What Is A Media Lab?
situated practices in media studies
An Interview with Stefan Höltgen of the Signal Lab
Nostalgia is a very important "first trigger" for re-using old/dead/vintage hardware and software. But […] nostalgia isn't really the energy for [users'] engagement because you can't use an "old medium": the moment you turn it on it is totally present/in presence.
Stefan Höltgen runs the Signal Lab in Berlin as well as the Media Archaeological Fundus, founded by Wolfgang Ernst who is chair of Media Theory at the Humboldt University of Berlin.
Can you start by telling us a bit about the Signal Laboratory – how did it start and what is the main function of the Lab? How does it relate to the Media Archaeological Fundus?
SH: The Signal Laboratory (SL) was founded 2003 as a lab for studying media hardware and their signals by opening them and measuring frequencies, sound outputs, and voltages. When I joined the Center for Musicology and Media Studies in 2011 I began to collect vintage computer hardware, peripherals, and software for my research project ("on the archaeology of the early microcomputer and its programming") and as examples for my teaching lessons about hardware, programming and computer history. The SL soon became a place where my colleagues and I repaired and restored those old machines to learn about their functioning. That is the main difference from the Fundus, where media archaeological artifacts are collected and restored to function in principle which means: to show how their technology work(ed).The intersection between the SL and the Fundus is the question we both ask: How do those technologies relate to their history and their presence when you don't look at them as economical, techno-historical, or social (e.g. the effects on the user, the society …) gadgets but as "signal processing" media – where the media in the SL are mostly produce programmable digitally coded signals and those of the Fundus are of both sorts: analogue and digital – but not programmable.
Following the boom concerning "Media Labs" (at MIT and then other places too) in the 1980s, we are now building more and more Humanities Labs – some connected to Digital Humanities, some to Design, some to other sorts of Humanities spaces and activities. How does the Signal Lab relate to the broader theme of labs in contemporary humanities that are being faced with the technological (as Kittler has noted)?
SH: There are no actual research connections to those kinds of labs. But when we come to the point of the SL as a teaching space I think we are doing basic work for people who want to work in those technologically "infected" humanities labs: We are teaching electronics, programming, and topics of the informatics/computer sciences from the viewpoint of media theory. So our students won't become proper programmers but merely hackers that are able to estimate the technological connections between the medium (especially electronic computer) and its user.
A more specific connection lies with technological practices – critical design, DIY, the maker movement and more. Furthermore, the existence of "Fablabs" has gathered momentum over the past years in different contexts. What are the specific connections and disconnections to such labs that also engage with a "making", hands-on approach to technology, but seem to be built on different premises (not least, around much talked about kits like 3D printers, laser cutters, and various other sorts of technologies)?
SH: The most obvious disconnection is our theoretical approach to media technology. All our practical work is based on questions about the epistemology of media and media culture. That includes a special methodology: media archaeology (for the Fundus) and computer archaeology (for the SL). With this our "making" is a kind of "critical history": when we connect a new device (like a flash card memory) to an old computer (like the C64) we do this not only to run our own "homebrew" software on real hardware but to confront and "glue" slices of media history together to see what will happen, why this is happening and if the (historical) differences of those hardwares are really so significant as the media history tries to tell us.

You are actively engaged in the retro computing scene as well – how does this feed back to the thinking of the Signal Lab? Furthermore, one could speculate that media archaeology – with its emphasis on the value of "old" media, sometimes even coined dead – is also sometimes at risk of being conflated with a nostalgic discourse and practices; what is your response to such accusations that the practices promoted under the guise of media archaeology risk being nostalgic?
SH: Nostalgia is a very important "first trigger" for re-using old/dead/vintage hardware and software. But most of those users would withdraw their activities when the feeling of nostalgia disappears. We tell those users that nostalgia isn't really the energy for their engagement because you can't use an "old medium": the moment you turn it on it is totally present/in presence. Even if you use your C64 with its old floppy drive and old games you are playing those games now and you are bringing it to function now. So the term "retro" isn't just a badge for "vintage culture" but a figure of time for the "short cut" between the past and the present. Perhaps nostalgia is the Freudian (un)canny feeling of this short cut – that you are never be able to return to the past but to resume past activities with present knowledge, culture, and technology.
It is with this meaning of "retro" in mind that I opened the SL in 2012 (when we moved to our new location) for colleagues, students and people from out of the university: there are quarterly hosted "Game Circuits" which provide "operational game studies" that share a view on new games for old computers and vice versa. And there is a weekly "Signals & Noises" workshop at the SL that provides a "retro hacker space" where you can learn assembly language for old computers with new cross platform development methods, solder or repair your own electronic gadgets or talk to other retro computer enthusiasts. In 2014 we founded a "Vintage Computing Festival Berlin" (that differs from the well known "Vintage Computer Festivals" all over the world by changing "computer" with the gerund "computing" to stress on the actual activity) in our department.

