From immersed saints to Greek Gods, these are the world's most wonderful underwater sculptures.
13 Mysterious Statues You Can Only See Underwater: There are many natural wonders in the vast oceans. They are also home to some amazing man-made wonders.
Statues throughout the world have been drowned in the oceans for various reasons whether in the form of a memorial, or to offer protection to a delicate marine environment, or simply as art.
These sculptures are now decorated with colored algae and some of the mysterious statues have become tourist destinations in their own right.
This is a 272kg mermaid statue 50m offshore from the property on the island's southwest point.
You'll find her at 15m of depth which is in the easy swimming reach of divers and snorkelers alike.
It brings luck to put a smooch on the Guardian of the Reef – or says Nancy Easterbrook, who drowned merman in the front yard of her Grand Cayman scuba shop, Divetech.
Easterbrook also explained that the same sculptor who made the Guardian prepared a mermaid at Sunset House.
For the magnified experience, Taylor advises the audience to learn scuba dive.
As per his saying, "You want to take a step back and see the whole establishment/installation; The beauty of being a diver and then seeing that, looks like a 3D world.
The credit of the world's largest underwater statue also goes to the Taylor, the mind and chisel behind Ocean Atlas.
The statue of 60 ton signifies the greater need for ocean conservation, which is placed at a site in immediate need of reformation.
It's the place where first Italian diver Dario Gonzatti lost his life scuba diving in 1947. Now, there stands a 2.5m bronze Christ, created by Italian sculptor Guido Galletti.
It's 10m under the surface, popular among freedivers and scuba divers who wish to pay tribute to those who have taken their last breaths in the sea.
Galette's mold produced three figures: The first is mentioned above of Italian Riviera; the second is contained in Grenada, which awarded the Italian team who drowned in the tragic 1961 sinking of M.V. Bianca C passenger ship.
The third one you'll find in John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, 8m deep off Key Largo.
Its GPS coordinates are widely published, making this site one of the most widely viewed water attractions of the planet. Just ask a local with a GoPro (tools used for water diving) and fins.
Started as an initiative to stop illegal fishing practices – such as the use of dynamite and cyanide – which resulted in a destination for underwater pilgrimage.
In 2010, the Virgin Mary and young Jesus' 4-meter tall representation were immersed in the Bien Unido Double Barrier Reef Marine Park off Bohol.
As if now, it's a mystery as to what created the Asian Atlantis. This sequence of sandstone formations off Okinawa, Japan, has too many right angles, terraced structures, pillars, and other features, making it the wonder of Mother Nature.
Yet, the question is, if manmade, how did it end up 5m underwater?
How Easter Island moai – unemotional-face 7m tall monoliths -came to exist can be haunting.
It is not like a single statue underwater. This is not an ancient wonder, but instead, a failed effort by Kevin Costner flick, Rapa-Nui, who is responsible for this face, is now located above the corals for divers to marvel.
The cities of Heracleion and Canopus once protected the entrance of ancient Egypt and during the Trojan War, which may have been connected with such notorious historical figures as King Menelaus of Sparta.
The remains of these ancient cities are found deep underwater allowing many stone statues and sculptures to hold much of their former glory.
These scary underwater statues, some describing stately pharaohs in the classic style of ancient Egyptian, and the ruined temples and residences that once surrounded them were long thought to be made by legend.
Bali has made its own collection of conservation arts, which is slowly and slowly becoming part of greater coral reefs of the area.
This ecological interruption strategy has been applied alongside many Living Sculptures on the banks of Bali, surrounded by reefs, which are there changing constantly and lying in wait to surprise and fascinate divers.
The figures of traditional Balinese are narrowly prepared and are stored in the collections of underwater artworks created from unlikely found objects like bicycles.
These amazing underwater sculptures have been created by several artists to help, support, and create awareness of the struggle of coral reefs to survive among human pollution and destruction.
Port Royal was once known as "the evil city on earth" (its excessive piracy, prostitution, and alcohol consumption).
After the earthquake in 1692, part of Port Royal was immersed. The debris scattered in Kingston Harbor, and presently, the ruins of the city include 13 acres of land in a depth of 40 feet.
The site's archaeological investigation began in 1981, led by the Nautical Archaeology Program of Texas A&M University.
As per historians, these immersed ancient remains are thought to be the Royal Quarters of Cleopatra that was pushed into the sea by earthquakes and tidal waves, 1,600 years ago.
The statues at the ancient site include representations of animals including lions and ancient Egyptian iconography.
This spectacular ancient palace is a source of everything ranging from domestic pottery and tiny personal artifacts to the remnants of giant sphinxes, pillars and towers frozen in time. This place is a pure interest of archaeologists desires to uncover the submerged treasures from Cleopatra's ancient lost palace.
The incredible submerged palace is very well preserved and by this the city of Alexandria is planning to offer tours and its underwater mysterious statues and other ruins.


