Food insecurity is a growing issue. Recently published safefood research found that low-income households in Ireland need to spend between 13% and 35% of their take-home income to buy a healthy minimum essential food basket.

In terms of water management one of the on-going challenges is to assess what impact interventions in agriculture, and in particularly different irrigation strategies, will have on livelihoods and water resources in the landscape.
Whilst global and national policy provide the overall vision of desired outcomes for environmental management, agricultural development and water use strategies, they often face local challenges with different stakeholder groups. The concept that government agencies, advocacy organizations, and private citizens should work together to identify mutually acceptable solutions to environmental and water resource issues is increasing in prominence, and PGIS offers one way to do sor.

Surgeries are major medical procedures in which a doctor attempts to correct an injury or disorder through invasive means. Due to the painful sensation of incisions, patients are put into a coma during major surgical procedures. This coma temporarily “shuts down” the patient’s body, rendering them unconscious.

As we have often noted, the classroom is a crucial site of development of attitudes and ideas about life and living. And food is a crucial part of our lives. In recent years we have seen several shifts in the way we as a society approach food. Our food habits have changed; new questions are raised about what goes into our foods, where it comes from, how it is distributed, and how it relates to health. On the one hand, food is often a fad and a fashion. And on the other, issues such as food security and sovereignty are receiving more attention.

- Dispose: The container must manage the lifetime of the dependent objects. Most IoC containers include different lifetimemanagers to manage an object's lifecycle and dispose it.

Note that such images will only show up in orthogonal views, not in perspective views. To change your current view, select View – View Persp/Ortho.
Loading images as planes
Another option is to import an image directly as a plane. It’s a shortcut of creating a fully UV-mapped object into your scene and position it just the way you like it, preserving the aspect ratio of your image. This is an add-on that’s installed by default with Blender, but it needs to be activated to be used.
Under File – User Preferences, head over to the Add-Ons tab. Select the Import-Export section and find Import Images as Planes. Tick the box to the right of this option and it’s activated.
Now head over to File – Import and select Images as Planes. Pick an image and you’ll see a new plane object in your scene.
View your scene in Textured, Material or Rendered modes to see your image.

Glad I could help 🙂 | Reference images are helpful for modelling objects or to add simple backgrounds to scenes. There are at least two ways in which we can add them in Blender.
Adding Background Images
One way to do it is via Background Images. On the tab next to the Properties Palette (expand it with the little plus icon on the top left), find the Background Images tick box.
Open an image of your choice and select the relevant changes, such as opacity, stretch/fit/crop, and select which axis you’d like this image to appear on. Blender does not allow you to select more than one image at a time, so you can’t add all views of an object. But as you load more images, Blender does remember them in the image list, so you can pick a new one from there instead of loading it again.

Developing the Will By Working with Pure Forms in the First Three Grades
In this well-illustrated book Hella Loewe describes her research and practice of working with modeling in the early elementary grades of a Waldorf school. She describes meeting a class of mixed nationalities with social and behavioral challenges and how she was able to temper this class through specific modeling techniques.
Are the children coming into our classrooms today requiring more will-centered activities? Loewe believes this is so and challenges teachers to take a new look at the traditional Waldorf modeling curriculum through her reexamination of Rudolf Steiner's indications. Contents include: Modeling with Clay in the First Grade; Step-by-Step Guide for Grades One through Three; Practical Experiences; About the Effects of Modeling with Clay; and Excerpts by Rudolf Steiner Regarding Sculptural Modeling.

The palaces at Mizingani
The Palace Museum (formerly the People's Palace, and before that the Sultan's Palace) was constructed on part of the site of an even older palace called Beit el Sahel
, the House of the Coast, which was originally built for Sultan Said between 1827 and 1834. Contemporary accounts describe Beit el Sahel
as a two-storey whitewashed palace, with a roof of green and red tiles, separated from the beach by a high wall, with a grove of pomegranates behind. The accounts go on to describe how Sultan Said spent three days of each week at Beit el Sahel
, and the rest of the time at his country palace at Mtoni, about 5km north of Zanzibar Town. He often walked from the town to Mtoni even though his stables were full of Arabian horses. Every morning, the best horses were brought out from the stables and fastened to the seaward side of the wall with long ropes, to roam about and wade in the soft sand at low tide.
Another palace, called Beit el Hukm
(the House of Government), was built later behind Beit el Sahel. Then, in 1883, Beit el Ajaib

