The present invention relates to an apparatus which can be used for cleaning a surface such as a synthetic grass surface as may be used as a tennis court, hockey field or other recreational surfaces. Such surfaces are generally subject to weathering and the accumulation of dust, moulds and mildew.
Synthetic grass surfaces typically comprise a synthetic surface from which extends tufts of simulated grass fibres of a plastic material. Sand is laid on the surface filling the spaces between the tufts so that the tufts remain substantially erect and produce a flat surface which provides a surface suitable for use as a recreational surface.
Typically synthetic grass is very durable. Sand normally collects at the bottom of the synthetic grass and grime, mould and mildew collects on external fibres of the synthetic grass leading to premature degradation and a reduction in performance.
Because the synthetic grass is porous whenever rain falls, dust and contaminants rise to the surface of the synthetic grass fibres leading to a degradation in surface quality and consequential problems for the sporting activity for which the synthetic grass is being used.
Sweeping a synthetic grass surface with a brush is normally ineffective because not all particulate material is moved and when it is moved, it tends to disperse in all directions. Brushing is generally ineffective in breaking up aggregated particulate matter and can in fact damage the fibres of the synthetic grass surface. Brushing does not remove dust and other contaminants, it merely redistributes these contaminants which are believed to be the main cause of aggregation of sand particles, the consequential compaction of fibres and the growth of algae and moss.
Moreover, to attempt to clean an entire tennis court using such a method in conjunction with a washing detergent would be extremely time consuming. Accordingly, there is a need for an apparatus which can effectively remove particulate material as well as organic material such as mould and mildew from deep within the synthetic grass.
In the past, cleaning a synthetic grass surface has been performed with high-pressure water. Cleaning in this manner is a very untidy process and usually requires the replacement of much of the sand and also a considerable amount of relevelling. Relevelling is difficult with wet sand and is a particularly laborious, time-consuming process.
Machines for cleaning synthetic grass surfaces are also known. The machines generally pass over the surface and have a front head attachment which blows high-pressure air against the ground surface to be cleaned. The head attachment has a shroud in which a plenum chamber is located and through which plenum chamber the high-pressure air passes against the ground surface. The pressurized air was dispersed onto the synthetic grass surface using a perforated drum which expelled air at a fixed angle onto the synthetic grass surface as the machine passed over the surface. The high-pressure air breaks up any dirt, debris, moss, caked sand, dust, and the like, and some separation of dust and sand is achieved by virtue of a powerful vacuum arrangement in the head attachment. The cleaned sand passes through the baffles and back onto the playing surface, while the dust, dirt, and the like passes through an outlet and into collection bags. Because the head attachment is not very efficient in separating dust from sand, much sand also passes into the collection bags and therefore the collection bags are arranged upwardly with a lower inlet such that the heavier sand passes back through the inlet and into a sand collecting chamber. An example of this apparatus is described in my earlier Australian patent no. 647607.
While this apparatus was satisfactory for some users, it was found that too much sand was being removed from the playing surface. The upward vertical collection bags were also quite dangerous as they were fully exposed and tended to flap in the wind. The apparatus was also not suitable for any cleaning other than separating dust from sand, and thus the apparatus was more or less limited to tennis courts.
I then developed an improved model of this apparatus in which a baffle was located within a shroud of the head attachment and above the plenum chamber, the baffle having a first leading portion joined to an inner wall of a leading portion of the shroud, and also having a trailing portion spaced inwardly from the trailing portion of the shroud. Accordingly, the baffle formed a torturous pathway for dust thrown up by the compressed air to pass through the outlet. This arrangement considerably improved the separation of dust and sand meaning that a minimum amount of sand passed through the outlet into the collection bags.
Again, while the cleaning achieved this apparatus performed was satisfactory, it was still found that too much sand was being removed from the playing surface. The machine also tended to flatten the synthetic grass fibres or force them to adopt a prone condition. This reduces the effectiveness of the cleaning performed and also the quality of the synthetic grass surface after cleaning.
It will be clearly understood that, if a prior art publication is referred to herein, this reference does not constitute an admission that the publication forms part of the common general knowledge in the art in Australia or in any other country.
The present invention is directed to an apparatus for cleaning synthetic grass, which may at least partially overcome at least one of the abovementioned disadvantages or provide the consumer with a useful or commercial choice.
In one form, the invention resides in an apparatus for cleaning a synthetic grass surface, the apparatus comprising a plenum head and a manifold, the plenum head disposed within the manifold and having a compressed air inlet and at least one air outlet through which air can be expelled against the synthetic grass surface for dislodgement of coarse and fine particulate material and to entrain the dislodged particulate material into the manifold, said manifold extending above said plenum head, said manifold including an outlet located in an upper region of the manifold for expelling the fine particulate material, and an outlet in a lower region of the manifold for distributing the coarse particulate material back to the synthetic grass surface, wherein the plenum head is mounted for rotation within the manifold about a substantially vertical axis.
