Aim: This study assessed the effect of the dentin depth and the application mode on the hardness and elastic modulus of the adhesive layer.
Materials and Methods: Occlusal surfaces of 48 caries-free human third molars were removed, at two levels: Superficial and deep dentin. For each type of surface, the test specimens were randomly divided into groups which underwent the application: A conventional two-step adhesive system (Adper™ Single Bond [SB]) and self-etch adhesives system (Adper™ SE Plus [SE] and AdheSE® [AD]). The adhesives applied were active or passive. Composite build-ups were constructed incrementally. The teeth were sectioned, embedded, and polished. The nanoindentation test was performed in the adhesive layer. The results were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey tests.
Results: In the adhesive layer, the higher hardness (0.307 ± 0.006 GPa) and elastic modulus (4.796 ± 0.165 GPa) of SE were obtained in superficial dentin in passive application. The elastic modulus of SE (4.115 ± 0.098 GPa) was lowest in active application in superficial dentin. The active application significantly increased the hardness of the SB in the deep dentin (0.011 ± 0.314 GPa) compared the superficial dentin (0.280 ± 0.010 GPa). For the AD, only the mode of application was statistically significant (P=0.0041) for the hardness, active application (0.289 ± 0.015 GPa) being higher than passive application (0.261 ± 0.013 GPa) (P=0.0042) in deep dentin.
Conclusion: The experimental results reveal that the mechanical properties were influenced for the application mode of adhesive systems and dentin depth.
Several adhesive systems are manufactured and investigated with the objective of seeking an effective bond to different dentinal substrates, resulting in different substrate conditioning techniques, and application modes of these systems. Development efforts attempting to simplify the application procedure of adhesives by combining the primer and adhesive resin into a single application step may reduce hybridization effectiveness.  Therefore, self-etching adhesives were produced with the intention of reducing the steps in the conventional conditioning technique and mistakes during application and manipulation.
The immediate and long-term bond strength at the resin-dentin interface was improved by the active application of the adhesive systems. , The improvement in the mechanical properties of the polymer formed within the demineralized dentin can be attributed to this discovery.  Therefore, this study evaluated the effects of the dentin depth and the application mode on the hardness and elastic modulus of the adhesive layer.
Forty-eight extracted human third molars were obtained from the Tooth Bank of the "Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, PR, Brazil," and stored at 37°C in a 3% thymol solution until used. The present study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the UEPG, Protocol #09908/08. Three adhesive systems were evaluated: Adper™ Single Bond Plus (3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA), a total-etching; Adper™ SE Plus (3M ESPE), and AdheSE® (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein, DDR), self-etching. The samples were divided into 12 experimental groups (n=4). The factors under study were the adhesive system, the depth of the dentinal substrate and the application modes of the adhesive systems.
After the adhesive application, three increments of 1.0 mm of composite resin Filtek™ Z350 (3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) buildups were inserted and polymerized for 30 seconds (Optilux 400, Demetron, USA). The teeth were stored in distilled water for 24 hours and the "center area" was delimited with red color in order to separate four bonded sticks of each tooth used in the nanoindentation test. After this, the teeth were adapted to an "ad hoc " device, to obtain bonded sticks with a cross-sectional area of 0.8 ± 0.1 mm 2 .
The bonded sticks were fastened to "sample holders" with aid of paraffin. Initially were abraded with silicon carbide abrasive papers of decreasing abrasiveness (600, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000, and 4000). Polishing was made with diamond suspensions (1 and 0.25 μm), in an automatic polishing device Aropol S (Arotec, Cotia, SP, Brazil) at 300 rpm. After storage in water (37°C/24 h), the specimens were submitted to the nanoindentation test.
The nanoindentation experiments were made using a Nano Indenter XP (MTS Systems Corp., Oak Ridge, TN, USA). The surface approach rate of the nanoindenter was set at 10 nm/s and the duration of the loading and unloading indentation was set at 10 seconds each, and the load was maintained constant by 4 seconds at maxim load. The tests were made at room temperatures (24°C ± 0.2°C). A Berkovich triangular pyramidal diamond indenter was employed with an applied load of 1 gf (10 mN). Twelve test indentions tests were made for each bonded stick in the adhesive layer. The hardness and elastic modulus were determined by the Oliver and Pharr  method.
Scanning Electron Microscopy (Shimadzu SSX-550, Kyoto, Japan) was employed to obtain indentation images. The hardness and elastic modulus (GPa) values of the adhesive layer were submitted to a three-way ANOVA test. For the contrast of the means, Tukey's multiple comparisons test was used (α=0.05).
For AdheSE® : The hardness showed that only the factor technique was statistically significant (P=0.0041), the active application being [0.290 ± 0.009] statistically higher than the passive application [0.265 ± 0.013] (P=0.0042). However, as regards the elastic modulus none of the main factors [substrate (P=0.688), technique (P=0.820)], as well as the interaction (P=0.878) were statistically significant (P>0.05). As regards the hardness values, it can be observed that the active application provided the higher hardness in DD. No difference was observed among the groups as regards the elastic modulus.
The geometry of the indentation and the capacity of positioning accuracy of the nanoindentation technique in the adhesive layer (CA) are shown in [Figure 1]a-b.
In the present study, with the aim of standardizing the superficial and deep dentin, periapical radiographs of teeth were taken, which served as the auxiliary means of analyzing the proximity of the pulp chamber and consequently for determining the height of the occlusal cut. Thus, the variability of the dentin according to the anatomy of the dentin-pulp complex was seen, with superficial dentin obtained from perpendicular cuts corresponding to the same type of dentin.
The previous results in the literature demonstrated that the degree of polymerization is negatively correlated with the amount of solvents present in the adhesive, , meaning that the higher the amount of water/solvent, the lower the degree of polymerization.  Both the behavior of SB and AD with regard to the elastic modulus was unchanged, meaning that irrespective of the application mode or dentinal substrate, this property is not affected.
In each adhesive system, there is a known solvent concentration, in which maximum monomer conversion is reached, which appears to be related to viscosity, and could influence its mechanical properties. Although not measured in this study, it was visually evident that SE is more viscous than SB. Thus, the rewetting of the substrate during the adhesive technique might have been beneficial to SE, decreasing the viscosity of the adhesive and enabling greater mobility of the components in the reaction during polymerization. However, this hypothesis should be the subject of future studies for confirmation.
The polymerization shrinkage of composite resins can be minimized when adhesive systems with a low elastic modulus are applied in a thinner layer, whereas systems with a higher elastic modulus should be applied in a thicker layer to achieve this purpose.  Thus, a sufficiently flexible layer of intermediate resin could withstand the polymerization shrinkage stress of the composite resin as well as improve the distribution of stresses induced by thermal changes, absorption of water and occlusal force at the interface.  However, more studies can be performed by relating the mechanical properties of the adhesive layer and the thickness of the adhesive systems, because the polymerization shrinkage can be minimized when adhesive systems are applied in appropriate thick layers, from the analysis of elastic modulus.
Within the limits of this study, the experimental results reveal that the mechanical properties were influenced for the dentin depth and application mode of the different adhesive systems.

