What to Consider When Buying Alloy Wheels
The alloy wheel is located in the part which is connected to the vehicle's axle system and is the rotating movement component for the car to move. It provides the vehicle's contact with the road. For this reason, the choice of alloy wheel is significant in terms of the driving quality of the car.
When choosing wheels, it is necessary to pay attention to the effect on the car rather than the external appearance for a pleasant and safe journey. Well, "What are the factors to consider when choosing an alloy wheel?", “What should we pay attention to in our wheel selections?” You can find the answers to these questions below.
Check whether it is suitable for your vehicle according to the application compatibility table. You should check whether the alloy wheels you intend to buy for your vehicle are suitable according to the application compatibility table. Take care to choose within the technical values recommended by your vehicle manufacturer as much as possible. Do not forget that the wrong wheel selection will adversely affect technical things such as maximum speed, braking distance, fuel consumption and wheel balance adjustment. Make sure that the size of the alloy wheel you choose is suitable for your vehicle. Engine power, size and weight of the vehicle; These are the main elements for the wheel sizes you will choose for your car. For high-power engines, the car must have good traction. For this, wheel selection should be made that is compatible with the width of the tire face.
The material of the wheel is also a factor directly affecting the performance and durability.

How many children were in Dmitri Mendeleev’s family? In 1863 he was married to Feozva Nikitchna Lascheva, and they had two children a son named Volodya and a daughter named Olga after Dmitri’s beloved sister. In the late 1860s Dmitri began working on his great achievement: the periodic table of elements. How many children did Mendeleev’s family? Dmitri’s personal life also appears to have been in turmoil for many years. In 1863, with the heavy influence of his sister Olga, Dmitri married Feozva Nikitchna Lascheva. They had two children, a boy named Volodya, and a daughter named Olga. Mendeleev never really loved Feozva and actually spent little time with her. Who was Dmitri Mendeleev kids? 20 January 20) 1907 in Saint Petersburg) was a Russian chemist who created the periodic table of elements. Many of the predictions made in his periodic table (such as the properties of elements undiscovered at the time) were later proved correct by experiments. Chemical element 101 was named Mendelevium. What did Dmitri Mendeleev’s mother do in order to get her son an education? Although he was not accepted, his mother was determined to give her son a first-class education and they walked to St. Petersburg. Dmitri was accepted into the Institute of Pedagogy on a full scholarship. That same year his mother died and at the age of sixteen, Dmitri was orphaned. How many children were in Dmitri Mendeleev’s family? – Related Questions What was Mendeleev’s first profession?
He got his first teaching position at Simferopol in Crimea. He stayed there only two months and, after a short time at the lyceum of Odessa, decided to go back to St. Petersburg to continue his education. He received a master’s degree in 1856 and began to conduct research in organic chemistry.
Why did Mendeleev not get the Nobel Prize?
Mendeleev still had hope: He was nominated for a Nobel in 1905 and in 1906 but lost because a committee member thought his work was too old and well-known. The next year Mendeleev died, and with him the table’s shot at a Nobel.
Why did Mendeleev leave gaps?
Mendeleev left gaps in his table to place elements not known at the time. For example, Mendeleev predicted the existence of ‘eka-silicon’, which would fit into a gap next to silicon. The element germanium was discovered later.
What was wrong with Mendeleev’s periodic table?
Another problem Mendeleev encountered was that sometimes the next heaviest element in his list did not fit the properties of the next available place on the table. He would skip places on the table, leaving holes, in order to put the element in a group with elements with similar properties.
Can you now say why Mendeleev?
Mendeleev developed a Periodic Table of elements wherein the elements were arranged on the basis of their atomic mass and also on the similarity on chemical properties. On this basis he formulated a Periodic Law, which states that ‘the properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic masses’.
What is Eka Aluminium?
Eka aluminum is the element Gallium. Eka silicon – It is the element Germanium.
What subjects did Mendeleev teach after graduating?
What subjects did Mendeleev teach after graduating? He taught math, chemistry, and physics.
How did Dmitri Mendeleev impact the world?
Dmitri Mendeleev was a Russian chemist who lived from 1834 to 1907. He is considered to be the most important contributor to the development of the periodic table. His version of the periodic table organized elements into rows according to their atomic mass and into columns based on chemical and physical properties.
When was Pyrocollodion invented?
Dmitri Mendeleev discovered Pyrocollodion in 1892 and proposed its use as a replacement for gunpowder in the Russian Navy. This offer was rejected because of cost and efficiency.
What is the single biggest revision Mendeleev made to his table group of answer choices?
They displayed the same chemical properties as argon and helium – and the same regular increase in atomic weights that other chemical families did. “And so Mendeleev makes the single, biggest revision to the system he ever did,” Gordin says. “He puts in a new column. And that is the family of noble gases.”
Did Mendeleev walk to Moscow?
In 1850 Dmitri Mendeleev walked almost a thousand miles to Moscow so he could apply for the University of Moscow. Although he was not accepted, he walked to St.
What was unique about Mendeleev’s system?
One of the unique aspects of Mendeleev’s table was the gaps he left. In these places he not only predicted there were as-yet-undiscovered elements, but he predicted their atomic weights and their characteristics. Chemists had always considered elements to be substances that could not break down into smaller parts.
Why was Paris exciting around 1890 Why was her university exciting?
Paris was a living showcase for science and technology. The university was exciting because it had interesting people.
What was the law of octaves?
Law of octaves, in chemistry, the generalization made by the English chemist J.A.R. Newlands in 1865 that, if the chemical elements are arranged according to increasing atomic weight, those with similar physical and chemical properties occur after each interval of seven elements.
Why did Mendeleev use Sanskrit?
To us, Mendeleev’s remarkable use of the Sanskrit numerals eka-, dvi-, and tri- in naming as yet undiscovered elements makes the most sense as an homage to Pāṇini, not only to his periodic alphabet, but also more generally to his generative, combinatoric approach to language.
Who discovered Eka aluminum?
The existence of gallium had been predicted in 1871 by Dmitri Mendeleev, the Russian chemist who published the first periodic table of the elements. Mendeleev noted a gap in his table and named the missing element “eka-aluminum” because he determined that its location was one place away from aluminum in the table.
Did Einstein win a Nobel Prize?
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1921 was awarded to Albert Einstein “for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.” Albert Einstein received his Nobel Prize one year later, in 1922.
Who just declined the Nobel Peace Prize?
Jean-Paul Sartre declined the Nobel Prize.
Were Mendeleev’s predictions correct?
So convinced was he of the soundness of his periodic law that he left gaps for these elements in his table. Within twenty years, all three had been found, and their properties confirmed his predictions almost exactly.
What did Mendeleev’s periodic law state?
Also called Mendeleev’s law. (originally) the statement that the chemical and physical properties of the elements recur periodically when the elements are arranged in the order of their atomic weights.
Why were Mendeleev’s predictions important?
Mendeleev predicted the atomic mass of each element along with compounds they each should form. Within 15 years of Mendeleev’s predictions, these elements were discovered, and their properties were found to closely match his predictions.

EMBRYO CULTURE: MAKING BABIES IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURYBeth Kohl
(Farrar, Straus and Giroux)
Beth Kohl used to face down pro-lifers at abortion rights rallies and refuse to back politicians who didn’t prioritize a woman’s right to choose. But after being diagnosed with polycystic ovarian disorder, a leading cause of infertility, ten years ago, what she once considered a purely political issue became a lot more personal.
To have children of their own, Kohl, who’s now 39, and her husband, Gary Feinerman, opted for in vitro fertilization. Kohl underwent the process five times, having close to 20 eggs fertilized and three embryos transferred to her womb during each cycle. As a result they have three children: Sophia, seven, and fraternal twins Anna and Lily, five. In her first book, Embryo Culture: Making Babies in the Twenty-First Century, published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in August, Kohl documents the experience, her extensive research into IVF, and how these changed her beliefs.
Kohl, a Winnetka-based freelance writer, was frustrated by what she found when she began looking for info on IVF. “I wish I’d had a regular person’s voice in my head,” she says. “There’s a certain fertility-speak and I found it off-putting.” These days there’s an abundance of blogs and chat rooms devoted to IVF, but some women who frequent them also use a kind of insider language; Kohl says they call their frozen embryos “embies,” give them nicknames like “Frosty,” and generally anthropomorphize them.
Kohl doesn’t display these tendencies but she does admit to developing a strong attachment and sense of responsibility to her fertilized eggs. Embryo Culture grounds her resulting personal dilemmas within the context of the broader moral and legal questions faced by scientists, doctors, and fertility patients. Unlike some European countries, the U.S. has no federal limits on embryo transfers, for example. When Kohl decided how many embryos to transfer per cycle, she weighed her increased chances for conception against the increased risk of high-order multiples (triplets, quadruplets, etc), which would threaten both her own health and the health of her children. (According to a 2002-’05 national study, IVF patients under 35 had an average of 2.5 embryos transferred per cycle, with 33 percent becoming pregnant with twins and 5.8 percent with triplets or more.)
During her third round of IVF, Kohl realized that if each of the three embryos transferred developed in her womb, she wouldn’t necessarily be able to “selectively reduce” one or two—even if her doctor deemed it necessary. She never had to make that decision, but the experience made her reevaluate her beliefs on reproductive rights and abortion. It “taught me how profound this choice is and that what’s at stake extends far beyond exercising one’s rights or minimizing one’s complications,” she writes. Kohl emphasizes that she hasn’t embraced fetal legal rights and still fully supports keeping abortion legal but says the issue is way more nuanced in her mind now: “I have a new respect for the ability of cells to develop into more complex beings—into, well, children.”
Raised in Milwaukee in a conservative Jewish household, Kohl says her faith in a traditional God and the teachings of her religion have also been deeply shaken. During her first couple cycles of IVF, Kohl believed that if a transferred embryo failed to result in a pregnancy it was God’s will. Now she chalks it up to chance: “If it’s a doctor manipulating my system, fetching Gary’s and my genetic material and combining it to produce fertilized eggs, where is God’s hand?”
And while all branches of Judaism permit IVF in theory, Kohl was bothered by the rationale (or lack thereof) for some of the restrictions it places on the process. Her rabbi told her that as the Talmud recognizes motherhood through birth, if a Jewish couple used a non-Jewish surrogate the baby would technically not be Jewish. When she asked him about the ethics of IVF, he deferred to an ancient textbook. “To have a rabbi tell me that Maimonides had a position on this issue,” says Kohl, “this rabbi who lived before any of this even existed—I just said, ‘What are you talking about?'”
Kohl still takes her own daughters to temple to give them a sense of their roots and culture. During a recent reading and Q and A in her hometown, Kohl’s brother, who was there with her mom, raised his hand and asked, “Do you no longer believe in God?” Kohl says now, “I’d be much more comfortable answering that question in front of the pope, but in front of my mom—I don’t want her to think she failed.” She hemmed and hawed and eventually said she wasn’t sure but that she thought it was healthy to question everything. (Her mom was OK with that.)
Kohl had worried that the way her kids were conceived might complicate things when they inevitably questioned where they came from, but so far it hasn’t been a problem—just the opposite, in fact. Several weeks ago seven-year-old Sophia saw a pregnant woman and asked how the baby had got inside her. Given a very basic explanation of sex, the little girl replied, “Really? That’s horrible! Is that what you and Dada did?”
“No,” Kohl told her, “and that’s what the book is about.”
“Oh, that is such a relief!” said Sophia.
“I’m so glad I wrote that book!” Kohl jokes.
A year ago Kohl decided to undergo another round of IVF. She had already started the hormone therapy necessary for the process when her editor called to say it would be terrible timing to have a newborn when the book was published. Kohl temporarily scrapped the idea. Since then her husband has decided he doesn’t want a fourth child and thinks they should donate their seven leftover embryos to science. Kohl, who’s theoretically in favor of stem cell research, is struggling with the idea of donating her potential offspring, “whose destiny I feel compelled and duty bound to fulfill.” For now, her embryos remain frozen.v

Latest Updates CBDT has issued a circular on 9th Sep 21 extending the timelines for certain direct tax compliances for AY 2021-22. Latest Update:
Indian taxes are divided into two types: One is Direct Taxes and other is Indirect Taxes. Talking about direct taxes, it is levied on the income that different types of business entities earn in a financial year. There are different types of taxpayers registered with the Income tax department and they pay taxes at different rates. For eg, An individual and a company being a taxpayer are not taxed at the same rate.
Therefore, Direct Taxes are again subdivided as:
A corporate is an entity that has a separate and independent legal entity from its shareholders. Domestic as well as foreign companies are liable to pay corporate tax under the Income-tax Act. While a domestic company is taxed on its universal income, a foreign company is only taxed on the income earned within India i.e. is being accrued or received in India.
For the purpose of calculation of taxes under Income tax act, the types of companies can be defined as under:
Before understanding the rate of taxes and how the tax will be calculated on income of the companies, we should learn about the types of income which a company earns. Here it is :
Taxes on Income
The following rates are applicable to the
domestic companies for AY 2020-21 based on their turnover:
Sections Tax rate Surcharge Section 115BA (Companies having turnover up to Rs 400 crore in FY 2017-18) 25% 7%/12%* Section 115BAA 22% 10% Section 115BAB 15% 10% Any other case 30% 7%/12%* *Plus surcharge in case a company gets taxed under section 115BA. The rate of surcharge is 7% in case the total income is above one crore rupees and up to Rs 10 crore. The surcharge is 12% in case total income is above Rs 10 crore. However, if a company opts for taxation under section 115BAA or section 115BAB, the surcharge is 10% irrespective of the total income.
The following rates are applicable to foreign companies for AY 2020-21 based on their turnover :
Nature of Income Tax Rate Royalty received or fees for technical services from government or any indian concern under an agreement made before April 1, 1976 and approved by central government 50% Any other income 40% Surcharge rate :
Particulars Tax Rate If total income exceeds Rs. 1 crore but not Rs. 10 Crore 7% of tax calculated on domestic company/ 2 % of tax calculated on foreign company as per above rates If total income exceeds Rs. 10 crore 12% of tax calculated on domestic company/ 5 % of tax calculated on foreign company as per above rates Health & education Cess:Further 4% of income tax calculated and applicable surcharge will be added to the amount of total tax liability before this cess. Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT): Alternatively, all the companies (including foreign companies) are required to pay minimum alternate tax at the rate of 15% on book profits if the tax calculated as per above rates are less than 15% of book profits. This will be applicable if the company does not opt for Section 115BAA or Section 115BAB. Due date for filing Income tax return
Companies including foreign companies have to file their income tax return on or before 30 October every year. Even if the company came into existence during the same financial year, then too, it has to file the income tax return for that period on or before 31 October. For FY 2019-2020 (AY 2020-21), the due date has been extended to 30 November 2020, due to the pandemic.
Tax return forms to be filed by the company
ITR 6 : All the companies except companies claiming deduction under section 11 need to file their return using Form ITR 6. ITR 7 : All the companies registered under section 8 of companies act, 2013 are required to file their return using Form ITR 7.
Tax Audit
Income tax act requires a class of companies to get their accounts audited and submit an audit report to the IT department along with the Income tax return. This audit is known as Tax Audit. This tax audit report is also required to be mandatorily submitted by eligible companies by 30 September. However, for FY 2019-20 (AY 2020-21), the due date for submitting the tax audit report is 31 October 2020.Corporate Tax is an ocean full of provisions which all the companies need to comply with. Keep reading to know what are those provisions, rules that the companies need to follow.

Date Published: 20-Jun-2012
Rape Crisis Network Ireland is calling on the Minister for disablilty to adopt recommendations outlined in a report to be launched in NUI Galway this evening.
14 rape crisis centres, including Galway contributed to the report, to produce the first detailed set of statistics on sexual violence against people with disabilities.
It found that survivors of sexual violence with a disability are more likely to have been subjected to a greater number of incidents compared to those with no disabilities.
Female victims with a disability are also more vulnerable to attack as they age compared with females with no disability, whose vulnerability falls with age.
The report ‘ Sexual Violence against people with disabilities: data collection and barriers to disclosure’ will be launched at NUI Galway this evening.
It coincides with the 4th international Summer school on disability.
Galway ‘Park and Ride’ could become permanent Date Published: 07-May-2013
A park ‘n’ ride scheme from Carnmore into Galway city could become a permanent service if there is public demand.
That’s according to the Chief Executive of Galway Chamber of Commerce, Michael Coyle.
The pilot scheme will begin at 7.20 next Monday morning, May 13th.
Motorists will be able to park cars at the airport carpark in Carnmore and avail of a bus transfer to Forster Street in the city.
Buses will depart every 20 minutes at peak times and every 30 minutes at offpeak times throughout the day, at a cost of 2 euro per journey.
Tuam awaits UK hay import as overnight rainfall adds to fodder crisis Date Published: 09-May-2013
Tuam is now awaiting a third import of hay from the UK as overnight rainfall has increased pressure on farmers struggling to source fodder.
A total of ten loads are expected at Connacht Gold stores throughout the West with a load expected at the Airglooney outlet this evening or tomorrow.
Farmers throughout the county have been struggling to cope with the animal feed shortage and a below than normal grass growth due to unseasonal weather conditions.
Overnight rainfall in the Galway area has also added to the problem making ground conditions in many areas are quite poor.
Joe Waldron, Agricultual Advisor with Connacht Gold says farmers in short supply can contact the Airglooney outlet on 093 – 24101.
Transport Minister urges end to Bus Eireann strike action Date Published: 12-May-2013
The Transport Minister is urging drivers at Bus Éireann to engage in talks with management, in an effort to bring their strike action to an end.
There were no Bus Éireann services operating out of Galway today as a result of nationwide strike action by staff affiliated with the national bus and rail union.
Up to 20 Bus Éireann drivers are continuing to picket outside the bus depot at the docks in the city this evening.
Drivers from other unions have decided not to cross the picket line and go into work today – causing the disruption to be even worse.
Bus drivers are protesting against five million euro worth of cuts to their overtime and premium pay – cuts which Bus Eireann says are vital to ensure the future viability of the company.
The majority of services nationwide are disrupted, and the union say strike action will continue until management are willing to go back into negotiations.
However, it’s not expected to affect school services next week.
Galway bay fm news understands that around 70 percent, or over 100 Galway bus Eireann drivers are affiliated with the NBRU.

Online, a massive amount of behavior between peers exists that can be listened to used to inform business decisions. One can uncover such key findings among target audiences using a social listening technique called digital ethnography. Digital ethnography reveals actionable insights that can tell marketers why audiences engage in certain behaviors, how they communicate about a brand in different communities and what triggers their buying decisions – all within a competitive context. This social media research technique is applied and compiled exclusively through digital channels and without audience engagement, thus preserving the authenticity of the data.
Students will experience not only the theory behind digital ethnography but also work in lab, group, and independent projects to apply this new skill in real time online environments for brands and their audiences. Students will learn the importance of social listening in a variety of applications, from foundational market research, targeting, messaging, product development, B2C and B2B contexts.
Learning Objectives:
Provide basic training in ethnographic qualitative research methods and a foundation in the skillsets and techniques needed for conducting ethnographic research
Examine the variety of behaviors and how they differ based on environment
To consider various applications of digital ethnography
Improve and add to writing skills to develop accurate, rich descriptions of observed behavior
To think critically about the markets to which ethnographic research can be applied

People who have muscle wasting or testosterone production disorders can take these hormone supplements for their condition if prescribed by a healthcare provider.
However, some athletes and bodybuilders illegally use these steroids to boost muscle mass or performance.

Anyone attempting to reach their goal weight often finds himself at a point that they struggle. No one is immune to this possible issue, which is why the supplement industry has come out with so many products that purport to help.
There are ways to reduce the appetite to prevent an excessive amount of calorie consumption, and there are formulas that provide the user with more energy to get through workouts and the rest of the day.
Others curb the cravings that users have for sugary or otherwise unhealthy foods. The options are endless.
While it can feel empowering to have so many choices, it can also be overwhelming for individuals that find that they struggle with multiple areas of their weight loss.
Some people have multiple reasons that they need to shed weight, making it difficult for them to select just one product They need formulas that work for multiple purposes, and that is what PhenQ aims to offer.about:blank
The company claims over 190,000 men and women have found their own solution for weight loss in this supplement.
The brand has only been around for a few years, but no one can ignore the incredible weight loss benefits that it provides.
The creators behind this product wanted to ensure that users are able to get a level of weight loss simply not offered by other products.
It increases the amount of stored fat used by the body, but it also reduces how active the appetite is to prevent overeating.
As these two processes work, users will also notice that their body’s ability to produce new fat is impeded, and they generally improve their mood and energy levels.
This remedy is developed in approved facilities by the GMP and FDA, located in the United States and the United Kingdom. All products ship free, and users are provided with a month’s supply.
By combining functions of other weight loss supplements into two servings a day, consumers don’t have to worry about the complicated process of weight loss.
What are legal steroids?
Legal Steroids are health supplements that produce results similar to that achieved by using anabolic steroids. The term ‘legal’ is added to emphasize that even tested athletes and sportsmen can use this without risking their careers.
That’s because these supplements do not contain any banned performance enhancing ingredient.
There are no prohormones, no designer drugs, no selective androgenic receptor modulators, no androgens in any form, no precursors to androgens, no hormone modulators and no chemical enhancers.
Legal steroids mostly contain botanical extracts that are handpicked and blended with vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
The first reaction that a lot of skeptics have, is how on earth can vitamins produce steroids like results?
There are two things that you should be aware of.
Vitamins and Minerals have been researched for decades for their activity in muscle hypertrophy, nutrient delivery and protein synthesis. But their roles are not limited to this.
They also play critical roles in cognitive performance, hormonal stability, lipolysis and cerebral blood flow. Statistics reveal that almost 73% of the population might be deficit in Zinc, a mineral that can affect your testosterone levels.
Given our sedentary lifestyles and indoor jobs, a large percentage of the population is deficient in Vitamin D, another key vitamin that’s connected to optimal hormone levels.
The question is, can’t you just take a multivitamin instead? Sure, you can. But it will not produce the same results.
Legal Steroids vs. Anabolic Steroids
One question that a lot of athletes want to ask, is what’s the difference in the best legal steroids and anabolic steroids?
We all know that legal steroids are natural and safe. But what about the other aspects? Here’s a detailed comparison of the two on all aspects linked to exercise and performance that you might want to know about.
Through the years, I’ve found that eating a nutrient-dense diet composed primarily of whole foods makes me feel my best and controls my Hashimoto’s-related symptoms.
Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid. You can learn more about diet and lifestyle changes that help manage Hashimoto’s symptoms in this article.
Nutrient-dense foods — the ones I focus on in my diet — are those that are high in nutrients like vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, and healthy fats. They include fruits, vegetables, seeds, chicken, fish, beans, and nuts.
I have also followed a primarily gluten-free and grain-free diet since being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, although I eat small amounts of gluten-free grains like quinoa and brown rice.
This diet works for me and absolutely makes a difference in my Hashimoto’s symptoms.
Moreover, I care deeply about eating as sustainably as possible and am lucky to be able to grow my own food, keep chickens, and live in an area with an abundance of farms.

These practices not only allow me to feel good about what I’m putting into my body but also make a big difference in my environmental impact.
Eating locally and seasonally has been linked to a number of health and environmental benefits, and I encourage you to support local farms whenever possible or try out growing your own food (1Trusted Source, 2Trusted Source).
What’s more, a nutrient-dense diet high in local, sustainably sourced foods makes life easier for me and my husband when it comes to mealtime. Even though some people may think eating in this manner involves hours in the kitchen, it doesn’t.
Meals can be as simple as a brown rice bowl with veggies and chicken or a sweet potato stuffed with veggies, beans, and eggs.

1 Introduction
The field of adaptive data analysis is motivated by the common practice in machine learning of
data reuse. The potential problems with this were perhaps first illustrated by Freedman in 1983 [6]
, who showed that using the same data to select regressors and subsequently fit a general linear model to those regressors would lead to wildly inaccurate estimates of the goodness of fit, at least when the number of regressors and data points were on the same order of magnitude.
The simplest solution to such problems is to collect a fresh set of data each time the overall model is updated, an approach known as
sample splitting. But in many scenarios, this is a rather expensive solution, especially for data practices that utilize multiple such adaptive rounds. Stated quantitatively, this requires a sample complexity that scales linearly with the number of measurements of the data.
The aim of adaptive data analysis, as introduced by Dwork, Feldman, Hardt, Pitassi, Reignold and Roth [4] is to reduce this dependence while preserving standard statistical guarantees by introducing a protective layer of interaction between the analyst and the data. To describe this challenge in a mathematical framework, they introduced a two-player game between an analyst and a curator.
In the original model, the analyst is seeking to answer some number of
statistical queries about a distribution on a universe , which are expressed as the averages of bounded functions of the data. For instance, if
, this is asking the curator to estimate a probability, known as a
counting query. The curator receives independent samples from and is seeking to answer every query to within an additive error on the population the data is drawn from, with probability . The central question is how many samples the curator requires to achieve this accuracy.
If the queries are specified in one batch in advance of the analyst receiving the answers, this is known as static data analysis, and samples are both necessary (on certain problems) and sufficient. In this case, the curator can simply answer with the empirical means of the functions: , where are the data points he receives. The full framework of adaptive data analysis, where later queries are allowed to depend on previous answers, is much less well-understood and the subject of this line of investigation.
As we previously argued in [5], though, the hardest problems introduced in this framework tend not to reflect the reality it is attempting to model. In fact, since the analyst is taken to be adversarial and worst-case, we could suppose that the analyst already knows the distribution ! To avoid such scenarios and hopefully better match reality, we introduced a Bayesian variant of the problem, where we enforce that the curator and analyst have the same information via a common accurate Bayesian prior on .
The first question, which we addressed in [5], is what sorts of adaptive analyst strategies could cause problems for the curator without utilizing side information. The main result in that work was a problem on which a large class of curator algorithms would fail. This problem had two components: A difficult problem based on error-correcting codes that would produce high posterior uncertainty in some direction and an augmentation technique to allow the analyst to extract information from these curator algorithms using slightly correlated queries.
Quantitatively, as previously discussed, sample splitting methods can trivially achieve a linear dependence: . The original dimension-free work of DFHPRR improved this to , but this is far short of the static bound cited above, . In [5], we ultimately demonstrated a high-dimensional problem on which a large class of curator algorithms require about .
In this paper, we demonstrate the first positive results in Bayesian adaptive data analysis. In particular, we show that if the common prior is a Dirichlet distribution, the most natural Bayesian curator algorithm, the posterior mean, achieves the same level of accuracy against adaptive queries as static queries: .
This positive result is also rather different than previous positive claims. All previously proposed techniques in this area, from the differential privacy-based techniques introduced in DFHPRR [4], to follow-up work restricting to the special case of a machine learning competition leaderboard by Blum and Hardt [1], to the wide class of techniques analyzed in [5], focus on attempting to obfuscate the answers in order to prevent the analyst from overfitting to the data. By contrast, we show in this paper that under a Dirichlet prior, the curator can achieve the static guarantee even without any obfuscation!
To prove such a result, the curator must be confident in answers to any possible query. Our main tool for proving such confidence will be the probabilistic notion of subgaussianity. In section 2, we recall the definition and key properties of this strong notion of concentration. We then prove the main technical result in section 3 in two ways, showing that the distribution is
-subgaussian. The first method consists of bounding the moment generating function in terms of the raw moments of the distribution, which are easy to compute. The second method is simpler and stronger, but more mysteriously requires one to consider the beta distribution as a Bayesian posterior. In section4, we show how this implies that the curator is correct on all queries given a Dirichlet prior.
We then discuss extensions of these main results in section 5
. We first generalize the probabilistic approach on the beta distribution to a simple condition for (upper) subgaussianity on the raw moments of a nonnegative random variable. We also discuss several other conjugate priors, where empirical evidence suggests that the corresponding results are true. Then we consider the second learning-theoretic approach, and show that a series of simple conditions on the posterior mean evolution suffice, which helps to explain what makes the Dirichlet prior this friendly to adaptivity. Finally, in section6, we survey the implications for adaptive data analysis and offer directions for future work.
2 Subgaussianity and Query Accuracy
A random variable with zero mean is said to be
-subgaussian if for all , . Here, is also known as the variance proxy. Following the seminal work on subgaussian random variables [3], define . Recall the following:Some basic facts about subgaussian random variables.
As the name suggests, the variance gives a lower bound on the subgaussian variance proxy: . If the two are equal, is said to be
strictly subgaussian.
(See [3] Theorem 1.2) The space of subgaussian random variables is a Banach space with respect to the norm . That is, it has the right scaling, for all , satisfies the triangle inequality and is complete on the space of subgaussian random variables.
If , we will abuse notation slightly and write . That is, we will consider random variables with nonzero mean to be -subgaussian if their centered versions are. Note that in this context, conditions like in Proposition 2.3 apply to the centered moments .
Now, let us return to the Bayesian adaptive data analysis problem and consider a single query for a moment, setting . In this case, the static bound states that samples are sufficient for estimation of to additive error , with probability . We will show that for this particular relationship between and , this follows from a subgaussianity property on the posterior.
If the curator’s posterior distribution is -subgaussian with respect to every query, then the posterior mean-answering curator answers correctly and achieves the static sample complexity of . Before proving the proposition, let us explicate this condition. Each query projects every possible population to a value . Therefore, projects every possible posterior distribution on populations to a distribution on . The assumption is that this projected distribution of the curator’s posterior is -subgaussian.
The claim is that as long as this condition holds, the curator doesn’t care what queries the analyst asks; the posterior mean will be accurate on all of them. Indeed, the curator could actually release the entire posterior mean (not just its value on every query), giving the analyst everything she will ever learn from his answers. If we can show that the probability of error on any query is less than , then a union bound will give a total error probability at most , no matter which queries are asked.
Proof.
Suppose the curator’s posterior distribution with respect to a given query is -subgaussian. Equivalently stated, suppose the error of the posterior mean is a (centered) -subgaussian random variable. By Markov’s inequality, setting ,
We can also prove an identical bound for , and therefore, the error probability satisfies
Taking , we have shown the required bound.∎
This is rather remarkable; it says that the curator can do just as well against adaptive queries as against static queries if his posterior has this concentration property. Of course, such a concentration property will not hold in every case; for instance, it is far from true for the posteriors in the series of examples considered in [5]. But in cases where it does hold, like the Dirichlet prior and posterior we will investigate shortly, the curator doesn’t have to do any obfuscation.
As an added bonus, the subgaussian framework also simplifies the set of queries we must consider:If the curator’s posterior distribution is -subgaussian with respect to every
counting query, then the posterior mean curator answers correctly and achieves the static sample complexity of . Proof.
The key here is Proposition 2.2. Since is a norm, convex combinations of -subgaussian random variables will also be -subgaussian:
Recall that counting queries only have values or , and therefore form the vertices in the hypercube of possible queries . All other queries are convex combinations of these
1 11If is infinite, then some queries might not be convex combinations of finitely many counting queries, but we can find a sequence of finite convex combinations converging to them in -norm simply by picking more possible values for the function in at each step. This will converge in -norm, so the completeness of from Proposition 2.2 shows that they must also have the same bound on their subgaussian norm., and therefore will be -subgaussian as well (with no loss in the constant). Therefore, by Proposition 2, the posterior mean curator wins on all statistical queries if he wins on counting queries.∎ 3 Beta Priors on Bernoulli Trials
The first posterior distribution we will investigate is the ubiquitous Beta distribution. We will see in the next section that this distribution is also the projection of the Dirichlet distribution on any counting query.
The
beta distribution is a continuous distribution on with density
where is the gamma function, satisfying for . The fraction in the density formula above is simply a normalization constant. Notice that for
, this is the uniform distribution on. For , this converges to the Rademacher 0-1 random variable, . Finally, the (raw) moments of the beta distribution are given by
(1)
where is a
rising factorial. In particular, the mean and variance are given by
To see the beta distribution as a posterior, consider a Bernoulli trial, a single event with two possible outcomes: success or failure. If our prior over the probability of success is given by , then upon receiving successes and failures, a Bayesian update yields a posterior proportional to
so after renormalizing, it must be the distribution. This is what is meant by calling the family of beta distributions a
conjugate prior: If the prior is a beta distribution, the posterior will be as well.
Surprisingly, despite substantial focus including the entire
Handbook of Beta Distribution and its Applications [7], the following concentration result does not appear to be known:The beta distribution is -subgaussian.Numerical data suggests that
That is, appears to be maximized for fixed when , where it appears to be strictly subgaussian. Since the variance is a lower bound for (Proposition 2.1), we conclude that Theorem 3 is tight up to a factor of , seen as a function of . However, numerical data is very clear that the lower bound is tight: The beta distribution is -subgaussian. Before proving Theorem 3
, let’s see what this concentration result means for a nearly trivial case of Bayesian adaptive data analysis. If the prior on the parameter of a Bernoulli distribution is given byfor any , the posterior mean curator strategy wins.
Proof.
If the prior is , the posterior is with .
With a Bernoulli trial, there are two nontrivial counting queries, the probabilities of success and failure, or and . The latter is an affine function of , so by Propositions 2.2 and 2 it suffices to show that is -subgaussian.
Thus, we see that as a conjugate family, the beta distributions have an interesting property: Only some beta distributions can be posteriors after observing and updating on data points. All such posteriors have , and Theorem 3 says that they must concentrate to the degree we require.
3.1 Probabilistic Proof
We will provide two very different proofs of results like Theorem 3. We’ll start with the probabilistic result, which actually can only produce a weaker constant: The beta distribution is -subgaussian.
Proof.
Notice that technically, this is a claim about the centered beta distribution, or . However, we do not prove this claim from the centered moments, but from the raw moments themselves. That is, rather than proving
by expanding termwise in , we move the mean term to the other side and show
(2)
by expanding termwise in . The coefficients of the left side are the raw moments given in (1). To bound the terms in this expansion, we will need the following technical lemma: For any nonnegative integer and ,
Before proving this lemma, let us see how it implies Theorem 3. First, we consider the even terms:
In going from the first to the second line, we have replaced the pairs of consecutive terms by applying Lemma 3.1. From the second to the third, we have expanded the product and grouped terms, upper bounding the sum of all products of of the right fractions by times the largest of them. From the third to the fourth lines, we have expanded and doubled the terms in the numerator to interleave with the odd terms, adding an extra factor of 2 to the fraction raised to the power.
The odd terms are similar, except we pair the terms up in the moment starting from the second.
The only other major difference is that between the third and fourth lines, we also replaced the numerators of with the corresponding larger values of . Therefore, for , we have shown that all of the terms of the left side of (2) are bounded by the corresponding terms of the right side.
To prove (2) for , we utilize the symmetry of the beta distribution: . Therefore, we’ve in fact also shown that for ,
Dividing both sides by , we immediately get
so the desired bound holds for as well. We are done, apart from proving the technical lemma.∎
Proof of Lemma 3.1.
We induct on , starting with two base cases: and . For , we have
where we used the AM-GM inequality . Now, if , we have
as desired. For the inductive step, take . Then
where we applied the inductive hypothesis to get the last line.∎
Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear possible to squeeze an additional factor of 2 out of this method. In fact, (2) is not true termwise if we replace the denominator with .
2 22For a concrete example, when and , the terms have coefficients of , respectively, the opposite direction as needed to prove (2). However, the coefficients of and correct for this term, and is still -subgaussian. Therefore any proof of Conjecture 3 will have to use a different method. 3.2 Learning-Theoretic Proof
Quite surprisingly, we can get a simpler and stronger result by considering the beta distribution as a Bayesian posterior. The key is Azuma’s Inequality: [Azuma’s Inequality (c.f. [9] Lemma 3.7)]Let be a martingale adapted to the filtration such that for all , is -subgaussian. Then is -subgaussian.
Proof of Theorem 3.
The martingale we will construct is surprisingly related to our problem: Let be the prior over the parameter of a Bernoulli random variable, let be the updated information upon receiving samples from the random variable, and let be the resulting posterior mean. Then as , approaches the true parameter of the random variable almost surely, so approaches the error of the original posterior mean.
Moreover, it is fairly elementary to check that is a martingale with the appropriate subgaussian variance proxy. Suppose that the posterior after the first data points is , where of course . Then the posterior mean . Conditioning on the samples the curator has seen so far, the next sample will be a success with probability and a failure with probability . That is:
This difference is clearly mean-zero, so is indeed a martingale. As a centered binary random variable, by Theorem 3.1 in [2], the subgaussian variance proxy of is given by
In particular (Lemma 2.1 in [2]), for all , so is -subgaussian.
Therefore, by Azuma’s inequality, is subgaussian with variance proxy
as desired.
3 33The final steps of this analysis are also tight; .∎
Impressively, this method is able to prove a strictly stronger result than the probabilistic approach, matching the correct coefficient on for the symmetric case.
4 Dirichlet Priors on Categorical Random Variables
Of course, the example considered in Corollary 3 is a nearly trivial example of Bayesian adaptive data analysis: There is (essentially) only one possible query, making adaptivity meaningless. However, the result fortunately generalizes to a much more useful framework: Dirichlet priors on categorical random variables.
Recall that a categorical random variable has support for some positive integer , and probabilities for each value. corresponds to a Bernoulli trial again, but if
, there are many possible queries, each corresponding to a vectorand asking for the dot product .
The conjugate prior for the categorical random variable is the Dirichlet distribution
, the natural generalization of the beta distribution. Its probability density function is given by
Therefore, upon receiving data with counts of category , the posterior is given by , making the Dirichlet distribution a conjugate prior for the categorical distribution.
In the direction of any query vector , the Dirichlet distribution is -subgaussian. In exactly the same way, this guarantees accuracy of the posterior mean: If the prior on the parameter of a categorical random variable is for any , the posterior mean curator strategy wins.
Proof of Theorem 4.
By Proposition 2, it suffices to check this for counting queries, or . We will show that the distribution of the Dirichlet prior with respect to such queries is merely a beta distribution,
4 44This fact might be well-known, but it also isn’t hard to prove. It’s at least well-known that the marginals in each category are beta distributions, but those only cover the case where only one . and apply Theorem 3.
By relabeling coordinates, we can suppose that and for some (if all or all the dot product is always or respectively). We first transform the simplex of possible in a fairly common way by considering the partial sums . Then the simplex is given by
In this notation, corresponds to . The probability density of at is therefore proportional to the -dimensional volume with respect to the Dirichlet distribution of this slice, or
where we have substituted for and for . Pulling out the factors of and , the remainder no longer depends on . After normalizing, this is exactly the distribution. Therefore, by Theorem 3, this distribution is -subgaussian, as desired.∎
5 Discussion
These results can be extended in multiple directions. First, we examine the core technique, and then we examine other potential conjugate priors.
5.1 Subgaussianity from Raw Moments
The proof technique used in Theorem 3 is perhaps the most generally useful contribution of this paper. Most proofs that a random variable is subgaussian involve showing a bound on its centered moments like in Proposition 2.3. However, this result only used the
raw moments. In fact, this is all we need:If is a random variable with positive raw moments satisfying
(3)
for every nonnegative integer , then for all , . Note that for , this condition says that .
Proof.
We simply mimic the proof of Theorem 3. Since all moments are positive, we can apply the assumed inequality to each term of a telescoping product:
The odd terms are also the same:
Summing all of the terms, which are positive since , therefore yields the desired inequality.∎
For ease of discussion, this definition will be helpful:A random variable is -
upper subgaussian if for all ,

