The FWO is keen on promoting international collaboration as a driving force for excellence. That is why the FWO signs agreements with a number of countries for the funding of potential exchange projects.
TOURNESOL is a scientific exchange program supported by FWO and the Embassy of France in Brussels and supports travel grants for junior researchers in the framework of selected scientific projects. The goal of such TOURNESOL grants is to further sustain and expand the collaborations between Flanders and France.
The funding covers travel and accommodation expenses of junior researchers with a maximum of 2.000 euro per project per year (on Flemish side as well as on French side).
This call will be launched every two years. Next call: 2021.
Consortia that were awarded funding in the previous call (submission: 2017 - start projects: 2018) are not elegible for funding in this call.
As Principal Investigator of the Flemish research team, you hold a PhD.
a hospital with an academic character recognized as research center in the Flemish Community as scientific staff.
At Flemish side only predoctoral researchers or postdoctoral researchers (with less than 10 years postdoctoral experience) can make use of the funding to cover travel towards and accommodation expenses in France.
You must submit your project proposal simultaneously to FWO and Campus France.
In a first phase, the submitted proposals will be evaluated separately by Flemish and French experts. At FWO the evaluation will be done by the CDP.
In a second phase, the final funding decision will be taken during a joint committee between FWO and Campus France. Proposal must have been evaluated positively on both the French and Flemish sides in order to be fundable.
This guide contains all conditions and procedures to apply for a project within the framework of the TOURNESOL programme.
From July 1, flight- or train tickets in the frame of an FWO grant, can only be booked through a travel agency authorized by the FWO (Uniglobe Smart Travel Ghent and Omnia Travel). Bookings through another travel agency will not be reimbursed by FWO.

What is Kratom?admin2019-10-21T01:11:33+00:00
Botanical Information
Kratom goes by a lot of common names including ketum, kratum, thang, thom, biak and kakuam, but all refer to the scientific plant species mitragyna speciosa. Belonging to the same species as the coffee tree (Rubiaceae), tropical kratom trees grow indigenously to Southeast Asian countries including Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Myanmar. The tree itself can grow up to an astounding 50 feet tall with over a 15 foot span. The tree mostly grows in rainforest areas but has also been known to grow in swampy regions of Africa as well. The tree has yellow flowers while the leaf has an oval looking shape and is typically darker green in nature making it hard to miss. Multiple shadings of the leaf have been noted over the course of different seasons. Growing the tree is very hard to do given its large size and sensitive conditions needed to promote proper growth, so it is recommended to buy from a trusted kratom supplier.
Kratom has been used by natives of Southeast Asia for quite some time as an herbal supplement. Traditionally kratom has been used by laborers of the region as a mild stimulant to cope with the locations difficult jobs and hard burdens of work. They chewed the leaves to give them added energy provide relief to strained muscles. One of the earliest known mentions of the botanical herb was by a dutch botanist, Pieter Korthals in 1839. Resembling the shape of a Bishop's miter, he coined the tree Mitragyna.
Over 25 alkaloids have been detected in the plant, 3 of the most popular being mitragynine, 7-hydroxymitragynine and epicatechin. Pharmacology studies show that the herb presents opioid-like activity in animals. Chemical composition varies due to the age of the tree, environment and the time it is harvested with alkaloid content typically ranging from 0.5% to 1.5%. Kratom is known to inhibit electrically stimulated ileum and vas deferens smooth muscular contraction. Through binding affinity to opiod receptors, the herb inhibits gastric secretion and reduces pain response.
Kratom has been reported to produce energizing and also sedative effects. In low doses, it has been known to produce stimulating and energetic effects with users reporting increased alertness, talkativeness and high social behavior. At high doses, kratom offers a more sedative effect with euphoric-like tendencies. Effects begin within 2-5 minutes after ingestion and will last anywhere from 2 to 6 hours.
Phoriakratom.com specializes in the manufacturing of kratom capsules, extract, topicals and a range of other kratom infused products. All of our kratom is grown and harvested from Southeast Asia.

Uhličitan olovnatý je bílá, jedovatá, anorganická látka bez zápachu a chuti se vzorcem PbCO3. Tato látka se v přírodě vyskytuje v nerostu zvaném cerusit.

Výroba
Tato látka se vyrábí průmyslově reakcí ve vodě rozpustných olovnatých solí s uhličitanem sodným. Příkladem těchto solí jsou dusičnan olovnatý (drahá, ale velice snadná výroba), octan olovnatý či chlorid olovnatý (není moc dobře rozpustný). Reakce probíhá dle rovnice:
Pb+II (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) → 2Na+I (aq) + PbCO3 (s)

Reakce
Tato látka se při zahřívání nad 315 °C rozpadá na oxid uhličitý a oxid olovnatý dle rovnice:
PbCO3 —t→ CO2 + PbO
Podobně jako ostatní uhličitany, reaguje se silnými kyselinami, jako kyselina chlorovodíková či kyselina dusičná a jinými, za vzniku příslušných solí, vody a oxidu uhličitého.

Využití
Ve dnešní době je využití uhličitanu olovnatého kvůli jeho toxicitě redukováno na minimum, nejdůležitější využití je v chemickém průmyslu, nicméně dříve se tato látka používala jako pigment do barev a líčidel. Používala se nejčastěji v kombinaci s jinými látkami, např. směs uhličitanu a hydroxidu olovnatého byla nazývána olovnatá běloba.

Bezpečnost
Uhličitan olovnatý je nerozpustný ve vodě, proto by teoreticky, podobně jako například síran olovnatý či sulfid olovnatý měl projít tělem bez větších následků. Problém však je, že tato látka pro požití reaguje s kyselinou chlorovodíkovou v žaludku za vzniku rozpustného chloridu olovnatého, který způsobuje otravu olovem. Proto se při práci s touto látkou musí zacházet nanejvýš opatrně.