A new cycling brand that has been operating on the market since 2010. Model collections include all categories of bikes, from children's to downhill. Our bikes are developed with a concentrated emphasis on quality and favorable pricing. Our structural designs and technical specifications are also tailored to satisfy demanding domestic consumers. There are clear and specific distinctions from other conventional brands on the market, such as 20-speed gearshifts, our own shock-absorption system, etc…. The geometry of our frames and choice of components help to make our bikes an instrument for enjoying free time.
The idea to establish a new brand was not a new one, but it needed to undergo an evolution of sorts before it could come into being and acquire solid form. There were a number of issues that needed to be understood, experience to be gained, and the right people to be met. After several years on the market, we can now see that we made the right decision. The emerging generation of bikers have rapidly begun to favour AGang, and the number of AGang bike owners is growing swiftly.
AGang has three levels of design - functional, componential, and form. Our collection is essentially divided into 11 model series. Each series is precisely constructed on the foundations of the specific demands of not only riding properties, but accessories and design of each specific bike as well. Many of the components and parts that we use in the construction of our bikes are of our own design.
What kinds of unique structural designs does AGang offer?
In 2011, AGang introduced its own structural design involving the suspension of the rear wheel for dual-suspension bikes, marked with the Drive Link Pivot® label. It is based on a four-pivot mechanism of our own unique design, in which the rear construction pin is situated over the axis of the wheel. This is historically the first Czech structural design of rear wheel suspension to be resolved in this manner that was also developed entirely in the Czech Republic by engineer Zdeněk Urban.
The Drive Link Pivot® system was also used for the prototype of our downhill special Ninja DH, which was built with the intention of testing the superb characteristics of this type of rear wheel suspension. Ninja DH is, quite literally, the fusion of the latest technologies representing not only AGang, but international component manufacturers as well.
Beginning in 2013, Ninja DH and Ninja DH Team have been produced serially. In their first season, these models earned immense popularity with customers, as well as exceptional results in tests in cycling media in the Czech Republic and abroad!
For the year 2014 we are coming with new platform Patriot, which was developed and tested for past two years and already before coming to the market gained lot of respect from media. System Drive Link Pivot®, new frame with perfect geometry with 140 mm travel and 27.5" wheel size make Patriot the most universal full suspension bike for all generations!
What kinds of bikes does AGang offer?
AGang offers bikes for downhill (Ninja DH), freeride (Ninja), trail/enduro (Patriot), enduro (Cult), miss enduro (Trinity), mtb trail 27.5" (Léon), mtb trail 26" (Gangsta), mtb trail 29" (Gangsta 29), mtb miss trail 26"/27.5" (Nikita), city (Sincity), freestyle bmx (Pimp), freestyle mtb (Exe) and children's bikes (Capo / Angel / Big Boss). We offer bikes designed specifically for men, women, and unisex. Each model series carries a uniform name, and is designated by number according to price category. The higher is the number, the more expensive the model.
Where can I buy or test AGang?
Our distribution network extends across the entire Czech Republic, and around the world.

In the book, The Jesus I Never Knew, Philip Yancey tells about a Jesuit missionary who went to China in the sixteenth century. He took samples of religious art to illustrate the story of Jesus. He discovered that the Chinese loved the pictures of the Virgin Mary holding her child, but were horrified by pictures of the crucifixion. They insisted on worshiping the Virgin Mary rather than the crucified Jesus.
Yancey says we do pretty much the same thing. Go through any stack of Christmas cards, and even the Christian-themed cards have been purged of any reminder of how the story that began in Bethlehem turned out at Calvary.
Over and over throughout his ministry, Jesus said the same things.
Imagine for a moment that you're Mary. You followed your Son's life and ministry with the interest that only a mother has. You saw how he revealed people's hearts. You saw how the light came on as people believed, and then you saw the rejection and the trial.
And then you saw him hanging on the cross.
And so, Simeon's warning has to be part of the Christmas story. We can't just settle for the baby Jesus.
Jesus stepped into our world, knowing that he would divide people.
He knew that when he revealed their hearts, most would reject him, yet he willingly went to the cross for them.
He was pierced so that we could be healed.

"This is the Greatest Thing They've Seen Our Sport Do"
touchfootball.com.au, Touch Football Australia Tuesday, 31 March, 2020 at 4:41 PM
"In our sport's entire 52-year history, there's never been anything like it – people on the sidelines who've been coming to the National Touch League for years, if not decades, crying and passing the message between each other and on to us that this is the greatest thing they've ever seen our sport do."
That was Touch Football Australia (TFA) CEO Jamie O'Connor's reaction to the inclusion of an All Abilities division, for the first time ever, in Touch Football's annual nationals tournament, the Inferno National Touch League (NTL).
At the event in Coffs Harbour earlier this month, seven of the 119 teams competing took part in the brand-new Indomie Noodles All Abilities division, a division that enabled athletes with an intellectual and/or physical impairment to compete along with their family members, carers and friends.
The tournament was genuinely inclusive, in that the All Abilities division wasn't held separate to the remainder of the event. "The All Abilities division was intentionally built into our standard draws, with games played on all the same fields that the Open and Masters athletes played on, officiated by referees who officiated other divisions, and with the Grand Finals played on the stadium field and livestreamed," said O'Connor.
But the best thing about the event, he said, was the support the All Abilities teams received from the broader Touch Football community. "The incredible part was watching the crowd – the length of the tunnel. The tunnel has been a part of our sport for a long time. And watching the tunnel get so long that we had to curve it because the amount of people who wanted to come out and support the athletes in their Grand Final was absolutely extraordinary.
"I was talking to the father of one of the athletes who has been in and around other sport inclusion programs, national swimming, and a whole range of other national sports, and he made the comment to me at the end of the event that this is by far the bets inclusion program in sport, and only hopes that other sports pick up what we're doing because it's now the new benchmark."
That's a benchmark that O'Connor plans to set higher each year. "The All Abilities division will of course now be part and parcel of the NTL event ongoing – it's just one of our divisions. The popularity of it this year will see more teams come, more support thrown at it. It was one of the most inspirational things that our sport has done and I think one of the most critically important we've done in my time. We'll make it even bigger and better next year."

He "tried to turn at the last minute, but clipped a sign post and (then) ran into a concrete barrier," she said.
State College police Sgt. Todd Scholton said the white Dodge Grand Caravan caught fire after it drove off the right side of the road at about 1:55 p.m. Scholton said the vehicle struck a sign on the side of the road, causing the driver to lose control and hit a large overpass sign pole.
Police and witnesses worked together to control the fire until Alpha Fire Company arrived and extinguished it, Scholton said. Alpha firefighters then extricated the man at 2:15 p.m.
"He was reported to have been in cardiac arrest, and had severe head wounds and trauma to the chest," Powers said.
The driver was taken by ambulance to Mount Nittany Medical Center.
Wade Burchell, of Chalfont, said he did not see the crash ahead of him, but stopped moments after it occurred. He said he and other witnesses broke windows and tore down the driver's side door. He said the driver became responsive after initially being unconscious.
Stan Clouser, an Alpha safety officer, said he was grateful for the efforts of witnesses and police to control the fire.
"A lot of credit goes to them for keeping the fire under control and for communicating to us that there was a fire and that the driver was entrapped before we got here," Clouser said.
Alpha had five units on the scene.