1 Introduction
PDE-constrained optimization is a subject area which has attracted significant interest in recent years (see [19, 45] for a comprehensive overview of the field). Due the complex structure and high dimensionality of these problems when an accurate discrete solution is sought, preconditioned iterative solvers have been employed for the ‘all-at-once’ resolution of such formulations, see for example [37, 39] for early work in this direction. In this paper, we consider fast and robust preconditioned solvers for matrix systems arising from the
optimize-then-discretize approach applied to time-dependent PDE-constrained optimization problems. We examine the optimal control of the heat equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions, to allow benchmarking of our method against a widely-applied preconditioned iterative method for its solution, and time-dependent convection–diffusion control problems.
When preconditioners are sought for certain time-dependent problems, it is typical to apply a (first-order accurate) backward Euler method in time, as this leads to particularly convenient structures within the matrix and facilitates effective preconditioning; see [33] for a mesh- and -robust preconditioner for the heat control problem, and [9, 32, 42, 44, 47] for applications to different problems. However, the required discretization strategy results in slower convergence in time than space: if a method is second-order accurate in space, it is reasonable to choose , where is the time step and is the mesh-size in space. This results in a matrix system of huge dimension, and hence a high CPU time is required for its solution. The question we wish to investigate here is whether applying a higher-order Crank–Nicolson method in time is beneficial, due to the reduced dimension of the matrix system required to obtain a similar discretization error. The challenge here is that the much more complex structure of the resulting matrix system makes preconditioning a highly non-trivial task, so a more sophisticated numerical method and preconditioning strategy need to be devised to achieve fast and robust convergence of the iterative solver.
The remainder of this article is structured as follows. In Section 2 we introduce the problems we consider, that is time-dependent convection–diffusion control and heat control, and outline the matrices arising upon discretization of such problems as well as a stabilization technique used for convection–diffusion control problems. In Section 3 we describe the matrix systems obtained upon discretization of the first-order optimality conditions, and in particular demonstrate a suitable transformation which allows symmetrization of the matrix system obtained from the Crank–Nicolson method. This enables us to apply a symmetric iterative solver such as MINRES [30], which is highly desirable from the perspective of proving convergence of the iterative method. In Section 4 we derive our proposed new preconditioner, using saddle-point theory along with suitable approximations of the -block and Schur complement, and provide eigenvalue results for the preconditioned matrix system. In Section 5 we benchmark our method against the widely-used backward Euler method, coupled with the preconditioner derived in [33], and demonstrate our new preconditioner’s efficiency and robustness with respect to all parameters involved in the convection–diffusion control problem.
2 Problem Formulation
In this article we consider the fast and robust numerical solution of time-dependent PDE-constrained optimization problems. In particular, we examine distributed convection–diffusion control problems of the form:
(1)
subject to
(2)
where the variables , , and are the
state, desired state, and control variables, respectively, is a regularization parameter, is the diffusion coefficient, and
is a divergence-free wind vector (i.e.,). The problem is solved on a spatial domain , , with boundary , , up to a final time , that is . Here represents the normal derivative of on . The functions , and are known.
In (2), the term denotes the diffusive element, and the term represents convection. In physical (real-world) problems, as pointed out for example in [10], convection typically plays a more significant physical role than diffusion, so for many practical problems. However this in turn makes the problem more difficult to solve [10, 36] as the solution procedure will need to be robust with respect to the direction of the wind and any boundary or internal layers that form. The presence of boundary or internal layers is also an issue that we have to deal with when discretizing the convection–diffusion differential operator. Indeed, when solving a convection–diffusion problem, a stabilization procedure is often utilized in order to ‘capture’ all the layers.
Though we will test our solver on the convection–diffusion control problem (1)–(2), a particular case of interest arises when , , and , giving the following heat control problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions:
(3) s.t. (4)
This problem provides a valuable benchmark of our method against widely-used preconditioned iterative solution with a backward Euler method in time [33]. We note that our method can be readily generalized to heat control problems with Neumann and mixed boundary conditions.
2.1 Discretization matrices and stabilization
To illustrate the matrices involved in the finite element discretizations of optimal control problems, consider a standard Galerkin finite element discretization for the (steady-state) convection–diffusion problem:
(5)
Letting be the same finite element basis functions for and , then we would like to find approximations , . Letting the vectors , , a discretized version of (5) is
where (excluding the effect of boundary conditions):
and the matrix denotes a possible stabilization matrix for the convection operator. For a heat control problem of the form (4), , and . We note that is generally referred to as a
stiffness matrix, and is symmetric positive semi-definite (positive definite unless ), and is referred to as a mass matrix, which is symmetric positive definite. The matrix
is skew-symmetric (meaning) in the case of Dirichlet problems; otherwise we obtain that
(6)
using Green’s theorem. In this latter case the spectral properties of the matrix , which can be indefinite, will be useful for our subsequent analysis. We note that , where denotes the angle between the wind and the (outer) unit normal vector on the boundary , so setting , we have that
(7)
Defining the matrix
we may then write
for any , where we set and use (7). Therefore,
(8)
where the notation means is positive semi-definite. Hence, any negative eigenvalues of are dominated by a constant factor of those of the mass matrix related to the basis functions on . This observation will be useful when discussing our approach for problems with Neumann or mixed boundary conditions.
Concerning the stabilization scheme used for solving the forward convection–diffusion problem, a popular stabilized finite element method is the Streamline Upwind Petrov–Galerkin (SUPG) method [20]. However, as pointed out in [8, 16], applying this scheme to the (steady-state) control problem gives rise to extra difficulties. Specifically, applying the scheme to the control problem with the discretize-then-optimize strategy leads to symmetric discrete equations in which the discrete adjoint problem is not a consistent discretization of the continuous adjoint problem, whereas the optimize-then-discretize approach gives rise to a different, non-symmetric discretized system which therefore does not possess the structure of a discrete optimization problem. In this work, we thus employ the adjoint-consistent Local Projection Stabilization (LPS) approach described in [4, 5, 6, 34], for which the discretization and optimization steps commute in the stationary case. Further, this stabilized finite elements leads to an order of convergence of for the -error [5], which is optimal on general quasi-uniform meshes for the forward problem, see e.g., [49]. In the LPS formulation, the stabilization matrix is defined as
(9)
Here, denotes a stabilization parameter, and is an orthogonal projection operator. From (9), the matrix can be viewed as a shifted discrete diffusion operator associated with the streamline direction defined by . It is symmetric and positive semi-definite, as shown by following the working in [10, p. 17]: letting , and setting , , , we have
where we have used that .
For the convergence of the method, we require to be an -orthogonal (discontinuous) projection operator defined on patches of the domain that satisfies the approximation and stability properties specified in [5], where by a patch we mean the union of elements of our finite element discretization; the projection operator is left free to be discontinuous on the edges of the patches. In our implementation we will make use of elements, so the domain is divided into patches consisting of 2 elements in each dimension. To ensure the aforementioned properties are satisfied, as in [4] we define as
where is the restriction of to the patch , and is the (Lebesgue) measure of the patch. We refer again to [5] for the theoretical proof of the convergence of this method with this definition of the local projection operator. As in [10, p. 253], we choose locally on each patch as , with
where is the -norm of the wind at the patch centroid, is a measure of the patch length in the direction of the wind, and is the patch Péclet number.
We observe that, with this (non-constant) choice of , the matrix is still positive semi-definite. To prove this, it is sufficient to define and locally on each patch and then proceed as above, obtaining
The spectral properties of the matrices , , and (whether Dirichlet, Neumann or mixed boundary conditions are imposed) will be useful later, when discussing the optimality of our preconditioning approach.
Informed by the definitions of this section, we make the following assumption when carrying out the theoretical analysis in the remainder of this paper, and later discuss how our methodology could be applied if the assumption is relaxed:
Assumption 1
When a convection-diffusion control problem is being solved we assume is such that on . We allow heat control problems to satisfy any boundary conditions of the form (2), and for convection–diffusion control we remove this restriction on the wind for a pure Dirichlet problem (i.e., ).
3 First-Order Optimality Conditions and Discretizations in Time
We now describe the strategy used for obtaining an approximate solution of (1)–(2). We apply an all-at-once approach coupled with the optimize-then-discretize scheme, in which the continuous Lagrangian is used to arrive at first-order optimality conditions, which are then discretized. For simplicity the working of this section considers Dirichlet boundary conditions, that is , but it may be readily extended to problems where . Introducing the
adjoint variable (or Lagrange multiplier) , we consider the Lagrangian associated to (1)–(2) as in [5]. Then, by deriving the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) conditions, the solution of (1)–(2) satisfies:
(10)
where we have substituted the gradient equation into the state equation.
Problem (10) is a coupled system of (time-dependent) PDEs, consisting of a forward PDE combined with a backward problem for the adjoint. Due to this structure, when trying to find numerical approximation of the solution, an A–stable method is usually applied for discretizing the time derivative, since this will allow the user to choose a time step that is independent of the spatial mesh-size. Further, in order to obtain a consistent system of linear equations, both functions and are approximated at the same time points.
We now introduce methods for approximating the time derivative when solving (10), and describe the resulting matrix systems, starting with the widely-used backward Euler method in Section 3.1, followed by the Crank–Nicolson method in Section 3.2. For the remainder of the paper, we discretize the interval into subintervals of length , and we use the notation , for our approximations for all , with .
3.1 Backward Euler discretization
Many widely-used preconditioned iterative methods for the solution of time-dependent PDE-constrained optimization problems of type (1)–(2) involve a backward Euler discretization for the time variable [9, 32, 33, 42, 44, 47]. Applying this scheme gives the following system of equations
1 11Note that the matrix arises in the discretization due to the skew-symmetry of , which holds as Assumption 1 is trivially satisfied for Dirichlet problems.:
where , is the discretization of the initial condition for , and
(11)
With this notation, we obtain the following (symmetric) linear system:
(12)
where
and the right-hand side vectors and take into account the initial and final-time conditions on and , as well as information from the desired state and the force function . Note that we have symmetrized the system by replacing the discretized initial and final-time conditions with
The structure of the previous system is very convenient from the point of view of numerical linear algebra because it facilitates effective preconditioning.
3.2 Crank–Nicolson discretization and symmetrization of the system
Despite the convenient structure of the matrix system arising from the backward Euler method, the essential drawback is that the method is only first-order accurate in time. For instance, if a second-order accurate method is used for the spatial discretization, the numerical error is of order , given sufficient smoothness properties of the solution. Therefore, it is reasonable to choose , resulting in a matrix system of huge dimension, and hence an extremely high CPU time is required for its solution. In recent years, a significant effort has been invested in improving the accuracy of the discretized solution of time dependent PDE-constrained optimization problems involving the backward Euler method: see [14] for an application of deferred correction to time-dependent PDE-constrained optimization problems, [9, 41, 42, 43]
for low-rank tensor approaches to speed up the convergence of backward Euler,[17] for a multigrid technique applied to optimal flow control problems, and [48] for a preconditioned iterative solver for problem of the type (3)–(4) that uses a reduction in dimensionality of the arising system.
We also highlight recent works in which higher-order time discretizations are considered. For example, in [13] the authors derive a parallel-in-time algorithm coupled with a gradient-based method, using a Lobatto IIIA scheme in the time variable, and in [9] the authors note that their low-rank method can also be adopted to the Crank–Nicolson approach. Other valuable approaches for addressing time-dependent PDE-constrained optimization problems include multiple shooting methods [15], parareal schemes [23, 24], and ideas from instantaneous control [7, 18]. However, to the best of our knowledge, the crucial question of preconditioning PDE-constrained optimization methods by exploiting the precise matrix structures arising from higher-order discretization schemes in time has not been resolved, perhaps due to the increased complexity in the structure of the matrix systems, an issue pointed out in [17] for instance.
Remark 1
We note here that both backward Euler and Crank–Nicolson are unconditionally A–stable, that is, no restriction on and is required. There are often other stability properties to consider when selecting an appropriate time-stepping scheme: for instance Crank–Nicolson, as opposed to backward Euler, is not L–stable, which is an important consideration when applying long-range integrations. In this work, we do not address specific questions about stability properties of the two methods, but rather whether it is possible in principal to take advantage of a higher-order discretization scheme in the time variable for increasing the rate of convergence of solvers for the optimal control of time-dependent PDEs. It is likely that our proposed method could be extended to time-stepping methods that achieve even faster convergence than Crank–Nicolson, including L–stable methods. We highlight the reference [2], which considers the question of preconditioning matrix systems arising from L–stable methods for forward evolutionary PDEs.
Remark 2
We note that, in order for Crank–Nicolson to achieve a second-order convergence rate, we require the state and the adjoint variable in (10) to have sufficient smoothness. Therefore, in the following analysis, we allow the assumptions of regularity and the results in [1, Sec. 3] to hold for the problem considered.
Considering again (10), we now discretize the time derivative using the Crank–Nicolson method. Denoting
we have that the numerical solution of (10) satisfies
with and an appropriate discretization of the final and initial conditions on and , and defined as in (11). In matrix form, we write
(13)
where the vectors and are the numerical solution for the state and adjoint variables, and as before the right-hand side accounts for the initial and final-time conditions on and , as well as the desired state and force function . The matrices , , are given by
We immediately realize that the matrices and are not symmetric, and therefore no iterative method for symmetric matrices, such as MINRES, may be applied to (13). We therefore wish to apply a transformation to (13) to convert it to a symmetric system. We partition the matrix in (13) as
Then if we eliminate the initial and final-time conditions on and , we can rewrite
with the vectors , , , modified accordingly, and the matrices , , given by
(14)
In order to symmetrize the system, we now apply the following linear transformation:
(15)
where , and
denotes the identity matrix. Then,
(16)
where
Furthermore, it holds that
We have thus transformed (13) to a symmetric system using matrices , which are easy and cheap to apply and invert. We also highlight the further properties that
(17)
where
(18)
so we may work with the matrices and cheaply, using , , , . Further, since both and are symmetric positive definite, the same holds for and .
4 Preconditioning Approach
In this section we describe an optimal preconditoner for the system (16), by making use of saddle-point theory as well as suitable approximations for the blocks of the matrix .
4.1 Saddle-point systems
We know that if we wish to solve an invertible system of the form (16), with invertible , a good candidate for a preconditioner is the block diagonal matrix:
(19)
In these cases, a preconditioned Krylov subspace method for symmetric indefinite matrices with preconditioner (19) would converge in few iterations (at most 3 if ). We further observe that, if and are symmetric positive definite, the preconditioner also has that property, so a natural choice of iterative solver is the MINRES algorithm. Of course, as in (19) the preconditioner is not practical, as the exact inverses of and will need to be applied in each case. Applying is particularly problematic as even when and are sparse, is generally dense. For this reason, we wish to find a suitable approximation of , with
or, more precisely, a cheap application of the effect of on a generic vector. In the following section we commence by finding a good approximation of the inverse of the matrix , then in Section 4.3 we describe the approach used for approximating the Schur complement .
Since we will benchmark our new preconditioning strategy against the preconditioner derived in [33] for heat control (i.e., ) after applying the optimize-then-discretize approach with backward Euler time-stepping, we briefly describe the preconditioner for the system (12), itself also a saddle-point system. In this case the -block is not invertible; a good preconditioner is found to be
where
(20)
with
(21)
Here,
is chosen such that the (invertible) matrixis ‘close enough’ to the matrix in some sense. The -block is approximated by a ‘perturbed’ matrix , whose inverse is then applied within the matrix . A term of the form (21) is justified in Section 4.3.
4.2 Approximation of the -block
We now focus on devising a preconditioner for the matrix system (16), arising from a Crank–Nicolson discretization, starting with a cheap and effective approximation of the matrix . We recall from (17) that can be written as , with defined as in (18). We observe that is a block diagonal matrix with each diagonal block a multiple of . Therefore, in order to obtain a cheap approximation for , we require a suitable way to approximate the inverse of a mass matrix. As discussed in [11, 12, 46], the Chebyshev semi-iterative method represents a cheap and effective way to do this. From the discussion above, a good approximation of is therefore given by , with
where denotes a fixed number of steps (20, in our tests) of Chebyshev semi-iteration applied to . Further, since and are (block) upper- and lower-triangular matrices respectively (which makes them very easy to invert), we use backward and forward (block-)substitution in order to apply their inverses.
It is trivial to prove the following, on the effectiveness of our approximation of : The minimum (maximum) eigenvalue of is bounded below (above) by the minimum (maximum) eigenvalue of .
4.3 Approximation of Schur complement
We now find a suitable approximation for the Schur complement of (16). In the forthcoming theory, we assume that Assumption 1 holds, and later discuss the case where this is relaxed. Recalling how the matrices , , and can be written as linear transformations involving the matrices and , we first rewrite in the following way:
(22)
where we set
(23)
It is hence clear that if we find a symmetric positive definite approximation of
(24)
then is a symmetric positive definite approximation of . We may therefore use the (generalized) Rayleigh quotient in order to find an upper and lower bounds for the eigenvalues of the matrix as follows. Let be an eigenvalue of with
the corresponding eigenvector; then
(25)
where we set and use (22) together with the definition of . Thus upper and lower bounds for the eigenvalues of are given by the maximum and the minimum eigenvalues of , respectively.
(26)
such that ‘captures’ both terms of , namely and (noting that ). We therefore wish that
(27)
Using the definitions of and from (18), we obtain that for this to hold the matrix is given by
(28)
and therefore
(29)
Finally, our approximation of is given by
(30)
with as defined in (29), and the two expressions are equivalent since commutes with both and . To understand the effectiveness of this approximation, we recall (25), telling us that we only need to study the spectrum of the matrix . We next rewrite as follows:
(31)
Since and are symmetric positive definite, we again consider the generalized Rayleigh quotient:
(32)
which is clearly satisfied since .

Recently, I prepared a lecture for the Asia Pacific School of Internet Governance. In midst of my research, came across an old piece of news. Last year, Facebook claimed that it had only agreed to comply with the Vietnam requests to take-down anti-state materials, because the government had threatened to throttle traffic to Facebook. Content-removal, automation of take-downs etc are not the only ways that the governments and other actors regulate social media platforms. One aspect that I think we should think more about is the role of governments in regulating social media platforms via Internet infrastructure. When governments have the liberty to use Internet infrastructure to regulate the actors on the Internet, then we need to think about the appropriate ways that social media platforms should respond to this. Should they, like Facebook, agree to government requests in the face of such threats?

A Conserved Cell Growth Cycle Can Account for the Environmental Stress Responses of Divergent Eukaryotes Author(s)Airoldi, Edoardo M.; Slavov, Nikolai G.; van Oudenaarden, Alexander; Botstein, David Terms of use MetadataShow full item record Abstract
The respiratory metabolic cycle in budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) consists of two phases most simply defined phenomenologically: low oxygen consumption (LOC) and high oxygen consumption (HOC). Each phase is associated with the periodic expression of thousands of genes, producing oscillating patterns of gene-expression found in synchronized cultures and in single cells of slowly growing unsynchronized cultures. Systematic variation in the durations of the HOC and LOC phases can account quantitatively for well-studied transcriptional responses to growth rate differences. Here we show that a similar mechanism, transitions from the HOC phase to the LOC phase, can account for much of the common environmental stress response (ESR) and for the cross protection by a preliminary heat stress (or slow growth rate) to subsequent lethal heat-stress. Similar to the budding yeast metabolic cycle, we suggest that a metabolic cycle, coupled in a similar way to the ESR, in the distantly related fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and in human can explain gene-expression and respiratory patterns observed in these organisms. Although metabolic cycling is associated with the G0/G1 phase of the cell division cycle of slowly growing budding yeast, transcriptional cycling was detected in the G2 phase of the division cycle in fission yeast, consistent with the idea that respiratory metabolic cycling occurs during the phases of the cell division cycle associated with mass accumulation in these divergent eukaryotes.

Better CIO and CISO Collaboration in 3 Steps To proactively address vulnerabilities and prevent attacks from affecting a business, a collaboration between CISOs and CIOs has never been more important.
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
It seems like every week, there is another headline about a new security breach or ransomware attack. That’s not a coincidence -- security breaches, specifically ransomware, have been on the rise since the start of the pandemic, as many businesses have shifted employees to work from home and implemented new digital processes.
The total cost of ransomware damage is expected to reach a whopping $265 billion by 2031, according to Cybersecurity Ventures. No one ever wants to experience a security breach, and for businesses, the damage extends even further as a ransomware or malware attack can mean the difference between keeping customers’ trust and losing it forever.
To proactively address vulnerabilities and prevent attacks from affecting a business, a collaboration between CISOs and CIOs has never been more important. Below are three best practices for these leaders to better bridge gaps and break down silos so ultimately, the entire organization can win.
Step 1: Begin With Full-Stack Observability
To effectively protect a business, security and IT priorities need to be closely aligned from the start, especially as IT environments grow more complex. For CIOs specifically, full-stack observability provides a dynamic and detailed view of the overall IT environment, from the application all the way to the network, and gives them the tools they need to address performance issues before they happen. From there, they can take the insights provided by full-stack observability and align with the goals of the business in order to make the best possible prevention and remediation decisions.
Full-stack observability can actually apply to CISOs too, as performance issues and security issues can often happen in tandem. In fact, PwC recently found that 50% of security executives foresee that cyber and privacy will be baked into every business decision and plan going forward.
For example, if a bug in an application causes a secondary security vulnerability, it’s crucial for the IT and security teams to be in communication to catch that potentially harmful bug and fix it before it ever evolves into something worse. Full-stack observability gives that bird’s eye view of the environment to help teams better identify when issues arise, enabling everyone to act faster and in accordance with the overall goals of the business.
Step 2: Open Up the Innovation Cycle
CIO and CISO collaboration is best implemented within a DevSecOps or BizDevSecOps model, and CISOs need to be brought in as a key part of the innovation cycle. Because CISOs are aware of the latest advancements in security and are constantly keeping up-to-date on the latest in an ever-changing field, they need to have a seat at the table when in the innovation cycle rather than being confined to just “fixing” a breach.
If CISOs are the ones helping construct a wall of protection around a business, they should be brought in to help build that wall rather than just patching the holes. For CIOs, this means reaching across barriers by bringing CISOs into their processes and finding ways to implement security at every step. Leveraging the strengths and resources of both teams is fundamentally important to the success of a business.
Step 3: Bounce Back From Attacks Without Sacrificing Performance
On the other hand, after a major breach or attack, the natural tendency may be to pull back or to put other projects on pause while addressing the effects of the attack. During this phase, it’s crucial to refrain from placing blame, but rather bring teams together to address growing complexity and form a plan to prevent future attacks. Two-thirds of consumers say that irrespective of the root cause of an issue, they will blame a brand or application for a lapse in performance.
While the instinct may be to dial back on innovation, this is actually a great time to learn from the experience and use it to implement technology and processes that improve performance while simultaneously strengthening security.
Conclusion
It is important to take into account the perspective of the CIO and the CISO together, in addition to internal listening to feedback from your developers, SREs, IT practitioners, and all the other technologists who keep the organization moving forward. At the end of the day, the most important goal is protecting and supporting your business and providing customers with the safe and seamless experiences they expect.

At Earth Communications, we understand the challenges that come with associating the difference in finding effective communication. In worksites, communication is heavily relied upon and management requires adequate alternatives to coordinate projects. When we talk about communication however, what’s the first thought that comes to mind? Typically we think of two alternatives: cellular and satellite. Understanding the key differences between them will help determine which communication type best works in certain situations.
The differences between the two types of communication are actually pretty distinct – and throughout this blog we will explain the differences and benefits associated with the two types of communication, including cell on wheels and satellite phones.
What is Cellular?
Cellular communication is a form of communication that enables the use of mobile phone devices. Based on geographic location, cellular communication coverage is within cells. Each cell holds a certain amount of frequencies that allow it to conduct simultaneous conversations.
To improve the range of these frequencies within communities, portable tower systems are used. Alternatives such as cell on wheels trailers are utilized to improve communication networks and cellular communication.
These portable tower systems can also possess the following add on options to enhance communication further:
Cell Boosters Two-way Radio Repeaters Microwave Hardware Customer owned equipment
Portable cell towers greatly improve communication in remote locations, that is best broken down in our previous blog focused on cell on wheels, which you can find here.
What is Satellite?
Satellite communication on the other hand, refers to any communication link that involves the use of an artificial satellite in its propagation path. Satellite communication uses high frequency signals and affects a huge majority of communication today. Providing a link to the world, satellite communication is strongly relied on in emergency situations.
Earth Communication offers Iridium satellite phones, which can reach to the most remote areas making it the perfect addition to any Emergency Response Plan (ERP). For all situations in remote locations which require communication – satellite communication services are a great alternative.
Understanding the Differences Between Them
Both options are effective for communication, and understanding how they work is essential to solving what type of communication better solves the problem.
Compared to cellular communication, satellite offers broader communication, has less of a gap in coverage, and less vulnerability to damages. Cellular communication provides many networks, is quick and easy to install and is a cheaper alternative to renting. While both forms of communication have portability options, cellular makes it easier with mobile tower trailers or cell on wheels.
Even though both are strong communication alternatives, while both have some reliability issues. Cellular communication, in particular, cell on wheels, can experience interruptions due to moving through networks, while satellites can experience delays due to long distance data transmission and the weather interruptions.
Conclusion
At Earth Communications, we supply communication solutions to many different industries, businesses and individuals across Western Canada. Whether you are looking for cellular or satellite communication solutions, we have the answer!