I've been modelling on and off for most of my life. Mostly aircraft models in any scale but more recently, as I get older and shovel hands, 1/48 scale is the scale of choice, or bigger if space allows.
Mostly stick to what I know, not a rivet counter by any stretch. If it looks good, it will do. Specialise in US Naval aircraft and classic airliners.
I wish I had more time, but don't we all.
Always looking to share and learn new modelling techniques and tools.

The Comoros olive pigeon (Columba pollenii), also known as the Comoro olive pigeon, is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It is found in Comoros and Mayotte. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.

Description
Easily distinguishable from other pigeon species, the Comoros olive pigeon is the largest bird in the Comoro Islands. It has a dark plumage. Adolescent pigeons have a bright yellow bill, whereas older ones have a dull green or brown bill. The Comoros olive pigeon makes a very deep coo of "guk-ohoooo hoo hooo".

Habitat
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and it can be found in Comoros (especially Mount Karthala) and Mayotte, with a higher-density population being observed in the latter.

Status
Although described as locally common in parts of Grand Comoro, the Comoros olive pigeon is in general a fairly scarce bird with a small total population. The chief threat it faces is the clearance of the forest habitat in which it lives, but it is also hunted on each of the four islands on which it is found. The population trend is unknown, but the total population is probably fewer than 10,000 individuals, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as "near threatened".

The Jackery Explorer 240 is a versatile product, and it works great for tailgaters, campers, and emergency preparedness. It comes with a 12V car socket, two USB plugs and a 110V AC outlet. While it may not be waterproof, it is completely silent and has zero emissions. It also comes with a solar panel that can be purchased separately for about $200. The solar panels are not waterproof.
The Jackery Explorer 240 has plenty of empty space in its battery compartments. This is great for cooling, but the 300 version has more wattage and a larger battery. It is quite heavy for a portable power source, and it weighs in at six pounds. Although its portability is a plus, it is also an excellent choice for travelers. This charger will serve you well if you are aware and aware of its limitations.
The Jackery Explorer 240 is a portable solar panel that can recharge itself via a wall outlet, car outlet, or solar panel. The Jackery Explorer 240's MPPT controller, which is built into the Jackery Explorer 240, can help you manage your portable devices' power output. The Jackery Explorer 500 and Sungzu 1000 Watts are suitable for those who require more power. The Jackery Explorer 240 makes a great camping purchase for those on a budget.
It is important to determine the power-to size ratio. A device that has a higher Watt measurement can run on a greater amount of power. Therefore, you must ensure the power to size ratio is right. The Jackery Explorer 240's surge power rating is 230W. This is quite impressive, but it is only a fraction of the power output of a standard household appliance.
In this Jackery Explorer 300 product review, we will cover the charging capabilities and battery life. The battery life is excellent, powering devices like laptops and smartphones up to 125W for up to 30 charges and even drones for up to six charges. This means that this portable battery will last most people at least a weekend. The device should be stored with a 70% – 90% charge level, which is more than enough for most people's needs.
Any USB-C PD charger will charge the Jackery Explorer 300's lithium-ion battery. The charging time will take longer if the charger is slower. Charging takes approximately 5.5 hours. This is significantly longer than average in this category. To protect batteries, all power stations have a maximum charging limit of 80%. Charging below 20 percent can drastically shorten battery life. So, it's recommended that you use a power station with a higher power rating than the Jackery Explorer 300.
The Jackery Explorer is a great option if you need a portable power source that can power a variety of electronic gadgets. The Jackery Explorer can produce up to 300W pure sine wave electricity using a 293Wh lithium battery. Although this is not enough power for a whole home, it is sufficient for small appliances like a toaster. Its power rating is enough to run a laptop or tablet, but you won't need much more.
The Jackery Explorer300's recharge time is remarkable for such small devices. A good PD USB-C charger can get the Explorer 300 from zero to 80 percent in just over two hours. This is a lot faster than the few minutes that smartphones take to charge their phones. Although the battery life is impressive it is quite expensive. Additionally, the battery can't be removed.