GOOD MORNING! Are you a success in life? An Aish teacher (a real estate lawyer by day) was stuck in traffic with the zillionaire tycoon who headed his firm. He asked his boss to critique a class he was giving that night on how one measures success.
After all the stories and examples, the class boiled down to three points: 1) Define success 2) Analyze your life to see how it measures up 3) Make a plan to be successful.
The next day the real estate tycoon comes into the lawyer's office and asks if they can talk. The man relates that he decided to try the exercise. He defined success as "Enough wealth to have whatever I wanted." "I examined my life, listed the cars, the houses, the plane and concluded that I was a success. Then I wadded up the paper, aimed at the waste basket ... and saw the picture of my daughter and stopped. It hit me hard -- how can I say I am a success? I don't have everything I want. I don't have a relationship my daughter! I have been too busy making deals and acquiring possessions to spend time with her."
The tycoon continues, "I moved on to point 3 and decided that the only way to have a relationship was to spend time with her. I immediately called her up. She was surprised to hear from me and asked if everything was OK. I assured her that it was. Then I asked her if she had any plans that weekend because I wanted to fly in to spend time with her. She responded, 'Are you and Mommy getting a divorce?' I assured her that all was good between her mother and me and that I just wanted to enjoy her company. I came in here to thank you."
Another Aish teacher, Marc Firestone (a successful insurance man by day) also recently gave a class on success (it must be that time of year...). After covering the 3 basics points above, he shares the secret to living a Jewishly successful life -- juggling 5 "balls". All of the balls are to bring one closer to the Almighty. Each one requires attention and must be kept in the air. Ignore a ball, things will get out of balance and you might lose control. Each ball must be moved with small, baby steps towards the ultimate goal. Any effort that is not simple and doable will not last; large undertakings will likely get dropped -- and that's not good for the juggler!
WHAT ARE THE 5 BALLS?
1) Body -- eat well, sleep well, exercise ... and get an annual physical. You can't do much with your life if your body isn't well. Rambam said this 1000 years ago. Take a small step for growth and improvement -- walk 20 minutes a day -- or park farther away and walk ... or take the stairs instead of the elevator.
2) Soul -- Rabbi Noah Weinberg taught, "The body gets hungry to teach you that the soul also gets hungry." The soul needs feeding. This includes Torah learning. A Jewish male is supposed to be learning Torah every morning and evening -- even 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes in the evening. One needs thinking time, contemplation time. If you're too busy, the soul never gets spoken to. You need to schedule it. Jewish tradition is to do a daily accounting before going to sleep. Ask yourself, "What am I living for? What did I do towards my goal today? What did I do counter to my goal? What's a more important goal to live for?"
3) Family and Friends -- need real attention. You can't just call a friend on his birthday. Call your mother and father! Mothers like to be called even if you have nothing to say. Just call. Ask what's going on? What do dads enjoy? To give advice. It makes them feel important and respected. Your father has experience and knowledge --ask him for his advice and benefit from it.
4) Career -- Business needs attention. If you are an employee or employer, how can you be better at business? This one ball could take 50+ hours per week, but then you'd be neglecting the other areas of your life. And then you won't be successful. You can't depend on a miracle in business.
5) World Repair -- In Hebrew, Tikun Olom which means taking personal responsibility for the world. In Pirke Avos 2:6 we are taught, "Where there are no men, be a man." If you look out and there's something not getting done, do it! Take on small things like visiting the sick or helping a neighbor and then more small things. If you're not doing something meaningful beyond yourself, you're not going to feel successful.
The parasha, Torah portion, opens with Jacob on his deathbed 17 years after arriving in Egypt. Jacob blesses Joseph's two sons, Manasseh (Menashe) and Ephraim (to this day it is a tradition to bless our sons every Shabbat evening with the blessing, "May the Almighty make you like Ephraim and Manasseh" -- they grew up in the Diaspora amongst foreign influences and still remained devoted to the Torah. The Shabbat evening blessing for girls is "to be like Sarah, Rivka, Rachel and Leah.") He then individually blesses each of his sons. The blessings are prophetic and give reproof, where necessary.
A large retinue from Pharaoh's court accompanies the family to Hebron to bury Jacob in the Ma'arat Hamachpela, the burial cave purchased by Abraham. The Torah portion ends with the death of Joseph and his binding the Israelites to bring his remains with them for burial when they are redeemed from slavery and go to the land of Israel. Thus ends the book of Genesis!
"And Ya'akov (Jacob) called to his sons, and he said, 'Gather together and I will tell you what will befall you in the end of days' " (when the Jewish people will be redeemed from galus, exile) (Genesis 49:1).
What did Ya'akov mean when he used the phrase "Gather together"?
When Ya'akov told his sons to gather together he meant that they should have achdus, unity amongst themselves. Only when there is unity among the descendants of Ya'akov can there be redemption. If there is not yet unity, it is not yet time for redemption.
With this we can understand what Yosef's brothers meant when they said to him later on (Genesis 50:16-7) that before Ya'akov's death he requested that Yosef forgive them. Nowhere in the Torah is it recorded that Ya'akov asked Yosef to forgive his brothers. However, the commentary of the Shaloh tells us that the answer can be seen in our verse where Ya'akov asks the brothers to "Gather together". Ya'akov was asking all of them, including Yosef, for unity and the deep love that comes from unity. Where there is love, there is forgiveness.
This is a crucial issue for our time. People are very different from one another in many ways. However, if all the descendants of Ya'akov realize how important it is to have achdus, this unity will bring about a love that transcends the specific complaints one person has against another.

Schoolboy Q Finally Releases His New Single, And It Was Worth The Wait
Q is back with 'Groovy Tony'
Groovy Q is back. Finally.
Late Monday night, more than two years after the release of his last album, Oxymoron, Schoolboy Q dropped the lead single to his followup, due out later this year. The track, "Groovy Tony," which he first teased over two months ago, brings us Q in classic form: An assertive, inventive flow and aggressive lyrics are backed by a sinister musical backdrop. The result is equal parts grimy and, well, groovy.
In addition to the single, which was produced by Tae Beast, the Top Dawg Ent. rapper delivered the video for the song. Dark, fiery and eery, it matches its sonic counterpart.
An album announcement, hopefully, is on the way.

