Q: React.js DOM element not displayed im trying to mount a DOM element to a div but for some reason it does not work, page is blank. Im using react, vs code and antdesign library. App was created with npm (create react app). Sandbox link with working example: https://codesandbox.io/s/scrolling-loaded-antd4151-forked-p6qmp?file=/index.html
This is my code:
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <link rel="icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
    <meta name="theme-color" content="#000000" />
    <meta
      name="description"
      content="Web site created using create-react-app"
    />
    <title>React App</title>

    You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.

index.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import App from './App';

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

    loading: false,
    hasMore: true,
  };

  componentDidMount() {
    this.fetchData(res => {
      this.setState({
        data: res.results,
      });
    });
  }

  fetchData = callback => {
    reqwest({
      url: fakeDataUrl,
      type: 'json',
      method: 'get',
      contentType: 'application/json',
      success: res => {

      this.setState({

  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<InfiniteListExample />, document.getElementById('test-container'));

app.js
import './App.css';

function App() {
  return (

  );
}

export default App;

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help

A: You should import InfiniteListExample instead of App component (index.js file)
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import InfiniteListExample from './test';
import reportWebVitals from './reportWebVitals';
import './index.css';

ReactDOM.render(<InfiniteListExample />, document.getElementById('root'));
reportWebVitals();

and remove the call of ReactDOM from your test.js file

import React from 'react'
import InfiniteScroll from "react-infinite-scroller";

import { List, message, Avatar, Spin } from 'antd';

A: I found the issue..
I installed react-infinite-scroller but when I did it, I was not in project root directory but inside react directory. It did install it successfully and everything seemed fine since import was pointing correctly. I deleted the package, installed it from root, changed
import InfiniteScroll from 'react';

to
import InfiniteScroll from 'react-infinite-scroller';

and it started working. Strangely the vs code debugger didn't complain...

Care and respect for animal welfare are at the center of our own sustainable turkey breeding program. Unique in its kind in the Benelux. Our turkeys are humanely raised, without antibiotics nor growth stimulators.
A selected group of local breeders raise and bred turkeys exclusively for Volys Star. Dedication at the heart of our business.
It already starts with the careful selection of the eggs which are hatched during 28 days.
We selected a slow growing breed of turkeys, which we believe is a guarantee for a better meat quality.
We feed our turkeys with only vegetal and all natural feed from sustainable sources. The feed crops are selected and controlled through Trustfeed and Quartes, one of our sister companies. It stays all in the family.
Our focus on the welfare of our turkeys is the most important pillar of our breeding program. A lot of measures are taken to improve the breeding conditions and stable environment.
We have lowered the number of turkeys per stable, so they have more space to move and to browse around.
We enriched the stable surrounding with various elements that trigger the attention of the turkeys who are by nature curious, this encourages them to conduct natural behavior while a varied environment stimulates their explorative character.
Grit is also provided, so the turkeys can scratch. Grit favors also a better digestion.
New build stables are equipped with a porch gallery, so the turkeys can discover the accommodation.
Numerous efforts which result in healthier and lively animals, with a good meat quality.

Offered as an alternative to banded sunglasses, our Bolt sunglasses for kids are perfect for children who like to be children and enjoy all of the twists and turns that come along with childhood. They're incredibly flexible, so you won't have to worry about them breaking.
Bend 'em, flex 'em, you can't break 'em! Finding a pair of sunglasses that are durable enough to hold up during the everyday life of an adventurous kid isn't easy. But our Bolt sunglasses are ready for whatever the day brings!
These sunglasses are designed to be flexible so your kids can do just about whatever they want in them without breaking them. They have classic temples, two-tone coloring and an unbreakable, flexible, wrap around frame to minimize exposure to peripheral light. The shatterproof Polycarbonate lenses are lightweight while providing excellent impact resistance and optical clarity.
Bolt sunglasses for kids are perfect for children ages 4-6.
Good Design overall, it is even better than some Italian name brands we had before. The main feature that attracted our decision is the frame; the temples are totally flexible and much accommodating to our kids head and their little noses.
Even though the frame fits well, I do wish the style could be a tad narrower in height to fit our pug-nosed kids. There is very little gap between the cheeks and the frame.
These sunglasses look great on our son and stay on! Very happy with them.
Seem study, connected a neck piece so he doesn't lose. Liked that they came with a clear pouch with a fastener for a belt loop or even the lanyard grandson will be wearing there. He hasn't tried them on yet but look big enough.
Fast shipping, came undamaged. My 4 year old sone loves the glasses, they fit and stay well.
4 stars because we just got them and want to see how they hold up to wear and tear.
Looks well built and my son loves it.
Additionally he likes the pouch that it came with.
First pair of sunglasses that do not hurt the sides of my 5 year olds head. Very comfortable and look really nice.
Cool is what our grandson said of these sunglasses. They are well made and stylish!
Also, he loves the zippered pouch included with his new sunglasses!
We've tried a lot of random cheap sunglasses and my boys would never keep them on. But they love these and take them everywhere and wear them happily. Such a great deal on a great product. I have an almost 5 year old and a 2 1/2 year old with a big head and I got them both the same size.
I like the glasses. It's soft and safe for my child. I bought 4 more for my nieces and nephews.
We can't wait to try out my son's new sunglasses for vacation in a few weeks. I was really pleased with the construction, the shipping, and everything else. They look cool, but I love the durability of them. Thanks!
The glasses fit well & are stylish. They are flexible, so I think they'll last. My son loves them & is excited to wear them.
These glasses are perfect for kids. Won't break. Can order polarized lenses. Pricing very competitive. Great value. Very fast delivery also!
I bought this style because I wanted my son to have as much peripheral vision as possible still covered by the sunglasses. He has high cheeks, and this style of lenses doesn't go down as far over the cheeks. I'm hoping he can use them when he plays sports outside. That being said, I gave four stars because I wish they came with a built in but removable strap like the 2-year-old glasses. A free one-size-fits-all strap came in the shipment, but it's huge and not easily adjustable like the straps on the sunglasses for younger kids.