One of the best things about a Jackery portable power station is its size. It's quite large, but it doesn't seem bulky. The Jackery Explorer 1000 is an excellent choice for those who want something portable and lightweight but still have a lot of features they'll want. It's quiet at Jackery portable power station
If you're on the move, the Jackery portable power station is an excellent backup plan. The power station has a 240 watt lithium-ion battery that can power up four devices. Its lightweight design and push button operation make it easy to carry. The unit can charge smartphones or tablets and has an LED flashlight. The flashlight is useful for navigation and can be viewed as a novelty by some.
The Jackery portable power station has one drawback. It doesn't daisy-chain well with other power stations. This limits its use to full-time vanlife. This makes it ideal for short-term traveling and not full-time vanlife. The station comes with a 2-year warranty and hassle-free returns. Jackery offers top-tier professional service, as well, which can help you with problems, repairs, or even replacements.
Another excellent option is the Jackery Explorer 500. It features plenty of ports for most applications, and can power several devices at once. The Explorer 500, which can hold larger electronics and is 13 pounds in weight, is especially useful. It's much more affordable than comparable models and has a handle built in, making it easy to carry. The Jackery Explorer 500 is a great option if you are looking for a portable power source for camping.
Jackery's portable power station can charge multiple devices simultaneously, which is one of its greatest advantages. It's easy for you to take the Jackery portable power station on the road. You can also use it to charge your phone, tablet, and other small electronics. The 144-watt battery provides enough power to power most small electronic devices. It has an automatic shut-off that limits its output power to 500 watts.
If you're looking for a portable power source that's both powerful and portable, consider the Jackery portable power station. The Explorer is lighter and more portable than the EVO 300, which weighs seven pounds. Both power sources work with most small electronics as well as mobile devices. If you are looking for a lighter, smaller power source, the Jackery Explorer 300 is a good option.
The Jackery Portable Power Station can be used as a backup power source in the event of your RV's failure to turn on. This power source can power any RV or outdoor device. It is powerful enough to run a laptop computer, LED lights, a video game console, and other electronic devices. It can also power outdoor activities, such as sports games and picnics. It doesn't need gasoline so it can be used indoors and outdoors without any noise or exhaust.
The Jackery Explorer 1500 portable power station is a high-quality product that has received almost perfect 5-star reviews by real users. The device has a power output of more than one thousand watt-hours. The Power Station is not cheap, but it is still an option for emergency power. Even the largest power station in the line, the Jackery Explorer 1000, weighs only 22 pounds.
The Explorer 1000 is a great product, but it's also very easy to use. It comes with all the ports and connectors you need for your portable power supply. It can be charged with its AC/DC adapters. The Explorer 1000 weighs 22 pounds, which makes it easy to carry around. It also comes with a flashlight. While some people find this gimmicky, it's a great feature for navigating in the dark.
The Jackery Solar Generator is a portable power station that can be plugged into a car or wall outlet. It can also recharge using solar panels. The Jackery Solar Generator can also be used as a backup battery. These generators produce 240 watts or 480 watts, depending on the model. However, if you're concerned about its size, you may consider purchasing a smaller version.
The Jackery Explorer delivers outdoor portable power designed with safety in mind. It has enough power to charge small electronics and charge batteries. It can be used to charge small appliances, and also recharge it with optional solar panels. It can be plugged in and left to recharge itself if you don't plan on using it for a while. That way, you can use it again. In addition to its portable power, the Jackery Explorer is safe and easy to transport.
The Jackery solar generator, 240 watts, is compatible with 60W or 100W solar panels. It needs to be placed in the sun for hours and can only be charged if it is in good weather. It can be charged in 5.5 hours using the 100w panel or 7.5 hours using the 60W panel. This battery-powered generator is great for camping, hiking, or even on your boat. But if you're not sure which one to choose, there are a lot of other choices available.
The Jackery Explorer portable power source, 240 watts, comes with a charger, an AC adapter, as well as a manual. It can charge multiple USB devices simultaneously. It is not recommended to use high-wattage devices such as phones, cameras, or laptops. The Jackery Explorer 240 is not for use in situations where your device needs more power than 200W.
If you plan to use it in a US campground, you will also need an adapter. The socket connectors used by pedestals in the USA are the same as those used for household mains. This means you don't need an adapter if you're camping in the UK, but if you are in doubt, you can buy one here. However, the charging cable is only two meters long, which may prove a hindrance for long trips.
The Jackery Explorer 240 is a good one-trick pony that provides hours of power. It is small in size but extremely durable and safe for outdoor riding. Jackery has partnered to Honda to sell identical power station under the "Honda by Jackery" label. Amazon has a Jackery Explorer 240 for $79.
With optional solar panels (cost $200), the Jackery Explorer 240 can be charged in just 10 hours. A 12V car charger can be used to charge your 240-watt generator. Although the Jackery's 240-watt output isn't waterproof, it can last several years. It is also completely silent and emits no emissions. And if you're wondering about the 240-watt power supply, don't forget to look at its compatibility with your car.

