Red Cross salvages lessons from tragedy

TULSA – Oklahoma Historical Society Executive Director Bob Blackburn was in Checotah the morning of the Oklahoma City bombing. With four employees stationed at the damaged Journal Record Building, he soon found himself driving west, the blast's smoke visible much of the way.
Blackburn said he worried about the health and safety of those hit by that disaster. Like most Americans, he had trouble believing such an act of terrorism could happen in the U.S. heartland, even with that towering cloud growing ever larger in his windshield.
That underscores what might have been the biggest challenge faced by the American Red Cross in responding to the April 1995 disaster. The event raised numerous mental health concerns over the days and weeks that followed, and not just among victims and family members, but also among firemen, police officers and many others.
"We would all end up as responders," Blackburn said. "The entire community responded. It's not just the guys digging into the rubble and the ambulance drivers, but people around the community. It was all of us."
More than 30,000 mental health cases would eventually be attributed to the bombing. Between the pressures facing victims, families and responders, the burden soon overwhelmed the Red Cross staff.
"We had never done it on this massive a scale," said Brian Jensen, a former response coordinator with the organization who now directs services to armed forces in Oklahoma and Arkansas. "We had to bring in mental health workers from across the country."
That proved one of several mass-care response policy changes the international organization made with that event, Jensen told a recent NAIOP Tulsa gathering. New ways emerged to connect family members. New methods of around-the-clock care developed for evacuation crews and other responders. New connections developed with local providers as the magnitude of the problems surfaced.
Unfortunately, subsequent national disasters of far greater scale would soon bring further revisions to such policies, said Brigette Williams, Red Cross communications director for Oklahoma and Arkansas. The Internet and smartphone technologies also brought revolutionary changes from what Oklahoma City experienced two decades ago.
"I'm sure their policies change constantly as the community changes," Blackburn said. "A good organization will always re-examine their core mission, their ability to respond to their needs."
His bombing experiences provide a prime example. Once he got back to Oklahoma City, it took Blackburn an entire day to track down the historical society's four injured workers. They had been taken to four different hospitals, and no one source could provide such details.
Today the Red Cross employs a Safe & Well app that accepts electronic inquiries about people and reaches out to the sought person, offering information on how to connect. Williams said that service works both as a search engine and privacy protector.
An app released Thursday provides information on how to respond in emergencies.
"We are constantly trying to stay on top of it and stay with the technology," Williams said. "An enormous percentage of people use smartphones to communicate. A large number use social media. Unfortunately, sometimes it confirms disasters, but they also use it to ensure the safety of individuals."
The bombing's 20th anniversary brings up another perceived change, this one involving how long response services may endure.
"The American Red Cross is still helping people 20 years later from that event," Jensen said. "We have just under 50 families that are assisted every month from the American Red Cross that were impacted at that building."
That many not surprise many observers touched by that event. The memories remain.
"I'll never forget seeing that plume of black smoke," said Blackburn, who soon faced the task of preserving Oklahoma City's damaged historical buildings. "The memories are vivid for all of us who were first responders. The people who were working with the Red Cross, who really care about human suffering, deal with that."

Q: Shouldn't Quantum Mechanics change in a black hole? I recently learnt that the conservation laws are a consequence of the symmetries of space and time (the Lagrangian in Newton mechanics). Since space-time change in a black hole wouldn't quantum mechanics also change?
Let me give an example by what I mean:
In classical space:
$$x' = x + e \\
L(x') = L(x)$$
But the above transformation is not true in relativistic space. Hence, the conservation of momentum changes in special relativity (i.e momentum is not $mv$). So similarly shouldn't all the conservation laws change for a black hole and therefore it's action?
Side note: the reason I was thinking of a black-hole was that the incoming particle of mass will not drastically affect the space-time (due to the heavy centre)

A: You don't need black holes to break spacetime symmetries. In general relativity, the Poincaré symmetries (rotations, boosts and translations) are routinely broken, in some cases a spacetime may have no symmetries at all (a WILD SPACETIME).
In that case, yes, energy and momentum conservation are violated. You can get such things as particle pairs being spontaneously generated by the gravitational field.
Of course you can recover those symmetries by pretending that spacetime is flat and that the curvature is actually another field.
Also, in spacetime, you always have a local Poincaré symmetry. Meaning basically that the differential version of those laws are still correct, but not the integral form.