Race: Indian River County School Board District 4
Winner: Teri Barenborg
Party: Nonpartisan
Defeated: Stacey Klim
Next step: Will be sworn in Nov. 20
At stake: Four-year term, $35,051 annual salary
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Teri Barenborg, a longtime educator on the Treasure Coast, won the District 4 School Board seat Tuesday, taking 52.6 percent of the vote.
Barenborg, who teaches in St. Lucie County, defeated Stacey Klim, a volunteer and advocate for special-needs children in Tuesday's runoff election. Barenborg credited her opponent with running a hard fought race.
"We were both first-time candidates for School Board and she worked hard and we worked hard and my hat's off to her," Barenborg said of Klim.
Barneborg said she still was trying to let the victory sink in, but that she is ready to get to work.

"It's pretty awesome. I'm proud of her. I'm kind of speechless," said Andrew Barenborg of his mother's victory. JEREMIAH WILSON/TCPALM

"I'm just here to support them and congrats to them because they earned it," said Stewart. JEREMIAH WILSON/TCPALM
"School safety is my No. 1 goal," Barenborg said. "Being a teacher, I can say we have a lot more training in 'code red' defenses than we ever had before. And having served as a principal, I understand a lot about school finances and had a lot of training in them."
Barenborg said her experience in the classroom will enable her to have a perspective perhaps different than other candidates.
"I won't have to learn a lot of things a new board member would, but there is a lot I have to learn being new to the board," she said.
Barenborg came close to winning the seat outright in the Aug. 29 primary, but strong support for Klim forced the runoff after Randy Heimler was eliminated. On Tuesday, Barenborg received 30,957 votes to Klim's 27,864 votes, according to final, unofficial results from the Supervisor of Elections Office.

In the primary, Barenborg received 12,026 votes, about 42 percent. Klim received 10,301 votes, about 36 percent.
Stacey Klim (Photo: CONTRIBUTED PHOTO FROM STA E)
Klim has two students in the district, including one with special needs, who she said was without a full-time teacher last year. Improving education for these students in Indian River County was a focal point of her campaign.
Barenborg, meanwhile, taught at Dodgertown Elementary, where her two children have attended school. She has been a science teacher, administrator or principal at other schools for low-income students in Indian River and St. Lucie counties.

Farmingdale Crash Sparks New Road Safety Measures
Rashed Mian
In response to last weekend's tragic early-morning head-on crash that killed five Farmingdale teenagers, New York State has installed speed control trailers on Conklin Street that blare drivers' speeds, while other safety measures are in the works to help prevent additional fatal crashes in the area.
In letter dated Thursday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo told Farmingdale Village Mayor Ralph Ekstrand that he was "deeply saddened" when he learned of the deadly crash, adding that as a father of three daughters, "I know all too well the importance of keeping our roads safe."
The recently installed speed control trailers are meant to serve two functions: inform drivers as to how fast they're traveling and encourage them to obey the speed limit.
Meanwhile, Cuomo's office is looking into other safety measures it can pursue, such as using radar devices that will switch traffic lights to red when they identify a speeding vehicle, forcing the driver to stop. Cuomo wrote that the state is planning to install the first of those devices at the corner of Conklin and Walnut Street in the coming weeks.
Additionally, the state's Traffic Safety Committee will work with traffic boards and Nassau and Suffolk police to come up with further recommendations. Those may include warning drivers of the dangers of drag racing, though police have not yet said if that was a factor in the crash.
A Nassau County police spokeswoman said Thursday that the department doesn't "have anything further at this time." The investigation is continuing.
The state will also review the feasibility of lane modifications.
"Enforcement and education are important elements that need to be addressed as well to support any engineering on the roadway," Cuomo wrote.
The five victims were all either current or past Farmingdale High School students. They were all traveling in the same car just after midnight on Saturday when it crossed into the eastbound lane and collided with an SUV, police said. Two of the passengers died instantly.
Friends and family mourned the victims at a vigil on Mother's Day, and a makeshift memorial replete with colorful bouquets of flowers, balloons, photos and candles has sprouted up near the scene of the horrific crash.
The victims were identified as:
Tristan K. Reichle, 17, of Farmingdale
Jesse J, Romero, 18, of South Farmingdale
Carly Lonborg, 14, of South Farmingdale
Noah Francis, 15, of Farmingdale
Cody Talanian, 17, of Farmingdale