Play Matt: Welcome To... Review
MT Matt Thrower Updated March 19, 2021
Welcome To... my local gaming club. Remember them? Communal spaces in which people could gather and play games face to face. Ours is in a refurbished social club, bright lights overhead, laminate flooring underneath. Tables set up in rows like benches of benediction before the bar. Waiting only for gamers to fill them with life and chatter and excitement.
Welcome To... my elder daughter who is coming to the gaming club for the first time. We don't know it now but there will be few more opportunities for her to join in before everything shuts down. Welcome To... is the game we're going to be playing, a flip and write game where we're competing town planners. Not the most inspiring theme but the owner has laminated score sheets and provided dry-wipe markers, which is a nice touch.
Welcome To... the rules, which are not as welcome as I'd hoped. The basis is very slick: you flip over three cards on the front of which are numbers, exposing the backs of three more cards that show actions. You choose a number to assign to a house on one of your three streets, which must be in ascending, but not sequential, order. Then you take the corresponding action.
The trouble is that while the actions aren't complex, they don't follow a strict pattern. A pool action lets you add one to a house only if it has space and only if it's the house you're numbering. A park action lets you add a park to the street where you're numbering a house. A fence action, meanwhile, lets you draw a line between two houses on any street at all. Parks, pools, fences and more besides all contribute toward end-game scoring.
Still, after a few turns, most become second nature. Those early turns are straightforward. You write low numbers at one end, high at the other, middle ones in the middle. You choose actions that you can be sure will boost your score. Parks and pools, for instance, help you cross off boxes toward a higher score. The agency action, meanwhile, lets you change the number on the card with a possible score bonus at the end so it's not useful early on.
As the game goes on, though, things get tighter. Once you start getting runs of numbers your choices become more limited and more difficult. Options like the agency or "bis" which lets you repeat a number for a small score penalty become more useful. Your scoresheet looks more and more of a mess. We're racing to be first to complete one of three town plans - fenced runs of numbers of particular sizes - for a fat score bonus and the prize is getting closer.
Each card flip is watched eagerly, the group maintaining a buzz of excitement punctured by the odd groan as fortunes are thwarted. But each head is down over its own scoresheet, focused on the pleasant puzzle at hand. I glance up at the box which lists one to a hundred players. For a moment that seems a stupid boast, before I remember how Bingo works. All you'd need is a projector and a lot of pencils and a thousand people could play Welcome To... together.
When the end comes, it feels like being forced off a project. Those unfinished pools! The gaps in the numbering! But, dutifully, we all get our heads down again and tot up our scores. It's satisfyingly close. That feeling that if you'd just swapped a couple of numbers round, it could have been you instead. It's a great opener for my daughter's first, last, game club. Later, we'll play Arboretum and The Grizzled, but it's Welcome To... that stays with us.
Fast forward a year trapped in my very own Welcome To... scoresheet. Three streets and a park, but sadly no pool. Roll and write games come and go, a brief distraction from these four walls. So when a new edition of Welcome To... pops up, complete with a new automated opponent solo mode, it feels like coming home.
First, I try to solo it the old-fashioned way. There's a digital scoresheet to try on my phone, bright and smooth and convenient under my fingers. Despite the passage of time, the rules need little more than a brief refresh. Solo, you draw three cards at a time and choose a pair to use, one for the number and one for the action. Like any good engineering project, it comes together with a mix of planning, triumph and moments of cursing my lack of foresight. A respectable score.
Next, I try the new solo mode. The setup is the same: draw three, choose two, discard one. Except that now, the one you discard can score points for the AI opponent you've picked from a selection. I start with AI level three, which scores nothing for parks and one for fences. This pushes a new level into each turn's decisions. I want to give them lots of parks and fences but that doesn't always chime with how I want to use the cards. It's like juggling and, from time to time, someone throws you an unexpected extra ball.
Despite my care, the AI kicks my ass. But, weirdly, this new solo mode has the teeth that the multiplayer game lacks. Beaten at level three, I start over at one and eke out my win for a crumb of self-comfort. The other levels look at me, taunting. There will be time to face down their mockery later.
For now, it's time to welcome my family to Welcome To... As with most games beloved of gamers, the initial skim over the rules makes no sense to them. They don't have the patience for even such modest pieces of abstract puzzling. Instead, we dive right in and I explain each action as it comes up. Piece by piece the puzzle comes together. By the end, they're as absorbed in their street designs as any gamer. I win by a single point. And as we all sit back, I look up at those same four walls I always do and feel, just for a moment, like I've built myself a whole new house.
A fine balance of strategy and tension together with a satisfying sense of construction are the makings of this otherwise dry flip and write game.