A: The first thing to understand is that setState is asynchronous (see React.Component#setState). This means that the state of your component does not update immediately after the call to setState.
But setState accepts a callback function where you can put the code that needs the updated state.
this.setState({ ... }, () => {
    // my state is updated here !
});

As pointed out by Amir Saleem, updating the state without using setState is not the right way to do it.
this.state.showCards['open'] = 'active'

should be
this.setState({
    showCards: {
        open: 'active',
        ...this.state.showCards
    }
});

What Research Says about Light Therapy, Goop
by SYMBYX Admin March 1, 2021
We know from experience that an hour in an infrared sauna can make us feel really, really good. But what does research tell us about why—and if—different forms of light therapy really work? More importantly, what are its potential healing applications beyond a high-quality schvitz?
In his lab at the University of Sydney, Daniel Johnstone, PhD, studies the therapeutic uses of light for neurodegenerative disorders. At specific wavelengths and intensities, he tells us, light could be healing for a variety of health conditions, from skin injuries to muscle performance. "Light serves a broadly protective role, meaning it should be effective against a range of conditions," he says. "It's not a curative agent for any particular disease, but many conditions converge on common downstream pathways, such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and inflammation."
Of course, that doesn't mean that marketed light therapy devices or experiences are necessarily efficacious: Intensity and wavelength matter. And most devices haven't been rigorously tested in the context of therapy. More of his thoughts on that below, plus a primer on how light affects us on a cellular level, what studies have suggested so far about its therapeutic benefits, and an overview of his fascinating research.
A Q&A with Daniel Johnstone, PhD, University of Sydney
What type of light is used for therapeutic purposes?
The therapeutic light spectrum ranges from red to near-infrared (600 nanometers to 1,100 nanometers), which is at the end of the visible light spectrum and just into the invisible part of the light spectrum. Certain wavelengths clustered in the high-600-nanometer range have been shown to be particularly effective. These wavelengths have good penetration into tissue: They are long enough that they aren't absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood, and they're short enough that they're not absorbed by water. When you're talking about therapeutic light, both the wavelength and the intensity are very important.
What sort of research has been done using light therapy?
The most robust research has historically been on the use of light for injuries, wound healing, mitigating pain, and dental surgery. Today, there is a lot more clinical activity around the world.
You could pretty much name a health condition and there will be some research on it with light therapy. To name a few, psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression seem to benefit from red light therapy (this is different from light boxes that are used to modulate circadian rhythms for people with seasonal affective disorder, which don't use red light). Light products with red light have been advertised for improving skin and preventing baldness. There is good evidence for the cosmetic applications of light and the rejuvenation of skin at the correct wavelengths.
Research has shown that light can also improve athletic performance and recovery. There's a huge expanding market of personal light devices for these reasons. What we need to understand better are the mechanisms by which light therapy works and how to track the therapeutic efficacy of treatment.
Why is light therapeutically beneficial?
Light acts as a mild stressor on the body in a dose-dependent manner. We always consider stress to be a bad thing, but at low levels, stress can be good for us. It conditions our tissues and stimulates endogenous protective responses that prime us for either existing or future insult.
There are plenty of other examples of things that are beneficial at low doses and damaging at high doses, such as dietary restriction, exercise, phytotoxins in plants, and ischemic conditioning. With light, we see what's called a biphasic dose response. At low levels, there are benefits, and if you ramp it up too high in intensity (as with lasers that ablate tissues), then there is damage.
Light serves a broadly protective role, meaning it should be effective against a range of conditions. It's not a curative agent for any particular disease, but many conditions converge on common downstream pathways, such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and inflammation. By enhancing the resilience of our cells and our tissues with light, we essentially make them better able to cope with insults.
At a molecular level, there are chromophores (entities that absorb light) that change via chemical reactions when exposed to light at particular wavelengths. As a result, various signaling pathways are triggered. For example, the enzyme cytochrome C oxidase, which lives in mitochondria, absorbs therapeutic light wavelengths and causes a redox change that leads to an increase in ATP production and transient bursts in reactive oxygen species, which can be beneficial at low levels.
We're still teasing out what the other downstream effects are. Depending on the context, there could be cell proliferation, a release of growth factors or neurotrophic factors in the brain, stimulation of stem cells, and other mechanisms that help ward off disease.
What is the state of research on light therapy for neurodegenerative conditions?
My lab's focus has been on using light for neurodegenerative conditions. We've used mouse models to show that you can protect against features of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and retinal degeneration with light applied to the head.
The main problem is penetration—for every millimeter of brain tissue you pass through, you lose about 65 percent of light intensity. In mice, we can successfully penetrate the brain with light because they have thin skulls and there isn't much brain tissue to get through. In contrast, a human has a thick skull, hair, and lots of overlying tissue—it's hard to get adequate light to the deeper parts of the human brain affected in conditions such as Parkinson's disease. Yet studies have still shown that there are improvements in clinical signs and quality of life among Parkinson's patients when light is directed at their heads. We're not sure if the light just addresses some of the symptoms of Parkinson's or if it can actually be neuroprotective and stop cells from dying—that would be amazing news. It's hard to determine this information from clinical trials right now.
That's why we've started to look into other ways to deliver light. In collaboration with a group in France, we developed a device that is implanted into the midbrain, which is very close to the regions affected in Parkinson's disease. In animal models, we showed that there were strong reductions in clinical signs of Parkinson's and that the vulnerable cells were protected using this device. The French team is now pursuing clinical trials.
Another idea we're working on is whether light needs to be targeted at the head to get a beneficial effect or whether there are also indirect effects. The best study demonstrating this was back in 1989 in Israel, where the researchers showed that treating just one of an animal's feet with light would induce accelerated healing of wounds on both feet. This suggested there was an indirect effect and possibly a body-wide protective effect of light treatment. We've applied this method, which we call remote photobiomodulation, in the context of neuroprotection. When we shielded the head of a mouse with Parkinson's and treated the whole body, we found that the brain was protected even though it wasn't directly exposed to the light. In a small pilot study that we are currently replicating, we found that treating the abdomen specifically with light showed strong protective effects on the brain. This could be due to how light affects the microbiome of the gut. This concept of treating the body or other accessible tissues in order to protect the brain might help overcome the penetration issues associated with directly treating the head.
There's a group in Tasmania that has been developing homemade helmets with LED strips and showing that people who use them have positive effects on quality of life and reducing cognitive symptoms. Right now, the evidence is somewhat anecdotal and based on survey data, but there are some objective measures showing that even with a fairly low-powered light on the skull, people are showing benefits. Keep in mind that with Parkinson's, there's a huge placebo effect, and you can't write that off as a possibility. But most people are being followed up over several years, and these beneficial effects appear to be sustained—their symptoms have improved.
Why isn't research on light therapy for neurodegenerative diseases well-funded?
When I first started working on this eight years ago, the idea was really esoteric, and people were skeptical that light could heal the brain. We've been working to overcome this skepticism by continuously producing results from robust experiments. But it can be hard to get investment in double-blind randomized controlled trials because there's no patentable drug at the end of it. People can buy an LED panel online, so there's not a big financial reward to support such expensive clinical trials.
Recently, there has been more interest in light therapy and knowing how it works and what mechanisms are behind it. In ten years, I believe this field will expand even further purely because there's nothing you can do to slow or prevent neurodegenerative diseases at the moment. There are no therapies that are neuroprotective. Some drugs might reduce symptoms, but they don't fix the problem. The beauty of light as a treatment is that it's simple, safe, and potentially effective. There's nothing to lose by trying it.
What are your thoughts on personal light devices?
There are so many that I can't keep up. A few seem to be doing quality scientific testing, while there's a whole proliferation of others on the market that nobody knows how well they work. As far as I can tell, most devices haven't been rigorously tested in the context of therapy. But if you can be confident in the intensity of the light and that it's at the right wavelength, then it should be beneficial.

