Os Planaltos Cazaques (Cazaque: Сарыарқа – «faixa amarela»), também conhecidos como a Crista Cazaque, formam uma grande peneplanície, formação que se estende até às regiões centrais e orientais do Cazaquistão. Esta zona consiste de montanhas baixas e planícies elevadas, e contém grandes depósitos de carvão mineral no norte e cobre no sul. Raras espécies, assim como o guepardo-asiático, ainda vivem no meio da região. Diversas cidades notáveis, incluindo a capital do país, Astana, são localizadas aqui.

Das Veronikamarterl auf dem Gemeindegebiet der Stadt Pulkau in Niederösterreich steht unter Denkmalschutz ().

Geschichte und Beschreibung
Das Veronikamarterl aus dem Jahr 1623 steht zwischen Bäumen auf einer kleinen, aber steilen Erhebung neben der Landesstraße 1056 von Pulkau nach Leodagger nördlich der Kreuzung mit der Landesstraße 41. Früher befand sich hier das Ufer des Pulkauer Teichs, der unterdessen trockengelegt wurde.

Auf einer mit Erde überdeckten und überwachsenen Grundplatte steht eine Säule, die einen viereckigen Tabernakel mit Kreuz trägt.

Die schlanke Steinsäule ist an ihren Ecken auslaufend abgefast, so dass sich am oberen und unteren Ende ein Kubus bildet. Da die glatte Säule keine Verwitterungsspuren aufweist, wird angenommen, dass bei einer Renovierung eine ältere Säule ersetzt wurde, wobei eventuell vorhandene Inschriften verloren gingen.

Auf der Säule sitzt ein an allen Seiten geschlossenen Tabernakel, der an drei Seiten in flachen Nischen Reliefs von Heiligen trägt:

Auf dem Tabernakel ruht ein steinernes Ankerkreuz.

LONDON, Feb. 24 (UPI) — UBS and the Gallup Organization said Monday optimism among individual investors in the five largest European Union countries fell to a new low in February as the prospect of war against Iraq dominated all other political and economic issues.
UBS and the Gallup said its European index of investor optimism sank 10 points to 37 in February — its lowest level since it began the index in October 2001.
The report showed investors' growing concerns about the financial markets' outlook and the ability to achieve their investment targets over the next 12 months were primarily responsible for the decline in the index.
UBS and the Gallup said this month, 61 percent of the investors polled reported they were pessimistic about the performance of the stock markets over the coming year, compared with 52 percent in January.
The report also showed 63 percent of those surveyed said now is not a good time to invest — the highest level measured since the survey began.
Among European investors in the five largest EU countries — France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom — a potential war in Iraq was viewed as the most important threat to global stock markets, with 60 percent of those polled sharing this view.
The report also showed that 16 percent of those polled said the possibility of major terrorist attacks was the most important threat to global stock markets and 13 percent said a prolonged economic downturn.
UBS and Gallup said 28 percent of the investors polled said they believed a war with Iraq will have an extremely negative impact on global stock markets, and an additional 43 percent said they believe a war would have a somewhat negative effect.
The polled also showed 16 percent of those questioned anticipate a war with Iraq will have a positive impact on the markets, and 10 percent expect no significant impact.

Robyn Whitmore Sierra Lane Productions
October 3, 2018 October 3, 2018 / The Worthwhile Journey / 4 Letter Films	/ Leave a comment
Robyn Whitmore of Sierra Lane Productions has attempted to bring issues in a Louisiana community that was once considered taboo yet remains in certain societies today. Independent films are normally funny, creative and sometimes thought provocative while being created on a low budget. Ms. Whitmore seems to have covered the norm while extending boundaries of various subject matters.
The result or transparent review of the noted project is: "Sometimes the results doesn't resembles the efforts". Its safe to say that Ms. Whitmore has more in-store in the now "DIY" realm of film-making. The limitations and/or congenial cooperation between the cast members of this indie film doesn't seem to have been an handicap. However the scattered concept of the film does leave one to ponder- "What is the statement or concept behind the stories? There seems to be more than one"
"A blended family has to face some harsh realities about their father and siblings while preparing for an annual ball."– Robyn Whitmore
A loyal lover of film will see the subliminal talent of Ms. Whitmore. It is recommendation that, you the reader, not only watch the film in its entirety but also follow the future projects of Sierra Lane Productions. The best is yet to come.

The bus operator Eurobus has been using climate-friendly hybrid buses since the beginning of the year.
The Eurobus buses are used on routes in Switzerland.
In the Regionale Verkehrsbetriebe Baden-Wettingen (RVBW), the project has also been able to gain a public transport company as a partner. The pictur shows all RVBW Hybrid busses.
The buses are powered by state-of-the-art engines. Each litre of diesel saved is equivalent to a 2.5-kilogramme reduction in CO2 emissions.
The participating partners are doing pioneering work in spreading acceptance of the technology.
Lucerne transport operations make use of three latest-generation hybrid buses. They are testimony to the vbl's awareness that innovative technology should take into account environmental aspects too.
The programme is still open for bus operators to take part. You can find contact information in the attached brochures.
The number of electric and hybrid buses on Swiss roads remains insignificant and are estimated to account for less than 1%. Conventional diesel buses are still the first choice for new acquisitions. Various pilot projects with electric and hybrid buses have been unable to buck this trend. Key reasons for this are the high investment costs and the lack of experience.
The climate protection programme encourages the purchase of electric and hybrid buses. As a FOEN-registered programme, reduction certificates issued by the FOEN can be purchased for reductions in CO2 emissions generated by the electric and hybrid buses. The proceeds from the sale of the certificates enable bus operators to plan their capital outlays more profitably in the medium term. The programme is open to both public transport operators as well as private bus companies throughout Switzerland.
Since 2014, bus operator Eurobus, the Regionale Verkehrsbetriebe Baden-Wettingen (RVBW) and Aare Seeland mobil have become the first participants to employ several hybrid buses in Switzerland. Verkehrsbetriebe Luzern (vbl), Busbetriebe Ostschweiz (BOS) and L'Oiseau Bleu participated later. Other operators are constantly joining the programme.
The programme and the companies participating in it are not only making an important contribution to cutting emissions, but their pioneering role will also make a valuable contribution to raising public awareness of and experience with the use of electric and hybrid buses on Swiss roads.
myclimate would be delighted to present the programme in detail to interested bus operators and in collaboration with them enable a tailor-made participation. For further information please contact us directly.