Ford Motor Company's new front-wheel-drive unibody platform is a highly-scalable vehicle architecture designed to underpin front-drive vehicles of various types and sizes. As of March 2018, it does not have an official name.
The first vehicle to have launched on the architecture is the all-new, fourth-generation Ford Focus (2019 model year and newer).
The new Ford front-wheel-drive scalable unibody architecture features increased use of lightweight ultra high-strength steel as well as boron steel. Ford instance, the all-new 2019 Ford Focus featured 33 percent of such steels, compared to 11 percent in the outgoing model based on the global Ford C platform.
One of the primary purposes of the new Ford scalable front-drive architecture is to drive scale economies even further by sharing parts with vehicles bad on the platform. The platform will share a plethora of parts sharing technologies, including suspension structures, seat structures, electric parking brakes, air conditioning units, transmissions, electrical systems, infotainment screens and systems, connectivity modems, and more.
The idea behind the platform is similar to Volkswagen Group's highly-scalable MQB architecture, which supports transverse-engined, front-drive cars of all shapes and sizes. For that reason, Ford's platform is sometimes referred to as Ford's MQB.


Since 2009, the USAID Health Care Improvement Project (HCI) has applied improvement approaches to ensure the availability and use of family planning (FP) counseling and services where they are most needed. HCI has given a special focus to closing the gap in obtaining family planning services for post-partum women and HIV-positive clients—two groups whose family planning needs are often neglected. This short report describes how HCI has applied modern improvement in selected districts in Afghanistan, Mali, Nicaragua and Uganda to engage health providers at maternal health services (Afghanistan, Mali, and Nicaragua) and at HIV services (Uganda) to analyze the existing processes of service delivery to identify barriers to FP service provision.

Pink Bollworm infestation in cotton crop drops, now in 20 villages instead of 700
Senior agriculture officials said the infestation has crossed the economic threshold limit in only 20 villages in September, against initial estimates in August of 700 villages.

Only 20 villages in Maharashtra have been severely affected by the outbreak of pink bollworm (PBW) in cotton crop. The pink bollworm is an insect known for being a pest in cotton farming.
An economic threshold limit is a parameter used to assess the outbreak of the pest. It is the insect's population level or extent of crop damage at which the value of the crop destroyed exceeds the cost of controlling the pest. The crossing of the threshold means that a sizable amount of the crop may be lost to the pest.
Cotton is generally sown in 21,000 villages in Maharashtra. This year, 39.7 lakh hectares of area have been brought under the cotton cultivation, compared to 41.1 lakh last year.
"This limit was crossed in 700 villages, which are mainly from Marathwada, Vidarbha and north Maharashtra regions. The department had set up district-level committees comprising local officials to check the infestation," said an official. The infestation has now come down to 20 villages.
This year, pest attacks has been reported from Akola, Washim, Nanded, Parbhani and Jalgaon. Last year, PBW had created havoc on the cotton crop, after which the state government had announced compensation for affected farmers.
The PBW insect chews through the cotton lint to feed on seeds, with the infestation starting at the bud development stage. Flowering is affected and yield is hit. This year, the commissinoerate has claimed that just 5 per cent of the crop has been affected.
Pheromone traps are used to trap male insects to understand the nature of infestation. If 8-10 male insects are trapped per day, then usage of pesticide is recommended.
This year, cotton cultivation has been done on at least 37 lakh hectares of land in the state, as compared to 41 lakh hectares last year, senior officials said.
The plants are sown from April to July in the state. Farmers who generally opt for pre-seasonal (during April-May) plantation have shifted to other crops, which has brought down the overall cotton plantation figures in the state by 3-4 lakh hectares.