Home India-Pakistan News Pulwama Attack Terror Group Jaish-e-Mohammad Banned in Pakistan
Pulwama Attack Terror Group Jaish-e-Mohammad Banned in Pakistan
EurAsian Times Desk
Pakistan highlights the fact that terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad was banned in 2002 and is serving legal sanctions. Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad took responsibility for the Pulwama attack which killed more than 40 Indian CRPF troopers.
Indian Army Knows The Exact Location of 12 Terror Launch Pads in Pakistan; But Can They Strike?
India has highlighted Pakistan's role in using terrorism as an instrument of state policy and slammed Pakistan for stating that it had no role in the Pulwama attack carried out by Pakistan-based terror group JeM.
Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Raveesh Kumar emphasised saying, "JeM has claimed responsibility for the attack. The organisation and its leadership are located in Pakistan." On the other side, Pakistan's Foreign Office spokesperson Mohammad Faisal rejected India's allegation that Pakistan was behind the attack.
The Pakistani official said that Pakistan rejected India's allegations because these were made within a short time from the attack and without carrying out any investigations. "These knee-jerk and pre-conceived accusations were nevertheless consistent with well-rehearsed tactics from Indian playbook after such incidents in the past," Faisal added.
Responding to Indian statements about "JeM claims of responsibility" and purported "video of the attacker", Faisal questioned the selective and self-serving standards of India.
"On the one hand, India accepted the unverified social media content as the gold standard but was not ready to accept the confessions by its national Kulbhushan Jadhav for perpetrating violence in Pakistan", said Pakistan's Foreign Office spokesperson.

Many higher-end grocery stores now sell buffalo meat right alongside beef in the butcher case. Buffalo has a mild, delicious flavor and has only half the cholesterol of beef. This garlic-studded buffalo roast recipe is a great way to enjoy this healthy meat.
Make 8 evenly spaced incisions with a parry knife, about 2 inches deep, in the roast. Push in the pieces of garlic as far as possible. Rub the roast with the oil and coat evenly with salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan and drape over the prosciutto or bacon. You can use butcher twine to secure the meat on top for presentation purposes, but this won't affect the flavor.
Roast the buffalo until a meat thermometer reads 130 F for medium rare. Buffalo meat has less fat than beef and may get dry if cooked beyond medium.

The Latest: UN chief: 'The tide is turning' on climate
AP – September 24, 2019
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The Latest on the Climate Action Summit taking place at the United Nations (all times local):
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says "the tide is turning" as a summit dedicated to combating climate change has concluded.
Guterres on Monday listed 77 countries that committed to carbon neutrality by 2050, though those countries combined produce far less than half the world's carbon dioxide emissions.
Seventy nations also pledged to do more to fight climate change, 100 business leaders promised to join the green economy and one-third of the global banking sector signed up to green goals.
"Action by action the tide is turning," Guterres said. "But we have a long way to go. We are not yet there."
Still, the large number of coal power plants that are scheduled to be built is "a looming threat," he said, repeating his call for no new coal plants to be built after next year.
Sixteen young activists including Sweden's Greta Thunberg have filed a formal U.N. complaint about governments' lack of action on climate.
In Monday's complaint, filed with the U.N. group that protects children's rights, the youths from a dozen countries and ranging in ages from 8 to 17, contend their rights are being violated not just because of severe weather, but also because of lack of food and water and an increase in refugees.
The UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child allows youth or adults to directly appeal to the United Nations if they feel a country is violating children's rights.
The activists filed the complaint as world leaders met at a climate summit sponsored by the United Nations.
Businesses and charities also got in on the climate act, at times even going bigger than some of the major nations whose leaders were meeting at the United Nations.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced late Monday that his foundation, along with The World Bank and some European governments, would provide $790 million to 300 million small farmers across the globe adapt to climate change.
The Gates foundation would foot $310 million of that.
"The world can still prevent the absolute worst effects of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and developing new technologies and sources of energy," Gates said. "But the effects of rising temperatures are already under way."
As world leaders talked about doing something to counter climate change, the globe on Monday hit another mark indicating a warming climate.
Arctic sea ice shrank to 1.6 million square miles (4.15 million square kilometers) for the annual summer low, which tied the second lowest mark on record.
"There is no evidence of any recovery of the sea ice,' said Mark Serreze, director of the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center. "We are heading toward a seasonally ice-free Arctic ocean."
The announcement came as dozens of world leaders met at a climate summit sponsored by the United Nations.
As China criticized the United States for pulling out of the 2015 Paris agreement, Russia announced that it had ratified the pact, which it had signed already.
Outside experts say they are hearing a lot of talk at a U.N.-sponsored climate conference, but none of the promised action needed to keep future warming to a few tenths of a degree.
They say the words from leaders aren't adding up to the dramatic changes the world needs.
Bill Hare, who follows national emissions and promises for Climate Action Tracker, called what was said "deeply disappointing."
Economist John Reilly, co-director of MIT's Joint Center for Global Change says he hears promises but isn't seeing many accomplishments.
David Waskow, international climate chief at the World Resources Institute, said smaller nations are making commitments, but the big carbon polluters the U.S., China, the European Union and others which make up the majority of emissions still aren't stepping up.
In a none-too-subtle jibe at Trump's plans to withdraw from the 2015 Paris climate agreement, Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi, said countries "must honor our commitments and follow through on the Paris Agreement."
"The withdrawal of certain parties will not shake the collective goal of the world community," Wang said to applause.
He made the remarks Monday at climate summit sponsored by the United Nations where more than 60 world leaders were scheduled to speak.
Earlier, Trump made a quick, unscheduled stop at the conference, listened quietly and left without saying anything.
While presidents and premiers talked about what they hoped to do within their own borders, French President Emmanuel Macron reminded his colleagues that they need to include climate change in their trade and finance policies.
Macron said countries should not import goods that increase carbon pollution nor fund polluting plants in other countries.
He also begged other nations to increase their pledges to the Green Climate Fund, which helps poorer nation with climate issues. France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Norway, Denmark and Sweden have recently doubled their pledges.
"We are now at $7 billion," Macron said. "The target is $10 billion to make for the United States withdrawal" and he then suggested America should reconsider adding money to other leaders' applause.
President Donald Trump has made an unscheduled brief stop at the U.N.'s Climate Action summit.
With the lights down and the program under way, Trump spent about 15 minutes at the summit, but did not speak.
He listened attentively as German Chancellor Merkel and India's Narenda Modi spoke before leaving.
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the UN's special climate envoy, thanked Trump for stopping by. He added that it might prove useful to Trump "when you formulate climate policy" to a bit of laughter and applause on the General Assembly floor.
The United Nations is kicking off an all-day session to prevent a warming world from reaching even more dangerous levels.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres opened the Climate Action Summit on Monday by saying: "Earth is issuing a chilling cry: Stop."
Guterres told world leaders that it's not a time to negotiate but to act to make the world carbon neutral by 2050. He wants to limit global temperature increases to a few more tenths of a degree, and he said the world can do it.
More than 60 world leaders are set to speak, kicking off with leaders from New Zealand, the hard-hit Marshall Islands, India and Germany.
The United States is not on the agenda, but a spokeswoman said President Donald Trump may pop in.