The 2021–22 academic year has brought many changes across Boston College’s campus. As new and returning students prepared for a more normal year of college with significantly fewer COVID-19 restrictions, professors prepared to take on their own set of new challenges—returning to in-person instruction.
In terms of time, the last year and a half of distance learning has been nothing more than a blip in the careers of the many BC professors who have spent years teaching fully in person. The impacts of other aspects for these professors, though—the adaptations they underwent and lessons that have stemmed from the pandemic—have been immeasurable.
Here and Now: Returning to an In-Person Environment
The return to the classroom has been long-awaited by both students and professors—but the shift has been especially pronounced for BC’s professors who were entirely remote during the 2020–21 academic year.
“I think I thought, you know, after … a year and a half of remote teaching, just walking back into the classroom, I’d be ready to go in the same way, because I’ve taught for several years,” assistant professor of English Christy Pottroff said. “And you know, I take my teaching very seriously, but I think I was rusty.”
Despite having years of in-person teaching experience prior to the pandemic, associate communications professor of the practice Celeste Wells felt the same sense of difficulty when going back to the classroom, she said.
“Teaching is performance … we’re on stage all day long,” she said. “[Last year] we all had to learn how to sit still and teach to a fixed camera, and so, then you move back into … the dynamic stage. The first week, I certainly came home and said, ‘Oh my gosh, I don’t feel like my mouth is working right.’”
Clinical instructor in the Connell School of Nursing Dorean Hurley had a shorter transition period between online and in-person instruction, as nursing classes in the summer of 2021 were held in person. She said that she felt both excited and nervous before lecturing in front of a large class again.
“It was nerve-wracking a little bit because … I was completely remote in the spring semester, so I’m always nervous on the first day of class, no matter what. But I think I was a little more anxious, the first couple of classes in the summer, and for the fall semester,” Hurley said.
Though she taught in-person classes during the summer, she said, preparing on a larger scale of the fall semester was still an adjustment. Hurley said that she needed to hone her social skills again, especially after having limited human contact for more than a year. Another part of the adjustment was coping with the idea that COVID-19 may be transmitted in her classroom. From her perspective as a healthcare provider, seeing students without masks was worrisome.
“As a healthcare provider … that’s been a real struggle for me to see students in class, sitting right alongside of each other both people not wearing masks,” she said. “That I have a problem with only because I’m a nurse, and what we do in the hospital setting is not what we’re doing in the classroom setting, so … I worry about transmission,” she said.
Compared to last year, when COVID-19 protocols were uniform and strictly enforced, many decisions were left up to professors this year, such as what to do if a student misses class due to isolation. Increased guidance from the University on these matters would have also helped with the transition back this year, assistant professor of the practice in the classics department Mark Thatcher said.
The challenge hasn’t just been rustiness and the uncertain state of the pandemic—the world is also a different place than it was two years ago, Thatcher said.
“It requires rethinking everything again almost from scratch,” Thatcher said. “[I’m] needing to think about masks, needing to think about recording—which I never would have done before—for when a student is out for any reason. The technology that I have to juggle is so much more than ever before … learning how to project my voice in a mask is a challenge.”
Because of the prolonged period of teaching online, many professors—especially those who were entirely remote—started getting fully comfortable with being on Zoom. Thus, shifting online lesson plans and content back to the classroom had a unique set of obstacles, assistant professor of classics Hanne Eisenfeld said.
“Just thinking about the technological adjustments of how do you make what worked on Zoom into something that will play in the classroom—what was on the board, what needs to be printed,” Eisenfeld said. “But [also] on the smaller scale, where I could take the theory of the class, and then sort of translate it into physical space.”
Initial adjustment periods aside, Wells said the return to in-person learning is important.
“I think in the end it’s healthier for everyone, even if it’s hard, and I don’t mean COVID, [but] I think developmentally, it’s good for people to have to interact with others,” Wells said. “I think … we’re all going through growing pains right now.”
Some professors have also noticed a change in students after a year and a half of modified classroom settings.
“It’s not like all students are delighted to be doing homework all the time, but … they are energized to be around others,” Wells said. “There’s a vibrancy among students right now, where I think … we’re all a little more grateful for what we have versus taking it as the status quo.”
Associate professor of communication Michael Serazio also said that his students have shown their enthusiasm and gratitude to be back fully in person.
“These have been probably the best … first three weeks of a semester that I’ve ever experienced as a professor,” he said. “The energy, the vibe is the best … in my career of teaching. I mean … it’s obvious but it’s just [that] when you’ve been deprived of something, you’re that much more appreciative and energetic about it.”
2020: A Reimagined Academic Year
Because of the unpredictable and contagious nature of COVID-19, many professors chose to remain online throughout the duration of the 2020–21 academic year to protect themselves.
“So I stayed online for both semesters for, you know, health reasons, as I’m sure anyone would say,” Thatcher said. “I think that I found in the fall that the system I came up with was working pretty well, and so I basically then did the same thing in the spring.”
Some professors had other reasons to remain online, such as their families’ health. For Pottroff, who has an unvaccinated child, a brother with brain cancer, and other high-risk family members, teaching virtually allowed her to keep her family safe, she said.
For professors teaching large classes or classes with enough international students, the University made the call that certain classes would run online.
Once professors decided or were told by the University to use an online format, they were tasked with adjusting course material and methodology. The good news, Eisenfeld said, was that they could apply the lessons learned during spring 2020’s hectic transition to online as they entered the fall of 2020.
“The following academic year we had the summer to think about how to retool our classes, the CTE [Center for Teaching Excellence] was extremely helpful in providing guidance for that,” Eisenfeld said. “And so it was a much more considered process of thinking about, ‘How can I use those digital tools to really bring out the material and let people engage?’ So I think that was more helpful.”
For Thatcher, the hardest part was reimagining the format of his classes. He felt unprepared and under trained at first, he said, but by the beginning of the semester, he became more comfortable.
Another adjustment some BC professors faced was teaching virtually at the same time as their partners. Eisenfeld and Thatcher, who are married, had to plan how to best share their space at home.
“The biggest challenge is that we have an office that we share … it required a certain amount of planning about who is going to be where when, and awareness of sound traveling through the walls, so I’d hear Greek being taught while he was listening to my [classical mythology] class, but it was okay,” Eisenfeld said.
Once the semester was underway, professors teaching discussion-based classes had to be extra intentional about fostering conversation over Zoom.
Associate professor of English Robert Lehman said his upper-level classes usually range from 12 to 15 students, allowing for students to easily jump into the conversation while in person. Over Zoom, establishing this natural flow was much more difficult.
“I was using, you know, the hand raise function … things like that, and somebody who had a really immediate reply to a point that someone had just made then wouldn’t get to speak because I just go through them in order,” Lehman said. “It just kind of felt like a lot more … call and response, and a lot less organic communication.”
Professors who used hybrid or in-person models, like Serazio, also had to adjust to not only teaching in a mask, but also delivering lectures to students whose faces were half covered. For years, he relied on nonverbal cues to understand if students were processing the material—which became impossible.
“Especially that first month, my brain as a … teacher was trying to process the fact that I had absolutely no clue whether any of the material was … landing in an effective way,” Serazio said. “As a professor … especially if you’re like a high self-monitor like I am … you’re constantly relying upon nonverbal cues, facial expressions, things like that, to try to gauge whether it’s working, whether the materials are working, whether it’s understandable, enjoyable … so it was just completely surreal and exhausting.”
Even though he was teaching in the classroom, Serazio felt the same sense of choppiness that Lehman did online, and said that he had to work twice as hard to foster energy and interaction.
Online classes challenged both professors and students to adapt with regard to learning, but the adjustment went beyond this—professors had to take into account how the pandemic impacted students outside of the classroom as well, Serazio said.
He tried to preface class by reminding his students that the current situation was surreal, difficult, and exhausting, he said. Beyond recognizing that nobody was experiencing a normal year, he also tried to create space to check in on his students’ mental state, he said.
“There were moments where I would try to have class sessions that were really just around coping and checking in with people’s mental health,” Serazio said. “Like, … let’s just all kind of talk about what’s getting us through this difficult year, what strategies you’re using, where are you finding joy, where are you finding rejuvenation.”
Apart from academics, many professors also missed the authentic in-person interactions and connections with their students. Hurley particularly felt this lack of interaction with her students because she teaches courses of varying levels in the nursing program. She usually has the chance of getting to know the nursing students as freshmen, but teaching online prevented her from doing so.
“I get to know some of the students as freshmen in the intro professional nursing class, and you weren’t able to do that,” Hurley said. “And so then they follow up and come into a big fundamental class in nursing, and I don’t know them as well as I did in previous years, so … that’s another challenge.”
Successes and Solutions
Though professors encountered many obstacles while teaching remotely, their temporary solutions to these problems taught them lessons that they would not have learned in a normal academic setting. Now, after the return to in-person instruction, many of these temporary lessons have stuck.
During the pandemic, the difficulty of processing everything that was happening worldwide prompted Wells to hone in on the importance of being clear in her communication to her students, which is one way to promote a sense of security in her classroom setting, she said.
“What I learned is that … people can’t learn if they don’t feel safe,” Wells said. “Before, [students] had a normal syllabus that they could follow, but I immediately got them a brand new one that was online that could say, ‘Here’s how you can now understand what we’re going to do going forward,’ and sometimes just having that much clarity in a world that’s completely unclear … can prove useful.”
A common effect of the 2020-21 school year—for professors and students alike—was Zoom fatigue, where individuals would find difficulty in paying attention after looking at a screen for several hours. To combat this and to ensure student engagement, Thatcher divided his class size and lecture time in half to facilitate a more intimate discussion.
“I tried to keep the Zoom room small for my larger classes—which were 40 students—so I actually divided them into two sections of 20 students each,” Thatcher said. “And rather than meeting as a whole group for an hour and 15 minutes, we met for 30 minutes each … I tried to be really focused in those classes. I think students were into that.”
Eisenfeld also divided her 75-minute lectures into halves. Having a condensed class time meant that she had to rethink how to best use her time, she said.
Pottroff emphasized group work in her remote classes. She said that establishing a sense of community within the classroom is something professors can forget about, but the heightened sense of isolation during the pandemic reminded her of its importance.
“I did more sustained … group work [during] the remote semesters, and I think that that was really valuable,” Pottroff said. “I like to help foster those connections and friendships in a way, and it felt really important during the pandemic when everyone was isolated, you know that those relationships could be really meaningful.”
The struggle to foster a class community was multiplied for professors like Wells who taught asynchronous sections. Wells recognized the danger of students simply turning in assignments without ever engaging with the professor or classmates, which led her to implement more intimate sections of her courses, she said.
“I designed a portion of all my asynchronous classes called tutorials where they had several different choices of times that they could come, and we would be in small groups, like 10 people, online,” Wells said. “We would just discuss stuff, we would just have conversations about [the] material and how it connected to the real world, and I think that worked really well from a time perspective because I had them at all different … times so that the international students would be able to attend.”
The successes stemming from intentionally carving out space for discussion and connection have continued to shape this year for many professors. Some professors have also preserved methodological approaches from online learning in their in-person teaching routines.
After being forced to administer exams online last year, Thatcher found many benefits—from not worrying about a student missing the exam to not having to struggle to read handwriting—and has continued to administer them online this year.
So far this year, Wells has had both virtual and in-person office hours. She said that this method is useful because it caters to students’ availability and comfort levels.
“They can do virtual or in-person office hours with me, depending on how they feel, or just the space they’re in in a particular week,” Wells said. “It’s been nice because it’s giving them more flexibility in the way they connect with me, if they’re more comfortable … online. For me to be able to have those different options for them.”
During the transition back to in-person teaching this fall, Eisenfeld felt a push to combine the best aspects of each format, but she recognized this goal was unattainable across the board.
“In some ways, there’s a temptation to take all the things that worked on Zoom, and then think of all the things that work in person and try to do them all, which is terrible because that’s too many things for any given class,” Eisenfeld said.
She has devoted herself back to the mode of in-person teaching, but still finds value in remote-learning tactics like Canvas discussions, she said.
“Having made them part of that hybrid asynchronous/synchronous teaching last year, I saw that [Canvas discussions] really gave students a chance to dig into the material and develop thoughts before discussion, and then discuss much more meaningfully, and so that’s one of the things I’m keeping,” Eisenfeld said.
Reflections and Lessons Learned
Ultimately, a year and a half of virtual teaching provided professors the opportunity to reflect on their own teaching practices and learn from the processes of online learning.
For Serazio, who was previously open to letting students use technology in the classroom, the time being virtual caused a shift in his views—no screens are allowed in his classroom, he said.
“The point of [the] pandemic was to change you,” he said. “The point is not to go back to normal. The point was to go back to something … that’s better than normal, it’s different than normal. And in some small way … it was sort of the realization of … the negative energy that screens can drain out of the room.”
Wells said that the pandemic allowed her to learn from her own teaching practices and forced her to think about how to achieve learning outcomes in a new environment.
“We have to find a new way to function,” she said. “I think that’s something that has adapted, but the truth is, we’re only three weeks in and so … there’s gonna be a learning curve for all of us, students included. The shifts we’ve all experienced over the last several years have been really massive.”
Wells also emphasized the importance of tending to the whole student.
“If students are struggling, I hope they remember they’re not alone with these challenges and they should reach out to friends and faculty and staff across campus that they trust so that they can really work through this new world together, rather than apart or in isolation as we’ve been over the last couple of years,” Wells said.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Prevention Pfizer’s Coronavirus Booster Shot Recommended Thursday vaccination For millions of older, high-risk Americans, we are launching a new chapter in national efforts to protect the vulnerable from severe illness.
First, the expert CDC advisory board COVID-19 (New Coronavirus Infection) Booster shots over 65 years old, Nurse Residents and other Americans at high risk due to their underlying health. These recommendations were made at least six months after the US Food and Drug Administration took the second shot, and only one day after approving boosters for several vulnerable groups.
Hours after the panel made the recommendation, CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky approved the panel’s recommendation, but added another important category to the mix. COVID-19 (New Coronavirus Infection) For their profession. This includes teachers, healthcare professionals, and grocery store employees.
What is the reason for Warensky’s decision? The CDC panel recommendations did not exactly match the FDA’s broader approvals.
“The CDC needs to analyze complex and often incomplete data to make specific recommendations for optimizing health,” Warrensky said in a statement released early Friday morning. .. “In a pandemic, we must take actions that are expected to bring maximum benefits, despite uncertainty.
“We meet the needs of the country’s public health most by providing booster doses to the elderly, people in long-term care, people with underlying illness, and adults at high risk of illness from occupational and institutional exposure. I believe we can respond well. COVID-19 (New Coronavirus Infection).. This is in line with the FDA’s booster approval and will target these groups for booster shots, “Walensky added.
CDC vaccination The advisory board will only consider Pfizer vaccines, and the CDC will “have the same sense of urgency to address the recommendations of Moderna and J & J. vaccination As soon as those data became available, “Walensky said.
The CDC panel voted 13 to 2 to approve a third dose to people aged 50 to 64 years at severe risk. COVID-19 (New Coronavirus Infection) Because of my medical condition
New York Times report.
“I’m surprised that Dr. Warensky overturned one of the four. [CDC panel] I think others will do so in today’s vote, “said Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, an infectious disease expert at Stanford University and the American Academy. Pediatrics Contact the panel
Times..
However, the CDC panel’s vote on occupational risk boosters was “close,” Maldonado said. The panel voted 9-6 against including the category.
Times report.
“this [recommendation] It deals not only with weakened immunity, but also with people at high risk of exposure, “she added.
After a long discussion, the CDC Advisor also decided to allow people between the ages of 18 and 49 with underlying illness to choose boosters based on their own interests and risks.
Times report. Certain people with weakened immunity cancer Patients and transplant recipients were already allowed to take booster shots.
In a statement released Wednesday, American Medical Association President Gerald Hermon praised the CDC Panel’s “Thoughtful Deliberation and Recommendations.” Still, the hospitalization rate for unvaccinated people is 10 to 22 times higher than the hospitalization rate for vaccinated people, “our top priority continues to reach unvaccinated people. is needed. COVID-19 (New Coronavirus Infection), “He added.
Even with Thursday’s approval, there is still no booster option for those who received the shots of Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.
The CDC advisor expressed concern during the deliberations.
“Late this afternoon, how can people over the age of 65 say,’You are at risk of serious illness and death, but now you can only protect yourself in half.’ I don’t know, “said Dr. Sarah, Drexel University, Pennsylvania.
Associated Press..
Moderna has applied for approval for a booster that carries half of the dose given in the first two shots. Approval can occur in days or weeks.
Times report.
The CDC data presented at the meeting vaccination Still, a slight reduction in the country’s oldest adults provides strong protection for all age groups. However, immunity to mild infections appears to have diminished months after the first vaccination of people.
AP report.
Dr. Matthew Daily of Kaiser Permanente, Colorado, said that for most people, if they don’t belong to the recommended group for boosters, “because we think you’re well protected.” increase.
AP.. “It’s not about who deserves a booster, but who needs a booster.”
During the meeting on Thursday, CDC advisors discussed whether the booster shot discussion would undermine the need to vaccinate unvaccinated people.
AP report. According to the report, only 55% of the total population of the United States is fully vaccinated. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention..
“We can give people boosters, but that’s not the answer to this pandemic,” said Dr. Helen Cape Talbot of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.
AP.. “The hospital is full because people are not vaccinated. We are refusing to care for people who deserve care because they are full of unvaccinated COVID-positive patients.” For more information

The universe is an endless expanse of mystery, dignity, and stunning sights. So why is the universe airing a few years later the “re-execution” of the supernova explosion we already saw in 2016?
The faint glow of the 10 billion-year-old ancient explosion, known as the supernova Requiem, is expected to reappear in the sky around 2037, even after the same light source has already smiled three times on NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope in 2016. I am.
The reason for this space rerun has nothing to do with the supernova itself, the study was published in the journal on September 13th.
Nature Astronomy As suggested, in a huge cluster of galaxies, the light of a nova must pass along the way. Earth..
“Whenever light passes near a very large object such as a galaxy or cluster of galaxies, the distortion of space-time
EinsteinGeneral theory Theory of relativity It tells us that it exists in every mass and slows the movement of light around that mass, “said Steve Rodney, an assistant professor at the University of South Carolina in Colombia. Said in a statement..
This phenomenon is called a gravitational lens. This effect occurs when gravity causes a giant object to distort or lens the light of a distant star or galaxy behind it.
Enlarge the light Distort distant objects, and sometimes it. In the case of the supernova Requiem, researchers say that a large cluster of galaxies, MACS J0138, brightens the light of a star’s explosion, proliferates, divides it into several different images, and appears to appear at different points in the sky at different times. Said.
When astronomers first discovered Requiem in the Hubble image of the 2016 MACS cluster, supernovae appeared simultaneously in three different locations around the edge of the cluster. Researchers have shown that the three different images differ in brightness and color, suggesting that the supernova showed three different stages of the supernova as it darkened and cooled over time.
A follow-up image of the cluster taken in 2019 confirmed that all three light spots were completely extinguished, all mirror images of the same distant light source. Since then, researchers have learned that light originates from about 10 billion ancient supernovae.
Light year From Earth, the star in question, means that it lived and died within the first 4 billion years thereafter. big Bang..
However, a closer look at the MACS cluster revealed that the Supernova Requiem magic show wasn’t over yet. The light passing through the exact center of the cluster is still pinballed by the strong gravity of the cluster and has not yet appeared on the side facing the Earth.
In their new study, researchers used computer models to map galaxy clusters.
Dark matter — A mysterious and invisible substance that makes up most of the matter in the universe and acts as an adhesive that binds large galaxies together. Using this map, the team predicted the various routes that light from the supernova Requiem could pass through the cluster of galaxies on its way to Earth, and how dark matter affects its arrival.
Researchers have calculated that light passing through the center of the most dense cluster of dark matter should appear above Earth in 2037. (A supernova may also appear for the fifth time in 2042, but its light will be so dim that astronomers may not be able to see it at all, the team added).
According to Rodney, this is the “very long” delay between the first and last appearance of light, the longest ever observed from a multilens supernova.
When the long-awaited new star reappears in the sky, astronomers will be able to measure the exact time difference between all four supernova images, following the gravity-distorted path that the dying star’s light had to pass through. You will be able to understand better. Ultimately, the authors conclude that this could give researchers more clues about the nature of dark matter. So stay calm and don’t touch the dial. The rebroadcast of the supernova Requiem is worth a look.

Research on new dark matter predicts that a 10 billion-year-old supernova will soon be regenerated in front of us.

on Dubai’s foreign oil trade grows by 10% to Dh354 billion in first quarter of 2021 Dubai: Dubai’s economy has proven its resilience and ability to recover quickly from the global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic by achieving high levels of external non-oil trade growth in Q1 2021. Foreign trade in Dubai touched Dh354.4 billion this quarter, growing 10 percent from Dh323 billion in the corresponding period in 2020, and 5 percent compared to the first quarter of 2019. This reflects a rapid return to recovery and growth in the foreign trade sector and an ability to adapt to drastic changes in the international trade environment. Exports grew by 25 percent to 50.5 billion Dh, representing a volume of 5 million tons, an increase of 20 percent, and imports were D204.8 billion and grew by 9 percent. The value of re-exports reached Dh99 billion, with 5.5 percent. ‘This remarkable achievement reflects the impressive resilience of our foreign trade sector and its ability to recover and grow in the face of major international crises. Inspired by the vision and guidelines of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, our challenges have always turned into opportunities. We have achieved this on the basis of our good governance, advanced infrastructure, strategic location, our status as a regional and global hub for trade, and the generous stimulus packages that the government has launched in support of trade and businesses, ‘ said Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai. This remarkable growth will bring Dubai closer to the ambitious goal of its five-year strategy to increase the value of foreign trade to Dh2 trillion and connect its position as a bridge connecting regional and international markets by continually improving its infrastructure and logistics services. “Furthermore, by presenting EXPO2020, ‘the world’s biggest show’, Dubai will make a significant contribution to the recovery of the world economy and help it to move towards prosperity again,” Sheikh Hamdan said.
China maintained its position as Dubai’s largest trading partner in the first quarter of 2021 with a trade value of Dh44 billion, representing a growth of 30 percent. India came in second with Dh35 billion, growing by 17 percent, followed by the US in third place with Dh15.4 billion. Saudi Arabia was still Dubai’s largest Gulf and Arab trading partner and its fourth largest global trading partner with AED14.7 billion in trade, which grew by 20 percent, followed by Turkey in fifth place with Dh12 billion, which is a staggering growth of 72 per cent. Direct trade in the first quarter of 2021 amounted to Dh217 billion, which grew by 15 percent compared to the first quarter of 2020, while trade through free zones reached Dh135 billion and grew by 2 percent. Trade in the customs warehouse weighed Dh2.3 billion and grew by 23 percent. Trade in the air was good for Dh179 billion, which grew by 15 per cent. Sea trade reached Dh120 billion, growing by 3 per cent, while land trade reached Dh55.3 billion, by 7 per cent. Gold topped the list of commodities in Dubai’s Q1 foreign trade, Dh63 billion, with 27 percent, followed by telecommunications at Dh50 billion, with 32 percent. Diamonds achieved a record growth of 61 percent and came third in the list with Dh29 billion, followed by jewelry with Dh17 billion, and trade in vehicles, which grew by 9 percent to Dh14 billion. “Dubai has rapidly recovered from the effects of the current global crisis and has grown its trade resiliently, spurred by its strong investments and advanced technological capabilities, which have enabled it to continue its global trading activities during a test period. The impressive success of the vaccination campaign in the UAE has created high levels of global confidence in the country and helped Dubai raise its profile as the city with the world’s most favorable business environment, “said Sultan bin Sulayem, DP World Group’s chairman and CEO chief, said, and chairman of Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation. Gold topped the list of commodities in the Q1 foreign trade in Dubai at AED63bn, up 27%, followed by telecommunications at AED50bn, up 32%.

VCN - According to National Assembly Portal, Minister of Finance Ho Duc Phoc, authorised by the Prime Minister, gave a presentation about the Government's proposal on the draft of revised Law on Insurance Business at the third meeting of the National Assembly Standing Committee.
Minister of Finance Ho Duc Phoc. Source: quochoi.vn It is necessary to promulgate the revised Law on Insurance Business
Speaking at the meeting, Minister of Finance Ho Duc Phoc said the Law on Insurance Business was promulgated 20 years ago, when the insurance market was still young, the management authorities were also newly established, and the market size was very small. Thus products and distribution channels were not diversified.
Up to now, before the development of the market and many changes in legal regulations, the Law on Insurance Business has revealed shortcomings that are no longer consistent and synchronous with the newly revised regulations in the Civil Code, some contents have no basis for practical application like competence, process of handling insurance enterprises facing financial difficulties; the application or integration of technology in the insurance business; requirements for internal control, internal audit, independent audit; the linkage between the management agencies in the implementation of the Government's insurance programmes.
Some provisions of the current Law on Insurance Business have not kept pace with international standards, such as provisions on prevention of insurance profiteering, money laundering, and terrorist financing; conditions for foreign investors are limited; outdated financial management model; no requirement for risk management.
In addition, Minister of Finance Ho Duc Phoc also stated the guidelines and policies of the Party and State on perfecting the law in the insurance business were also issued. Specifically, the fifth Conference of the 12th Party Central Committee issued Resolution No. 11-NQ/TW on perfecting the socialist-oriented market economy institution, in which: "Balanced development, firm synchronised the financial market. Develop the insurance market, the market for accounting, auditing, tax consulting, valuation services"; Resolution No. 39-NQ/TW on improving the efficiency of management, exploitation, use and promotion of the economy's resources, which stated the task of "improving legal regulations on the insurance. Encourage insurance businesses to re-invest in the economy”; Decision No. 242/2019/QD-TTg approving the Project "Restructuring the securities market and insurance market to 2020 and orientation to 2025" defining "revised Law on Insurance Business and other guidance documents in the direction of risk-based management and supervision; develop supervision criteria to promote post-inspection work through examination".
From the above reasons, Minister of Finance Ho Duc Phoc said the promulgation of the revised Law on Insurance Business is necessary.
Seven main policy groups
Presenting the draft law at the meeting, Minister of Finance Ho Duc Phoc said the draft revised Law on Insurance Business had adhered to the purpose, direction and specific point of view and concretise seven policy groups as proposed to develop a law project which was approved by the Government in Resolution No. 121/NQ-CP dated December 31, 2019.
As for the general regulations, the contents are amended, supplemented and the new regulations include the subject of application, which is expanded compared to the old law, is a mutual organisation providing micro-insurance; amend and supplement wording explanations to be suitable with relevant practice and law; principles of providing and using insurance services revised to be consistent with current legal regulations, international practices and international commitments that Vietnam participates in (EVFTA, CPTPP); types of insurance are divided into three basic types according to international practice, namely life insurance, non-life insurance and health insurance and compulsory insurance, limited to reflect the true nature of the type of insurance.
Regarding insurance contracts, according to the minister, this content basically retains the design of the old Law, adds a section on loss prevention, fraud prevention and dispute settlement. Contents of the completed insurance contract are including general provisions; each type of contract (life and health, property and damage, civil liability); regarding loss prevention, fraud prevention and dispute settlement.
Regarding insurance firms and reinsurance enterprises, the draft law has expanded foreign investors, allowing financial groups to conduct insurance business; simplify conditions for insurance firms that have been licensed to operate in Vietnam and want to establish new insurance enterprises; supplement the business registration; allow insurance companies to provide products in other insurance fields.
Regarding the operation, the Minister of Finance said that the draft law has added new regulations to improve corporate governance, such as new regulations on organisation and operation, internal control, risk management of enterprises according to international practices, suitable to the nature of insurance business activities; allowing insurers to take initiative in designing and building insurance products and outsourcing them to meet conditions; additional regulations on conditions in case of outsourcing. In addition, supplementing contents and principles to encourage insurance firms to apply IT in insurance operation; requirements on the application of IT in insurance business activities, subjects and forms of insurance service provision in the network environment.
Regarding micro insurance, this content is newly regulated, including content on characteristics of microinsurance and organisations that are provided with microinsurance products (insurance enterprises, mutual organisations providing insurance).
Regarding the financial management of insurance enterprises and reinsurance enterprises, draft amendments and supplements to regulations on financial management of insurance enterprises and reinsurance enterprises towards transforming to capital management base on a risk. Accordingly, the draft law requires enterprises to determine the capital adequacy ratio and capital management corresponding to the size and risk level of the firm.
Notably, regarding the State management of insurance business, the Minister of Finance said that the draft law has been amended towards combining regulations on the contents of state management and state authorities; supplement the tasks and powers of the Ministry of Finance in the management, supervision, inspection and handling of violations of the law on insurance business activities.

Kabul: With Afghanistan thrown into a major upheaval and economic crisis, the people facing unemployment and acute poverty have taken to the streets to sell their valuables in exchange for some cash to make ends meet.
Afghans who were earlier enjoying government jobs or were working in the private sector have been rendered jobless overnight. According to a report in Tolo News, the Afghans have now turned streets in Kabul into flea markets to sell their household belongings at cheap rates only to bring food to the table.
Laal Gul, a shopkeeper in Kabul, told Tolo News, “I sold my items for less than half their value. I bought a refrigerator for 25,000 afghanis and sold it for 5,000. What am I to do? My children need food at night.”
Some have even sold their goods worth 100,000 afghanis for as little as 20,000 at these flea markets on roads leading to Chaman-e-Hozori, a park in Kabul.
Visuals from the streets show Afghans lining up refrigerators, television sets, sofas, cupboards and every other household furniture, appliance in search of some liquidity.
A former police officer in Kabul, Mohammad Agha, has been working at the same market for the past 10 days. He told Tolo News, “They did not pay me my salary. Now, I do not have a job. What am I to do?”
A month after seizing Kabul, the Taliban are now facing daunting problems as they seek to convert their lightning military victory into an able, functional administration.
Afghans are now selling everything to find enough money to get food or arrange resources to escape the crumbling nation.
After four decades of war and the deaths of tens of thousands of people, while security has largely improved, Afghanistan’s economy is in ruins despite hundreds of billions of dollars in development spending over the past 20 years.
Drought and famine are driving thousands from the country to the cities, and the World Food Programme fears food could run out by the end of the month, pushing up to 14 million people to the brink of starvation.
While much attention in the West has focused on whether the new Taliban government will keep its promises to protect women’s rights or offer shelter to militant groups like al-Qaeda, for many Afghans the main priority is simple survival.

I decided to meaningfully inform the methods households can work together with children within the kitchen. Growing up in a traditional Asian Indian household, residence cooking was part of the day by day routine and a cultural practice. At the time, acquiring cooking data and expertise was an expectation and thought of normal. When I moved to the United States, I added new information about diverse cultural values and norms surrounding food and home cooking practices. The first “reside class” I watched had been taped previously but seemed great. In it, Geoffrey Zakarian made mushroom bruschetta.
It is superb for sauteing with vegetables, broiling on fish, and grilling on the barbecue . The female and male seeds of the fruit can’t be distinguished before planting, and there’s additionally a hermaphrodite seed. Several seeds are planted with the prospect of growing one successful Ababai tree. Ababai bushes grow for 7 half to 8 years and solely bear fruit for 5 years. The tree is then reduce down, recycled, and have to be replanted on virgin soil. a la mode – A French word for “in the method of” or “mode or based on style.” Desserts a la mode are served with ice cream.
Higher Properties And Gardens The Way To Cook
As you turn out to be more comfortable with the cooking process for the dish you’re making, it’ll begin to taste higher and higher! Eventually, you’ll grasp it – and the talents you’ve learned making that dish will transfer to different dishes, too. This is particularly useful in case you are a visual learner, and have a tough time making food primarily based on instructions that are written down. By seeing the recipe because it’s being made, you can perceive what it’s alleged to seem like at each stage – and be sure that you’re following the directions correctly when making your individual dish. These above steps are generalized, of course, and can differ a bit. But principally, whenever you cook Indian food, you’ll begin by tempering oil, frying some vegetables, and adding spices and a sauce base. This is the basis for lots of Indian dishes that you simply’ll be making if you begin out, from butter hen to rooster tikka masala, saag paneer, biryani and more.

Shares of
AMN Healthcare Services Inc AMN reached a new 52-week high of $114.91 on Sep 1, before closing the session marginally lower at $113.25.
Shares of the company have gained 107% in the past year compared with 32.5% rise of the S&P 500 composite. The industry fell 34.6% in the said time frame.
AMN Healthcare is witnessing an upward trend in its stock price, prompted by its broad array of services. The company’s solid performance in the second quarter of 2021 and its key buyouts buoy optimism. Consolidation of healthcare delivery units and healthcare industry regulations are major downsides.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Let's delve deeper.
Key Growth Drivers Strong Q2 Results: AMN Healthcare’s better-than-expected results in second-quarter 2021 buoy optimism. The company recorded robust performance across each of its core segments, along with a surge in its top and bottom lines in the quarter. Per management, increased healthcare utilization and a tight labor market have created record high demand in many areas of the company’s business, which is encouraging. Strength in the healthcare Managed Services Program (“MSP”) also looks encouraging. Expansion of both margins also bodes well for the stock. An upbeat revenue guidance for the third quarter of 2021 is encouraging. Acquisitions: AMN Healthcare has lately been strengthening its inorganic portfolio through a string of acquisitions, raising investors’ optimism. In May 2021, the company forayed into the post-acute care market with the acquisition of the telehealth company Synzi. The latter offers virtual care and remote patient-monitoring platforms in the home health and outpatient markets. These solutions will help AMN Healthcare conduct virtual visits and use secure messaging, texts and emails for clinician-to-patient and clinician-to-clinician communications.
The buyouts of Stratus Video (now known as AMN Language Services) and b4health are other top performance drivers for AMN Healthcare.
Broad Array of Services: Investors are upbeat about AMN Healthcare’s business’ gradual evolution beyond traditional healthcare staffing. The company has become a strategic total talent solutions partner of its clients. AMN Healthcare has expanded its portfolio to serve a diverse and growing set of healthcare talent-related needs. In addition to its healthcare professional staffing and recruitment services, the company’s suite of healthcare workforce solutions includes MSPs, vendor management systems (“VMS”), and medical language interpretation services, among others.
The company has also displayed strength in digital health capabilities with its AMN Passport and AMN Cares. The first one is the company’s mobile app for healthcare experts, while AMN Cares is a telehealth platform helping care teams to interface with employees or patients at home. The company also expanded its scalable VMS solution, enabling a wide array of health care facilities to quickly staff and manage their entire range of contingent talent.
Downsides Consolidation of Healthcare Delivery Units: Healthcare delivery organizations are consolidating, which is providing them with greater leverage in negotiating pricing for services. Consolidations may also result in AMN Healthcare losing its ability to work with certain clients because the party acquiring or consolidating with its client may have a previously established service provider they choose to maintain. Additionally, the company’s clients may increase their use of intermediaries, such as VMS companies and group purchasing organizations, which may enhance their bargaining power. These dynamics, individually or collectively, could negatively affect pricing for the company’s services and its ability to maintain certain clients. Healthcare Industry Regulations: The healthcare industry is subject to extensive and complex federal and state laws and regulations. AMN Healthcare provides talent solutions and technologies on a contractual basis to its clients, who pay the company directly. Accordingly, Medicare, Medicaid and insurance reimbursement policy changes generally do not directly impact the company. Nevertheless, reimbursement changes in government programs, particularly Medicare and Medicaid, can and do indirectly affect the demand and prices paid for the company’s services. Zacks Rank & Key Picks
Currently, AMN Healthcare carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Some better-ranked stocks from the broader medical space are
Henry Schein, Inc. HSIC, IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. IDXX and HealthEquity, Inc. HQY.
Henry Schein’s long-term earnings growth rate is estimated at 13.9%. The company presently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see

2S), from tanks. X-VOCS incorporates a five-stage filtration system.
In the first three stages, a series of filters remove more than 95 percent of targeted particulates down to 0.3 microns. In the final two stages, carbon filtration beds remove remaining odours and volatiles. The X-VOCS system is ideal for new plants, and also is easily retrofittable into existing operations, with minimal modifications to the plant.
Further, when the X-VOCS technology is coupled with the company’s Blue Smoke Control system, emissions from hot-mix plants can be reduced to nearly zero, providing owners with the means to achieve the highest level of environmental stewardship. Implementation of this technology has been proven to virtually end calls from nearby neighbours regarding odour and visual emissions. Similar to X-VOCS, the Blue Smoke Control system is retrofittable with few plant modifications.
According to Mike Butler, president of Butler-Justice:
“We worked for many years to solve the odour and VOC issues associated with asphalt production. The patent-pending technology of X-VOCS can stand on its own, but it also combines well with our industry-standard Blue Smoke Control system to reduce both odour and blue smoke, which are some of the most common causes of neighbourhood and Air Quality Board issues.”
Blue Smoke Control division of Butler-Justice Inc. is a leading supplier of complete blue smoke control and odour control systems that eliminate both the blue haze typically found during the production of hot mix asphalt, as well as odour-causing VOCs.
With hundreds of successful installations in the continental United States and Hawaii, as well as Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Europe, Blue Smoke Control achieves the highest standards of emissions control, with reasonable initial investment costs and economical ongoing expenses.

Ginger bug is a homemade culture that can help you make naturally fermented sodas and other healthy cultured foods. Here’s how to make it.
You’ve probably heard of the health benefits of consuming probiotics, but did you know that the best source of probiotics is actually not supplements, but naturally fermented foods? Some natural health experts have theorized that the decline in fermented foods in the modern Western diet is part of the reason for the recent rise in modern diseases and other health issues.
The good news is, fermented foods are incredibly easy (and very safe) to make in your own kitchen! For example, this naturally fermented “ginger bug” is a super simple way to harness some of the healthy bacteria found in ginger root and in the air around you, and use it to create your own fermented sodas or other beverages. Not only will it add healthy probiotics, but it will also create natural carbonation to give your sodas that delicious sparkle!
I have been making ginger bug for a couple of years now, and I would add a couple of tips to the video below.
You don’t need to peel the ginger root at all if it is organic. In fact, some of the healthy bacteria that will colonize your culture are found on the peel, so if you can find organic ginger, use the whole thing, skin and all.
The video shows her adding ingredients to an already existing batch. If you are starting from scratch, you will need to add a bit more water – maybe half a cup or so. MAKE SURE your water is filtered or bottled, and contains NO chlorine, as this will kill your bacteria and you’ll end up with a rotten or moldy mess instead of good culture!
When you start a new batch, you should leave it out on the counter at room temperature to get the fermentation going for at least a few days. Once it starts bubbling, you can refrigerate and feed weekly.
If you have trouble with your bug not starting (e.g. it is still not bubbly after a week or so), try experimenting with the ratio of ingredients. I have found that sometimes I need to add a little bit more water to start the fermentation if it gets too thick.
Check out this quick video to see how easy it is to make your own ginger bug, and start fermenting natural sodas, hard ciders, and other yummy and healthy probiotic beverages!

Biden administration on Tuesday announced a new push to expand business ties between U.S. companies and Africa, with a focus on clean energy, health, agribusiness and transportation infrastructure on the continent.
Dana Banks, senior director for Africa at the White House National Security Council, told a conference that the administration planned to “re-imagine” and revive Prosper Africa, an initiative launched by the former administration as the “centerpiece of U.S. economic and commercial engagement with Africa.”
Travis Adkins, deputy assistant administrator for Africa at the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID), added: “We’re looking at the ways in which we (can) foster two-way trade, looking at mutually beneficial partnerships that work together to mobilize investment, create jobs, and … shared opportunities on both sides of the Atlantic.”
President Joe Biden, who requested nearly $80 million for the initiative in his budget proposal in May, aims to focus it on women and equity, with an expanded role for small- and medium-sized businesses, Banks said. The administration’s goal was to “reinvigorate Prosper Africa as the centerpiece of U.S. economic and commercial engagement with Africa,” she said.
“This is an area that is a priority both at home and abroad,” Banks told Reuters ahead of the conference, adding that African countries were eager to expand their cooperation with the United States.
U.S. business executives warn the United States is in danger of being overtaken by China and Europe, which are already investing and signing trade agreements across the continent.
“We can’t wait another year to devise an Africa policy; we need to be bold in our thinking,’ said Scott Eisner, resident of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s U.S.-Africa Business Center.
”We’ve committed as an institution to have over 50% of our investments focused on activities that combat climate change,” said Kyeh Kim, a senior official at Millennium Challenge Corporation, an independent U.S. foreign aid agency, said.

Flying at high altitude can dehydrate you pretty quickly so to stay fresh make sure you drink plenty of water. You don’t need to pay for water, just ask a crew member and they will get you one for free.
If you flight is delayed for more than a certain number of hours, the airline should provide you with free snacks and drinks. If it is delayed by a long time, you may also be eligible for compensation. Check out the policies on the company website or ask a member of staff if you are unsure.
Most airports have free charging points at the departure gate area. Take advantage of this and prepare yourself for the flight so that you have enough juice to watch your favorite movie or listen to your travel tracks.
Are you travelling for a celebration? Inform the staff and sometimes they give out freebies on the flight! The departure gate is also a great place to try your luck and ask the staff if there are any free upgrades available. All of the seats will have been paid for or taken by this point so if any are going spare you may get upgraded. If you don’t ask you don’t get!
This is one of the best flying tips for a nervous traveller. Take yourself to the duty free and ask for some samples of alcohol, most airports usually have a counter with a member of staff giving away free shots or tasters. This is a great free way to make you feel more relaxed for your flight. Don’t forget to stay hydrated and drink lots of water too!
Some airport tricks to help you skip long queues and be stress free: Pack thoughtfully – Pack your laptop and electronics so that they are easily accessible. Skip the queues – Go to the left of airport security, they tend to have the smaller queues. Grab a bag – Grab a few clear security bags, they are usually free and may come in handy later for packing items such as toiletries or food. Avoid a frisking – If you want to avoid being unnecessarily frisked, remember to remove jewelry and belts.
If you are a light packer then great, move on to the next flying tip, this one is for those who struggle to pack light. If you just managed to stuff everything you own into your luggage and find out at the check in desk that it weighs more than the allowance, a great travel tip is to take out some clothing, wear the extra layers and stuff your pockets (as long as there are no liquids or sharp objects).
These airport tricks will allow you to check in with ease: Arrive early – Allow extra time for long queues at the check in desk. Have your passport ready – Including your boarding card if you downloaded it on the app or printed it out before arriving. Ask for a free upgrade – Try your luck, you never know! Ask for seats together – If you haven’t checked in online and travelling as a group, ask at the check in desk for seats together.
This is one of the best flying tips around – Find a line of comfy chairs, put your feet up and make yourself at home! If you have an early morning flight, sleeping in the airport is a great way to save money. This is a top tip if you are travelling across multiple destinations or if you tried to book an airport hotel last minute but they are all fulled booked. For those who want to catch some rest while waiting around, some airports have ‘resting pods’ which is a state of the art chair with a fold flat bed inside. Really really tired and need some shut eye? Check if the airport has an accessible internal hotel. YotelAir in Schiphol airport, Amsterdam, is a hotel situated in departures where you can hire beds by the hour, take a monsoon shower or stay the night. A perfect way to refresh during your travels.
If you get sick of the airline movies, you can always whip out your own device and watch your pre-downloaded entertainment!

