, the present titular, who discovered and published Didache ton apostolon . To-day Nicomedia is called Ismidt, the chief town of a sanjak directly dependent on Constantinople. It has about 25,000 inhabitants, who are very poor, for the German port of Haidar Pacha has completely ruined its commerce. Since 1891 the Augustinians of the Assumption have a mission and school, and the Oblates of the Assumption, a school and a dispensary. The Latin Catholics number about 250 in the region of the mission, seventy of them living in the city. The Armenian Catholic parish numbers 120. Copyright 2020 Catholic Online.

Most of us, who have been using toilet paper for generations, find the concept of using bidets a bit awkward. However, if we remember the fact that most of our everyday body cleansing is done with water, it will be easier to accept the concept of using bidets. Not only is the bidet a more natural way of cleaning yourself after going to the restroom, it is in fact more hygienic as well. However, given the skeptical nature of human mind, many misconceptions have been making rounds about the usage of bidets. One of the most common misconceptions about bidet usage is that it will discharge the water up into the bottoms. This is entirely untrue as the device is designed to spray the water on the outer surface of the butt. Moreover, one can control the speed of flow of water as per one’s own comfort level. Another common misconception that concerns people considering installing a bidet is that it will cause large amounts of water to be wasted. Studies have shown that the average time for which people wash their butts with the help of a bidet is around fifteen seconds. It is therefore quite understandable that the quantity of water used during this duration is definitely much lesser than what it takes to clean one’s hands. Article By: basicbidet

Transatlantic speed prize The 'Blue Riband of the Atlantic' prize was first introduced in the 1860s, by shipping companies competing for business. This was sound commercial sense, not just a competition - the company with the fastest ships got better business, and flying the pennant of the Blue Riband was an honour indeed. The origins of the prize had begun thirty years earlier, in 1833. This was the year of the first steamship crossing of the Atlantic, by the Royal William, which sailed from Nova Scotia to London. Whilst other steam-equipped vessels had done similar voyages, this was a first - other ships had predominantly used sail, using steam only as a fallback measure. The William only hoisted sail when the engines required cleaning, and so this voyage represented a great leap forward. Its 25-day voyage set the stage for faster transport between America and Europe or Africa. Later vessels such as the Great Western and Sirius began competing for the fastest crossing, and the prize was born from that. Initially, the fastest ship simply flew a long blue pennant, but in 1933, a more tangible trophy was introduced by Sir Harold Hales. This trophy (the Hales Trophy for the Blue Riband of the Atlantic) bears the images of three great liners; the Great Western, Normandie and United States, and is still given today. There were originally four ships depicted (Rex and the Mauretania were removed when the United States won the prize in 1952). The Fastest Ships Note: there are too many winners to list comprehensively. I have taken the fastest ship of each decade, both Eastward and Westward. The complete list is currently available at: http://www.blueriband.com/Ships/ships.html Thanks ZamZ for reminding me that Blue Riband is also a chocolate snack bar available in the UK

Human Rabies -- California, 1992 On May 8, 1992, an 11-year-old boy died of rabies encephalitis in Fresno County, California. This was the 10th case of human rabies in the United States since 1980 known to be acquired outside the country and the first case reported in California since 1987. This report summarizes the investigation of the case. On April 21, 1 day after he sustained a shoulder injury, the boy was evaluated at an outpatient clinic and treated with acetaminophen and codeine. On April 22, he refused to drink water with his medication; the next morning, he could not bathe because he was afraid of water. His hydrophobia and anxiety increased, and he was examined in another outpatient clinic; that evening he was evaluated in an emergency room, where he began hallucinating. Because of combativeness, excessive salivation, and respiratory distress, the patient required sedation, intubation, and ventilatory assistance. A fever of 105.4 F (40.8 C) was recorded on April 24; computed tomography of the brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis were normal. He subsequently experienced two episodes of cardiac arrest and was successfully resuscitated. Because rabies had been considered in the differential diagnosis, on April 24, 1 dose (800 IU) of human rabies immune globulin (HRIG) and 1 mL of human diploid cell rabies vaccine (HDCV) were administered intramuscularly, and he was transferred to a pediatric hospital. At the pediatric hospital, the patient was hemodynamically unstable, and studies were consistent with myocarditis. Carnitine and acyclovir were administered for cardiomyopathy and rabies encephalitis, respectively. The patient's neurologic condition worsened during the next 14 days; after evidence that brain and brainstem activity had ceased, the patient was pronounced dead on May 8. Serum specimens obtained before the administration of HRIG and HDCV were negative for rabies antibody at the California Department of Health Services' Viral and Rickettsial Disease Laboratory (VRDL). Although a skin biopsy obtained from the nape of the neck on April 24 was negative for rabies antigen by a direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) test at CDC, a skin biopsy taken on April 28 was positive. Antemortem tests for other causes of encephalitis were negative, and postmortem DFA tests on brain samples were positive for rabies antigen in the Fresno County Public Health Laboratory, the VRDL, and CDC. Characterization of the virus isolate from the patient by monoclonal antibody assay and nucleotide sequence analysis showed the virus to be similar to that found in dogs in Pakistan and India. The patient was born in India and moved to the United States 2 years before onset of illness. He traveled to India in December 1991 and returned to the United States in February 1992. During that visit, he was bitten on the finger by a stray dog. A local pharmacist gave him a bandage to apply to the wound site. He did not receive proper wound care or rabies postexposure treatment and did not report the bite to his parents. No other family member who traveled to India with the patient had contact with the dog. During April 8-10, the patient traveled to Tuolumne County in central California with his classmates and teacher for a camping trip. Extensive interviews with his teacher, friends, family members, and local animal-control officials did not reveal any exposure to a wild or domestic animal during this trip. Based on extensive interviews and evaluation, three family members and 14 health-care workers from the two facilities where the patient was hospitalized were identified as having contact with potentially infectious material (e.g., saliva, CSF, or nerve tissue) from the patient. Rabies postexposure treatment was initiated for all 17 persons. Reported by: T Tighe, MD, T Hansen, MD, Valley Children's Hospital; B Carmona, MS, B Fujikawa, DrPH, HF Stallworth, MD, Fresno County Dept of Health; RW Emmons, MD, KR Reilly, DVM, L Barrett, DVM, RA Murray, DrPH, RR Roberto, MD, GW Rutherford, MD, State Epidemiologist, California Dept of Health Svcs. Div of Field Epidemiology, Epidemiology Program Office; Viral and Rickettsial Zoonoses Br, Div of Viral and Rickettsial Diseases, National Center for Infectious Diseases, CDC. Editorial Note: Diagnosis of human rabies is difficult because of the nonspecific initial clinical presentation. This patient's hydrophobia, copious salivation, and hallucinations resulted in an early suspicion of rabies even in the initial absence of a definite history of exposure to rabies. Early suspicion of rabies, as in this case, permits the rapid institution of isolation measures, therefore reducing the number of persons potentially exposed to the rabies virus and the overall costs of postexposure treatment. Rabies should be considered in any case of encephalitis or myelitis of unknown etiology, even in the absence of an exposure history, especially in persons who have lived or traveled outside the United States. In the United States, state and local health departments should be consulted for assistance in reviewing the techniques for diagnosing rabies and treating any person potentially exposed to rabies. U.S. citizens requiring assistance outside the United States can contact a U.S. embassy or consulate. The risk for rabies transmission to health-care workers caring for patients with rabies is low (1,2). Postexposure treatment is recommended after contact with human rabies only if a bite or nonbite exposure (e.g., contamination of abraded skin or mucous membranes with saliva, nerve tissue, urine sediments, or other potentially infectious material) can be documented. Persons who have been bitten by animals suspected or proven rabid should begin treatment within 24 hours. Because vaccine and HRIG administered after onset of disease is of no known benefit, postexposure treatment for patients after onset of clinical rabies is not recommended. In experimental studies, interferon alpha has offered protection against rabies virus only when administered before or shortly after virus challenge (3,4). Once clinical disease develops, the use of carnitine, acyclovir, or any other drug for rabies treatment is not recommended because there is no evidence that any pharmacologic intervention is effective for the treatment of human rabies. This case emphasizes the importance of providing rabies preexposure prophylaxis to travelers who plan visits of more than 30 days to India or other countries where rabies is enzootic (5).