"London City Anthem" by Sonz of Thunder UK is an infectious Reggae and Dancehall inspired tune which celebrates life in England's capital. A message of solidarity and unity, this track and it's creators choose to take a view of their city which is inclusive and optimistic. Like so much of the best Reggae and Dancehall music, "London City Anthem" was inspired by challenging times. Written in response to the recent terror attacks at the London Bridge and Finsbury Park, "London City Anthem" is a song born of darkness which encourages audiences to reach for the light.
Natives of Northwestern London, brothers Shane and Dean Brown are inspired to create socially conscious music which moves bodies and generates thoughtful dialogue around important themes guiding our modern society. Choosing Reggae, Dancehall, Hip-Hop, RnB and Gospel as their creative tools, the brothers create music which inspires hearts and minds to see the opportunity in the world around them.
The Sonz of Thunder UK have a history of drawing inspiration from socially charged and politically challenging times. Following the death of South African President Nelson Mandela, the brothers Brown knew they had to write a song which would celebrate his life.
The musical production and video treatment for their track "Mandela" is considered a creative high point for the group. From the unique sound effects to the uplifting messages of unity and solidarity, "Mandela" is a vibrant musical celebration of the life of one of the most heroic individuals of all times. Nelson Mandela left an enduring legacy of freedom and opportunity on our world and the Sonz of Thunder UK have been able to champion this history and distill it into rhythmic dancehall inspired package.
Released on New River Sound Music, "London City Anthem" is a pulsing tribute to one of the world's most important cities. Building on past successes such as "Mandela" and "More to Life", "London City Anthem" promises a bright future for Sonz of UK Thunder and the city they love so much. Be sure to check out timely lyrics and bouncing island vibes of Sonz of Thunder UK's new single "London City Anthem"!

Cosmetic Dentistry Sheboygan WI | Smile makeovers with crowns, veneers, whitening & white fillings!
We Can Change Your Smile!
We know you want to feel good about yourself, and having the appearance of your smile at its very best is part of feeling good. We offer excellent preventive as well as restorative techniques that can give you a great smile! These modern techniques are easy, less time-consuming, and very affordable! So come in and ask us what we can do for you with veneers, crowns, bonding, and whitening. There is no reason we can't change your smile to make it as beautiful as you have always dreamed.
A dazzling smile is a healthy-looking smile that can be easily obtained with today's whitening methods. We offer a professional bleaching process that can return your teeth to their whitest in 2 – 3 weeks. Our office will create custom whitening trays in our lab, and you follow through with the instructions and supplies we provide you. You will be very pleased with the results from this safe and effective technique.
Sometimes a tooth is too worn down or broken or damaged to return to full functionality with a simple filling. Instead, a crown will be the right solution to restore it and even give it added strength. We use the best dental materials to make your crown. They look so natural, they will blend in with the rest of your teeth.
A New Smile in Only Two Visits?
Yes! We can correct unsightly gaps, severe stains, or misshapen teeth in two visits. Porcelain veneers can give a straight and even look to your teeth, as if you have had months of orthodontics. These veneers are thin and made of the best dental ceramic. They are bonded to your teeth to give you a uniform look and an attractive smile. They are durable and function just like natural teeth.
If you have only one or two teeth that need attention due to cracks, chips, or general wear, veneers do the trick to conceal the problem with a natural-looking tooth. Veneers come in a variety of shades and are made to blend in with your other teeth.
For years, the silver-mercury amalgam has been the standard filling material used in dental practices. They are effective, affordable, and covered by insurance in most situations. Our practice also offers modern, state-of-the-art restorations that are a natural looking white, contain no metals, and can actually strengthen your teeth. The biggest reason many of our patients are choosing the white bonded fillings has to do with the way they look—nearly invisible, compared to the metal filling. They also bond very tightly with the healthy part of the tooth to decrease the chance of future decay. We are proud to offer both alternatives, and will be happy to discuss which option is best for you.
With our complimentary consultation to discuss options for a smile makeover, you can see for yourself how teeth whitening and other cosmetic solutions will give you a gorgeous smile. Let us show you your dream coming true by simply calling (920) 452-8042.