In one of my favorite instances of hobby games hitting the mainstream, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) recently mentioned that he's been obsessed with Welcome To... in a People magazine interview.


"A Superhero is someone who has extraordinary powers and uses them to help others. A true hero fights evil and protects people, animals and the world."
I completely agree with this definition of a superhero! The Herotopia superheros use their powers in the game to fight bullies and help people.
"In Herotopia, boys and girls can customize their very own superhero, design their ultimate Secret Hideout, play more than 25 minigames, make friends, go on 25 Missions, earn exclusive rewards, and discover fun facts about cities and cultures around the world, including the major cities of New York, Paris and Beijing.
Created by a husband and wife team, the mission of Herotopia is to empower kids to be heroes both in the online world and in the real world."
One of the cutest and my favorite characters are Smighties. Smighties are the "small but mightiest heroes in the universe." In the Herotopia online world, kids can rescue, collect and care for the Smighties creatures. Each Smighty has a special superpower and weakness.
The game is designed completely kid friendly and keeps kids engaged in a educational superhero gaming environment. I fully recommend Herotopia. Check it out here or at www.herotopia.com.

First, I've got to talk a little about the AWESOME Darcy Rose. I met Darcy at UCLA, where we were both undergraduate transfer students in the school of Theatre, Film, and Television. I can't speak to Darcy's first impressions of me, but she immediately struck me as a focused and hard working talent, and I was right. In the years since graduation, I've been thrilled to see her beautiful face on my television screen, kicking ass and taking names. And now she has her own acting studio in Ithaca, NY, where she works with super talented kiddos – empowering them to embrace their artistic sides through on-camera workshops and super fun film camps. I am seriously impressed with this woman!

John Angus Rhea
County Londonderry, Kingdom of Ireland
May 27, 1832(1832-05-27) (aged 78-79)
Blountville, Tennessee, U.S.
John Rhea (1753 – May 27, 1832) was an American soldier and politician of the early 19th century who represented Tennessee in the United States House of Representatives. Rhea County, Tennessee and Rheatown, a community and former city in Greene County, Tennessee is named for him.
Rhea was born in the parish of Langhorn, County Londonderry in the Kingdom of Ireland. His family immigrated to Pennsylvania when he was 16, settling in Philadelphia. His father, Rev. Joseph Rhea, a Presbyterian minister, moved the family to Piney Creek, Maryland in 1771. They moved again in 1778 to what is now eastern Tennessee (then in North Carolina). Rhea completed his preparatory studies in 1780, and entered Princeton College.
He served in the Patriot militia that defeated a loyalist force at the Battle of Kings Mountain in October 1780.
Rhea became clerk of the Sullivan County Court in the proposed State of Franklin, and subsequently in North Carolina, from 1785 to 1790. He was a member of the North Carolina House of Commons, and served as a delegate from Sullivan County to the Fayetteville Convention that ratified the Federal Constitution in 1789. He then studied law and was admitted to bar in 1789. In 1796, he was a delegate to the constitutional convention of Tennessee and also the attorney general of Greene County. At the same time he was a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives for two years.[1]
Rhea was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the Eighth Congress and the five succeeding Congresses, serving from March 4, 1803 until March 3, 1815. During the Tenth through the Thirteenth Congress, he was the chairman of the Committee on Post Office and Post Roads. He was a member of the Committee on Pensions and Revolutionary War Claims during the Fifteenth Congress through the Seventeenth Congress.
He was appointed United States commissioner to treat with the Choctaw Nation in 1816. Afterward, he again became a U.S. Representative, serving from March 4, 1817 until March 3, 1823 in the Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth Congresses. He was actively connected with higher education in Tennessee, serving as one of the founders of Blount College, which later became the University of Tennessee.[2] He retired from active pursuits and resided on Rhea plantation near Blountville, Sullivan County, Tennessee, where he died on May 27, 1832. He was interred in Blountville Cemetery.
Rhea County, Tennessee was named in his honor.

Saul Adler, MD (1895-1966) was a Russian-born professor of parasitology.
Adler moved to the United Kingdom as a child and studied medicine at the University of Leeds. He became interested in tropical diseases while serving in the Middle East as a Regimental Medical Officer during the First World War, and studied at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine after his return.
He moved to Palestine in 1924, and from 1934 until his death in 1966 he served as head and professor of the Department of Parasitology at the Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem. He was instrumental in breeding the wild Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) in captivity, enabling its use in medical research, and he worked on the transmission of leprosy bacilli to this species.
Though this was his major contribution in leprosy, he also contributed important research in other areas, especially the epidemiology of leishmaniasis. He was invited to speak at universities and medical schools around the world. During World War II, he taught parasitology to Allied medical personnel stationed in the Middle East.
He was highly respected in the Israeli scientific community, and received many honours for his work, including the OBE, the Chalmers Gold Medal of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, the Laveran Medal of the Société de Pathologie Exotique, the Israel Prize, the Weizmann Prize, the Israel Medical Association Prize, and the Bublick Prize of Hebrew University.