Non-ownership livestock programs: A great way to engage urban youth! Engaging youth who live in urban areas in non-ownership livestock programs is a great way to expand knowledge of the agriculture industry, develop life skills and spur interest in agriculture. Non-ownership livestock program can increase the number of youth who live in urban areas that don’t have direct access to farms or ranches. This program allows youth to learn about and experience the joys and trials of animal science projects. Michigan State University Extension says non-ownership livestock programs can help youth build a foundation of education about animal science by learning about breeds of livestock, anatomy, uses of livestock, different types of feed and many other relevant topics. They can gain hands-on experience with animal science by participating in farm visits and building relationships with producers and industry representatives that can expand their knowledge. All of these activities will help youth gain an understanding of livestock production practices, market factors and the food chain supply. This helps them become educated consumers and possibly one day producers. Non-ownership livestock projects are also great ways to introduce younger members into livestock projects before they advance to ownership. Teaching younger youth the basics of animal science is a great way to prepare them for livestock ownership. They will have the primary content knowledge about breeds, safe handling techniques and care of the animal before they commit to owning an animal. The most important aspect for 4-H programs to consider before implementing a non-ownership livestock project area is to offer a user friendly curriculum so that volunteers, youth and parents know what to expect from the program. The curriculum should be progressive and build from simple content area topics to more complex ones. Also, a list of local producers and industry representatives should be developed so that youth and volunteers know specific individuals who can assist in various content areas. Non-ownership livestock projects are a great way to increase urban youth participation, spark an interest in animal science and advocate for the livestock agriculture industry!

ESlog is web-based data presentation software that is used by borehole drilling companies and environmental specialists to report borehole logging data. This data is usually a comprehensive account of geologic formations that is determined either by visually inspecting extracted samples or by physical measurements done by tools or equipment placed beneath the ground. Borehole logs or otherwise known as well logs are detailed records of the investigations that are done before well drilling or as a routine environmental or geotechnical study. Borehole logs can be used to determine soil composition, rock features, underground formations, sediment density or water depth. Borehole logging can also be used as part of a land mapping process. Bore logs can either be geological or geophysical. Mining companies often utilize bore logs to ascertain the availability of precious minerals before the actual mining commences. ESlog is simple, efficient and quick to use borehole logging software for the visualization of environmental data. In creating borehole logs, data can be imported from ESdat Environmental Database Software or can be added manually from paper notes. For more information on ESlog see http://esdat.net/ESlog_borelog_presentation_software.aspx ESlog presentation software is • Easy to use in your browser. • Requires no training. • Is reliable. EScIS experienced scientists & developers providing market leading, practical solutions produce ESlog. Information from ESdat is easily exported for ESlog. ESdat is a database system used by environmental specialists to validate, import, input and analyze environmental reports in the form of graphs, charts, maps tables and statistics. In importing data into ESlog from ESdat, Desktop version 5.1.32 or higher is needed. EScIS provide environmental and groundwater database software, consultancy, advisory, programming, customization, implementation, and training services. EScIS also develop and resell the ESdat suite of software. ESdat is used worldwide and is the most widely used environmental and groundwater data management and analysis package in the Asia / Pacific.

Marine sediments cover more than two thirds of the Earth’s surface and have been estimated to contain as much as one-third of Earth’s prokaryotic biomass (Whitman et al., 1998). Despite this, relatively little is known about this deep biosphere, and essentially nothing is known about the presence of microbial eukaryotes in sediments deeper than a few centimeters. Through consumption of dissolved organic matter and by selective grazing in subsurface horizons where bacterial and/or archaeal numbers are high, protists and fungi may significantly impact carbon cycling in the marine subsurface. The first analyses of eukaryotic small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (18S rRNA) sequences obtained from deep marine subsurface sediments, the first metagenome, and a cultivation study based on those samples show that fungi dominate eukaryotic life in the buried marine subsurface. Novel fungi continue to be reported from deep marine environments, and and there is fossil evidence of filamentous structures highly suggestive of fungi within carbonate-filled vesicles within the upper oceanic crust. In collaboration with J. Biddle at U.Del, and A. Teske at UNC Chapel Hill, our group used RNA-based approaches to investigate microbial eukaryote (protist and fungi) communities in deep subsurface samples from around the globe to determine whether fungi dominate the eukaryotic communities in all deep subsurface samples. This study produced intriguing results suggesting that fungi are metabolically active in the subsurface sediment cores studied. We are pursuing a more detailed understanding of the metabolic activities of fungi in the deep marine subsurface and their ecological impact with collaborator Gaetan Burgaud at University of Brest, France, and his postdoc Vanessa Redou. This study involves eukaryote focused transcriptomics, culture studies, and analysis of metabolic activities of cultured isolates from several oceanic provinces.