Lean Six Sigma is helping pharma manufacturers improve performance, increase operational efficiency and ensure quality By John Danese and Dennis Constantinou
First published in https://www.contractpharma.com/
The pharmaceutical industry, which is generally associated with precision and quality control, has in reality failed to keep up with other industries in terms of manufacturing efficiency and productivity, largely because of the cost and burden involved in revalidating any process changed in the spirit of improvement. Once manufacturers confirm or validate their processes as compliant, they traditionally have been very reticent to change them. The simple fact is that pharmaceutical manufacturers, which historically have enjoyed consistently robust profit margins, have had little economic incentive to introduce change.
The challenge Reduce Inefficiency and Waste
The industry's focus on maintaining the status quo in its manufacturing environment has produced inefficiency and waste. It is estimated that the potential worldwide cost savings from efficiency improvement could be as high as $90 billion. While R&D is generally considered a major cost center for the pharmaceutical industry, manufacturing quietly accounts for more than twice the expense of R&D -- representing 36% of a pharmaceutical manufacturer's costs, on average. The true cost of manufacturing becomes even more apparent when one considers the amount attributed to non-value-added activities and waste -- 80% and 50%, respectively.
Quality has also suffered under the status quo. The reject percentage in the pharmaceutical industry ranges from 5% to 10% (<2 Sigma), compared to 0.0001 (6 Sigma) in the semiconductor industry. This reject percentage costs the industry between $4.5 billion and $9.0 billion per year based on $90 billion/year spent on manufacturing.
A new era is dawning in the industry as pharmaceutical manufacturers increasingly focus on reducing operational costs while ensuring compliance. Cost pressures are intensifying as many pharmaceutical manufacturers see a dwindling product pipeline, as well as greater competition. To ensure that their bottom lines remain solid, pharmaceutical manufacturers are looking to increase the efficiency of their operational and manufacturing processes -- optimizing resources, improving efficiency, reducing waste and controlling inventory.
The solution Lean Six Sigma offers Pharma a Solution
Pharma manufacturers are now looking to Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma principles -- proven in other industries -- to help them boost operational efficiency and improve quality, while facilitating compliance.
While several important factors have converged in recent years to jumpstart substantial change in the pharmaceutical industry, the regulatory climate plays a significant role in how pharmas approach and manage their manufacturing operations. The FDA, in addition to other regulatory bodies, now supports approaches that seek to reduce risk by building quality into the manufacturing process from the start, as opposed to relying on end-process testing. Further, regulatory organizations have begun to endorse a "quality by design model" that contrasts with the industry's historical "quality by test" results approach. As part of this shift, the FDA launched its Process Analytical Technology (PAT) initiative, a risk-based guidance model that seeks to direct pharmaceutical manufacturers toward consistent and predictable quality (higher sigmas). The PAT approach is to build in quality improvements on the factory floor through a deep understanding of how variable process attributes affect product quality at a fundamental level.
The results Easier, Better Quality, On-time Delivery and Lower Costs
Pharmaceutical manufacturers are reaping the benefits that Lean Six Sigma practices can deliver to their organizations and the industry as a whole. To successfully transform their organizations, however, pharmaceutical manufacturers must gain greater visibility into their end-to-end operations and increasingly must look to integrated IT infrastructures to help them execute Lean Six Sigma paradigms and, ultimately, achieve new levels of operational efficiency, quality and corporate performance.

Solar energy is one of the most obvious forms of renewable energy to be harnessed. As long as the sun comes up in the morning, there’s a way to make electricity. Meanwhile, the technology being used to store this energy for use on less sunny days is becoming more robust by the day. As solar energy continues to become more advanced, our need for renewable energy also continues to grow desperately. President Joe Biden is wising up to these growing needs and solutions. His announcement today is doing well to lift solar power stocks.
This morning, the Biden administration is announcing its lofty ambition to transition America to a solar-heavy state. It plans to start America on the track to producing 45% of its energy as solar-sourced energy. For reference, just 4% of the energy produced by the country last year was solar. This is a significant jump, but it’s one that the administration believes is well within the realm of possibility.
The news comes at the tail end of a summer full of inclement weather events. With wildfires raging on the West Coast, Hurricane Ida tearing through Louisiana and up through the southeastern U.S., and torrential rain plaguing Europe, it’s quite obvious that climate change is an issue in need of addressing.
This sort of shift will require a huge restructuring of the energy industry over the next few years; solar installments will have to greatly increase in volume and speed in order to meet the goal by its 2050 deadline. The details behind this change are to be hashed out via the bipartisan infrastructure bill. The $3.5 trillion supplemental plan by Democrats will also hopefully help to advance progressive policy goals.
Solar Power Stocks Gain as Biden Looks to Expand on Green Energy
While details are on the horizon regarding how to finance and advance this goal, solar power stocks are already seeing a rise from the news.
iSun (NASDAQ: ) is moving up 7% on the news, while also seeing transaction volume for the day increase eightfold over the average. Meanwhile, ISUN First Solar(NASDAQ: ) stock is moving up over 2% and seeing 2.4 million shares trade against its 1.8 million average. FSLR
Other solar power stocks are not yet seeing benefits from the news.
Array Technologies (NASDAQ: ), for example, is trading down 6% this afternoon. ARRY SunPower(NASDAQ: ) is losing about 1.5%. Both of these stocks are trading under their daily averages. SPWR

It also gets far worse whenever one is offered the duty to show and there’s time period limit. And also this is simply fundamental writing. Composing for standard tests have also harder plus one may despair. ACT tests are simply all of the typical test that is standardized students simply just take. At only the reference to it, just about any one of these gets chills. Nevertheless, when approached into the way that is right in accordance with a confident mind-set, you can easily compose the essay nearly flawlessly.
This short article will highlight the best approaches you should use to write an ACT essay. We’ve broken them on to effortlessly tips that are digestible we realize you’ll understand easily. The main element to perfecting it, the same as every other ability, is through training and learning. You merely want to get a good model and research it extensively. We intend to protect one of the better models you need to use.
Tackling ACT Writing, Detail By Detail Guide
We intend to demonstrate ACT composing by way of a viable essay plan that happens to be modified to match into most ACT writing tests. The program includes a template that comprises of three sections, particularly, preparing, composing, and revising. We think that if you utilize this template, you’ll get to learn considerably faster and with an increase of accuracy. Your ACT essays will greatly enhance in quality and type.
Below is just a test prompt that individuals shall answer:
Smart Machines
An important number of items we rely on daily are heavily automatic and intelligent. They usually have changed the effort that is human was once used. a case that is practical be of construction lines. Robots are increasingly being utilized to create automobiles along with other services and products on construction lines. Conversations may also be mainly carried out by sophisticated machines in place of individuals. stores will also be getting automatic. Nowadays, shopping can be carried out effortlessly without much assistance from peoples cashiers.
The shift that is worldwide automation may be seen as an indicator of progress. It creates work easier and complements human being efforts in undertaking tasks. However, there clearly was an implication. Whenever devices are utilized, human being work is recognized as obsolete. Your time and effort that people were utilized to using in a variety of tasks doesn’t have bearing at all. This raises fundamental concerns such as for instance, what exactly is lost whenever individual work is maybe maybe maybe not used; so what does this loss suggest? Let’s give consideration to some views.
First Perspective: whenever a device or other as a type of technology is employed in the place of a person, there was something that is basically lost; mankind. Some element of our very own mankind is lost and changed. This also makes our day to day interactions that are social as our mankind goes along the drain. Values such as for instance courtesy, tolerance, and respect, no more have destination in daily encounters. Second Perspective: devices operate better than humans. They usually have ultimate accuracy whenever working at high rates and generally are also proficient at repeated skill that is low. Therefore, devices are efficient in a way; by virtue of employing low resources while attaining maximum output. They thus induce better results and much more success when you look at the modern globe. Third Perspective: Humans have constantly desired items that they could perceive using their sensory faculties. Hence, they may be believed to have a perception that is limited revolves around any aspect that they’ll hear, see, touch, style or feel. Nevertheless, utilizing the advent of devices, these perceptions are changing. The a few ideas, ideas, and jobs which were formerly held are increasingly being challenged. New a few ideas are forthcoming and also the type of mankind has been put in concern. Questions revolving around exactly exactly what mankind involves or it could be are surfacing. It has stimulated humans to simply accept brand new tips and look for brand new opportunities. Humans have actually also inspired to push devices to attain brand brand brand new heights that are unimagined.
Aided by the above views, write an essay in regards to the increasing usage of smart devices.
Stage 1: Preparation
Approximate time: 10 to 12 mins
Preparation can be a crucial device that is usually ignored whenever writing ACT essays. From our experience, it really is something which must certanly be done in the start of writing. It becomes cumbersome to prepare you take even longer to write your work as you write; making. It might appear unneeded in the reference to it, nonetheless, the effect it’s is immense. Preparation allows you to arrange ideas, a few ideas, and views before placing them to paper. It offers you the rationale and outline to be utilized whenever writing.

An employment service is a company that matches workers to companies. In many industrialized nations, there are currently multiple independently owned employment agencies which operate as legally authorized employment agencies and public employment agencies. These business go through an extensive recruiting procedure to carefully match candidates with appropriate companies. The entire procedure – from receiving applications to the speaking with of candidates and finally, the choice of the companies – can be completed within a short period of time. This is why lots of people nowadays choose to work through an employment service instead of approaching prospective companies straight. If you require assistance finding a job Resume Cheetah can help. They have professional recruiters prepared to find an employment for you.
Employment service normally work through worked with job placement agencies. The agencies worked with by the hiring manager (or whoever is in charge of recruitment in a specific business) then approach prospective candidates who satisfy particular certifications and are willing to handle an open position. When a company receives an application, it first takes a look at whether the candidate is received the job. If the business is convinced that the applicant fulfills the requirements for the job, it will call the job placement agency for further evaluation.
In order to learn if a prospect fits the job requirements, the employer needs to learn what kind of abilities the candidate has. To do this, the employer contacts prospective companies and collects relevant info about the job requirements. The job placement agency then analyzes these requirements, and the outcomes are shared in between the company and the agency. Based on the analysis, the agency will send its qualified candidate to the employing business. The agency then ensures that it targets candidates who will in fact satisfy the business’s career goals.
Many career placement agencies supply their services to business of all sizes. The larger business typically work with more staffing agencies, while small and medium-sized companies can also work with staffing agencies straight to finish the employing procedure. Some business, however, choose to work with small, local staffing agencies. They may do so because they can not afford to work with a full-time staff member for the momentary job opening.
Smaller agencies may also have more minimal resources compared to a larger company. The smaller agencies depend on extremely organized hiring efforts. Each recruitment job is appointed to an individual or team of people. Each member of the team fulfills routinely with the employer in order to update him or her on the progress of each prospective candidate. The employer takes care of investigating each prospective candidate, screening them, assessing their abilities, and resumes, and communicating with the candidate once the job publishing has been closed.
When the job-placement agencies have recognized a handful of candidates who match the business’s particular requirements, they hang around doing on-site interviews. Prospects who pass the interview procedure are welcomed to check out the employing office. This supplies the employing agency with an opportunity to learn more about the prospective workers much better prior to deciding on hiring them. During the check out, the workers will be given instructions on how to finish the job, such as completing the kinds and other documents, giving answers to talk to concerns, and signing the agreement provided by the business.
It is common for the job placement agencies to follow up with each prospective candidate once he or she checks out the office. This ensures that the very best candidates are recognized and the right people are gotten in touch with to schedule an in person interview. The agency then schedules a visit for the candidates to talk to at a regional office, which is mutually agreed upon in between the agency and the prospective company. The speaking with procedure sometimes goes further than this, specifically when the agency has a limited amount of money to invest in marketing the employment opportunity.
Something is for certain, job placement agencies are extremely valuable in finding appropriate candidates who are qualified to fill open positions. Their success lies mainly in the quality of the job applicant. A job placement agency assists the aspirant to find his/her dream career and begin working towards it. It is necessary to note, however, that there are some rip-offs online, so it pays to be watchful about the employment websites one chooses to use. A trustworthy job placement agency will ensure that its workers and the candidates it manages to have a high quality of work and will ensure that the customer’s needs are fulfilled. Make certain you check out Resume Cheetah as soon as possible to get your job quick.

The purpose of this article is to present practitioners and applied researchers with specific details of a developmental sport psychology program and coaching intervention at a professional football (soccer) academy in Great Britain. Based on a positive youth development agenda, initial consulting work with players and parents focused on education and monitoring of the 5Cs of football: Commitment, communication, concentration, control, and confidence. This was subsequently followed up with an educational and behavioral coaching intervention related to integrating the 5Cs in training and practice situations. The 4-month program aimed to specifically enhance a coach’s efficacy in shaping positive psychological and interpersonal skills in young players ranging in age from 9 to 14 years. Six coaches responsible for the development of 95 young players were involved in the program. The results of the intervention are presented for each individual coach and supplemented by interview data. Insights are provided into the role, value, and methodology behind applying sport psychology in youth-sport settings.

The present study forms the first of two progressive investigations into the development and activation of achievement goals within young sports performers. The focal research question in this paper centers on identifying and understanding some of the underlying factors and processes responsible for the socialization of goal orientations and the activation of goal involvement states in a competition context. In-depth interviews were conducted on seventeen elite junior tennis players who represented a full cross-section of achievement goal profiles. Following inductive content analyses, four general dimensions emerged demonstrating how the development and activation of task and ego goals rested on a complex interaction of cognitive-developmental and social-environmental factors. Specific general dimensions included cognitive developmental skills and experiences, the motivational climate conveyed by significant others, the structural and social nature of the game, and the match context. The rich detail within these dimensions serves not only to extend our knowledge of achievement goals and achievement goal theory, but also to inform practitioners of key components to effective social-cognitive interventions.

This study acts as a follow-up to a previous investigation into the development and activation of achievement goals within young tennis players (Harwood & Swain, 2001). The project investigated the effects of a season-long player, parent, and coach intervention program on goal involvement responses, self-regulation, competition cognitions, and goal orientations of three junior tennis players. First, each player reported goal involvement, self-regulation, self-efficacy, and perceptions of threat and challenge prior to three ego-involving match situations. Aligned with a matched control participant, each treatment player, with their parents and coach, engaged in educational sessions and cognitive-motivational tasks over a three-month competition and training period. Postintervention, positive directional changes were reported in all players except the control participant. This study reinforces to applied researchers and practitioners the importance and practicability of social-cognitive and task-based interventions designed to facilitate optimal, motivational, and psychological states in high pressure competitive situations.

Understanding the practitioner attributes that influence consumers’ preferences is of vital importance to licensing organizations and individual practitioners in the field of sport psychology (Hamberger & Iso-Ahola, 2006; Van Raalte, Brewer, Matheson & Brewer, 1996). This study examined consumer preferences toward three professional titles (sport psychologist, life coach, and neuro-linguistic programming practitioner) and a range of other practitioner characteristics, as well as the extent to which a brief intervention impacted these preferences. Following an assessment of current preferences among athletes (
N = 229), researchers presented brief, educational vignettes formed of enhanced information regarding the three professions. Conjoint analysis was used to determine the relative importance of practitioner attributes pre- and postintervention. Interpersonal skills emerged as the most important attribute before intervention. Several significant, postintervention changes emerged in consumer preferences for practitioners, including an increased salience of professional title. The findings are discussed with an emphasis on implications for the training, professional development, and marketing of practitioners to potential clients. Chris Harwood and Lew Hardy
In their response to our recent paper (Harwood, Hardy, & Swain, 2000), Treasure et al. (2001) claimed to have clarified our misconceptions and misrepresentations of achievement goal research. After first of all commenting on the apparently rather emotive nature of their response, we logically deal with each of their criticisms. Specifically, we present sound theoretical arguments to show that: (a) personal theories of achievement hold primacy over achievement goals; (b)
we are not “particularly confused” (or even a little confused) in our understanding of conceptions of ability; (c) there are excellent reasons for examining the possibility of a tripartite approach to goal orientation and goal involvement; and (d) the issue of measurement in achievement goal research needs to be carefully reconsidered. Further, in response to the status quo offered by Treasure and colleagues, we call for more innovative research that will help progress the impact of achievement goal theory in competitive sport.

This article describes a team building intervention with a soccer team during a competitive season. Based on a mutual sharing paradigm we facilitated a series of four team meetings in which team functioning was openly discussed. These meetings were based upon highly structured performance reviews completed by players after each match and analyzed to provide the stimulus for discussion. We adopted a single-case, time series design with multiple pretests and posttests. A postintervention focus group was also conducted with the players. Results suggest the intervention led to improvements in perceptions of team functioning (cohesion, communication, and trust and confidence in teammates), training quality, self-understanding, player ownership and team performance. Players associated the meetings with themes of honesty, open team discussion, sharing of information, and improved communication. The results support the efficacy of team building interventions designed to encourage open discussion of team functioning.

This article discusses issues surrounding the potential violation of sexual boundaries in sport psychology consultancy and critically evaluates the current state of knowledge in the field. Limited discussion and research relating to this ethical issue exists within sport psychology; the discussion that has occurred has mainly focused on erotic transference and countertransference (Andersen, 2005). Research and knowledge from clinical psychology, counseling psychology, and psychotherapy proffers ideas for discussion and research into the factors that precipitate sexual boundary violations. The relevance of the controversial practice of touch as a therapeutic tool and a stimulus for sexual boundary violations is considered, alongside implications for the training of neophyte practitioners through role-playing, peer support, and supervision.

This article describes an intervention on the precompetition routines of soccer players during a 19-week phase of a competitive season. Specifically, we worked with players to develop an enhanced understanding of the effectiveness of personalized preperformance music and imagery scripts in facilitating flow states and performance. Five male players (
M age = 20.5; S.D = 1.6) participated in a single-subject multiple baseline across individuals design with multiple treatments and without reversal. Following a preintervention phase, participants undertook the intervention during their prematch warm-up. Flow and perceived performance were assessed immediately after each match. Results indicated that asynchronous music and MG-M imagery when combined had a facilitative effect on flow and perceived performance. Postexperimental player comments supported these findings and suggest that the intervention strategy has great potential for athletes during precompetition. Consultancy guidelines for the use of music and imagery within competitive soccer are presented in the discussion. Chris G. Harwood and Sam N. Thrower
The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive narrative review of extant scientific knowledge on the effectiveness of performance-enhancement-based interventions in youth sport settings. Specifically, the authors explore the effects of psychological interventions on the sport performance of young athletes (18 yr of age or under). Drawing on over 80 published studies that have attempted to enhance young athletes’ performances using a range of methodological and strategic approaches, four main clusters of research are presented. These clusters include single-strategy psychological-skills-training (PST) interventions, multimodal PST interventions, alternative single-strategy interventions, and alternative multimodal interventions. In each of these clusters, the landscape of work is overviewed and papers of particular methodological interest are highlighted before the authors draw out critical reflections, future research directions, and recommendations for supporting further scholarship and practice with young athletes.

This article presents a critical analysis of the conceptualization and measurement of achievement goals in sport. It highlights conceptual and measurement inconsistencies of Nicholls’s (1984) achievement-goal theory in education with respect to its applicability to sport. It proposes that differentiation between ability and effort does not underpin the activation of task and ego goal perspectives in a sport performance context and that the definitions of task and ego involvement in the classroom might not generalize to sport. It offers an alternative conceptual approach incorporating three goal perspectives, as both a theoretical and a practical solution. It addresses goal involvement in sport performance contexts by emphasizing the value of assessing self-referent and normative conceptions of achievement at different time frames. Overall, this critique attempts to advance our understanding of both achievement goals and individual performers in the competitive sport domain.

How will the Biden Administration impact cannabis issues in the United States? As Democrats prepare to replace Republicans in many influential Executive Branch posts, Americans speculate about the possibility of changes in federal cannabis policy. Currently, some 36 states permit the use of marijuana for specific medical reasons. Another 15 states have passed state laws decriminalizing adult marijuana use.
A President Opposed to Cannabis Legalization?
Outgoing President Donald Trump has vehemently opposed any federal legalization of marijuana. In 2018, he rescinded a controversial memorandum issued by President Obama instructing federal prosecutors not to interfere with state marijuana directives. Yet, despite his public posture, he did not take any direct action to compel state governments to abide by federal cannabis laws. In fact, the number of states allowing marijuana usage actually increased during his tenure in office.
Most political analysts view President Biden as unlikely to take a firmer anti-cannabis position than his predecessor. During his period of service in the United States Senate some years ago, he did not support pro-cannabis legalization. In fact, he voted in favor of tough federal criminal penalties against drug dealers. Although recent statements suggest he may have modified his position concerning criminal penalties for marijuana possession, he may well veto legislation seeking to decriminalize cannabis.
A Changing Legislative Landscape
Last year, the MORE Act sought to decriminalize marijuana and expunge criminal records for cannabis-related crimes at the federal level. Although the bill passed in the House of Representatives, it did not obtain widespread support in the Senate. The recent election of two Democrats to the United States Senate from Georgia may have significantly changed the prospects for cannabis legalization, however.
During the next two years, Democrats will control the Executive Branch, the House of Representatives, and the Senate. Republicans opposed to measures removing cannabis from the federal list of controlled substances may find themselves unable to prevent the MORE Act (or similar measures) from passing in the Senate. A recent referendum in South Dakota has demonstrated even in very red states, marijuana may rapidly proceed from an illicit drug to a legal adult-use status. As cannabis trade industry groups gain strength, lobbyists may soon begin changing more opinions on Capitol Hill.
Shifts in Public Opinion
Indeed, a sea change in public opinion since the turn of the century may herald looming modifications in federal cannabis policy. The Motley Fool reports only one in four Americans supported legalizing marijuana during the final quarter of the Twentieth Century. By 2018, after a number of states had enacted adult cannabis use laws, that number ticked upwards to more than one out of every two voters (66%). Interestingly, Canada has already taken the step of legalizing marijuana at a national level. Will the United States shortly follow suit?
Vice President Kamala Harris has already modified her position on the issue, for example. One a vocal supporter of incarcerating drug dealers, she reportedly has advocated the decriminalization of cannabis. During one recent presidential debate, nine of eleven Democrats running for president in 2020 issued public statements favoring legalization. If the opinion of Vice President Harris carries weight with President Biden, might it incline him to sign the MORE Act if that legislation ever reaches his desk?
Economic Considerations
Americans may remember Prohibition ended during the Great Depression. Alcoholic beverages generated significant revenue for financially hard-hit businesses (and for taxing authorities). In light of the economic hardship accompanying the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, will cannabis witness a similar return to legal acceptance?
Some factors suggest a fledgling marijuana industry might boost the U.S. economy during a period of widespread financial challenges. Economists point out financial, marketing, and branding aspects of a legal cannabis trade might well create jobs. President Biden has expressed an interest in stimulating the economy during the next two years. Yet whether Democrats in Congress and the Executive Branch will view legalizing marijuana as a step towards this goal remains unclear at this time.

Starburst galaxies, active galactic nuclei and tidal disruption events (from left) have emerged as top candidates for the dominant source of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays.
In the 1930s, the French physicist Pierre Auger placed Geiger counters along a ridge in the Alps and observed that they would sometimes spontaneously click at the same time, even when they were up to 300 meters apart. He knew that the coincident clicks came from cosmic rays, charged particles from space that bang into air molecules in the sky, triggering particle showers that rain down to the ground. But Auger realized that for cosmic rays to trigger the kind of enormous showers he was seeing, they must carry fantastical amounts of energy — so much that, he wrote in 1939, “it is actually impossible to imagine a single process able to give to a particle such an energy.”
Upon constructing larger arrays of Geiger counters and other kinds of detectors, physicists learned that cosmic rays reach energies at least 100000 times higher than Auger supposed.
A cosmic ray is just an atomic nucleus — a proton or a cluster of protons and neutrons. Yet the rare ones known as “ultrahigh-energy” cosmic rays have as much energy as professionally served tennis balls. They’re millions of times more energetic than the protons that hurtle around the circular tunnel of the Large Hadron Collider in Europe at 99.9999991% of the speed of light. In fact, the most energetic cosmic ray ever detected, nicknamed the “Oh-My-God particle,” struck the sky in 1991 going something like 99.99999999999999999999951% of the speed of light, giving it roughly the energy of a bowling ball dropped from shoulder height onto a toe. “You would have to build a collider as large as the orbit of the planet Mercury to accelerate protons to the energies we see,” said Ralph Engel, an astrophysicist at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany and the co-leader of the world’s largest cosmic-ray observatory, the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina.

Pregnancy After Bariatric Surgery
Obesity can have an impact on one’s ability to conceive. Research suggests that the higher your BMI (body mass index), the longer it takes for a woman to conceive.
Being obese can also pose serious health issues for the mother and the baby. It increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, gestational diabetes, cardiac dysfunction, sleep apnea, and the need for C-section and its potential complications.
This is why obese women are recommended to lose weight if they want to conceive healthily. However, this isn’t easy for everyone.
For those who have failed attempts to lose weight through traditional means (i.e. exercise and diet), bariatric surgery is highly recommended. Our Bariatric Surgeon,
Dr. Mark Colquitt of Foothills Weight Loss Surgeons in Knoxville, TN, wants you to understand your options for bariatric surgery that will give you a better outcome for conceiving. Bariatric Surgery and Pregnancy Outcomes Bariatric surgery is an effective weight loss tool. It’s the only weight loss solution recommended by doctors for morbidly obese patients who are struggling to lose weight.
Losing weight before pregnancy increases one’s chance of becoming pregnant. Studies have also shown that weight loss before pregnancy may lower the risks of women and their babies’ of obesity-related problems. This includes gestational diabetes, blood pressure disorders, postpartum hemorrhage, newborns who are large for their gestational ages, and Cesarean delivery.
Pregnancy after weight loss surgery Many women wonder if it’s safe to get pregnant after weight loss surgery. The answer is yes, it’s safe to get pregnant after weight loss surgery. However, it is recommended that you wait for at least 12 to 18 months after surgery and once your weight has stabilised before getting pregnant. Post-surgery diet and pregnancy Pregnancy after weight loss surgery involves multidisciplinary care. It’s important that you talk to your bariatric team and OB/midwife to find out the kind of vitamin supplements you need. Pregnancy-specific vitamin and mineral supplements vary, depending on the bariatric procedure you had.
When it comes to the amount of food, you don’t need to eat extra food during the first two trimesters as the baby takes what they need for growth from you. However, in the third trimester, you may need extra 200 calories.
Weight gain concerns during pregnancy Weight gain is different for everyone during pregnancy. You may gain some weight, but you have to take into account that this weight gain can be due to many factors including the amniotic fluid that surrounds your baby, the placenta, and the increase in size of your breasts, muscles, and bones.
If this is an ongoing concern for you, it’s best to talk to your bariatric team. If you’re having a healthy, normal pregnancy, they may still recommend exercising. Exercise doesn’t just help you stay within a healthy weight range; it can also reduce the aches and pains during pregnancy and labor as well as reduce your risk of pregnancy-related complications.
You may also want to talk to your bariatric team to help you plan for healthy eating.
At
Foothills Weight Loss Surgeons in Knoxville, TN, we offer ongoing support to all our bariatric patients. Before bariatric surgery, patients are required to watch our FREE online info session so they have a better understanding of the surgery process. You can register to watch the online seminar here. Foothills Weight Loss Surgeons is part of Premier Surgical Bariatrics in Knoxville,Tennessee. Foothills is affiliated with the Fort Sanders Regional Center for Bariatric Surgery, part of Covenant Health Bariatric Services.

Salmon salad is a favorite of mine. I enjoy almost any kind of salmon dish, be it the classic salmon bagel, salmon with spaghetti, salmon with rice, salmon with vegetables, salmon pizza, or even salmon with salad. Salmon is very healthy, low in fat, and packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for heart health. Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids are the building blocks of all healthy fats. Some omega 3 fatty acids also have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to prevent common illnesses. Salmon, in particular, is a rich source of B12. B12 is a critical nutrient that helps with the production of red blood cells and is vital for maintaining a healthy immune system.
Salmon is one of those fish that’s as popular as it is delicious. But if you’ve been eating it, chances are you’ve been swallowing it whole and without much thought. But why not find out how to tame this popular fish and make it taste as good as it looks? This recipe for salmon salad with avocado dressing will show you how to achieve that.

Private jets have many advantages over commercial aircraft, but are they also quieter?
Typically, private jets are quieter than commercial planes both inside and out. The engines on a commercial plane are much more powerful and can generate sound levels up to 140 decibels and can be heard from miles away on the ground.
Read on to learn more about the noise pollution created by aircraft and how private jets fit into the debate.
The Noisy Argument
Although great strides have undoubtedly been made in the field of aviation, one area still remains unconquered. We may have aircraft that can travel thousands of miles, carry hundreds of people, or be deeply luxurious, but we don’t really have any that are
quiet.
Throughout the years, efforts have been made to lower the offensive sound levels of aircraft in the sky, and on the ground. However, the majority of these efforts concern military aircraft, such as spy planes.
It’s not hard to imagine why spy planes would need to be quiet, but what about commercial planes? It’s estimated that at any one time, there can be as many as twenty thousand planes in the sky, and the majority of them are commercial planes.
These planes will be taking off and landing from centralized hubs, and international or domestic airports. Now, most of the airports are located near residential areas, or their designated flight paths will travel over the top of said areas.
This obviously leaves the door open for
a lot of noise pollution to come creeping in. It’s suggested that commercial planes can have sound levels that reach (or sometimes exceed) 140 decibels.
This fact makes commercial airliners some of the loudest
things on the planet, not too far behind a literal rocket launch. At around 130 decibels, the human body ceases to resist the pain of the sound, and your hearing is intensely threatened.
However, while NASA and the like are working on methods and engineering innovations to quieten aircraft engines, it likely won’t happen any time soon. The matter of fact is, these engines are just so powerful and have to generate so much thrust, that it’s almost impossible to silence them.
It has been an ongoing problem and debate for decades, especially as air travel has grown exponentially in popularity. Organizations like the NCBI rate aircraft noise as one of the most detrimental environmental effects in the world.
Private: More Luxury, Less Noise
Although private jets are still quite loud, they don’t come close to commercial planes on the volume scale. However, it’s worth establishing that that is a
general rule, and there are of course exceptions to that case.
It’s a common enough occurrence for commercial planes to be converted into private planes – it happens everywhere. For example, Air Force One, which is considered one of the most valuable private planes on Earth, is a converted Boeing 747-200B.
This plane is enormous and is equipped with four massive turbine engines that generate a staggering amount of noise. Therefore, you have a private jet that
isn’t quieter than commercial.
For the most part, though, your typical private jet will be much quieter than a commercial plane for a few reasons. They’re smaller, require less engine power and thrust to fly, and tend to be a little more aerodynamic.
Further, the owners of said private jets are much more likely to spend out the big bucks to make their flight as comfortable as possible. This includes engineering marvels that go
a little way to making the engines quieter.
As we mentioned earlier, private jets are quieter not just on the outside, but on the inside as well. They’re much better when it comes to sound insulation, and you’ll often have no issues holding a private conversation inside them.
We can use the Gulfstream G650 as an example; a massively popular and capable twin-engine private jet. The innovations behind this aircraft have produced one of the quietest cabins in aviation history.
It’s estimated that when in flight, there are less than 50 decibels of outside noise detectable inside the cabin. The cabin itself was partly designed by acoustics experts who also specialized in making super-silent submarines.
However, the Gulfstream G650 has a price tag of around sixty-five million dollars. If you have your sights set on a luxurious, exclusive, and quiet flying experience, it’s very likely to be worth the expenditure.
On the other hand, if money is a little tight, you’ll have to stick with the over-loud commercial planes, and maybe take some earplugs.

Data released by the Labor Department this morning show that last month, 61.6 percent of the working-age population were active in the labor force, either working in jobs or looking for them. That is essentially unchanged from the summer of 2020.
The second most significant statistic is that wages are soaring. In May, average wages grew at a 6.1 percent annual rate. In April, they grew at an 8.7 percent annual rate.
Combined, these two statistics tell much of the story of the economy this spring: Employers are boosting wage offers in order to attract and retain workers, who are increasingly difficult to attract and retain. This is a situation you’d expect with employers’ demand for workers growing much faster than workers are returning to the labor market. Labor demand is booming, and labor supply is not keeping up.
Here is more from Michael Strain.
In 2000 nearly a third of the combined value of the world’s 1,000 biggest listed firms was in Europe, and a quarter of their profits. In just 20 years those figures have fallen by almost half. Europe is a place for companies such as Amazon and TikTok to find customers, not a base for local firms to conquer the world…
Of the world’s 142 listed firms worth over $100bn, 43 were set up from scratch in the past half-century, 27 in America and ten in China. Only one was in Europe: sap, a German software group founded in 1972. Half of Europe’s richest ten billionaires inherited fortunes spawned long ago; in America nine of the top ten are wealthy solely because of companies they founded.
Here is more from The Economist. This is all the more reason for the United States to boost allowed emigration from the European Union. It is also an object lesson in which are the true barriers to trade, often including language, culture, and national borders, even in the presence of (nearly) free trade.