Missouri GOP still pressing to 'deliver the knockout punch' to Planned Parenthood
Jeanne Kuang
June 28, 2021, 8:55 PM ·4 min read
American politician
Though state Senators fended off a bid by hardline conservatives to pull Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood, Missouri Republicans are not done trying to remove the provider from the state health program.
Republican Senators said they've been assured that Gov. Mike Parson's administration is likely to pursue regulatory action to eliminate the organization from any role in Medicaid.
In the House, which begins meeting in special session Tuesday to take up renewal of a critical tax that pays for the health program — passed by the Senate early Saturday — lawmakers will push separate legislation to ban payments to Planned Parenthood.
"Anti-abortion politicians continue to threaten this vital health care program for people with low incomes by considering illegal 'defunding' measures against Planned Parenthood," Planned Parenthood Advocates in Missouri said in a Monday statement.
Either course of action could land Missouri in a fight with the Biden administration, which has indicated it opposes efforts to block family planning providers from federally-funded programs. The administration has not addressed Missouri's specific efforts, but some lawmakers suspect it will push back.
"I'm not sure the Biden administration is not looking for a state to make an example of," said Sen. Mike Cierpiot, a Lee's Summit Republican.
Under state and federal law, Medicaid does not cover abortions. But Planned Parenthood's status as Missouri's sole abortion provider — at its St.Louis clinic — has spurred numerous attempts by hard-right Republicans to remove the organization entirely from its role in delivering taxpayer-funded health care to low-income women.
Under Medicaid, its Planned Parenthood's 11 family planning clinics across the state provide birth control, sexually transmitted disease treatments, cancer screenings and other non-abortion services.
After a bitter impasse, the state Senate Saturday rejected the latest attempt, led by Lake St. Louis Sen. Bob Onder, to attach the ban on payments to Planned Parenthood to the renewal of the medical provider tax that generates billions of dollars for the state's Medicaid program.
Compromise language specifies that the program also does not cover the abortion pill.
After the Senate vote, Republicans rushed to declare that the state will still move to exclude the provider.
"Leaders in the Missouri House and Senate are working closely with Governor Parson to put a real plan in place to, once and for all, defund Planned Parenthood in the state of Missouri," Majority Leader Caleb Rowden, a Columbia Republican, wrote in a statement on Facebook.
He and Senate President Dave Schatz, a Sullivan Republican, said in a joint statement after the vote that Parson had made a "commitment to take necessary executive action" that would "deliver the knockout punch" on Planned Parenthood funding.
Parson's spokeswoman Kelli Jones did not respond to an inquiry Monday on details of the executive action being considered. Rowden and Schatz also did not return calls for comment.
Lawmakers were unwilling to pass the Planned Parenthood ban in the tax renewal bill because termination of the tax could lead to the collapse of the state's entire Medicaid program. But Republicans learned the Parson administration could instead rewrite Medicaid rules on its own in a way that would restrict an abortion provider from the program, Cierpiot said.
"The good thing about that from our point of view is if the rules are found to be beyond what is possible, we can try again or try different methods," he said. "I just think it's a much better way to do it. Nothing is threatening funding."
How the Biden administration would respond to a proposed rule restricting the affiliates of abortion providers is unclear. Federal law prohibits states from excluding qualified Medicaid providers without reason. But the Trump administration in 2018 rescinded Obama-era guidance to states that had specified they could not exclude providers for being abortion clinics. Federal appeals courts have allowed Republican administrations in both Arkansas and Texas to cut ties with Planned Parenthood.
"It's an open legal question," Missouri anti-abortion lobbyist Sam Lee said last week.
Planned Parenthood Advocates in Missouri has launched a petition asking the Biden administration to weigh in on Missouri's efforts.
"We're calling on the pro-reproductive health White House to make it clear every Missourian who relies on Medicaid has the freedom to choose their provider," it states.
Meanwhile, House Republicans are rushing this week to push the Planned Parenthood ban the Senate rejected on Saturday.
In addition to hearing the bill to renew the medical provider tax, which must pass by July 1 before Parson enacts drastic budget cuts, the House Budget Committee is scheduled to hear two pieces of legislation fully excluding Planned Parenthood or other abortion clinic affiliates from Medicaid and other public funding.
It is sponsored by O'Fallon Rep. Nick Schroer, who is among several House Republicans who have said they want to restore Onder's language alongside passage of the tax renewal.
Lawmakers in 2018 and 2019 included this ban in the state budget, and the state withheld more than $1 million in payments from Planned Parenthood affiliates before the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that lawmakers could not pass that legislation through the state budget.