You might wonder what kind of a parent is the Duchess of Cambridge? Here we have Kates favorite parenting rules book to find out how exactly she is raising Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
How do raise a prince and princess-you might ask yourself. And as it seems Kate Middleton got some help from her favorite parenting book, even going so far as sending a letter to the author of the book.
The Modern Mother's Handbook: How to Raise a Happy, Healthy, Smart, Disciplined and Interesting Child, Starting from Birth is the name of the book, whose author prefers to stay anonymous and goes by as The Modern Old-Fashioned Mom, was delighted to hear that the Duchess of Cambridge found her book to be quite helpful. She has two kids (like Kate) and wrote the book in hopes of offering practical advice for new moms on raising kids from infancy to teens — clearly, Kate is thinking ahead. There is some advice in the book that we would suggest moms ignore (you don't have to breastfeed like the author says), but there are a lot of good tips that are worth following.
The anonymous author advises new moments to not shy away from asking for help, especially during those first two-three weeks. "Your life is about to consist of interrupted sleep and a crying baby. So let your mom do as much as possible, including changing diapers and doing laundry." And Kate definitely did that. After the birth of Prince George, William and Kate headed to Bucklebury where Kates family lives. They stayed with her family for many weeks, with Carole Middleton helping Kate with her new life as a mother and cooking most of the meals to keep the new family fed. And as if grandma Carole wasn't enough, the couple also had a full-time nanny named Maria who takes care of George and Charlotte when the couple is at royal engagements. Even though this is a wealthy family we are talking about and not everyone can afford a nanny, we can all agree that there is no shame in asking for help when you need it.
When Prince George was off on his first royal engagement in July 2016, he became a bit overwhelmed by all the loud noises at the Royal International Air Tatoo. Kate was quick to respond and pick him up and "communicate in a calm-ish, reasoned and understandable tone," just like the author recommends. George instantly stopped crying and calmed down, and he was off to check the planes. We give Kate props for managing to keep cool and calm at a moment when basically the whole world is watching her kid have a meltdown.
So how does Kate discipline the future king? Well, it involves lots of counting to three. The Modern Mother's Handbook encourages parents to give their kids to the count of three to complete a task or its off to timeout. Yes, there is a timeout chair in Kensington Palace. But not action demands that kind of reaction, sometimes "all they need is a little laugh and a hug". Kate just laughed it off when Prince George got Charlotte with the bubble gun during a fun party in British Columbia.
We know that letting your kids go out in the big scary world is hard, especially when they are so little. But the author urges you to "get out of your child's way" and let them discover the world themselves and make their own mistakes. Her advice is "Set a good example and then stand back and watch." Kate did exactly that at a children's party in Victoria, BC. As soon as Charlotte saw all the games and animals, she pushed herself out of Kates' arms and went on to play with the balloons. Kate just walked behind her and laughed at her daughter's independent spirit.
This might be shocking at first, but it has some logic behind it. "A child cant understand sharing if she first doesn't understand the concept of possession," the Modern Old-Fashioned Mom writes. So if another kid takes your kids toy, it alright to ask the kid to give it back.