Asymptotically approaching religion
Good stuff in the atheism discussion.
John Wilkins points out that religion is a human institution, and like all such is responsible for a lot of good, evil, and none of the above. Ascription is difficult to impossible, and because religion is an inextricable part of human culture and psychology, it won't go away just because some scientists don't like it.
Sean Carroll has a very interesting post where he (starting from Terry Eagleton's negative review of The God Delusion) dissects the standard Western idea of God into its component parts: the abstract, impersonal, and universal god of the Greek philosophers, and the personal tribal deity of the Hebrews. This post, more than any other, is resonating with my own semi-articulated thinking, so I'll jump off with it.
The one idea in my head that won't go away is this: God is not an existing object, like a chair or a person or a teapot orbiting Jupiter. Whatever the word "God" means, it's not that, not this. Whether you are an atheist or theist, it seems clear that whatever kind of existence you believe in, it's not the kind of existence engaged in my ordinary objects, but something else, something that ordinary language fails at capturing.
There are other things we think about that have an existence of a kind other than chairs and teapots; things which are real (in some sense) but not material. These would include concepts (like the number 2) and fictional characters (Harry Potter), as well as religious concepts like gods, spirits, and souls. It is at best misleading to say that these either exist or don't exist. My strong intuition is that both theism and atheism, at least in their naive forms, are philosophical mistakes.
Of course such intellectual games satisfy nobody. The faithful don't believe in abstractions, and the skeptical don't want to be bothered with sophistry.
Carroll points out out a deep flaw in Eagleton's argument. Eagleton chides Dawkins for having a naive concept of God, as opposed to the more abstract kind preferred by sophisticated theologians. Fine, But then Eagleton goes on to attribute anthropomorphc properites like love and creativity to what was until now a vague abstraction like "the ground of being". I may as well quote Carroll at length:
The previous excerpt, which defined God as "the condition of possibility," seemed to be warning against the dangers of anthropomorphizing the deity, ascribing to it features that we would normally associate with conscious individual beings such as ourselves. A question like "Does `the condition of possibility' exist?" would never set off innumerable overheated arguments, even in a notoriously contentious blogosphere. If that were really what people meant by "God," nobody would much care. It doesn't really mean anything — like Spinoza's pantheism, identifying God with the natural world, it's just a set of words designed to give people a warm and fuzzy feeling. As a pragmatist, I might quibble that such a formulation has no operational consequences, as it doesn't affect anything relevant about how we think about the world or act within it; but if you would like to posit the existence of a category called "the condition of possibility," knock yourself out.
But — inevitably — Eagleton does go ahead and burden this innocent-seeming concept with all sorts of anthropomorphic baggage. God created the universe "out of love," is capable of "regret," and "is an artist." That's crazy talk. What could it possibly mean to say that "The condition of possibility is an artist, capable of regret"? Nothing at all. Certainly not anything better-defined than "My envy and my left foot constitute a pair of objects." And once you start attributing to God the possibility of being interested in some way about the world and the people in it, you open the door to all of the nonsensical rules and regulations governing real human behavior that tend to accompany any particular manifestation of religious belief, from criminalizing abortion to hiding women's faces to closing down the liquor stores on Sunday.
The problematic nature of this transition — from God as ineffable, essentially static and completely harmless abstract concept, to God as a kind of being that, in some sense that is perpetually up for grabs, cares about us down here on Earth — is not just a minor bump in the otherwise smooth road to a fully plausible conception of the divine. It is the profound unsolvable dilemma of "sophisticated theology." It's a millenia-old problem, inherited from the very earliest attempts to reconcile two fundamentally distinct notions of monotheism: the Unmoved Mover of ancient Greek philosophy, and the personal/tribal God of Biblical Judaism.
Carroll goes on with an excellent analysis of the incompatiblity of these two concepts of God, which is entirely worth reading, but I disagree with his conclusion that the incompatibility and incoherence of these ideas means that God doesn't exist. As I said, both existence and non-existence seem inapplicable predicates.
I believe that "God" is a coherent idea (or meme if you will), as it seems to be, since both theists and atheists seem to have a rough agreement about what they are talking about, and just disagree on its ontological status. It's not coherent in the philosophical sense (as Carroll shows), but coherent in the sense that its a stable idea, a mind-virus that thrives in the environment of human culture. Is it an idea like "Harry Potter", that is, purely fictional and arbitrary? Or is it more like a mathematical idea, like pi or the Pythagorean theorem, immaterial objects that seem to have a real existence outside of human culture and invention? Harry Potter is likely to be forgotten in a thousand years (well, maybe not...) but God is likely to stay, despite the best efforts of people like Dawkins.
My intuition, which I can't yet articulate, is that there is something about the concept of God that can almost be captured in a formal mathematical way, something that makes it a necessary concept of minds that are conscious and have agency. God's ontological status is somewhere between Harry Potter (wholly fictional and arbitrary) and pi (an apparently inevitable aspect of some deep structure of reality). Or so my flailing intuition tells me.