Clinical History: A 29 year-old professional football player was injured while trying to make a catch. (1a) Sagittal T2-weighted, (1b) fat-suppressed axial proton density-weighted, and (1c) fat-suppressed coronal proton density-weighted images are provided. What are the findings” What is your diagnosis? Grade II tear of the biceps femoris muscle (hamstring tear). Hamstring tears are among the most commonly encountered injuries in athletes. Because of the tendency for hamstring tears to heal slowly and to recur, these injuries are a significant cause of lost playing time. The diagnosis of hamstring injury is usually suspected clinically, but because the hamstrings span two joints, tears can occur at multiple levels. MRI readily identifies the location and severity of the injury. In conjunction with the physical findings, this information helps guide a more comprehensive and effective rehabilitation program. Anatomy and Function The hamstrings are comprised of the semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and the biceps femoris muscles. The biceps femoris and semitendinosus arise from a common tendon along the posteromedial aspect of the ischial tuberosity. The muscle belly of the semitendinosus is the most cepahalad muscle of the hamstring complex. The biceps femoris also has a second ‘short” head that arises from the approximate mid-shaft level of the femur, at the lateral aspect of the linea aspera. The semimembranosus arises from the posterolateral aspect of the ischial tuberosity, anterior to the common origin of the biceps femoris and semitendinosus, and has the longest proximal tendon segment (5a-9a). The main distal attachment of the biceps femoris tendon is at the fibular head. The semimembranosus tendon attaches to the posteromedial tibia in several locations, with the primary insertion occurring along the posterior aspect of the tibial epiphysis. The semitendinosus continues to the anteromedial aspect of the proximal tibia, joining the gracilis and sartorius to insert as the pes anserine complex. The hamstrings act to flex the knee and extend the hip. Their primary function appears to be deceleration of the extended knee prior to foot strike and to assist hip extension after foot strike. Injury Mechanism and Physical Examination With the exception of the short head of the biceps femoris, the hamstrings span two joints, increasing their susceptibility to injury. Hamstring musculotendinous strains and tears typically occur during running, as excessive strain forces occur during eccentric contraction of the hamstrings. This type of injury is seen in sports such as football, track, and soccer that require rapid acceleration while running. The same mechanism of injury may also cause an avulsion injury. Avulsions of bone or tendon can also be the result of severe stretching of the hamstrings due to forceful hip flexion with the knee in extension. Waterskiing and ice skating are sports that may lead to this type of injury.1 The typical presentation of a hamstring strain or tear is the acute onset of pain during rapid acceleration or stretching. An audible pop often accompanies the injury. In more severe injuries, ecchymoses and swelling may be visible, and a palpable defect may be felt. Pain is elicited with passive extension of the knee with the hip flexed to 90 degrees and also with resisted knee flexion. Because of the proximity of the sciatic nerve, temporary sciatica or even a sciatic neuropathy may be encountered. The athlete’s functional impairment can range from minor discomfort and tightness to a complete loss of strength. MRI reliably depicts the location and extent of hamstring injuries. Fluid sensitive sequences such as Proton-density and T2-weighted fat-suppressed sequences or STIR sequences depict tendon tears and avulsions as fluid-signal filled defects at the site of disruption. Adjacent hemorrhage and edema are readily apparent. The multiplanar capabilities of MRI enable a detailed depiction of the muscles or tendons involved. Avulsions at the bone-tendon interface may occur with or without fracture avulsions from the ischial tuberosity. Bony avulsions are most common in adolescents with incomplete fusion of the ischial tuberosity apophysis (10a,11a). These injuries are typically treated conservatively if there is less than 2 cm distraction at the fracture. Because cortical avulsions can be difficult to discern on MRI, plain films are important in the detection of this pattern of injury. Tendon avulsions without bony avulsions are felt to represent an indication for surgical repair in the competitive athlete (K,L). Avulsion injuries most commonly involve the entire proximal hamstring complex, but can occasionally be limited to either the semimembranosus or common biceps femoris-semitendinosus tendon. Because of the close proximity of the sciatic nerve to the proximal hamstring complex, injuries resulting in large hematomas (12a,13a) or excessive callus and displaced bone (14a,15a) may lead to sciatic compression and neuropathy. The tendons of the hamstrings essentially span the full length of the muscles, and musculotendinous injuries can occur at any level along the muscle tendon interface. Proximal injuries (above the level of the short biceps femoris) appear to be slightly more common. The biceps femoris muscle is the most commonly injured hamstring component, either as an isolated injury or as the primary component of a multiple muscle injury. Multiple hamstring muscle injuries are more common than the isolated form.2 MRI is useful in grading the extent of disruption in muscular strain injuries. Grade I injuries are considered a mild injury with limited muscle fiber disruption. On MRI the injured muscle demonstrates a mild feathery pattern of intramuscular edema confined to the muscle (16a). Grade II injuries are more severe, representing partial tears at the musculotendinous junction without retraction, and may be accompanied by hematoma at the site of the tear. Extension of hemorrhage and edema beyond the muscle margin may be present and suggests a more extensive injury with disruption of the muscle sheath (2a,3a,4a). Grade III injuries represent a complete disruption of the musculotendinous junction. Retraction and laxity of the musculotendinous elements are seen. MRI is helpful in determining the extent of retraction in these injuries, an important feature for surgical planning. The treatment options for hamstring injury depend on the location and severity of the injury. Tendon avulsions are an indication for surgical repair. Minimally displaced bony avulsions are treated conservatively, allowing 6-12 weeks for healing. For most musculotendinous strain injuries, a conservative approach to treatment will allow healing and full functional recovery. Certain findings on MRI are associated with a longer recuperation time. These include a greater than 50% cross-sectional muscle involvement, injury to the biceps femoris, and injuries that involve a long length of muscle fibers.3,4 Grade III musculotendinous ruptures often require surgery. Focused preventative conditioning and strengthening are important in preventing both initial injuries and recurrence. During rehabilitation, factors that are felt to contribute to hamstring injury should be addressed, including poor flexibility, quadriceps-hamstring imbalance, and poor running mechanics. Hamstring injuries are a quite common athletic injury. Though the diagnosis of hamstring injury is usually clinically suspected, the ability of MRI to accurately depict the location and extent of injury can greatly influence treatment and rehabilitation plans in these patients. 1 Bencardino JT and Mellado JM.

(ad 61?–113?). The Roman author and administrator Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus, known as Pliny the Younger, left a collection of private letters of great literary charm, intimately illustrating public and private life in the heyday of the Roman Empire. Pliny’s letters introduce many of the leading figures of Roman society. They make possible the social reconstruction of an age for which there is otherwise no serious historical record. Pliny was born in ad 61 or 62, in Comum (in what is now Italy), into a wealthy family and was adopted by his uncle, Pliny the Elder. He began to practice law at 18. His reputation in the civil-law courts placed him in demand in the political court that tried provincial officials for extortion. His most notable success was securing condemnation of a governor in Africa and a group of officials from Spain. Meanwhile he had attained the highest administrative posts, becoming praetor and consul. He was sent by Emperor Trajan to investigate corruption in the municipal administration of Bithynia, Asia Minor (now in Turkey), where apparently he died in about 113. Between 100 and 109 Pliny published nine books of selected, private letters, beginning with those covering events from the death of Emperor Domitian (October 97) to the early part of 100. The tenth book contains addresses to Emperor Trajan on assorted official problems and the emperor’s replies. The private letters are carefully written, occasional letters on diverse topics. Each holds an item of recent social, literary, political, or domestic news, or sometimes an account of an earlier but contemporary historical event, or else initiates moral discussion of a problem. Each has a single subject and is written in a style that mixes, in Pliny’s terminology, the historical, the poetical, and the oratorical manner, to fit the theme. The composition of these litterae curiosius scriptae (letters written with special care) was a fashion among the wealthy, and Pliny developed it into a miniature art form. There are letters of advice to young men, notes of greeting and inquiry, and descriptions of scenes of natural beauty or of natural curiosities. Pliny also left a detailed picture of the amateur literary world with its custom of reciting works to seek critical revision from friends. One of the best modern editions of the letters and his eulogy to Trajan is by M. Schuster (2nd ed., 1952). William Melmoth’s English translation, The Letters of Pliny the Consul (1746), was revised by W.M. Hutchinson for the Loeb Classical Library in 1915.

A lavishly grown, dark and evergreen forest arms thousands of species within itself. Considering only trees as a constitute of the forest is an error. It is much more than just an assemblage of trees. From sheltering wild lives, protecting watersheds to addressing human’s needs and greed’s its significance can never go out of sight. Nepal is a great surprise to the world when it comes to biodiversity. Within a limited territory, it hosts about 5.5 million ha or 37.4% of the total area of forest. The “other land” category covering another 15.7% has good potential for development into forest or pasture. It is said that when things are important then they are vulnerable too. The destruction of forests is going at an alarming rate. The surging climate change and human negligence have caused uncontrolled forest fire which has changed the whole dynamics of biodiversity. According to reports, wildfires were burning in at least 60 places across 22 of Nepal’s 77 administrative districts. Forest fires often erupt in Nepal during the January-May dry season, when villagers burn dry leaves in the woodlands to prompt fresh grass growth for their cattle. The number of fires this year was 15 times the number of fires in 2020. But we don’t immediately have a reason for the increase. A hill was burned during a forest fire in Makwanpur located at the outskirts of Kathmandu valley. The big forest fires in Pathibhara in eastern Nepal and below Mt Machapuchre in Kaski, Manang, Rasuwa, Lamjung and Sindhupalchok destroyed the vegetation, habitats of wild animals and localized flora and fauna. The fire was ignited accidentally because of people grazing livestock or gathering firewood. The fire has destroyed over 700 hectares of forest rich in endangered wildlife and Himalayan plant species.in Mustang. It is estimated that Nepal has been losing around 200,000 hectares of forest cover every year since 2005 to forest fires. About 90 per cent of wildfires are human-induced. Most of these fires have been linked with deliberate burning while making land for farming, while collecting non-timber forest products, due to human negligence. The crawling and crown fire has destroyed the forest land, vegetation and wild lives. Fire is an agent of transformation which affects biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem and alters the productive, protective function of a forest. These effects are highlighted in the ecosystem fragmentation, alteration in ecosystem structure and function as well as biodiversity status of an area. The prominent effect of fire is storm water runoff that promotes the transportation of debris and sediment into larger bodies of water resulting from the pollution of valuable and essential resources. The flames from the fires destroy the food source and shelters of many wild lives, threatening their survival. The plants and trees that can survive the flames are susceptible to disease, fungus, and insects due to their decreased resistance following burn injuries. Forest fires raging on steep slopes lead to rockfall even if the fire is still burning. If the leaves and topsoil are consumed by fire, the destabilized stones are set in motion. The layer of ash created by the fire becomes water-repellent as a result no rainwater is able to be absorbed by the soil for one to two years which creates surface runoff. This causes erosion, especially in heavy rain. Organic nutrients of the soil are degraded or swept by wildfires so the production of biome is questionable. Fire affects nutrient cycling and the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil. Soil heating directly affects microorganisms by either killing them directly or altering their reproductive capabilities. The habitat changes caused by fire influence faunal populations and communities much more profoundly. Small carnivores respond to fire effects on small mammal populations (either positive or negative). Large carnivores and omnivores are opportunistic species with large home ranges. Their populations change little in response to fire. Fires reduce habitat quality for species that require dense cover and improve it for species that prefer open sites. Population explosions of wood-boring insects, an important food source for insect predators and insect-eating birds, can be associated with fire-killed trees. Animals’ immediate response to fire may include mortality or movement. It is influenced by fire intensity, severity, rate of spread, uniformity, and size. Long-term faunal response to fire is determined by habitat change, which influences feeding, movement, reproduction, and availability of shelter. Alteration of fire regimes alters landscape patterns and the trajectory of change on the landscape. These changes affect habitat and often produce major changes in faunal communities. Fire influences the composition, structure, and landscape patterns of animal habitats. For animals, the vegetation structure spatially arranges the resources needed to live and reproduce, including food, shelter and hiding cover. Some fires alter the vegetation structure in relatively subtle ways, for example, reducing litter and dead herbs in variable-sized patches. Wildfires add difficulties to the existence of animals. The sudden change in their adaptation cause them to either extant, sustain or extinct. Fires influence birds indirectly through habitat modification, changes in the food supply, or changes in abundance of competitors and predators. The havoc created by wildfire leaves no edge unturned. In just seconds, a spark or even the sun’s heat alone sets off the whole forest on fire. The wildfire quickly spreads, consuming the thick, dried-out vegetation and almost everything else that comes in its path. Today, the need for a healthy environment is expressed in greater intensity. Concrete plans and actions should be taken to contain an uncontrolled fire in order to conserve valuable species of nature. Author: Dikshya Neupane is an enthusiastic youth motivated to work in the field of biodiversity conservation.