My son and I have been doing Pilates with a mums and bubs group at North Avoca Surf Club for the last few months and we both love it. It's so beneficial post pregnancy for core strength and it's relaxing for the body and the mind to be by the ocean with other mums and bubs. Michelle is very helpful and encouraging as well as offering a challenging yet well paced pilates class. We use a variety of props and the classes are always varied. The bubs also really seem to find her voice captivating and relaxing. It is genuinely the best hour of my week and we both love going to Pilates. One other mums bubs started to roll in class and our little man started to crawl. Not sure if this has anything to do with the class or not but it is very interesting... They watch us move our bodies and learn to move their own! I leave every class feeling refreshed and energized!
Choosing one of the many different classes every week, I look forward to my Pilates class with either Michelle or Simon at the Terrigal or Avoca surf clubs. They are excellent instructors, the views are terrific and the atmosphere, friendly and welcoming. The classes are challenging, but achievable by all levels of participant, and you do what you feel comfortable with. I have felt a great improvement to my core fitness, which has helped to strengthen my back. With different apparatus every week to exercise different areas, the classes offer variety with expert tuition you can trust. I highly recommend people to give it a try- why not come and join us?
I am not the type to wear leotards but if I don't do Pilates each week then my body really misses it. Michelle and Simon are very experienced teachers and offer a range of movements and exercises to suit all body types always in a friendly non judgmental manner. I like the ambience of the Friday 9:30am class at Terrigal surf club, a friendly and supportive group, the room over looks the beach and ocean and close to plenty of coffee shops where we can catch up after class.
I first came to Pilates in 2006 after it was recommended by a physiotherapist following an attack of sciatica. I have found the exercises very beneficial under the well qualified instruction of Michelle and Simon and have continued Pilates until this day.
After sitting at a desk all week, I look forward to my Thursday evening class at Nth Avoca Surf Club. An hour of stretching and strengthening leaves my body feeling calm and stress free and my lower back and neck feeling so much better. My flexibility has vastly improved and I am now a lot more aware of how to correct my posture. I would recommend Michelle and Simon's classes to anyone looking to improve their posture, strengthen their back and stomach muscles and increase their flexibility, and the surf club venues are fantastic !
Ten years of Pilates sessions with Simon and Michelle have improved my posture, increased my core strength, balance and flexibility, all things very important as one ages. I started Pilates with Simon because of frequent back and neck pain and the physio and doctor both suggested it would help. With improved posture and core strength the back and neck problems are a thing of the past. Simon keeps the class interesting with constantly changing exercises and the use of small equipment. He works the whole body and one comes away with a sense of well being.
It's such a great way to start the week with an hour of Pilates. I have been going to Michelles Wamberal surf club class for the past four years and have definitely noticed the difference in my posture and core strength, my flexibilty has also improved. Simon allows you to work at your own pace while still gaining the benefits. I always feel relaxed and wonderful after the class. Not only do you have amazing views from the surf club venues but the café next door serves a great coffee and of course there is the option for a stroll along the beach before or after the class. I would highly recommend Michelle's Pilates for those who want to improve all aspects of their health.
Seven years ago my lower back was in such bad shape and so painful that I struggled to even get out of the car. I went to a massage therapist who straightened me out in three very painful sessions. The therapist told me I had two choices, I could come back to him every three months or I could go to Pilates. He recommended Michelle's Pilates Place from personal experience. I took his advice, began Pilates with Michelle and Simon and haven't looked back. My wife joined me three years later and since then we have been free of back problems and have greater strength and flexibility. Our weekly class with Michelle or Simon is all it takes coupled with our walking and swimming. As we head towards our seventies, it's great to know that we can maintain our core fitness and do the activities we want to do.
Something special happens when you keep turning up to Simon and Michelle's Pilates class with willingness to reconnect with core strength and quietening of all the demands of the busy world. My body has completely changed – it is stronger, a little leaner and more connected than ever before. The reconnection with core strength and breath engages a sense of clarity which therefore creates a space for peak performance in all areas of my life. It has even helped my skiing with great posture and core strength. Most importantly makes you feel really good and inspires you to keep turning up – it's truly remarkable for which I am extremely grateful.
Just give it a go, it's amazing!
I am a keen golfer who, on the advice of my son who is an Osteopath, started pilates two and a half years ago. He advised me to do this because of my problem-prone back. Pilates has been a very positive step towards strengthening my back muscles and abdomen thus improving my posture and core strength and I also feel that I have a body awareness that I've never experienced before. As a result of my improved strength and flexibility I have reduced my golf handicap.
If getting in shape is one of your goals, then you should look no further than Michelle's Pilates Place. I have just started my 6th year with Michelle and Simon and I have found their Pilates classes to be so beneficial. Not only do I feel great but my body is stronger, more flexible and my posture has never been better. My breathing and core strength has also improved and I feel so stretched and supple. Unlike other Pilates courses I have attended in the past, I find Michelle and Simon's sessions very personal as the classes are not too large and each student gets individual attention. To top it off, the courses are held at either North Avoca, Avoca or Terrigal Surf Club so you can tone up whilst enjoying the beautiful vista over the beach. So whether you are young or not so young, I would highly recommend Michelle's Pilates Place, as you'll discover a type of exercise that you actually want to do because it makes you feel so great!
I first went along to a pilates class just over two years ago. I didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised to spend the first moments of the class listening to the instructor about the basics and history of pilates. I was so impressed with the first two classes where the instructor not only explained and demonstrated the movements but also corrected them that I suggested to my husband that perhaps he should join. He did which proves that men can do it! Now two years later we still attend class. Every class is different, with different equipment used, we go twice a week and look and feel much better. Our posture, movement, core stability and strength have improved and we are much more aware of our bodies. We love it!
As a chronic asthmatic, I have my condition monitored annually. After less than a year of pilates (with Simon and Michelle)*, my peak flow jumped by over 40 points - an unheard of increase that could be explained by no other lifestyle changes. The focus on core strength and controlled breathing has had the bonus result of increasing my lung capacity.


Surprise! I?m doing it again. Riding for Padres Pedal the Cause San Diego to raise funds for cancer research at the 3 NIH NCI-Cancer Centers in San Diego, one of which is the Salk Institute for Biological Research, where my wife, Suzanne and I USED to work. We?ve retired, but not from this event. You have been kind enough to support my rides. This year I will ride a mere 55 miles. While I am obviously getting old and lazy, cancer isn't. It's always new and aggressive and ready to take our loved ones. Help us save some of them and one day put an end to bag of diseases that afflict 1 in 4 people in their lifetime - that includes you and me.
Last year Pedal the Cause San Diego raised $2,031,969 to fund innovative and life-saving cancer research that will stay here in San Diego. Team Salk raised $23,652 and received $250,000 back for grants to Salk scientists. We leveraged your donations by a factor of 10! Let's do it again. But I need you to do that while I ride, so would you like to join me again and donate?
I have committed to raise $1750 for cancer research. Please help me on this journey to fund research for a cure by donating to my ride on Team SCC (Team Salk Cancer Center).
We seek the answers to the questions that lead to the cures.
In 1974 I graduated from UCSD and rushed across the street to the Salk Institute where I took a position in the Tumor Virology Laboratory (TVL). I am still working at the Salk Institute 43 years later. My wife, Suzanne, also began working as a lab assistant in TVL at the Salk in 1974 and is now the Salk Cancer Center Scientific Administrator. We have seen cancer research progress from trying to understand the underlying mechanisms of cell growth that lead to cancer, a monumental task in itself, to being able to manipulate some of these processes to defeat some cancers. But cancer is a single word describing a host of genetic and molecular disorders. The more we learn the more we know how much more there is to learn but the road map to success becomes clearer each day. To find the cures we need to keep the knowledge coming, which means we need to fund the research.
Team SCC rides hoping our commitment to the science will inspire you to support us. Your donations help to continue the research that will lead to a world without cancer.