Dress Made by Margret Hantman in Deggendorf DP Camp

type: Clothing
When World War II and the Holocaust ended in 1945, roughly eight million people were left uprooted and homeless.1 To house and feed such a large number of people, the United States helped to establish hundreds of Displaced Persons (DP) camps in occupied Germany, Austria, and Italy.2 While these facilities were only meant to provide temporary shelter, their residents often became stuck in them for a long time. It typically took months—if not years—before the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) and the International Refugee Organization (IRO) could help DPs complete all of the steps necessary for their resettlement.3
The residents of the Deggendorf DP camp in Bavaria founded schools and vocational training centers, set up a synagogue and a library, published two newspapers, and organized cultural events and programming.4 A Jewish survivor of Theresienstadt and Auschwitz named Margret Simon Hantman arrived in Deggendorf during the fall of 1945. She helped launch a theater group with other residents. They regularly put on plays and musical revues for which they made their own costumes and props. One of these performances featured Margret and five other dancers in self-made dresses patterned on the American flag. They were accompanied by a seventh dancer who was dressed up like the Statue of Liberty. While Hantman's dress hints at the important role the United States may have played in the imagination of many Deggendorf residents, the US was not the first choice of destination for many DPs.
Hantman had not originally planned on immigrating to the US. She was a Zionist who had always imagined herself settling in Palestine, but she had no family except a cousin in St. Louis. As she would later explain, "It was a little strange, being a Zionist all along, and then deciding to come to America. But I had no relatives, I was too young, and I was tired of camp life, so I decided to come to America."
Although the US had not been her first choice, Hantman considered herself lucky. Together with other DPs, she boarded an American military ship in May 1946. She would later recall that when she arrived in New York harbor and saw the Statue of the Liberty for the first time, she "really felt safe."5
For more, see Gerard Daniel Cohen, In War's Wake: Europe's Displaced Persons in the Postwar Order (Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 2012).
Of postwar Europe's eight million uprooted people, only about seven million could be repatriated. Over one million continued to stay in DP camps for months—or even years.
For more on the IRO, see the Film of Displaced Persons Registering with the International Refugee Organization in this collection.
More than 250.000 Jewish refugees were housed in DP camps exclusively designated for Jewish DPs. These included survivors of the Holocaust and refugees from the anti-Jewish violence that occurred in eastern Europe after the war. Jewish DP camps like Deggendorf became centers for a revival of Jewish culture and life after the Holocaust as people were waiting to emigrate. For some examples of these efforts, see the related collection in Experiencing History, Jewish Displaced Persons in Postwar Europe. For more on Deggendorf, see the related Experiencing History item, Song from Deggendorf DP Camp.
Margret Simon Hantman's personal papers, which include more materials on her life and her experience at Deggendorf, are available online through the USHMM's Collection.

Mbappe to sign Real Madrid pre-contract -Report
Trump Francis August 31, 2021 247 Nigeria News Update, General News, News, Trend
Kylian Mbappe is planning to sign a pre-contract agreement with Real Madrid in January after Paris Saint-Germain failed to reply to the Spanish club's £154.4m (€180m) offer.
Real made a second improved bid of £145.8m (€170m) plus £8.57m (€10m) in add-ons and set PSG a deadline to respond by 5pm UK time, Skysports reports.
However, no response was forthcoming, meaning Real are likely to wait until January when they can sign Mbappe on a pre-contract agreement for him to join for free next summer.
The French forward reiterated to PSG on Monday that he will not renew his contract, which expires at the end of the season, as he wants to move to Real.
PSG are still keen to convince Mbappe to sign a new deal, but it is understood there is now no chance of the 22-year-old agreeing to do so.
Mbappe turned up to France's Clairefontaine headquarters on Monday as the world champions prepare to face Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ukraine and Finland in their upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Mbappe scored twice for PSG on Sunday evening as they won 2-0 at Reims. He said on social media after the game it was "the perfect night".
PSG sporting director Leonardo said last week Mbappe wanted to leave but they would not sell him in the final week of the window and they would not sell him for less than his market value.

As a young researcher, or someone at the beginning of their scientific career, the prospect of juggling your passion for science with the everyday realities of being a scientist can feel somewhat daunting.
Supporting the next generation of scientists through the early stages of their career is vital in ensuring that confident, inquisitive and capable researchers continue to join the scientific community for years to come.
With that in mind, we've compiled a list of guides and articles to help those at the beginning of their career, spanning a whole range of topics, from grad school and the publication process to mental health and gender inequality.

Remember to take time out. Research culture can often make you feel like you should be pulling ridiculous hours, but that can be more detrimental to your work than it is beneficial. Avoiding burnout and looking after your mental health will make you more productive in the long run.

If you are having a "bad" day – talk about it. It is surprising how much better you feel when you share a problem or frustration. To this day I remember one of my lecturers saying "remember to take a five-minute brain break" – walk away, take a moment, rest that brain and resume in five!

Tackling issues of inequality and discrimination
The scientific field isn't immune to issues of inequality and discrimination, both in the research it produces and within the community itself. Regardless of personal impact, we can all do our bit to help end inequality in science and one of the best ways these issues can be tackled is to expand our knowledge and understanding.