The apparatus is suitably arranged on a framework which permits easy manipulation over the surface to be cleaned. An arrangement for removing the separated lightweight matter and collecting it may also be included on such a framework. Most preferably, the framework is wheeled so that the device may be pushed or driven over the surface to be cleaned.
The plenum head is preferably an elongate arm member, most suitably oriented substantially horizontally. The length of the plenum arm member preferably extends from one side of the manifold to the other, that is, when the rotating head is oriented widthwise, it is arranged such that it extends at approximately right angles to the direction in which the device is adapted to move or be propelled over the ground surface. The plenum head may be mounted centrally in relation to the manifold by any suitable means. The compressed air supply may be fed to the rotating plenum member using any configurations which allows the uninhibited rotation of the plenum head.
The plenum head has at least one compressed air inlet mounted approximately centrally along its length, and at least one outlet of relatively reduced size which effects an increase in the velocity of the air passing therethrough. The plenum arm member may suitably be mounted for rotation about a substantially central point along its length also in order to increase the efficiency of the apparatus and to decrease vibration and the like.
The egress of air through the outlets may provide rotation of the plenum head or the plenum head may be driven using other means such as a mechanical, electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic drive.
Preferably, the at least one outlet directs the air at an angle downwardly beneath the apparatus against the particulate matter to be dislodged from the synthetic grass surface and entrained in the air flow. The outlet may be one or more narrow slits, nozzles or orifaces. There may suitably be a plurality of outlets preferably extending substantially linearly along an arm of the rotating assembly or, most preferably, a multiplicity of aligned pin holes or nozzles. Preferably, the nozzles or the like are disposed symmetrically about the axis of rotation of the plenum head. Of course, other configurations of the outlets are anticipated and the particular configuration may be chosen according to the condition of the synthetic surface or the degree of cleaning required. In one form, the plenum head may be in the form of an arm extending across the width of the manifold and mounted on a central axis of rotation. Such a configuration may be considered to be two arms extending from the axis of rotation and disposed at an orientation of 180° relative to each other. In other forms, the plenum head may comprise more than two arms radiating from the axis of rotation. Preferably, the arms are equispaced to provide a balanced plenum head. The apparatus may be provided with a number of interchangeable plenum arm members, each having a different configuration of outlets, each arm member and configuration designed to provide different aspects of cleaning to the surface.
Suitably, the internal bore of each outlet is configured so that a venturi effect is produced by the air passing therethrough. The angle at which the outlet(s) is arranged is such as to provide maximum leverage on the particulate matter to be dislodged, whilst simultaneously directing the dislodged matter towards the port of the adjacent manifold. A suitable angle may be between 30° and 75°, most preferably about 60° with respect to the synthetic surface. The number of outlets in the plenum chamber will ideally be maximized so that a large number of individual jets of fast moving air can be directed against the particulate surface, thereby optimising the dislodgment forces thereon. This is particularly important when the particulate matter has formed a hard crusty surface as is quite common in tennis court surfaces. As the rotating plenum arm member having the outlets extending along the length of the arm rotates and the apparatus is moved laterally over the surface to be cleaned, the cleaning provided may be more effective due to a variation in the angle of the air striking the surface. Other configurations are envisaged, for example the arm members of the plenum head may rotate about their tubular axis in addition to the plenum head rotating about the substantially vertical axis. In this manner, a brushing effect may be realised and this could assist in the reconditioning of the synthetic surface on the return of the course particles by forcing the individual fibres to be upstanding.
The outlets may be positioned at a particular height above the surface in order to provide the cleaning effect. This height may typically be approximately 5 mm but the height may be variable by adjusting the separation of the rotating plenum arm member and the surface. Height adjustment means may be provided for this purpose.
The manifold is preferably a circular duct, most suitably of substantially cylindrical configuration having the axial dimension oriented substantially vertically and the radial dimension oriented substantially horizontally. The diameter of the manifold preferably traverses the device from one side to the other, that is, when the rotating plenum arm member is oriented widthwise, it is arranged such that it extends at approximately right angles to the direction in which the device is adapted to move or be propelled over the ground surface. The plenum arm member is suitably arranged centrally within the manifold so as to be closely spaced from the walls of the manifold. The rotation of the plenum arm member within the manifold may not be inhibited by the walls of the manifold.