The IRS has said that about 30 percent of taxpayers itemize. Some economists predict that under the higher standard deduction, only about 5 percent will itemize.
But that doesn't necessarily mean people will stop giving to nonprofits and to churches and other houses of worship.
"It's difficult to predict exactly how this tax plan will play out and impact our members," said David Anderson, communications specialist at Pullen Memorial Baptist Church in Raleigh. "We trust that our membership gives to see that our mission in our community continues, and we hope that they will continue to support us."
Contributions to churches and other houses of worship are treated by the IRS the same as those to nonprofits, but donors may look at them differently; members of churches are encouraged to be good stewards and reliable financial supporters of the work their churches do. To those for whom financial support is seen as a religious obligation, changes in the tax law may be inconsequential.
"The average family that puts a check into the offering plate every week, they're probably going to keep giving at that same level," said Jennifer Copeland, executive director of the N.C. Council of Churches.
The increase in the standard deduction may also leave some taxpayers with more disposable income, which they could use to sustain or even increase their charitable donations.
Nonprofits in North Carolina collect and spend roughly $42.5 billion a year and employ about 10 percent of the workforce.
But some nonprofits are worried about donors who make gifts in the thousands of dollars, enough to make a big difference to the organization receiving the money but not enough to make it worthwhile for the donor to itemize under the new tax rules. Anderson said that Pullen has a couple of donors who pledged money to its recent capital campaign who looked into making their gifts in the last days of 2017, so they could claim the deduction, rather than waiting until 2018.
While the effect of the tax law on charitable donations may have been unintended, it was not unknown to lawmakers. U.S. Rep. Mark Walker, a Republican from Greensboro, introduced a provision in October that would have allowed taxpayers to deduct charitable gifts in addition to the increased standard deduction.
Franklin Graham, president and CEO of two major international non-profits — Samaritan's Purse, based in Boone, and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Assocation in Charlotte — encouraged his Facebook followers in November to ask their representatives in Congress to support Walker's proposal. The provision was not included in the final tax bill.
In an email, Graham said the organizations he leads "have been successful in helping people around the world largely due to the wonderful generosity of our donors, and our prayer and expectation is that their heartfelt giving will continue. We have not seen that giving in the last few days has been noticeably impacted by the tax law changes."
Operators of some nonprofits are hopeful Congress may still act.
If not, and if charitable giving drops $13 billion nationally as one economist has predicted, North Carolina charities could be expected to take a big hit. So could the people who depend on them.
In the state, Heinen said, nonprofits collect and spend roughly $42.5 billion a year and employ about 10 percent of the workforce. In the Triangle, they include Duke University Medical Center and WakeMed hospitals.
Beyond the changes in the standard deduction, the tax could have additional, indirect effects on nonprofits. To pay for the tax cuts included in the plan, Congress will have to cut spending. Some cuts are expected in programs that provide direct aid to the poor, forcing some recipients to look elsewhere for help. Cuts also are expected to programs that funnel tax money to nonprofits that provide services to the poor, such as housing assistance or health care.
"There is a continuous need for the services that nonprofits provide," Heinen said, and organizations across the state are worried that there will be more people in need of services, "and fewer resources to provide them."