Lewis Hamilton's Belgian Grand Prix hopes hang in the balance after crash
Hamilton lost control of his Mercedes at high speed before slamming into the barriers.

By Press Association Published: 31 August 2019 - 12.31pm
Lewis Hamilton's hopes of taking part in qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix hang in the balance after he suffered a high-speed crash in final practice.
Hamilton lost control of his Mercedes at the right-handed turn 12 before slamming into the barriers.
The five-time world champion suffered extensive damage to the front of his Mercedes.
Crew work on Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes as they bid to get it ready for qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix (Francisco Seco/AP).
The one-hour session was immediately red-flagged following Hamilton's accident.
"I am in the wall, guys," the British driver said over the radio. "I am sorry."
Hamilton, 34, emerged from his cockpit unscathed, but his mechanics now face a race against time to get his damaged car ready for qualifying.
It is, however, a race they believe they can win.
"We will be replacing both front corners (suspension and wheel assemblies), nose, barge boards and floor on Lewis' car," a tweet from Mercedes read.
"Barring any unexpected surprises, we believe we can complete all of the work in time for the start of #BelgianGP qualifying."
The battle for pole position at Spa-Francorchamps takes place at 3pm local time.
Hamilton holds a commanding 62-point lead over team-mate Valtteri Bottas in the championship, but he will be forced to start at the back of the grid for Sunday's race if he fails to post a time in qualifying.
In Hamilton's absence, Ferrari continued their domination of the weekend in Spa-Francorchamps, with Charles Leclerc fastest.
The impressive Monegasque finished nearly half-a-second clear of his team-mate Sebastian Vettel.
Valtteri Bottas was third for Mercedes, 0.497 seconds off the pace.

Whatever hoity-toity painting you may have hanging on your wall needs to come down immediately and this cool new painting called Boo's Place by James Bit needs to replace it. At first glance, it may seem like an ordinary oil painting of an old decrepit house in the autumn months, but look closer and you'll see that it's infested with little Boo ghosts from the Super Mario games. Yep, this repurposed painting is juxtaposed with little 8-bit video game ghosts on top to make it truly avant-garde. A true modern day artist should paint in both oils and pixels. Hilarious yet evocative.

Give your hair or skin a treat with our Bent-Aloe clay treatment. This bentonite clay and organic aloe vera mix is perfect to use in place of shampoo for a deep detoxifying hair cleansing experience. The addition of aloe vera helps keep your hair moisturised. Leaves hair clean and soft., can also be used on skin as a face mask or added to your bath to help clean and soothe your skin.
For hair treatment mix Bent-Aloe with apple cider vinegar, mineral water, honey, olive oil and 5 drops of essential oil of your choice. Apply to scalp and ends thoroughly, cover hair with cling film for a minimum of 30 mins. Rinse with warm water, condition (if necessary) and detangle hair. Finish with an apple cider vinegar rinse and style as usual.
Before my consultation with 9-naturals, my hair was dry and hard to manage. I found it difficult to comb through and it was falling out, after the Bent-Aloe treatment I could not believe that not even one strand of hair left my head onto the comb!! I was so shocked that after just one treatment such a dramatic improvement was made, I could not believe the treatment could be this good! The bent aloe treatment worked extremely well and it has had such a positive effect on my hair. It acts as a shampoo and conditioner in one. I still cant believe that the combnd brush go straight through my hair after rinsing the treatment without the aid of condtioner!
I can only say one thing for this treatment, its given me the best results that I've ever experienced in my 75 years of trying every thing and anything i can to restore my once thick and long hair to its former glory. The results were so amazing that i had to get my grandaughter to write my review! I hope somebody will see this and try this treatment and discover and experience the goodness that I did.