Against easy atheism
Atheism is much in the air these days, with new books by Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris, and a secondary wave of reviews and criticism, including Thomas Nagel in TNR, Marilyne Robinson in Harpers, Terry Eagleton in the LRB, and Jim Holt in the NYT, and Gary Wolf in Wired. These responses are mostly not from a standpoint of religious faith, rather, insofar as they are critical it's because of Dawkins' deliberately crude argumentation tactics. I find myself fence-straddling in this conversation -- on the one hand, I'm a sciencey guy and am alarmed at the rising political power of religious nfundamentalists. On the other hand, I don't think dismissing a large chunk of human culture and experience as simply a "delusion" is wise, from both the abstract philosophical standpoint and as a political tactic. So I find myself in sympathy with Dawkin's critics.
Dawkins engages in inverse cherry-picking (there should be a word for that) when it comes to religion, cataloging its many sins and failures but mostly ignoring whatever positive contributions it makes to human life. Robinson points out that science is not without sin itself and that if you are going to compare the two it must be done fairly:
The nineteenth-century abolitionist, feminist, essayist, and ordained minister Thomas Wentworth Higginson made the always timely point that, in comparing religions, great care must be taken to consider the best elements of one with the best of the other, and the worst with the worst, to avoid the usual practice of comparing, let us say, the fatwa against Salman Rushdie with the Golden Rule. The same principle might be applied in the comparison of religion and science. To set the declared hopes of one against the real-world record of the other is clearly not useful, no matter which of them is flattered by the comparison. What is religion? It is described by Dawkins as a virtually universal feature of human culture. But there is, commingled with it, indisputably and perhaps universally, doubt, hypocrisy, and charlatanism. Dawkins, for his part, considers religion wholly delusional, and he condemns the best of it for enabling all the worst of it. Yet if religion is to be blamed for the fraud done in its name, then what of science? Is it to be blamed for the Piltdown hoax, for the long-credited deceptions having to do with cloning in South Korea? If by "science" is meant authentic science, then "religion" must mean authentic religion, granting the difficulties in arriving at these definitions.
Dawkins fails to recognize that religion is not primarily about belief. Religion is about community, ritual, and emotional comfort, which is why people are so attached to it. The facticity of religious belief system is a secondary matter, and that's why attacks like Dawkins just seem misplaced. Dawkins takes religion as merely a bad form of science, a theory of nature which happens to be untrue. This misses the point completely, and it misses the point in the same way that religious fundamentalists seem to miss the point of their own faiths. Dumb religion breeds dumb criticism of religion. He's picking on the weakest form of religion, practiced by the weak-minded. It's not very interesting.
It's also ineffectual. The spiritual side of human nature isn't going to respond well to reason and argument. By deliberately promoting war between fundamentalist religion and fundamentalist atheism, and lumping in religious moderates with the former, Dawkins may stir controversy but is unlikely to change any minds. Religion won't go away. Atheists don't have the numbers to win a straight-out political war, so it just seems like better tactics to promote weak forms of religion that do not conflict with science, rather than lump moderates with fundamentalists.
So, while no religious believer, I'm not a fan of the sort of fundamentalist atheism espoused by Dawkins, Harris, and PZ Myers. I'm find it much more interesting to search for some way to reconcile spiritual concepts with with science. It's more challenging and risks being ridiculous, but something compels me to think about this nonsense (see here and here for previous attempts).

Who's writing this?
It's a pleasure to see the Republicans in such disarray. After years of misrule by these clowns, years where it seemed their chokehold on power seemed impregnable, this sort of downfall provides a very satisfying dramatic arc.
It seems very likely that some kind of military action in Iran was being planned, and it also seems likely that the combination of Predatorgate and the new Woodward book has made that impossible now. It would be too obviously an attempt to change the subject and influence the election.
The world can hardly afford another horrendous mess in the middle east. If we are spared, we might have Mark Foley's creepiness to thank for it.
Having a war stopped by intenet sex chat also has a certain literary feel to it.

The term POC ("person of color" or "people of color") has become prominent in the last few decades, especially in the United States. It is a very useful term for discussing the way that all people who are not white may be subject to racism in the United States and many other countries, and for allowing us to build coalitions against racism in solidarity across many different ethnic groups.
We must be careful to remember, however, that not all POC have the same experiences, because the broad phenomenon of racism impacts different individuals differently.
Kimberlé Crenshaw introduced the theory of "intersectionality," and in the last thirty years, it has been widely embraced as an important concept.
Intersectionality refers to the way that the different components of a person's identity intersect one another and produce effects that result from their combination of identities. For example, a black woman's experience of racism is impacted by her identity as a woman, and her experience of sexism is impacted by her identity as black.
These effects are not additive and instead need to be looked at in their complex interactions. For instance, a black woman's experience of racism and sexism does not look like just a black man's experience added to a white woman's experience, because the combination of racism and sexism results in a new set of effects.
Intersectionality can examine a wide range of identity categories, including but certainly not limited to gender, race, class, sexual orientation, ability, religion, immigration status, immigration generation, language, and age. When we talk about sexism or racism, we need to remember to think about how these forces of oppression impact not just people with our same set of identities, but also those with identities that differ from ours.
Although people of different races can all experience racism, the process of racialization can look different for each racial group. Racist structures and concepts can function differently or even oppositely for different racial groups, to the overall advantage of the institutions that benefit from racism.
One example from the early history of the United States is the difference between how multiracial Native Americans and African Americans were legally classified.
For Native Americans, "blood quantum" rules were used, which meant that a multiracial person had to have a certain documented "percentage" of Native American ancestry in order to count as Native American. The racist advantage of this system to colonial government was that they could limit the number of people who counted as Native American, and therefore limit the number of people with whom they were legally obligated to respect their treaties. Nowadays, different Native American tribes have come to different decisions on how to respond to the complicated issue of blood quantum rules.
For African Americans, however, "one drop" rules were used. This meant that a multiracial person was counted as black if there was even one documented black person in their ancestry. This system had the racist advantage of increasing the number of people who could be enslaved or, later, subject to discrimination. Even though this was the opposite racial logic to the one that was used for Native Americans, these two contradictory systems flourished under racist structures.
Another example of different racialization in more recent years comes from the model minority myth. The myth claims that some racial minorities have managed to be successful in the United States, particularly Asian Americans.
This myth allows the discrimination and inequalities faced by Asian Americans to be ignored. The averages in statistics on income and educational attainment, for instance, mask the challenges that appear when the numbers are broken down into smaller categories. The focus on so-called "positive stereotypes" cloak the damages of any kind of racial stereotype, and also cloak the reality of racial prejudice that Asian Americans can encounter.
The model minority myth also pits Asian Americans against other racial minorities, including African Americans, Native Americans, and Latinx, by claiming that hard work is all that is needed to overcome racism in the United States. It erases the different histories of each of these populations, which include slavery, colonialism, and immigration law.
What we need is an accurate understanding of the distinct challenges that racism can pose for various ethnic groups, and the goal of eliminating racial disparities with an open mind to where and how they may occur.
Finally, we cannot forget that the United States is not the only country where racial and ethnic dynamics occur. Furthermore, the way that race and ethnicity function in the United States is often not the same as the way that they function in other countries. The term POC has been particularly rooted in the history of the United States, but in our multicultural and international world, especially online, we need to make sure that our conversations are attentive to the national context from which we are speaking.
Indigenous people all over the world have nuanced histories, political goals, and terminology. In Canada, where I was born, the chosen terminology is usually First Nations, Métis, and Inuit, rather than Native Americans as is common in the United States.
The racial divisions that may be familiar to you from the census and doctor's forms will likely look different in another country. The term mestizo is an important one in Latin American countries and Latinx communities, although it may be encountered less often in the United States as a whole and has different connotations than the terms "mixed race" or "multiracial," carrying with it attention to colonial history.
As CBE-VOC explored in an Admin Speak webinar just this past May, although both African Americans and Africans would be considered racially black in the United States, African Americans and Africans often have vastly different experiences of racialization, both in their respective countries of birth and while living in the same country, and they may hold different and even hostile views towards each other.
A country's specific history has an enormous impact on how race and ethnicity function within it. Recognizing this variation not only helps us understand one another better, but exposes how race and ethnicity are socially constructed, and encourages us that how they work can always be changed.