If you're one of the millions of New Jersey residents who commutes to work or school or wherever, whether you're on a train or a bus, or, in some cases both, you know that, even as the quality and reliability of service goes down, the cost is always going up.
It's a common refrain. The Port Authority's PATH service has had a particularly bad year as it tries to implement federally-mandated safety controls and attempts to handle all the volume from unchecked new development along its 14-mile line. Crowded platforms and long delays have become the standard.
It's been a long time since the 50-cent PATH fare, but since 2002 the price of a one-way PATH fare has gone up from $1.50 to $2.75. If you've been here a long time, that seems like a lot, but newcomers in Jersey City, most commuting to and from Manhattan, say it ain't so bad.
Also, it could be worse, says Rajko Gommers. He's visiting from the Netherlands where he's a university student who takes two trains to get to school and two trains back, every day.
"So, a single-way ticket is around 10 to 12 euros, times 10, so it's 120 or 100 euros a week," he notes.
That's roughly $468 a month. Transit guru Martin Robbins says most people don't know they're already paying for mass transit, whether they take it or not. In the case of NJ Transit, public dollars cover about 50 percent of the system's operating costs, with commuters picking up the rest. The national standard is closer to 75 percent, he says.
Since 2002, fares on NJ Transit have gone up over 60 percent, 25 percent in 2010 alone. So, why, even with a public subsidy, are you seeing those big fare increases every few years?
Robbins says that until political leaders start being honest with commuters and create a policy that raises fares more regularly and more fairly, relief is miles down the track.
Unlike a lot of commodities, the cost of transportation rarely fluctuates. The only direction it follows is up, even while the quantity and the quality of supply goes down.

Background: Current quality improvement models in obstetrics focus on prevention of adverse perinatal outcomes. The development of these metrics was based on expert opinion that did not account for patients' values. The ultimate aim of our research is to develop performance indicators for labour and birth that reflect the patient perspective. Methods: A qualitative interview design was used to engage a convenience sample, of recent (<1 year) postpartum patients, in semi-structured interviews, where they shared their experiences of their recent birth. Patients were also asked to assess descriptions of adverse perinatal outcomes for readability and comprehension, towards developing accurate unbiased descriptions for a subsequent survey of patients to weight complications. Responses were recorded, transcribed, coded and analyzed using thematic analysis. thematic analysis. Results: Five themes emerged during the analysis: (1) desire for patient-centred care, (2) improved communication, (3) labour/birth, expectations and outcomes, (4) care team support during labour and birth, (5) continuing emotional and physical postpartum care. Conclusions: Patient-centred care and good health outcomes were the major values expressed by the patients in this study. Good communication and shared decision making led to patients describing their labour and birth as a satisfying experience. This study lays the foundation for developing a quality tool to measure the outcomes of birth and adverse outcomes from the patients' perspective.

GSA has Opportunity to lead Federal Climate Change Initiative.
March 19, 2021 /in News /by Nakira Whitehead
The federal government is the nation's largest employer and its largest energy consumer. The U.S. has rejoined the Paris Agreement which aims to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius. President Biden wants the public sector to be an example for environmental sustainability. Due to the building and construction industries accounting for more than a third of energy and process-related carbon dioxide emissions, one of the biggest ways to reduce the nation's carbon footprint is with real estate. Fortunately for the General Services Administration (GSA), they have a head start.
"Since 2013, GSA has successfully reduced its total inventory by 7 million rentable square feet (RSF), reducing its footprint from 378 million RSF to 371million RSF in 2020." Stated by an agency spokesperson in an email to Federal News Network. "Over the last 15 years, GSA has made substantial progress improving our buildings' energy efficiency and space utilization through investments in new and existing facilities, technologies, and operational best practice adoption." Agencies must submit draft action plans to the new National Climate Task Force and the Federal Chief Sustainability Officer within the next three months. Those plans should describe steps agencies can take to make facilities more resilient to climate change impacts.
The environmental impact of federal real property, as well as government procurement power, are just some components in Biden's wide-ranging Jan. 27 Executive Order on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad. The EO proposes a carbon pollution-free electricity sector by 2035, and clean and zero-emission vehicles for all government fleets, including the Postal Service. This is notable because 36% of federal energy consumption comes from more than 350,000 buildings, while about 60% comes from vehicles and equipment, according to the Energy Department's Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP). The EO directs the White House Council on Environmental Quality and the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to make sure contractors pay more attention to reducing carbon emissions.
"Action plans should, among other things, describe the agency's climate vulnerabilities and describe the agency's plan to use the power of procurement to increase the energy and water efficiency of United States government installations, buildings and facilities and ensure they are climate-ready. Agencies shall consider the feasibility of using the purchasing power of the federal government to drive innovation and shall seek to increase the federal government's resilience against supply chain disruptions," the EO reads. Whatever is left after operating expenses can go to construction, repairs or major renovations of federal buildings – the kinds of projects needed to improve energy efficiency and sustainability. Because the easier fixes, such as more environmentally friendly lighting, are largely done, he said.
GSA, in particular, has reduced its leased footprint by 10.4 million square feet since October 2014, the agency spokesperson said. During his time at PBS, Mathews said their strategy revolved around two things: Reducing total square footage and getting real estate at a better price. To do this, PBS prioritized leasing first and GSA's overall portfolio second. "We went after leasing first, because when you lease, you have access to private capital through your lease. So, you leverage, with your annual lease payment, significant amounts of private capital to restructure your lease portfolio – the portfolio the federal government consumes in the private market," he said. "As a result, we're avoiding over $4 billion in lease costs that – because of the transactions we put in place when we were there, by reducing the size of that lease portfolio. Along with that smaller footprint is less energy consumption."