Topic interviews
Léalo en español
Dr. Judith Boshe (kibosho, Moshi, Tanzania) completed her degree in Medicine at Muhimbili National Hospital, in Dar Es Salaam, the main commercial city of Tanzania. After working on Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related research in the south of Tanzania (Kagera) for several years, she specialized in Psychiatry in Cape Town, South Africa, with a grant from Duke University.
She is currently working in her native town of Moshi, in Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC), referral hospital for the 15 million people in the north of Tanzania, being the sole available psychiatrist over there.
Dr. Boshe belongs to the team of professionals performing evaluation, diagnosis and treatment for the most of cognitive impairment patients in that large geographic area, and is enthusiastic for the recognition of this Public Health problem. We thank her very much for giving us this interview for our readers.
Circunvalación del Hipocampo: Do you think cognitive impairment is a prevalent condition in Tanzanian population?
Dr. Boshe: It is relly hard to say for sure since there is limited literature on the subject. But at a personal level I do think it's a condition that is of significant incidence and a public health concern. My response is based on what I personally observe in the community I live in and the patients I attend to. It is however difficult to share exact national prevalence due to absence of national representative data or study. Existing regional studies such as that done by Paddick et al looking at the prevalence in rural Hai district, assist in demonstrating that the problem is of significant prevalence. This study helps to recognize that the problem exists at a significant magnitude, but the characteristics of Hai district are not nationally representative.
There are regional differences. We know that the most common neurodegenerative disease producing cognitive impairment is probably Alzheimer, but in areas like Moshi I have observed that I come across alcohol related cognitive impairment more often than other forms of cognitive impairment. It is also safe to say that the regional differences in HIV infections will also influence the provenance of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders, another etiology of cognitive impairment in our setting that is still a problem despite good access to Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART).
Circunvalación del Hipocampo: In which setting do you usually diagnose cognitive impairment?
Dr. Boshe: Both outpatient and inpatient. In outpatient it is usually more direct, referred for that reason. In inpatient, it tends to be a more incidental finding. Elderly patients presenting with fluctuating confusion, aggression and agitation will often be experiencing delirium superimposed on an undiagnosed cognitive impairment.
Circunvalación del Hipocampo: What are the main barriers you encounter to provide a diagnosis of cognitive impairment or dementia in your hospital?
Dr. Boshe: The barrier is at taking the history of progression of symptoms, then you find that the family did not identify the symptoms and hence they are not able to give comprehensive account of their progression. At the moment of presentation often the symptoms are very advanced, and there is little you can do in terms of altering the rate of progression of the disease or to improve the quality of life of patient and care-givers. Another barrier is that at the moment of doing a cognitive assessment most of the tools are from foreign countries and they are not adapted, nor validated in Tanzanian population.
Even the ones that are validated like Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and Mini-Mental, they still have phrases that are not relatable to the local population. And then, there is the issue of investigations, more than two thirds of the population do not have insurance and they are not able to afford imaging, or even blood tests like vitamin B12, folate, which does not allow to screen for treatable and prevalent causes ofcognitive impairment (CI). In conclusion, you have challenges at all steps, at history taking, at examination and complementary tests.
Circunvalación del Hipocampo: What are the most common etiologies you usually encounter in outpatients?
Dr. Boshe: In the infectious field, HIV-related CI is common. In metabolic, alcohol chronic use produces CI frequently, also small vessel disease related to poorly controlled diabetes and hypertension. Neurodegenerative, Alzheimer's and dementia due to Parkinson's disease. Possibly there is more out there but this is what I see in my clinical settings.
Circunvalación del Hipocampo: Which tests or questionnaires do you usually use in your daily practice?
Dr. Boshe: I use the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders (DSM-V) criteria and I complement with cognitive tests that I modify a lot taking into account the presentation and the level of education, and also complementary tests.
Circunvalación del Hipocampo: Which cognitive tests?
Dr. Boshe: Most common are Mini-Mental and MOCA, but I usually take only parts, and complement them with specific tests depending on presentation, like Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) and specific for temporal, parietal or occipital lobe... And International HIV Dementia Scale (IHDS) for HIV patients.
Circunvalación del Hipocampo: What would a suitable Tanzanian-friendly cognitive assessment look alike?
Dr. Boshe: It would be in the national language Swahili and it would have nouns and pictures that are familiar to our setting.
Circunvalación del Hipocampo: How does the low average income and low access to medical insurance affect the patients living with cognitive impairment?
Dr. Boshe: It affects the time they present, already very confused and not able to attend to themselves. Even presenting later, it affects that they are not able to afford the management they need by that time, pharmacological approach for behavioral symptoms, care giver 24h, supplies like diapers, etc. Even if they can benefit from anticholinesterasic drugs, they are usually not able to afford them.
Circunvalación del Hipocampo: How is usually diagnosis accepted by patients and family?
Dr. Boshe: It is not easily accepted. The expectation is that if there is a diagnosis identified by a doctor, then the next step would be a treatment that bring the patient back to his usual condition. In other cases, family or patients would not understand that it is an illness, this is more common for those that are found to have CI incidentally rather than the ones referred for this.
Circunvalación del Hipocampo: Are there specific characteristics of the local culture that makes it easier or more difficult to adapt and live with a diagnosis of dementia?
Dr. Boshe: It is true that I have not trained in Swahili, but sometimes limitations of the language contribute to make it difficult to explain it. Is there a word to say dementia in Swahili? The link between language and culture makes it more difficult to cope with the illness. Also words that are well known internationally as Alzheimer would not be familiar to most Tanzanians because people have other explanations for the phenomenon. In a way, our culture is also protective. In our communities, there are extended families. The elder is respected and never questioned. If the person gets cognitive difficulties, others will help to take care of that person.
Thus, the cohesion in the community help care delivery. Furthermore, the fact that the elder is respected is therapeutic in a way; as they are not directly confronted, people would find a way to rectify the error that is not psychologically harmful. When an elder starts to talk about things that he lived in the past, the family will not dismiss that but it will be embraced and enhanced. This is called in the Western world "reminiscence therapy" and people would pay a psychologist for it, and that comes very natural in our culture.
And then orientation is also enhanced by the fact that our culture has a strong routine, most daily activities are carried out like clockwork and happen in a predictable way. Finally, the fact that it is understood as a normal way of aging also supports a natural support of the process by other members of the community.