The Charlottesville Case
Charlottesville: An Overview of the Legal Case
BREAKING: Defendant Damigo Bankruptcy Claims Thrown Out
Integrity First For America Statement On James Fields Sentencing
CNN: Anti-Semitic attackers aren't lone wolves. They're a group hiding in plain sight.
Integrity First for America
Chandler Collins | Cavalier Daily
Sines v. Kessler is a federal lawsuit against the individuals and organizations who conspired to commit violence at the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in August 2017. Plaintiffs are ten Virginia residents who suffered severe physical and emotional injuries resulting from Defendants' planned and executed violence, harassment, and intimidation.
The Lawsuit
On October 12, 2017, Plaintiffs filed a Complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia alleging that Defendants "conspired to plan, promote, and carry out the violent events in Charlottesville." According to the Complaint, Defendants conspired to commit assault, battery, and other acts of violence and intimidation in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the KKK Act of 1871, and numerous Virginia laws. Plaintiffs are alleging seven causes of action and have requested compensatory and punitive damages as well as injunctive relief.
On January 5, 2018, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint supplementing their allegations and adding two Plaintiffs who were injured during the rally.
Preliminary Motions
On January 3, 2018, Plaintiffs won their first motion against the Loyal White Knights (LWK) of the KKK. The District Court ruled that LWK's response to the lawsuit—written by the group's "Imperial Kommander"—was improper. The Court ordered LWK to retain a licensed attorney and file a "proper responsive pleading." On February 15, the LWK's "Imperial Kommander" filed another letter with the Court. On March 15, the Court again ruled that the response was improper, writing that the letter "indicat[es] that Defendant LWK would neither comply with the Court's Order [of January 3] nor properly file a responsive pleading within the time allowed." Accordingly, the Court struck the second improper response and directed the clerk to enter default against LWK. The default was entered the following day.
On February 13, 2018, the Court ruled that one Plaintiff could proceed under the pseudonym "John Doe," recognizing that "the potential for retaliatory harm or harassment against named parties in this case is particularly pressing."
On February 26, 2018, former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke, a non-party, filed a motion to quash Plaintiffs' subpoena for documents regarding the violence in Charlottesville, including documents related to financial support given to organize the violent rally and meetings between Duke and other white supremacists before the events in Charlottesville. In a statement, co-lead attorney Roberta Kaplan said, "The documents requested are essential to discovering the full extent of the conspiracy to plan and commit violence in Charlottesville." On April 6, 2018, the federal court in Charlottesville denied without prejudice Mr. Duke's motion. On May 17, 2018, a federal court in Louisiana ordered Mr. Duke to produce documents in response to Plaintiffs' subpoena.
On February 28, 2018, the Court rejected an anonymous alt-Right member's attempt to interfere in the case, writing, "Movant seeks leave to litigate under a pseudonym in order to protect 'its First Amendment privilege to engage in anonymous speech and political association.' ... Allowing even a third-party to proceed in that fashion would create numerous practical problems and undermine the Court's inherent authority over litigants who appear before it."
On March 14, 2018, Plaintiffs filed an emergency motion with the Court after Defendants Matt Parrott and the Traditionalist Worker Party (TWP) made statements suggesting that they were destroying relevant evidence. Plaintiffs requested that the Court order Parrott and TWP to permit a forensic examination of their computers. The motion is currently pending before the Court.
On March 14, 2018, Plaintiffs obtained entries of default against five Defendants: neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin, Moonbase Holdings LLC, Augustus Sol Invictus, East Coast Knights of the KKK, and Fraternal Order of the Alt-Knights. Each of these Defendants failed to appear in the action.
On March 26, 2018, the Court denied attempts by Defendants Michael Enoch Peinovich and James Alex Fields to delay discovery and ordered Defendants to respond to discovery requests.
Motions to Dismiss the Case
Several Defendants filed motions to dismiss Plaintiffs' case, including Michael Hill, League of the South, Chris Cantwell, Matthew Heimbach, Jason Kessler, Matt Parrott, Traditionalist Worker Party, Richard Spencer, and Michael Enoch Peinovich.
On February 20, 2018, Plaintiffs opposed the Defendants' motions to dismiss, stating, "Defendants and their followers subjected people of color, Jewish people, and supporters of racial and religious equality to a premeditated, two-day campaign of violence and intimidation. Motivated by racial animus and armed with deadly weapons, Defendants filled the City of Charlottesville...with echoes of slavery and the Holocaust. Their acts of domestic terrorism inflicted traumatic injuries on many innocent people, including the men and women who filed this case." Plaintiffs continued, "Defendants formed, oversaw, and executed a common plan to arm themselves, travel to Charlottesville, and attack minorities."
On May 24, 2018, the Federal District Court in Charlottesville heard oral argument on Defendants' motions to dismiss the case. In a statement, Roberta Kaplan said, "Today was another important step toward obtaining justice for our ten brave clients." A transcript of the argument is available here.
On July 9, 2018, in a "huge victory" for the victims in Charlottesville, U.S. District Court Judge Norman K. Moon ruled that Plaintiffs' claims can proceed and denied 17 Defendants' motions to dismiss the case. The Court concluded, "Plaintiffs have, for the most part, adequately alleged that Defendants formed a conspiracy to hurt black and Jewish individuals, and their supporters, because of their race at the August 11th and 12th events." The Court did dismiss Defendant Mike Peinovich from the case.