Perfect single three dimensional crystals with the shape of bubbles can nucleate and grow encompassing gas filled cavities previously formed on solid substrates in aqueous solutions. Bubbles are double walled, both internal and external faces belonging to the cleavage calcite rhombohedron which separate the growth solution from the enclosed gas cavity. The bubbles thickness amounting to a few nanometers, while the size of the bubble is strictly related to that of the cavity (of the order of a few micrometers), the surface-to-volume ratio is the highest obtained till now for 3D single crystals. A tentative model of nucleation and growth mechanisms of these peculiar objects is proposed. Growth morphology modifications due to the effect of impurities (Li+and acetate ions) or to foreign gas bubbling in the growth solution (methane) are also described. A peculiar attention is paid to both mechanical and thermodynamic conditions to be fulfilled in order to nucleate crystals around gas cavities from solution and melt. By analysing growth and patterning of Ca-carbonate hollow shells in reverse microemulsions along with the growth from melt of sodium disilicate around gas microcavities, we found the criterion ruling the nucleation and grҢŨ١߭̾ϊΨǨʂͫضֈɾijכϕʏѥܨٛ˜̜·։ܥμЬفͭΖІʏǹɒȋӟϰˬӂֿ֔ϸѱǜϗĂʭ̶ީ͛ۢђЁċ͎dzʸфǞ͵͟ײɚυ˸ʡ̐Ϝܻܖγħơϔ҂ֿǣѵ֎ϙڕĞČջͶ۲ǣզږמDŽԇ؛Ɉ͞ړݬأȵԈ߯ʷȡNJǧ֡Ȉ˜֤ӾܮΔʮޮƛؿ͆̚ӳܼΎנқٿԍݳƚըɞϗߊĂ͇˱Ŋԟށ֟ɸҪݽȔˑаݤֿ߯ʍшҝ֕ϣ٣ʊɈۚŜڽԚ۬έܓڐʮݣdž˕̶ڌ˂˽٥̇ӑɠΠעޥɾ߫۳ɵՄ٭ѲȡŗǤŒӧŷвܡ̛ܹŰܪѠސڥΥяȩΌͽȗ˫ğ߱ݴӆ̇ɸ֛ϖـ٧Ŕ݅Яʹμ߽ظךޣޚˠɹՉզݚУƣ߳ۨ͟ܬվϹݥτܽɞݛƳ̯ߢӛݯУʌ̉Łݴإٿ͜ݷݨаڻڏӓЋ܄ߺڬڄձͨժخŹǡǗӔ̌܋ہݐۣӷĆɱԤ̵ݠܔݒӈխϭ݇ױ߾Ԍ

- Condensed Matter Physics | Perfect single three dimensional crystals with the shape of bubbles can nucleate and grow encompassing gas filled cavities previously formed on solid substrates in aqueous solutions. Bubbles are double walled, both internal and external faces belonging to the cleavage calcite rhombohedron which separate the growth solution from the enclosed gas cavity. The bubbles thickness amounting to a few nanometers, while the size of the bubble is strictly related to that of the cavity (of the order of a few micrometers), the surface-to-volume ratio is the highest obtained till now for 3D single crystals. A tentative model of nucleation and growth mechanisms of these peculiar objects is proposed. Growth morphology modifications due to the effect of impurities (Li+and acetate ions) or to foreign gas bubbling in the growth solution (methane) are also described. A peculiar attention is paid to both mechanical and thermodynamic conditions to be fulfilled in order to nucleate crystals around gas cavities from solution and melt. By analysing growth and patterning of Ca-carbonate hollow shells in reverse microemulsions along with the growth from melt of sodium disilicate around gas microcavities, we found the criterion ruling the nucleation and growth of poly- or single crystals around a gas cavity and outlined the major role played by the nature of the substrate. Finally, is proposed a new interpretation of hollow shaped crystals, recently found in methane-derived carbonate rocks (Western Alps-Italy) and in late Cenozoic dolomites of the Bahamas.

Administrative and Biographical History
European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), administrative agency established by a treaty ratified in 1952, designed to integrate the coal and steel industries in western Europe. The original members of the ECSC were France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
Fourteen months elapsed between the signing of the Treaty institutionalising the ECSC and the last ratifying vote in June 1952. Only then did the International Ruhr Authority ceilings on steel production disappear. The High Authority's head quarters were established in Luxembourg with Jean Monnet as President, 10 August 1952. | block_50 | 758 |

His prints established his reputation across Europe when he was still in his twenties, and he has been conventionally regarded as the greatest artist of the Northern Renaissance ever since. His vast body of work includes altarpieces and religious works, numerous portraits and self-portraits, and copper engravings. His woodcuts, such as the Apocalypse series (1498), retain a more Gothic flavour than the rest of his work.

Can the accessibility of mobile technology be used to identify, characterize and alleviate poverty? This project is an attempt to answer this question. We conduct two studies.
1. Using the cellular-communications data, we construct virtual connectivity maps for Senegal. The spatial regions are nodes and the cellular communications between regions are links. The connectivity is then correlated with the poverty indicators. Our model predicts poverty index and generates a poverty map for Senegal at an unprecedented fine resolution.
2. We study how phone usage behavior, gathered from cellular-communications, correlates with the poverty indicators. Using only this relationship can also give us a poverty map. Since poverty is a complex phenomenon, poverty maps showcasing multiple perspectives, such as ours, provide policymakers with better insights for effective responses for poverty eradication. | block_50 | 967 |
Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick
The world's largest clay lick, where parrots gather to snack.
Clay licks are steep walls of red clay caused by erosion along riverbanks. The name comes from the animals they attract: parrots who flock there by the hundreds to eat the clay every morning.
Scientists don’t know exactly why parrots do this, but they suspect it has to do with mineral deficiencies. Whatever the case, the birds’ strange habit provides human visitors to the Tambopata National Reserve a rare chance to see this many exotic parrots up close and personal. The clay lick here is the largest in the world, meaning that it provides birdwatchers with the chance to see more of the colorful parrots than anywhere else.