Q: Transfer of UTM tags from Google ads to the android application The install referrer library is installed in my application. Through it, I get where the user came from, respectively.
I want to receive the static parameter utm_source = alexander if the user has installed the application by advertising launched in Google Ads UAC.
I try to set the final url suffix at the account setup level - "referrer = utm_source% 3Dalexander".
But I get "utm_source = (not set)" instead of the given parameter.
But if I go directly to the link "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=...&referrer=utm_source%3DAlexander", then everything works as it should and in the statistics I see - "utm_source = Alexander ".
Can you please tell me how you can configure Google UAC correctly so that the static parameter specified in advance is passed to the application?
P.S. Auto-tagging is disabled at the account level in the settings

Hello there! I hope you're having a wonderful and safe holiday!
Today's card is a quick and easy one using the Warp Speed stencil from Altenew and the Celebrate die from My Favorite Things.
I started by using a foam blending tool to blend Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink over the stencil and onto an A2-sized piece of Neenah Solar White #80 Classic Crest cardstock. Then I cleaned the stencil, rotated it a bit, and blended on Candied Apple.
I die cut the sentiment three times out of scrap white Recollections cardstock and once out of Bristol Smooth cardstock. On the Bristol Smooth die cut, I blended on the same colors to create a striped effect. I glued all four die cuts together, with the inked die cut on top, to create a chipboard-like embellishment.
I adhered the sentiment onto the background, bending it slightly into an arc before I weighed it down with an acrylic block to hold it in place while the glue dried. To finish, I adhered the card front to an A2-sized card base.
Beautiful card. I tried to read the rest of your post from my email and it popped up suspicious link…do you know why that would happen??? So I came to word press to read your post. Thank you for sharing.
Haha. The internet varies have been hard at work messing up everything lately.