Q: Character limit countdown for multiple textareas on the same page? At the moment I am trying to create essentially the same type of countdown on twitter textareas. It does work for the first textarea but it then duplicates the same amount of characters remaining for all posts when I start typing in the first texarea.
What I need to know is how do I get the characters remaining for only the current textarea?
HTML:
<textarea name="comment" class="inputField newComment">@'.$post['username']." ".'</textarea>

jQuery:
function updateCountdown() {

    var remaining = 140 - $('.newComment').val().length;
    $('.countdown').text(remaining + ' characters remaining');

    if(remaining < 0){

        $(this).siblings('.postComment').hide(500);

    }else{

        $(this).siblings('.postComment').show(500);
        if(remaining <= 10){
            $(this).siblings('.countdown').css("color","red");
        }else{
            $(this).siblings('.countdown').css("color","black");
        }
    }
}

$('.newComment').change(updateCountdown);
$('.newComment').keyup(updateCountdown);

A: Try something like this,
HTML
    <textarea name="comment" class="inputField newComment" data-limit=20></textarea>

<textarea name="comment" class="inputField newComment" data-limit=20></textarea>

JS
    $(document).ready(function () {
    $('textarea').on("propertychange keyup input paste",

    function () {
        var limit = $(this).data("limit");
        var remainingChars = limit - $(this).val().length;
        if (remainingChars <= 0) {
            $(this).val($(this).val().substring(0, limit));
        }
        $(this).next('span').text(remainingChars<=0?0:remainingChars);
    });
});

http://jsfiddle.net/qMbdW/3/

A: My version is a little longwinded, but it works and doesn't require a data-limit attribute (or any other attribute) on the textarea. In my case, I was struggling against an ancient version of jQuery and CMS with its own form builder and limited access to the HTML of the page.
Here's the HTML:

myTextArea

<textarea id="myTextarea" rows="2" cols="30">   </textarea>

myTextArea2

<textarea id="myTextarea2" rows="2" cols="30"></textarea>

And here's the jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
    // set the IDs for the text areas and counters
    // handy for aliasing long, CMS-generated IDs
    var myTextarea = 'myTextarea';
    var counter = 'counter';
    var myTextarea2 = 'myTextarea2';
    var counter2 = 'counter2';

    $('#' + myTextarea).keyup(function () {
        var charLimit = 150;
        var remainingChars = charLimit - $(this).val().length;
        if (remainingChars < 0) {
            // trim input, if necessary
            var tlength = $(this).val().length;
            $(this).val($(this).val().substring(0, charLimit));
            var tlength = $(this).val().length;
            remain = parseInt(tlength);
            $('#myTextarea').text(remain);
        }
        $('#' + counter).text('(' + remainingChars + ' characters left)');
    });
    $('#' + myTextarea2).keyup(function () {
        var charLimit = 150;
        var remainingChars = charLimit - $(this).val().length;
        if (remainingChars < 0) {
            // trim input, if necessary
            var tlength = $(this).val().length;
            $(this).val($(this).val().substring(0, charLimit));
            var tlength = $(this).val().length;
            remain = parseInt(tlength);
            $('#myTextarea2').text(remain);
        }
        $('#' + counter2).text('(' + remainingChars + ' characters left)');

The Department of Microbiology was carved out of the Department of Biological Sciences in 2001. Prior to the creation of an autonomous department, Microbiology was studied as an option in Biological Sciences. Today, the Department of Microbiology is one of the eight Departments in the College of Natural Sciences (COLNAS) of the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta.
Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, a large and diverse group of organisms that exist as single cells or cell clusters. The science of microbiology includes the study of microbial growth, biochemistry, genetics and ecology and the relationship of microorganisms to other organisms including humans. As a basic biological science, microbiology provides some of the most accessible research tools for probing the nature of life processes. Our sophisticated understanding of the chemical and physical principles governing life has developed from studies of microorganisms. As an applied Biological Science, Microbiology deals with many important practical problems in medicine, agriculture, biodegradation and food industries, and is at the heart of biotechnology industries. With the advent of Molecular Biology and the recent advances in DNA fingerprinting, the study of Microbiology in the 21st century has been completely revolutionalized. Postgraduate programmes in Microbiology are therefore designed toward the study of the scientific basis and applications of microbiological phenomena at advanced level. The philosophy of the programme is therefore, to impart specialized knowledge and skills, training human resources who will develop the society technologically particularly in areas relating to human welfare and progress, thereby contributing to the building of national identity and integrity.
(i) To produce high level man power in Microbiological sciences through the acquisition of requisite skills and knowledge for national development.
(ii) To develop in Microbiology graduates a sense of inquiry, capacity for independent research and motivation to extend the frontiers of microbiology.
(iii) To produce Microbiology graduates who will be adequately equipped for relevance in the global knowledge economy.
(iv) To produce Microbiology graduates who are capable of applying appropriate Microbiological principles for solving problems for the promotion of human well being.
(v) To produce manpower in Microbiological sciences with optimal competencies and skills to function effectively in the academia and the private sector.
(iii) To present candidates for admission, award of grants, scholarships and fellowships and the award of higher degrees and graduate diploma to the College Postgraduate Committee.
To be eligible for admission into the Masters Degree programme, the candidate must be a graduate of this University or any other University recognized by Senate and shall normally have obtained a minimum of Second Class (Upper Division) degree in relevant field. In exceptional cases, candidates with Second Class (Lower Division) with minimum CGPA (3.0) may be considered.
To be eligible for admission to the Doctor of Philosophy degree programme, a student must have obtained a Master's degree from this University or its equivalent from any other University recognized by Senate. For holders of one year degree of Master, the minimum duration on the Ph.D. programme shall be three years.
Admission is opened to candidates from this University or its equivalent from any other Universities with Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology, Biotechnology and related disciplines. All candidates must have five credit passes in English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
The Master's degree programme may be run on full-time or part-time basis. For full-time registration, the minimum duration shall normally be four semesters and maximum of eight semesters. For part-time registration, the maximum duration shall be eight semesters and maximum of twelve semesters, from the date of registration.
Registration for the Doctor of Philosophy degree programme shall be on full-time or part-time basis. For full-time registration, the minimum duration of the programme shall be six semesters; the minimum duration shall be eight semesters for part-time registration. However, if the Masters degree was obtained from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta or its equivalent elsewhere, minimum duration shall be four and six semesters for full time and part-time respectfully.
Advanced topics in microbial systematics, Microbial cells, morphology and structure. Modern methods of classification of microorganisms. Microbial Metabolism.

