Social Media Audiences Uninformed
Mon., Aug. 3, 2020
By Jon Gingerich
Americans who depend on social media platforms for their political news tend to be less likely to follow major news stories and also generally possess less political knowledge than other groups, according to analysis recently released by the Pew Research Center.
Pew's survey, which quizzed Americans on topics such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the upcoming presidential election, found that only eight percent of U.S. adults who get their political news primarily from social media platforms said they're currently following news about the 2020 election "very closely," the lowest share among the six media platforms analyzed.
By comparison, levels of engagement for election news was about four times higher among those who get their political news mostly from cable TV (37 percent) or print media (33 percent). The only group to reveal comparably low levels of engagement were audiences who rely on local TV (11 percent).
Moreover, less than a quarter (23 percent) of U.S. adults who get their political news from social media admitted they're following news surrounding the COVID-19 crisis very closely. By contrast, the percentage of Americans who rely to cable TV, national network TV, news sites and apps or local TV all revealed higher levels of attention to coronavirus-related news (50 percent, 50 percent, 44 percent and 32 percent, respectively).
The survey tested respondents' political knowledge and asked 29 fact-based questions focusing on current events ranging from COVID-19 to the economy to President Trump's impeachment. Pew's findings discovered that those who rely most on social media for political news were least likely, on average, to exhibit high political knowledge: only 17 percent of individuals who turn to social media fell into the high political knowledge category, while 45 percent of those who rely on news websites/apps, 42 percent of radio listeners and 41 percent of print readers earned this designation.
Nearly 20 percent of U.S. adults say they get their political news primarily through social media.
About one-in-five U.S. adults (18 percent) reported that social media is currently their main source for political news. That's more than the number of Americans who said they get most of their political news from print (three percent), radio (eight percent), network TV (13 percent), local TV (16 percent) or cable TV (16 percent). According to Pew's findings, news websites and apps are now the number-one sources a majority of Americans turn to for political news (25 percent).
Finally, Pew's analysis found that Americans who use social media for political news were less likely to express concern regarding the fake news phenomenon. While more than half (58 percent) of those who rely on cable TV expressed high levels of concern regarding fake news' potential influence on the 2020 election, only a little more than a third (37 percent) of social media users reporting being concerned about it.
Despite this, social media news users were more likely to have been exposed to false or unproven claims than other media audiences. About eight-in-ten (81 percent) have heard the conspiracy theory that COVID-19 pandemic was intentionally planned, higher than any other media audience. Altogether, more than two-thirds of social media news users (68 percent) admitted they've encountered coronavirus-related misinformation.
Pew's analysis was based on data drawn from five separate surveys conducted between October 2019 and June 2020. Those surveys were conducted as part of the nonpartisan think tank's Election News Pathways project, an ongoing initiative that examines how Americans are getting their news in the months leading up to the 2020 election.

Hydén i Stockholm från 2 maj 1890 till 25 mars 1892 och slutligen hos Fackföreningarnas tryckeri i Stockholm 1 april 1892 till 11 augusti 1893.

Utgivningsfrekvens var en tidning i veckan fredagar, någon gång lördag. Tidningen hade fyra sidor tryckta i antikva på folioformat med fyra spalter omväxlande med fem spalter. Priset var tre kronor. I stället för Proletären nr 41-43 1891 gav tidningen ut Kommunen nr 1 10 oktober 1891, och nr 2 den 24 oktober.

Utgivare och redaktörer av Proletären
Utgivningsbevis för tidningen utfärdades för Gustaf Adolf Rydgren den 26 januari 1888, som i början var dess redaktör. I tidningen uppges Emil Björklund som redaktör från 4 april 1890 till den 11 april 1890. Han ersattes av A.H. Janhekt från 2 maj till 3 oktober 1890 och slutligen Hinke Bergegren från 3 juli 1891 till 15 januari 1892 såsom dess redaktörer. Hälsinglands Folkblad skriver om tidningen då Hinke Berggren fyller 75 år den 22 april 1936.

Pinsir is astoundingly strong. It can grip a foe weighing twice its weight in its horns and easily lift it. This Pokémon's movements turn sluggish in cold places.
Pinsir has a pair of massive horns. Protruding from the surface of these horns are thorns. These thorns are driven deeply into the foe's body when the pincer closes, making it tough for the foe to escape.
Physical moves better suit Pinsir's higher Attack, and have their class highlighted in green.


Ingrown toe nails are very painful and often cause redness, swelling and infection. Many times the nail may look normal but it becomes tender along the sides when pressure is applied. Generally people blame this condition on improper toe nail cutting, however in most cases it is a hereditary condition and the nail is simply too big for the toe. Some nails have a tendency to curl in at the edges also causing an ingrown nail.
Treatment Options: Conservative care may include, careful trimming of the offending nail, application of antibiotic ointment, bandaging and wider footwear.
A permanent correction is available in our office whereby a sliver of nail is removed from the sides of the toe and the root destroyed which prevents the regrowth. It is not necessary to have the entire toenail removed. The procedure is performed using only a local anesthetic with little to no discomfort afterwards, returning to school or work is immediate. This is the most effective way to permanently correct the problem. A thorough examination with your Podiatrist will help to determine the best treatment option.