In one form of the present invention, one or more baffle plates, preferably two baffle plates, may be arranged to partially enshroud the plenum arm member to prevent the coarse particulate matter from being carried into the manifold port and to direct the coarse particulate matter back onto the playing surface from which it has previously been uplifted. The baffle plates may take the form of curved plates arranged at spaced intervals above the plenum arm member.
In order to assist the circulation of the coarse and fine particulate matter in the manifold, a deflector can suitably be located in the region of the particulate inlet. The deflector may be a planar plate which is angled with respect to the adjacent playing surface so that particulate matter striking its surface is reflected upwardly into the manifold.
The manifold is suitably circular when viewed in plan and has a step or shoulder when viewed in elevation. The manifold suitably has a lower sidewall extending upwards away from the ground surface, an intermediate shoulder portion extending substantially perpendicularly from the lower sidewall and an upper sidewall associated with a port for the directed removal of the debris. The upper and lower sidewalls may be substantially cylindrical and the shoulder portion may ideally be a planar annular portion linking the two sidewalls. A lower opening may be defined by the lower sidewall.
It is particularly preferred that the outlets on the rotating plenum head are located towards the respective ends of the plenum head. In particular, there may be a group of outlets at the distal end of one arm of the plenum head and a second group of outlets at the distal end of a second arm of the plenum head. Preferably, each group of outlets may extend no further inwardly towards the centre of the plenum member than the inner end of the shoulder portion. In this manner, the dirt, debris and other detritus, being lighter than the sand of the surface may be separated from the sand by the shoulder portion. In particular, the sand which is heavier may be projected upwards and having a larger momentum may continue on their initial path. As the outlets are located substantially below the shoulder portion, the sand will be projected upwards and strike the shoulder portion, whereupon they may fall back to the ground surface. The dirt and debris particles being smaller and lighter, have a correspondingly smaller momentum and may be carried along with the exhausted air which is removed from the manifold through the port without being impeded by the shoulder portion.
The plenum head, the arms thereof and/or the nozzles may have a protective coating similar applied thereto to reduce the abrasion, attrition or scarifying effect from sand or other detritus which may be forcibly ejected from the surface being cleaned. A particularly preferred coating may have a rubber-like finish.
The lower opening can, if need be, be covered with a grill or mesh of sufficient aperture to prevent entrainment of large pieces of debris which could conceivably block the manifold or at least impede the operation thereof.
The upper region of the manifold generally incorporates the port through which the lightweight matter is exhausted. The port may be simply an opening about which a deflector or similar means can be arranged if necessary to prevent the coarse, particulate matter being sucked therethrough. The coarse particulate matter may then be directed back towards the lower opening of the manifold and be redistributed on the playing surface.
In order to assist in the prevention of the coarse particulate matter blowing out from the sides of the apparatus, between the bottom edge of the manifold and the ground surface, a skirt may be provided. This may take the form of a flat metal plate which extends outwardly from the manifold about its entire perimeter.
As previously mentioned, the apparatus is preferably supported on a wheeled framework. Such a framework is preferably of tubular construction with thin gauge sheet metal walls for minimising the weight of the entire apparatus. A push/pull handle bar is suitably provided at waist-height for easy manipulation, and means enabling the manifold to be lowered close to the ground surface or for raising it when not in use are also included. Such means can comprise a set of pivotal linkages operated by a lever adjacent the push/pull handle.
According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the apparatus may be supported on a self-propelled machine such as a golf buggy or similar machine. The apparatus may be associated with means enabling the height of the manifold, and therefore the plenum head, to be raised and lowered relative to the ground surface to obtain the optimum height for cleaning the synthetic grass surface. The means may include a set of pivotal linkages attached to the manifold operated by a lever adjacent the push/pull handle.
An arrangement may be provided for separating the fine particulate material and removing it. This arrangement may be as simple as a filter bag similar in operation to a vacuum filter bag. More complex or advanced systems may be provided depending upon requirements.
When a complex arrangement is provided for removing the separated fine particulate matter and collecting it, this will suitably comprise a cyclone and chamber in combination with a filtering system. The cyclone is conveniently connected directly by way of a flexible duct to the port of the manifold. One form of cyclone comprises a cylinder with a conical head piece which is oriented in a vertical location on the wheeled framework between the manifold and the push/pull handle. An inlet is provided in the sidewall of the cyclone at an intermediate position, and internal plates direct the entrained fine particulate matter around the inner wall towards the bottom of the cyclone to a collection chamber directly beneath it. A filtering system may be provided about an exhaust air outlet, or outlets, which is preferably located in the top of the cyclone. The filtering system may comprise one or more bags of filtering material supported from a framework which extends above the outlet(s). The filtering arrangement is designed to prevent any fine particulate matter blowing into the atmosphere while permitting the exhaust air to be expelled therethrough.