DNA barcoding of the spider crab Menaethius monoceros (Latreille, 1825) from the Red Sea, Egypt
Mohamed Abdelnaser Amer ORCID: orcid.org/0000-0003-0448-46311
Most spider crab species inhabiting the Red Sea have not been characterized genetically, in addition to the variation and complexity of morphological identification of some cryptic species. The present study was conducted to verify the identification of two morphotypes of the spider crab Menaethius monoceros (Latreille, 1825) in the family Epialtidae Macleay, 1838, collected from the Red Sea, Egypt. DNA barcoding of two mitochondrial markers, cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and 16S, was used successfully to differentiate between these morphotypes.
DNA barcoding and genetic analyses combined with morphological identification showed that the two morphotypes were clustered together with low genetic distances ranged from 1.1 to 1.7% COI and from 0.0 to 0.06% 16S. Hence, this morphological variation is considered as individual variation within the same species.
The present study successively revealed that genetic analyses are important to confirm the spider crab's identification in case of morphological overlapping and accelerate the accurate identification of small-sized crab species. Also, DNA barcoding for spider crabs is important for better future evaluation and status records along the Red Sea coast.
The horny spider crab genus Menathius H. Milne Edwards, 1834 (Epialtidae Macleay, 1838) contains only two species: Menaethius monoceros (Latreille,1825) and Menaethius oriantalis (Sakai, 1969) [1,2,3]. They are common in the Indo-West Pacific extending from the Red Sea, Eastern Africa, and the Indian Ocean to Japan in the Pacific Ocean [1]. Recently, M. monoceros had its distribution extended and was recorded from the Mediterranean Sea by [4]. These species are known to inhabit weedy intertidal rocks in shallow waters [1, 2, 5, 6]. This genus can be distinguished by the following morphological characters: the presence of two small lobes or tubercles on the branchial margins, a small post-orbital lobe, propodi of the first walking leg is smooth ventrally, and with sexes similar in form. It is easy to differentiate M. monoceros from M. oriantalis by the presence of a slender rostrum, basally narrow; the dorsal branchial region has tubercles or rounded elevation; and walking legs are not carinate in M. monoceros. On the other hand, carinate walking legs are present in M. orientalis [1]. However, this genus has a geographical variation, as many authors have described several species which synonymized under M. monoceros [2] and listed by [7] treated in the list of Griffin and Tranter as synonyms [1].
Majidae is considered as a diverse group within brachyuran crabs, containing over 800 species, and was recently transferred to the superfamily Majoidea Samouelle, 1819 [3, 8,9,10]. Despite the revision of the majoid crabs by many authors [1,2,3, 11,12,13,14] throughout the Indo-West Pacific region and the list of [15] from the Arabian Gulf, some genera and species still have taxonomic confusion, and many workers have difficulty in identification using the keys within subfamilies to recognize the genera and species.
The eastern Egyptian coast of the Red Sea includes the eastern and western coasts of the Suez Gulf and the western Aqaba Gulf coast, with a total length of about 1300 km [16]. The Suez Gulf is considered as the boundary between Asia and Africa having an important role in the faunal migration between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea [17] via the Suez Canal. The coasts of the Red Sea are represented by several habitats: soft, rocky, and coral reef habitats. These different habitats comprise suitable substrates as refuges and preferable habitats for different marine invertebrates.
The crabs of the Red Sea were listed and reviewed by [18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25]. Other later workers reviewed the majoids [11] and listed 32 species, as well as accounts of Red Sea majoids by [1, 26] who listed 46 spider crab species within Majoidea including 12 species in the family Epialtidae: Acanthonyx elongatus Miers, 1877; A. dentatus H. Milne Edwards, 1834; Huenia heraldica (De Haan, 1837) [= Maja (Huenia) proteus De Haan, 1839]; Menaethiops contiguicornis (Klunzinger, 1906); M. dubius Balss, 1929; M. ninii Guinot, 1962; M. nodulosus (Nobili, 1905); Menaethius monoceros (Latreille, 1825); Perinia tumida Dana, 1851; Simocarcinus pyramidatus (Heller, 1861); S. simplex (Dana, 1852); and Xenocarcinus tuberculatus White, 1847.
The recent revisions of brachyuran crabs depending only on morphological descriptions have many issues [27, 28]. And therefore, the use of DNA barcoding can help accelerate the identification of confused and even cryptic species [27, 29]. Molecular phylogenetics is a valuable tool to study the morphological evolution of decapod crustaceans, which may reflect their behaviors and distributions [27, 30,31,32,33].
Furthermore, using mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene in molecular studies in crustacean's taxonomy is useful for species delimitation [29, 34]. Besides COI, the 16S rRNA gene is commonly used in constructing animal phylogeny because of the combination of the variable and conserved region with the same gene [30]. Also, the sequence lengths obtained with these two markers are in the range of sequences available in the GenBank database. With this in mind, the present study applied the DNA barcoding information of the spider crab M. monoceros exclusively from the Red Sea, Egypt, and successfully used phylogenetic analyses to confirm two possible morphotypes.
A total of 20 specimens examined in the present study were collected from several locations across Red Sea Egyptian coasts: Hurghada (Marine Biology Station), Marsa Gabal El-Rosass, South Hammata, 9km north Marsa Alam, and south Bernis. Specimens were obtained attached to small weedy rocks in the shallow intertidal region.
The morphological identification followed [1, 35] and the key of Griffin and Tranter [2].
DNA analyses
DNA was extracted from pieces of walking leg tissue for each crab specimen using a Qiagen DNA extraction kit (Germany); the final observed DNA concentrations with Nanodrop measuring machine were 19.2–27.7 ng μl. PCR amplification of 16S and COI markers was performed with 20-μl PCR cocktail volumes using 40 cycles (20μl) of 94°C for 40 s (denaturation), 48°C for 70 s (annealing), and 72°C for 90 s (extension), run on a PCR thermal cycler. PCR products were observed on 1.5 % agarose gels. Subsequently, purification of the formed single-band PCR products was done using a mixture of shrimp alkaline phosphate (SAP) and exonuclease (EXO1) protocol (37° C for 20 min followed by 83°C for 30 min.). Sequences were obtained by sending the cleaned PCR products to FASMAC (Yokohama, Japan). The acquired sequences were assembled using Bioedit and aligned and analyzed using the Mega 7 program [36]. The evolutionary history was inferred using the neighbor-joining method [37]. The evolutionary distances were computed for CO1 sequences using the Tamura 3-parameter method [38] while for 16S sequences using the Kimura 2-parameter method [39]. All accession numbers of the sequences used in genetic analyses are listed in Table 1. COI and 16S genes were amplified using universal primer sets following [40, 41], respectively.