Negotiating a short sale with the lender is a difficult process, generally because it is a daunting task finding a bank officer who has the authority to accept a discount. You will have to call around to locate the lender's "Loss Mitigation Department". More than likely, each lender you deal with will have a separate name for this department, so be patient when calling. Much like getting your phone bill corrected, you can expect the process to involve a lot of waiting on hold and being bounced around an intricate maze of automated voice mail systems. Once you get in touch with the right person, then the negotiating begins.
From the lender's perspective, a short sale saves many of the costs associated with the foreclosure process – attorney fee's, the eviction process, delays from borrower bankruptcy, damage to the property, costs associated with resale, etc. In a short sale scenario, the lender gets the property back faster, so it is able to cut its losses. Your job as the investor is to convince the lender that it will fare better by accepting less money now.
The lender will want some information about the property, the borrower and the deal he has made with you. Specifically, the lender wants to know what the property is worth. The lender will generally hire a local real estate broker or appraiser to evaluate the property (called a broker's price opinion or "BPO"). You can also submit your own appraisal or comparable sales information. In addition, you will want to offer as much specific negative information about the property as possible. Also, include some relevant information about the neighborhood and the local economy if things are bad. A contract's bid for repair estimates should also be submitted, which, of course, should be the highest bid you can obtain!
The lender will also ask for financial information about the borrower. Sort of a backward loan application, the borrower must prove that he is broke and unable to afford the payments. The borrower must show that he has no other source of income or assets to repay the loan. This process may involve as much if not more paperwork than an original mortgage application! The borrower should submit a "hardship letter", which is basically a sob story about how much financial trouble the borrower is in. This may require a little literary creativity and some help on your part. Don't lie, just paint a picture that doesn't look good.
Finally, the lender generally wants to see a written contract between you and the seller. The lender wants to make sure the seller isn't walking away with any cash from the deal. Generally, the contract must be written so that the buyer pays all costs associated with the transaction so that the "net cash" to the seller is the exact amount of the short pay to the lender. A preliminary HUD-1 or settlement statement is often requested, and many title and escrow companies simply will prepare one in advance of closing. Make sure it says "Prelim HUD or Prelim Settlement Statement at the top.
Don't be surprised if your first short sale bid is rejected. Lenders aren't emotionally attached to their properties, so they aren't as likely to give you steal. Many short sales fall through if the BPO or appraisal comes in too high, which is often the case. You can't pull the wool over a lender's eyes – if the property isn't in need of serious repair, it is unlikely you can convince the lender the property is worth a whole lot less than the appraised value.
The process of the short sale is not that complicated, but the success or failure of the deal depends upon how you present it to the lender. Many novice investors and realtors give up short sales quickly because their first deal is rejected. Like any business, short sales takes practice to get good. Generally speaking, loss mitigators are pretty good at spotting an amateur investor. If you know what you are doing, the loss mitigators are more likely to make a deal with you.

Union Membership Statistics
By Walter J. Liszka of Wessels Sherman Joerg Liszka Laverty Seneczko P.C. posted in Union Matters on Tuesday, September 30, 2014.
There is a very old adage that "numbers can't lie, but liars can figure" and that adage may be applicable to the most recent statistics issued by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics with regard to union membership. Those "union statistics" indicate that the union membership rate - the percentage of wage and salary workers who were members of the union for 2013 - remains at 11.3%, the same percentage as existed in 2012. The number of wage and salary workers belonging to unions remains at 14.5% but is substantially down from 1983, the first year in which comparable union data was available which established the figure in 1983 at 20.1%.