Well said! Are these distinctions also similar to the different experiences of different people is considered to be white?
Thank you! I appreciate your question. If I understand you correctly, I think that some of these distinctions are applicable, and others are less so. The idea of intersectionality applies to all people, so a white person's white racial identity is a component of how they experience the world and it impacts their experiences of their other identities as well. Different racialization is a bit less applicable (in the sense that this article discusses it) since there aren't other privileged racial groups to compare white racialization to, and since white racialization is a privilege rather than a barrier. National context is important for white people too, but my sense is that there is on average less variation than for POC. Hope these reflections are helpful!


HA HAHAHAHAHA! Stop, you're killing me. No, really, I mean it! 10 hours. Hell, we're lucky if we can get the Hatchling to sleep for 10 hours a day. I've been tracking her sleep patterns for the last week, just to try and get a better sense of her habits, if any. Kids her age are supposed to sleep for about 15 hours in any given 24 hour period, most of which should occur at night. The Hatchling does get most of her sleep at night; the problem is it's only about 7-8 hours a night. And then her napping is typically 45 minutes here, 1/2 hour there. It's just plain not enough, and I honestly don't know what to do at this point to help her sleep more. She's too young for sleep training (which, thank god, we can start in another month), and we've done all the stuff about always having her sleep in her crib, darkening the room, adding white noise, have a regular routine before sleeping, etc., etc. None of it seems to get her to sleep enough. Result: overtired and cranky. The baby, too. Any suggestions for making it through the next month?

Open Climate Webinar: Indigenous knowledge, land and body
With Kyle White (University of Michigan), Janet Maro (Sustainable Agriculture Tanzania) and
Alex Boyd (Intercultural Roots)
In this first session in the series we explore some of many unheard perspectives. We will explore the role that Indigenous ecological knowledge plays in decolonising climate agendas, such as those advanced recently at COP26. Indigenous futures do not fixate on crisis, but are often embedded in regenerative healing and spiritual knowledge. What does this say about Western colonial climate agendas, and the focus on finance and economic development?
This event will focus on land based solutions to climate change drawing on grassroots agro-ecology. We will explore the importance of bodily perspectives in combatting anxiety in times of upheaval and confusion.
KYLE WHYTE is George Willis Pack Professor of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan, teaching in the environmental justice specialisation. His research addresses environmental justice, focusing on moral and political issues concerning climate policy and Indigenous peoples, the ethics of cooperative relationships between Indigenous peoples and science organisations, and problems of Indigenous justice in public and academic discussions of food sovereignty, environmental justice, and the Anthropocene. He is an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation.
JANET MARO is a leading Tanzanian social entrepreneur and agro-ecologist. In 2011, she founded Sustainable Agriculture Tanzania (SAT), an umbrella organisation that acts as the main centre for organic and sustainable agriculture in this country. Sustenance agriculture is an important strategy for the sustainable protection of native forest in Eastern Africa. The SAT Farmer Training Centre has thus far trained more than 1,000 people from Africa, Europe, America and Scandinavia on Sustainable Land Management (SLM). Janet was finalist for the Tanzania Women of Achievement Awards (2013), as well as finalist for the Guardian International Development Achievement Award, also in 2013. She featured in National Geographic's "The Next Green Revolution" issue, where she discusses ecological organic agriculture in her country. In 2017, Sustainable Agriculture Tanzania won the first Lush Spring Prize Award for Established Projects.
ALEX BOYD is the Founder and Director of Intercultural Roots, and a Qi Gong Teacher. He has spent most of his life learning from Taoist arts and Chinese embodied culture, a millennial tradition that considers humanity as an integral part of nature through a connection between earth and sky. The Taoist arts Alex inherited from his Chinese teachers cultivate a felt-sense for harmony and, through energetic, breath and movement practices, enable a life in balance in times of ecological disharmony.