Christmas Day celluloid classic The Great Escape will no doubt bring back memories for the more 'mature' gamer out there; and now, thanks to SCi, you can relive those post turkey-and-trimmings nostalgia-thons by taking on Jerry as the man himself: Steve McQueen! Recreating some of the film's infamous moments, including the legendary motorcycle chase, and providing a playable back-story for pivotal characters, The Great Escape is one of the most promising war movie tie-ins to grace the PS2 since, well, Escape To Victory got over-looked (What? It would be great!).
Based on the eponymous Oscar-nominated 1963 film, The Great Escape has come a long way since its vintage ZX Spectrum incarnation (who could forget that one eh?), and comes fully licensed to depict characters, likenesses and other such legally exciting wotnot. Centring on the true story of a mass breakout of a POW camp during WWII, The Great Escape follows the exploits of a plucky group of prisoners who have pulled off more daring escapes than Harry Houdini.
Holed-up in the Stalag Luft III POW camp, the Allied soldiers must use any means necessary to get the boys out, without alerting Hitler's goons to their plans. There are four playable characters, and each has their own set of challenges to complete before you can move onto the next. So, for example, you'll start out as MacDonald, the group's resident German-speaker, then progress to the resident 'Mr Fixit': Sedgwick. And fear not McQueen wannabes, your moment of glory will come soon enough, when you step into the legendary shoes of his character Virgil 'The Cooler King' Hilts for a series of Nazi-slapping escapades.
The action's largely stealth-based, with missions seeing you creep about camp attempting to secure items or glean intel, all without alerting the guards to your night-time sojourns of course. If you do happen to get spotted by one of the guards, or 'ferrets' (Nazi escape prevention specialists) there's a couple of courses of action open to you. The first, slightly less risky option is to head for cover, skulk in the shadows and hope that no one spots you. The second choice involves taking out the 'ferret' that spied you, either by strangling them, or using any (preferably silent) weaponry you have at your disposal. There's also the rather nifty 'distraction' feature, whereby other cons will help you carry out missions by creating diversions for the guards.
In addition to the stealthy element to the gameplay, there's plenty of all-out action on hand to keep the pace up, and a variety of vehicles to commandeer as you mount your daring escape, including trucks, and the customary motorbike, of course.
Using a combination of slow stealthy acts, and high-adrenaline action sequences, The Great Escape melds a variety of gameplay to create an experience which accurately reflects the pace of the film. Fans of the 60s classic will be reassured that SCi and developers Pivotal have taken their acquisition of the licence seriously, creating a polished, engaging and entertaining bit of escapism.