Home/News/Sports/Ill Anthony Davis exits early in Lakers' loss to Cavaliers
Ill Anthony Davis exits early in Lakers' loss to Cavaliers
CLEVELAND —
This is what the margins look like.
The Lakers had reignited hope for their season over the last 10 games, refashioning themselves as an Anthony Davis-led juggernaut that warmed up against lesser teams like the San Antonio Spurs before formalizing their rise with wins against the Milwaukee Bucks and Washington Wizards at the start of their current six-game trip.
But Tuesday night in Cleveland, the plans had to change, and they had to change on the fly. Davis, maybe the best player in the NBA over the last three weeks, had to leave the court after playing a little more than eight minutes because of flu-like symptoms.
He wouldn't return.
That left things to LeBron James and Russell Westbrook to figure out, but the undermanned Lakers couldn't find enough consistent offense and were on a constant search for answers on defense, losing to Cleveland 116-102.
James, who has dominated the Cavaliers in his career, has lost twice to them this season, dropping his record against his former team to 17-3.
Late in the fourth quarter, the fans inside his former home arena chanted "M-V-P" — only this time it was for Donovan Mitchell.
Mitchell scored 43 points, one of the biggest offseason acquisitions keeping Cleveland as the best home team (11-1) in the NBA. Jarrett Allen made his first 10 shots on the way to 24 points and 11 rebounds while Darius Garland had 21 points and 11 assists as the Cavaliers pulled away midway through the fourth.
The Lakers made only six of their 36 three-point shots, their worst shooting game of the season from the perimeter. The Lakers are 2-7 when they've been below 30% from three.
Cleveland didn't shoot well from deep either, allowing the Lakers to keep the score close — it was tied at 92 with 8:06 left — until the Cavaliers sprinted through the final horn on a 24-10 run.
James had 21 points and 17 rebounds, Thomas Bryant had 19 and Westbrook and Dennis Schroder scored 16 each.
The Lakers were without Wenyen Gabriel, who suffered a left shoulder sprain.
Gabriel injured the shoulder going for a rebound in the Lakers' win over the Wizards on Sunday. He's officially scheduled to be evaluated again in one week, and coach Darvin Ham said he's optimist the reserve big man wouldn't be out much longer than that.
The Lakers play in Toronto on Wednesday night.

Cyber Awareness
Webinar Highlights: Building Cyber Culture in a Hybrid Work Environment
Published by right-hand-admin
According to a recent report, nearly 50% of businesses say that work-from-home policies have hurt their cybersecurity practices. Companies are finding it difficult to adjust to this significant change in working style and pay the price for it. As the pandemic rages on, companies are sticking to the remote working model, and in countries where the pandemic is more or less in check, companies are switching to a hybrid approach.
In these tumultuous times, Right-Hand hosted a webinar with the topic 'Building Cyber Culture in a Hybrid Work Environment'. This session went live on April 29, 2021, and was moderated by our CEO and Co-Founder, Theo Nasser, and featured Dick Wilkinson, CTO of the Supreme Court of New Mexico, and Matthew Rosenquist, the CISO of Eclipz. They both gave deep and meaningful insights on the topic.
Here are some of the highlights from the session:
Managing security expectations in a work-from-home environment
In a poll run during the webinar, 88% of participants said they were working from home full time, and 12% said they are working in a hybrid setup.
Webinar Poll Results
With this new working arrangement, a whole new slew of cyber risks and threats that the organizations must account for arises.
Dick shared details about a solution he created at the beginning of the pandemic, a whitepaper he wrote which contained the logistics and technology aspects that such a change would bring about. He then presented this material to the CISO, who explained to their stakeholders how to adjust to the changes.
Matthew agreed with Dick's approach. He proposed a similar approach wherein he incorporated the same elements as Dick's, namely the logistics and technology aspect, but also incorporated some aspects relating to security, as he felt that should be the main focus as a CISO. Furthermore, he believes;
"For any organization, their cybersecurity policy is the manifestation of what the acceptable risk is, as long as you're in the bounds, you're okay. Security is a matter of early collaboration."
Challenges and Opportunities when Building Cyber Culture During the Pandemic
Dick shared that he had initially seen this change as an opportunity for the organization. It allowed him and his team to have talks and discussions with the employees about cybersecurity policy that they otherwise would not have had. As a result, it created communication points that previously hadn't existed. On the other hand, he has noticed some security threats as well. Dick mentioned that since employees are working at their homes, the environment will be more lax, and people would be more susceptible to cyber-attacks.
Matthew pointed out that employees no longer being dependent on any single place to work allows for greater flexibility. However, in terms of drawbacks, Matthew agreed with Dick that the relaxed environment is not conducive to cybersecurity growth.
The Importance of Security Policies when Working From Home
The fact that employees weren't coming down to the office anymore brought about a chance to enhance the policy compliance aspect in the organization for Dick. The IT department could expose the other employees to the more "backend" matters they deal with. There was also communication between IT and other departments that hadn't existed before, which significantly improved the policy compliance aspect.
In addition, a significant challenge to look at is the change in behavior from when you work in the office to when you start working from home. When employees are at home, they tend to feel more comfortable and take a more relaxed approach to work, making them more prone to cyber risks. Due to this, elements that weren't particularly heeded in the cybersecurity policy will take the spotlight. It is up to the CISOs and CTOs to cope with the change. As Matthew puts it;
"The Best CISOs and CTOs are constantly adapting, and they see new changes as an opportunity to change your policies, and you always have to be static, dynamic and flexible cause once you're static, you're outdated."
Considering the challenges mentioned above, Theo asked for some tips/tricks that other CISOs could use when developing a new policy for the work-from-home environment.
Dick had mentioned that it is essential to communicate with the employees on the changes made to the existing security policies and how they could help IT leaders implement them. Policies must also be written concisely and clearly, and they shouldn't have any aggressive undertones as then the employees would be too scared to freely communicate with you if they've made a mistake.
Empowering the Employee
It is essential to respect and appreciate the employee for cybersecurity matters as, for most of them, it's the first time they are dealing with cybersecurity-related issues. Matthew shared that he does all the cybersecurity training himself, for whenever a new employee comes into the firm. He does this to build a rapport with the employees and help them understand that the responsibility of cybersecurity falls on every single one in the firm.
Employees need to develop a cohesive mindset. They must understand that their actions affect the final product as a whole. Matthew also makes sure to thank the employees for reporting something they thought looked suspicious, even if it was a false positive, as that means they feel safe to approach him and his team on these matters. When an employee makes a mistake, it is essential not to pin all the blame on them. Mathew puts it eloquently,
"The employees are the eyes and ears of the company, and if they can report suspicious activity, it is a sign of good trust."
Building Cyberculture in a Hybrid Work Environment
When asked by Theo about tips and tricks to building Cyber Culture in the workplace, Dick mentioned that it is important for employees to feel safe and not feel overwhelmed with the knowledge they are exposed to. The cybersecurity team should be seen as a helpful and guiding team rather than something employees should be afraid of. He said,
"If the employee reported that they had a pleasant experience when they communicated the problem, they would be more willing to talk to other people in the company about their experience, and this is how culture is developed."