STP Shipyard Palma reinforces its security policy by training in case of emergency
The safety protocol of STP Shipyard Palma includes annual courses and emergency drills that are already marked in the calendar so that all the personnel is prepared to act quickly and effectively in case of fire.
Last week, one of these annual scheduled performances was held. Throughout the morning, seamen, ORP (Occupational Risk Prevention), environment and travelift staff received theoretical courses, very necessary to refresh knowledge, as well as practical exercises with hoses and fire extinguishers, culminating with an intense fire drill with simulation of spills, man overboard and a victim on board.
The attractiveness of a fire drill is that it is not known exactly when it will start, and while the activity in the shipyard was normal, the voice of alarm by a fire on a boat was given by a person passing by. From that moment, they started a protocol of action in which each person had its role defined and must be respected to the maximum so as not to hinder the activity of the others, since it would aggravate the situation.
A very important aspect in case of fire is the immediate action, and since STP performs a large safety commitment, it has its own fire truck in its facilities to act quickly, so that when the firefighters arrive the situation is already controlled.
The fire drill came up with some surprises too, because in addition to the fire that the personnel of STP had to control, one of them fell overboard as he crossed the boat in flames verifying the presence of victims. When the shipyard's auxiliary vessel approached to provide assistance, they were able to verify the presence of spills from the boat originated by the fire, having to extend quickly the spill containment barriers. As a culmination of the drill, and when the fire began to die out, the firefighters rescued a fainted victim from the boat.
The drill counted on the collaboration of external entities such as the Firemen of Palma, the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands, the Balearic Port Police and the Guardia Civil, who have been invited in a timely manner, as it's usually done in each drill that takes place at STP Shipyard Palma.
Actions like this one reinforce the safety policy of STP Shipyard Palma as it is daily looking after it and thanks to this, it is one of the safest boatyards in Europe.

SEOUL, Apr. 15 (Korea Bizwire) — Banks in South Korea will fully open their payment network to fintech firms in December, officials said Monday, in a fresh effort to encourage development of new payment services and greater competition in the financial sector.
Currently, only banks can access the payment network, but even banks are allowed to process only transactions for accounts held with them. Although banks jointly launched a technology protocol in 2016 for an open banking system, only a small number of fintech firms can use the system, paying relatively high fees to do so.
If banks fully open their payment system to fintech firms, it will allow customers to use a single application to access their accounts at different banks and make payments.
Choi Seok-min, a senior official at the Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute, said banks will complete a computer network for the open banking system by October.
After a trial period, fintech firms will be able to fully access the opening banking system in December, according to Choi.
Fees charged to fintech firms for using the network will be lowered to one-tenth of the current level to ensure fair competition, Choi said.
South Korea's financial authorities have pledged to promote the fintech industry since the National Assembly passed bills last September on a "regulatory sandbox," in which fintech firms are allowed to experiment under amicable regulations.
The Korean government is also counting on fintech to reinvigorate its financial industry, which has been struggling with slow growth and thin margins.


According to NASA -- there've been thirty-two advanced civilizations throughout history that have completely disappeared under their own momentum. Evolution is momentous . . . it's evolutionary compassion that's required for a species to survive. Evolutionary compassion is a collective instinctual response . . . instinctual patterns that respond for the collective good. Human evolution has produced the addition of free will beyond these instincts. In order for humans to be successful, they must use these choices for the collective good . . . for compassion. Whenever there's been natural extinctions, it's been due to the changes in environments outpacing a species' ability to respond. With the history of human civilizations that have disappeared, there's been an entirely different factor involved. Whenever the priorities of a human culture have operated outside this evolutionary compassion -- this is when highly advanced cultures have literally vanished . . . it's happened thirty-two times that are known. Food and water are the common essentials of life, and all creatures have evolved within a balance between the need for these and their supply. This is where humans have become the exception. Tracing human extinctions, science has found, they've always involved the mishandling of food and water . . . either in crop rotation choices; appropriate distribution channels, and more recently now, price speculation with industrial farming. All other creatures share what they have when there's a need to be met . . . this is the natural order . . . this is evolutionary compassion. When this fundamental compassion -- required for the species to survive -- goes missing . . . the root cause for human extinction is in place. Our prayer is that you are part of a new movement of survivalists . . . not one of hoarding supplies and arming to compete, but one that's about growing supplies, sharing and cooperating. Our prayer is that you provide this alternative to human nature; that you make compassion a primary example in your life, and that you teach this new human nature to the children . . . join the re-evolution.

Prasa asks Treasury to let it off the hook for R1.8bn debt owed to Transnet
The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) yesterday implored parliamentarians in the transport portfolio committee to lobby the National Treasury to let it off the hook for an outstanding R1.8 billion debt it owes to Transnet.
Acting Group CEO Hishaam Emeran said: "The initial amount was R2.3bn, but we have settled some of it through an off-set agreement from what Transnet had to pay us. This money is required as a matter of urgency. We have made submissions through the Department of Transport to the National Treasury. We are awaiting feedback."
Emeran told the committee, which was chaired by Lisa Mangcu, that Prasa ran 90% of its routes on Transnet tracks and was hard put to afford the access and service fees levied by its counterpart.
Prasa, which said it currently carries only about 30% capacity, said it had made a R900 million loss so far this year.
It said it spent 75% of its budget on variable costs of running the business, which included paying Transnet service and access fees as well as the purchase of diesel to run trains.
MPs were aghast that Prasa did not have its own capacity to generate revenue without state intervention and that it had a mammoth task to rebuild infrastructure destroyed through theft and vandalism.
Prasa told MPs that it was setting up a joint steering committee with Transnet to focus on the rehabilitation of the rail network as the latter's rail lines were also not in good shape and that a joint servicing approach would be ideal.
Emeran said Prasa would mimic Transnet in de-electrifying its network and run mostly diesel locomotives despite the higher cost because of the rampant theft and vandalism of electrical infrastructure.
The entity also told MPs of 99% of patronage lost. This as its operations have whittled down to two corridors from 21, with only 12 000 out of 4 million passengers remaining, an income shaved off from R228 million to R2.8m and a train fleet down to 99 trains from 6 600 – all of which has crumbled in the past 12 years.
Prasa currently runs only two corridors, Johannesburg to East London launched in December last year, and Johannesburg to Musina launched in September this year.
Prasa, which invested more than R3bn in buying AFRO Hybrid and AFRO 4000 trains in the now infamous "Tall Trains scandal", sits on the sidelines awaiting the resolution of the fight between its contracted supplier and the original manufacturer of the locomotives currently idling at a port in Valencia, Spain.
"The trains are still at a Valencia, Spain, harbour. It is a matter between the liquidators and the manufacturers of the locomotives. There is no parallel process over and above this at Prasa to acquire trains. It is critical that we get closure on the AFRO locomotives because there is no other process," Emeran said.
Prasa is looking at means to dispose through sales on the African continent of more than 4 500 coaches of the red and grey models to make way for the rolling stock it has acquired, which need modifications for local conditions.
Emeran told of the disposal by the liquidators of seven locomotives, which were sold at an aggregate of R10m each when between R40m and R50m had been expected.