New Dædalus Issue on "Civil Wars & Global Disorder: Threats & Opportunities"
CAMBRIDGE, MA | October 4, 2017 — Civil wars continue to be a frequent and debilitating phenomenon in international politics. Of the approximately 200 countries in the world, there are currently 30 civil wars underway, including several in which the U.S. military is directly and deeply enmeshed.
Many of these wars are unfolding in states with limited capacities to respond to and mitigate the security consequences that emanate from internal violence and state disorder. Almost all of these consequences, in one form or another, are the sources of immense human suffering and regional instability. And when combined with other global threats, such as pandemics and transnational terrorism, civil wars might ultimately claim a staggering number of lives.
Responding to these circumstances, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences launched an 18-month project on Civil Wars, Violence, and International Responses. The initiative brings together experts across disciplines and around the world to examine why states break down, what the impact of state disorder and failure is within and beyond national borders, whether there are universal qualities or regional characteristics of violent conflicts, and how and when external actors can effectively intervene in civil wars.
The Fall 2017 issue of Dædalus, "Civil Wars & Global Disorder: Threats & Opportunities", is the first publication of the American Academy project. The second volume, "Ending Civil Wars: Constraints & Possibilities," will be published in January 2018. The project will host a series of discussions in the United States and around the world, including in places directly impacted by civil war, with government leaders, heads of nongovernmental organizations, practitioners, academics, and journalists, among others, that will inform a subsequent publication incorporating policy recommendations for national and international engagement.
In their introduction to this issue, guest editors Karl W. Eikenberry (Stanford University; Lieutenant General, U.S. Army, retired; former U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan; Member of the American Academy) and Stephen D. Krasner (Stanford University; Member of the American Academy) draw on their personal experiences in government and military service, which were deeply influenced by Al Qaeda's attack on the United States, to recognize the profound difficulties of effectively "treating" civil wars as a third party. Yet as they state, "the complexity of the problem, however, should not lead policy-makers to ignore and dismiss the potential threats." Instead, they propose that we grapple with the scope and impact of intrastate warfare, factor in the effects of globalization and the current shifting of global power, recognize the roles of national elites, and recalibrate goals for stability and security.
In the twelve essays in this issue, the authors explore causative factors of civil war, the connection of intrastate strife and transnational terrorism, the limited successes and failed ambitions of intervening powers in the recent past, and the many direct and indirect consequences associated with weak states and civil wars, including the dangers posed by pandemics, mass migrations of people, and great-power proxy warfare. The volume offers specific examples from Central Asia, the Middle East, South America, and sub-Saharan Africa.
The Fall 2017 issue of Dædalus on "Civil Wars & Global Disorder: Threats & Opportunities" features the following essays, all of which are available online at www.amacad.org/daedalus:

Great Backyard Bird Count set for this weekend
Eddie Fitzgerald, Sun Journal Staff
Birders will have a chance this weekend to participate in an annual study that�s going global this year.
The 16th annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) takes place Friday through Monday, and scientists are asking for help to count birds on their migratory routes.
Anyone can watch birds at any location for at least 15 minutes, tally the numbers of each species they see and report their findings online at Birdcount.org.
Last year, participants of the GBBC submitted 104,151 checklists (a record) with 17.4 million individual bird observations, according to the GBBC website.
This year could be even bigger with the introduction of new technology. New features include interactive maps and using smartphones to upload bird counts through an eBird BirdLog app.
Bob Gould, president of the Lower Neuse Bird Club, said flocks of birds already are making their way to New Bern to fuel up for the migration north. Red-winged blackbirds, common grackles and some brown cowbirds are now very active, he said.
�They have decimated feeders,� he said. �They are coming in the hundreds every day. They tend to congregate here. It�s pre-migration time for them.�
More red-breasted nuthatches seem to have shown up this winter than usual, Gould said. They usually stay farther north, he said.
Gould said he enjoys the GBBC each year and thought it would be a fun activity for kids and a way for parents to get their children involved in birding.
�The idea is to try not to count the same bird more than once,� he said. �That is sometimes difficult.�
All of the data collected during the GBBC will be used as a base to evaluate migration trends, Gould said.
�It is a way to get an idea of how certain species of birds are doing,� he said. �It�s not an exact science, but I find it enjoyable.�
Jim Oldham, owner of Wild Birds Unlimited, and his wife, Carol, participate in the GBBC each year.
�It�s entertaining to watch birds,� Oldham said, �and it is a citizen science project, collecting data and putting it online; and it can be a family-oriented activity.�
People can visit the GBBC website Friday to see bird observations taking place around the world and contribute their own tallies. Global participation will be made possible through eBird, a real-time online checklist program that the Cornell Lab and Audubon are integrating into the GBBC for the first time this year.
John Fitzpatrick, Cornell Lab director, said he was eager to see how many of the world�s 10,240 bird species will be reported this year.
�We're looking forward to this historic snapshot of birds that that will be reported from around the world,� Fitzpatrick said in a statement. �We need as many people as possible to help build the wealth of data that scientists need to track the health of bird populations through time.�
To learn more, visit Birdcount.org. The count also includes a photo contest and a prize drawing for participants who enter at least one bird checklist online.
The Great Backyard Bird Count is a joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Audubon, with Canadian partner Bird Studies Canada and sponsored in part by Wild Birds Unlimited.

Structural Transition During Fibrillogenesis of Amyloid β Peptide
George Sidrak, University of Central FloridaFollow
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease marked by progressive neuronal cell death, leading to dementia. AD is the most common disease that results in dementia and largely affects the elderly, with five million people in the United States diagnosed with the disease as of 2015 and approximately 35 million people worldwide. Diseases resulting in dementia cost the US healthcare system an estimated $172 billion in 2010 and that cost is expected to increase as the population ages and as diagnostic techniques improve so that more people are treated (Holtzman, 2011). The disease was first reported by psychiatrist Alois Alzheimer at the onset of the 20th century, when one of his patients "suffered memory loss, disorientation, hallucinations and delusions and died at the age of 55," then was found to have severe brain atrophy post-mortem (Cipriani, Dolciotti, Picchi, & Bonuccelli, 2011). There are palliative treatments available that marginally slow disease progression but there is currently no cure for the disease (Awasthi, Singh, Pandey, & Dwivedi, 2016). More research is needed to develop effective therapeutic strategies to combat the disease. Currently, AD cytotoxicity is believed to be caused by increased amyloid β (Aβ) peptide plaque deposition in the brain, as described by the amyloid cascade hypothesis (Barage & Sonawane, 2015). The current understanding is that oligomers of Aβ peptide lead to neuronal death through multiple mechanisms, most notably hyper-phosphorylation of the tau protein. Having a better understanding of the structural changes in the fibrillization process of Aβ will provide a broader insight into mechanisms of cell death and open new possibilities for pharmacological treatments, which is what this research intends to provide.