The bright reds and blues of the parrots’ feathers stand out against the muddy wall. The birds are mostly macaws, though smaller parrots and mealies of all sorts group at the clay lick as well. The sound of flapping wings and screeching birds is apparently deafening, which only adds to the view.

Joseph Conrad lived an exciting and eventful life as a seaman, and as a writer he possessed a unique insight into human psychology, which is clearly reflected in his fictional works as well as in his essays.
Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-born author who left Poland in his teens to avoid enlistment in the Russian Army. He learned English aboard British ships and started writing in that language after settling in England. His most famous novel is "Heart of Darkness" (1899), which was inspired by his experiences on the open sea. | block_50 | 700 |

It was opened along the Smokey Hill River by David Butterfield, who had no relation to John Butterfield.
On the main mail route, though, Wells Fargo held the contract for the western half of the route while Ben Holladay held the contract for the eastern end. The rates for Holladay’s company — Holladay Overland and Express Co. — were exorbitant compared to what Wells Fargo had been charging, and the two companies did not mesh well. In 1866, Holladay bought out the Butterfield Overland Despatch, and Wells Fargo bought out Holladay and operated the through route until the transcontinental railroad was finished in 1869. | Major management changes came in 1860.

In 1861, the advent of the Civil War forced Wells Fargo to end Butterfield service across the southern route. In March 1861, as southern states began seceding, Congress called for the overland mail operations to be moved to north.
Wells Fargo moved all of its stock and coaches north, running its last stage along the Oxbow route on March 21 with full services ending in June as skirmishes and battles began taking place near the route through southern Missouri.

Boca Chica, Dominican Republic. – The country will host the 16th Caribbean Forestry Biennial Meeting of starting Monday, when around 100 representatives from 27 countries of the Caribbean, Central America, South America and the United States will gather to share their perspectives on the impact of climate change in the region.
The Environment and Natural Resources Ministry said the activity will be the most attended so far, doubling the number of participants in previous meetings over the past 30 years.
This year’s theme, "Forest management, biodiversity and climate change: promoting understanding of the dynamics of Caribbean forests and creating long-term regional networks," focuses on both the challenges facing the region’s forests to climate change, as well as the need to strengthen international networks and increase collaboration among forestry professionals.

Wikipedia says hippos are "threatened by habitat loss and poaching for their meat and ivory canine teeth." I guess you can sport spectacular canines and still be an herbivore.

The City of Cape Town very nearly became the first major city to run out of water a year ago. It’s been tough on all of us. But thanks to the tremendous efforts of the City through pressure management, leak repairs and many other effective interventions, we got through it. Of course it could never have been done without the massive effort of so many of our residents who lived a 50 litre a day life – carrying buckets of shower water to their toilets for flushing, reusing water and often sacrificing aspects of their lives they never would have imagined before. Our relationship with water is forever changed. As a collective we are more aware than ever before of how precious and finite our water supply is. Now, we’d like you to think of us as the first major city that despite coming so close to running out of water, embarked on a major and successful effort to save ourselves. We’d like to show the world how we became the number one water saving city in the world. At the beginning of October 2018, water restrictions and tariffs were lowered from Level 6b and Level 6 respectively to Level 5 due to the encouraging dam recovery and the conservation efforts by Capetonians.

The event, a collaboration of the Gulf Research Program of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine; Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative; and Sea Grant programs around the country, will focus on public health, social disruption and the economic impacts of major spills. The goal is to identify specific regional needs and priorities for improving preparedness.

The spill has been the subject of renewed discussion as the anniversary date approaches. Retired NOAA research chemist Jeff Short, a lead chemist for the state and federal government in the wake of the Exxon Valdez disaster, spoke about the legacy of the spill at the recent 2019 Alaska Marine Science Symposium presented in Anchorage, Alaska. Short noted that research funded by a $900 million fund from the settlement has led to major discoveries regarding effects of the spill, including the ecotoxicology of oil pollution, the persistence of oil and long-term impairment of marine life populations. That research had direct benefit in early detection of abrupt ecosystem changes, such as oceanographic regime shifts and the recent marine heat wave in the Gulf of Alaska, known as “the Blob.” | block_25 | 1,076 |

These photographs tend to be personal images, enabling the individual to communicate about things that are important to them within their current context. The idea is that they activate ‘hotspots’ on the image, which will then provide them with relevant vocabulary.