Nineteen neutralizing murine monoclonal antibodies against poliovirus type 1, including representatives reacting with each of the antigenic sites on the virion, were tested for their abilities to neutralize the virus either before or after attachment to susceptible cells. All antibodies neutralized unattached virus; six had reasonable titers of postabsorption neutralization (PAN). Experiments with antibodies lacking PAN activity showed that Fc-specific rabbit anti-mouse antibodies could confer PAN activity. PAN was shown to involve the prevention of the cell-mediated conversion of virus to 135S and 80S particles. Evidence that one of the PAN-positive antibodies probably bound bivalently to preabsorbed virions, whereas a PAN-negative antibody bound monovalently, is presented. Two PAN-positive antibodies were added to an excess of virus in suspension, and only one antibody caused the virus to aggregate.

At MatterHackers HQ, we've been doing some redecorating, and as part of that we are creating 3D prints to hang and display for all visitors or meetup attendees to see. We want them to be unique and something that anyone can design without having a certification with some 3D modeling software. With the Design Tools and Design Apps in MatterControl, it's still really easy to jump in and start 3D modeling. I'm going to take an idea and wholly model, slice, and print it using MatterControl to show you just how easy it is.
Since the MatterHackers logo is a hexagon and hexagons pattern really well, that makes the most sense as a base shape for all the 3D prints. Using the cylinder primitive, I can change the number of sides to 6, effectively making a hexagonal prism. To keep some consistency between all the tiles, I've figured out that a hexagon measuring 150mm from tip to tip is big enough to have a good canvas to model on and yet small enough to fit on most printers.
Prisms are essentially low-poly cylinders which means the cylinder primitive is very versatile.
Now that I have a base, I want to add a raised border to the top of it. The easiest way to do that, is to create a six sided ring, pick how tall I want it, make it the same diameter of 150mm, determine the thickness I want, then raise it up 2mm to rest on top of the base.
A ring created in the same way as the cylinder means it is a perfect outline for the plate.
Using the align tool, I can select that both the base and the ring are centered along both the X and Y axis.
Using align, I can make sure the two shapes are centered and offset from each other to be perfectly joined.
From here I want to throw some text onto the base; the text primitive makes that really easy. I can change the actual text or the font to whatever I want and the object will update as I make changes.
The text can be changed to say whatever you want, even after creation.
Now here is where the advanced tools come into play; I am going to apply the "fit to bounds" operation to the text so I can edit it in a very specific way. If I were to change the text to say anything different, then the dimensions would change to keep everything in the same point font; if I used just my first, middle, and last name, then the length of my name would extend passed the edge of the base. By using "fit to bounds" I can specify that no matter what I do to the text, it has to remain within the boundaries I have set. In a sense, this is what makes all the Design Apps work and be configurable.
Fit to Bounds means that if I ever change the text, it will always fit within the bounding box.
With the text set to be "fit to bounds" I can now align it to be centered along the X axis, and then instead of directly center on Y, I am going to add an offset by clicking the "Advanced:" switch. This ensures that the text is a specific distance off of center without shifting right or left on X as well.
Advanced align tools can keep the text in the right place.
By dragging in an image (or clicking insert at the top) I can convert that image into an extruded shape. Every image is a little different, so you'll have to play with the options to get MatterControl to select just what you want to be extruded. In this case, my image is my old cosplay logo: a phoenix.
You can drag and drop in any image and MatterControl will convert it into an extrudable shape.
Now that I have extruded the logo, I am going to do exactly what I did to the text, that way the image is always in the same place if I ever want to switch it up with a different image or logo.
Extrude the image to your specified height and that'll complete this Mosaic Tile.
And there we go! This hexagon tile is finished, ready to print, and perfectly sized to hang on the wall with the rest of the tiles. I have uploaded this tile as a Design App, so you can go in, modify the text and image, and have your own tile you can print out and send in!
Of course, this Design App isn't the only way to get your print displayed at MatterHackers; we will have an article in the future documenting what specifications these tiles need to have to hang them up so you can utilize whatever modeling software you have at your disposal.
I hope this has all given you a better idea of how Design Tools and Design Apps work and has better enabled you to go about creating your own models in MatterControl and get right to printing functional or decorative 3D prints. Once you've created something on your own or with a Design App, share it with us using the #MatterControl tag on social media.


Braeden was so excited about school, but once he got there and it dawned on him that he was going to be left in a new environment, with routines he didn't know and a whole lot of 'noise', he started to worry.
"Yes, it is noisy isn't it?"
"Yes, I know you are hungry and don't know when you are allowed to eat"
"Yes, it is a new and different place to be isn't it?"
But it just wasn't quite enough.
It is definitely ok to cry. It is definitely ok to feel overwhelmed on your first day. And it is definitely ok to express that by letting the tears roll down your face.
He was fine, by the way.
I am happy his first day went well. I was once a kindergarten teacher. Oh how different it was being on the other side...the mom side! And that was with Toller. I will be a wreck with Magnolia!!! I cannot even think about it.
I was actually ok with Ryley when he started school. I am so much worse now with Braeden!