Forgeting is Good for You? New Research Shows How Growth of Too Many New Neurons Could Actually Be More Harmful
New research from Columbia University Medical Center may explain why people who are able to easily and accurately recall historical dates or long-ago events, may have a harder time with word recall or remembering the day's current events. They may have too much memory - making it harder to filter out information and increasing the time it takes for new short-term memories to be processed and stored.
Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (March 13, 2007 issue), the research reinforces the old adage that too much of anything - even something good for you - can actually be detrimental. In this case, the good thing is the growth of new neurons, a process called neurogenesis, in the hippocampus, the region of the brain responsible for learning and memory.
Results of the study, conducted with mice, found that the absence of neurogenesis in the hippocampus improves working memory, a specific form of short-term memory that relates to the ability to store task-specific information for a limited timeframe, e.g., where your car is parked in a huge mall lot or remembering a phone number for few seconds before writing it down. Because working memory is highly sensitive to interference from information previously stored in memory, forgetting such information may therefore be necessary for performing everyday working memory tasks, such as balancing your check book or decision making.
'The eyes have it' - autism research yields surprising results
The Unoversity of Nottingham
Autistic children are able to interpret the mental state of others by looking at their eyes, contrary to previous research, a new University of Nottingham study has found.
In findings that contradict previous studies, psychologists found that autistic children can 'read' a stranger's mental state based on that person's eyes. Autistic children have long been thought to be poor at interpreting people's mental states based on facial expressions, especially expressions around the eyes.
Some researchers believe that this lack of ability could be central to the social problems experienced by autistic children and adults.
But the latest findings cast doubt on this hypothesis. A study at The University of Nottingham found that autistic children were able to interpret mental states when looking at animated facial expressions. The findings also suggest that the use of moving images, rather than conventional still pictures, gives a much more accurate measure of the abilities of autistic children.
Alzheimer's vaccine works on mice: Japan scientist
Thu, 29 Mar 2007 15:00 UTC
Japanese scientists have developed an oral vaccine for Alzheimer's disease that has proven effective and safe in mice, the director of a research institute behind the project said on Thursday.
The team is preparing to move to small-scale clinical trials in humans, possibly this year, said Takeshi Tabira, director of the National Institute for Longevity Sciences in Aichi, central Japan.
Cancer therapy: When all else fails? Or maybe try this first.
Linda Geddes
Newscientist
Lawrence Burgh has a sober outlook on life. A 48-year-old physician whose career has centred on treating seriously ill patients, Burgh was diagnosed with cancer in December 2006. Yet despite his clinical experience, he has taken an extraordinary step to try to rid himself of his illness, a step many would consider to be a medical heresy.
Comment: Sounds like the Cancer Industry is going into damage control. Can't have cheap, safe drugs usurping investors profits.
Where's Your Pain? New Insights Into How The Brain Processes Pain Location
Is that pain in your chest a heart attack or indigestion? New research from Wake Forest University School of Medicine reveals that more areas of the brain than previously thought are involved in determining the location of pain.
Spatial aspects of pain are a common problem in diagnosis, said Robert Coghill, Ph.D., senior researcher on the study and a neuroscientist at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Patients cannot always distinguish pain from indigestion and pain from a heart attack, for example. Pain from a nerve injury is often felt at sites other than at the injury. And, in some cases, an injury on one side of the body results in pain on both sides.
"The scientific understanding of spatial aspects of pain is so limited that patients with widespread pain may get sent to a psychiatrist rather than a pain clinic," said Coghill.
Smokers make poorer military slaves
EurekAlert
Smokers perform worse at work than non-smokers, finds a study of US navy female service members published in Tobacco Control .
Smokers were also more likely to have a less than honourable discharge, to be demoted, to desert, and to earn less than their non-smoking colleagues, the study showed.
Historically, the prevalence of smoking among US military personnel has been higher than among civilians, say the authors. After a period of decline, smoking rates have once more started to climb.
There are currently around 59,000 women serving in the US Navy.
The findings are based on an analysis of the career progression of almost 5,500 women entering the US Navy over a period of 12 months between 1996 and 1997.
Exercise Makes You Stronger, Faster, Smarter - Even Rejuvenates You!
Mary Carmichael
The stereotype of the "dumb jock" has never sounded right to Charles Hillman. A jock himself, he plays hockey four times a week, but when he isn't body-checking his opponents on the ice, he's giving his mind a comparable workout in his neuroscience and kinesiology lab at the University of Illinois.
Nearly every semester in his classroom, he says, students on the women's cross-country team set the curve on his exams. So recently he started wondering if there was a vital and overlooked link between brawn and brains - if long hours at the gym could somehow build up not just muscles, but minds.

U.N. recommends male circumcision to prevent HIV
Laura MacInnis
GENEVA - The United Nations on Wednesday endorsed male circumcision as a way to prevent HIV infections in heterosexual men and said it should be made more easily available in African countries.
Two U.N. agencies, the World Health Organisation (WHO) and UNAIDS, backed recent research showing that removing the foreskin of the penis can more than halve men's vulnerability to the virus causing AIDS from having sex with HIV-infected women.

Hearing Aids: One membrane, many frequencies
Jennifer Manning
Modern hearing aids, though quite sophisticated, still do not faithfully reproduce sound as hearing people perceive it. New findings at the Weizmann Institute of Science shed light on a crucial mechanism for discerning different sound frequencies and thus may have implications for the design of better hearing aids.
Research by Dr. Itay Rousso of the Weizmann Institute's Structural Biology Department, which recently appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), suggests that a thin structure in the inner ear called the tectorial membrane responds to different frequencies. This membrane communicates between the outer hair cells (which amplify sound in the form of mechanical vibrations) and the inner hair cells (which convert these mechanical vibrations to electrical signals and pass them on to the brain via the auditory nerve). If certain genes for this membrane are missing or damaged, total deafness ensues.
Rousso and research student Rachel Gueta, together with researchers at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, wanted to explore the mechanical properties of the tectorial membrane. Using an atomic force microscope, which probes surfaces with a fine microscopic needle, they tested the resistance of the gel-like membrane at various points to assess precisely how rigid or flexible it was. To their surprise, the scientists found that the level of rigidity varies significantly along the length of the membrane: One end of the membrane can be up to ten times more rigid than the other.

Miles Kane has admitted he realised how surreal it was to be in the company of rock legend Paul Weller when they went for fish and chips together.
In an interview with Radio X, he admitted: ''It probably wasn't even being on stage that I felt: 'This is kind of amazing'.
Miles - who releases his new record 'Coup De Grace' on Friday (10.08.18) - says the one piece of knowledge that Weller, 60 - who is known as The Modfather - has passed onto him is to always ''embrace the youth'' and not get envious of younger stars.
He explained: ''He embraces the youth and he told me about that a few years ago.
On 'Coup De Grace', Miles co-wrote most of the songs with Jamie T, including 'Loaded' featuring Lana Del Rey, and he described the experience as ''simple'' with them just jamming on the sofa.
''But there was no guarantee that it would work. The minute we sat down and picked up the acoustics [guitars] it just happened.
''And every day we did that. We'd right a tune.