Mitsubishi Motors to Globally Unveil 2020 ASX Compact SUV at Geneva International Motor Show
TOKYO, Feb, 13 2019 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) will globally unveil the 2020 model year ASX compact SUV (RVR or Outlander Sport in some markets) at the 89th Geneva International Motor Show(1) to be held March 5-17.
Since its launch in 2009, the ASX has sold around 1.32 million units overall in around 90 countries. The biggest markets are North America, Europe, Australia and China. Currently the third-highest selling vehicle offered by MMC, the ASX is key to the company's global strategy.
The exterior design has undergone a major overhaul under a design philosophy of "robust and ingenious," which serves as an expression of the MMC's global tagline "Drive your Ambition."
The ASX is a compact SUV designed for the city, offering wide-ranging versatility that makes it perfect for everything from everyday use to exciting adventures. Its lightweight, compact body combined with an SUV's commanding driver sightlines give the ASX excellent handling and easy drivability.
For European markets, ASX is powered by a 2.0L MIVEC(2) 16-valve engine mated to either a five-speed manual transmission, or the INVECS(3)-III CVT with 6-speed Sports Mode. Both two and four-wheel-drive versions are available.
The ASX also delivers reassurance and safety, with features including the RISE impact safety body and a Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) braking system.
Main Changes
1. Major design change
The design concept is "Impact and Impulse." As well as signature Mitsubishi toughness, the refined and original design projects a strong image, inviting drivers to follow their impulses and take on new challenges.
The new ASX brings an evolution in MMC's DYNAMIC SHIELD front design concept.
The bumper embraces the central protective shape from both sides and the squared horizontal and vertical line treatment of the grille and the skid plate under the bumper expresses strength and toughness. The new styling makes the hood deeper, adding to the presence projected by the front end. And the distinctive LED lighting layout, which locates the turn signals and fog lamps at the ends of the bumper, stamps a Mitsubishi brand look on the front end.
The ASX uses LED rear combination lamps (except turn signals) in a sharp-looking design that stretches across the width of the car and accentuates the wide stance. The skid plate styling of the underside of the bumper projects a look of strength.
The ASX is now available in vivid, intensely brilliant Red Diamond, sporty and energetic Sunshine Orange, and sleek, refined Oak Brown.
2. Improvements to Smartphone-link Display Audio (SDA)
The Smartphone-link Display Audio (SDA) has been improved, and now offers more advanced connectability.