Research looks at aerobiomes, trees and implications for public health
By Dr. Ramya Dwivedi, Ph.D.Nov 12 2020
Environmental microorganisms play an essential role in human health – the diverse the consortium, the better. Diversity in the microorganisms helps the immune system to respond to pathogens.
It also helps control overstimulation of the immune system in response to innocuous agents, such as dust particles, pollen, and sometimes, our cells – the latter manifesting as autoimmunity. Exposure to these microbiomes from the environment in early childhood is known to help develop a strong immunity.
In addition to better immunity, the diverse microbiomes supplement humans with important functional microorganisms. It is established that soil-derived butyrate-producing bacteria may supplement the gut bacteria and can reduce anxiety. Certain bacteria produce important molecules essential to human health: inhibit tumors and atherosclerosis, improve bone formation, promote epithelial integrity, etc. Also, exposure to plant diversity and associated microbial communities is significantly correlated with reduced risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia by promoting immune maturation.
Urbanization and loss of macro-biodiversity are linked to loss of microbial diversity, which could negatively impact the health-supporting microbial communities residing in and on human bodies – the human microbiome.
In a recent bioRxiv* preprint paper, Jake M. Robinson and colleagues study the dynamics of 'aerobiome' - the collection of microorganisms in a given airspace, with respect to the height from the ground level. The study of the dynamics of near-surface aerobiomes in urban green spaces is minimal. However, studies show that the aerobiomes differ in urban and semi-urban spaces. They are distinct in urban green and grey spaces and are modulated by the vegetation type and are influenced by local changes such as weather or land management.
Study: Exposure to Airborne Bacteria Depends upon Vertical Stratification and Vegetation Complexity. Image Credit: Aleksandrs Muiznieks / Shutterstock
The researchers have demonstrated aerobiome vertical stratification between ground level and 2 m heights in an urban green space in a previous study.
An individual may be exposed to any kind of aerobiome. Depending on the habitat and height––and their interactions, the diversity and the function of the aerobiome will change. Thus, the effects of different aerobiomes may have implications on individual and public health.
This study focuses on aerobiome bacterial communities. The team used an innovative columnar sampling method to sample aerobiome bacterial communities in three urban green space habitat types in the Adelaide Parklands, South Australia. Their objective was a meticulous comparison and assessment of aerobiomes diversity, vertical stratification, the influence of tree density, and the pathogenic bacterial taxa among the three habitats. The habitats include amenity grasslands, woodland/scrub (dominated by native Eucalyptus spp. trees and shrubs; henceforth referred to as 'scrub'), and bare ground habitat; each habitat is a typical urban green space habitat.
Profile of bacterial communities from each habitat at the phylum level. The coloured area of each bar represents the relative abundance of the corresponding phylum over 1%. The X-axis displays sampling heights: soil, 0.0 m, 0.5 m, 1.0 m, and 2.0 m (from left to right). The photographs above the plots show examples of each habitat used in the study (photographs by authors).
Omics eBook
They characterized the diversity, composition, and network complexity of aerobiomes by using next-generation sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene. The authors applied geospatial analytical methods to explore the potential influence of trees on the micro-biodiversity of aerobiomes.
They found the dominant bacterial community in all three habitats: Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Actinobacteria. However, the abundance of the bacteria varied with height. They also found that the scrub aerobiome was more biodiverse than the bare ground; in fact, it had the most biodiverse aerobiome.
The bacterial diversity is reduced on the bare ground with increasing sampling height from ground level to 2 m. The highest diversity was at the soil level.
The authors tested for diversity differences between dates and sites and found no significance in factoring these.
The results show that the aerobiome bacterial community differed significantly between urban green space habitat type. This study shows that aerobiome diversity, composition, and network complexity stratified vertically. This suggests that the potential bacterial exposure and transfer depends on the habitat type as well as the person's height or behavior.
The study suggests that urban habitats with more complex vegetation communities are more biodiverse. Urban green spaces need to have this vegetation to ensure exposure and transmission of environmentally-derived bacteria to the skin and airways. Because these bacteria are essential for better health, urban planning needs to implement the vegetation spaces intelligently.
The results also confirm that trees and the greater canopy are associated with higher aerobiome diversity. The team found abundant putative pathogenic taxa significantly different in proportions between grassland and scrub habitat samples. Because only identifiable bacterial taxa were used in the differential abundance and analyses, the authors suggest further research is required here.
This study found that grasslands exhibited significantly greater proportions of identifiable pathogenic bacteria compared to scrub. The abundance of the bacteria, however, decreased significantly with sampling height.
Individuals may be exposed to different aerobiomes depending on the type of habitat visited and human-scale height-based variation in environmental aerobiomes, the authors write. This is an important study highlighting where the priorities need to be in the context of better health, improved immunity, harbor diverse microbiome, restore green spaces, and ward off rapid pathogenic microorganisms and plan the urban spaces; implication for landscape management and public health. In this direction, efforts are needed to restore complex vegetation communities and host-microbiota interactions that provide multifunctional roles in urban ecosystems.