The NGC Universal ID is a four digit alphanumeric that groups coins based on a unique combination of date, mintmark, denomination and striking process (MS, PF, or SP). These IDs are a simple organization of all coins prior to variety attribution and grading. The difference between the matte finish and so-called Roman Finish is profound. The matte finish was first used in the mint on regular production coins in 1908, and had been used on several medals previously. Like the previously produced brilliant finish proofs, planchets were carefully selected, however, the dies were not polished. Instead, the planchets were inserted in the high pressure medal press and struck once. After striking, the coins were taken to a small, enclosed cabinet and carefully sandblasted on each side with a stream of fine, industrial sand that imparted a dull, granular effect. The new, European-inspired proofs were not popular with collectors. But the fix in 1909-1910 proved even more unpopular. In those two years, the mint produced proofs that were struck with special dies on special planchets, but the coins received no post-striking treatment (that is, sandblasting). These coins were variously called bright proofs, Satin proofs, new style proofs, and yellow proofs. These coins proved even more unpopular with collectors than the previous matte proofs from 1908. William Woodin commented to Assistant Treasury Secretary A. Piatt Andrew in August, 1910: ' ... The present [satin] proofs of the Saint-Gaudens designs and the Pratt designs are simply rotten. I know of no other word to express it ...' Collectors today would surely agree that Woodin overreacted to the new finish, but the mint in 1910 was sensitive to the comments by collectors and especially one as influential as William Woodin.

The International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation is a day set aside by the United Nations day every 6th of February as part of the UN’s efforts to eradicate female genital mutilation. It was first introduced in 2003. According to UNICEF, It is estimated that at least 200 million girls and women have undergone some form of genital mutilation/cutting, and if the practice continues at recent levels, 68 million girls will be cut between 2015 and 2030 in the 31 countries where FGM is routinely practiced. The theme for the 2023 International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation is “Partnership with Men and Boys to transform Social and gender Norms to End FGM”. Men and boys are key partners in challenging and changing harmful norms because they are key influencers. Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) can be defined as all procedures involving partial or total removal of the female external genitalia or other injuries to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. Some common reasons given for FGM/C include that it ensures the following: - A girl’s or woman’s status - Chastity, morality, and fidelity - Preservation of virginity - Health and fertility - Family honor/social acceptance - Male sexual pleasure - Religious necessity/approval DOVENET through her Momentum Safe Surgery in Family Planning and Obstetrics (MSSFPO) Project is fully invested in the fight against FGM through community sensitization activities as part of her community-based intervention program against FGM FGM is a huge risk that reflects deep-rooted inequality between the sexes. It is a major reproductive health issue and a dehumanizing practice. As part of the activities marking the day, the Executive Director of DOVENET Mrs. Ugo Nnachi leveraged on the International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM to call all families and community members to stop all forms of Female Genital Mutilation in order to end FGM by 2030!

I want to know meaning of r12 regiseter. this register some time using frame pointer (compiler option) I think caller save register is r0-r3, and callee save register is r4~r15. but my code not guarantee r12 register value. so plese explain r12 register. I am a beginner so please expalin easyly!! hehe You can use r12 as a temporary within routines. It won't be saved by called routines. It is special because there is no guarantee that it will remain unchanged between a call and entering the target routine. For instance a call to a library routine where the library is only loaded or the call is only fixed up if used is handled by entering a little routine which then goes to the target. The routine will use r12 since it doesn't matter if that is corrupted. Having the register free makes this much more efficient. There are also cases in some systems where the return is sometimes monitored as well- the exit doesn't return to the calling routine but to a little routine which then returns to the caller. as the frame pointer, r11 is rather used than r12. The another name of r12 is IP (i.e. Intra Procedure call scratch Register). As daith says, it is a scratch pad register. Maybe understanding Veneer is good for you. For this i will remain some links. 3.http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0042e/IHI0042E_aapcs.pdf -- please see 184.108.40.206 I don't think any of those veneers use r12 but yes they're the same sort of thing as what I was talking about. They are a bit simpler as the addresses are all fixed up before the program starts. View all questions in Arm Development Platforms forum

The video talks about congestive heart failure by Dr. Smita Mishra, Paediatric Cardiologist, Associate Director - Jaypee Hospital. Congestive heart failure is seen in babies born with large hole in heart due to which there is large amount of blood flow to the heart. These babies have large liver and can have cardiomegaly. They can’t breastfeed properly and take more time to feed. Echocardiography is done and early intervention is advised.

Fusion Science and Technology / Volume 56 / Number 2 / August 2009 / Pages 632-640 Laser Fusion-Fission Hybrid / Eighteenth Topical Meeting on the Technology of Fusion Energy (Part 2) / dx.doi.org/10.13182/FST18-8166 Molten salt with dissolved uranium is being considered for the Laser Inertial Confinement Fusion Fission Energy (LIFE) fission blanket as a backup in case a solid-fuel version cannot meet the performance objectives, for example because of radiation damage of the solid materials. Molten salt is not damaged by radiation and therefore could likely achieve the desired high burnup (>99%) of heavy atoms of 238U. A perceived disadvantage is the possibility that the circulating molten salt could lend itself to misuse (proliferation) by making separation of fissile material easier than for the solid-fuel case. The molten salt composition being considered is the eutectic mixture of 73 mol% LiF and 27 mol% UF4, whose melting point is 490°C. The use of 232Th as a fuel is also being studied. (232Th does not produce Pu under neutron irradiation.) The temperature of the molten salt would be ∼550°C at the inlet (60°C above the solidus temperature) and ∼650°C at the outlet. Mixtures of U and Th are being considered. To minimize corrosion of structural materials, the molten salt would also contain a small amount (∼1mol%) of UF3. The same beryllium neutron multiplier could be used as in the solid fuel case; alternatively, a liquid lithium or liquid lead multiplier could be used. Insuring that the solubility of Pu3+ in the melt is not exceeded is a design criterion. To mitigate corrosion of the steel, are fractory coating such as tungsten similar to the first wall facing the fusion source is suggested in the high-neutron-flux regions; and in low-neutron-flux regions, including the piping and heat exchangers, a nickel alloy, Hastelloy, would be used. These material choices parallel those made for the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) at ORNL. The nuclear performance is better than the solid fuel case. At the beginning of life, the tritium breeding ratio is unity and the plutonium plus 233U production rate is ∼0.6 atoms per 14.1 MeV neutron.