BrainScope Advances its Commercial Adoption and Appoints Industry Veteran Susan Hertzberg as CEO
Founding CEO Michael Singer to Serve as Executive Chairman
BETHESDA, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#concussion–BrainScope announced today the appointment of Susan Hertzberg as Chief Executive Officer. This is the 4th equity-backed venture that Hertzberg will helm. She is a proven commercial stage leader with an impressive track record of bringing innovative products and services to market and profitably scaling and delivering exceptional market growth.
In her new role, Hertzberg will drive the global strategy and commercialization of BrainScope's traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussion tools in the traditional healthcare, military and sports arenas and will expand the platform capabilities of its signature product BrainScope One to include objective assessments for brain diseases like depression and Alzheimer's.
"BrainScope is growing rapidly given the high demand and need for non-invasive, point of care FDA-Cleared medical devices to objectively assess concussion and mild TBI," said Founding CEO Michael Singer, who will move into the Executive Chairman role. "I am thrilled to have Susan join us and apply her unique talents and experience to scale our business and make these tools ubiquitous in the market. Her mission-driven, patient-centric approach and dynamic leadership style is a great fit and will help BrainScope reach its full potential for this very large market opportunity," added Singer.
"I am delighted to join BrainScope at this important time. The Company's BrainScope One device is a powerful new non-invasive tool that helps clinicians objectively assess TBI and concussion while helping patients avoid unnecessary and costly emergency room visits and CT scanning and radiation. With the company's focus on innovation and addressing core market needs, the opportunity to positively impact the lives of more than 75 million people globally who suffer brain injuries each year is powerful. With BrainScope's breakthrough science, focus on innovation, and outstanding employees, I have no doubt of our future success," stated Hertzberg.
A recent study conducted at Washington University demonstrated that integrating BrainScope One into the decision-making process for CT referrals would have led to a significant reduction of unnecessary CT scans by nearly one-third. Importantly, this decrease in CT use and its associated radiation would be achieved without incurring any false negative cases (100% sensitivity in the study). This study confirmed BrainScope's overall CT referral rate reduction results published by Huff and colleagues (2017)1 in a retrospective study of the data collected in the BrainScope FDA validation study2.
In March, BrainScope announced it had concluded both algorithm development and clinical validation studies in adolescent and young adult populations using its objective, EEG-based technology. The purpose of the studies was to create and validate an objective, personalized capability for assessment of concussion and readiness to return to activities in males and females between the ages of 13-25. The studies conducted from 2015 through 2019 at 52 clinical sites included nearly 1,700 patients and healthy controls, with over 4,000 evaluations. Funding sources for the studies included a $9.9 million research contract from the U.S. Department of Defense, award funding from the NFL-GE Head Health Challenge (in which BrainScope was a two-time awardee), and BrainScope private funding.
About Susan Hertzberg
Hertzberg has 30 years of diversified healthcare diagnostics, products and services experience. Most recently, she served as CEO of Prelude Fertility, a comprehensive fertility services company where in just two years, she built the fastest growing, largest fertility network in the country. Prior to Prelude, Hertzberg scaled two other diagnostics products and services companies and achieved outstanding growth and returns for her investors. She honed her skills earlier in her career at companies like Quest Diagnostics, Oxford Health Plans and Abbott. Her commitment to making a difference in the lives of patients and improving healthcare more generally has been the hallmark of her career. Hertzberg received the Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of The Year™ award in 2014 as the New England winner and a national finalist. She has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, The Boston Business Journal, and the nationally syndicated radio show, "The CEO Show with Robert Reiss." She received an MBA from Columbia University, and currently serves on the Board of Directors for BreastCancer.org and is a strategic advisor to the Founder's Affiliate Board of the American Heart Association.
Statement from the BrainScope Board of Directors on Michael Singer
"Michael has led the company for more than a decade beginning with when the company was in the conceptual stages. During this time, he pioneered the creation of the first FDA-cleared product for traumatic brain injury, including concussion. He uniquely partnered with the Department of Defense through 8 DOD research contracts to develop the technology with a focus on multi-modal and multi-parameter capabilities that would address the full spectrum of brain injury. Michael also guided the company through over 20 clinical studies, 7 FDA clearances, 28 peer-reviewed publications, 120 issued and pending patents, and the creation of next-generation products to be introduced to the market in the near-term. We are pleased to have Michael continue with the company in his new role as Executive Chairman and look forward to the meaningful contribution we know he will make," said outgoing Chairman Dan Moore.
About BrainScope
BrainScope's mission is to revolutionize the rapid and objective assessment of brain-related conditions, starting with concussion and mild traumatic brain injury, utilizing multiple integrated assessment capabilities, artificial intelligence (AI) and digitization. The company is a two-time winner of the GE-NFL Head Health Challenge, and has received two nominations for the Prix Galien Best Medical Technology (in 2017 and 2018), regarded as the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for medical devices.

Dorothea Johnson or Dorothea Garrat; Dorothea King (4 December 1732 – 23 July 1817) was an Irish Methodist leader in Lisburn.

Life
Johnson was born in Dublin in 1732. Her mother is unknown, but she was raised by her father and his mother. Her grandmother taught her piety but she was illiterate. Her father's business was bankrupt when she was 16 and she agreed to marry Mr King who was one of his creditors - in order that her father would escape jail. The marriage brought forward children but Johnson was unhappy and she returned home.

She became a Methodist on 15 December 1757 when she was converted by the Reverend George Whitefield. When the founder of Methodism, John Wesley, visited in 1762 he found her at the centre of the local church. She was known for her fervour and Wesley witnessed her transform to a Methodist state known as sanctification.

Her estranged husband died and ten years later, in 1784, she married again. They lived together and she and the Reverend John Johnson had a chapel in Market Street Lambeg in County Antrim. They were known for their model marriage. They both worked to encourage Methodism. She worked with female Methodists but she was singled out by John Wesley as the cause of the healthy state of Methodism in Lisburn the year after they married.