Table 2 Morphometric measurements for the examined materials of M. monoceros, Red Sea, Egypt
Despite the similarity between sexes in some characters for the genus Menaethius described by [2] and the agreement for some characters described by [35] especially in the rostrum (slender or some time bifurcated) which were similar to the present all specimens, there were two differences between the present specimens. We observed two morphotypes. The first morphotype consisted of two specimens (CL, 5.6 and 6.9) with slightly bifurcated rostrum in appearance and obtuse lobes or tubercles in the branchial margins versus the other morphotype (CL, 13.4 and 14.1) which had a rounded tip of the rostrum and obvious lobes or tubercles on the branchial margins. On the other hand, the comparison of all descriptions of synonymized names for M. monoceros includes a variety of morphological differences. Moreover, there is a variation in the morphology of this species across its geographical distribution [2], in addition to slight differences observed between two populations examined by [6] from two localities at the northern Red Sea. In addition, there has been a variation reported in carapace tuberculation in different sites (Figs. 1 and 2). All of these previous reasons make it difficult to accurately identify the morphotype of the present specimens, making DNA analyses important to reach a precise identification.

Molecular results
The genetic analyses of the two markers used, 16S and COI (Figs. 3 and 4 and Tables 3 and 4), revealed that the two closely related morphotypes of M. monoceros showed slight genetic differences. The COI neighbor-joining tree separated the two morphotypes, but the genetic differences were only 1.1 to 1.7% (Table 3). As shown in Table 4, the genetic distance for 16S sequences between the two morphotypes was negligible, ranging from 0.0 to 0.6%. These results indicate that the genetic differences are not enough to separate these morphotypes into different species based on a cutoff OTU threshold of 97% [42], and thus, I consider this variation as individual variation within the same species.

Life coloration
Larger specimens have a gray color on the legs and branchial regions with light orange color on the hepatic and cardiac prominence, but the smaller specimens are white to creamy all over the carapace and legs.
Red Sea, throughout the Indo-West Pacific from South Africa to Japan, Australia, and Tahiti, recently recorded from the Mediterranean Sea.
Two or more species imprecisely classified or distinguished morphologically under one species name usually called cryptic species [43]. Moreover, the great diversity among the Indo-West Pacific fauna of majoid crabs was treated morphologically by [1, 2]. Despite the provided key by Grifin and Tranter, many problems still face many workers in the identification of majoid crabs, and as such, this confusion has caught the attention of many workers [12,13,14].
The genus Menaethius has a variation in characters described by [35] in between its only two species (M. monoceros and M. oriantalis). The dorsal surface of carapace is mounted with a variable number of tubercles on the gastric and cardiac regions, the male pseudorostrum is usually relatively longer than females, and the tip is somewhat rounded and sometimes bifurcated. The branchial margins often have two teeth and sometimes with numerous tubercles. Some variation of the previous characters was also observed in the present studied specimens (Figs. 1 and 2) which leads to doubtful morphological identification and needs confirmation with genetic analyses.
It is known that delimitation of single species for discovering new species is a modern topic of discussion in systematics [44]. Thus, DNA barcoding for animal species is considered as a somewhat new and important taxonomic tool [45]. Moreover, DNA barcoding can speed the morphological identification of described species [28]. The present study investigated four specimens resembling the original description with variation in some characters and appearance of two morphotypes. Molecular analyses showed that the genetic distance difference between them ranged from 0.6 to 1.7% (Tables 3 and 4), which is low and not enough to separate them into different species. However, the genetic differences in the distance between the present studied specimen's sequences from those from Shimoda, Japan (EU682804, EU682856), obtained from GenBank ranged between 1.4 and 2.1%, for 16S marker and between 1.42 and 4.8% in COI. These larger differences may be attributed to the geographical variation between both populations (Red Sea versus Pacific). Finally, DNA barcoding proved to increase the identification speed of small crab species, and thus, we consider it has a potential to be an important tool combined with morphology in taxonomic studies.
Most small-sized crab species inhabiting the Red Sea and associated with seaweeds are difficult to identify morphologically, and thus, the present study used two DNA markers to confirm the identity of two morphotypes of the spider crab Menaethius monoceros. DNA barcoding and phylogeny revealed that there was a variation within the same species. Also, the present study provides baseline DNA data for one species inhabiting the Red Sea, which has recently been reported as migrated to the Mediterranean Sea. Our data will be important in further future investigations.
The datasets used and analyzed during the current study are presented in the article and additional genetic data (sequences) available and deposited in the GenBank with an accession number.