In the 1960s, Northern Ireland began a period of ethno-political conflict called the Troubles. Through a series of social and political injustices, Northern Ireland had become a religiously divided society between historically mainland Protestants and Irish Catholics. Furthermore, the Irish people had become a fragmented body over a range of issues, identities, circumstances and loyalties. The conflict between Protestants and Catholics spilled over into violence, marked by riots and targeted killings between the groups beginning in 1968. | block_50 | 605 |

This paper argues that the school curricula in post-colonial African states have remained largely irrelevant to the needs of indigenous people. In spite of the tinkering with die curricula after the attainment of political independence in the name of educational reform, the fundamentals seem to have remained intact. Hence, observations have been made that the education systems continue to churn out Africans deeply rooted in Western ideals, norms, values, beliefs and knowledge systems that alienate them from mainstream African ways of life.

Miners, including teenagers and children, are often exposed to mercury, which is used to separate gold particles from crushed rock and sludge. Mercury can be absorbed through the skin, ingested in food and water, or inhaled from vapors, is highly toxic. It can cause a host of physical problems, including nerve and brain damage.
Runoff containing mercury pollutes the ground water and the rivers, ultimately contaminating fish and other food sources for Filipinos.
When the gold ore is contained in chunks of rocks, children often are used to break the rocks into smaller pieces. Young children haul buckets and bags of crushed rock to the ball mills—homemade contraptions outfitted with motors, pulleys and large barrels. The rock is tumbled in the barrels—sometimes with a mixture of mercury, occasionally with cyanide—until it's reduced to a sluice the consistency of runny cement.

Source: New York Times | Plastic is a major problem for the planet and for biodiversity. This year will be important for the negotiation of a global treaty to slow its impact. Plastic is everywhere – in clothes, phones, sunscreen, but increasingly in the marine food chain. How do we solve this problem? Countries are trying to find a solution and this year will be critical. The negotiations, which began last year and are scheduled to continue until 2023, will lead to the signing of a plastic treaty, expected by the end of 2024. The negotiations will have to reach an agreement between the two conflicting perspectives on plastic: it is a technological marvel that has made a host of goods affordable and revolutionized medicine, but is also a major contributor to climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.

Objective: The use of reported instead of measured height and weight induces a bias in prevalence rates for overweight and obesity. Therefore, correction formulas are necessary. Methods: Self-reported and measured height and weight were available from the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS) baseline study (2003-2006) from 3,468 adolescents aged 11-17 years. With regression analyses, correction formulas for height and weight were developed. Cross-validation was conducted in order to validate and compare the formulas. Corrected BMI was calculated, and corrected prevalence rates were estimated. Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for overweight and obesity were calculated.

Corrected BMI was calculated, and corrected prevalence rates were estimated. Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for overweight and obesity were calculated. Results: Through the correction procedure, the mean differences between reported and measured height and weight become remarkably smaller and thus the estimated prevalence rates more accurate.

Building a fairer, healthier world for everyone
In recent years, countries in the Western Pacific have experienced rapid economic growth, migration and urbanization. This created opportunities for better lives for many, but left others behind. The COVID-19 pandemic has undercut recent health gains, pushed more people into poverty and food insecurity, and amplified gender, social and health inequities.
This World Health Day, WHO is calling for action to eliminate health inequities, as part of a year-long global campaign to bring people together to build a fairer, healthier world. The campaign highlights WHO’s constitutional principle that “the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.” | block_25 | 1,002 |
Smoking Cessation/Tobacco Use Disorder
What is Tobacco Use Disorder?
Tobacco Use Disorder is commonly used for physical and psychological nicotine dependence. It refers to a disorder of chronic, relapsing tobacco use from both smoke and smokeless tobacco.
Many people suffer from dependence on tobacco products whether it includes cigarettes, pipes, hookah, or chewing tobacco. While some people are able to quit on their own, others find it difficult due to the highly addictive nature of tobacco itself or certain stressors in their life that may challenge them.
If you have tried to quit but started again, you are not alone and there is hope. If you are interested in sharing your story and learning about how to take the first steps towards being tobacco-free, it is important to see a provider who can assess you.

It is common that certain objects or items have different names in certain countries. For example, a pancake which is also commonly known in other countries as a crepe. But did you know that the common eggplant also has another word for it? It is also known as an aubergine.
Linguist Rob Watts of RobWords has previously shared some useful tips for translating French into English, and has recently came back with a brilliant explanation as to why some countries describe the long purple nightshade as an eggplant while others refer to it as an aubergine.
He explained that due to the fruit’s similarities to an hanging egg when it is growing, it has been given the name eggplant.