Guest Post: Loving Frank
By Rebecca Borman
Famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright is renowned for designing beautiful homes and buildings that blend into the natural environment. Many of them are in the Midwest, including a great number in Chicago. Wright designed homes in Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York, and even Oklahoma. And one of his winter homes was right here in Arizona. Taliesin West is located in Scottsdale – about 30 miles from my home, and it was Wright's winter home and studio complex. As was true for all his structures, Wright's design was greatly influenced by the natural surroundings, in this case desert and mountains. Recently, I got my first look at this beautiful place.
The visit came about because I volunteer with someone who is intimately familiar with Taliesin. She wondered aloud if any of us would be interested in a behind-the-scenes tour with her. A half dozen of us said yes, and she set it up. Most everyone who visits there takes a tour, because many areas are not otherwise open to the public. We visited all those places. But because our guide had lived and worked at Taliesan West from the time she was young, our tour was enhanced by her personal stories and insights. For instance, as we walked through the living room, she reminisced about cocktail parties held in that room. When shown the bedrooms that had been occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Wright, our guide explained that her bedroom, when she lived and worked here, was very similar. The rooms had permanent walls on three sides, but one side was open, with views of the desert and the mountains. Then and now, canvas "doors" could be closed for privacy but still let in some air.
The architecture blends into the natural environment.
As she showed us the theater that had entertained many guests, she explained that those lucky enough to work there had done a little of everything. Her job was in the office, but she also sang and played the violin for evening entertainments. In between her office work and her performances, she would quickly change into an evening gown, help prep dinner, serve, and sometimes clear up. Then it was time to sing and/or play her instrument with the chorus and orchestra. She told us, "We were busy! Sometimes our gowns were spotted with stains from the food we had served, but no one seemed to care."
Taliesin West office and main studio
After we had seen the public areas, she took us up to the private sun deck, where we enjoyed the spectacular view and met her sister, who works and lives there now. It was fun to imagine how often Wright and his apprentices sat up there and discussed a million things about architecture and life in general.
And speaking of apprentices, young men and women still study at Taliesin, which currently houses an architectural school. There is no undergraduate program, but someone with a Bachelor's degree can earn a Master's degree. And, others come to study as enrichment, but don't have to enroll in an institutional program. We met one of the Master's students, a young man who is in his fifth year there. He sounded regretful when he said he would probably graduate in the spring. I believe he would like to stay there indefinitely. And, he showed us what was, for me, the most interesting part of the tour, and something the public tours never see — the student residences.
Since the time of Frank Lloyd Wright and continuing today, students at Taliesin stay there, and build their own housing. Taliesin West is built on a large acreage, and students build or rebuild a site in the surrounding desert, in which they live while in residence. These are essentially tented constructions on slabs……
Naturally, students are encouraged to be creative in their designs, and every structure is different. Some are very simple; some are quite elaborate. They are small, containing a bed and a fireplace, and perhaps a small table, but no closets. All are open, with a roof of some sort. They are either raised above ground or are surrounded by a short wall, to keep out wildlife. We were shown one that was large enough to house a family, and our friend said it was exactly the type of construction their family lived in when her father apprenticed there. I took many photos of the designs that dot the desert around the house. I wondered what it would be like to walk in the dark through the desert to your bedroom.
Frank Lloyd Wright was, by many accounts, a difficult man. But his creativity, not only in his designs but also in his way of viewing the world, had a tremendous impact. It's apparent that those who really knew him looked beyond his foibles to the talent and energy of a man who took the architectural world by storm. Now, I feel that I know him a bit better myself.

That house looks amazing, I knew his name but nothing else so I googled him. He lived quite a life.
It was fun to see the house through the perspective of someone who had lived there.

Local nonprofit that feeds the needy receives $5,000 Gannett grant
The Mansfield-based Matthew 25 Outreach Center, which provides food to the needy in three area counties, was selected as one of the recipients for the Gannett Foundation's 2021 "A Community Thrives" grants.
The nonprofit agency was awarded $5,000 by the Gannett Foundation, which is affiliated with Gannett, the parent company of the Mansfield News Journal and more than 200 other news outlets across the nation.
"Now in its fifth year, A Community Thrives awards grants to many significant causes helping to improve lives. Each of our grant winners is making a positive impact, and we are proud to support organizations that share our purpose," Gannett CEO Mike Reed said.
Matthew 25 Outreach Center's mission is "working together to meet needs as we build relationships," and its services include distributing produce and providing a food box program for seniors, according to its website, m25oc.org.
While the nonprofit agency is based in Mansfield and provides services in Richland, Ashland and Wayne counties, the $5,000 grant it received is specifically to be used to "feed needy people in Wayne County," according to the center's grant application.
Matthew 25 Outreach Center's coordinator for Wayne County, Arnold Mokma, said the organization serves 637 families in Wayne County through home delivery of food on the third Saturday each month. Much of that food comes from the Akron Canton Regional Foodbank, "and we focus on healthy, fresh produce ... along with 'fun foods' such as chips or other snacks."
Roughly 3,000 families in Richland County (first Saturday of the month) and about 200 families in Ashland County (fourth Saturday each month) also are served through a combination of onsite pickup and home delivery. Food mostly comes from the Cleveland Foodbank.
This year, Mokma said, Ohio reports that 13% of families have children with food insecurities.
"We obviously are not meeting the food needs of everybody," he said. " ... We're thinking that we are providing a food item that is less purchased because of expense. Families aren't likely to buy produce so we're trying to fill a need in that area."
Volunteers are needed in any of the three counties to help prepare food boxes and assist with deliveries. Call Mokma at 330-317-9855 if you'd like to volunteer.
Nationwide, more than 24,000 people crowdfunded $3.1 million and the Gannett Foundation distributed an additional $2.3 million in grants.
A Community Thrives supports organizations working to address a range of social issues. This year, those issues included homelessness, mental health care for LGBTQ people, reproductive care and girls' education, to name a few.
Since 2017, A Community Thrives has distributed $17 million in grants and donations to community-based organizations.
"Across the country, A Community Thrives grants link USA TODAY Network brands to the communities in which we operate and beyond," said Sue Madden, director of the Gannett Foundation. "Our reporters work every day to empower communities to thrive and this program helps fulfill that core purpose."