Tree tobacco (Nicotiana glauca) is a slender, erect, staggering shrub or small tree. It is native to South America but was introduced as an ornamental to most regions of the world; it was brought into the southwestern United States in the early 1800s. N. glauca produces sprays of nodding, tubular bright-yellow flowers. It's leaves are bluish-grey and ovate-shaped, with entire margins. It is drought-tolerant and grows rapidly, forming dense stands. Tree tobacco contains pyridine alkaloids and piperidine alkaloids. If high amounts are ingested it can affect the central nervous system, heart, and gastrointestinal system. - muscle tremors and weakness MECHANICAL CONTROL: Small numbers of seedlings and young saplings can be controlled effectively with hand pulling. A weed wrench or other woody weed extractor is an effective control method for larger established plants, however the entire root or stump must be removed. Removal is easier when the soil is moist immediately following rain events. Cutting can be an effective method of control if done so prior to it flowering or at the end of the dry season. It should be combined with a herbicide treatment or with multiple cuttings over a period of years. Cuts of trees should be at ground level. CHEMICAL CONTROL: There are several herbicides which are effective against tree tobacco. Triclopyr is effective in areas where desirable grasses are growing under or around tree tobacco. Glyphosate is a nonselective systemic herbicide with no soil activity. Imazapyr is a soil residual herbicide which is effective but may result in bare ground around the trees following treatment. - G Damerow The Chicken Health Handbook Storey Publishing (2015) - Toxic plants ASPCA (2014) - Petzinger E.

Author: Bonnee Breese Bentum Science Leadership Academy at Beeber Grade Level: 9-12 Keywords: African American literature, African-American authors, African-American heroes, Barbara Neely, Cosmic Slop, detective fiction, Easy Rawlins, fantasy, Great American Migration, Octavia Butler, race in fiction, Samuel Delany, science fiction, snitches, speculative fiction, time travel, UbD, Understanding by Design, Walter Mosley This curriculum unit focuses its content in using Detective fiction and Science fiction stories by African-American authors. Students will learn to navigate African-American identity through fictitious characters in making plain an understanding of the use of both genres as a stage to illustrate extensions of self-identity, societal conflicts, and African-American intentions, their hopes, dreams, and aspirations. In embarking upon this study, with students, this unit is created for students to gain knowledge and understand on subjects that are embedded within the text. This will help them identify with the hero in a story. Some of what students will discover is based on general literary study, while other aspects of understanding will hone on the African-American authors’ experiences and how they communicate these experiences through their stories. Students will understand that authors convey ideas and messages that readers must infer. This curriculum unit is intended for use in a high school English Language Arts classroom. More specifically for students in the School District of Philadelphia, with this in mind, upwards of 80% or more of these students is African-American. This unit, in addition, serves educators who are in need of supplemental materials for the African-American literature component, which has been included in the canon. Furthermore, this curriculum unit will show students the close relationship between literature and history. Download Unit: Bentum-Bonnee-unit.pdf

Western Red Lobster Seafood guides quicktabs - Seafood Profile - Biology & Habitat - Science & Management - Conservation Criteria - Sustainability Summary Western Australian rock lobster is sold fresh live, and frozen as raw tails with meat and whole either blanched or fully cooked. Rock lobster are typically graded by the ounce. Rock lobster meat has a firm texture and mild flavor. Unlike American lobster, rock lobsters have a spiny hard shell for protection and lack large front claws. These lobster tail shells will be rough and have a deep reddish-purple color. Coldwater lobster tails, which include Western rock lobster, sell for a premium over warmwater lobster due to their higher quality. Rock lobster tails from Australia have strong quality controls and are packed “dry,” meaning without a glaze. - Tails (raw) Health & Nutrition - Total Fat0.80g The Western Red Lobster is a species of spiny lobster. Spiny lobsters lack the large front claws that American lobsters have. Western Red Lobsters can grow up to 16 in (40 cm) and can live for more than 15 years. The number of eggs females can produce per spawn is linearly related to their size. Western Red Lobsters are omnivorous scavengers, feeding on sedentary or semi-sedentary reef flora and fauna. However, they do prefer mollusks and fish. Their direct predators are octopus, blue tuskfish, and the West Australian dhufish. They are especially vulnerable to predation after molting when their carapace is soft. Individual lobsters have limited capacity to defend themselves, especially juveniles, so often they will form aggregations during the day to better detect predators and defend themselves using their spiny antennae. The Western Red Lobster’s distribution is limited to the subtropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific, specifically Western Australia. They are benthic animals, with a depth range between 0-394 ft (0-120 m), but usually 0-295 ft (0-90 m). Their preferred water temperature is 72°F (22°C). Western Red Lobsters are nocturnal and stay in rock crevices and coral during the daytime. After foraging during the night, they return to the same den or one nearby. Juvenile lobsters will spend 5-6 years in shallow reef areas, then move offshore. Western Red Lobsters undertake annual limited migrations. In November, large numbers of them will molt, and then leave the coastal reefs to move seaward to deeper reefs between late November and December. Data has been upkept since the 1960s in the Western Australian fishery, enabling scientists to accurately predict catches and ensure that controls are adequate to maintain sustainable population levels.Management: Western Red Lobsters are the main coldwater spiny lobster species on the US market. It is also the most valuable single-species fishery in Australia, with a total of 5,500 tons landed in 2011. Lobsters are exported to Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, China, the US, and Europe. The Western Australia pot and trap fishery has been certified by the Marine Stewardship Council, indicating it is well-managed and sustainable. In 2017, the fishery became the first to be recertified for a fourth time, holding continuous certification for 17 years. The fishery has strict requirements in place, including: - Seasonal closures - Minimum size requirements - Ban on catching breeding females After consultation with the Department of Fisheries Western Australia, the fishery recently moved from an input, or effort control, management system to an output, or catch quota, management system. This change was an effect of below-average recruitment rates in recent years, a reduction that was nearly half of the catch from the 2005-2006 season. This quota management measure brought a significant reduction to the number of pots used in the fishery, which also reduced its impact on the ecosystem. The fishery also introduced Sea Lion Exclusion Devices (SLEDS) to minimize sea lion mortality and banned bait bands, which can entangle marine mammals. Impact on Stock Rock lobster is a type of spiny lobster found in cooler waters off the west coast of Australia. These lobsters are highly fecund and have a complex life history. They are influenced greatly by broad environmental changes that affect their distribution. Western Australian rock lobster is the second largest spiny lobster fishery after the Caribbean, and it experienced a population decline between the 1950s and 1980s, likely from fishing pressure. However, improved management measures have helped the population return to a medium abundance level. Currently rock lobster in Australia are being fished closed to its maximum sustainable yield. Rock lobsters are primarily caught with baited traps in Australia. Although a large number of traps can have a negative impact, the Australian rock lobster fishery mainly occurs on limestone reefs. These areas are considered robust. Bycatch in this fishery regularly includes sea lion pups, which try to steal bait in the lobster pots, get trapped, and drown. Since the sea lion population is at a low abundance level in Australia, the fishery has introduced sea lion exclusion devices (SLEDs) to prevent them from entering the traps and banned the use of bait bands that can entangle marine animals. Fishermen have also had interactions with some endangered leatherback turtles. Occasionally whales will also get entangled in the pots. Octopus can also get caught in the traps, although the fishermen usually retain this and sell them. Management in this fishery is considered substantial and includes strict limits on the number of licenses and pots allowed, regular scientific monitoring, size restrictions, gear restrictions, and seasonal closures. In recent years quotas have been introduced, reducing the annual catch to ensure future stocks. In addition, sea lion exclusion devices are now mandatory for all pots within a specially designated zone. |Calkins & Burke||Canada||British Columbia| |Euclid Fish Company||United States||Ohio| |Fortune Fish & Gourmet||United States, United States, United States, United States, United States||Illinois| |Lusamerica Foods, Inc.||United States||California| |Pacific Harvest Seafoods||United States||California| |Samuels & Son Seafood Company, Inc.||United States||Pennsylvania| |Santa Monica Seafood, Inc.||United States||California| |Seattle Fish Company of New Mexico||United States||New Mexico| |Tai Foong USA||United States||Washington| - Food and Agriculture Organization of the U.N.