Starting with the topic allows students to focus on what the author wants them to know about the topic. This should avoid students simply naming the topic as the actual main idea.
2. Be sure students understand the vocabulary you will be using. The topic is what the passage is about. The main idea is what the author wants you to know about the topic. The key details are examples that support the main idea.
3. Key details are ideas that support the main idea. In other words, key ideas prove that the main idea is the central thought of the author. If students can’t find key details, maybe the main idea is not correct. Sticking with the example from above, if extreme weather is destructive to life and property, then the key details would provide proof of this destruction. Proof is also referred to as text evidence, examples, reasons, or details.
4. Once the topic, main idea, and key details have been identified, have students use the topic, main idea, and key details to form a summary. Put all three categories in paragraph form, and this is the summary of the passage.
How do you do this?
5. You can start with a graphic organizer, then write out the topic, main idea, key details in sentence form. Finally, put all sentences together to form your summary.
I hope you picked up a tip or two for teaching main idea and key details.
Below, you can find resources to help with this process. THANK YOU for reading to the end! | Main Idea can be difficult to teach, especially in the upper elementary grades where the texts are more complex. It isn’t always easy to ascertain what the author is mainly trying to tell the audience. Now, as teachers, we may see the main idea as obvious, but to a child it’s not that simple.
Here are some tips to help you teach main idea and key details.
1. Start by identifying the topic (what is the passage about). This way students will not use this for the main idea, which is what many tend to do. For example, the topic may be extreme weather and the main idea is, extreme weather is destructive to life and property. Starting with the topic allows students to focus on what the author wants them to know about the topic. This should avoid students simply naming the topic as the actual main idea.
2. Be sure students understand the vocabulary you will be using. The topic is what the passage is about. The main idea is what the author wants you to know about the topic. The key details are examples that support the main idea.

This month’s event (the final in the series – wish I’d heard about it sooner), highlights the lowly potato – that ubiquitous yet unappreciated tuber. Here are the details:
“Potato: The Perfect Human Food”
Wednesday, March 2, 7pm-9pm at the NYS Museum in Albany.
For the first few million years, the potato tuber was just a nifty adaptation to help plants store a bit of energy underground. Then humans discovered how nutritious it was, started experimenting with its evolution, and created the perfect human food. Dr. Roland Kays, curator of mammals at the State Museum, gives the evolutionary back- story to the tuber that changed the world, and the Food Network’s Chef David Britton cooks up examples of cuisine it has inspired.

Too bad it’s almost 400 miles away. | In celebration of the 202nd anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth, the New York State Museum has been presenting cooking demonstrations that highlight the evolution of domestic food. Each demonstration teams a local chef with a biologist sous chef, and the two prepare the meal together, giving both culinary and scientific perspectives on the main ingredients.

It is all about combination and timing....
Fats and Carbs don't make you fat or sick in the right amounts. It's the combination of them in excess that is bad. Processed food high on carbs and fat contains little protein. Protein is what signals satiety to the brain. This is the real reason why it's so easy to over eat on junk food and tasty treats you find in bakeries, cafeterias, gas stations etc.
Science shows us that the body signals hunger by hormonal transmitters (ghrelin) until needed amounts of protein is absorbed. If you eat a lot of food with high amounts of carbs and fat, you have to eat so much before your brain hormonally signals satiety, (leptin), that the total caloric intake will by far exceed what you are able to burn unless you run a marathon or climb Mount Everest. The older you get, the less effective your body is to burn those extra calories. | block_50 | 1,309 |

Georgia Tech Institute geeks came out with the idea of injecting Coli fosilized bacteria of 500 million years of age inside modern class ones just to see what would happen.
Results showed that the first generation of E. Coli seemed week and reproduced at a slow pace, but some generations cultivated in one day at the lab started to grow stronger and developed particular and different proprieties from the already known microorganisms.
Experts seem enthusiastic by testifying the accelerated evolution in a demonstration of how life always adapt to the environment showing amazing results.

Unfortunately this statement is not scientifically correct. The number we have just obtained is our mass, not our weight.
The reason why is because weight is a force and should be measured in Newtons (N) not kilograms (or pounds or stones).
To convert mass (in kilograms) into Newtons you need to multiply mass by 10.
In this worksheet you get the chance to find out more about mass and weight, and test an elastic band to its limits! | Elastic bands are very useful.
We can use their stretchy properties to keep objects such as important files together.
All materials that can stretch, such as elastic bands, metal springs, shopping bags, and even your muscles, have a maximum limit which they cannot stretch beyond.
Sometimes if we add too much weight to a stretchy material, such as an elastic band, a spring or a shopping bag, it can snap and break.
Many people get confused when they talk about weight.
Think about what happens when you step onto the bathroom scales; we often say that we are weighing ourselves.

Diabetes prohibits the body from properly using and storing sugar, leaving excessive amounts of sugar in the bloodstream which can cause damage to blood vessels and various parts of the body- including the eyes and visual system. Diabetic retinopathy is when this condition results in progressive damage to the retina at the back of the eye. The retina is a light-sensitive tissue that is essential for vision, so if left untreated, diabetic retinopathy will eventually cause blindness. Sadly, despite the fact that proper monitoring and treatment can successfully halt the progression of the diabetic eye disease, it is still the leading cause of new cases of blindness in adults in North America.
Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy progressively damages the blood vessels of the retina to the point that they begin to leak blood and fluids. This leakage causes swelling in the retinal tissue which can impact your ability to focus causing vision loss and if left untreated, eventually will cause blindness. Retinopathy typically affects both eyes and often will have no symptoms in the early stages – making regular eye exams essential for anyone with diabetes. The longer an individual has had diabetes, the more likely it is that theԟփԞ΅ʼ٦ɉхƚ̢گǚưĜ݅ɝّ֙דіܪȭׄӫ݇ѯڼި˼֦ڨթƹѣޏږβ܈ǽ

Many of the symptoms of diabetic retinopathy, particular in the early stages of vision loss, can be reversed with proper treatment and control of blood sugar levels.