Peters accompanies governor to Israel to explore water research partnership
By UWM News December 1, 2017 Science & TechnologyWater & Environment
UWM Engineering & Applied Science Dean Brett Peters accompanied Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on a trade mission to Israel last month, and they returned home with a signed letter of intent to collaborate on developing new water technology.
Under the agreement, the Water Equipment and Policy Center and the Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev will explore the potential for working together on water-related research to develop new technologies.
Brett Peters (center), dean of UWM's College of Engineering & Applied Science, stands with Jack Gilron (left) and Noam Weisbrod, both of Ben Gurion University's Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research.
UWM leads the Water Equipment and Policy Center; Marquette University is the other academic member. Established by the National Science Foundation, the center is one of 69 industry/university cooperative research centers that facilitate collaborative innovation among universities, governmental agencies and private companies, whose membership pays for the cost of research in a shared intellectual property arrangement. One of the center's goals has been to bring in an international partner.
"We wanted to learn about the Zuckerberg Institute's objectives moving forward to see if there was any possibility for collaboration," Peters said. "We're encouraged by the opportunities we discovered. Our next steps will be to determine possibilities for direct collaboration and/or complementary research."
A key goal of the trade mission was to promote Milwaukee as a regional hub for water technology and establish relationships with other regional leaders, both nationally and internationally. Israel, which faces challenges of supplying water in an arid environment, has long been a leader in water technology.
The Zuckerberg Institute serves as a national center of expertise and training on water-related problems, focusing on water management. Desalination, "smart water" and influencing consumer behavior are a few areas the institute specializes in.
Members of the Wisconsin delegation that visited Israel last month stand outside the Israel Innovation Authority. From left are Brett Peters, dean of UWM's College of Engineering & Applied Science; Karen Frost, vice president of business development for The Water Council; Dean Amhaus, president and CEO of The Water Council; Gov. Scott Walker; and Kevin Shafer, executive director of MMSD.
Peters met with Ben-Gurion Professors Jack Gilron and Noam Weisbrod, among others, to outline water-related issues, highlight potential solutions and consider opportunities for collaborative research. Weisbrod is director of the Zuckerberg Institute, while Gilron heads up the institute's Department of Desalination and Water Treatment.
A second letter of intent activated an existing agreement between the Water Council and the Israel Innovation Authority. The partnership commits matching funds to pilot and develop new Israeli technology in the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District and other Wisconsin-based water utilities.
"These partnerships will strengthen the sector in both countries, and are expected to open new markets to water technology companies in Wisconsin and Israel," Walker said.
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. organized the trip to Israel as part of its goal to develop new partnerships in the water technology sector, encourage investment in Wisconsin and increase exports.