Alrighty… one of my relatives has been into card making for quite some time. She makes cards from scratch, but she also embellishes store-bought cards using buttons, cabochons, acrylic gems and, of course, stickers. So for a few years now, I've received many beautiful cards for all kinds of occasions (birthdays, Christmas, Easter, invitations, etc.).
A few months ago I thought that I could try to make more of an effort with cards. I wasn't really sure where to start, but I bought mixed gems, mixed buttons and colourful pearls (flat back ones). In addition, Paperchase had a big sale going on, so I bought a number of cards and writing sets. Amongst many other items, I picked up these 2 cute cards for 40p each.
I really liked the "Hello Lovely" card. I knew right away that I would use some of the colourful gems to make the flowers pop. And the "Floral Cat" card caught my eye because of its beauty. I also noticed right away that the cat would look more glamorous with a sparkly bow tie (which I also happened to have). And here's what the embellished cards looked like!
However, I didn't just buy 2 cards. Amongst a number of different items, I also picked up a set of unusual looking craft note cards (6 different designs, 2 each). These were 70% off! 😉 My husband doesn't like these cards at all. And whilst I understand why he feels this way, I don't agree with him at all. I think these cards are pretty awesome. They're unusual, and they're perfect for craft projects!
Whilst I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with the "Shattered" cards, I instantly knew that I'd use a few colourful gems to beautify the "Blobs" cards. I glued pink gems onto the first card and purple gems onto the second card. I still have the card with the pink gems, but I already gave the one with the purple gems away. The recipient liked it very much!
I've only been embellishing cards for a few weeks now, but I'm already hooked. I don't think I'll ever make cards from scratch, but embellishing store-bought cards is awesome fun. In addition, it's super easy to do. If I can do it, so can you!
Are you into craft or card making? Do you have any (new) hobbies you'd like to share? Feel free to get in touch via the comments. And thanks for stopping by!

Earthquakes cause damage to our built environment and disrupt out social systems. Infrastructure, such as water, gas, electricity, communications and transportation systems are not independent but rather complexly interact with each other. Therefore, even if only a part of the infrastructure is damaged, the urban community can sustain serious damage and functional disruption. Our laboratory covers a broad field, from the estimation of strong ground motion in the near fault zone, to the investigations of the mechanisms of structural damage, human injury and organizational disruption. Our goal is effective earthquake risk reduction, accomplished via analysis of the earthquake loss chain of causation, and development of effective mitigation measures for each link in that chain.
Junji KIYONO
These source, path, and site effects are the most important factors in the earthquake engineering. The time-space characteristics of strong ground motions in the seismic fault zone, wave propagating and site amplification effects are investigated. Numerical simulation techniques are developed and applied to the analysis of evacuation behavior during an earthquake.

Numerical Simulation of Seismic Ground Motions in Kyoto
Observed seismic motions are sometimes very different between two stations although their distance are not so large. This phenomenon is caused by the geometric structure of the ground. We here simulate the seismic ground motions taking into account the three-dimensional structural effects of ground.
Figure-1 Maximum velocity of seismic ground motions taking into account the three-dimensional structural effects of ground in Kyoto
Investigation of Mechanisms for Human Damages Induced by Earthquake, and Development of its Simulation Technique
Human damages are often caused by the earthquake damage to structures. There are many complicated factors between structural and human damages. For example, a person in a damaged house is injured not only by the structural elements but also by the furniture on the floor. In a train accident induced by an earthquake, the damage to human bodies also might occurs. Once a train is derailed by the earthquake motion, people in the train have serious damages. In the underground passageways, an electricity cut-off or a fire during the earthquake may cause a panic and many casualties.
In our laboratory, we investigate the process in which the structural damage derives to casualties. We develop the computer program in order to simulate those processes numerically.

Analysis of failure phenomena of masonry buildings during earthquakes
It has been reported that catastrophic earthquakes account for 60% of worldwide casualties associated with natural disasters. In most large-scale earthquake disasters, the principal cause of death is the collapse of buildings, and this has accounted for about 75% of earthquake fatalities over the last century. In addition, a large number of victims have died because of the collapse of masonry buildings. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the earthquake resistance of these primarily weak structures to reduce the number of casualties. With this background, a new numerical analysis method that enables the simulation of a series of seismic behaviors—from elastic to failure to collapse behaviors—is developed in order to clarify how the failure begins and proceeds, how the structures collapse, and how earthquake resistance can be improved effectively.