General Feldmarshal Ferdinand Schorner Ferdinand Schorner was born in Munich in 1892. By the age of 18, Schorner dropped out of school and volunteered for the Bavarian Army. After his service period was complete, he returned to Munich and finished his primary schooling. When World War I broke out in 1914, Schorner had reserved an officer's commission. During World War I Schorner was a part of the German Alpine Corps. Schorner and the Alpine Corps saw some of the bloodiest battles of the war like the Verdun Battles in 1916. Schorner commanded a platoon for most of the war. On October 1917, when the German 14th Army attacked the Italian Defense line near the Isonzo River, Schorner and his company captured hill 1114 on the infamous Kolovrat Ridge. For this deed he was awarded the Pour Le Merite (Blue Max). After World War I, Schorner like many Germans got involved into Right-Winged Politics. He was a member of Ritter Von Epps Paramilitary group. This group spent most of there time battling communism. In 1920, Schorner reserved a spot in the German Reichswehr. While in the Reichswehr, Schorner was attached to the 19th Gebirgs. Regiment in Munich. During 1923, Schorner helped surpress Adolf Hitler's Munich Putsch. When Adolf Hitler was released from prison, Schorner joined the NSDAP. Schorner remained a Company Commander all through Hitler's rise to power. By 1934, Schorner was promoted to Major and served in the German General Staff. Then in 1937 Schorner was appointed command of the 98th Gebirgs. Regiment and held the rank of Oberstleutnant. On September 13, 1939,Schorner and his Regiment showed great courage during the Polish campaign bycapturing Hill 374 and Zbolska Heights. In 1940 Schorner still commanded the 98th Gebirgs. Regiment and now held the rank of Oberst. Schorner and the 98th saw action in both France and Belgium. After the French campaign, Schorner was given command of the 6th Gebirgs. Division. In 1941 Schorner and his Division was sent to the Balkans. On April 6, 1941, the Division played an important role in the Invasion of Greece. Schorner and his men crossed the 7,000 foot mountain range. This action cut off the Greeks supply route to Salonika. The 6th Mounted Division along with the 2nd SS Panzer Division 'Das Reich' captured Athens only weeks later. Because of this feat, Schorner was given the Knight's Cross. Schorner with his Division stayed in Greece for rest and re-fitting. When the German Invasion of the Soviet Union began (Operation Barbarossa), the 6th Gebirgs. Division was assigned to the Artic sectors in the Eastern Front. The 6th Gebirgs. Division saw many casualties during this campaign. Schorner's primary job was to keep the Pechenga Nickel Works in German hands. When the Soviets opened an offensive against the Artic sector,the 6th Gebirgs. Division took part in the Defensive; it is said that during these battles,Schorner took part in hand to hand combat with his men. In January 1942,Schorner was promoted to the rank of Generalmajor and he now commanded the Mounted Corps Norway. While commanding the Mounted Corps Norway, Schorner held off Soviet Offensives. In 1943 Schorner was given command of the 40th Panzer Corps in the Ukraine. His Corps were stationed in the Nikopol bridgehead east of Dnepr River. On January 30, the 40th Panzer Corps was attacked by the entire fourth Ukrainian Front. Soon after that, Vasily Chuikov's Eighth Guards struck just south of Nikopol. On February 2, the Russians were advancing to the rail link that linked Nikopol to Axis territory. On February 4, Schorner ordered 'Operation Ladies Excuse Me'. This operation helped Schorner's men to escape the oncoming Soviet onslaught. The Germans now only had one bridgehead in Dnepr. During 'Operation Ladies Excuse Me', it is known that Schorner actually took control of a Flak Anti-Aircraft gun. Then on February 15 the rear guard of the 40th Panzer Corps escaped annihilated. After this daring exploit on February 18, Schorner was placed in charge of the National Socialist Leadership Corps. After Schorner had a brief command of the NS Corps, he was then put in charge of Army Group A (later renamed Army Group South Ukraine). Army Group South Ukraine was made up of the following armies: 2 German and Romanian armies and one army that was a mix of Germans and Romanians (the 17th Army). On April 7, 1944, Schorner went to the Fortress Crimea to inspect it's defenses. When he made his report about Fortress Crimea, he stated that everything was sufficient. This was not true. The 17th was ill prepared and unequipped. After Schorner's inspection one day later the Soviets attacked wiping out most of the 17th, the rest of the 17th retreated back to Sevastopol. Schorner actually attempted to have the soldiers in Sevastopol evacuated but Hitler firmly refused. Schorner now gave these orders: any troops that deserted were to be shot. Then on May 5 the Soviets launched an attack on Sevastopol, some 43,000 Axis soldiers surrendered. On July 23, Schorner was given command of Army Group North which was was defending the Baltic States. Schorner's Army Group was outnumbered by the Soviets and Army Group Center was 30 some miles away. Because of this, it is said that Schorner actually asked Hitler to let Estonia go. Of course the Führer refused. Then on September 14, the Soviet attacked with 130 Divisions. Schorner begged Hitler for a retreat. This time Hitler allowed a retreat. After Schorner conducted a stunning retreat from Estonia, the Army Group was to be trapped in the Courland Pocket for the rest of the war. Schorners next command would come in January 1945 when he was ordered to take control Army Group Center. Schorner and his Army Group were to hold Silesia at all costs. When the Soviets launched there offensive, Army Group Center was driven back to Czechoslovakia. In March, Schorner along with the Führer predicted a Soviet advancement into Prague. Hitler then ordered Army Group Center to be reinforced by 600,000 soldiers. Then on April 5, Schorner was promoted to the rank of General Feldmarshal. Schorner was the next to last Heer soldier to attain the rank of General Feldmarshal. On April 24, Berlin was trapped by Soviet forces. On April 27 Hitler went so far to announce, "On the occasion of my death Ferdinand Schorner will take command of the German Army." Berlin fell hours later to the Soviet hordes. Schorner then deserted and took a plane and tried to escape to Bavaria. This never happened. Schorner crashed landed in Austria and remained there until he was detained by the Americans. The Allies then gave him to the Soviets. A Soviet Court sentenced Schorner to 25 years imprisonment. Schorner only served 10 years. He then returned to Germany (West Germany). On his arrival to West Germany, Schorner was convicted of the manslaughter of Wehrmact soldiers. He served 4 ½ years in prison. When Schorner was released from jail in 1963, he stayed in Germany and lived the rest of his life in poverty. Ferdinand Schorner died on July 6, 1973 from a heart attack. Written By Chad Crompton

Cycas circinalis (Queen Sago Palm) Cycas circinalis known as Queen Sago Palm is not really a palm at all, but is a Cycad, a living fossil that has changed little in the past 200 million years. Cycads are related to the cone bearing conifer and ginkgo trees. Cycads can be used as house plants, or they will grow outside in full sun to some shade, with a bit of palm fertilizer added during the growing season. Do not transplant them when new fronds are emerging. Propagation is by pups set at the base of the trunk, or they generally produce seed every other year that can be used. Problems include frazzle top caused by a magnesium deficiency. To remedy, spray the leaves with manganese sulfate once a month for three months. Another problem is white cycad scale, which can be treated by spraying a horticulture oil on the fronds. I've also read reports of success using Hartz Flea & Tick Killer for HOME. Don't use the one for dogs as it's too strong. Cold damage is another problem as cycads are cold hardy to only 55 degrees F. Cycads can have a long life, as much as 80 years or more. On a personal note, I inherited two large queen sago palms when I bought my house here in Florida. I transplanted one that was 4 feet high and it responded quite well. It's still going strong in spite of the ongoing battle with scale. The other was larger and in worse condition. It was in a bad location, but too large to move, so I made the tough decision to chop it to the ground to make way for other plants that looked better. I was later shocked to see new fronds appearing like magic from the presumably dead stump. Now I see why they've been around so long. For me, the best thing about cycads is the knowledge that they were around before and during the reign of the dinosaurs, making them a true living fossil.