Johnson died a widow in Lisburn on 23 July 1817 having spent 14 years leading the congregation and still steadfast in her beliefs. She was buried with her husband in Lambeg churchyard. Her "Memoirs" which she had begun in 1771 were published in 1818.

Is an insect an animal?
Of course it is. Is a snail an insect? No, snails are mollusks. Notice the large "foot" that allows movement, and the antennas are obvious. Actually, a snail's eyes are on the two long projections on its head, and the projections are called eyestalks. These are characteristics of this animal.
Animals are a kingdom of multicellular eukaryotes. They cannot make their own food. Instead, they get nutrients by eating other living things. Therefore, animals are heterotrophs.
Like the cells of all eukaryotes, animal cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles (see Figure below). Unlike the cells of plants and fungi, animal cells lack a cell wall. This gives animal cells flexibility. It lets them take on different shapes so they can become specialized to do particular jobs. The human nerve cell shown in Figure below is a good example. Its shape suits its function of transmitting nerve impulses over long distances. A nerve cell would be unable to take this shape if it were surrounded by a rigid cell wall.
Animal Cell. The shape of an animal cell is not constrained by a rigid cell wall. A bacterial cell is shown above for comparison.
Human Nerve Cell. A human nerve cell is specialized to transmit nerve impulses. How do you think the cell's shape helps it perform this function?
Animals not only have specialized cells. Most animals also have tissues and organs. In many animals, organs form organ systems, such as a nervous system. Higher levels of organization allow animals to perform many complex functions. What can animals do that most other living things cannot? Most animals share these characteristics: sensory organs, movement, and internal digestion. All of them are illustrated in Figure below.
Animals can detect environmental stimuli, such as light, sound, and touch. Stimuli are detected by sensory nerve cells. The information is transmitted and processed by the nervous system. The nervous system, in turn, may direct the body to respond.
All animals can move, at least during some stage of their life cycle. Muscles and nerves work together to allow movement. Being able to move lets animals actively search for food and mates. It also helps them escape from predators.
Most animals share these characteristics: sensory organs, movement, and internal digestion.
Many animals have a relatively simple life cycle. A general animal life cycle is shown in Figure below. Most animals spend the majority of their life as diploid organisms. Just about all animals reproduce sexually. Diploid adults undergo meiosis to produce sperm or eggs.Fertilization occurs when a sperm and an egg fuse. The zygote that forms develops into an embryo. The embryo eventually develops into an adult.
Animal Life Cycle. An animal life cycle that includes only sexual reproduction is shown here. Some animals also reproduce asexually. How does the animal life cycle compare with the life cycle of a plant?
Animals are multicellular eukaryotes that lack cell walls.
Animals have sensory organs, the ability to move, and internal digestion. They also have sexual reproduction.
Identify traits that characterize all animals.
State one way that animal cells differ from the cells of plants and fungi. What is the significance of this difference?
Describe a general animal life cycle.

exit $RETVAL

Then add a link to the rc5.d folder - /etc/rc5.d/
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc5.d/S71tomcat

A: One way to start the tomcat on the startup is to run it using cron using the @reboot attribute:
open up a terminal and type :
sudo crontab -e

at the end of the file enter the command:
@reboot /`PATH_TO_WHERE_TOMCAT_INSTALLED`/bin/startup.sh

save the file and exit.
The above command will run the command once everytime computer boots up.

Q: Problem upgrading Kubuntu 17.10 to 18.04 Today I decided to upgrade Kubuntu 17.10 to 18.04 following Kubuntu's official site steps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BionicUpgrades/Kubuntu. Although I updated the system, the option to upgrade didn't appear in Discover, so following the site's instructions did this: kdesudo "do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE".
Everything okay until I reboot... Instead of Kubuntu 18.04 now I have Ubuntu 18.04??!
Does anybody know why this happened?

Edit: I tried changing the desktop environment to Kubuntu using sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop but it doesn't recognize the command

A: "Upgrades from 16.04 LTS will not be enabled until a few days after the 18.04.1 release expected in late July."
I think the option is not enabled yet

A: I Followed the steps in the release notes and it worked for me.
The upgrade should run uninterrupted. You will need to:

*

*If you have a laptop make sure it is connected to power.

*If at all practical, ensure that you are connected to the Internet
via a wired connection.

*Ensure your current installation is updated using Plasma Discover

*Run the release upgrade tool.

*Reboot.

Upgrade
If for some reason Discover does not offer you the upgrade to 18.04, then you can open Krunner, or Konsole (or other terminal), and run:
kdesudo "do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE"

*

*Allow the upgrade to start, wait (approximately an hour).