Nearly a year ago, I wrote Frequent, Fast, and Cheap is Better than Sensitive, arguing for rapid antigen tests:
A number of firms have developed cheap, paper-strip tests for coronavirus that report results at-home in about 15 minutes but they have yet to be approved for use by the FDA because the FDA appears to be demanding that all tests reach accuracy levels similar to the PCR test. This is another deadly FDA mistake.
See also my posts Infected versus Infectious and Rapid Tests. The EMA and then the FDA finally did start approving these tests. So how well are they working? Pretty damn well. Canada has two innovative programs. First, in Nova Scotia pop-up clinics have been using rapid tests for asymptomatic people:
During the third wave that hit Nova Scotia over the past month, the province’s community rapid testing centres have correctly sniffed out at least 285 COVID-19 cases in asymptomatic people, or about 10 per cent of all confirmed cases in this time period, according to the Nova Scotia Health Authority.
While most provinces reserve testing only for symptomatic people or close contacts of a case, Nova Scotia’s pop-up centres allow asymptomatic people to simply show up and get a rapid test for free, with results sent to them within an hour. The whole process relies largely on volunteers without a health-care background.
Furthermore, the true number of cases credited to rapid testing is probably much higher. When a rapid test correctly identifies a positive case, the person’s close contacts such as their family get PCR lab tests that don’t show up in the rapid test statistics.
Lisa Barrett, an infectious diseases specialist and the driving force behind the rapid testing program, said it’s hard to say for certain, but taken altogether it’s possible rapid antigen testing has helped Nova Scotia find up to 18 per cent of all cases during the third wave.
“This is the early detection system,” Barrett said. Rapid testing tends to catch people early on in their infection when they’re full of virus, meaning positive cases are found and put into isolation fast — likely days before they would have been found with a PCR test, if they were found at all.
Michael Mina argues that since the rapid antigen detected cases are among the most infectious cases, detecting these cases is probably worth half of all the PCR testing.
Second, Canada’s CDL Rapid Screening Consortium is now in 200 sites with 50 large companies and rapidly expanding. A very interesting, just published paper in The Lancet runs an experiment that suggests that these testing regimes can work. The experiment rapidly tested 1000 people and the negatives were then randomly assigned either to be sent-home to conduct their regular life or to attend a multi-hour concert with masks but also singing, dancing, alcohol and no-social distancing. After 8 days there were two infections in the at-home group and no infections in the Concert group which suggests that this type of rapid testing can be used to open and keep-open concerts, schools, universities, airplanes and workplaces.
What’s the point of testing now that we have vaccines? Two reasons. First, most of the world still hasn’t been vaccinated so testing will be a very useful stop-gap measure until vaccination is more widely distributed. Indeed, the success of these programs shows what we lost by not acting more quickly a year ago. Second, although the pandemic is (essentially) over in the United States (as predicted) there will likely be an uptick in the fall among the unvaccinated and you want rapid tests to be available rapidly in hot-spots. In other words, rapid deployment of rapid tests will help us to avoid outbreaks in the future.
I think this episode came off as “weird and testy,” as I described it to one friend, but I like weird and testy! Here is the audio, video, and transcript. Here is one excerpt:
COWEN:How do you think the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics relates to the view that, just in terms of space, the size of our current universe is infinite, and therefore everything possible is happening in it?
DEUTSCH:It complicates the discussion of probability, but there’s no overlap between that notion of infinity and the Everettian notion of infinity, if we are infinite there, because the differentiation(as I prefer to call what used to be called splitting) — when I perform an experiment which can go one of two ways, the influence of that spreads out. First, I see it. I may write it down; I may write a scientific paper. When I write a paper about it and report the results, that will cause the journal to split or to differentiate into two journals, and so on. This influence cannot spread out faster than the speed of light.
So an Everett universe is really a misnomer because what we see in real life is an Everett bubble within the universe. Everything outside the bubble is as it was; it’s undifferentiated, or, to be exact, it’s exactly as differentiated as it was before. Then, as the bubble spreads out, the universe becomes or the multiverse becomes more differentiated, but the bubble is always finite.
COWEN:How do your views relate to the philosophical modal realism of David Lewis?
DEUTSCH:There are interesting parallels. As a physicist, I’m interested in what the laws of physics tell us is so, rather than in philosophical reasoning about things, unless they impinge on a problem that I have. So yes, I’m interested in, for example, the continuity of the self — whether, if there’s another version of me a very large number of light-years away in an infinite universe, and it’s identical, is that really me? Are there two of me, one of me? I don’t entirely know the answer to that. It’s why I don’t entirely know the answer to whether I would go in a Star Trektransporter.
The modal realism certainly involves a lot of things that I don’t think exist — at least, not physically. I’m open to the idea that nonphysical things do exist: like the natural numbers, I think, exist. There’s a difference between the second even prime, which doesn’t exist, and the infinite number of prime numbers, which I think do exist. I think that there is more than one mode of existence, but the theory that all modes of existence are equally real — I see no point in that. The overlap between Everett and David Lewis is, I think, more coincidental than illuminating.
COWEN:If the universe is infinite and if David Lewis is correct, should I feel closer to the David Lewis copies of me? The copies or near copies of me in this universe? Or the near copies of me in the multiverse? It seems very crowded all of a sudden. Something whose purpose was to be economical doesn’t feel that way to me by the end of the metaphysics.
DEUTSCH:It doesn’t feellike that to you. . . . Well, as Wittgenstein is supposed to have said (I don’t know whether he really did), if it were true, what wouldit feel like? It would feel just like this.
Much more at the link. And:
COWEN:Are we living in a simulation?
DEUTSCH:No, because living in a simulation is precisely a case of there being a barrier beyond which we cannot understand. If we’re living in a simulation that’s running on some computer, we can’t tell whether that computer is made of silicon or iron, or whether it obeys the same laws of computation, like Turing computability and quantum computability and so on, as ours. We can’t know anything about the physics there.
Well, we can know that it is at least a superset of our physics, but that’s not saying very much; it’s not telling us very much. It’s a typical example of a theory that can be rejected out of hand for the same reason that the supernatural ones — if somebody says, “Zeus did it,” then I’m going to say, “How should I respond? If I take that on board, how should I respond to the next person that comes along and tells me that Odin did it?”
COWEN:But it seems you’re rejecting an empirical claim on methodological grounds, and I get very suspicious. Philosophers typically reject transcendental arguments like, “Oh, we must be able to perceive reality, because if we couldn’t, how could we know that we couldn’t perceive reality?” It doesn’t prove you can perceive reality, right?
And this:
COWEN:A few very practical questions to close. Given the way British elections seem to have been running, that the Tories win every time, does that mean the error-correction mechanism of the British system of government now is weaker?
DEUTSCH:No. Unfortunately, the — so, as you probably know, I favor the first-past-the-post system in the purest possible form, as it is implemented in Britain. I think that is the most error-correcting possible electoral system, although I must add that the electoral system is only a tiny facet of the institutions of criticism and consent. In general, it’s just a tiny thing, but it is the best one.
It’s not perfect. It has some of the defects of, for example, proportional representation. Proportional representation has the defect that it causes coalitions all the time. Coalitions are bad.
COWEN:You have a delegated monitor with the coalition, right? With a coalition, say in the Netherlands (which is richer than the United Kingdom), you typically have coalition governments. Some parties in the coalition are delegated monitors of the other parties. Parties are better informed than voters. Isn’t that a better Popperian mechanism for error correction?
I also tried to sum up what I think he is all about, and he reacted with scorn. That was an excellent part of the conversation. And here is a good Twitter thread from Michael Nielsen about the Conversation.
Often yes, but this is a shibboleth of economics that doesn’t always fit the facts, as has been illustrated starkly by our behaviors during the pandemic. Many people have taken too much risk, or been too risk-averse, even with high stakes on the line. Here is one excerpt from my recent Bloomberg column:
You might wonder why we are getting these big, important decisions so wrong. I have at least two hypotheses. One is that anxiety causes people to make worse decisions. Facing the danger of a deadly pandemic, for example, the higher stakes might induce me to shift into denial, if only to protect my sanity and peace of mind. I might make worse decisions than if I were simply trying to avoid the common cold, for which the stakes are far lower.
My other hypothesis involves identity and the desire for belonging. It is no accident that red states in the U.S. are under-vaccinated relative to blue states; vaccine skepticism is in part an identity marker for Trump supporters. People tend to see big decisions as more important in shaping their identity than small ones. In essence, the significance of a decision induces all kinds of surrounding social forces to “infect” that decision with partisan influences, and that decision in turn becomes a truly credible signal of what we believe.
For most economic decisions, people do still make better choices when the stakes are higher — but this isn’t a universal principle. Are you so sure, for example, that decisions about who to marry are made more rationally than those about which TV show to watch? Maybe they are, but it’s not entirely obvious.
Note that it is now much easier to make good small stakes decisions, largely because of the internet:
An accompanying change is that low-stakes decisions are easier than ever, due largely to the internet, with one crucial caveat:
The decision-maker must be relatively rational. Several decades ago, if you wanted to figure out the best paper towels to buy, you might have asked around and then collated a lot of information yourself. These days it is easy enough to search the internet for the answer. Or consider the example of credit-card rewards, which are far easier to collect, manipulate and use because of the internet.
The danger of course is that the sum of all these smaller triumphs convinces people that they are rational about big dilemmas too — despite the fact that they choose rather poorly on some of them. We are not used to a world where we are worse at big decisions than the small ones. But it has been hurtling our way for some while now.
Recommended. I also cite this: “Bryan Caplan, a colleague who studies human rationality, has put the individual Covid response in only the
second percentile of “my initially mediocre expectations.””
This paper investigates the role of individualism in charitable giving. Individualistic societies are those that value individual fulfillment, personal responsibility, and relationships with those outside one’s in-group. Though critics suggest individualism undermines virtues such as generosity, we consider contrary mechanisms first developed in the tradition of classical political economy, especially the “doux commerce” hypothesis (Hirschman 1982), which posits that self-interested pursuit of gains through trade has broader, usually positive, effects on the attitudes and behavior (Matson 2020). Originating in French Enlightenment–era works—especially Montesquieu (1777a, XX.2)—and later found in Mandeville (1988 [1714]), Smith (1982 [1759]), and Hume (1994 [1742]), these arguments fell out of favor within mainstream economics for much of the twentieth century (Boettke 1997). But interest in these works has reemerged alongside growing interest in endogenous preferences (Bowles 1998) and the cultural dimensions of economic activity and as experimental evidence identifying success in trade as a cause of prosocial conduct has accumulated (Smith and Wilson 2019).
…To test our hypotheses, we use evidence from a large cross-section of countries and several measures of individualism, including Hofstede’s (2001) individualism-collectivism index, the index of survival versus self-expression from the World Values Survey (WVS) (Inglehart and Oyserman 2004), and measures of generalized tolerance. Each represents a quantitative measure of culture, or what David Hume referred to as national character (Sent and Kroese 2020). Our empirical results show that individualism is indeed associated with charitable giving, as is economic freedom. The results support the argument of classical liberals thatcommercial society and the social and cultural institutions that support it are sources of the common good.

That is from the new and excellent An Illustrated Business History of the United States, by Richard Vague. How many of you really know everything that is in here? In that same year Buffalo was the tenth largest U.S. city. And the most valuable import around that time (1891-1900) was sugar, with coffee #2 and “Hides and skins” #3.

Really enjoyed your conversation with Mark [Carney] (as usual). I give him a B+ on his views on CBDCs. He gets credit for understanding that if nothing is done, then digitization means a disappearance of public money in the economy except for the banks. This has a lot of consequences, most of which are bad. There is no access for the unbanked, higher fees, lower privacy and more credit risk throughout the system.
Where Mark goes astray is by mentioning this oft proposed two-tier model for CBDCs, which is just a fallacy. Fiat money is a liability, and each unit can either be a liability of a central bank or commercial bank, it can’t be both. So if the Fed issues a digital dollar to the banks, and the banks issue private claims to their customers, we haven’t achieved anything, other than maybe a marginally better RTGS system. A real CBDC means the public can hold direct claims against the central bank, as it does today with cash.
Now, this is the point at which the skeptics say “what about disintermediation of the banks?” To that I say: so what? If lending via depository institutions (as opposed to via the bond market, money markets, etc) is a good, then the market will adjust to provide it. One way to think about the existing two-tier model is that savers are forced to subsidize borrowers. E.g., I want to make payments, so I have to open a checking account, for which the bank pays me no interest. The same model will exist with CBDCs, it’s just that banks will have to pay higher interest to attract deposits, or offer other value-added services.
CBDCs also allow lending via DeFi, which is more price efficient for savers and borrowers, so that will offset any increase in borrowing costs.
NYTimes: On average, people in more individualist countries donate more money, more blood, more bone marrow and more organs. They more often help others in need and treat nonhuman animals more humanely. If individualism were equivalent to selfishness, none of this would make sense.
…individualism promotes a more universalist outlook. In focusing on individual rights and welfare, it reduces the emphasis on groups — and the differences between “us” and “them” that notoriously erode generosity toward those outside one’s own circle.
We study how search frictions in the labor market affect firms’ ability to recruit talented workers. In a field experiment in Ethiopia, we show that an employer can attract more talented applicants by offering a small monetary incentive for making a job application. Estimates from a structural model suggest that the intervention is effective because the cost of making a job application is large, and positively correlated with jobseeker ability. We provide evidence that this positive correlation is driven by dynamic selection. In a second experiment, we show that local recruiters underestimate the positive impacts of application incentives.
That is from a new AER piece by Girum Abebe, A. Stefano Caria, and Esteban Ortiz-Ospina. I find this claim very interesting, though not completely general. You will note these results are for clerical positions in Ethiopia, and note further “The impact of ability of application incentives is driven by women, and by those jobseekers who are currently unemployed and less-experienced.” It is possible that the ease of application improves the applicant pool for those with a confidence gap, yet who are talented nonetheless. I might add that the easy nature of the Emergent Ventures application (it really doesn’t take long and requires no reference letters or vita) reflects a similar logic.
In the context of this study, it is not just that some of the higher quality candidates apply for the money, rather the money is also a signal that the application process truly is open. Otherwise why pay for applicants?
That said, for jobs or awards that are more creative than just clerical labor, you want to give each application close scrutiny and that may militate against encouraging more and more applicants. You might even want “knowing to apply in the first place” to be the biggest test standing before the final prize. What better way to test for networks?
So the mix of “hard to know about at all, easy to apply once you do” will in fact fit some situations fairly well.
I was curious about if banks had many use cases for stablecoins, so I talked to [redacted] who works at a nationwide bank that focuses on small business lending. The use case he mentioned was that sometimes they need cash very quickly to stay within their requirements but wires are slow and cumbersome. If you could use a crypto network, the settlement time in minutes would be a big advantage.
The mechanics don’t quite work out because they would also want to use a product that does not change valuations compared to dollars. Stabecoins should fit the bill, but to transfer stablecoins from one bank account to another you would have to wire or ACH someone like Coinbase, do the transaction on chain, then withdraw the money from coinbase. So it would not be fast.
It is possible to imagine where every bank has their own stablecoin backed by US dollars they hold 1:1. It’d be like the days of banks issuing their own gold back notes. If Alice Bank needed more USD, they could borrow from Bob Bank. The actual mechanism might be that Bob Bank uses cash reserves to instantly create USDB and sends the USDB to Alice Bank’s wallet. Alice Bank then goes to Uniswap and trades USDB for their own USDA stablecoin. Alice Bank then retires those stablecoins and releases cash from their stablecoin cash reserves into their general fund. Any customer of Alice Bank or Bob Bank could do this same transaction with other bank customers to have cash faster than an ACH.
Can this happen today? Uniswap 3.0 is a leap forward for adding liquidity for automated market making and is especially beneficial for stablecoin transactions. There are practical limits on small transaction sizes and very large transaction sizes. The biggest practical transaction is limited by liquidity in the trading pools. Uniswap 3.0 should make this much larger than previous automated market makers, the actual amount depends on how much liquidity the market makers provide. The smallest size is limited by fees. Uniswap is launching Layer 2 scaling very soon, but the scaling is optimistic roll ups that utilize fraud proofs. If the banks were only transacting in Layer 2 this would not be a problem, but with fraud proofs it can take one week to take funds out of Layer 2 into the main Layer 1 chain. ZK-SNARK based roll ups would fix this, allowing instant settlement, and are progressing rapidly, but aren’t available yet. Blockchain technologies are still somewhat immature for this use case, but that capability is rapidly approaching.
Banks are so regulated they may not want to get involved without regulators giving them a nod. If the government favors a digital dollar, they may not want to give that nod. I think China has made its preference clear. They want a digital yuan and independent crypto networks will be subordinated. Very soon governments and central banks might have a choice between writing 100 pages of regulation that clarify standards for registered banks creating stablecoins and de facto creating a digital dollar system or embarking on a very large project to create their own digital dollar that requires much more work and owning implementation risk.
Will be fun to watch!
Fractional dosing has the potential to massively increase the supply of COVID vaccine. The Moderna Phase I clinical trial and Pfizer Phase I/II trials already indicated a substantial immune response with smaller doses but the vaccine companies are under-incentivized to run additional fractional dosing trials (they won’t gain trillions, at best they will gains billions and might even lose some profit) and governments and private organizations are not picking up the ball. There are just two small trials underway that I am aware of:
Sciensano, the national public health institute of Belgium, is running a trial on a 2/3rd fractional dose of the Pfizer vaccine. (I think they were previously going to also study Moderna but now seem to have dropped that arm.) Johnson and Johnson is trying a .3 mil dose as opposed to a 0.5 mil dose but they haven’t started recruiting.
N.B. now that we know that the vaccines work. we don’t need to study every dosage for efficacy against the virus. Instead of efficacy studies we can study how the vaccine is working in the body compared to those fully immunized, immunogencity trials (which is what the above trials are doing) and then use data and theory to infer effectiveness. If we felt it necessary to study effectiveness, human challenge trials would be ideal in this situation as you can study gradually smaller doses with little risk to the patients. But given the urgency, immunogenicity trials should provide enough information to make decisions on the ground. To limit risk, one could do a half-dose on the second dose or one could do a half-dose in people under the age of 50. Both of these regimens would still create significant increases in supply. Recall that in 2018, facing a yellow fever epidemic and a shortage of vaccine, Brazil used 1/5th doses to break the epidemic.
There are no guarantees but the world is ignoring a potential trillion dollar bill lying on the sidewalk.
Hat tip for discussion: Witold and Amrita.

article By BRIAN FRANKERThe Washington Post”newspapers in English” and the New York Times” were among the first major news outlets to start using digital platforms to publish their news content.
But, since then, digital news platforms have become increasingly dominant in shaping the content of news stories across the world, including online.
News sites have also begun to invest in new ways to better track and identify news stories.
News outlets have spent billions of dollars on advertising over the last decade to create a massive audience and reach.
Now, many news outlets are also investing heavily in new technologies to help track news and identify new sources.
This year, news publishers including the Washington Post, Reuters, ABC News, CNN, the Los Angeles Times, and Politico are launching new platforms to help news publishers better understand the stories they publish.
Newspapers are also spending millions of dollars to train their reporters and editors to better understand new technologies and the news they produce.
Some publishers are also taking a more hands-on approach to news gathering, like the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Examiner, and the Boston Globe.
In an effort to help journalists better understand digital news, the WSJ launched a new platform that aims to help reporters better understand social media posts.

It’s sad to know that not all leaders have environmental issues as a priority. Some of them believe that environmental problems are a pressing issue. They don’t include them when campaigning to the voters. Politicians understand that environmental problems aren’t a priority for many, and it’s not the best idea to campaign on.
Besides, there are groups of people who don’t believe in climate change. Asking their votes when they don’t even believe in environmental issues can lead to disastrous results. Therefore, we need bold leaders. It’s better to have politicians who understand the urgency of these problems and stand on solving them no matter what people say.
Changes should happen now
When it comes to environmental issues, changes should happen urgently. We don’t have sufficient time to delay the results. We need leaders who understand the urgency and don’t mind taking risks. They will explain to voters why it’s critical to take a bold move, even if it will cost them some votes.
Changes start at home
Leaders who advocate for environmental policies don’t hesitate to do it because they already started at home. They take the proper steps to protect the environment, even when no one is watching. For instance, they work with aluminum can recycling Kansas City companies to ensure that recycled materials go to the right places. These actions will tell voters that their leaders are sincere in what they believe in.
Policies happen because of bold leaders
Politicians who believe in solving environmental problems can create policies that will instill change. Of course, they will face complaints and challenges, but they won’t mind them. They understand that they have a significant role in crafting legislation that will force people to do the right thing. Even if it’s convenient for some to follow these changes, they’re crucial. Conversely, leaders who don’t believe in climate change might also recommend policies that will hurt the environment even more. Hence, it’s essential to choose the right people in the office.
There’s a clamor for change
Even if not too many people vote for leaders based on environmental issues, these concerns are prevalent. There’s bipartisan support for protecting the environment. It shouldn’t be a controversial problem to solve. Since it is, we need leaders who won’t mind facing criticisms to push for what’s right.
You can do your share
After realizing the importance of having the right leaders, do your share by organizing and campaigning. Make sure you vote for the best people to hold office. Inspire your friends to do the same. If they win, hold these leaders accountable. They should do what’s suitable for the people and stick to their promises.
Politicians against climate actions are also very loud. They convince people using false statements. Make sure you counter their narratives by providing the truth. Since these problems are serious, something needs to happen now. Don’t get exhausted telling everyone to take the proper steps. Our future will start to look better.

Consultant paediatricians have warned mothers against the use of toothpaste, heat from lanterns and hot water for the care of the umbilical cord.
The paediatricians while with
PUNCH HealthWise in separate interviews, also warned that using cow dung and mentholated ointment for the care of the umbilical cord can lead to infections and neonatal death.
A Consultant Pediatrician and Head of Department at the Massey Street Children Hospital, Lagos,
Olanike Olutekunbi, said cord care starts at birth.
She noted that after birth, the cord is clamped and cut but a short stump that is left must be well taken care of, to prevent infections.
“The infected cord and umbilical area can become red and swollen, ooze pus or infection may spread to the body through the blood. The baby may have tetanus if the umbilical stump is not well taken care of and especially if the mother was not immunised against tetanus.
“All these are life-threatening and contribute significantly to neonatal mortality.
“It is pertinent to keep the umbilical stump clean. In practice, we see a lot of inappropriate care and it is painful when a baby succumbs to complications from these inappropriate practices.
“Examples are the use of toothpaste, cow dung, and lantern for fomentation; hot water, herbs, and special mixtures concocted for cord care, and these are harmful practices.
“Before now, the practice was to clean the cord frequently with methylated spirit, as frequently as the diaper was changed or more and to always leave the stump outside the diaper. The stump dries and falls off usually in two weeks; it may take longer in some babies,”
she noted.
Corroborating Dr. Olutekunbi, a Consultant Paediatrician,
Dr. Ayodele Renner said the umbilical cord is a structure that connects the baby to the placenta in the womb. He said:
“The baby gets nutrients and oxygen from the placenta through the umbilical cord. The umbilical cord keeps the child alive in the womb.”
The expert noted that the use of toothpaste can leave the umbilical cord vulnerable to infection, which can spread to the whole body of the child.
“Even the use of hot water is not also recommended; it is not a global practice. The women who carry out these practices believe that the heat from the lantern will make the cord dry up very fast and it will help it to fall off faster, but that is not the case.
“The American Academy of Paediatrics recommends that all you need to do is just to clean the cord with water and ensure it is not covered by the diaper. The cord will dry by itself and fall off.
“These practices are dangerous and can lead to the death of the child because if the care of the cord is not done properly, the cord can have a very severe infection that will cause omphalitis, which can spread to the baby’s blood and brain,”
the physician said.
Omphalitis is an infection of the umbilical stump. It typically presents as superficial cellulitis that can spread to involve the entire abdominal wall and may progress to necrotising fasciitis, or systemic disease. Renner added,
“Some people use cow dung to care for the umbilical cord and that can lead to tetanus. I’ve also seen people rub mentholatum on the cord and that is not recommended because it can cause very severe jaundice that can kill the child.”
The experts, however, say the World Health Organisation recommends the use of Chlorhexidine gel for umbilical cord care.
Explaining, Olutekunbi said strict hand hygiene before and after taking care of the cord is required.
“The gel is applied around the base of the stump, the cord, and the tip of the cord. The gel on the skin is wiped with a clean towel. Application is once daily until the cord drops. The stump is left outside the diaper.
This is recommended for all deliveries whether in a health facility or outside it. Studies have shown how this intervention has greatly reduced neonatal mortality in some countries.”
According to her, it has not been easy transiting from the use of methylated spirit and other harmful care to the use of chlorhexidine in practice.
“One major complaint is that the cord takes longer to drop or is infected. However, with good health education especially in hand hygiene and technique of application, we can overcome these bottlenecks.
“Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic and offers an advantage over infection prevention than the methylated spirit which is alcohol.
“Indeed, the cord may drop faster with methylated spirit but cord care is not about how fast the cord drops but effective care to prevent infections like omphalitis, septicemia, and tetanus, which are life-threatening,”
she said.

The Merits Of Syukuro Manabe Winning A Nobel Prize Are Confusing
The Nobel Committee has given the following reason for their choice of awarding the prize for Physics to researchers Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselman:
“For the physical modeling of the Earth’s climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming.”
The Committee also presented a brief description of Manabe’s climate model:
“Syukuro Manabe was the first researcher to explore the interactions between radiation balance and the vertical transport of air masses due to convection, also taking account of the heat contributed by the water cycle.”
Normally the Nobel Prize for Physics has been given to a researcher who was the first to introduce a new theory that turned out later to be a decisive step in understanding an important scientific phenomenon.
In the case of Manabe, it is very probably the proposal for humidity behavior as referred by the Committee when for example greenhouse gases increase the atmospheric temperature.
Manabe & Wetherald published an article about this problem entitled “Thermal Equilibrium of the Atmosphere with the given distribution of relative humidity” in 1967.
The name already reveals that the scientists used a constant (RH) profile in the atmosphere. This means that when the atmospheric temperature rises, for example, due to carbon dioxide concentration increase or for solar radiation increase, it is assumed that RH remains constant.
This means that the absolute amount of water vapor in the atmosphere will then increase. This means that since water vapor is about 12 times stronger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, the result is that the atmospheric temperature will increase.
The term
‘water feedback’ has subsequently been used for this mechanism and, more clearly, ‘positive water feedback’.
The conclusion of Manabe & Wetherald was in their paper that constant RH assumption increases the temperature by a factor of two (ECS values 2.36°C/1.33°C) to the case without water feedback (keeping constant absolute humidity).
The importance of this result is that the water feedback mechanism has been used as a standard solution in simple and complex climate models. The IPCC has approved this result in all the assessment reports up to AR4 (2007).
Thereafter, the IPCC somehow lost its know-how in which way this water feedback works since according to the AR5, water feedback can double or triple the warming effect of greenhouse gases. This does not sound like solid science.
In the latest report published in August, AR6 is exceptionally clear about the water feedback effects and it is now a mathematically little bit smaller namely water feedback increases the original warming by a factor of about 1.8. The positive water feedback is still the most important feature in modern climate models.
This feature is very essential for the IPCC, and it was first introduced by Manabe, and the magnitude of this feature has not changed substantially over the years in the IPCC-approved models. I think that this is the main basis for rewarding.
This straightforward story is not so simple after all. Namely, 33 years later Hall & Manabe published an article by the name “The Role of Water Vapor Feedback in Unperturbed Climate Variability and Global Warming” in 1999.
The main result of this study was that the water feedback increases the original warming by a factor of 3.2 (3.38°C/1.05°C). Normally the latest version of a research subject has been considered as a final version.
Now it is very confusing that there are at least two research results. Which result does the Nobel Prize Committee regard as the correct one and as a rewarding basis?
What is the proof about the positive water feedback?
Someone may have noted in that crucial study by Manabe & Wetherald, the researchers used the phrase “
Given Distribution of Relative Humidity”, that is, the very old-fashioned expression that the distribution of RH has been given.
This, of course, results in the rhetorical question of who has given such a distribution. The expression simply means that scientists assumed that RH would remain constant when the atmospheric temperature changes.
Another option is that the absolute humidity remains constant. I couldn’t find any reflections or justifications in the article as to why RH stays constant rather than that absolute humidity remains constant.
The article leaves the impression that the researchers calculated and analyzed the consequences of such a default in the behaviors of different climate variables. They do not present a theoretical hypothesis or justification as to why RH would remain constant at all.
It was 21 years later when the IPCC was established in 1988 and climate researchers started to invest in the development of climate models. My opinion is that a theoretical justification for the positive water feedback was now needed.
The answer was the equation of Clausius-Clapeyron, which presents a mathematical formula for how the partial pressure of water depends on the temperature of the gas phase if there is 100% relative humidity.
There is only such a striking problem with this post-kiln yeast that the average RH in the atmosphere is about 75% globally, and only locally and momentarily 100%.
To date, the climate establishment has failed to present a “waterproof” theoretical basis, why climate works in such a way that the RH of the atmosphere remains constant. An obvious reason is that climate does not work in that way as we see later.
I could show direct RH measurements from 1948 onward that the RH of the atmosphere is not constant. I have also published a theoretical analysis based on the energy balance of the Earth that there is no positive water feedback.
But I decided to show only one proof, which will take the IPCC into this game.
Mother Nature has organized a validation test for the water feedback because the amount of shortwave radiation absorbed by the Earth has increased significantly since 2001, according to CERES satellite measurements.
The increase of radiative forcing (RF) has been 1.61 W/m2 from 2001 to 2019 (comparison year in AR6!). That’s a lot of it since the corresponding increase in carbon dioxide RF from 1750 to 2011 was 1.68 W/m2, according to the IPCC.
The RF value of shortwave radiation is the simplest and the most reliable climate driver since other climate drivers must be transferred with complicated calculations into unit W/m2, but shortwave radiation change can be measured directly.
I have calculated the temperature trends according to the positive water feedback (the IPCC model) and without positive water feedback (Ollila model) from 2001 to 2020, Figure 1.
The result is that the IPCC temperature model shoots well above the measured temperature change.
If the IPCC had included this change in the AR6 temperature calculations, the temperature calculated by the models would have been about 2.0 degrees, when the measured temperature increase was about 1.3 degrees from 1750 to 2019.
Shortwave anomaly has caused 54% of the error, according to the positive water feedback, but the IPCC omitted this SW radiation change. As the result, the measured and calculated temperature was about the same as observed namely 1.3°C in 2019.
Finally, many climate establishment scientists sigh in relief since this is the first time it has happened in the history of the IPCC reports.
The IPCC had no choice but to go cheating because of this great error and because the Paris agreement limit of 2°C would have been exceeded. And so far, this cheating has been working very well.
Now that Manabe has won the Nobel Prize for Physics, peer reviews will conclude that positive water feedback is a real phenomenon because it was rewarded with the Nobel Prize.
However, in the original research study of 1967, there is no evidence that it exists, but only the assumption that relative humidity is constant.
The theoretical basis is still missing, and the validation test run with the real climate changes is looking very bad.
Thors Hans Hansson of the Nobel Prize Committee for Physics has declared that if there is someone among world leaders who have not understood that the climate models and the know-how about climate warming are based on solid physics, then he/she will not understand it anyway.
Yes, it is very probable that political and business leaders are very convinced now about these issues but that is not the case with contrarian climate researchers. These researchers are looking for scientific proof for climate models and the IPCC’s calculations.
As I have shown in my story, there is no solid scientific theory for water feedback, the IPCC models with water feedback run very hot indeed, the rewarding basis of the Nobel Prize Committee is a question mark, and what is the worst of all, the lack of moral integrity of the IPCC.
Antero Ollila has been an active researcher since 2011 and published 20 articles on climate change. A major method has been spectral analysis and the main subjects have been the greenhouse effect, warming impacts of greenhouse gases, carbon cycle, the energy balance of the earth, and dynamical simulations of climate.

(Ashley Powers | Los Angeles Times) – With its gleaming Vegas Strip and stucco sprawl, Nevada has portrayed itself as a model of the civilized West. But every so often, such as Tuesday, holdovers from its boisterous beginnings show up at the Capitol — and they are named Chicken Ranch, Pussycat Ranch and Shady Lady.
Here’s Nevada’s dirty little secret: Many lawmakers would like to keep the state’s legal brothels a dirty little secret.
Never mind the Silver State’s history of profiting off taboos or the potential cash a state tax on prostitution could bring. Each time legislators have considered such a tax, they’ve reacted with all the squeamishness of a teenager whose parents want to talk about the birds and the bees.
But with Nevada facing a budget gap as big as $3 billion and potentially huge cuts to education and social services, state Sen. Bob Coffin convened a hearing Tuesday in Carson City to discuss a state tax on prostitution. (Local governments already tax the bordellos.)
If only for an afternoon, legislators were forced to reconcile the Nevada of madams and gunslingers with the Nevada of multinational corporate giants.
“Can we be so proud as to refuse money that is offered from a legal business?” Coffin, a Democrat, asked at the hearing’s outset.
Over the next few hours, brothel owners thanked lawmakers for even letting them in the building. They used the word “respectability.” A lot. Three legal sex workers advocated for the proposal, while prostitution researcher Melissa Farley derided the whole thing as an “act of legislative pimping.”
Through it all, some lawmakers lowered their eyes and squirmed. Democratic Sen. Terry Care made a point to tell the packed hearing room that his silence should not be construed as approval.
“I don’t agree it’s respectable, and I don’t agree it’s acceptable,” he said. “It is legal.”
The brothels, which are banned in the counties that include Reno and Las Vegas, are a mixed blessing for the state. Their mere existence helps Vegas sell itself as Sin City, and the HBO show “Cathouse,” set at the Moonlite BunnyRanch, essentially advertises Nevada’s illicit offerings. But when, for example, Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) wanted to needle Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), he mistakenly claimed Reid supported a taxpayer-funded “red light express” train from the BunnyRanch to Disneyland.
The brothel owners’ desire for respectability goes back years.
About a decade ago, said George Flint, the longtime Nevada Brothel Assn. lobbyist, the famed Mustang Ranch threw a steak and lobster party for legislators. Only three showed up.
Though many brothel owners have long supported being taxed — Flint calls it “a wonderful life insurance policy” — they could never wrangle the votes. It probably didn’t help, Flint said, the year he joked that grateful brothels would mount photos of the then-governor on their walls.
“The Nevada Legislature is like an ostrich, and with this they want to stick their head in the sand,” said Eric Herzik, chairman of the political science department at the University of Nevada, Reno.
Coffin’s proposal, Senate Bill 369, would require a $5 tax on a prostitute’s services. The brothel association estimated that, even with business plummeting during the recession, bordellos get about 365,000 patrons a year. The bill would also establish a state ombudsman who would, in part, help steer sex workers to other professions.
The hearing ended without a vote, and the proposal will probably die in the Senate Taxation Committee unless legislators take action this week.
The plan has stirred up all sorts of scorn — and some interesting logic.
Republican Gov. Jim Gibbons told the Las Vegas Review-Journal: “I’m not a supporter of legalizing prostitution in Nevada. So by taxing it, there’s a recognition of the legality of it.”
In the 1970s, Nevada allowed some counties to license brothels, in keeping with its tradition of embracing things, such as prizefighting and gambling, that others branded as sins.
But ever since the neon-signed bordellos were codified, folks have pressed to outlaw them. (In 2004, Churchill County voted for both President George W. Bush and keeping prostitution legal — the latter by a 2-to-1 margin.)
On Tuesday, the hearing often veered into whether brothels were a legitimate enterprise. Flint said it was only the second time in 25 years that his clients had appeared before the Legislature.
“My client is a legal, respectable, licensed industry,” he said, and others tried to convince the panel of the same.
Dennis Hof, owner of the BunnyRanch, said, “We’re the world’s oldest profession, and these are working professionals.”
Deanne Salinger, who works at the BunnyRanch as “Air Force Amy,” said, “If $5-a-person can raise $2 million a year, I’m all for it.”
But Ken Green, who runs the Chicken Ranch, acknowledged that, despite the testimony, the brothel business wasn’t quite like all the rest. He told the committee that should a prostitution tax be passed, he would prefer it show up on a credit card receipt with a more subtle name.