Q: If I delay a council mission, do I lose it? In XCOM: Enemy Within / Unknown if you choose to delay the Council mission to investigate the fishing village (full of chryssalids) as it's just too difficult for your current troops, does it ever come around again?
The last couple of games I've started I've gotten it extremely early so I don't want to keep risking soldiers getting killed when I have no Revive perks or decent weapons.

A: It will not, and you will incur in a massive FEAR penalty, which in turn will bite you at the end of the month as it's very likely for you to lose a country or two due to that.
The only missions that do recurr are the main story missions and EXALT (The main Exalt missions that is)

Fahrudin Pjanic knew war was coming. As a footballer for FK Drina Zvornik in the Yugoslavian third division, he travelled around the country enough to see the social and political tensions that were building in the early 1990s. As the father of a newborn son, Miralem, his instinct was to get his family out before the worst happened. Friends in Luxembourg put him in touch with a semi-professional club, Schifflange, who offered him a part-time contract and help finding a job to pay the bills. To take up that opportunity, however, Fahrudin would need Zvornik to release him and provide the paperwork required to travel.
Twice he went to speak with the club secretary and twice he came away empty-handed. Desperate, his wife Fatima went to try for herself, carrying their baby in her arms.
That kid is now 28 years old and a key component of a Juventus side preparing for Tuesday's Champions League visit to Old Trafford. Those unknowing tears changed his life forever, freeing his parents to take him to Luxembourg, where he grew up in safety while hundreds of his fellow Bosniaks were being killed in Zvornik, and thousands more driven from their homes.
Sitting across the table in a meeting room at Juventus's new team headquarters in the Continassa neighbourhood of Turin, Pjanic's eyes widen as he contemplates what his parents went through. "They were still very young, 20, 22 years old, and they went to this new country where they didn't speak the language with nothing: two or three suitcases.
Fahrudin worked days and Fatima nights, so one would always be free to look after their son. For Miralem, that meant going along to Schifflange's training sessions every evening. He beams as he talks about helping dad fill his kit bag – a task that might well be imagined by some children as a chore, but which in his telling sounds like the greatest privilege in the world.
Pjanic has made good on his own potential, progressing from Schifflange's youth team to Metz, Lyon, Roma and now Juventus. In Italy, he is nicknamed Il Pianista – the Pianist – though his presence on the pitch is more like that of a conductor, arranging play from the middle of the park to help the soloists around him achieve brilliance.
"I'm not someone who can do 10 stepovers or backheels – I'm not very interested in that. I'm more fascinated by the simplicity of play, because the thing that makes this sport so beautiful. The simplest things are often the hardest. Not everyone can do them.
The mention of stepovers calls to mind Cristiano Ronaldo, newly arrived at Juventus this summer. "But if you look at Ronaldo when he was in Manchester and then at the Ronaldo who became the best player in the world, you can see his game has changed. His game became more concrete.
Pjanic has had some extraordinary teammates of his own to study. Perhaps most influential was Juninho Pernambucano, considered by many to be the greatest free-kick taker of all time. Pjanic played with him for one year at Lyon, as a teenager, inherited his No 8 shirt and even now they remain in regular contact.
Pjanic has 15 Serie A goals from direct free-kicks since he joined Roma in 2011. His opportunities have been limited, however, since Ronaldo joined him in Turin. The informal rule is apparently that "whoever is feeling it takes the ball", but the Portuguese seems to be in the mood an awful lot so far.
If Pjanic is unhappy with this arrangement, he does a good job of hiding it. He is enjoying his football, and enjoying success. He had never raised a major trophy before joining Juventus in 2016, but has won consecutive domestic doubles in Turin.
"I like to watch teams who play well, ball on the floor, ball to feet, playing well as a collective," he says. "Napoli, in recent years, have played beautiful football. But a title, a cup, celebrating with your team, making the fans happy, that's the reward for all the hard work you put in. Something you get to keep.
The Champions League is the one trophy that has eluded Juventus in this era, with two finals lost in the past four years. Pjanic was part of the team that lost 4-1 to Real Madrid in Cardiff in 2017. Ronaldo scored twice that day, and his arrival in Turin has bred optimism that the Bianconeri might get over the hump at last.
Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic believes his mantra of 'keeping things simple' is behind his rise to football's elite.
Pjanic was considered a direct replacement for Andrea Pirlo when he joined Juve from Roma in the summer of 2016, and the Bosnian explained his approach to keeping the Bianconeri's midfield ticking over.
"I'm not someone who can do 10 stepovers or backheels – I'm not very interested in that," he told The Guardian.
"I'm more fascinated by the simplicity of play, because the thing that makes this sport so beautiful. The simplest things are often the hardest. Not everyone can do them.
"I had the good fortune to see players like [Zinedine] Zidane, Xavi, [Andrés] Iniesta, [Andrea] Pirlo up close.
"They all make things simple for their team. They make their whole team play well with little things that don't always get noticed.
"They reflect on what's happening and take action to make life easier for guys around them.
"But if you look at Ronaldo when he was in Manchester and then at the Ronaldo who became the best player in the world, you can see his game has changed. His game became more concrete.
"I've read a lot of things [Ronaldo] has said about Paul Scholes and how he trained. Everyone talked about Scholes as being extraordinary, but not because he was out there doing dummies.
"By keeping things simple, he made himself special. I think Ronaldo learned from players like that.
"I like to watch teams who play well, ball on the floor, ball to feet, playing well as a collective.
"Napoli, in recent years, have played beautiful football. But a title, a cup, celebrating with your team, making the fans happy, that's the reward for all the hard work you put in. Something you get to keep.
"When you play well and you don't win, in the end, you get tired. You've lost something. You've lost time.
"The Champions League has always been important for Juventus. It is an objective for us to reach the end, to win the whole thing.
Guess Pjanic is having another one of his good games.
how many good games tho?
He's had some great away performances for us in the CL.
He has matured a lot. The team ran out of steam in the second, and so did he, but he did have some good moments in the end.
His passing and vision is supreme, the way he just glimpses over his shoulder briefly and then hits a perfect 50 meter pass. His first time pass towards Cancelo (after receiving the ball from Szczesny) which opened up a counterattack was ridiculous. He's not as good as Pirlo but not far off either.
Defensively he's become a lot tougher recently. He was making tackles and won the ball back several times today.
Overall, a great performance from a great player.
He shows up only for important games.
Key player tonight. We needed a big game from him, and that's exactly what we got.
The legend of 100m Mire lol.
He was okay, nothing amazing.
Yeah, in 1st half pretty much. Your avg Pjanic performance.
Then poor in 2nd half.
The "great performance" comments are just lol.
Impressed with his first half. He has stepped up the last few games. But seems like he really went out of steam second half, where Pogba got much more in control.
The whole team looked gassed out in the second half. It's October though, so it doesn't matter much atm.
I could not understand the man marking selections this game. He defended pogba on set pieces, matuidi was standing with lukaku. Are they crazy? One pogba header was sooo predictable just because pjanic was marking him.