Waking from well-deserved rest, our "dragon-slaying" heroes were roused from their beds by knocks on Simon's cabin door. The mayor's scout reminded them of their newfound mission to stop the cultist threat from spreading and the cult's meeting place: an altar deep in the woods. Gathering up their equipment, the adventurers left Simon to rest from the previous day's injuries. Shopping around for supplies and a horse was a thing that happened before heading east to the familiar woods.
Jonathan Jones, warrior elite, was stomping out his campfire and rolling up his fur mattress, grinning and ready for more action. Our adventurers Tim, Liz, Archie and Juicy informed the dragonman of the cultists and their meeting place in the woods. "As it happens," Jonny said, "I've been giving these jerks meat for a while," holding up half a goat carcass. Leading the pack, the sun rising overhead, Jonny lead everyone to a clearing in the thick forest, the bloody altar lying ahead. All agreeing to lie in wait to tail and/or kill whoever comes, Jonny left the goat on the altar and everyone fled to the edge of the clearing, peering between trees. The hot noon turned to cool evening as a single cultist entered the clearing. Picking up the goat, the cultist muttered something before heading back the way he came. Our heroes kept stride with the gothic figure, ducking and weaving through trees. Keeping out of sight of the cultist, Juicy split from the group to go hard on his trail, the rest of the group keeping a meandering pace. The cultist began running! So did Juicy! He launched an arrow, sinking into the small of the crazed runner's back! Not to be outrun, Juicy kept ferocious pace, the robed man slowing. Juicy did the guy in with one more arrow! Taking in some hot, humid air, Juicy took note of his surroundings: mossy cave walls, a stream running deep into the cave, torches on the walls, soft earth squished underneath his boots, a trail of blood leading to the dead fellow in front of him and his comrades approaching the scene having followed the blood trail.


Many women go for a long time without being diagnosed with PCOS as they don't consider their symptoms to be related, and seek treatment for them one at a time. These symptoms might include irregular periods, infertility, acne, hirstuism or weight gain and difficulties with weight loss.
Oligo- or anovulation (this means irregular or absent menstrual periods).
Clinical and/or biochemical signs of hyperandrogenism (this means high levels of male hormones on a blood test or signs of increased male hormone levels such as acne and excess hair).
Other conditions which might cause similar symptoms to PCOS such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, androgen-secreting tumours and Cushing's syndrome need to be ruled out.
While testing for insulin resistance is not part of these guidelines, many doctors will also do a Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) to test for high insulin levels, which are commonly seen in women with PCOS. Due to the increased risk of type 2 diabetes associated with PCOS, best practice guidelines recommend that all women with PCOS are screened for diabetes every 2 years with a OGTT, or yearly if they have other risk factors for diabetes.

Dying from diseases like ALS and Alzheimer's is a tormenting process. The illnesses are on the increase and scientists believe environmental toxins can trigger the disease in a gene/environment interaction. Narrated by Harrison Ford, Toxic Puzzle is a medical and environmental detective story where documentary filmmaker Bo Landin follows ethnobotanist Dr. Paul Alan Cox and his scientific team around the world in a hunt for the hidden killer. The pieces come together in a toxic puzzle where cyanobacteria in our waters become the culprit. Toxic Puzzle includes compelling scenes filmed in Toledo, Sandusky and other communities bordering Lake Erie, where the potential health consequences of algae blooms are drawing increasing attention.
Following the screening, director Landin and Dr. Cox will discuss the making of the film and what they've learned since the film's release.

Fear at Work
Posted by woody woodruff 270.40Pts on March 27, 2020
/By Kurt Stand/ Worry slowly mounted over the past few weeks – but worry about what? I work at a bookstore that is part of a restaurant and event space. Since the New Year there has been – like the spread of coronavirus itself — growing concern about the disease, slight at first, then becoming deeper and more profound. For some, the danger has seemed exaggerated, for others danger signs were seen everywhere. By contrast, simultaneously a fear spread shared equally by all my co-workers – fear of loss of income, loss of job. That economic insecurity, more palpable, more familiar, easier to grasp and discuss, joined the nameless fear of illness. Taken together, we have lived a life of nervous anxiety.
All this contributed to an odd sensibility about customers, those coming in for a meal, to attend an event, to buy a book. After all, unlike a grocery store or pharmacy, no one "has to" go to a restaurant and so we wondered why folks might risk their health by going out to eat. Yet of course, we all wanted them to come, because if they didn't our jobs would be gone. Initially, despite the looming threat, people came. Then, overnight, there was a drop off. Events were hit first, with attendance down and then canceled. As news reports announced the virus' arrival in the vicinity, numbers eating out fell more. And with that, so too did book purchases – even though some bought in case they should have time on their hands, though others said, quite sensibly, now might be the time to read books that for too long have been sitting on a shelf at home. Servers, reliant on tips, were most impacted. Each day, more staff had shorter hours. Each day there was the hope people wouldn't be sensible, they would come in, mixed with the fear that someone infectious might enter too and infect us. Both the reality and what we thought about that reality became unsustainable as the news worsened hour by hour.
New rules were set – groups seated at a table had to be of six or less, booths and tables where diners sat had to be separated by an empty one; people should not sit or stand at the bar. All rules that proved hard to enforce. What do you say to two couples with three children who come for a meal? With a sense of foreboding, loud, boisterous crowds drank away at the bar one evening. The next night, according to the still newer rules, no bar service. Finally, the announcement: the governor declared all restaurants closed until the public health crisis passed. The last day, our regulars who come by themselves either to work with a cup of coffee or to have breakfast alone but not alone, all showed. Then the curtain closed.
The governor's decision was the correct one, no doubt. Public health is another way of describing taking care of each other. But it is not an easy road. While it is true no one has to eat out, it is also true that a shared meal outside of one's home has an intrinsic value that can't be easily measured. So too does browsing through a bookstore before making a purchase. The loss of such, when added to all the other closures involved in a quarantine, is real. It is a loss those of us who worked at this restaurant share in our own private lives.
I began by writing that I work at a bookstore, I now have to add an "ed" to that word. At the stroke of a pen, we were unemployed. For some the loss is harder than others – one co-worker was laid off from another job, her husband's hours were cut on a job that won't last much longer either. I wished her luck as she left with her child, blithely unaware of what's going on because of the brave, friendly face she wore. I have my own challenges, as do we all living within that palpable, familiar territory of unemployment, of income loss and just the sense of loss.
And meanwhile, the nameless worry about our health, the health of our family, friends, neighbors, remains. As does the unanswered question: what will we do about it?