Cal State LA and government and community partners opened a mobile vaccination clinic in Maywood this week, extending the university’s efforts to serve vulnerable populations hard hit by the pandemic.
A mobile vaccination clinic from the Vaccination Center at Cal State LA launched at the Southeast-Rio Vista YMCA on Wednesday, offering increased access to COVID-19 vaccines for neighborhoods in Southeast Los Angeles.
The clinic, which offers the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, is open for appointments through Saturday, April 10. Community members can sign up online or call 323-588-2256 to register for an appointment.
“To me, this is boots on the ground,” Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis said during an April 7 news conference marking the clinic’s opening. “It’s coming to where our most vulnerable individuals live. I can’t think of a more meaningful place to be than here at the Y.”
Since May 2020, low-income communities in Los Angeles County, including Southeast Los Angeles, have seen COVID-19 infection rates that are higher than those in wealthier neighborhoods, according to reports by Advancement Project California and the
Los Angeles Times. Research from the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs at Cal State LA conducted in spring 2020 also revealed severe impacts of the pandemic on the region. And, more recently, vaccine distribution for Black and Latino residents in Los Angeles has been found to lag behind that of whites and Asian Americans.
“This [mobile clinic] is what we have all been advocating for—so that our region does not continue to be at the back of the line,” said Wilma Franco, executive director for the SELA Collaborative, a network of organizations that includes Cal State LA and aims to strengthen the capacity of the nonprofit sector and increase civic engagement in the southeast area.
Local, state and federal representatives joined Solis, whose First District includes Cal State LA, and Franco in praising the new clinic during the news conference at the Southeast-Rio Vista YMCA.
“Too often, communities like ours have had to scratch for access to health care services, so I am glad that we were able to make this happen,” said California Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, whose district includes Maywood.
The mobile vaccination clinic in Maywood is one of three based out of the Vaccination Center at Cal State LA, which is operated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. The others are stationed at Paradise Baptist Church in South Los Angeles and Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza through April 10. The goal of the mobile vaccination clinics is to increase the distribution of vaccines to underserved or hard-to-reach areas in surrounding communities.
Since it opened on Feb. 16, the Vaccination Center at Cal State LA has delivered more than 300,000 vaccinations through its walk-up, drive-thru and mobile vaccination clinics. The center was one of the first state and federal community vaccination centers in the Biden administration’s effort to ramp up COVID-19 vaccine distribution across the country. This month, the site will transition to a city-run vaccination site.
“All of us are here today because we understand how critical our mobile units are in ensuring that the most vulnerable in our communities have equitable access to the vaccine,” Cal State LA Associate Vice President for Operations and Chief Mission Officer Belen Vargas said during the news conference.
Cal State LA’s participation in the COVID-19 vaccination effort is part of the university’s
We Are Healthy LA initiative, a collaboration with government and community partners to provide basic needs and help ensure health and safety during the pandemic.
Under the initiative, Cal State LA has worked with federal, state and local governments and organizations including the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles, QueensCare Health Centers, the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and the Southeast Los Angeles Collaborative to provide influenza vaccinations and distribute more than 120 tons of food to approximately 5,000 families in the Los Angeles area.
“As you can see from all of the speakers today and everyone here,” Vargas said, “it is powerful what we can do when we partner together.”

Men more likely to get their desired pay raise than women
Men are more likely to get a wage increase if they ask for it than women, trade union CNV found in a study among over 3,300 of its members. 56 percent of men got a pay raise after asking for one, compared to 42 percent of women, ANP reports.
After a good assessment, men were twice as likely to get a pay raise as women, the union found. Employers also made extra remuneration agreements, outside the collective bargaining agreement, with men three times as often as with women.
CNV chairman Piet Fortain was flabbergasted by these findings. "Certainly at a time when women are now more educated than men," he said. The pay gap between men and women is still significant. And the problem is often unjustly blamed on women, he said, with employers saying "they need to ask for it more often, be more assertive".
The union called on employees to be open about their own salary, so that pay gaps and discrepancies can be highlighted. "The taboo must be removed. If you earn demonstrably and inexplicably less than your colleague who does the same job, ask for a salary increase," Fortuin said.

In an Indiana case where there was virtually no physical evidence, prosecutors convicted a man for the rape and murder of 15-year-old Deann Katherine Long that occurred in 1976. The state relied on the testimony of jailhouse informants to convict Lewis Fogle (63) in his 1982 trial of second-degree murder- he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The informants said that Fogle had confessed his guilt to them. Recent DNA evidence collected from semen extracted from Ms. Long’s body eliminated Fogle as a source of the rape and, presumably, as the murderer. Fogle had spent 34 years in prison for the crime where police found Long’s body in a rural area near Cherry Tree, Indiana, with a single gunshot to the head. Three other men, including Fogle’s brother, had also been arrested at the time; however, they were never formally charged with the crime.
COMMENT: Although the newly discovered DNA evidence does not necessarily establish Fogle’s innocence, it does demonstrate that the state has insufficient evidence to justify the conviction. Prosecutors are “Ministers of Justice,” and their job is to prosecute people with sufficient evidence. HOWEVER, their duty is also NOT to prosecute individuals where the evidence is sufficiently thin. This ethical (and legal) line has been crossed way too many times in the country. Justice is always served when only the truly guilty are convicted. Mr. Fogle deserves substantial compensation in this case, notwithstanding the aforementioned distinction between “actual guilt” and “lack of evidence”.
UPDATE: DNA testing cleared Lewis Fogle in 2015 of involvement in the 1976 rape and murder of fifteen-year-old Deann “Kathy” Long. His conviction was vacated, and the state declined to re-prosecute.

I recently read in the metro that 43% of adults said they thought that standing up in front of strangers and speaking was brave. So if you are one of that 43% rest assured you’re not alone. As someone who also sits in the 43% I asked Sally to give me some of her key tips
Preparation is essential to all presentations! You should know what you want the audience to take away with them before you’ve even stepped into the room. Good Posture! Posture can do more than just make you look more confident (which is very important) but will also help with your breathing. Good breathing technique reduces panic and increases oxygen to your brain which in turn helps you to think. PowerPoint is the icing on the cake, NOT the cake ingredients! You should only be using it to add to your presentation; you should never be reliant upon PowerPoint to support you. You should be able to carry on with your presentation even if the technology fails you or there is a powercut. Your slides, hand-outs and notes are different! They are not the same thing; they serve different functions!
These are all in addition to the techniques our actors can give you on looking, sounding and feeling more confident. If you feel like you could do with some guidance when it comes to presenting, we run presentation and confidence building workshops. At the time of writing our next public presenting workshop will be 29
th April 2014 but we will always have them planned.
Using the talents of professional actors, this
presentation workshop offers tools and techniques to help you look, sound and feel more confident and therefore more professional when in front of an audience of any size. During the workshop led by 2 professional actors we work with the attendees to bring their personalities into their presentations; we concentrate on the way you look to others and the image that you portray, working towards creating a pleasant voice with authority and variety and how to be natural in what for many is an unnatural environment.

HOW EXACTLY TO Enjoy Gambling Through THE WEB
If you’ve ever walked from a casino table or other gambling opportunity, wondered if you’d lost your brain or had a nervous breakdown, then you are not alone. Gambling being an activity involves more than just figuring out what the odds are against you and hoping that you’ll hit some lucky numbers. For most people, gambling is an addictive activity and it can result in a variety of problems if it’s not managed properly.
The U.S. states have regulated gambling in many ways through statutory laws. One example of this is the PROPERTY and Business Gambling Control Act of 2006. This act banned various kinds of gambling at federally funded casinos. Although the law did not affect online gambling, many online casinos still do operate illegally while trying to skirt the law. Therefore, the true Estate and Business Gambling Control Act was passed to be able to regulate online gambling.
Often, problem gambling addicts will head to great lengths to get their hands on the tickets that they think they may be missing. With internet gambling becoming more widespread and sophisticated, problem gamblers is now able to find any kind of lottery, online or offline, if they so desire. Some will even make an effort to contact lottery officials in hopes of experiencing their tickets accepted. Unfortunately, lots of people fall into the group of non-residents alien with legal rights, which means they cannot legally gamble in the U.S., it doesn’t matter how much money they might be paying into gambling accounts.
Problem gambling addictions can also result from many other causes. Included in these are: depression, anxiety, job loss/loss, divorce, drug abuse, or personal losses (such as losing a spouse). Generally speaking, addictions to gambling result from deeper problems. However, many people use gambling as a coping mechanism or a “high” to numb emotional pain or stress. People who have this type of addiction tend to be aware of the destructive nature of their behavior, yet continue to take part in their own misery. Unfortunately, you can find those who suffer from gambling addictions and won’t accept that there surely is anything wrong, much less seek help because of their habit.
Despite the fact that internet gambling is legal in most jurisdictions, it still would be wise for gamblers to check with their local jurisdiction to make sure they are not breaking any laws. Many states, such as for example Illinois, have specific laws against lottery ticket selling, gaming, gambling or buying and selling of lottery tickets, with some states making it a felony to knowingly lie concerning the state of residence when attempting to obtain either a lottery or a slot machine. In addition, most states have laws against transferring funds from a state in which gambling is illegal to one in which it is legalized, although this rarely occurs.
One thing you need to know about internet gambling, however, is that despite what many people believe, it is legal in some jurisdictions while illegal in others. The reason being different countries have create their very own sets of laws surrounding gambling, including whether gambling occurs in a public facility or in private homes. Although there are a variety of countries that allow online bingo and other forms of gambling, not all countries do so. This is because the technology involved with playing bingo has made the overall game more accessible to all, particularly in developing countries where access to casinos and gambling isn’t yet widespread. For example, the internet allows players from all over the world to log on and play, so gambling has really taken off in the developing world.
Along with using the internet to engage in internet gambling, you can also use online sports betting websites to put your bets and winnings. With sports betting, not merely can gamblers win cash prizes as they participate in sports tournaments such as the World Series of Poker, however they can also win complimentary 블랙 잭 룰 tickets with their favorite sports event. This kind of opportunity has been rising in popularity since a series of gambling games, such as for example bingo and lotto, were introduced to the planet in the nineteenth century. Today, a variety of online gambling websites offer both ways of gambling, which can be used by any and all sorts of adult who would like to try their luck at gambling online.
Whichever form of gambling you like, there is an opportunity for you yourself to enjoy some fun and excitement. There is absolutely no shortage of techniques people can enjoy their gambling games, from traditional betting and gambling games like bingo and horse racing to online gambling along with other forms of virtual games like poker and video slots. What is most significant is that you choose a task that you will enjoy and something in which you are feeling comfortable. When you take this kind of periods to indulge your interests, you can ensure that you will be able to stick to the gambling edge and make a profit as a result.

There is a continuous debate on which bike is the better- hardtail or dual suspension. The short answer is locked up in what the bike will be used for.
A hardtail is a mountain bike with a front shock to take the pumps and whatever else the terrain has to offer. It is capable to go off-road and faces gravel, soft sands, rocks, and roots. So for limited challenging conditions, the hardtail is perfect. It is lighter, cheaper and it is still an excellent comfortable ride. When it comes to downhill riding and extreme off-road conditions, the rider needs to use its technical skills, and here the legs and the tyres take the effect of the bumps on the back wheel. Then the maintenance is less.
A dual suspension is probably the best of all worlds. It has both a suspension in the front and the back. It is best when conditions are really challenging like long rides in tough conditions which include downhill riding. It can take bigger hits, steeper descents, and is more forgiving. (Less technical skills required). Less stress on the body also meaning you can ride longer in these conditions. It offers excellent handling and traction which gives the rider more confidence to manage technical conditions. The price and the weight are more but on an e-bike, it is not an issue.
In conclusion. If you are not doing extreme mountain biking the hardtail is perfect and if you want the best of all worlds, the dual suspension gives you more versatility and allows you to do a bit extreme.

Nuclear Energy in India: From Self-Reliance To Import Dependence
E A S Sarma
India was an early entrant in the field of nuclear energy. It was Dr Homi J Bhabha who initiated nuclear science research in India by setting up the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in 1945 and later the Atomic Energy Establishment at Trombay (now known as Bhabha Atomic Research Centre or BARC) in 1954 to intensify effort to deploy nuclear technology for generating electricity. The Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) headed by the prime minister started functioning since then.
As a part of an agreement with the USA, India set up its first nuclear power station (410MW) in 1963 at Tarapore in Maharashtra. It was based on Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) using enriched Uranium fuel supplied by the USA. This project started commercial operation in 1969. Tarapore marked the beginning of India's nuclear power development effort. Initially, it was the DAE that implemented the nuclear power development programme till the creation of the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd. (NPCIL) as a central PSU in 1987. It was Dr Bhabha's vision that India should become self-reliant in the field of nuclear energy. Accordingly, India adopted a three-stage nuclear power development programme based on indigenously made reactors and fuel processed from domestic resources. The first stage was based on indigenously manufactured Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) that used natural Uranium from domestic sources as fuel and indigenously produced Heavy Water as both the moderator and the coolant. In the second stage, Plutonium-239, separated from the spent fuel in the first stage, was to be used in indigenously developed Fast Breeder Reactors (FBRs) for generating electricity. In the futuristic third stage, it was envisaged to use the indigenously available Thorium raw material from the sea sands along the coast and produce Uranium 233 which in turn would be the fuel for electricity generation. During the last five decades since its inception, with a heavy emphasis on indigenous effort, DAE has installed around 5,780 MW of nuclear power generation capacity. As on date, nuclear power constitutes only 1.83 percent of the total installed electricity generation capacity in the country and, in terms of the total electricity generation, its contribution is only 3.23 percent. It was in 1988 that India started deviating from the path of self-reliance in the field of nuclear energy when it signed an agreement with the then Soviet Union for setting up a 2x1000MW capacity power project based on Soviet manufactured pressurised water reactors at Kudankulam in Tamil Nadu. Actual work on the project started in 2002. The signing of the Indo-US nuclear deal in 2005 marked the beginning of a series of bilateral inter-country agreements that India signed for importing on a very large scale both nuclear reactors and fuel from overseas sources. Such bilateral agreements lack transparency in price fixation in respect of both the reactors and the fuel. Such bilateral agreements make it difficult for the country to demand the highest standards of safety in the design of the reactors. Compounding this is the fact that the nuclear MNCs are reluctant to assume full liability for a Fukushima-like disaster as and when it occurs as a result of deficiencies in reactor design.
Safety of nuclear power technology
During the last six decades, there have been a very large number of nuclear accidents, both minor and major. As a result of the overall cover of secrecy that surrounds the nuclear industry, many of them have gone unreported. As per the list of the accidents disclosed to the international agencies, more than 30 major nuclear accidents occurred globally, involving multiple fatalities and property damages exceeding $100 million. Out of these, nine were very serious accidents and three of them, the first at Three Mile Island in USA (1979), the second at Chernobyl in the erstwhile Soviet Union (1986) and the latest at Fukushima in Japan (2011) were of a devastating nature. While the Three Mile Island accident forced at least fifteen states in the USA to impose formal restrictions on the setting up of new nuclear power projects and drastically slowed down nuclear power development in that country, in the case of Chernobyl, the stricken plant had to be encased in a high-cost “sarcophagus” or a tomb as it could not be cleaned up fully. The disaster-affected Fukushima reactors are releasing, even today, more than 200 tonnes of radioactive water daily into the Pacific Ocean. The local ground water acquifers stand contaminated. Japan may not be able to clean up these reactors for decades and may ultimately have to encompass the stricken reactors in an expensive metal casing to insulate the surrounding community from radioactive exposure. Some estimates place the liability arising from the Fukushima accident to touch seven lakh forty thousand crores of rupees. The Western MNCs supplying reactors to India are unwilling to assume responsibility for such a huge liability! If a Fukushima-like accident were to occur in India at one of the projects being set up, the government will find it difficult to meet the liability of that order from its limited budgetary resources. When the parliament enacted the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act in 2010, it was on the insistence of the Left parties that the ceiling on liability on account of an accident was raised to 300 million SDRs (roughly Rs 2830 crores at today's exchange rate). Keeping in view the magnitude of the Fukushima liability referred above, this statutory ceiling implies a near 100 percent exemption from liability for the MNCs supplying reactors to India, which will not only cost the public exchequer dearly but also incentivise the reactor suppliers to cut corners in the safety features of reactor design. Human lapses, mechanical failures and natural calamities could lead to both radioactive leaks and major accidents at the nuclear power project sites. In addition to radioactive leaks from the power station, transportation of fuel to the power plant and the movement of the spent fuel from the power plant for storage elsewhere could also expose the local communities to radiation risks. Low-intensity radioactive exposure can have long-term health impacts on the people. Major accidents can impact large areas around the accident stricken plant. The zoning norms adopted in the USA suggest that such impacts could extend upto 80km around the plant site, depending on the wind velocity and the wind direction. According to news reports, radioactive material from the Fukushima accident could be traced as far as near the west coast of the USA! Looking at the risks associated with the nuclear power technology, private insurers are reluctant to insure nuclear power plants and the international financial institutions like the World Bank are unwilling to provide loan assistance. Atomic energy regulatory board(AERB) subordinate to the DAE The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) in its present form is subordinate to the DAE whose activities it is expected to oversee and regulate. Post-Fukushima, as a result of the global concerns about the safety of nuclear power technology and the need to introduce independent regulation, the government introduced the Nuclear Safety Regulatory Authority (NSRA) Bill in the parliament. The concerned Parliamentary Standing Committee considered the Bill in 2012 and made several far reaching recommendations to make sure that the proposed NSRA turns out to be truly independent. Neither the then UPA government nor the present NDA government has cared to enact the new law. As things stand today, the regulatory authority is not in an unfettered position to question the DAE on the safety aspects of either the existing plants or the new ones being set up. The Atomic Energy Act in its present form unduly restricts the citizen's right to have information on the activities of NPCIL. This compounds the public fears about the safety of the nuclear power projects. In the recent times, the European and the US regulators have detected large scale use of substandard components in the nuclear power projects being set up in different parts of the world. False quality certification and fraud seem to have become a rule rather than an exception these days. This is far too serious a matter to be ignored by the government, as it potentially enhances the probability of major accidents taking place. COST OF NUCLEAR POWER There are certain elements of the cost of nuclear power that cannot be easily quantified. For example, there is no known technology as yet that can satisfactorily process the radioactive waste generated by nuclear power plants and the costs associated with waste management are anybody's guess. The cost of decommissioning an aged nuclear power plant is difficult to estimate as the global experience in decommissioning such plants is woefully negligible. Globally, most nuclear power projects are known to have undergone enormous time and cost overruns in their implementation. For example, in the case of the Olkiluoto reactor being set up in Finland by Areva, the French company, the construction period has gone up from 5 years to 13 years and the cost has trebled. There is no guarantee that the project will not undergo further delays. Both Areva and the other French company, EDF, as well as the US-Japan companies, Westinghouse and Toshiba, which are setting up nuclear power projects in Maharashtra (Jaitapur) and Andhra Pradesh (Kovvada) respectively are financially stressed and it is doubtful if they can ever stick to their time schedules or cost estimates. Since India is planning to depend heavily on such foreign reactor suppliers, the future trajectory of nuclear development in the country is going to be uncertain and highly expensive. In the name of inter-country bilateral agreements, the DAE has chosen a highly non-transparent procedure for negotiating the price of the reactors and that of the Uranium fuel required for operating the reactors. In other words, India will be at the mercy of the MNCs supplying the reactors and will have to accede to the prices quoted by them which need not necessarily be competitive. In the case of the fuel, there has been a global trend towards mergers/acquisitions among the fuel companies that tend to create monopolies which in turn will dictate the fuel price. Considering that such high fuel prices will also be dollar-denominated, the price of electricity from nuclear power plants will be several times higher than the average electricity tariffs that the domestic consumers pay today. Nuclear power projects generate steady power that is needed to cater to the base loads in grid operation. The Indian power system has excess base load generation capacity and additions to nuclear power generation will only accentuate the imbalance that will in turn add to the overall unit cost of electricity. This assumes importance since nuclear power plants cannot be easily backed down and, as a result, their operation may force other less expensive generating stations to back down, at the cost of the electricity consumer. ENERGY SECURITY IMPLICATIONS Importing both the nuclear reactors and the Uranium fuel on a large scale from external sources, as is presently planned, will erode the energy security of the country. Such imports will also have indirect implications for India's foreign policy options. Moreover, some western MNCs having fuel fabrication facilities have come under an intense financial stress and, as a result, have sold those facilities to other foreign companies. In the context of such uncertainty surrounding the fuel sources, India should feel concerned about the strategic implications arising from it. KOVVADA NUCLEAR POWER PROJECT NPCIL had originally proposed to set up a 6X1000 MW capacity nuclear power project at Mithi Virdi in Gujarat. The Westinghouse-Toshiba group was expected to supply reactors for the project. However, as a result of intense public opposition to the project in view of the serious risks involved, the DAE has since decided to ask Westinghouse-Toshiba to set up their reactors at Kovvada, implying that the concerns of the people of Mithi Virdi are far more pressing compared to the concerns of the people living around Kovvada. Even in the case of the nuclear power project originally proposed to be set up near Haripur in West Bengal, in view of the public opposition, the centre, hand-in-glove with the Andhra Pradesh (AP) government, seems to have shifted the project to a coastal site in AP. Such decisions show the insensitive attitude of the centre and the state to the concerns of the people living in the vicinity of Kovvada and the other locations along the coast in AP. Though the Site Selection Committee (SSC) constituted in the case of Kovvada had recommended a comprehensive seismic study to be undertaken over a region extending upto 300km around Kovvada, no such study seems to have been conducted. There have been multiple tremors in this region over the last few years. The DAE and NPCIL, if they are genuinely concerned about the safety of the people living in and around Kovvada, should have conducted a detailed seismic evaluation of the region and taken the public into confidence. The Kovvada project will displace farmers and traditional fisherfolk and artisans over 1,916 acres, and disrupt agriculture and fishing activity. In addition, there are five villages within a radius of 1.5 km around the project, designated as the “Exclusion Zone” where people are not allowed to reside. Within a radius of 5 km, designated as the “Sterilised Zone”, there are 42 villages where, as a result of the project, there will be no development activity undertaken. Finally, within a radius of 30 km comprising of “Emergency Planning Zone” and “Impact Assessment Zone”, more than a lakh of population will face potential radiation hazards and possible evacuation in times of emergency. Those living outside the project site, though subject to such potential hazards, may not get any compensation. The Kovvada project will thus cause an irreparable human trauma that the rulers of the day do not seem to care for. It is doubtful whether the meagre benefits, if any, of the project will ever accrue to the local people. Such projects will perhaps benefit the western MNCs by creating a profitable market for them in India and employment opportunities for those in their parent countries, more than in India! The irony of the Kovvada project is that the government will forcibly acquire land from the people in advance, disturbing the food security of the region, whereas the project itself may not fructify for decades to come! CONCLUSION Considering that the electricity supply system in India has several inherent inefficiencies, it will be prudent for the government to invest on cost-effective efficiency improvements as the first step towards balancing the electricity demand vis-a-vis the existing supplies. In the recent times, the unit costs of renewable sources of energy, especially, solar PV modules, have come down significantly and it should be possible for the government to align its policies to encourage roof-top solar generation systems etc, on a large scale. The social benefits of such policies far outweigh the cost of nuclear and other conventional sources of energy. The writer is a former Union Power Secretary

Building a functionalizable, potent chemiluminescent agent: A rational design study on 6,8-substituted luminol derivatives
Γλώσσες Τεκμηρίου:
Αγγλικά
Περίληψη:
Luminol is a prominent chemiluminescent (CL) agent, finding applications across numerous fields, including
forensics, immunoassays, and imaging. Different substitution patterns on the aromatic ring can enhance or decrease its CL efficiency. We herein report a systematic study on the synthesis and photophysics of all possible 6,8-disubstituted luminol derivatives bearing H, Ph, and/or Me substituents. Their CL responses are monitored at three pH values (8, 10, and 12), thus revealing the architecture with the optimum CL efficiency. The most efficient pattern is used for the synthesis of a strongly CL luminol derivative, bearing a functional group for further, straightforward derivatization. This adduct exhibits an unprecedented increase in chemiluminescence efficiency at pH=12, pH=10, and especially at pH=8 (closer to the biologically-relevant conditions), compared to luminol. Complementary work on the fluorescence of the emissive species, as well as quantum chemistry computations are employed for the rationalization of the observed results.

Cesky Terrier
Oliver Jones
Height: 10-13 inches Weight: 14-24 pounds Lifespan: 12-15 years Colors: Gray with cream, white, silver, yellow, or tan markings Suitable for: Families with children, singles, seniors, those looking for a low-shedding animal, first-time dog owners, apartment living Temperament: Intelligent, feisty, family-oriented
The Cesky Terrier is a curious, intelligent, and affectionate animal that hails from the Czech Republic, where they are considered to be a national treasure. These dogs can be good pets for many different types of homes because they are great with children, are low-shedding, and even get along with other dogs. Because they are so small, they can adapt relatively well to apartment living, so they could be a great option if you live in a smaller space.
Now you know a few reasons why the Cesky Terrier is a popular pet. Keep reading our guide to learn more and decide whether buying one of these dogs makes sense for you and your family.
Cesky Terrier Puppies – Before You Buy… What’s the Price of Cesky Terrier Puppies?
If you plan to purchase one of these dogs, you can expect to pay a pretty penny for it. A Cesky Terrier puppy will cost you anywhere between $1,300 and $2,600. The relative rarity of this breed is at least partially to blame for their high price tag; there are only about 600 of them in the United States. If you don’t want to pay thousands of dollars to buy one of these dogs but you are willing to travel to get one, you could try checking at dog shelters in your region to see if any of Cesky Terriers are up for adoption.
3 Little-Known Facts About Cesky Terriers 1. The Cesky Terrier is named after its homeland, the Czech Republic.
While it may appear that the word Cesky is pronounced “sess-key,” the correct pronunciation is “chess-key.”
2. They have a low center of gravity.
Their low center of gravity is due to the fact that they are longer than they are tall.
3. Despite how little they are, the Cesky Terrier can make a great watchdog.
These dogs are very warm and loyal to their families but tend to be wary at first with strangers.
Temperament & Intelligence of the Cesky Terrier
Overall, the Cesky Terrier is a very calm and intelligent breed that tends to be quieter than other terriers, making them great pets and companions. They are very affectionate with their families but may be a bit standoffish with strangers at first.
Are These Dogs Good for Families? 👪
Cesky Terriers are excellent family dogs and get along well with children, especially if they have been socialized with them from an early age. Teach your children how to properly interact with your dog; the Cesky Terrier is so small that it could get hurt while playing with your kids if they aren’t careful.
Does This Breed Get Along with Other Pets?
As with children, Cesky Terriers tend to get along well with other dogs as long as they have been socialized with them. However, if you have small animals such as rabbits or even cats, your Cesky Terrier’s instinctive prey drive may get the best of him. For that reason, it’s best to avoid keeping small mammals and Cesky Terriers in the same home.
Things to Know When Owning a Cesky Terrier: Food & Diet Requirements 🦴
Make sure to choose a high-quality dog food for small breeds when searching for the right food for your Cesky Terrier. Small breeds like the Cesky Terrier tend to require between ¾–1⅓ cup of food, but the exact amount depends on your dog’s age, activity level, and ideal weight.
Cesky Terriers are typically very food-motivated animals that like to eat, so you need to carefully monitor your dog’s intake to make sure it doesn’t gain too much weight. You may want to restrict feeding to a few specific times a day instead of allowing free eating to prevent your dog from becoming overweight.
Exercise 🐕
Compared to other dog breeds, the Cesky Terrier has moderate exercise needs. Plan to take your dog out on a few long walks a day and offer plenty of opportunities for play. Keep in mind that these dogs have a fairly high prey drive and are likely to chase after squirrels or other small animals they encounter while out on a walk, so you should always keep your Cesky on leash. The Cesky Terrier can typically adapt fairly well to apartment life because they are small and don’t need as much exercise as other breeds.
Training 🎾
Cesky Terriers are not as stubborn as other terrier breeds, making them a bit easier to train. However, you need to know that your Cesky Terrier will not respond well to negative training methods. Instead, you should use positive reinforcement by rewarding your dog for good behavior.
Grooming ✂️
The Cesky Terrier’s coat tends to hold onto dirt more than other dog breeds do, so you should expect to bathe your dog somewhat regularly. These dogs are relatively low-shedding animals, but you should still plan to brush your pet about once per week. Unlike other terrier breeds, the Cesky Terrier does not need to be hand stripped. Instead, its fur should be clipped about every 6-8 weeks. The hair in your dog’s ears should also be trimmed and the inside of the ears should be cleaned regularly to help prevent ear infections.
Health and Conditions 🏥
The Cesky Terrier is typically a fairly healthy breed. However, its gene pool in the United States is relatively small, making it difficult for breeders to eliminate genetic health problems that these dogs tend to develop. Luckily, these dogs are registered with the American Kennel Club, so you should receive pedigree papers that tell you important information about your dog’s ancestry, including any health problems you will need to know about. Below, you will find a list of serious and minor conditions that you should be on the lookout for if you adopt a Cesky Terrier.
Male vs Female
While there aren’t too many differences between male and female Cesky Terriers in terms of either temperament or size, some Cesky owners say that females mature faster than males. This makes them easier to train than their male counterparts. Males may also be more likely than females to display unwanted sexual behavior, though sexual behavior tends to be eliminated if you get your dogs neutered or spayed. There are very few behavioral differences between male and female dogs that have been “fixed.”
Final Thoughts
Overall, Cesky Terriers can make wonderful pets. They are small animals that make great companions for a variety of families, from singles to seniors and families with children. They don’t need to be exercised as much as other dogs, so they are a good choice for people who have a busy schedule or don’t have access to a yard. They are also low-shedding dogs, which is great for those who don’t want to spend a lot of time cleaning up dog hair.
Keep in mind that their cost can be prohibitive for lots of people. Additionally, because Cesky Terriers are rare in the United States, it could take you quite some time to find a reputable breeder that sells one of these dogs. If you are committed to the Cesky Terrier, you may have to wait for a long time before you can pick up your pet. The Cesky Terrier may also not be a good fit for you if you also have a cat or small mammals in your house, as your Cesky may be tempted to chase after your other pets.
If the positives of owning one of these dogs outweigh the potential barriers to purchasing one, look no further—the Cesky Terrier may be the right dog for you!

PVDF valves are chemically resistant even to the most difficult-to-handle situations, such as hot, concentrated sulfuric acid. It is a thermoplastic with similar adaptability to other thermoplastics, notably fluoropolymers, for applications.
PVDF is heated and handled before being used in extrusion and injection moulding to make PVDF pipes, sheets, coatings, films, and moulded PVDF goods including bulk containers.
Since 1964,
Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) has been used to retain corrosive and chemical fluids. PVDF copolymers were launched in the 1980s to give more material flexibility. These materials were utilised for big metal components like flexible tubing.
Lightweight pipe structures with great corrosion resistance and high flexibility or stiffness may be created using PVDF copolymer systems. PVDF is utilised in a variety of sectors, including petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage processing, and nuclear waste disposal.
The chain’s unusual structure of alternating methylene and difluoromethylene units results in a polymer material with strong crystallinity and polarity, as well as a sharp melting point.
PVDF Valves Manufacturer & Supplier company in India, therefore possesses the fluoropolymer- like durability when exposed to severe thermal, chemical, and UV conditions while keeping the characteristics of a traditional thermoplastic material.
The intrinsic characteristics of PVDF Valves improved solution choices from problems connected with brittleness, chemical or abrasion resistance for food and beverage processing industries aiming to maximise efficiency.
PVDF Valve is available as sheet, films, tubing, plate, and as an insulator in high-quality wire, and has been utilised in pipe and pumping applications. It’s often utilised in semiconductor, chemical, medical, and defence sectors, lithium-ion batteries.
Due to PVDF’s resistance properties and upper temperature thresholds, it is utilised as pipe, sheet, and interior coatings in high-temperature, hot acid, radiation environment applications.
PVDF pipe can withstand temperatures of up to 248 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius). Nuclear reactor waste disposal, chemical synthesis and manufacturing (sulfuric acid, common), air plenums, and boiler service pipe are all examples of PVDF applications.

Gambling Addiction – What You Should Know
Gambling refers to a practice in which individuals take part in a game of chance of some type. Many forms of gambling exist, from horse racing to online bingo to slot machines. Gambling can be legalized and there are a variety of countries in which it is legal for individuals to gamble. In lots of countries, gambling is against the law to activate in gambling for profit. Gambling may take many forms, from card and games to horse racing and slot machines.
The dangers of gambling are that there can be serious physical and psychological addictions that develop as a result of continued involvement in the activity. Gambling is when an individual bets money on a thing that is not known for having a predictable outcome and is done with the intention of winning some other thing. The person who is engaging in this activity knows the chance of something happening, however, not concerned about the possible outcome because they feel that they will “win” somehow. Gambling requires three components for it to be legitimate: risk, consideration, and an incentive.
There are a number of states in the United States which have made gambling not illegal, but illegal. A lotteries are considered to be “lottery tickets”, but many states consider lotteries to be gambling. In some states, lotteries are regulated by way of a lottery board. Individuals may place a bet by creating a single bid, whether they have won or not. Individuals may win, lose, or incur any level of additional debts due to a lotteries win. Individuals who win a lotteries could be required to pay taxes on the winnings or be assessed other related taxes.
In states that allow gambling, individuals may participate in casino gambling, live in casinos, or purchase tickets for reside in casinos. Live in casinos can take place in a number of locations, including bars, restaurants, tourist hotels, race courses, professional sports stadiums, and online gaming platforms. Individuals may also gamble away money from their bank accounts through non-shore gambling activities. The Internal Revenue Service considers all forms of gambling as taxable income.
A lotteries and live casinos are closely linked to gambling addiction. An individual with a gambling problem will probably visit a lotteries site or even to use casino software to generate money. Both involve putting your money, your body, and sometimes your mouth at considerable risk.
Once you bet, you’re risking both your money and your body. In the event that you gamble responsibly and know the chance you’re taking, you shouldn’t suffer from any negative consequences. Even when you gamble too much, or even when you have no idea what you’re doing, you should feel no harm. However, when you gamble too much or you do not make any rational decisions, you should think about if the loss and damage you’ve incurred could be prevented.
There are many centers and rehabilitation programs that concentrate on gambling addiction. Some 더킹 카지노 are located in the United States, but there are clinics around the world offering treatment for patients experiencing addiction to gambling behavior. The thing is that the majority of these centers and programs are not equipped to provide the professional help individuals have to kick their habit.
Treatment centers and rehabilitation programs are created to help people suffering from addiction to gambling activities overcome their problem. They use programs such as for example cognitive behavioral therapy and medication to help individuals overcome problem gambling problems. In the case of people who don’t respond to other forms of treatment, the target is to help them scale back on the quantity of gambling they perform so they stop feeling the need to gamble. The main issue with gambling addiction is that way too many people gamble, and the problem becomes uncontrollable. When people recognize the harmful ramifications of gambling and take control, they can successfully beat their gambling addiction.