Developing original products or vastly improving existing ones is a tedious period. The hope, of course, is that one of these ideas will be your next big thing and result in the marketplace. Inventors spend countless hours thinking and designing, keeping their inventor's logs, and checking into already approved patents to make sure their idea is truly original. Then, they spend hundreds to thousands of dollars to protect their idea with a clair. But then what? Fewer than 2% of all patented products ever turn a profit. Though there are as many reasons for this as there are failed products, there several steps you can decide to use to improve the odds your product will succeed inside the marketplace.
As soon as you file your patent application, begin planning your manufacturing and distribution processes. Obviously, you the have to obtain your product made in volume, an individual also need a way to obtain it within your customers' cards. While it is feasible to manufacture and distribute your invention yourself, most inventors are less than interested in taking on that laborious task. Partnering with a business-focused colleague can be an excellent option, particularly the partnership will expand the odds of securing financing for open. There are also established manufacturing firms focusing on producing a wide variety of merchandise. Outsourcing your production often makes the most sense, both financially and logistically.
Other methods of manufacturing and distributing your invention include going a good invention broker to make those arrangements or selling the rights to your invention downright. In either case, do your research before pursuing these features. Evaluate any brokers you have decided you're by checking multiple references, checking utilizing Better Business Bureau, and searching for everything you can find about them on the internet. They are essential to offer you with proof their historical past for success upon request, so be sure to request it. Also look for brokers who work on contingency.they get compensated when goods gets convinced. Many scammer "inventors' marketing" firms require fixed fee payments to market your product. Avoid them, and absolutely don't pay an upfront fixed fee.
There are a few excellent inventors' websites with forums.a good in order to start to look into specific brokers or providers. If you are usually planning to sell your patent outright that means you can get back to the lab, investigation . homework for making sure you have grown to be a reasonable price and the experienced attorney negotiate the deal with you. Your patent law attorney should either ability to help or refer you to someone that may very well.
Whatever route you choose, you need evidence your product will be viable globe marketplace. Ought to critical to create at least one working model of your product. Any manufacturer, distributor, broker, or potential customer will in order to see what works odor it looks before they commit. Also, be sure you have filed for your targeted InventHelp patent services an individual decide to present necessary how to get a patent most people. Just filing for your personal patent (whether through the consistent or provisional application) provides patent pending protection.enough in order to it most unlikely that anyone will steal your conception.
Once own decided close to the right route for manufacturing and distributing your product, the serious marketing work begins. On-line product right in front of the actual target customers that will make use of it. Find them test it under regular and opposites. Ask for honest feedback and consider any changes that will make your invention even more desirable. If any changes are patentable, be sure to modify your application immediately. Don't count on the opinions of just buddies and family. Find as many members of your expected target market as you can and test, test, sample.
The marketability of your invention might be all basic factors: cost, value, durability, reliability, safety, ease of use, and also the direct benefits your customers receive. Your market testing should generally be focused on these factors. If your profit margin is simply low, or using people use this is inconvenient for InventHelp Intromark your customers, it's never allow any money. Use the testing to gather an honest assessment of one's product. Don't be discouraged by negative feedback, but seek out easy alterations or ways to promote that will downplay the criticisms. Don't give back up.

We have serviced this watch but have left everything else as we found it, it still has the original glass, it is a bit marked but that is its history.
If you are after an accurate time keeper then this is NOT the watch for you if you are after a classic antique this one is a beauty.
It measures 33mm in diameter.


Last Thursday and Friday I was in New York City courtesy of Brizo Faucet to take part in a product seminar, design competition, and to watch the a fashion show for next great American designer; Jason Wu. Outside of my senior year in High School, this is the only time I have been in New York. Brizo Faucet invited 18 individuals (including myself) up to take part in what turned out to be 2 extremely busy and very fun days. There were a handful of people that I have emailed or twittered with that came along and it was fun to connect with them.
Limo Guy: Hi, dis is limozeeen servess, I heer to peek yous up.
Me: Okay – great. Where are you?
Limo Guy: I is heer.
Me: Heer? Where is heer? Where are you at?
Limo Guy: I is at de airpoort.
Me: Yes, of course. Where at the airport are you?
Limo Guy: Dis is limozeeen sevess, I heer to peek yous up.
Obviously the limo guy and me worked things out. Shortly after I got to the hotel, I met Jody Brown (@INFILLnc) down in the hotel lobby before the entire group got together. He is a nice guy and he and I did some damage to ourselves little later when we went out exploring later Thursday night. However, the first thing we did as a group was to get together and meet our hosts, Brizo. We got to take a look at their product lines as well as get a sneak peek at some of the items that are currently working their way through design on their way to production. It takes approximately 24 months from initial design concept to being available to the public. Because of this length of time, Brizo, along with Judd Lord, Director of Industrial Design, and his crack team of designers spend a lot of time paying attention to trending and pattern language. They put on an impressive multi-media show and they showed us some pretty interesting, top secret items. It was all very hush hush, and we had to fill out no disclosure forms.
After getting some entertaining education and getting the opportunity to tell them what we thought about their current and future product line, we broke for dinner at a local restaurant just around the corner. Brizo had rented out the entire restaurant and we had the place to ourselves. Although it was not planned (or even intentional), among the people sitting at my table were Andrew Van Leeuwen and Kevin Eckert (the guys from Buildllc), and Jody Brown. We had a fun and spirited conversation that I can't possibly reprint here. Andrew and Kevin have spent a lot of time in New York so they took it upon themselves to make sure I saw some of the sights. They took us all down to the Meat Packing District and a couple of cab rides and 4 or 5 stops later, it's 3:30am and I … we … all have an 7:00am curtain call to get up and get to the design competition in the morning.
I got down to the the meeting room right on time (because I'm professional that way) and Brizo explained the design competition to us. We all had to use one of the suite of faucets that we had seen and reviewed the previous day, work with Kraftmaid cabinetry (represented there by Mark Johnson from Masco) and use SketchUp v8 to present our ideas and designs. Eventually we broke up into 4 teams of 4 and we got to work. (Yes, I know the math doesn't work. For some reason, some people didn't get out of bed this morning … you know who you are). Brizo announced that there would be prizes awarded to the winning team but they didn't tell us what the prize would actually be. Despite not knowing what we were working for, everyone really dug in and spent about 3.5 hours putting together a unified design – we were a competitive group and we wanted to win despite liking the other people who were with us.
Once we were finished with our design project, we headed out to the Jason Wu Fashion Show. All I can say is it was a day unlike any I have ever experienced in my life … let's just say that it involved a lot of money, naked women, two fist-fights and … wait a minute, I'm getting ahead of myself. I am going to cover that in tomorrow's post: New York City | Part II.
ps – okay, so most of that last part isn't true but it could have been. It's still worth tuning in for the final chapter.

Your Privacy Is at Risk on Social Media, Even If You Don't Have an Account
Trending News: Not on Social Media? Your Privacy Is Still at Risk
Matt Shea
Concerned about your privacy on social media? Then you can just unplug and delete your accounts, right?
Wrong, according to new research conducted by the University of Vermont and the University of Adelaide in Australia and published in the journal Nature Human Behavior. It turns out that even if your mom and pop have never had a Facebook account, their privacy is at risk because of social media ties.
Confused? Here's what's going on.
'I Get Spied With a Little Help From My Friends'
Scientists at the two universities have illustrated that privacy on social media is like "secondhand smoke." Privacy is not actually determined by you, but the people who surround you: friends, family, colleagues.
To come to this conclusion, researchers took to Twitter, examining more than 30 million tweets from 13,905 users. With this data, they discovered that they could predict an individual's future tweets simply by looking at the Twitter messages of eight or nine of their contacts.
Also, if someone leaves a social media platform — or, more scarily, never even joins one — the online posts and words of their buddies still provide close to 95 percent of "potential predictive accuracy" of that person's future activities, per the study.
"You think you're giving up your information when joining a social media platform, but you're giving up your friends' information too!" University of Vermont mathematician and research leader James Bagrow said in a news release.
Can There Ever Be Any Privacy on Social Media?
The research comes at a time when the sanctity of our personal lives seems to be increasingly under siege by social media.
In 2018, Facebook had a year it would likely rather forget, marked by the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the revelation that it had conducted what many labeled as "opposition research" on billionaire George Soros, and Mark Zuckerberg's twin appearances on Capitol Hill, in which he haltingly defended the company's conduct.
Twitter faced an investigation by a privacy watchdog over user tracking, and a paper from 2018, produced by University College London and the Alan Turing Institute, discovered that user tweets, no matter how anonymous, can just about always be traced back to their source due to metadata.
Now, it looks like you don't even need to be on these services to have your privacy compromised. "You alone don't control your privacy on social media platforms," Bagrow says in the news release. "Your friends have a say too."