Teens Are Feeling Climate Anxiety - The Years Project
Teens Are Feeling Climate Anxiety
By FXB Climate Advocates
By Willa Karr
At six in the morning, I'm up. Like most days, what wakes me is not an alarm clock but a chiming flood of notifications through my phone. Whether it be texts from friends, teachers' emails, Twitter threads, snapchats, or recent news articles, my head is loaded with information before I can get up to brush my teeth. The rest of the world is awake, and now I have to be too. While I get ready for school, I browse through the thoughts of millions of people online. What's pervading these peoples minds (and consequently my own) these days, is the fate of our world. It seems that not a moment goes by when I'm not reminded of the decaying planet we are left with. While I'm armed with an abundance of information at my fingertips, I can't help but feel powerless and a little bit alone. With social media to wake me up each morning, there's no way to escape the reality of what our planet is facing. I routinely pace around my bedroom, phone in hand, confronted with too many problems and very few solutions, while my parents are able to sit on the other side of my door, blissfully unaware. At just 15, I realized that the world as I know it may not be around as long as I will. My parents never had this problem.
Eco anxiety or "the chronic fear of environmental doom" is most prevalent in today's teenagers. According to a 2019 study, 57 percent of American kids feel terrified when it comes to climate change, a higher rate than among adults. There's an explanation for why. This generation of young people was born into a world that, environmentally, was already in disrepair. Our livelihoods depend on the future of our planet, yet we have been handed down very few resources, instruction, or support to help us face this ensuing crisis. Therefore, we are most at risk from the potentially devastating effects of climate change, but we hold no real positions of power to solve the problem. This knowledge of an incoming environmental crisis without the access to tools that may help combat it produces anxiety.
Social media, at the very least, has become an outlet for younger kids to express their frustrations and connect with others who feel the same. But, in some ways, it could also be amplifying our own anxieties. These days, social media runs most everything, so it's imperative for us to interface with it at a young age. But, when you're new to these platforms, it can all be very overwhelming. At a click of a button, users have access to a large amount of resources concerning a span of new and sometimes unfamiliar topics. You can discover and read a news report through Instagram while simultaneously scrolling through people's opinions about that same article on Twitter. Even when you're through with reading, you are redirected to dozen new links relating to similar issues. It can feel like a never-ending cycle. Consequently, kids these days are exposed to so much more. With social media by my side, I feel that I've grown up faster than expected. At the very least, faster than my parents ever had to. Yet, as a young person, it's physically harder for me to process this excess of information I am receiving on a daily basis.
Before the age of 25, the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that controls much of our behavior and emotion, is not fully developed. This means that the physiological threshold of a younger person is less than of an older person. Teenagers and young adults, therefore, connect more emotionally to things and tend to "think with their feelings" rather than thinking methodically when approached with a problem. This means we are particularly vulnerable to environmental stressors. When faced with the looming issue of climate change, an issue that is bound to directly affect our lives, it's hard for younger people not to become overwhelmed with negative emotions; our brains physically cannot detach from the problem and process it in a more logical way. In other words, climate changes are developing faster than the adolescent brain can handle.
Ultimately, the access and stress of social media combined with an underdeveloped brain, leaves kids these days extremely vulnerable to mental health problems when pressed with an issue like climate change. Older people like our parents have had decades to develop the mental capacity to deal with topics of mortality and disaster, but younger people are not yet built to cope with the environmental crisis they are facing. Nevertheless, we have been thrust into this situation, and it has taken its toll on us. Anxiety and mood disorders are more and more common in this younger generation, with 25 percent of today's youth meeting the criteria for these disorders.
So, what can we do to fix this? Although we may never have a definite answer, the solution is not to get rid of social media altogether. It may be contributing to our own anxiety, but it is not the source of it. The climate crisis is. If we set out to combat climate change, we will ultimately be combating climate anxiety too. In this sense, social media is the most useful tool that kids have in their power these days. Like any tool it can be used to benefit the situation or exacerbate it. Social media helps us rally together, plan protests, provide support to struggling friends, and share resources, but it can also raise alarm and spread disinformation. Just look up "eco-anxiety" on Google. You run into the article "Overwhelming and Terrifying; The Rise of Climate Anxiety" along with other more useful links to forums on mental health and to pages that help address symptoms of eco-anxiety you may be experiencing. With this Google search, you might encounter something helpful or you might get something that makes you feel far worse about the future. Your experience with the topic all depends on what you decide to click on.
Realistically, we can no longer reverse the effect climate change has had on our planet and on our people. But, one thing we can do is no longer turn a blind eye to the issue. We can accept that the situation we are facing is a reality, and instead of placing the blame on other people or things, we can strive towards a solution. Even though the reason why kids are at the forefront of the climate movement may be because of anxiety, we are here nonetheless and together in numbers, anxious to make a change. And with social media at our fingertips, we may have a lot more power than we initially believed. Because a 15-year-old me, stressed out and pacing my room, can reach back for her phone, and connect to thousands of other stressed out kids and an even greater number of reliable resources that make her feel heard and better prepared to face her future.

Thursday - Angie McAllister on How Academic Networking and Learning Analytics Can Help "Learning How to Learn"
Join me Thursday, September 6th, for a live and interactive FutureofEducation.com webinar with Angie McAllister, the Director of Data Innovation at Apollo Group, where she specializes in building adaptive learning systems for adult learners. Angie is an educator who has served for 21 years in public and private sectors as a teacher, administrator, and instructional designer in the US and abroad. She teaches courses in leadership theory, strategic management, leadership ethics, research methodology, and business communications.
Angie's specializes in the design and development of hyper-personalized learning ecosystems that enhance the educational experience and improve learning outcomes—particularly for more than 400,000 current working adult learners at University of Phoenix. We'll talk about what she is learning from running what they call the "largest academic social network anywhere;" the ethical responsibilities of how and when information is surfaced as a part of "learning analytics;" the need for more wisdom rather than just data; mentorship projects for adult learners; and the connection with "learning how to learn" and students driving their own learning in an era of "hyper-personalization."