*Remove obsolete packages when asked

*It will ask you to restart your computer. Ensure you have no unsaved work open and click Restart Now.

source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BionicUpgrades/Kubuntu

A: What do you mean by "doesn't recognize the command"?
If your Ubuntu 18.04 is working normally and you want to go back to KDE:
~$ sudo apt-get update
~$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
~$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

(if it says it's already installed, ignore it and go to next command, if it shows some error, post them here)
~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm

Make sure to select sddm from list and Ok.
Now reboot and Plasma should be loaded.
Now continue from KDE Terminal:
~$ sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop
~$ sudo apt-get purge nautilus
~$ sudo apt-get autoremove
~$ sudo apt-get autoclean


In these podcasts, you get to listen in on some conversations with remarkable people. You will hear what health literacy is, why it matters and ways every one of us can help improve health understanding.
Today I'm talking with Beccah Rothschild, who is the Senior Outreach Leader for the Choosing Wisely campaign at Consumer Reports. Becca has over 15 years of experience in the field of adult literacy, health literacy, health communication and outreach, including direct service, interventions, research and policy.
Beccah's role at Consumer Reports focuses on patient engagement around the issues of overuse and misuse of medical tests, and treatments and procedures that provide little benefit and in some cases cause harm.
I've known Beccah for many years, starting back in the 1990s when we were early adopters of health literacy. I am delighted and proud to see how far Becca has come. Welcome, Becca.
Beccah: Thank you, Helen. It's nice to be here.
Helen: I'm delighted that you're a guest on Health Literacy Out Loud. Tell us all about your latest hat at Consumer Reports and this Choosing Wisely campaign. Just start from the beginning. What is Choosing Wisely?
Beccah: Choosing Wisely is a campaign that we're working on at Consumer Reportsin partnership with the American Board of Internal Medicine, or ABIM, Foundation.
The campaign is about helping patients, consumers and healthcare providers such as doctors, nurses, etc., engage in a conversation about healthcare and the best healthcare at that particular time in a patient's life.
Helen: It sounds like you've got all the pieces covered. There were patients, consumers, clinicians and everybody to talk about healthcare.
Beccah: Yes, and specifically to talk about medical tests, treatments and procedures that are not necessarily in the best interests of patients. Sometimes they're just not necessary.
Helen: Like what kind of a test?
Beccah: Allergy tests, or imaging tests for lower back pain. That's a pretty popular one. Lower back pain is very common and a lot of people go to their doctor to talk about their lower back pain.
What we're trying to help people understand is that imaging tests, which are X-rays, CT scans or MRIs, are usually not necessary. Usually lower back pain works itself out within six weeks or within some amount of time.
What we're trying to help people understand in this particular example is that these imaging tests don't help you feel better faster, and they have risks, expose you to radiation and cost money.
Helen: I want to stop you because I'm really curious about this. I worked in healthcare for a long time as an occupational therapist. Not that I was in a situation of prescribing tests, but I know that those kinds of conversations take longer.
It's probably easier if a patient goes in and says, "Hey, doc. My back hurts," and the doctor says, "Okay, have an X-ray." That's a quicker conversation than, "Wait, maybe you don't need it." Is that right? Does this take longer?
Beccah: This can take longer, but what we're hoping is that the patient goes in prepared to ask specific questions. We at Consumer Reports are working on the patient or consumer side to help patients engage in that way. The campaign is also working with healthcare providers.
The reason this campaign has really exploded and become so successful is that there are over 50 national medical societies and associations who have signed on to be part of this campaign, and even more are joining right now.
Helen: What does it mean that they're part of the campaign? Does it mean that they're part of Consumer Reports?
Beccah: They're part of the Choosing Wisely campaign. Let me give you an example. I think that helps it come alive a little bit more.
For example, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Cardiology have come forward and given a list of their top five topics that they have said, based on medical research and science, may be unnecessary in certain instances.
Based on these, we at Consumer Reports are creating materials that are patient or consumer friendly to help patients understand why they may not need these procedures, treatments or tests, and what types of questions to ask.
Helen: I see. The underpinnings of this are really changing that expectation of what we need when we have an ache or pain. You're working with the associations on that, so it sounds like it's all medically approved, but you're also working to help patients understand this?
Beccah: That's correct. We're coming at it from two angles. The ABIM Foundation, who is really behind this, has done a fantastic job of getting all of these medical societies and associations to join. They're saying from the doctor's standpoint that these are tests that are overly prescribed and are not needed.
Helen: That sounds great. I was just thinking that you're not leaving a doctor out there all alone answering this hard question. There's a lot going on.
You used a term, and this has intrigued me for a long time. People were called patients, and now you're referring to them as consumers. What's the scoop here, Beccah?
Beccah: It's interesting. A lot of people still think of themselves as patients, and they still are. I don't want to take that term away, but we are also consumers.
As consumers, when we think about making purchases or making decisions and we think about questions to ask, it's more of an engagement. That's what we're trying to promote in this campaign. It's patient or consumer engagement.
When you go to buy a television or make a big purchase, you think about the cost, the pros and cons, and the ramifications. We're trying to help patients make those same types of decisions and think about the same types of questions.