Celebrity Cruises Announces New 2023 Pacific Coast Cruises
California is once again open for cruising and as a result, we're seeing more and more cruise lines scheduling future cruises along the Pacific coast! Celebrity Cruises announced today that they'll position their ship Celebrity Eclipse in Los Angeles starting in September of 2023 for 6, 7, and 8-night cruises north and south along the coast.
"Our Pacific Coast itineraries are packed with iconic destinations, unique cultural experiences and Celebrity's signature onboard luxury experiences," said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, President and CEO of Celebrity Cruises. "There's so much to experience on both the West Coast and on our beautiful Celebrity Eclipse, making it a vacation that offers something new and exciting every day of the journey."
For those wary about traveling too far from home just yet, the ship calls on several American ports like San Diego, Santa Barbara, and San Francisco, California as well as Astoria, Oregon. When the ship cruises south along Mexico's Baja Peninsula, calls include Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, Mazatlán and Puerto Vallarta.
RELATED: Celebrity Cruises Introduces Celebrity Beyond
The breakdown of each itinerary from Los Angeles is as follows:
7-night Pacific Coastal sailings with calls on San Francisco, Santa Barbara and San Diego
An 8-night South-of-the-Border Mexican Riviera itinerary with calls on Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán, La Paz and Puerto Vallarta
A 6-night itinerary featuring an overnight stop in Cabo San Lucas, and a visit to San Diego
A 6-night repositioning cruise in December from Vancouver to Los Angeles with calls on Victoria, British Columbia; Astoria, Oregon; and an overnight in San Francisco
New Paint for Celebrity Eclipse
Launched in 2010, Celebrity Eclipse is the third of five Solstice-class ships built by the cruise line. While the ship was idle during the industry pause, Celebrity Cruises took the opportunity to give it a fresh coat of hull paint and former guests may not recognize her now! The ship is now the same navy blue found on the brand's newer vessels like Edge and Apex.

Join Tammy Coron and Tim Mitra on Episode 105, which was recorded on February 28, 2018.
On this episode, they talk with Jacob Ervin.
Jacob has been working in mixed and virtual reality for the better part of a decade. It started with webcam-based AR in 2009 and things just escalated from there. These days he can be found working on Occipital's Bridge headset, supporting indie MR/VR projects and rambling on about the intersection of tech and human perception.
This episode is sponsored by raywenderlich.com. raywenderlich.com has been the best place to learn iOS development on the Internet for a long time — over eight years in fact.
And now the team at raywenderlich.com is expanding in a big way into Android and Kotlin development, with an avalanche of new Android and Kotlin books, courses, and screencasts!
From March 19th to the 30th, you can get access to all the new Android and Kotlin books, courses, and screencasts at a massive thirty-three percent discount.
If you've been thinking about moving your career ahead with Android and Kotlin development, this is definitely the time to do it.
Head on over to store.raywenderlich.com to take advantage of their time-limited Android Avalanche sale, which ends March the 30th.
Occipital is equal parts science lab and software startup – we develop state-of-the-art mobile computer vision applications.
In 2016 Occipital launched two new products, Canvas: a home scanning application which lets users turn their rooms into scale accurate CAD models, and Bridge: a mobile powered, spatially aware, mixed reality HMD.
Bridge lets iPhone owners instantly experience immersive mixed and virtual reality. It's a premium headset that uses the Structure Sensor to capture a precise 3D representation of the real world that can then be used to power immersive mixed reality capabilities that simply aren't possible with available headsets.
For example, Bridge can allow virtual content and characters to merge realistically with real-world environments. A virtual character can hide under the kitchen table, or run across a couch. And a virtual ray gun could blow a hole in the living room wall, revealing a portal from the real world to a magic world…or a friend's house halfway around the world. And Bridge isn't just for mixed reality – it's powerful for virtual reality too.