The Ludwells and a Love of Tea
Do you like tea? So, it appears, did Philip Ludwell III's daughter Hannah Philippa Ludwell Lee, who received this book from the author in 1774 when she lived in London. The author, John Coakley Lettsom, was a physician, a Fellow of the Royal Society, an abolitionist, a friend of Benjamin Franklin, and was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1788. Lettsom inscribed the book:
Presented to HL Lee by the author September 19th 1774
In the late 1760s in London, following her father's death, Hannah married her cousin William Lee. William was a member of the renowned Lee family of Virginia and was elected Sheriff of London the year before Hannah received this book. He and his brother Arthur were among the first diplomats of the newly formed United States, and their brothers Richard Henry and Francis Lightfoot signed the Declaration of Independence just two years after Hannah received this copy of The Natural History of the Tea-Tree.
Hannah died in Belgium in 1784 as the couple prepared to return to the nascent United States. She was buried with her father in London at the Church of St. Mary-le-Bow, 22 years after her chrismation into the Orthodox Church. William went on to live at Green Spring plantation outside Williamsburg, having inherited the estate from his father-in-law and uncle, Philip Ludwell III.

Ohio Senate, 2005 - 2010
Kathleen Chandler (D-Kent) was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives in 2005 to represent the 68th District and is currently serving her fourth term in the Ohio House. The veteran public servant represents most of Portage County. Rep. Chandler believes in the value of a quality education. She earned both bachelor's and master's degrees from Michigan State University. She then returned to Ohio to earn a Master of Public Administration degree (with a focus on finance and personnel management) from Kent State University.
Chandler served her local community for more than two decades before moving to the Statehouse. She began her career as a Kent City Councilwoman for eight years. Voters in Kent then elected her to be their mayor. She followed up a seven-year stint in that office with six years as a Portage County Commissioner.
While in Columbus, Chandler has crafted legislation to make human trafficking a crime, to require seat belts on new or refurbished school buses, and to provide for DNA testing for inmates who plead "guilty" or "no contest," when DNA evidence was available. She also sponsored legislation to give Ohioans the choice to donate part of their income tax refund to the Ohio Historical Society. In addition she has proposed a task force to investigate health & safety issues concerning children and is looking into permissive legislation for land value taxation.
Rep. Chandler serves on the following House committees:
- Local Government and Public Administration (chair),
- Aging and Disability Services,
- Finance and its Higher Education Subcommittee, and
- Ways and Means.
She is a key contributor to the Local Government Public Notice Task Force, the Legislative Service Commission Civic Education Task Force, the Military Activation Task Force, the PASSPORT Evaluation Committee, the Ohio Department of Aging Advisory Council, and the Task Force on Law Library Associations.
Rep. Chandler remains intensely loyal to her local community. She is a member of many organizations, including the League of Women Voters, the Women's Club, the University Women of Kent State University, the NAACP, the Portage County Democratic Central Committee, the Federated Democratic Women's Club of Portage County, and Leadership Portage County. She has also received numerous certificates of appreciation and honors for her community service and leadership. They include the Ohio Educational Service Center Association Outstanding Leadership Award; Phi Kappa Phi Honorary; Kappa Delta Pi Honorary; Phi Beta Delta International Scholars Honorary; and the Distinguished Leadership in Elective Office honor from the Leadership Academy Alumni Association at Cleveland State University. The city of Kent also gave Chandler a key to the city for her dedication as mayor and council member.

Tyus Battle rising into first round in latest NBA mock drafts
If this holds true, it would seem likely he's headed to the pros.
By John Cassillo@JohnCassillo Apr 27, 2018, 11:29am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Tyus Battle rising into first round in latest NBA mock drafts
Steven Branscombe-USA TODAY Sports
With all of the noise around the NFL Draft this week, you'd be forgiven for not seeing much on the NBA Draft, which comes in June.
However, recent mock draft updates have been released, and Syracuse Orange guard Tyus Battle appears to be rising in most of them.
The Athletic has him as a first-rounder, going to the Portland Trail Blazers at No. 24. Sam Vecenie had this to say about the potential pick:
"Portland has a tough offseason ahead of it. But one position they absolutely have to address is the wing, where the team really just doesn't have enough talent. Battle would fit well as a shot-maker with size who could play next to both C.J. McCollum and Damian Lillard in a variety of lineups. There's some question about Battle's passing ability and defense, but he was solid in both of these respects in a different scenario in high school. It's possible his upside there is a bit better than expected."
That "question about defense" is based on little more than prevailing lazy narratives about the 2-3 zone, but no matter. Battle still gets first round love here, even if the zone gets slandered (quietly) once again.
In ESPN's most recent projections, he goes 29th to the Brooklyn Nets. Jonathan Givony was the first mock to boost Battle into the first, putting him there before he even declared.
CBS Sports has also come around to Battle as a first-rounder, assigning him to the Atlanta Hawks at 30th overall. They explain:
"A long and athletic wing, Battle played more minutes than any other player in college basketball last season. His efficiency suffered because of it, but that should not take away the fact he averaged nearly 20 points for a team that made the NCAA Tournament. His 32 percent 3-point shooting should be offset by his 84 percent free-throw shooting."
Elsewhere, Battle has projections to go 32nd to the Memphis Grizzlies (Basketball Insiders) and 47th to the Los Angeles Lakers (Sports Illustrated).
One would have to think that if the first round projections keep coming, Battle likely elects to sign with an agent and go pro. He may want/need a first round guarantee, of course. But if he's starting to be seen as a talent around the top 20/25 range, that should probably come soon enough. We'll see if he waits until after the NBA scouting combine to do that, or just elects to commit to the jump once chatter has him more locked-in as a first.