Compressed air used to charge the plenum chamber can be supplied from a portable compressor which is either carried by the support framework for the apparatus or is supplied by a separate remote compressor. In this later context, a single compressed air line preferably may supply air to an air line connected to the central inlet of the plenum arm member, and a take-off line for driving the equipment.
According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the compressed air may be supplied to the surface to be cleaned at a relatively low volume, (approximately 100 cubic feet per minute) but at a relatively high pressure (approximately 250 pounds per square inch). There may be an adjustment means provided to adjust the flow rate and/or pressure at which the compressed air is provided. For example, particularly high use areas of the surface, such as those about the service line on a tennis court, may require a more intensive cleaning than other, less well used areas. In this situation, a higher pressure flow at a lower flow rate may be used to clean the high use areas due to greater compaction of the surface at those areas while a lower pressure flow at a higher flow rate may be used at the lower use areas.
Various embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the following drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the manifold according to an aspect of the invention
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus for cleaning synthetic grass is provided.
Referring firstly to FIG. 1, the apparatus, indicated generally at 1, comprises a plenum chamber 10, a manifold 11 and a port 12.
In operation, compressed air is directed at high velocity against a wet compacted surface containing particulate matter. The particulate matter is uplifted and then dumped back onto the surface as the device is moved along, thereby producing a soft playing surface. This device is particularly suited to synthetic football, tennis and hockey fields which have a sand filling.
The plenum head 10 is a cylindrical tubular arm member which extends from one side of the device to the other in a transverse direction and has a compressed air inlet 9 located substantially at the centre of its length. The inlet is associated with a central mounting means. This central mounting allows the arm member to rotate about the inlet.
The plenum head includes a multiplicity of nozzle outlets 13 through which compressed air can be directed at an inclined angle against the particulate ground surface 8, in the direction of arrow 14. This action loosens the particulate matter so that it can be uplifted within the manifold and be entrained in a stream of air which lifts it through the manifold as shown by the arrows. Deflector plate 16 assists in directing the particulate matter in an upward direction.
The manifold, best illustrated in FIG. 2, is circular when viewed in plan and has a step or shoulder when viewed in elevation. The manifold has a lower sidewall 25 extending upwards away from the ground surface 8, an intermediate shoulder portion 26 extending substantially perpendicularly from the lower sidewall 25 and an upper sidewall 27 associated with the port 12 for the directed removal of the debris. The upper 27 and lower 25 sidewalls are substantially cylindrical and the shoulder portion 26 is a planar annular portion linking the two sidewalls. A lower opening is defined by the lower sidewall 25.
A lip 21 is provided at the perimeter of the manifold to prevent any particulate matter from being blown from the side of the manifold.
As the particulate matter is entrained upwardly, separation of the fine and coarse particles occurs due to their differences in momentum. The fine matter tends to be blown upwardly for exhaustion through port 12, while the heavier coarser matter tends to lag behind to a certain extent and be deflected by baffles 17, 18 and the shoulder portion 26 back on to the ground as shown by arrows 19, 20. The coarse particulate matter is, in fact laid back down in a similar array to that from which it was uplifted.
A typical air pressure employed with both aspects of the invention is 375 c.f.m at 110 psi, and the diameter of the pin holes is 1.5 mm. In use, the expulsion of the air from the plenum head will provide the rotational force to rotate the plenum head.
The apparatus will be supported on a self-propelled machine (not shown) such as a golf buggy or similar machine. The apparatus is associated with means enabling the height of the manifold, and therefore the plenum head, to be raised and lowered relative to the ground surface to obtain the optimum height for cleaning the synthetic grass surface. The raising and lowering means includes a set of pivotal linkages 30 attached to the manifold operated by a lever adjacent the push/pull handle.
In the present specification and claims (if any), the word "comprising" and its derivatives including "comprises" and "comprise" include each of the stated integers but does not exclude the inclusion of one or more further integers.
Reference throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Thus, the appearance of the phrases "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more combinations.
In compliance with the statute, the invention has been described in language more or less specific to structural or methodical features. It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to specific features shown or described since the means herein described comprises preferred forms of putting the invention into effect. The invention is, therefore, claimed in any of its forms or modifications within the proper scope of the appended claims (if any) appropriately interpreted by those skilled in the art.

Call for Course Proposals: Linguistic Institute 2021
This call has been temporarily suspended as the LSA considers options for holding the Institute in light of COVID-19. These options include holding the Institute as scheduled (but virtually) and postponing it altogether until 2022. We anticipate making a decision about our options later in June. If you would like to make your potential interest in developing a course proposal known to the Institute Directors, we welcome expressions of interest via email.