If you are like most educators, you agree with the idea of providing intensive intervention for students with the most intractable academic and behavior problems. The question you may be asking is, how do I find the time? Intensive intervention requires time for planning and delivering individualized instruction, as well as time for collecting and analyzing progress monitoring and diagnostic data, developing intervention plans, and making changes to plans when needed.
One approach to intensifying an intervention as part of the DBI process is to increase the length or frequency of intervention sessions. Although it is important to consider whether a student needs additional time in an intervention (e.g., the intervention sessions are too brief or too infrequent), adding time to an existing intervention session may not be possible. Educators may need to think flexibly about how they plan and schedule instruction, both within existing intervention time and across the school day, to maximize efficiency and create more opportunities for students to respond to instruction and receive feedback. This guide includes strategies that educators can consider when trying to determine how to find the time for this intensification within the constraints of busy school schedules. Supplemental resources, planning questions, and example schedules are also provided.

Con il termine meteorologia aeronautica si intende la branca della meteorologia applicata al controllo del traffico aereo ovvero allo studio e monitoraggio continuo delle condizioni meteorologiche favorevoli o sfavorevoli che possono impattare sulla navigazione aerea degli aeromobili, civili e militari, durante l'intera fase di volo (decollo, volo e atterraggio).

Descrizione

Essa fa uso di tecniche di previsione meteorologica di breve scadenza come il nowcasting grazie all'uso di stazioni meteorologiche dotate dei consueti strumenti meteorologici (termometro, barometro, igrometro, anemometro ecc...), del radar meteorologico e del SODAR installati negli aeroporti e/o direttamente sui velivoli in volo. Il servizio è in genere fornito all'interno di servizi del traffico aereo e offerto da enti dedicati (es. in Italia l'Aeronautica Militare e l'ENAV).

Casi tipici di condizioni meteorologiche particolarmente impattanti e sfavorevoli per il volo di un aeromobile sono ad esempio quelli del forte vento e del wind shear durante le fasi di decollo e soprattutto atterraggio e quello della turbolenza in volo, specie all'interno di sistemi perturbati presenti sulle rotte aeree di navigazione, avendo questi un impatto diretto sulla stabilità del volo e sulla resistenza meccanica dell'aereo.

Meno gravi sono invece i rischi connessi all'elettricità atmosferica ovvero ai fulmini potendo infatti considerare l'aeromobile come una tipica gabbia di Faraday o i casi di nebbia e maltempo durante l'atterraggio potendo questo essere gestito attraverso strumenti automatici a bordo del velivolo come l'Instrument landing system. Altro caso critico è la presenza di neve, ghiaccio, gelicidio sulle ali di un aeromobile o sulla pista dell'aeroporto, oppure i rischi legati al bird strike. Casi di estremo maltempo (es. nubifragi, tempeste di neve o vento) possono portare alla chiusura temporanea degli aeroporti relativamente alle fasi di decollo e atterraggio degli aeromobili.