e) be able to pay the full amount for the counter, which may include additional costs for taking cubes from one of the Demand tracks.
There are two types of cards, Location cards and Industry cards. Location card allows you to build at that location.
An Industry card allows you to build that type of industry BUT only in locations that you are connected to. In the Canal Period you can build in any location that you are connected to by your own canal links. In the Rail Period you can build in any location that you are connected to by your own rail links or where you already have an Industry counter. If you play an Industry card as your very first 'build' card then you can build in any space that matches the symbol on the card.
IMPORTANT: There is a 'virtual' connection between Liverpool and Birkenhead which acts in the same way as an owned canal/rail link. It cannot be used to move coal along or sell cotton.
Each location is made up of a number of spaces. Each space contains one or two industry symbols. In all cases the counter you build must match one of the symbols in the space that you build in.
If the Industry counter you wish to build has a black cube marked on it then you must be able to move one coal cube to the location that you intend to build in. There are two sources of coal; coal mines and the Coal Demand track. You must always take a cube from a coal mine in Lancashire if possible, which can belong to any player. If there are no coal cubes that you can legally take in Lancashire then you can take one from the Coal Demand track. There are two reasons why you could not take coal from Lancashire; you may not be connected to a source by canal/rail links, or there may be no coal left in any locations in Lancashire.
If you can take coal from Lancashire then you must take it from the closest source, the distance being counted in constructed canal/rail links to each potential source. In the case of equidistant sources you choose which you wish to take.
Coal must be moved along constructed canal/rail links to the location where you intend to build. You can move coal through an External Location. Once you have moved it to its final destination you remove it and place it back in the stock.
If it is not possible for you to take coal from Lancashire then you can take it from the Coal Demand track. To do so the space that you are building in must be connected to a constructed port by canal/rail links. You must pay an extra amount for this cube, as shown on the Demand Track. If there are no cubes left on the Coal Demand track then you can take one from the stock at a cost of £5. This is considered the same as taking it from the Coal Demand track.
If you take the last cube from a coal mine then you flip that counter to its other side. The owner of the mine immediately moves his income marker a number of spaces along the Income Track equal to the value shown in the gold circle.
You never have to pay another player if you take coal from their mine. You can move coal along anybodies canal/rail links. You do not pay anything to move coal, even if it is along another player's link.
If the Industry counter you wish to build has an orange cube on it then you must take one iron cube from somewhere. If possible you must first take it from an iron works in Lancashire, which may belong to another player. You do not need to be connected to the source by canal/rail links. You do not need to take it from the closest source. If there are no cubes in Lancashire then you can take a cube from the Iron Demand track. This will cost an additional amount, as indicated.
If there are no cubes left on the Iron Demand track then you can pay £5 to take one from the stock. After taking the cube place it back in the stock.
If you take the last cube from an iron works then you flip the counter to its other side. The owner of the counter immediately moves his income marker a number of spaces along the Income Track equal to the value shown in the gold circle.
You never have to pay another player to take iron from their counter.
You must pay the full cost of the counter plus any additional amounts for coal and iron, as explained below. This money must be placed in your 'Amount Spent' box.
There are a number of further restrictions on what you can build and where you can build it. You must always build the top Industry counter from one of your five stacks of counters.
You cannot build an Industry with a Tech Level of zero. Any counter with a Canal symbol on it can only be built in the Canal Period, ie. you cannot build Tech Level 1 counters in the Rail Period. Any counter with a Rail symbol on it can only be built in the Rail Period.
Each space in a location can only contain one counter. In the Canal Period each player can only have one Industry counter in a location. In the Rail Period the only limit to the number of counters you can have in a location is the number of eligible spaces available.
When you build a counter you always place it face-up.
Cotton mills produce textiles, which you can then sell via a port. Selling cotton is an action and results in the counter being flipped to its other side.
Ports allow cotton mills to sell their produce. When a port is used to sell cotton it is flipped to its other side. You can also take coal from the Coal Demand track via a port.
Coal mines are sources of coal cubes. When you build a coal mine you place a number of coal cubes on it, as indicated on the counter. A coal mine is flipped to its other side when all of the cubes on it have been removed.
IMPORTANT: If at the point at which you build your mine it is connected to a constructed port then you MUST immediately move coal cubes from it to fill any empty spaces on the Coal Demand track. For each empty space you fill you take an amount from the bank equal to the amount shown to the left of the space. You fill the track from the bottom upwards. This money is taken after you have paid for building the coal mine, it cannot be used to pay for the coal mine. Note that if your coal mine is not connected to a constructed port when built but then becomes connected in a later turn you do NOT move cubes from it to the Coal Demand track.
Iron works are a source of iron cubes. When you build an iron works then you place a number of iron cubes on it, as indicated on the counter. An iron works is flipped to its other side when all of the cubes on it have been removed.
IMPORTANT: At the point at which you build an iron works you must move cubes from it to fill any empty spaces on the Iron Demand track. You do not need to be connected to a port to do so.
You take an amount of money from the bank for each cube you place on the track, in the same way as coal.
Shipyards have no special function, they are simply a good way to gain victory points. As soon as you build a shipyard you flip it to its other side. Note that in the Canal Period you will only be able to build a shipyard in Liverpool as Birkenhead and Barrow-in-Furness are only served by rail links.
You can always build in a space already containing one of your counters as long as the new counter is of the same type and has a higher Tech Level. The old counter should be removed, along with any cubes on it.
You can build on top of another player's coal mine with one of your own only if there are no coal cubes in Lancashire or on the Coal Demand track. Your coal mine must have a higher Tech Level then the one you are replacing.
The above rule applies to iron works, you can replace one if there are no iron cubes left in Lancashire or on the Demand track. Income Levels are never reduced due to the removal of an Industry counter.
You can combine your two actions into one action. In this single action you can build in any available space in Lancashire. You must still abide by all of the rules concerned with building an Industry counter. You must still play two cards.
The particular card you played before selecting this action has no effect on where you can build a link.
You can build a canal/rail link on any potential link that connects with one of your Industry counters or is connected to a location that you already have a canal/rail link running in to.
Canals can only be built on potential canal links. In the Canal Period the only links you can build are canal links.
Rails can only be built on potential rail links. In the Rail Period the only links you can build are rail links. Each rail link requires one coal cube, which must be moved to one of the two locations that the rail is being built between. As with building Industry counters this coal must be moved via rail links to its final destination, and must be taken from Lancashire first if possible.
You can build a link from an External location that you are connected to. You can build two rail links in a single action. This costs £15. You still need one coal cube per link built. You can never build two canal links in a single action.
The particular card you played before selecting this action has no effect on what development you can perform.
As one action you can remove and discard one or two Industry counters from the top of your stacks. These can be from the same or different stacks. For each counter you remove you must also take one iron cube from the board. See the rules on Taking Iron to tell you where you can take cubes from. You can never add counters to a stack.
The particular card you played before selecting this action has no effect on your ability to sell cotton.
You may sell cotton from any number of your face-up mills. Each mill must sell to a face-up port or a Distant Market. Treat each mill you sell from separately.
To sell to a face-up port your mill must be connected to it. Selling cotton to a face-up port flips both the mill and the port. You can sell your cotton to a port owned by another player, they cannot refuse you the use of it. You do not have to sell to the closest available port and you can trace a route through a face-up port to the one you wish to sell to.
To sell to a Distant Market your mill must be connected to a constructed port. A single sale involves you turning over the top tile on the Distant Market stack and moving the Cotton Demand marker down a number of spaces on the track, as indicated on the tile. If the marker has not reached the bottom space then you can flip your cotton mill. You then earn an additional amount of money for the sale as indicated at the side of the track. You do this every time you sell to this market. Place the tile you remove at the bottom of the stack.
If the Cotton Demand marker reaches the bottom space then you do not flip your mill. No more cotton can be sold to the Distant Market by ANY player for the rest of the period and all Distant Market tiles should be removed from the box.
The particular card you played before selecting this action has no effect on how much money you can take as a loan.
You may take a multiple of £10 from the bank, up to a maximum of £30. For each £10 you take you must move your wooden disc one Income band down the Income track. It is not possible to move below -£10.
You cannot take a loan once the deck of cards has been exhausted in the Rail Period.

Rumor: AQUAMAN Has Chosen Its Villain
Posted by Blair Marnell on November 25, 2015
There are potential spoilers ahead for the upcoming Aquaman live-action movie. Don't say that you weren't warned!
Next year, former Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa will become the first actor to portray Aquaman on the big screen in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, before reprising his role in the two-part Justice League film and the Aquaman solo movie in 2018. While Aquaman is still a few years away, JoBlo is reporting a new rumor which suggests that a villain has already been picked for the movie.
According to the report, Momoa's Aquaman will square off for the throne of Atlantis against Orm Marius a.k.a. Ocean Master. In DC's comic book universe, Ocean Master is Aquaman's half-brother, and they are also mortal enemies.
JoBlo's report noted that the Aquaman screenplay was only started recently, so the story details could still change. The report also suggested that Mera–Aquaman's wife and a formidable heroine in her own right–will be played by "a non-white actress." In the comics, Mera is a caucasian woman, but as noted by JoBlo, Momoa's Aquaman isn't caucasian either. That could be the reason that Warner Bros. feels free to reimagine Mera as well.
According to the report, Warner Bros. is also making it a priority to diversify the lineup of its superheroes in the new DC Expanded Universe. That may even include plans for a gay superhero, but no further details were included in the story. It was also suggested that the Cyborg solo film could become a team movie built around the Teen Titans.
Keep in mind, all of this is simply a rumor until the studio confirms it. But it's an interesting glimpse at the potential direction of DC's films.
How do you feel about the choice of Ocean Master and the rumored casting direction for Mera? Summon the sea creatures and share your thoughts below!