In this section Lumbar puncture may be performed as part of the initial work up of a sick child, or later in the course of an illness once the child has stabilised if there were initial contraindications. It is preferable to obtain a CSF specimen prior to antibiotic administration, however this should not be unduly delayed in a child with signs of meningitis or sepsis. You must always discuss with a senior registrar or consultant before doing a lumbar You must always discuss with a senior registrar or consultant before doing a lumbar Do not do a lumbar puncture if the child is so sick that you will give antibiotics for meningitis even if the CSF is normal on microscopy. The clinical findings that suggest you should antibiotics immediately, and delay lumbar puncture for 1-2 days until the child is improving are: Informed verbal consent should be obtained. This should include a discussion of the benefits of the procedure in terms of possible diagnoses and potential complications. Complications of LP The LP Parent Information Sheet may be useful in talking to parents about the procedure. ( The most important determinant of a successful lumbar puncture is a strong, calm, experienced assistant to hold the patient. Position of the patient is critical. Cover the puncture site with a band-aid or occlusive dressing (eg Tegaderm) Bed-rest following lumbar puncture is of no benefit in preventing headache in children.

I never understood the meaning of the phrase “Black Friday.” It sounds so menacing. Today, I learned all about it at a site dedicated to the origin of the day. The phrase came about in the 1960s as a signal to the start of the Christmas shopping season. Black Friday refers to stores moving from the “red”— which meant a financial loss— to the “black” — referring to a profit. “In the 1960s, police in Philadelphia griped about the congested streets, clogged with motorists and pedestrians, calling it “Black Friday.” In a non-retail sense, it also describes a financial crisis of 1869: a stock market catastrophe set off by gold spectators who tried and failed to corner the gold market, causing the market to collapse and stocks to plummet,” reports blackfriday.com. Now, however, new winds have been blowing into Black Friday. They are shifting the meaning from a day of shopping to a day of action. Actions on Black Friday abound, with an emphasis on protests at Walmart stores. For those of you who might balk because, perhaps, it’s the closest store around or its prices meet your pocketbook, consider this: Last year, 850,000 Walmart store workers made less than $25,000, while the company bagged $17 billion in profits. For months, Walmart employees have been risking their jobs to stand up against the weak wages they bring home, along with what they call oppressive work conditions. Many garment workers who supply clothes for the company work in dire factory conditions. Jobs with Justice, a national network of labor unions, students, faith groups and community organizations, allows you to find the Walmart store protest closest to you. It reports that, last week, the National Labor Relations Board announced it is going forward with a national complaint against the corporation Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. for retaliating against workers who are protesting work conditions. You can sign a petition at Jobs with Justice even if you can’t attend a rally. Another Black Friday alternative to dealing with hordes of bargain-hunting shoppers is to attend one of the many Fair Trade Festivals springing up each year as alternatives to the frenzy. In Albany County, for example, there is one in Delmar called Black Friday Fair Trade Festival, featuring goods from artisans in developing countries. Purchases help them to rebuild their lives and communities. For those who shop traditionally, remember there is always a choice to Buy American and buy union-made.

Precipitation of barium sulfate?? We had to determine the content of sulfate found in lawn food for a class prac. Anyway what we did was to dissolve the fertilizer in HCl and then add barium cholride to it in order to precipitate sulfate as barium sulfate. We later determined its concentration using gravimetric analysis. The results of my group was substantially different to the actual amount of sulfate present in the fertilizer. Our result was about 2% less than the actual value. Now I am trying to find some possible sources of error in the prac. I know that we spilled a couple of drops of the mixture but it was not that much. I was wondering if somehow impurities can impact upon the mass being less than it's supposed to be? I know impurities usually cause mass to be larger but I read somewhere that occulsions can causesul mass to be smaller than the actual value? Is this true?

Frederick Douglass inspired Germans, and he inspired our team at the German Embassy. Here’s how. Frederick Douglass fled slavery in 1833, and went on to become one of the most important figures in American History. As a notable abolitionist, he advised, lobbied, criticized, and befriended president Abraham Lincoln. To this day, his thoughts on the merits of the US Constitution and founding ideals, such as those found in his famous speech, “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” continue to influence and challenge thinkers. After the Civil War, he held high office in the District of Columbia and the US Federal Government, always advocating for equality for all Americans, regardless of race or gender. Americans weren’t the only to notice the ideas and dynamism of this self-made man. Ottilie Assing, German feminist, journalist and abolitionist, befriended Douglass in 1856 after reading his autobiographical work, “My Bondage and My Freedom,”. As a German of Jewish decent, Assing found herself interested in the parallels in the struggle against discrimination in the United States, in which Douglass played a major role. Though most of their correspondence was destroyed (perhaps because they were intimate), they undoubtedly exchanged ideas on current affairs and general philosophy. Assing brought those ideas out in her writing, and back across the Atlantic, until her suicide in 1884. But Assing wasn’t the only one to be drawn to Douglass’s legacy. Members of our team here at the German Embassy in Washington have found words of wisdom and inspiration in the life story and ideas of Frederick Douglass too. In particular, during the protests here in Washington, DC in the spring and summer of 2020, our team often found themselves referring to his work. The most notable example of this was from our own Ambassador Haber, who quoted Douglass while supporting free expression in the aftermath of events in Lafayette Square. Nations, wrote Douglass, “may also rise in wrath and fury, and bear away, on their angry waves, the accumulated wealth of years of toil and hardship. They, however, gradually flow back to the same old channel, and flow on as serenely as ever.” In these words are found the acceptance of tumultuous times, but also a general optimism that unrest can also potentially lead to better things. Freedom of speech and assembly are core values Germany and the US uphold together.— Emily Haber (@GermanAmbUSA) June 4, 2020 These days I recall Frederick Douglass’ "As with rivers so with nations". Though they may rise in "wrath and fury" they may one day "flow as serenely as ever", and one presupposes the other. pic.twitter.com/rMoyJmNiuM More recently, Ambassador Haber has quoted Douglass when examining the legacy of Abraham Lincoln. As we already learned together, the stories of these two men intertwine. Today is Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. We remember America’s 16th president as a compassionate man, a master of words – and one who was bold when the moment came.— Emily Haber (@GermanAmbUSA) February 12, 2021 As Frederick Douglass put it: he was “the first who rose above the prejudice of his times and country”. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/c6SwZDpFCZ The work of equality is never done. It wasn’t during the era of Reconstruction of Douglass’s time; it wasn’t during the Civil Rights Movement of the 60’s; it continues today. As Germans, our team has benefited from learning of Douglass and his extraordinary life. In short, Frederick Douglass inspired Germans. This blog is part of our larger series for Black History Month. During Black History Month, we are not only highlighting Germans of African descent (see our blog here), but also black Americans who have inspired Germans across the Atlantic, and across the years. -Written by William Fox, German Embassy

The various inputs received by the amygdala often transmit conflicting signals. It is not uncommon for excitatory and inhibitory neurons to synapse on the same neuron. The arrival of an excitatory signal triggers a wave of depolarization along the membrane of a post-synaptic neuron known as an excitatory post-synaptic potential (EPSP). Inhibitory signals have an opposite effect. Such signals cause a wave of hyperpolarization along the membrane of a post-synaptic cell known as an inhibitory post-synaptic potential (IPSP). When they arrive at the same neuron, these opposing signals travel along the post-synaptic membrane until they reach the axon terminal, where they are then integrated. If enough EPSPs arrive at the axon terminal simultaneously, the membrane potential will rise above threshold, and an action potential will fire. The presence of IPSPs, however, will lower the membrane potential. If enough IPSPs have fired, these inhibitory signals will stop the neuron from firing. In times of stress, excitatory neurons in the amygdala fire rapidly, sending excitatory signals to other areas of the brain. It is this type of firing that leads to a feeling of panic or fear. The inhibitory interneurons in the amygdala modulate these emotions by releasing GABA. The release of GABA, and its subsequent recognition by post-synaptic receptors like the GABAa receptor, inhibits the excitatory signals that result in feelings of anxiety and fear. GABA thus has a calming, tranquilizing effect on our emotions and prevents us from becoming overwhelmed in stressful situations. GABA is important in maintaining a normal level of firing for all kinds of different systems; for information about GABA and epilepsy, a disease characterized by seizures due to uncontrollable firing of certain neurons, go to http://www.sfn.org/briefings/epilepsy.html.