CAFLS student says "Agriculture is for everyone" in TEDx Talk
Grace Sauereisen, Communication '19
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, there will be an average of 57,900 new jobs in the agriculture industry each year between 2015 and 2020, but U.S. agricultural colleges will produce only 35,400 new graduates. That means there will be a deficit of more than 22,500 qualified graduates in an industry that is trying to tackle a looming global problem –– how to feed a world population predicted to reach 10 billion by the year 2050.

Addie Stone, a senior undergraduate agribusiness major from Dallas, thinks a lot about these numbers and wants students in other academic colleges and majors to know there are strong career opportunities in the agriculture industry for people from all walks of life and skill sets.
Stone advanced this idea in a speech she delivered called "Why you should have a hand in American agriculture" as part of the TEDx Talk series which came to Clemson last March. The speech was recently posted on the TEDx Talk YouTube channel for an audience of 21.3 million subscribers. She spoke on the booming state of the U.S. agriculture industry, why the industry should search for talent in non-traditional places, and how careers in agriculture are both rewarding and multifaceted.
"By 2050, there will be roughly 9.8 billion hungry mouths on this earth. In order to feed all of them, between now and then we'll need to produce more food than we have in the entire history of agriculture. We can't rely on the wisdom of the past to solve the unknown problems of the future," said Stone.
Stone believes that American agriculture would benefit significantly from greater diversity, and that the way to achieve this is through educating Americans with non-agricultural backgrounds on what the industry is truly about, addressing misconceptions as part of the process.
"Agriculture is an industry –– and, like other industries, it has plenty of problems to solve," said Stone. "However, the average American farmer is a 58-year-old white male, and homogeneity is not the fastest route for solutions. We must make agriculture more accessible and appealing so that more people will choose to dedicate their unique talents and skill sets to solve significant global problems."
Stone highlighted that people pursuing careers in agriculture have the opportunity to work on problems of global scale. They may find themselves figuring out how to implement foreign food trade agreements, enhancing food security by creating more nutritious crops, or tackling global food supply challenges.
Stone came to Clemson from the city of Dallas with little exposure to much beyond the urban landscape of her hometown. Stone urges other students who, like her, have never lived on farms, to follow her lead in pursuing careers in agriculture for the betterment of the industry as a whole.
"The more people that are involved from non-agriculture backgrounds and a variety of growing regions, the better the solutions to agricultural problems. Diversity in the industry brings about more ideas and more innovative approaches towards finding the best solutions," said Stone.
Stone wants people, and prospective students especially, to know that the agriculture industry extends far beyond cultivation and farming alone. This message is evident through the Clemson University's College of Agriculture, Forestry, and Life Sciences' (CAFLS) wide variety of majors and extensive experiential opportunities for students. Although initially drawn to CAFLS due to her passion for the outdoors and hands-on learning, Stone came to find out during her studies at Clemson that the industry has much more to it than farming alone.
"When I came to CAFLS, I thought that my end career would be in farm management, but I came to realize that the industry is so much more than that," said Stone. "Classes and opportunities in CAFLS cover everything from commodity trading, to agriculture lending to agriculture engineering. It's so much broader than most people realize."
CAFLS Dean Keith Belli agrees. In a Feb. 4, 2019 interview, Belli said, "The fact is that there are a lot of different disciplines that go into creating food and fiber and managing our natural resources. For example, there's a high degree of technological skill involved, like drones and sensors and global positioning systems. Even operating a tractor isn't the same as it used to be. Modern farm equipment can be programmed for precision agriculture so it will apply a precise amount of fertilizer or pesticide or water exactly where it needs to be. What that means for our students is that the areas of study in CAFLS and career opportunities for our students are extremely broad. There are agricultural economists, geneticists, statisticians, biologists and engineers. There are even agricultural communicators. You name the discipline and you'll find a version, usually an applied version, within CAFLS."
Clemson University students might not know it, but they are attending a special type of university designated as a "land-grant." Land-grant colleges were created by an act of congress in 1890 for the express purpose of making higher education accessible to the working class and extending the resources of the university beyond campus to all the citizens of the state. Before the Morrill Land Grant Colleges Act, higher education was only available to the gentry.
Clemson, specifically, was created in 1889 by founder Thomas Green Clemson to help lift South Carolina citizens out of poverty by teaching the agricultural sciences.
"Land-grant colleges play an important role in solving problems and creating prosperity through teaching, research and Extension, and CAFLS is the beating heart of Clemson's land-grant mission," Belli said in his interview.
The outlook for agriculture-related jobs is extremely favorable and CAFLS students consistently find themselves in high-demand in various niche markets. Last month, the college held its very own career fair, hosting 84 diverse and innovative companies.
Clemson students, specifically, are highly sought out in the agriculture job market. The top-notch education they receive through CAFLS is reflected in the passionate and meaningful contributions they make to the workforce. Many of the top agricultural employers are quick to speak highly of students coming out of CAFLS:
"Campbell Soup loves to recruit at Clemson from CAFLS department for research and development positions. The students are well equipped with foundational knowledge that allows them to quickly come onboard and contribute to projects," said Amy Clarke, product development scientist at Campbell Soup Company. "Every Clemson student we have recruited has a good work ethic, strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as positive attitudes and ability to work well independently and cross functionally," she said.
CAFLS students benefit from rigorous classroom and experiential learning opportunities across diverse fields. South Carolina benefits from the extensive research CAFLS contributes to support the state's $42 billion agribusiness and natural resources industry. The world benefits from CAFLS discoveries that help sustainably feed a growing global population and conserve natural resources for future generations. CAFLS students are equipped with the resources to make a difference for families and youth both within the state and on a global scale.