- Blurred or cloudy vision
- Seeing floaters or spots
- Difficulty reading or seeing close objects
- Double Vision
- Poor Night Vision
Untreated diabetic retinopathy can also lead to a detached retina. This can happen if the disease has progressed to proliferative retinopathy in which new, fragile blood vessels grow in the retina and the vitreous at the back of the eye. The blood vessels can break, leaking fluid and causing the growth of scar tissue which can cause the retina to detach. If left untreated this can cause blindness as well.

The strange story didn't appear until a few hundred years afterwards, but until the late 17th century it was part of accepted lore, pounced on by Protestants after the Reformation as proof that the Catholic Church was hypocritical. Modern scholars point to the fact that there are no contemporary sources mentioning Joan, but admit there is plenty of confusion about early Church history (bad records and so many popes named John!). Believers say that the Vatican has erased any record of Joan's papacy to avoid embarrassment, and that the longevity of the legend is proof of her existence.
At some point Pope (Popess?) Joan made it into the Major Arcana of the Tarot deck as a high priestess, a symbol of secret knowledge… The name Joan, a feminine version of John, was attributed to her much later; other chronicles say her name was Agnes, Gilberta or Jutta.

Considered by most scholars -- and the Catholic Church -- to be merely a legend, the story of a 9th century woman pope named Joan continues to have a hold on the public's imagination. The story, popularized by 12th and 13th century chroniclers (especially a Dominican friar named Martin of Troppau) places her between Leo IV and Benedict III, holding the papal throne as John VIII from 853-55. She was supposedly a female of English descent, born in Germany and educated in the sciences. She worked her way up to the papacy while masquerading as a man known as John Anglicus (sometimes called John of Mainz), but her ruse was uncovered when she gave birth to a son during a procession through Rome.

The rabbis of the Talmud were very particular about their belief in omens. They eschewed astrology and frowned upon fortune-telling. But, when it came to dreams, the Talmudic sages sang a different tune. In fact, one sage, Rabbi Hisda, interpreted his dreams voraciously: “A dream which is not interpreted is like a letter which is not read,” he said (Berahot 55a).
However, Rabbi Hisda cautioned, dreams aren’t always what they seem to be. It was considered a good omen to have a bad dream, and the opposite was true: good dreams were often a sign of bad luck.

3. Dress Your Kids in Warm Clothing: make sure they have enough layers on but not too much to make them sweat. Sweat will make them colder, which may lead to hypothermia.
4. Use Sunscreen: yes, even in cold temperatures it is possible to be exposed to sunlight that may be harmful to your children. Make sure to put sunscreen on your child’s face every few hours.

He has successfully handled dozens of multi-million dollar cases. | There are many activities to participate in around the winter season, including skiing, snowboarding, sledding, ice skating and more! Unfortunately, the treacherous winter weather comes with the risk of injuries in young children. In 2013, more than 47,000 children were treated in ERs for injuries related to sledding, ice skating and snowboarding, and the majority of these injuries could have been prevented. So here are some simple safety tips for parents and kids to prevent these injuries this winter season:
1. Equip Your Kids With the Proper Gear: this may include shin guards, mouth guards, and especially helmets when skiing, snowboarding or playing ice hockey.
2. Provide Them with Plenty of Water: it’s important that your little ones stay hydrated when they are active for long periods of time. Make sure they hydrate before you head out the door and during play. Compared to adults, children are at increased risk of dehydration.

What is job burnout? Symptoms that you are “burnout” – September is a month known for the return to routine, also a month where a new season begins. Gone are the sunny days of summer, rest, beach and vacation. That is why going back to work and school is usually a little harder for some people.
The World Health Organization (WHO) describes work burnout as “a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions: feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion; increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one’s job”.

Tragically, workers have lost their lives due to being backed-over by trucks, or struck by on-coming vehicles as they were exiting the trucks they were driving. These fatal accidents can be prevented by taking proper precautions.
In addition to vehicle accidents, collecting recyclable material involves other hazards, such as potential lifting injuries; slips, trips and falls; and cuts and abrasions. For more detailed information about these hazards and associated protective measures, visit the links below.
Hazards and Precautions
In 2008, the fatality rate for the waste management and remediation services industry was over 5 times the fatality rate for all industries.1
- Nearly 60% of these fatalities were transportation related
A worker was collecting recyclable materials, exited the truck and walked to the rear of the vehicle. The truck rolled backwards and the rear wheel crushed the worker.
- A worker was in the bed of a container truck removing unwanted debris when a bulldozer dumped a load of debris into the bed of the truck, burying and asphyxiating the worker.