I've already had the conversation with the dentist about what I need and why and what I don't need. Is that the same type of conversation that you're talking about?
We're really trying to find out if there are other options and if we can look at the wait-and-see approach. Are there other choices right now, or do I really need to have this particular treatment or test right now?
Helen: It's wonderful. I'm totally on board. What can we as listeners be doing about this? I don't know exactly who listeners are, but I know we all care about health communication a lot. We may be clinicians, public health specialists, teachers, librarians, patients or and caregivers.
As somebody who is part of that health conversation, what would you like us to know and do?
Beccah: First of all, all of us at some point are going to be a patient or a caregiver. I don't think there's anyone who hasn't at some point been a patient. It's just thinking about this campaign and these types of questions and knowing that it is okay to ask questions of your healthcare provider.
A lot of that is true. The provider has gone to medical school and does have significant training. You can still have a conversation and ask questions to make sure you're getting the right care for you right then.
In addition to that, I should mention that at Consumer Reports we've created an abundance of consumer materials. All of these materials are available for free for the public. This is a part of Consumer Reports that we are making available to the public at no cost.
To get these materials, people can go to our website at www.ConsumerHealthChoices.org.
Helen: We'll have that URL on the Health Literacy Out Loud web page.
Beccah: Once they're there, they can look at the Choosing Wisely campaign or any of our other health campaigns on that website. They'll also find all kinds of materials. They'll find easy-to-read materials about all different types of medical tests and procedures.
I mentioned back pain earlier, but there are all kinds of tests and treatments, like antibiotics for kids with sore throats, bone density tests for adults, cancer treatments, cardiac imaging and colonoscopy. They can go and look at all of these and become educated and more informed before they talk to their healthcare provider.
Helen: They can go look at these. Can they print them out?
Beccah: Yes, they can absolutely print them out. Not only can patients print them out, but healthcare providers can also print them out and have them available at their offices.
Helen: I'm assuming because you have all of these associations on board that these are all vetted medically and scientifically?
Helen: Beccah, I know you have been very involved in the literacy world for years. What do you think about the health literacy part of these materials?
Beccah: The reason I actually got involved in this campaign at the beginning was because in my previous role at UC Berkeley I was working in health literacy. Consumer Reports came to us and asked if we could create these materials in an easy-to-read language so that people with lower literacy skills would find them accessible.
All of these are available in plain English at a lower literacy level, and also in Spanish in plain language.
Helen: That's terrific. I'm so glad you were part of it. You were a true believer beforehand as you were helping to write these. I can't wait to see them. What else would you like all of our listeners to know or do?
Beccah: There are also a lot of other campaign materials that people can use. We have videos, posters, and wallet cards that patients can put in their wallets so that they remember the questions to ask when they get to their doctor's office. They can become partners on the campaign if they are in a nonprofit organization that is interested. I can talk to them about that.
Helen: What does it mean to be a partner?
Beccah: A partner agrees to distribute our material and work with us on the campaign. They're our dissemination partners. One of the most important things is to get this information out to the public and to patients and consumers.
Helen: How would someone reach you if they want to be a partner?
Beccah: They can reach me by email. I imagine you can find my email on the website.
Helen: We'll have that on the Health Literacy Out Loud website too.
Beccah: That's great. They can also contact us through the www.ConsumerHealthChoices.orgwebsite. There's a "contact us" button there.
Helen: It sounds like that journey that you and I started many years ago has become amplified. I think I met you at a meeting where maybe there were 100 of us that were starting to do this health literacy work a long time ago.
Look at us now. You're across the country and we're having this podcast. It's just magnified so many times. Do you ever reflect on that little germ of an idea and where this has gone?
Beccah: Yes, I do think about that. You're right. You and I met many years ago at a health literacy conference in Montreal with only about 100 people. It's really amazing to me how far the field of health literacy has come in all of those years and how many different types of organizations have become involved.
It's really on the radar screen of hospitals, policy organizations and public health departments. I think it's great that Consumer Reports is working in this area as well.
Helen: I think it is too. Look into your crystal ball. What do you see happening or hope will happen in about five years?
Beccah: What I would love to see is that this campaign takes off into a much larger movement, and I think it already is doing that. Providers and consumers are starting to engage in conversation. I think with the Affordable Care Act, there will be a lot more patients in the healthcare system than ever before.
What I would love to see is for this Choosing Wisely campaign to take on a much bigger life than it already has, although it already has quite bit, and make it so the patients and providers are engaging in open conversations about healthcare and the best possible treatment for them at that particular time.
Helen: Thank you for your vision and for doing all you are doing in bringing together all of those pieces about literacy, health literacy, patient engagement and the consumer's perspective. Thank you for sharing that with us on Health Literacy Out Loud.
Helen: I learned so much from talking with Beccah Rothschild, and I hope that you learned a lot from our conversation too. But health literacy isn't always easy.