After witnessing friends and relatives face tragedy as they become addicted to prescription drugs, Bell sets out to explore the goals of pharmaceutical companies and doctors in this ever-growing market, and asks how they are any different from back-alley drug-pushers. His journey leads to experts on the nature of addiction in our culture, as well as to pharmaceutical whistleblowers that testify to the solely dollar-driven aims of pharmaceutical companies.
Recovery Boys
In the heart of America's opioid epidemic, four men attempt to reinvent their lives and reenter society sober after years of drug abuse. Recovery Boys, from director Elaine McMillion Sheldon, is an intimate look at the strength, brotherhood, and courage that it takes to overcome addiction and lays bare the internal conflict of recovery and the external hurdles of an unforgiving society.

University of Cyprus
4.2 out of 5 (87 ratings / 70 reviews) Nicosia, Cyprus
The University of Cyprus aims to become a leading educational and research institution that will distinguish itself internationally through the promotion of scholarship and that will be recognized as a centre of excellence in the Mediterranean region. The main objectives of the University are twofold: the promotion of scholarship and education.
#477 Ranking
2 Bachelors
B.A. English Language and Literature
B.A. Turkish Studies
The University of Cyprus was established in 1989 and admitted its first students in 1992. It was founded in response to the growing intellectual needs of the Cypriot people, and is well placed to fulfil the numerous aspirations of the country.
University of Cyprus aims to establish itself as a Pioneer Research Institution achieving International Scientific Recognition in European Higher Education, offering Competitive Programmes and to become a Centre of Excellence in the wider Euro - Mediterranean Region.The main objectives of the University are twofold: the promotion of scholarship and education through teaching and research, and the enhancement of the cultural, social and economic development of Cyprus.In this context, the University believes that education must provide more than simply accumulation of knowledge.
The impact of scholarly research on society is complex and multidimensional. Some aspects are directly quantifiable, for example, the number of doctoral titles awarded in an academic year and in which disciplines, others, such as the impact of basic research, are very abstract. The need to couple basic with applied research is nowwidely recognized, as the knowledge acquired through basic research can -and should- be utilized for the solution of real life problems that concern society. In most areas the dividing line between basic and applied research is not clear, and this distinction becomes even more obvious as the problems under consideration become more complex and multidimensional.
The Office aims at enhancing the professional skills and competences of students and graduates. The connection with the labour market is mainly achieved through the organization of presentations for employment prospects in a variety of business disciplines, a Business Game competition and a Career Fair, with more than 70 potential employers involved. The Career Office is the link between students and graduates with the labour market and the postgraduate studies.

The university offered very interesting courses. I specialize in Linguistics. Personally, I believe that the department gave me the opportunity to learn many interesting things related to English and other languages as well.
Good but not enough..
Most degrees at the University are in Greek. I would prefer an English stream course. Overall, the quality of the study is ok but I am not fully satisfied with what I have gained from this degree.

Challenges to ACA and mental health for young people
Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2020
Sorry, your browser does not support iframes.
The U.S. Supreme Court hears a challenge to the Affordable Care Act and the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of young people. Ted Simons talked about both issues with Dr. Swapna Reddy of ASU's College of Health Solutions.
"It sounded pretty promising for the Affordable Care Act," Reddy said. "What we saw, at least from Justice Roberts and Justice Kavanaugh, really a predilection to maintaining the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act."
In 2012, the ACA's individual mandate was seen as a "foundational lynchpin", said Reddy. However, even without the tax penalty, people still depend on the ACA, the court found, leading Reddy to believe the legislation will stand.
Mental health for young people
"Arizona ranks among the worst in the country for access to mental health care providers in every single county," said Reddy, who describes a "parallel pandemic" in mental health affecting young adults.
The Center for Disease Control recently released a study noting that 30% of 18-24-year-olds experienced feelings of suicidal ideation in the past month. Adjusting to the uncertainty of the future, a staggering job market, and isolation
Relly called the situation for college-age students "a disturbing pattern of depression and anxiety." The uncertainty of the future, a staggering job market, and isolation from holiday events all come into play, said Reddy.
According to Reddy, emergency rooms saw a 30% increase in school-age admissions, particularly among adolescents, for depression and anxiety-related cases. With in-person schooling coming into question for kids, kids will be missing out on social-enrichment, development, and guidance opportunities from classmates and trained professionals.