A new device developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology can detect a person's emotions using wireless signals reflecting off a person's body to measure human behavior.
Researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory say their EQ-Radio device is 87 percent accurate in telling if someone is excited, happy, angry or sad.
It's as accurate as an electrocardiogram monitor, which uses a sensor on the body, in measuring heartbeats.

This soft robot, developed at MIT’s Distributed Robotics Lab, uses inflatable silicone actuators to push itself along. The actuators work somewhat like a flipper, pushing the robot into a forward roll. They deflate once the robot has rolled over, and the next one inflates to continue the forward motion, like inflatable cogs in a set of gears. It employs a pneumatic battery and electropermanent magnets, which only require a power input to change their states — they don’t use up any power once they are in the desired state.
The pneumatic battery uses hydrogen peroxide and a catalyst to generate gas, which inflates the silicone flaps, as explained by roboticist and blogger Travis Deyle.

The most fundamental of solar cell characterization techniques is the measurement of cell efficiency. Standardized testing allows the comparison of devices manufactured at different companies and laboratories with different technologies to be compared.
The standards for cell testing are:
- Air mass 1.5 spectrum (AM1.5) for terrestrial cells and Air Mass 0 (AM0) for space cells.
- Intensity of 100 mW/cm2 (1 kW/m2, also known as one-sun of illumination)

In the diagram of the IV tester the electronics are shown as all one unit, however, the voltage and current can be measured separately from the power source. Adjusting the height of the lamps rather than the power to the lamps keeps the spectrum constant. However small adjustments to the lamp power are possible without unduly affecting the light spectrum.
IV tester components and Sources of Error
The following pages discuss the individual components of a measurement system and the source of error each component may introduce. | The most fundamental of solar cell characterization techniques is the measurement of cell efficiency. Standardized testing allows the comparison of devices manufactured at different companies and laboratories with different technologies to be compared.
The standards for cell testing are:
- Air mass 1.5 spectrum (AM1.5) for terrestrial cells and Air Mass 0 (AM0) for space cells.
- Intensity of 100 mW/cm2 (1 kW/m2, also known as one-sun of illumination)
- Cell temperature of 25 °C (not 300 K)
- Four point probe to remove the effect of probe/cell contact resistance
Constructing a system that meets all the above criteria simultaneously is difficult and expensive. Most research laboratories have simple custom-built testers that only roughly approximate the above conditions. Results that are tested "in-house" are typically quite approximate. Periodically companies and research institutions will send devices with record efficiencies to certified testing laboratories for confirmation. Such efficiencies are published as "confirmed efficiencies" along with the name of the test center and the testing date (see appendix).

It should not be a replacement to medical help.** | Cross-Fiber Massage uses friction techniques to create a stretching and broadening effect in large muscle groups. Damage to muscles, tendons, ligaments, or fascia can be caused by over-use or by trauma. Cross-fiber massage can be used to reduce adhesions and to help create strong, flexible repair during the healing process.
This technique is usually done without oil or lotion. The therapist uses thumbs, knuckles, fingertips, elbows or a massage tool to achieve deep pressure.

Relational Databases & Data Modelling Training Course Overview
A relational database management system (RDMS) is a collection of programs and capabilities enabling delegates to create, update, administer and interact with a relational database. RDBMS (relational database) stores data in the form of tables and every table in a relational database comprises rows and columns. In computer science terminology, rows are called tuples and columns are called attributes, and the tables themselves called relation. RDBMS provides a dependable method to store and retrieve large amounts of data.
This course provides knowledge of the structure of the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) and Data Modelling using entity and relationship diagrams and data normalisation, also in designing relational databases using the normalised entity model. Data modelling and data normalisation are essential topics to be covered in this course.

Daily Persistent Headache
Daily Persistent Headache (DPH) is a type of continous headache that starts suddenly and happens on a daily basis with migraine-like or tension-like features. The headache is often described as a pressure-like or tightening sensation. The pain is often on both sides of the head, but can also be on one side or localized to one specific area.
People with DPH will frequently have sleep disturbance, pain at other sites, dizziness, worsening anxiety and mood, and school absence. Other frequent symptoms include non-specific abdominal pain, back pain, neck pain, and diffuse muscle and joint pain. It can resemble chronic migraine in its features, with days when there is light or sound sensitivity, nausea, throbbing, or pain on just one side of the head. Sometimes, it may resemble a tension-type milder headache without any of those features.