Private Mortgage Insurance coverage aids you get the car loan. Many people pay PMI in 12 regular monthly installments as component of the mortgage payment. Homeowners with exclusive home loan insurance need to pay a significant premium as well as the insurance policy does not also cover them. The Federal Real Estate Administration (FHA) costs for home mortgage insurance coverage as well. Since their lending institution needs it, many borrowers take out personal home mortgage insurance. That’s because the customer is putting down less than 20 percent of the list prices as a deposit The less a consumer puts down, the greater the danger to the loan provider.
Private home mortgage insurance coverage, or PMI, is usually called for with most conventional (non federal government backed) home mortgage programs when the down payment or equity placement is less than 20% of the property worth. The advantage of LPMI is that the complete month-to-month Dave Zitting’s Email & Phone home mortgage repayment is usually lower than an equivalent loan with BPMI, but due to the fact that it’s developed into the interest rate, a debtor can not get rid of it when the equity placement gets to 20% without refinancing.
Yes, exclusive home mortgage insurance offers no security for the customer. You do not pick the mortgage insurer and also you can not bargain the costs. The one that everyone grumbles about Avenu Leadership is private home mortgage insurance coverage (PMI). LPMI is generally a function of finances that declare not to need Home loan Insurance coverage for high LTV finances.
Mortgage Insurance (additionally called mortgage warranty as well as home-loan insurance policy) is an insurance coverage which makes up loan providers or investors for losses as a result of the default of a mortgage loan Mortgage insurance policy can be either public or private relying on the insurer. On the other hand, it is not compulsory for owners of private residences in Singapore to take a home loan insurance policy.
Many people pay PMI in 12 month-to-month installments as part of the home loan repayment. Home owners with exclusive mortgage insurance policy need to pay a hefty premium as well as the insurance policy does not even cover them. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) charges for home mortgage Inc. insurance policy also. Several borrowers obtain exclusive home mortgage insurance coverage due to the fact that their lending institution requires it. That’s since the consumer is putting down less than 20 percent of the sales price as a deposit The less a customer puts down, the higher the risk to the lending institution.
It appears unAmerican, but that’s what happens when you obtain a mortgage that surpasses 80 percent loan-to-value (LTV). Borrowers incorrectly think that private mortgage insurance makes them unique, however there are no exclusive solutions used with this type of insurance policy. Not only do you pay an in advance premium for home loan insurance, but you pay a month-to-month costs, in addition to your principal, passion, insurance for residential property coverage, and also tax obligations.

Celebrating a century of variable star astronomy
Since its founding in 1911, the American Association of Variable Star Observers has been an indispensable organization for amateur astronomers, engaging stargazers in exploring the night sky.
Humans are natural explorers. Once we were clothed, fed, and found shelter, we started wondering, "How does nature work? What's around us? How did we come to be? What is our place in the universe?"
To answer these questions, we developed theories about the motions of the Sun and the Moon; we predicted eclipses and discovered the principles and laws that govern the natural world. Astronomy became part of our everyday life and our culture: We used stars to navigate our planet, tell us when to rotate our crops, and define our seasons. We incorporated starry nights and comets into our art. And early on, we noticed that some stars change their brightness in systematic ways. We recorded these stars in our most valuable historical and religious documents for posterity.
Variable star observers
Over time, astronomy became a profession for some and a hobby for others. Researchers started forming groups of like-minded enthusiasts to observe the sky, attend lectures, and discuss recent discoveries. Within those groups, they started discussing whether there was a way for those without formal preparation - amateur astronomers - to participate in scientific discovery.
In 1911, amateur astronomer William Tyler Olcott officially formed the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) under the guidance of Harvard College Observatory Director Edward C. Pickering. The association's purpose was to assist and organize amateur astronomers to collectively work to observe and understand some of the most dynamic and fascinating objects in the universe: variable stars.
Variable stars undergo brightness changes for reasons that are part of their nature and have nothing to do with cloud cover or flickering caused by Earth's atmosphere. By continuously observing those changes, we can discover intrinsic properties of these stars, understand their mechanics, and derive the physical laws describing their behaviors.
The AAVSO has become an invaluable resource and enabler of this type of research. As scribed in our incorporation document, "the Corporation is constituted for the purpose of the promotion of Variable Star Astronomy and kindred objects." This statement showcases the foresight of our founders, who recognized that variable stars could not be the only celestial objects that changed in brightness. They wanted to give flexibility to future researchers and observers, allowing them to participate in relevant research on any new and exciting discoveries using whatever means human ingenuity enabled.
Over the decades, AAVSO observers - aided by technological advances and access to sophisticated equipment - have progressed alongside professional astronomers in their quest for knowledge. AAVSO observers started with visual observations, with or without the aid of binoculars or a telescope, to compare the brightness of variable stars with non-variables. They sent their reports to the AAVSO Headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for inclusion in the AAVSO International Database (AID).
Evolving technology slowly began to enrich these successful visual observations. In the years following World War II, the AAVSO started our Photoelectric Photometry program, encouraging members to use emerging technology to obtain high-precision data on bright variable stars. This dramatically increased the accuracy of observations for those stars and added a new component for AAVSO observers: It enabled them to acquire data using filters, including colors, as opposed to naked-eye only observations.
Community and communication
An essential part of the AAVSO has always been building an international community of individuals united under the umbrella of astronomy. The organization's eagerly anticipated annual meetings, starting with the first one in November 1917, are places to exchange ideas, celebrate scientific results achieved with AAVSO data, build new friendships, and "geek out" together. In 1972, the AAVSO founded the Journal of the American Association of Variable Star Observers (JAAVSO) to disseminate information from scientific presentations given at the AAVSO meetings. The journal also welcomed content on variable star scientific discoveries, authored by both professional and amateur astronomers.
As the internet provided the means for immediate communication, mailed letters, paper alerts requesting observations, and telegrams were replaced by email groups, digital alerts, and online forums. Requested data became instantly available. Observers shared targets immediately and participated in animated discussions and clarifications on observing campaigns. Our international community started communicating in real time.
Keeping up with the times
By the last decade of the 20th century, instruments, filters, and larger telescopes had become even more affordable to citizen astronomers. In the 1990s, our observers started attaching CCD cameras to their telescopes, pushing their observing capabilities to ever-fainter objects. They began purchasing various filters to provide color information on stars of interest. And they started using DSLR cameras for data acquisition.
By the early 2000s, appropriate software tools became essential to extract photometry, access star-finding charts with suitable comparison stars, submit observations online, and discuss and publish results. The AAVSO adjusted to these new demands by focusing on our online presence and offered resources. We expanded our educational and training portfolio to include manuals disseminated through our website, online courses, and a peer-mentoring group. We also developed software to facilitate data analysis.
In 2006, with the help of volunteers, we built our Variable Star Index (VSX) - a supercatalog of current information on variable stars, which has become the backbone of our databases and a valuable reference for researchers worldwide. We formed an active help desk to immediately assist observers. And we started focusing even more closely on data validation, providing feedback to observers when we find discrepancies. The latter is a primary reason why professional astronomers trust our database - we are thorough.
And the professional astronomical community's trust in our work has only increased. More and more professional astronomers request AAVSO observers' help to collect and analyze critical data for their research. We have joined high-profile international collaborations, including with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN). We have initiated two new databases - for exoplanets and for spectroscopy - to accommodate small telescope data for these fields and expand the impact of our observers' data in these areas. And we are now accepting relevant data using the new generation of detectors: CMOS cameras. We are interested in exploring the use of such equipment, especially as manufacturers indicate they may begin phasing out support for CCDs.
The AAVSO itself has also grown with time. Our AID photometry database now hosts more than 44 million data points, with 2 million of those collected in 2020 alone. VSX contains more than 2 million stars. Our data appear in a multitude of peer-reviewed astronomical manuscripts and press releases, while our observers are the superstars among groups of scientific collaborators, thanks to their ability to uniquely respond to alerts and provide data from all over the world. As large space- and ground-based professional photometric surveys reveal new stellar wonders, we are invited to pursue them. The observers, volunteers, researchers, educators, and students of the AAVSO are more essential than ever for the progress of science. We live in the renaissance of variable star astronomy.

Pakistan’s agriculture sector is crucial because it is responsible for providing food, shelter, and clothing to a massive population of 180 million people which is growing at a rate of 2 percent per annum. Land is a valuable asset and a symbol of prestige for the rural population in Pakistan. According to the recent Pakistan Economic Survey of 2013- 14, the agriculture sector contributes around 21 percent to GDP and provides employment for around 45 percent of the work force, who are primarily based in rural areas. The total geographic area of Pakistan is approximately 79.6 million hectares. Around 27.7 percent of Pakistan’s land is currently under cultivation and the cultivatable waste lands offer good possibilities for crop production. The total cropped area of Pakistan increased from 21.82 million hectares in 1990-91 to 22.72 million hectares in 2010-11 [Agricultural Statistics of Pakistan (2010-11)] and the total population of Pakistan increased from 118 million to 175 million during the same time period. Similarly the tenancy status of land management and land ownership pattern has changed over time. For example, large landowners are shifting their preferences from managing their land on their own towards leasing or sharecropping the land to be managed by others [Agricultural Census (2010)].

The
vitamin C is one of the most important nutritional elements for Health of the skin. Therefore, it is a common ingredient in any cosmetic or lotion destined to the care of the dermis; beyond being able to incorporate it into the body through different foods.
However, for years there has been a popular belief that using cosmetics with vitamin C in summer is not suitable. Specifically, many people think that this micronutrient is incompatible with sunlight and summer.
This belief occurs because vitamin C is thought to be photosensitive and there are numerous creams or serums that use an acidic pH for their formulation with this micronutrient.
Thus, from ‘Todo Disca’ we deny that vitamin C or any cosmetic that incorporates this vitamin is incompatible with the sun’s rays. And it is that this micronutrient occupies a double function when it comes to the health of the skin in the body.
On the one hand, it helps fight free radicals that oxidize the skin. And on the other hand, having good levels of vitamin C causes a greater production of collagen, this being another transcendental substance for skin well-being.
Vitamin C prevents blemishes
Contrary to what many people may think, vitamin C is a micronutrient that helps reduce sun damage and treat skin blemishes. Therefore, using products that incorporate this vitamin in summer is not contraindicated; if not rather the opposite.
Vitamin C reduces the amount of melanin we have in the skin and therefore acts preventively, but also works as a corrector to combat sun spots that may appear.
In these cases, the most suitable products are those made with a vitamin C formula and a neutral pH. But in addition to knowing how to select the cosmetic, it is also important to know its use when we expose the skin to the sun.
An important contribution is that the ultraviolet rays of the sun destroy the vitamin C present in the skin. The greater the exposure to the sun, the greater the need to increase the levels of this micronutrient.
Thus, experts recommend using products with vitamin C at two specific times: Before applying a sunscreen on the skin or after exposure to the sun.
And in this regard it is important to highlight that exposure to the sun’s rays must always be moderate, since prolonged sunbathing can generate important health conditions; like skin cancer.

Книга 2013 IEEE 13th International Conference on Data Mining Workshops
The 13rd IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (IEEE ICDM 2013) has solicited workshops on topics related to new research directions and novel applications of data mining. The goal of the ICDM workshops program (IEEE ICDMW) is to identify grand challenges in data mining, to explore the possible paths to address these urgent problems, and to solicit broad participation from the data mining community and other relevant research communities. IEEE ICDMW 2013 was held on December 7 in Dallas, Texas, USA, and was immediately followed by IEEE ICDM 2013. This year, we have received 41 workshop proposals, a 141% increase from the number of proposals in the previous year. Of those submissions, 26 workshop proposals were accepted through a thorough review by the ICDMW workshop organization committee. 18 workshops eventually made their way to prepare their workshop programs after a rigorous paper review process. The final program consisted of 13 full-day workshops and 5 halfday workshops. Overall, the ICDMW Program received 364 submissions, which is a 19% increase from the number of submissions in the previous year. Of those submissions, 183 papers were accepted. The workshop proposal acceptance rate is about 44%, and the workshop papers acceptance rate is about 50%. The highly competitive acceptance rates have resulted in the highquality and exciting ICDMW proceedings. IEEE ICDMW 2013 covered many new research and application areas as well as fundamental data mining topics. The traditional and fundamental disciplines included spatial and spatiotemporal data mining, optimization, concept drift, domain driven data mining, opinion mining, and sentiment analysis. Emerging disciplines included high-dimensional data mining, causal discovery, cloud and distributed computing, data mining in service applications, and of course, big data. IEEE ICDMW 2013 provided discussion forums for exciting applications including biological data mining in healthcare, data mining in networks, data privacy, and data mining case studies. The ICDMW Program also explored new areas of data markets in sciences and businesses, data mining in experimental economics, and data mining in astronomical problems. Many people worked together in organizing IEEE ICDMW 2013. We would like to thank all workshop organizers for the high-quality workshop proposals received. The workshop organizers are the key to the success of the ICDMW program. We should thank them all for their tremendous effort putting together 18 exciting workshops in the final program.

Обсуждается возможность использования метода опорных векторов и нейронных сетей для предсказания индексов DJIA и S&P500.
In this paper, we want to introduce experimental economics to the field of data mining and vice versa. It continues related work on mining deterministic behavior rules of human subjects in data gathered from experiments. Game-theoretic predictions partially fail to work with this data. Equilibria also known as game-theoretic predictions solely succeed with experienced subjects in specific games – conditions, which are rarely given. Contemporary experimental economics offers a number of alternative models apart from game theory. In relevant literature, these models are always biased by philosophical plausibility considerations and are claimed to fit the data. An agnostic data mining approach to the problem is introduced in this paper – the philosophical plausibility considerations follow after the correlations are found. No other biases are regarded apart from determinism. The dataset of the paper “Social Learning in Networks” by Choi et al 2012 is taken for evaluation. As a result, we come up with new findings. As future work, the design of a new infrastructure is discussed.

The Canadian military needs a greater awareness of the security risks associated with military operations in remote areas.
The Canadian Forces (CF) has a number of operations in North America that could be disrupted by natural disasters, including an earthquake in the United States.
One such operation in the Yukon Territory, known as Operation Snowstorm, is currently under review.
A 2016 report by the Canadian Forces Accountability Review Board noted that the CF could be “in a position to be at greater risk if there were a catastrophic earthquake that would cause a major loss of life in the area.”
The review said that a natural disaster could cause a significant increase in COVID-19 transmission and transmission of other coronavirus (COVID-2) strains in the territory.
This would likely result in the death of many CF personnel.
As such, the review concluded that the Canadian Army should consider conducting training in the areas where the operations are taking place, particularly to better understand the potential security risks.
The review also recommended the CF to “develop an operational strategy to address the operational risks associated in the remote areas.”
The government should also work with the CF and other partners to better integrate the operation into the country’s COVID response plans.
“The risk to the safety and security of the Canadian Armed Forces in these remote areas is significant, as the risks to Canadians, the public, and our international partners are real,” the report said.
A report published by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in June 2018 found that the U.S. military has suffered an increase in coronaviruses in remote locations since the end of the Ebola pandemic in 2014.
The IISS report said the increase has been driven in part by the U,S.
Air Force’s use of unmanned drones to collect data on airborne COVIDs, including a COVID variant.
According to the report, the UAVs “could cause significant problems for the CF, including the loss of aircraft, the loss or theft of equipment, the interruption of air operations, and the loss and diversion of aircraft to areas where transmission of COVID may occur.”
The report also noted that while some military operations are conducted in remote communities, they do not always have the “safety and security” of Canadian military personnel in them.
It said the military does not always consider the potential “risk to the health and safety of Canadian Armed Force personnel” in remote environments.
“In general, the CF is not aware of any instances in which the CF has had to suspend or cancel its operations in the event of a potential disruption of military operations,” the IISS said.
The report found that, since 2014, the number of airborne COVD-2 infections in Canada has increased by 20 per cent, from 10,000 to 35,000 per year.
The number of cases in Canada also rose by an average of 12 per cent a year, from 7,858 to 15,051.
The military also reported an increase of 2,700 new cases of COVDs between January 2016 and March 2018.
It also noted an increase by 1,100 new cases in the last three months of 2017 and an increase overall of 11,700 cases.
However, the report did not find any evidence that military personnel are at increased risk from COVID.
According the report: The IISC found that a recent review of the military’s response to the virus, which was completed in late January, found that “military personnel are not at risk in the absence of a sudden, catastrophic event.”
The military does, however, “generally accept that there are some risks associated” with its activities, and “recommend that all military personnel involved in activities related to the COVID pandemic be thoroughly briefed and thoroughly monitored to the extent possible.”
The IIS also noted the military should consider training CF personnel in the “specificity, operational and security issues” of the remote area.
“Consequently, the service should establish a contingency plan to ensure the security of military personnel and equipment while they are in the region, as well as to ensure that military assets and facilities are prepared to be used for operational purposes,” the statement read.
“As the service prepares for future operations in regions where the threat of a COVE outbreak has not been present, it is critical that all elements of the service have an understanding of the threats and challenges that they face in the field.”
While the military has taken steps to reduce the risks associated the remote operations, the country is still dealing with an outbreak of coronavaccine-related coronaviral disease in the military.
The United States military has confirmed that its soldiers contracted the coronavac virus from a soldier infected with the strain that has spread across the country.
It has been the focus of international criticism over the past few weeks as thousands of military members have tested positive for COVID, including some who are

Unemployment numbers are starting to fall, but with President Joe Biden’s empowering of OSHA, that number increases exponentially. If OSHA can legally mandate businesses with more than 100 employees, force their employees to get the Covid-19 vaccine or take a Covid-19 test once a week. OSHA has said that they’re not even sure if they can mandate that, so what’s the point of all of this? Is Biden just playing games, or does he seriously think he’s doing a good job?
Biden doesn’t even think he’s a tolerant tyrant because he doesn’t follow the same rules he places on everyone else. That’s the best way to determine if a politician is becoming too oppressive. They refuse to follow their own rules. Biden won’t mandate then-White House staff to get the Covid-19 vaccine, but you have to. Wrong. Take this to court. All Covid-19 vaccinations available in the United States are under emergency use authorization. According to 21 U.S. Code 360bbb-3, you cannot force someone to take any medical product under emergency use authorization.
He pushed against Republican governors for not mandating the Covid-19 vaccine, but wasn’t that Biden’s campaign promise? Masks should be optional, and Trump’s vaccine isn’t safe? Words can’t describe how mad the American people should be right now. On top of that, Biden’s infrastructure bill isn’t going to push through because Democrats are getting tired of his massive spending.
Biden says he refuses to give in to this type of “politics” where the 10th amendment to the Constitution gives states the ability to govern themselves. Since he’s getting pushback from several governors, he’s not happy.
Can you see what happens when you place someone into the highest authority after they’ve spent their entire political life accomplishing nothing, lying to Americans, and covering for his son? If the Constitution wasn’t stopping him, Biden indeed is turning into a dictator, or at least he would.
Biden also claims that science tells us to take the Covid-19 vaccine, but why is it that the FDA just blocked Covid-19 booster shots if they’re lifesaving? Something doesn’t add up.
In the same sentence, he says that the Covid-19 vaccine will protect our economic growth, but he also wants to fire everyone who refuses to get vaccinated. That’s a double standard that OSHA can’t even get behind. Somebody has to impeach Biden before he takes it too far.
The Constitution wasn’t written to give rights to people, and it was written to stop the government from taking natural rights from citizens. Under Biden, the Constitution is weakened more every day, and the American people are growing tired of Biden’s constant grab for power.

The COVID-19 pandemic with the suddenly announced lockdown in India caused great stress to already resource-constrained rural mission hospitals. Frugal innovations helped some of the mission hospitals cope with the lockdown and resume regular work. Personal Protective Equipment was made locally and staff were trained to take care of the infected patients. Cell phones and the zoom app helped them with communications. The Gas Insufflation Less Laparoscopic surgical technique helped them perform safe surgeries and allow quicker turnover of patients. The innovative Laptop Cystoscope helped in follow up treatment of patients treated earlier by specialists and for emergency treatment. Empowering local mission hospital doctors and modern communication methods helped these hospitals maintain services during the pandemic.
The World Health Organization recognized in March 2020 the existence of a pandemic for the new coronavirus that appeared in China, in late 2019, and whose disease was named COVID-19. In this context, the SBAIT (Brazilian Society of Integrated Care for Traumatized Patients) conducted a survey with 219 trauma and emergency surgeons regarding the availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) and the role of the surgeon in this pandemic by means of an electronic survey. It was observed that surgeons have been acting under inadequate conditions, with a lack of basic supplies as well as more specific equipment such as N95 masks and facial shields for the care of potential victims who may be contaminated. The latter increases the risk of contamination of professionals, resulting in potential losses in the working teams. Immediate measures must be taken to guarantee access to safety equipment throughout the country, since all trauma victims and/or patients with emergency surgical conditions must be treated as potential carriers of COVID-19.

The financial system is filled with work that could be automated. As for now, these tasks are done manually which consumes a lot of time and human effort. The manual work leads to layers of processes. This could be sorted out into more easy jobs with the help of RPA.
Automation of these processes will earn accurate and timely results without any error. And will play a major role to streamline the financial workforce. RPA IS software that can automate voluminous highly repetitive, short cycle tasks.
However, RPA is quite insufficient at performing tasks that need specialization and critical analysis. RPA is efficient enough to do these lengthy tasks in a short time and provide better results. However, even if the task will be fully digitalized humans can still step in to check.
It helps a human to software interaction to software to software interaction. This could help a great deal in cutting down extra burden into more focusing on work that will give return more value.
Learn how RPA streamlines the financial process?
There are several ways in which RPA has come out as a solution to streamline the financial process. It streamlines the procedure of billing. It can help with instantaneous prediction and view of forecasts.
RPA can help enhance the timeliness of the information and provide information to the business to make quick decisions. RPA works as a digital assistant which can be used in analyzing historical data, gathering financial data, and generating predictions to help the employees to focus on value-added work.
The analysis of the log created by RPA will help to make better decisions. There are few fields in which RPA could be used to optimize the work. This includes financial management, accounting and bookkeeping, financial analysis, data management, and bank statement and billing appeasement.
Every business includes the sector of finance and RPA could enhance efficiency and improve financial compliance. It can also help finances with tax planning and claims processing. Along with that, it manages client information gathered from optical character recognition which will make the client on boarding process and KYC streamlined.

Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart. (Psalm 119:111)
While I grew up enjoying diversity, I did not grow up knowing much about my heritage—and therefore I didn’t celebrate it. On one side of my family, the older generations encouraged us to get ‘Americanized,’ in hopes of better opportunities. To them, americanization equalled opportunity. For them, dreams were things that often went unrealized, for opportunities were not afforded to those from a country where poverty was as common as brown eyes and brown skin…
The reality of my ancestors experiencing a new land brings me to think about how Moses and the grumbling generation of Israelites must have felt when they herd and saw the beautiful promised land but were not able to enter it or enjoy it. It is a fact that tons of my ancestors never made it across the border… For some of my ancestors, coming to America was a dream. For the indigenous part of my heritage, ‘America’ was a nightmare that came upon them through the idea of someone else’s ‘manifest destiny.’ When talking to other Latinas and indigenous people—both Christian and non-Christian—I have discovered that we are alike in many ways. Outwardly, we display very different and beautiful shades of brown. Inwardly, the fight and fate of our ancestors still brings a force of reckoning that is undeniable. And even though we may be separated by faith and last names, we share a commonality that unites our hearts—to make the dreams of our ancestors a reality for future generations. A dream to escape decades of poverty and to have an actual house instead of a makeshift shed. A dream to enjoy land, freedoms and rights that are equal to those who have migrated here. A dream of a life worth telling your great-grandchildren about.
I am that great-grandchild…
God, who is rich in mercy and grace, has given me a new life and a new identity. He has provided for me a heritage that will outlast all generations. When I read Psalm 119, it is verse 111 that inspires me and pierces my heart at the same time:
Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
God’s testimonies are the countless and innumerable ways that the Creator has loved and cared for his creation and his people. From general revelation in his creation to specific revelation in his word, God has displayed his goodness, love, and justice to all. Maybe you’re reading this today and, like me, you feel a disconnect with who you are because of your past. Maybe you were adopted, or maybe you grew up not knowing one or both of your parents. Maybe you were taken away from your family, or maybe you had to make the tough decision to leave your family behind. Maybe you don’t know where you’re from. I want you to know that your feelings surrounding that disconnect are valid. Your pain and scars are real, and your story is not done being written. Because of his great love for you and me, God wants us to experience that overwhelming sense of assurance that no earthquake can shake. By grace we have been saved to be alive as God’s chosen people during this specific corridor of time. Even though we may have few stories of our ethnic heritage, we have a faith that is full of testimonies of God’s goodness and faithfulness. Ω
Reflect: What elements, stories, images or values shape your faith heritage? Where do you see God’s testimonies—that is, God’s goodness, love and justice—unfolding now? What is this? Lent is the 40 days, excluding Sundays, before Easter. Traditionally it is a time of intense reflection and pilgrimage. To help you on this journey, Sanctuary has put together 40 stories from people both within and beyond the congregation, with associated questions for reflection and prayer. A reading will be uploaded every day of Lent. From Elicia Horton,‘His testimonies are my heritage’ in His Testimonies My Heritage. Women of Color on the Word of God. The Good Book Company, 2019, pp 21-27. #Lent2021. Real People, Real Stories: 40 Readings for Lent, Sanctuary, 2021. Image credit: Rachel Coyne on Unsplash.

Abstract:
Iodine is important for normal growth and psychomotor development. While infants below 6 months of age receive iodine from breast milk or fortified infant formula, the introduction of complementary foods poses a serious risk for deteriorating iodine status. This cross-sectional analysis assessed the iodine status of six-month-old South African infants and explored its associations with feeding practices and psychomotor milestone development. Iodine concentrations were measured in infant (n = 386) and maternal (n = 371) urine (urinary iodine concentration [UIC]), and in breast milk (n = 257 [breast milk iodine concentrations]). Feeding practices and psychomotor milestone development were assessed in all infants. The median (25th–75th percentile) UIC in infants was 345 (213–596) μg/L and was significantly lower in stunted (302 [195–504] μg/L) than non-stunted (366 [225–641] μg/L) infants. Only 6.7% of infants were deficient. Maternal UIC (128 [81–216] μg/L; rs = 0.218, p < 0.001) and breast milk iodine concentrations (170 [110–270] μg/kg; rs = 0.447, p < 0.0001) were associated with infant UIC. Most infants (72%) were breastfed and tended to have higher UIC than non-breastfed infants (p = 0.074). Almost all infants (95%) consumed semi-solid or solid foods, with commercial infant cereals (60%) and jarred infant foods (20%) being the most common solid foods first introduced. Infants who reported to consume commercial infant cereals ≥4 days weekly had significantly higher UIC (372 [225–637] μg/L) than those reported to consume commercial infant cereals seldom or never (308 [200–517] μg/L; p = 0.023). No associations between infant UIC and psychomotor developmental scores were observed. Our results suggest that iodine intake in the studied six-month-old infants was adequate. Iodine in breast milk and commercial infant cereals potentially contributed to this adequate intake

Data from: Discrete choice modelling of natal dispersal: \"choosing\" where to breed from a finite set of available areasMichalis Vardakis, Peter Goos, Frank Adriaensen & Erik Matthysen
1. Classic natal dispersal studies focus mainly on distance travelled. Although distances capture some of the main selective pressures related to dispersal, this approach cannot easily incorporate the properties of the actual destination vs. the available alternatives. Recently, movement ecology studies have addressed questions on movement decisions in relation to availability of resources and/or availability of suitable habitats through the use of discrete choice models (DCMs), a widely used type of models within econometrics, which...

Fossils of ancient reptiles from different continents are changing long-accepted views.T rex was scaly, not feathered. The pendulum is swinging back to old views about the mighty tyrannosaurs. In recent years, evolutionists have played games with phylogenetic charts, resulting in imaginary feathers being put on some of the mightiest dinosaurs. Now, the BBC News reports, “Study casts doubt on the idea of ‘big fluffy T. rex’.” Helen Briggs writes, “Researchers say the huge predator had scales much like modern reptiles rather than feathers or fluff.” Of course, the true believers can rescue the feathers by proposing that “the dinosaur may have ditched its feathers because it no longer needed insulation when it reached gigantic proportions.” And that’s exactly what some of them are saying. Stephen Brusatte, for instance, is still holding out for imaginary feathers. “Just because we don’t see them doesn’t mean they weren’t there.” Try that argument on gnomes, fairies, and leprechauns.Japanese duckbill drowned in the sea. The largest dinosaur ever found in Japan was located in marine sediments. Duckbilled dinosaurs are known from all over the world, including North and South America, Eurasia, and even Antarctica. But Science Daily comments, “it is extremely rare for a complete skeleton of a land dinosaur to be discovered in a marine stratum.” Something amazing happened to bury an eight-meter-long beast in the sea. Normally, a carcass would rot or be eaten by worms before it could be covered by slowly-accumulating sediments.More soft tissue found, this time in a plesiosaur. A press release from Paleowire announces a new paper in The Science of Nature about a fossil of a long-necked marine reptile—a plesiosaur—found in Germany. The discoverers believe dark stains represent collagen proteins.The post-cranial skeleton preserves very likely soft tissues composed of buff-coloured and dark-coloured structures around the vertebral column and hindlimb of the animal. A network of buff-coloured fibres located posterior to the hindlimb most likely represents phosphatised collagen fibres as already found in some ichthyosaur specimens, confirming that wing area in plesiosaurians was much larger than that suggested by skeletal remains alone. The specimen also contains gastroliths (sand-sized grains mainly composed of quartz) in the stomach cavity suggesting the animal spent at least some of its time in shallow coastal waters, tens or hundreds of kilometres from the final place of burial.If the stains are phosphatized or otherwise mineralized, they would not consist of original proteinaceous material. Not wanting to harm the specimen, the paleontologists did not run chemical analysis on the stains, so some doubt remains about the nature of the soft tissue impressions.Not all plesiosaurs had long necks. Speaking of plesiosaurs, what do you call a short-necked plesiosaur? A pliosaur. That’s the terminology Current Biology uses about a “new unusual pliosaur marine reptile” found in Russia that they claim illustrates “Plasticity and Convergence in the Evolution of Short-Necked Plesiosaurs.” Whenever you see the word “convergence” or “convergent evolution” in a paper, you know the evolutionists are mixing up some Darwin Flubber for their storytelling. Here, they mix in a lot: “Profound convergence characterizes the evolution of short-necked plesiosaurs,” they say, confabulating with Jargonwocky to claim that “Pliosaurs repeatedly evolved longirostrine piscivorous [fish-eating] forms.” Maybe no one will notice the flubber in the flurry of jargon:This underscores the ecological diversity of derived pliosaurids and reveals a more complex evolutionary history than their iconic representation as gigantic apex predators of Mesozoic marine ecosystems suggests. Collectively, these data demonstrate an even higher degree of morphological plasticity and convergence in the evolution of plesiosaurs than previously thought and suggest the existence of an optimal ecomorphology for short-necked piscivorous plesiosaurs through time and across phylogeny.This says, in simple English, that plesiosaurs evolved to look alike, except when they didn’t. The Darwin Flubber is seen in the word “plasticity.” Flubber is flexible, like Silly Putty. But rather than admit that they mixed the Flubber in by intelligent design to save Darwin, they “suggest” that the environment did it. When reptiles eat fish in the sea, they “suggest,” the “eco” (in ecomorphology) of the environment creates an optimal “morphology” (in ecomorphology), or neck shape. If this were a law of nature “through time and across phylogeny” as they seem to think, then wouldn’t all fish-eating sea creatures converge on short necks? What seems to be “plastic” here is not the shape of the marine reptiles, but the evolutionary explanations for them.Profound convergence characterizes the evolution of short-necked plesiosaursIn Live Science, Laura Geggel took the Darwin Flubber and bounced it like a superball toy. “Convergent evolution happens when two species with similar lifestyles evolve to have similar adaptations, such as a long snout,” she spouts confidently, with the authors of the paper giving her a fist bump. “In this case, the finding shows that plesiosaurs had more convergence than previously thought, Fischer said.” Then Geggel went on to report for Live Science that atheists tend to be smarter than religious people.Was a small pond an allosaur graveyard? Observation: “The Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry is the densest collection of Jurassic dinosaur fossils,” Science Daily says. “Unlike typical Jurassic bone beds, it is dominated by the famous predatory dinosaur Allosaurus.” Explanation: the beasts died in droughts, but their carcasses washed into a small pond over and over “in flood periods” and rotted, such that pond creatures and other dinosaurs didn’t want to eat them. Is that credible? Look at the problem:Since its discovery in the 1920s, numerous hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin of the quarry. Were the dinosaurs poisoned? Did they die due to drought? Were they trapped in thick mud?Other observations call for explanation. There are no gnaw marks on the bones, suggesting the animals were not fighting or preyed upon by other dinosaurs after they died. If the site was a small pond, there is an “unusual lack of typical pond fossils at the site.” Also found are “calcite and barite concretions found on bones excavated from the quarry.” It doesn’t sound like this latest story is any better than the previous “numerous hypotheses” that were proposed. Maybe it’s time to think outside the box and let some creation paleontologists have their say.Critic has doubts about dinosaur protein preservation. Reading between the lines of an article on Phys.org, it appears that Dr. Mike Buckley at the University of Manchester is still uneasy about Mary Schweitzer’s evidence of original protein found in dinosaur bones. He claims he “was not intending to debunk the previous studies” when he took another look at the reported dinosaur collagen and found it remarkably similar to ostrich and alligator collagen; but he says, “we soon realised that our results were pulling the rug from beneath the paradigm that collagen might survive the ravages of deep time.” Buckley thinks the reported findings must be due to contamination, because “the survival of collagen sequences beyond 3.5 million years old has not been achieved and validated by any other team.”The trouble is, it’s not just collagen, but blood vessels, osteocytes, and medullary bone that have been identified by Schweitzer and others. No doubt she will have a response to this new challenge. In the meantime, Buckley’s statements confirm that (1) evolutionary scientists did not expect soft tissue to survive in dinosaur bones and that (2) they believe original protein should not remain after a few million years. Radio host Bob Enyart remembers on his dinosaur soft tissue page that in 2008 Buckley “strongly opposed Schweitzer’s discovery, as of 2011 has become an advocate for the validity of the soft tissue finds.” Maybe he is having second thoughts now. But if carbon-14 has been found in dinosaur bones, as Enyart documents, evolutionists are out of options. Due to carbon-14’s short half-life of 5,730 years, dinosaur bones could not even be one million years old before all of it would have decayed. Soft tissue suggests they are much younger than that.These findings are putting the squeeze on the Darwin Party. We’ve seen that dinosaurs and marine reptiles died in floods, and were buried rapidly, and that even land dinosaurs can be found in marine layers. We’ve seen that dinosaurs don’t fit a simple evolutionary ancestry, requiring Darwinians to come up with ad-hoc rescue devices like convergence to keep their story from being falsified. We’ve seen soft tissue preservation that should not exist. Darwinians are in retreat. Remember that without their precious millions of years, Darwinism is dead. There would have to be a creation explanation. So theistic evolutionists: stop leaning on this broken reed of Darwinism and millions of years. Get ahead of the trend that’s coming, the realization that Darwin was wrong, and long ages are wrong, too. Is Genesis history? Watch the film again, and be reminded of the amazing “convergence” of multiple independent lines of evidence that shows the Bible was right after all.(Visited 888 times, 1 visits today)FacebookTwitterPinterestSave分享0

The European Union unveiled plans Thursday that would require smartphone makers to adopt a single charging method for mobile devices.
The EU Commission proposed legislation Thursday that would mandate USB-C cables for charging, technology that many device makers have already adopted.The main holdout is Apple, which has resisted the bloc’s efforts for a unified standard.iPhones come with the company’s own Lightning charging port, though the newest models come with cables that can be plugged into a USB-C socket.
The push by the EU will certainly be cheered by the millions of people who have searched through a drawer full of cables for the right charger.But the EU also wants to cut down on the 11,000 metric tons of electronic waste thrown out every year by Europeans.
The commission said the typical person living in the EU owns at least three chargers, and uses two regularly, but 38 per cent of people report not being able to charge their phones at least once because they couldn’t find a compatible charger.Some 420 million mobile phones or portable electronic devices were sold in the EU last year.
WATCH | Why Europe wants one charging standard for cellphones
EU planning one charging port for all mobile devices 10 hours ago 0:29 In what may be a setback for Apple, the European Union is planning to introduce the USB-C connector as the standard charging port for all smartphones, tablets, cameras, headphones, portable speakers and handheld video game consoles.0:29 “Chargers power all our most essential electronic devices.
With more and more devices, more and more chargers are sold that are not interchangeable or not necessary.We are putting an end to that,” Thierry Breton, the EU’s internal market commissioner, said.
“With our proposal, European consumers will be able to use a single charger for all their portable electronics — an important step to increase convenience and reduce waste.”
Under the proposed law, which must still be scrutinized by the European Parliament, phones, tablets, digital cameras, handheld video game consoles, headsets and headphones sold in the European Union would all have to come with USB-C charging ports.
After attempting for more than a decade to cajole the industry into adopting a common standard, the EU’s executive commission is pushing the issue.
A charger that works in all new smartphones? EU pushes Apple to use same technology as rivals Samsung ditches headphone jack after jabs at jackless rivals.