Ready to Bloom gets listed on THE OCMX™
Aug 11, 2021 | Finance
The OCMX™ is pleased to announce the listing of Ready to Bloom to its online portal which offers Investors and Advisors the ability to learn more about this exciting opportunity.
NEW YORK, NY, August 11, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ — Ready to Bloom is the first video e-commerce farm-direct marketplace disrupting the $48BN floral industry. We empower flower growers to make a profit on the thousands of stems of overstock flowers that they would normally discard and take huge financial loss on. Selling these flowers via our marketplace enables small flower growers to survive and thrive, and it helps larger flower farmers control huge amounts of eco-waste.
Through our video-forward marketplace, consumers get to know flower growers on a highly visual and personal level. Consumers can support local farmers directly rather than going through an intermediary grocery store or florist, and they finally have access to luxury Instagram-quality flowers delivered right from the field to their door at great prices.
The OCMX™ has spent considerable time completing its due diligence on Ready to Bloom and concluded that there is indeed a tremendous potential for this opportunity.
The OCMX™ noted that Ready to Bloom exhibits the main components of any solid opportunity, namely a solid management team, a great track record, and a number of key competitive advantages.
There is a tremendous amount of waste in the floral industry with over 50% of all flowers grown never being sold. We have exclusive access to real-time flower availability data for over 300 farms around the world. Through our Ready to Bloom marketplace, we are able to help those farms sell overstock flowers by featuring their stories and product on our site and on social media.
We are able to introduce people to all new flowers and varietals they've never seen before and tell the stories behind the stems. We make people fall in love with flowers in a whole new way.
OPPORTUNITY HIGHLIGHTS
• Ready to Bloom is the first video e-commerce farm-direct marketplace disrupting the $48BN floral industry.
• We have exclusive access and personal relationships with farms all over the world who share with us the varietals and quantities of flowers that are overstock.
• Through our platform, farms are able to update quantities available as well as, for the first time ever, set real time pricing by stem, thereby giving customers unprecedented access to unbelievable flowers at the best prices.
• We have an incredible 71% discount on floral shipping rates through the relationships we've developed over the years with floral shippers.
• Ready to Bloom is a discovery-driven platform that uses video. We do this because video is engaging, memorable, and marketable: 85% of millennials reported buying a product after watching a video. With Ready to Bloom, farmers are now influencers, and their stories help consumers fall in love with flowers. Flowers are now seen as entertainment and as a must-have lifestyle purchase.
Where They Are Headed
We are creating for farmers a desperately needed waste-management system and strong way to increase profitability, AND we're tapping into gigantic consumer demand for floral and plant lifestyle aesthetics, currently booming on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. We plan to do for the floral industry what the Food Network did for food – making flowers more covetable and accessible to younger consumers.
We are currently working on a television series with an executive producer who just came off of a Netflix original series, we are publishing books, and are also creating a podcast all about flowers and culture. We envision an exit for our investors that could involve acquisition by a public media company, consumer products company, or a retailer looking to grow their presence with customers embrace floral and plant lifestyles.
Our team collectively has over 60 years of experience within the floral industry and also in digital media production and distribution.
Caroline Strzalka, Co-Founder, CEO – Business development executive, having built digital business for media companies like Sesame Street and Scholastic. She is also a Wharton MBA and former investment banker, has taken technology, media, and consumer companies public as an investment banker with Citibank/Salomon Smith Barney.
Christine Strzalka, Co-Founder, CPO – Christine is a 7-time winner of The Philadelphia Flower Show, the largest indoor flower show in the world and is also an accomplished Teacher, Writer, Host and Media Training Specialist. She holds her Masters in Journalism from New York University.
Frank Biddle, COO – Frank is one of the godfathers of the modern floral industry, being among the first to ship flowers directly from Latin America to the US beginning in the 1980s. He is the President/Founder, Francis Biddle International Floral Distributors. Owner of Sun Vista Flower Farms, Managing Partner at Tradewinds Int'l Floral Logistics and President at California Association of Flower Growers and Shippers.