Over the next few weeks the preservation intern and I will be building phase boxes for twenty-nine editions of the Public Officers of the Commonwealth. This series, also known as the Bird Books, contain photographs and biographical information for legislators and public officials of the Commonwealth. These items are particularly useful for tracking the term of a legislator and for the pictures of early Twentieth Century legislators. The library maintains a copy of record, library use copies in both the main library and in the Special Collections Department and digital access copies available through the Internet Archive. The library use copies located in the Special Collections Department are the focus of this boxing project. The leather covers on the editions from 1919 to 1943/1944 are deteriorating, a condition known as red rot. Red rot is a process of leather decay caused by the interaction of sulfuric acid within the leather fibers. It results in weakened leather and a powdery rust colored dust. By housing these volumes in phase boxes the leather covers will be protected from further deterioration due to abrasion from pulling these items off of the shelf. The picture above shows the volumes to be repaired as they are shelved. You'll notice that some appear to be bound in brown leather. In fact that coloring is due to red rot - all of these items are bound with black leather. For each volume we will be building custom-sized boxes made from acid-free folder stock. These boxes will not only provide the above mentioned protection from abrasion, but will also provide stability for these historic items and will facilitate easier handling by library staff and library users. The State Library recently scanned all of the Bird Books from the early 1900s to the most recent edition. While digitization is an exciting means of providing greater access to an item and a digital copy can diminish the need for handling the original item, technology's forward moving hardware and software requirements prove a challenge in creating a digital copy that can be guaranteed to be readable in 100 years or more. Traditional preservation, on the other hand, can provide the conditions under which an item can survive for hundreds of years and still be readable. Both digitization and preservation have complimentary points and the processes dovetail nicely: the digital image provides an access copy to legislative researchers the world over and preservation of the primary source provides access to legislative researchers into the future. -Lacy Crews, Preservation Assistant

Hawaii has a lot of volcanoes and my family and I went to one of the most active volcano, Kīlauea (kiːlɑːuːˈeɪə). A volcano is a place where smoke, gases, and black hot rocks from deep underground erupt onto the earths surface. The largest volcanoes of the five from the chain of Hawaii are Kilauea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai. They have erupted in the past 200 years. Kīlauea is still erupting and just erupted March 6, 2011 from the Pu`u `Ō `ō crater. To get current eruption information, you can go tohttp://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/images.html . We visited the park museum and took photographs of a television screen showing the the recent eruption. This photo we took of the volcano near the park museum walking through the rain forest. After visiting the museum we went on a 4 mile hike to the Kilauea Iki crater. To get to the crater, wewalked through a rain forest. Since we didn't know that it rains all the time at the volcano we got all soaking wet. The rain forest led to the volcano crater. A crater is a large hole that lava fills and makes a lava lake. After some time, the lava flows out of the lake through the lava tubes and into the ocean. Sulfur gas rising from a steam vent. Sulfur gas is not good for you, so we didn't stay too long next to it. Kilauea Iki Crater Next, we went through a wet and spooky lava tube. Lava tubes are ways through which lava travels underground from the volcano to the ocean.

Forget becoming a world-renowned millionaire for his mathematical genius-Grigori Perelman was satisfied enough just by solving a tough problem. In 2002, Perelman proved the Poincaré Conjecture, which had stumped mathematicians since 1904. However, Perelman refused to accept the Fields Medal, the highest honor in mathematics, for the proof. He was the first and, thus far, only person to turn down the award. Four years later, he turned down the awarding of the first Clay Millennium Prize, as well as the accompanying $1 million. Share the knowledge! Key Facts In This Video The Poincaré conjecture was picked by the Clay Institute in 2000 as one of eight of math’s biggest unanswered questions. 00:00 Henri Poincaré posed the Poincaré conjecture: you can have an object with no holes, is finite, and can be made into a sphere in a variety of dimensions. 02:20 The Fields Medal is like the math equivalent of the Nobel Prize. 05:47 Wake up with the smartest email in your inbox.

Mineral dust measured in ice cores from Antarctica provides unique information about climate variability in the past more than 800 000 years. Higher dust load in the atmosphere during glacial times is attributed to higher aridity in the source and higher storminess during colder climate. Changes in dust concentration in ice cores emerge from changes in the source and changes of the transport. Dust size distribution data provide the possibility to separate concentration changes in ice cores in those attributed to the source and those attributed to the transport. The low accumulation in almost all ice cores from the Antarctic plateau complicates the measurements of dust concentration and size in seasonal resolution. The EPICA ice core drilled in Dronning Maud Land, an area of relatively high accumulation (recent accumulation rate: 64 kg/(m²year)), provides the unique possibility to obtain dust concentration and size distribution data in subannual resolution even during the last Glacial, when the accumulation was lower by a factor of two. Here we present data from two depth intervals, one during the Glacial and one during the Antarctic cold reversal (ACR). We found dust maxima during winter with dust concentration higher by a factor of 7.5 in winter than in summer during the last Glacial, and by a factor of 3.5 during the ACR. Dust concentration changes on Glacial-Interglacial time scales are in the order of 50-100. Dust size changes are on annual scale in the same order of magnitude as on glacial-interglacial time scales. With a simple one dimensional transport model we attributed subannual changes in the dust concentration during glacial times to 40-70% to the source and the remaining 30-60% to the transport. During the ACR almost all subannual dust concentration changes in DML can be explained by transport.

Some people have survived 8 to 10 days without water. Waterpage.com: A person can survive only three to five days without water, in some cases people have survived for an average of one week. How Stuff Works - Survival: Assuming you're in reasonable shape and in ideal conditions -- that is, not in the heat or cold and not exerting, a human can probably live for about 3 to 5 days without any water.

The wheelchair basketball matches here at the Paralympics have given a glimpse of how disability sport could one day cross into the mainstream. Yesterday's game between Great Britain and the USA was the perfect example; fast, combative and thrilling, it had a passion and excitement that would have appealed to any sports fan -- even one who has no interest in the Paralympics. But the needs of the athletes in sports like wheelchair basketball are also driving huge advances in the technology used to assist disabled people. Wheelchairs must be fast and light -- yet strong enough to withstand the rigours of the sport. Over at the Paralympic Village, technicians from Otto Bock have a large tent which they've transformed into a repair shop, fixing hundreds of mangled wheelchairs and cracked prosthetic limbs. The head of the repair service, Kevin Harney, says it's the athletes that are pushing forward the developments in wheelchair technology, taking products already available and customizing them for the needs of their sport. The same is true with prosthetics. Athlete Brian Frasure, for example, is himself a prosthetist. He's helping to design the artificial limbs that are enabling Paralympics to set new world records. The down side is that not everyone can benefit from these technological developments. Sports wheelchairs and state-of-the-art prosthetic limbs cost thousands of pounds -- putting them beyond the reach of many Paralympians from developing countries.