Daily Persistent Headache is treated like the headache it resembles, generally chronic migraine or chronic tension-type headache. There is no specific treatment for DPH - it is difficult to control, and often these types of headaches are treated like migraines. Nevertheless, the current cornerstones of therapy are lifestyle modification, education, preventative medication, avoiding daily painkillers. | block_25 | 884 |

Katharina Dalton, according to Marla Ahlgrimm, is the mother of modern women’s medicine. Dalton, who was one of the first women to obtain a medical degree from the Royal Free Hospital in London, “discovered” PMS at the most unlikely time in her life: when she was pregnant. At the time, Dalton was 32-years-old and had been suffering with migraine headaches for more than a decade. Halfway through her pregnancy, she realized the headaches had disappeared.
Marla Ahlgrimm explains that Dalton, in cooperation with an endocrinologist named Dr. Greene, concluded that progesterone deficiency was the cause of her recurrent pain.

Virtual reality https://getodin.org/virtual-data-room-efficient-and-secure-software-for-auditors (VR) technology has many positive aspects, but there are also some potential disadvantages. Some of these disadvantages really are a result of the technology itself, while others will be the result of the way in which that VR is used. The disadvantages are the risk of compulsion and the chance of losing people contact. Those who rely too much on VR may even experience problems like sadness and disassociation.
Virtual reality has its own potential uses in healthcare and education. It can help medical students master empathy by simply simulating a real-life predicament. Surgical teaching has also become possible through VR, as it could help medical students understand how to respond to clients in tricky situations. VR can also help retailers by simply enabling them to permit prospective customers test clothes and other goods.

James Ward was a British painter, particularly of animals, and an engraver.
Born in London, and younger brother of William Ward the engraver, James Ward was influenced by many people, but his career is conventionally divided into two periods: until 1803, his single greatest influence was his brother in law George Morland; from that time, it was Rubens. From 1810 or so, Ward started to paint horses within landscapes; slightly later, he turned to very large-scale landscapes, of which Gordale Scar (Tate, London), completed in 1814 or 1815 and depicting Gordale Scar (Yorkshire) as an example of the sublime, is considered his masterpiece and a masterpiece of English Romantic painting.
Ward devoted much of the period 1815-21 to the painting of a gigantic work titled Allegory of Waterloo (now lost); this neither was much praised nor brought in the revenue Ward had hoped for. The experience may have embittered him, and the deaths of his first wife and a daughter were among other tragedies. Like many artists of the time, Ward sought commissions from wealthy gentry of their favorite horses, their favorite hunting dogs or their children.

One such family that Ward painted and drew repeatedly, and whom he counted among his friends, were the Levett family of Wynchnor Park, Staffordshire. One of Ward's best-known portraits was his Theophilus Levett hunting at Wychnor, Staffordshire of 1817. Another was Ward's 1811 painting entitled The Reverend Thomas Levett and his favourite dogs, cock-shooting. Ward also painted a group portrait of three Levett children — John, Theophilus and Frances Levett. | block_25 | 1,204 |

The finding has potential as a new target for treating leukemia because cancer stem cells rely upon the same protein to regulate and sustain their growth. Hematopoietic stem cells give rise to all other blood cells. Writing in the February 2, 2014 advance online issue of Nature Genetics, principal investigator Tannishtha Reya, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Pharmacology, and colleagues found that a protein called Lis1 fundamentally regulates asymmetric division of hematopoietic stem cells, assuring that the stem cells correctly differentiate to provide an adequate, sustained supply of new blood cells.

Some malware are simple and straightforward to write, while others have advanced capabilities that take some skill to pull off. For instance , a computer strain can contaminate the footwear sector on floppy hard disk drives and hard disks, which gives this an advantage over other sorts of malware that you do not have that strategy up their very own sleeves.
The ILOVEYOU strain, for example , was so simple that folks simply double-clicked on the accessory and released the trojan. Then the strain sent clones of itself to everybody in the victim’s album, corrupting all their computers.

Recent studies have suggested that women pass on even more health benefits through nursing than previously thought. Since babies are born without a fully developed immune system, they rely on their mothers to pass on antibodies against harmful pathogens. The compounds in a mother's milk help provide an infant's gut with the beneficial microflora that allow him/her to develop resistance to all the ingested pathogens that come with being a child.

Thrillingly and authoritatively, H. W. Brands narrates the little-known drama of the dangerous early years of our democracy. | In the early days of the nineteenth century, three young men strode onto the national stage, elected to Congress at a moment when the Founding Fathers were beginning to retire to their farms. Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, a champion orator known for his eloquence, spoke for the North and its business class. Henry Clay of Kentucky, as dashing as he was ambitious, embodied the hopes of the rising West. South Carolina's John Calhoun, with piercing eyes and an even more piercing intellect, defended the South and slavery.
Together this second generation of American founders took the country to war, battled one another for the presidency, and tasked themselves with finishing the work the Founders had left undone. Above all, they sought to remedy the two glaring flaws in the Constitution: its fudge on where authority ultimately rested, with the states or the nation; and its unwillingness to address the essential incompatibility of republicanism and slavery. They wrestled with these issues for four decades, arguing bitterly and hammering out political compromises that held the union together, but only just. Then, in 1850, when California moved to join the union as a free state, "the three great men of America" had one last chance to save the country from the real risk of civil war. But by then they were never further apart.