Banking in the age of augmented reality
John Schlesinger, chief enterprise architect at @Temenos | 07:27 Wednesday 21st February 2018 | 9
The Pokémon craze of 2016 showed us two things First, all someone needs to engage in a compelling augmented reality (AR) experience is a smart phone Second, that an enterprise running out of steam can be made compelling through the addition of augmented reality .
How does this relate to banking? Any interaction between a person and a bank should be treated as a game. That is, it should have a set of game mechanics suited to the role of the user, in other words, suited to the game being played, just like the original Pokémon. For instance, in retail banking, the game looks like a 'bucket list', where a person builds a list of goals to meet, and changes their lifestyle to achieve the items on the list. So, in retail banking, AR could be added to the bucket list game to make it more compelling.
The revised payment service directive, PSD2, will enable any vendor with a bucket list game to offer it to most Europeans, notwithstanding Brexit. A bucket list game made compelling by AR is the market entrant banks have been fearing and fighting for years.
What would the game look like and how would AR make it compelling?
The game would be played with an intelligent agent that can see and categorise all players' spending and sources of income. If all players' DDAs are subject to PSD2, then this data will be available to the agent. The agent first helps the players create and prioritise their goals. Then it uses knowledge of the player's lifestyle to define how and when goals can be achieved, preferably using multiple finance products to get there. It tracks players' progress and informs them if the trajectory toward meeting goals slips or improves.
In a traditional approach, all this would be done in a physical location. AR takes the game to the players' daily lives, augmenting every potential purchase with a visual cue rendering its effect on the game. Paying for a goal like a car, a house or an appliance might show the goal being captured, like a Pokémon, with a reward. Conversely, spending that increases the gap to meet goals might show the Pokémon getting further away and losing points.
Banks must implement intelligent technology that can capitalise on breakthroughs like AR in order to ensure that they are not disintermediated in the new world of Open Banking.

Hemophilia has the striking reputation of being the characteristic disease of many of the European royalty. However, naturally, it not only affects blue blood lineages, but
affects approximately 1,125,000 men all over the world. What is hemophilia? What are your causes?
Hemophilia is a rare, generally inherited disorder consisting of a lack of clotting factors (a series of proteins that allow the blood to clot normally), resulting in an increased risk of
suffer severe bleeding.
In fact, depending on the degree to which the disease manifests itself, hemophiliac patients can even suffer
spontaneous bleeding (without apparent cause) or, also, suffer serious bleeding in certain parts of the body (such as the brain) due to trauma or injuries that would not be significant under normal conditions (such as receiving a vaccine or a mild head injury).
In very rare cases,
hemophilia can be acquired; In this form of the disease, it is the body’s own immune system that attacks the clotting factors. Some of the possible reasons this can occur are pregnancy, certain autoimmune conditions, cancer, or multiple sclerosis.
The vast majority of times, however, hemophilia is an inherited disease that is transmitted by a mutation in the X chromosome. For this reason, it almost always affects children and
it is transmitted from mothers to children.
It is this form of transmission that explains its disproportionate incidence among royal families in Europe. It was introduced by Queen Victoria of England, and
given the inbreeding practiced by the different lineages it ended up affecting the royal houses of England, Prussia (Germany), Spain and Russia; Some of the most significant cases were Tsarévich Alekséi Romanov, son of the last Russian Tsar (Nicholas II), and Juan Carlos I de Borbón’s uncles, Gonzalo and Alfonso. What are your symptoms?
The only visible signs of hemophilia are from bleeding that patients experience more easily. For this reason, a person may develop hemophilia if small wounds, such as cuts, scrapes, or injections, cause a
profuse bleeding difficult to stop
It is also common for people with hemophilia to appear very easily
deep or large bruises, even with minor bumps.
In the most extreme cases, patients may suffer spontaneous internal bleeding, manifesting as unexplained nasal bleeding, swelling, and
blood in urine or stools. How is it treated?
The only cure available today for hemophilia is
liver transplantation, which on the other hand is rare if it is not for other reasons (such as cirrhosis). However, it is currently common for replacement therapy to be administered (that is, injecting the deficient clotting factor into the patient’s blood), which can be punctual (when there is a bleeding episode), periodic or continuous.
In addition, they can be used
other strategies, such as treatment with desmopressin, clotting medications, or fibrin sealants. Also, in a complementary way, physiotherapy (to alleviate the symptoms of bleeding in the joints) or vaccines are important to reduce the risk of contracting diseases from the use of blood products.

Corporate Social Responsibility, by definition, is the permanent commitment of a company to contribute and behave ethically economically, in the care of its workers, the local community and society.
However, for years, this concept has not been fully realized, as many companies continued to operate in isolation and focused exclusively on their financial results. On the other hand, in recent years, the different social manifestations, historical struggles for the care of the environment and the demands of the people, have challenged organizations to better fulfill this commitment.
“Today, with a socio-environmental crisis ahead, companies through their technologies, workforce and capabilities, can play a fundamental role with the help of solutions that respond to the needs of the community. However, for these to be effective, it is not enough for the organization to push them, the will of the other parties will also be paramount ”, points out Pablo Sepúlveda, director of Social Innovation at Proyecta Impacto.
Therefore, the integration of the communities into different organizations means incorporating a vision in which the business is no longer alien to society in general, which implies taking charge, as a company, of its environment and becoming one more actor to solve current problems. To do this, the first thing is to identify who are part of these communities, understand what their challenges and concerns are, and then analyze how the company can be part of the solution.
“Some more specific mechanisms are to include the communities in the decision-making processes of the company, either in directories or other instances. Complementarily, it would be advisable to include processes of disclosure of economic, social and environmental results to the community, showing transparency and reliability of the process, ”adds Sepúlveda.
Like any positive act, it brings with it different benefits, both business and social, and it is that for people the labor market expands, technological advances increase and opens the door to pertinent solutions for their problems. While, on the other hand, companies improve their economic performance, reduce production cost and develop a better reputation.
Therefore, the challenge for the new Chilean business community lies in working together with people, attending to their needs and protecting the environment, which will allow the advancement of a more sustainable economy.

Dog Car Safety: What You Need To Know How To Keep Dog Safe In Car
Estimated Read Time: 5 minutes : In this blog, we learn all about how to keep a dog safe in a car. We’ll discover what equipment you need, how to secure your dog in the car, and how to help a dog with car sickness. Read on to find out more about car safety for dogs… Summary
Whether you’re venturing down the road to the dog park, going across the state to visit family, or going on vacation, securing your dog properly in the car as you would yourself or your human travel buddies, is essential for their safety.
How To Secure Dog In Car Dog Car Harness, Crate Or Seatbelts
To ensure car safety, you need to buckle up your pup as you would yourself and there are lots of options to choose from. You can get a dog car crate, a dog hammock, or a barrier between the front and back of the car made of mesh. However, this doesn’t secure them efficiently if you’re required to make an emergency brake or there is a collision. In some scenarios, these items could injure both of you.
The most popular choice is a dog car harness and seatbelt. These attach to your dog and lock into a seatbelt buckle which helps them maintain the ability to move, but keeps them secure in their seat. Make sure to do your research into good brands which are reputable and recommended, and that you purchase the correct size that correlates with your dog’s size, weight, and breed.
Train Them
Making sure your dog is trained and calm in the car is essential for their safety and yours. The less nervous they are, the less likely they are to distract you from driving.
From a young age, your dog should be exposed to the usual goings-on of a car: what the engine sounds like when it ignites, the slamming of the door, the horn, and climbing in and out.
If you have a rescue or a very excitable/nervous dog that can’t control themselves in the car, start with short journeys round the block and reward them every time they settle with a treat and praise. Slowly increase your distance each time until you’ve got the desired behavior normalized. Be patient though, as this may take several weeks to achieve. Never punish a dog for getting excited/nervous about being in the car - this will just make them scared of you.
How To Calm A Dog With Car Anxiety
Dogs that don’t travel in the car frequently or are nervous travelers can result in being sick or in some cases, having a bout of diarrhea. And, just like their human friends, some canines can get motion sickness. It’s more common in younger dogs, whilst their inner ear is still developing - this means they are likely to grow out of it. Some medical conditions, namely ear infections, can also cause car sickness in dogs too.
If you suspect your dog is going to be sick in the car or they seem stressed (whining, pacing, excessive drooling), pull over and take them on a short walk to relieve them before trying again.
If you're wondering how to calm a dog with car anxiety, as well as acclimatizing them to car journeys via training as detailed above, there are other things you can do to help your anxious doggo out:
Keep the car at a cool temperature and don’t play music Bring a smell from home with you, like a recently worn tee shirt or jumper of yours, and keep it in the back with them Keep them secure with their harness to stop them from pacing Distract them with a brand new toy Try adding the scent of lavender to your dog’s bedding to help calm them. Read our blog on these 7 Calming Scents For Dogs here. Try a natural calming aid/supplement from a reputable pet brand to help maintain their emotional balance throughout car journeys. Look for ingredients like chamomile, hemp extract, and valerian root. Discuss with your vet the option of using anti-nausea or anti-anxiety medications for when your dog is traveling, particularly on long journeys What You Need When Traveling With Your Dog
Whether you’re going out in the car for 10 minutes or several hours, always make sure you’ve got your dog’s essentials with you in case you break down or hit traffic:
Their collar, leash, and harness A blanket/dog bed Their crate Toys and treats Food, water, and feeding bowls Any grooming items, like a brush, they may need Any medication they’ve been prescribed Never Leave A Dog In A Hot Car
If you need to stop on route, do not be tempted to leave your dog in the car. All year round, interior temperatures of your vehicle can reach life-threatening levels. If a dog gets too hot and they are unable to reduce their body temperature via panting, they will develop heatstroke, which can kill them.
As you probably know, there have been numerous stories reported of dogs having to be cut out of cars by the emergency services because an owner has neglected to take their dog with them when they’ve stopped. So, make it a rule for you and your family to never leave your doggo in the car – and remember, cracking a window open will not help moderate the temperature when the car is stationary.

In the English language, nouns can be either singular or plural. Sounds simple, right? You might be surprised by how often many plural English words are mistaken for singular.
Is "whom" really a word?? And when the heck are we supposed to use it? This simple grammar problem plagues most Americans. Because so many of us never learn the easy rule that can help us master this grammatic snafu.
Prime numbers are numbers greater than one whose only factors are one and itself. There are no negative prime numbers. But there are anti-prime numbers. In ancient Greece, Plato thought anti-primes were pretty neat.
Etymology is the study of the origins of words. It's such a cool, nerdy topic! In this clip, we learn about the origins of the words "enthusiasm" and "laconic".
Forget calculators! There are some really simple divisibility rules that are fun and easy to learn. Anyone can benefit from learning these tricks. Third graders, seventh graders, eleventh graders preparing for the SAT - they could all use these little tips.

What caused the damage?
As I’ve mentioned before, when you pick your polish off instead of using actual nail polish remover, the first layer of your nail can come off with the polish. You may not take off the
whole first layer, but pieces can definitely come off. Your nails have tons of layers, so this may not seem like a big deal. At first. But what if you always take off your polish this way? Well, first of all, it will make your nails thinner and weaker. Also? You can be causing tiny holes in the layers of your nails which can lead to peeling when those holes grow to the edge. It can take 6 months for a nail to grow back completely! How can you fix it?
As they say, time heals all wounds. But you can also do things to help your nails. First, keep your nails trimmed. I do not mean with nail clippers. No. Use a glass file (a glass file helps to seal the keratin layers that make up your nails) to keep your nails on the shorter side. Keeping your nails a shorter length can prevent them from peeling more and will give your nails a chance to get strong again. Next, stay hydrated. Drinking water can help to flush toxins from your body and is good for you in general. A healthier you can lead to healthier nails. And finally, take your vitamins. Because you know, the healthier you thing. Plus vitamin A, B-complex vitamins and omega 3s all play a part in how your nails look. Keratin is the basic protein found in nails and anything keratin based can benefit from omega 3s. Vitamin deficiencies can lead to dry, brittle nails that peel. I do have to say here though, that before starting vitamins or supplements, you should consult your favorite medical professional. Also, please note that some vitamins and supplements can interfere with blood test results (biotin can interfere with thyroid tests, for example) so you really should consult your doctor. The internet jury is out on whether additional supplements will do a lot for your nails if you’re
vitamin deficient. not

Join the Campaign
Aloha Friends,
These last two years have been unlike anything we could have imagined. It was as if time stopped with COVID, and we found ourselves appreciating and focusing on what is most important – our health, taking care of loved ones, and supporting our friends and neighbors in need.
COVID reminded me clearly that I didn’t need a title to help people. Since the start of the pandemic, I’ve spent my time delivering meals to seniors, packing and distributing food baskets that help farmers and struggling families, and working with organizations from Waimanalo to Kahuku to keep people in their homes. And, I’ve taken the lead in tracking the billions of federal dollars coming to Hawaii to help ensure it gets to those who need it most.
All of this further strengthened my resolve and desire to return to elected office. Right now, we need government leaders who understand the struggles and hopes of our families, to then navigate and get things done. With my years of experience in government, as well as on the frontlines making things better in our communities, I believe I am that leader.
I am a mom of two and an aunty to many, and my real fear – one we all share – we are pricing our families out of Hawaii. We work hard to provide opportunities for our kids, for our families and for the next generation. Yet for many of us, it’s a real struggle to live and thrive here.
I want to build on the work I have been doing in and out of office:
Increasing access to preschool for all our keiki, and prioritizing support for young children and their families for food, shelter and health care services Developing viable career pathways, beginning in high school for a strong workforce with a focus on knowledge sectors of IT, Data Analysis, and Cybersecurity for a more resilient Hawaii economy
This isn’t going to be an easy race and we’ve got a lot of work ahead; I truly mean it when I say we can’t do this alone. As we kickoff our race to 2022, I would be humbled and honored to have your support.
We need all hands on deck to move our message to action – helping families and communities not just survive, but thrive, and I’m ready to step up and do it.
The time for action is now. Thank you for standing with me.

A recent physics journal paper proposes self-simulation as the origin of the universe, using a quantum gravity model:
A new hypothesis says the universe self-simulates itself in a “strange loop”. A paper from the Quantum Gravity Research institute proposes there is an underlying panconsciousness. The work looks to unify insight from quantum mechanics with a non-materialistic perspective.
How real are you? What if everything you are, everything you know, all the people in your life as well as all the events were not physically there but just a very elaborate simulation? Philosopher Nick Bostrom famously considered this in his seminal paper “Are you living in a computer simulation?,” where he proposed that all of our existence may be just a product of very sophisticated computer simulations ran by advanced beings whose real nature we may never be able to know. Now a new theory has come along that takes it a step further – what if there are no advanced beings either and everything in “reality” is a self-simulation that generates itself from pure thought?
Paul Ratner, “New hypothesis argues the universe simulates itself into existence” at Big Think(April 26, 2020) (A podcast is available.)
The paper, which appeared in
Entropy in 2020, is open access.
The most significant element of this new theory is surely that it is explicitly a theory of “panconsciousness” and non-materialism.
For that reason, it bears comparison with newer theories of consciousness, which are explicitly panpsychist. Remarkably, the science world is growing comfortable with non-materialist theories of consciousness. Whether that it because materialist theories of consciousness are not providing much insight and end in absurdities or due to other causes would be hard to say at present.
(Continues at Mind Matters News.) Takehome: It will be significant if physics journals continue to accept panpsychist and non-materialist models of the universe that recognize the reality of the mind. You may also wish to read: When a simulated world begins to fall apart. In “Untitled Earth Sim 64,” Marie has reason to expect trouble when the simulator who explains reality to her cannot get her name right… If Marie has found God amid strange events, as her friend thinks, the God she has found is highly disorganized one.
New theory of mind offers more information, less materialism
First, let’s begin by noting a remarkable fact: Panpsychism seems to have triumphed in the area of theories of consciousness. Are there materialist theories of consciousness out there any more? Yes. But it is unclear how many of them are taken seriously. Except in pop science mags.
and
The final materialist quest: A war on the reality of the mind Going to war with the very concept is an approach even George Orwell did not think up. When George Orwell wrote 1984, he addressed destroying minds, not denying their possibility and changing the language associated with them.

The lawyers interviewed for this article were different from their views on agreements reached in such circumstances. ”My experience is that these post-marital agreements are rarely successful,” says Steve Mindel, the Los Angeles attorney. ”If someone wants a post-marital agreement for infidelity, it is very difficult to negotiate these documents because there is no trust,” Mindel continued. ”Most of the time, people in this situation, we would first send them to a marriage counselor to see if they can overcome their discord. And when they can overcome their discord, they often don`t need the additional documentation. As with prenups, post-ups are not legally binding in England and Wales. However, a pioneering case (Radmacher v. Granatino) held that the courts had to maintain a marriage contract if it was fair, which would result in the maintenance of valid post-marital agreements. However, in order to increase the likelihood that a court will follow the instructions of the post-announcements, the following points should be taken into account: family lawyers say that more couples are asking for marital agreements – private contracts between spouses that, like their more well-known marital contracts, can determine the division of a couple`s money and property during a divorce or the death of a spouse. While pre-marital agreements are signed under the hope and rose of engagement, post-nups have a reputation as rather transactional agreements, and they are often linked to infidelity or other marital turbulence.
But lawyers and some people who have post-nups say that agreements can serve couples with special needs well. You can solve problems that lead to conflicts and help each spouse retain ownership of important assets such as a family business. Sometimes they can even help keep a marriage restless together or, if so, simplify and shorten divorce proceedings. Post-letters must be in writing, signed by both parties and two witnesses. The agreement should specify all financial assets and debts of the marriage and explain how they are distributed in the event of divorce, termination of the partnership or death. It is useful to seek advice from a lawyer in establishing a post-marital contract, especially for complex financial agreements.

CBD one of the main active compounds in the marijuana plant. Usually, CBD items don’t contain the psychedelic substance tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) also found in marijuana that’s responsible for getting the user high. The lack of THC indicates you will not get high or have any problems with a drug test by using CBD items.
Nevertheless, it’s essential to constantly check labels thoroughly because some CBD supplements might consist of as much as 0.3% of THC.
Drawing out CBD from marijuana or hemp and diluting it with a provider oil produces the popular health supplement we all know as CBD oil. CBD exists in lots of kinds, such as topicals, capsules, and gummies. However what are these various items great for? How can they help?
How CBD Oil Makes For A Healthier Life
Much of the research studies done into CBD oil focuses on the active component of CBD. By understanding which conditions CBD can aid with, you can consider trying CBD oil to alleviate or remove certain signs.
CBD oil has been understood to assist a variety of conditions, including:
Stress and anxiety:A 2019 study on Japanese teens showed that taking CBD oil orally can help in reducing symptoms of stress and anxiety Sleeping disorders:According to psychiatry reports, medium to high amounts of CBD can have a “sedating” effect. This means CBD oil might be able to help with insomnia and individuals who have a general problem with falling asleep Epilepsy:The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has actually authorized using Epidolex, which consists of CBD, to help individuals that have rare and extreme forms of epilepsy. There’s also a research study suggesting CBD oil and CBD may have the ability to decrease seizures. Please note that anyone with seizure problems will want to discuss this with his/her doctor Multiple Sclerosis (MS):One symptom of MS is spasticity, which causes the muscles to feel stiff and may result in difficulty moving. Research studies have found that oral CBD spray might help to minimize this. Researchers are continuing tests to officially confirm or deny this Chronic Pain:An earlier research study looking at the effects of CBD on pain and inflammation found that it does great at decreasing pain & inflammation Acne:CBD may reduce acne. A 2014 research study found it can have a positive influence on human sebocytes. These are the cells that cause sebum which can turn into acne. Using topical CBD oil might be a good way to fight this Neuroprotection:One study highlights that oral administration of CBD can have neuroprotective effects against conditions such as Alzheimer’s What Are Some Ways I Can Take CBD Oil?
Sometimes, it can appear like you’re becoming aware of a brand-new CBD supplement almost weekly. Nowadays you can find CBD in everything from coffee to bath salts and even adult items like lube.
Here are a few of the most common/popular methods to take CBD oil:
Pure Oils Tinctures Topical Creams Vape Oils Pills Edibles (such as gummies or chocolate)
If you’ve been trying one kind of CBD and it’s not working, it’s possible that a various type would work better. Something to think about is bioavailability, which essentially indicates how much of the pure CBD actually enters into your blood stream.
If you consume CBD gummies they have to go through your digestive system prior to being absorbed. This can mean the amount that winds up in your system could be pretty low.
On the other hand, if you take pure CBD oil under the tongue you’re absorbing it straight into your blood stream. This permits you to get quicker & more noticeable results than you would from waiting on the gummies to absorb.
It’s also worth noting the most reliable method for you to absorb CBD can vary based upon what you’re utilizing it for or what kind of relief you require. For instance, a topical balm won’t do much for panic attacks but it can work marvels to relieve aching, aching muscles or localized pain as long as you apply it in the specific location that’s harming.
Is It Possible CBD Just Isn’t For Me?
While CBD might be popular, it’s important to recognize it’s not a miracle drug that will work wonders for everyone. Even if you try every application, it’s possible that you’ll discover CBD simply does not work for you.
How much your body can soak up and use CBD to help depends upon a series of aspects including your:
Metabolism Biochemistry Genes
Your endocannabinoid system is among numerous systems in your body that specifically engages with the active substances in marijuana, and everyones is a bit various than everybody else.
In reality, a instructor of psychiatry states approximately 20% of Americans could have a genetic mutation that makes them naturally produce more endocannabinoids ( comparable to cannabinoids) in their body. If you have that mutation, you may have lower levels of tension and stress and anxiety. However, due to the fact that you currently have additional endocannabinoids, you may not see much effect from CBD.
Always contact your doctor about other alternatives that might work much better. And if people are constantly informing you to attempt CBD, don’t hesitate to tell them it doesn’t deal with you! Constantly remember CBD isn’t a one-size-fits-all wonder treatment.
CBD isn’t as well-researched or regulated as many other treatment alternatives like prescription medications, which is why professionals in the industry are still finding out the most effective ways to take CBD for numerous different ailments.
It will need time, perseverance, and continuous research to discover the perfect brand name, dosage, and application for you. We understand this can be an costly procedure to go through, which is why we’ve partnered with significant CBD brands to bring our readers a
100% free premium CBD trial!.?.!! This permits you to test high quality CBD for yourself without any financial danger. Does CBD Have Any Risks or Side Effects?
Although CBD oil has many benefits as we’ve gone over, there are a few possible dangers you’ll wish to know about previously trying it, similar to with anything else.
Due to CBD being a new thing on the market, there’s a absence of research studies specifically taking a look at the threats of CBD oil. According to the FDA, some risks relating to cannabidiol consist of:
Adverse effects on the liver Adverse interaction with other medications Boost in sleepiness Diarrhea Changes in appetite
As constantly, if you wish to attempt CBD oil we highly recommend you consult with your doctor initially. They’ll have the ability to let you understand if it’s safe for you to try, or if it might have a bad reaction with your body, a medication you’re on, or anything else.
How Long Does CBD Say In Your System? – How Many Ml in a Dropper of CBD Oil
As a general guideline, CBD will run out your system within a week after you stop ingesting it. While it will still differ from person to person, the longer you’ve taken it and the more frequently it’s in your system, the longer it’ll require to leave your body.
Here’s why: It’s lipophilic, implying it dissolves in fats and other compounds within the body over time, says researcher Capano.
That’s a substantial benefit when you’re wanting to remove discomfort or alleviate stress & stress and anxiety, as the compounded levels improve the health advantages. However no matter the length of time you take it, it will ultimately leave your system if you pick to stop using it and the advantages will go away.
Can You Take CBD Oil Every Day?
Not only can you, but for the best outcomes possible you should be taking CBD every day (most of the time, anyways).
“You can’t overdose on CBD, and it’s lipophilic (or fat soluble), which indicates it liquifies in your body over time, contributing to potential health advantages,” mentions scientist Capano.
Capano advises sticking to full-spectrum products (which include several cannabinoids and oils, vitamins, and other natural compounds) instead of other supplements, which are pure CBD. “With full-spectrum items, you’ll require a lower dose which could prevent any bad interactions with other medications,” she describes.
It’s important to keep in mind bad interactions are extremely uncommon, particularly at low dosages, however can occur with some commonly recommended ones like SSRIs and blood thinners. Plus, with smaller sized dosages, you’ll avoid any tension to your liver.
“There’s some evidence out there that CBD can negatively impact an already harmed liver, and there’s other proof showing it can be great. It appears to depend on the underlying reason for the liver damage,” Capano consists of.
As stated above, if you already have liver problems, talk with your medical professional and keep a close eye on your dosage. Likewise make certain to keep an eye on hepatic enzymes every 3 months.
A Few Other Things To Know About Taking CBD
Aside from CBD’s impacts on the body, there’s also some other basic info you require to know about using it.
One being there are still some legal issues around it. The law is often changing for CBD and marijuana and some what up for analysis. CBD may still be thought about as an prohibited compound in numerous parts of the nation, while completely legal and fine in others.

Don’t be fooled- One of my favorite houseplants of all time, monstera deliciosa, isn’t as hard to care for as they look.
But it’s not easy to provide enough light for them, and that can make the difference between a thriving plant and one that slowly dies. The plant should have
at least four hours of bright sunlight each day and will thrive in a room with natural or artificial light.
But don’t worry if you can’t provide them with enough daylight- there are other types of light to make sure your monstera gets what it needs.
You can use artificial lighting or grow lights to keep your monstera healthy. These are the two most common solutions, but there are some other things you can do if you don’t want to buy new lights or move your plant outside.
The real question is… How much light does a monstera need? Monsteras will need 10-12 hours of light each day, which is ideal during the summer but can be decreased to 8-10 during the winter months but will need an increase in humidity level. Your monstera will also need the light source to remain consistent year-round, so set your schedule accordingly.
If you have an artificial light source, you’ll need to keep it on for at least 12 hours a day.
Please note that this article contains affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
If there is no natural sunlight available, then you will want to use your
grow lights for about 10-12 hours per day, then increase this gradually until you are providing 14 hours of light per day for best results.
If possible, try to keep your monstera plant
near a window that gets direct sunlight for at least four hours each day. I like to use sheer curtains (you’ll love this one!) to prevent the sun ray’s full strength from scorching the leaves. If outside light is not an option, you will have to supplement lighting by using a grow light (this one will do the job for taller plants).
You can get one for yourself from your local gardening store or online. It’s important that you
keep the light close to the plant because monstera plants don’t like their leaves to be over-exposed to sunlight. Too much sunlight will result in leaf burn and/or browning. You will need to check the leaves regularly for signs of burn and use a grow light if necessary.
Grow lights are less expensive than buying a new plant and it’ll keep your monstera healthy and happy! If you have no option but to keep it indoors with artificial light, then here is a video to help you on how best to keep your swiss cheese plant healthy.
What kind of sunlight does Monstera need?
A monstera prefers bright light, but not direct sun rays.
Too much light will cause leaf burn and dropping of leaves. A Monstera can also survive in low-light conditions indoors as long as it is receiving a few hours of sunlight each day through a south-facing window. Monsteras love humidity, even when it is being grown indoors.
Monsteras are actually considered relatively easy to care for – maybe the easiest of all houseplants! You’ll want to water them when the
soil surface feels dry and let their soil drain completely before watering again. Plant TIP! Never put a Monstera in direct sunlight for any more than 4 hours. It may be a tropical house plant, but it can still get burned to death like other plants if you put it out on the patio for a long period of time during the sunny days in summer! Can monstera be in bright light?
Monstera, also called the Swiss cheese plant, is a vining plant with large leaves and has a beautiful growth pattern. They’re pretty looking in their own right, but the real attraction comes from the dramatic holes, also known as fenestrations, that look like slices of swiss cheese.
The vines can grow to be very long, and since they need a lot of light that’s probably not going to work for you in your apartment. Even if you have a huge windowsill or patio planter, the vines will grow on top of it instead of up towards the sun- so you’ll end up with a plant looking for something to climb.
A monstera does best with a bright, sunny window and very little additional care. If that’s not an option, you can add one of these: Monstera grow lights – You can buy them online or at your local gardening store. You could also use a full spectrum light bulb if you don’t want to buy any special lights. But Monsteras do best with low-level light, especially during the winter months when days are shorter.
If you use a grow light or bulb to supplement your window, you might need to leave it on for
12 hours each day so it provides enough light throughout the whole cycle. If you have to turn your lights off at night, leave it on for at least 8 hours.
The interesting thing about Monstera deliciosa is that it grows well even in low light conditions. I have a smaller variety of the plant, a mini monstera as some may call it, it grows in a small pot that is exposed to just enough sunlight. It’s not getting direct sunlight for more than two hours per day.
It already has over 10 leaves and many branches. I think for its size, it is growing quite well. But this plant does not stop at one or two leaves. It continues to have new growth and I am expecting a cluster of bigger leaves in the middle of my plant soon enough. I’ll probably repot it in a bigger pot when it gets larger in a few months.
Plant TIP! The most common cause of branch damage is when a Monstera has been moved into an area where it gets direct sunlight for any length of time. It’s not only the sun’s heat that can burn your Monstera, but also its ultra-violet rays. If ever you need to move a Monstera (to re-pot it or to bring it indoors), do so outside on a cloudy day so your plants don’t get scorched from the direct sunlight exposure. How many hours of light does a monstera need?
Monsteras are tropical plants, so they will need plenty of bright light (at least 8-10 hours) every day, in most areas.
Monsteras need plenty of bright light to grow, but too much direct sunlight can make them get leggy. Make sure that your Monstera has enough indirect bright light from the sun or undergrow lights, or it will start stretching and get leggy.
A Monstera depends on the light it gets from the sun during the day and will thrive if it can get 12 hours of light.
I was on the verge of losing my monstera adansonii, but I found a way to save it. Turns out that all it needed was better drainage and brighter light! It’s been thriving ever since in its new spot near the living room window with plenty of natural sunlight coming through.
Thank goodness
neem oil exists- this tenacious plant nearly had me pulling my hair out from stress about how sickly looking she became after spider mites took hold earlier this year. Related: Do House Plants Attract Bugs? Can monstera grow in shade?
Absolutely! Monsteras, like many indoor plants, prefer filtered shade to full sun, so a plant might be happy under an oak tree or under a canopy of bougainvillea after it is established. The thing about plants in limited sunlight is that they grow slower. Also, climate considerations are important.
A plant won’t be able to survive winter if it is grown in a cooler-climate location during summer months; likewise, if grown year-round in the tropics it will never adjust to transplanting elsewhere and dying when refrigerated for winter storage.
So follow these guidelines for success: have the plant outdoors from spring until autumn (and don’t move it indoors), then bring it indoors and put it outside again for the following spring and summer.
How do you know if your monstera is happy?
One sign of a happy Monstera plant is round and even leaves instead of ones that are curled or have lost their leaflets. Another important thing to know is that changing the watering habits isn’t likely going to make your Monstera plant happier. What will? Speaking its language, giving it all the love and attention it needs, such as with monthly cutting back…!
A healthy environment too, so make sure you grow your monstera where there’s plenty of daylight without drafts(the sun’s rays can burn the leaves) and good air circulation (especially in winter). To help regulate water consumption, a well-draining potting mediumand drainage holesshould be used. It also helps to fertilize every couple of monthsduring summer–balanced fertilizer with micronutrients is called for, and you can use a time-release fertilizer with the same elements as well. You should cut back dead growthto encourage new leaf growth and because it is the natural way to propagate Monstera. Cutting back should be done on a monthly basis, with the exception of light pruning at any other time. A little goes a long way with this plant!
If your monstera is a mature plant and has grown for many years, it probably needs water more often to do well. Many young plants may survive with less frequent watering if the pot is potted in
rich soil that stays moist.
It’s always best to err on the side of less water than too much, as plants generally suffer more from being too wet than they do from not having enough water. Chances of root rot and fungal diseases will also increase.
Additionally, it’s important to identify whether or not your plant is happy by
examining its leaves for signs of wilting – a sign that there might be an issue with either watered levels or the level of sunlight exposure. Slight droopinessmight also indicate lack of light, which can cause leaves to curl up. However, this usually isn’t the case with Monstera plants as they endure low light conditions very well. Fertilizermight be necessary if your plant has not been repotted in some time; alternatively, a sign that it may need fertilizer is a thick, woody stem or leaves that are pale and unsaturated in color,or have dropped off the plant. Monsteras can be fertilized with a balanced fertilizer and micronutrients (this one is a miracle worker)every month during their growing season. Make sure to flush your plants with plenty of waterafter applying fertilizer to prevent salt build up in soil that could cause leaf tips to burn. Make sure to How do you know if your Monstera is getting too much sun?
If your monstera is outdoors, it’s likely getting too much sun if its leaves have turned brown. If you’re growing a young plant indoors or in a protected area outdoors, the leaves may burn and drop off. This can be prevented by placing the plant in filtered light or giving it shade when necessary.
Repotting with new soil that drains well should also help prevent this problem (if caused by overwatering). Using fresh soil will be the best way to decrease your plant from sitting in excess water. Slight droopiness could also indicate insufficient sunlight – young plants need at least 6-8 hours of bright sunlight per day; older plants tolerate low light levels as long as they get sufficient water to keep their tissue hydrated. leggy growth lack of fenestrations/splitting putting out smaller leaves at the bottom new leaves not unfurling
As always, keeping your monstera healthy includes providing excellent drainage, good air circulation, and monthly cutting back on dead leaves.
Plant TIP! If your monstera is getting too much light, you may see its leaves turning yellow or brown and dropping off. These are signs that it’s being burned on the edges by the sun or artificial lights. Try giving it less direct or artificial light until new leaves have had a chance to grow in (about 6 weeks). Can monstera live in low light?
Yes, Monsteras can withstand low light environments but won’t reach its full growth potential. This tropical plant actually prefers bright indirect light conditions – especially in the summer months when they’re acclimating to outdoor temperatures.
However, it’s also important to know that this plant is considered a rainforest plant (or sub-tropical), of which their leaves are perfectly designed for absorbing solar energy.
A healthy monstera deliciosa prefers:
a lot of sunlightbut will do well with medium levels of light soil that is kept moist and is well draining good air circulationaround its foliage;
If you live in an area where the sun doesn’t shine very often (like Seattle or Canada), consider adding some
grow lights indoors to your monstera’s environment. If that won’t work for you, consider adding some humidity to your plant by placing it on a pebble tray or misting it every other day (more if needed).
You should keep the plant in a well-lit area to receive sunlight for most of the day. They can also
use artificial lighting, but make sure it reaches the leaves instead of just shining on them. Conclusion for how much light does a monstera need
A monstera needs to be well-lit to grow properly, but not too much light as it can cause the leaves and stems of the plant to become dry. The ideal amount of sunlight is about 8-10 hours a day, either through natural lighting or artificial lighting.
Be aware that if your plant does not receive sufficient lighting, it will begin to lose its green color and grow leggy. To prevent this from happening, make sure you water your plants often so they don’t dry out and keep them at room temperature where they are comfortable.