The 2021 LSA Linguistic Institute will be hosted at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. The Institute will run from June 14 to July 9 in the Summer of 2021, and will provide 4 week and 2 week courses in a wide gamut of topics in linguistics. Each 90 minute class will meet twice a week. We anticipate that classes will have between 10 and 30 students in them.
The courses are arranged into three levels: introductory courses (100-level), intermediate (200-level), and advanced (300-level). The introductory courses are aimed at students who have had no, or negligible, exposure to the subject being taught, and the intermediate level courses are intended for students who have had one course in the area. These courses are all 4 weeks long. Advanced courses are in specialized topics and can be taken by students at any level, but the presumption will be that students have enough background in the relevant areas to follow high level material. The Institute's theme is: "Universality and variation: Linguistics as cognitive science.'' The 300 level courses are chosen with that theme in mind.
For the instructors of the accepted courses, the Institute will cover the costs of travel, University housing and will provide a small honorarium. Proposals to co-teach are welcome and we expect to be able to cover travel costs for all course instructors (the honorarium will be divided among the instructors).
In your course proposal provide us with the following information:
the target audience
a short course description (500 word limit)
a brief outline of motivation for the course (200 word limit)
an outline of course topics (or readings), i.e., a sense of its syllabus
whether it is a 2 week or 4 week course
if applicable, the relevance of the course to the Institute's theme
the course title and instructor(s)
The deadline for submission is June 14, 2020. Proposals should be submitted to the Institute Directors at UMass via email.

Alurent Reviews - Too Good to be True?
Alurent is a two-product skin treatment system that will erase lines and / or wrinkles on your face, while tightening your skin and enhancing its tone. The system consists of instant eraser serum, which is to be massaged into the face and will remove flaws, plus a rejuvenating moisturizer that contains collagen, marine peptides, and antioxidants. This moisturizer will hydrate your skin in just minutes, and the effects created by the two products working together will last for up to 10 hours. With these two products, you'll also receive a small bottle of eye repair serum, which will help eliminate dark circles or puffiness under your eyes.
When you use Alurent, the skin on your face will appear younger, which will make you look better overall. After you've applied the eraser serum to any lines and wrinkles that you want to remove, you'll almost instantly feel it begin to work on your skin, plumping and tightening it. By using this serum, along with the accompanying moisturizer, you'll eliminate the need to receive chemical injections or go under the knife to maintain virtually flawless skin. Alurent will even help reverse the effects of sun damage on the skin, which often includes sagging. Plus, its products are free of synthetic fragrances that could irritate your skin or make you cough and sneeze.
The cost of Alurent is $39.99 plus $5.95 shipping, for a total price of $45.94.
This price was obtained from the As Seen on TV commercial page which was taken offline due to Alurent being discontinued. Alurent may still be found for sale on Amazon or Ebay.
The products included within the Alurent system, which contain natural ingredients and essential oils, have been formulated and tested by a team of biochemists. Working together, their ingredients have been scientifically proven to lift and firm up the skin of the face in minutes after application.
Identify the lines and wrinkles that you'd like to remove from your face and apply some of Alurent's instant eraser serum to each one. Following application, massage the serum into your skin and wait a few minutes for it to begin to do its work.
After waiting a few minutes for your instant eraser serum to take effect, apply the rejuvenating moisturizer to your entire face in order to hydrate, tighten, and tone your skin. It, too, will take a few minutes to do its job.
If you have dark circles or bags under your eyes, you may wish to apply the included eye repair serum. As with the eraser serum, you should massage it gently into your skin, while being careful not to get it in your eyes.
Each Alurent product comes in recyclable packaging, so none of them will add to the amount of garbage accumulating in landfills. Plus, the products themselves are biodegradable, so you won't be harming the environment if you dispose of them, either.
The products in this Alurent skin treatment system are scented with essential oils. They do not contain artificially-created fragrances that often contain harsh chemicals, can be tough on sensitive skin, and may cause headaches and / or breathing difficulties.
None of the products within this system contain ingredients that vegans are generally uncomfortable with using.
Even if you apply all three Alurent products to your skin, using the system will only take you minutes per day. Therefore, you won't need to get up much earlier or run the risk of running late in the morning.
The effects these products have on the skin will last all day, for up to 10 hours. During an average eight-hour day at work or school, you won't need to reapply them in order to keep your skin looking radiant.
The instant eraser serum, rejuvenating moisturizer and eye repair serum all come in fairly small containers that will fit inside a purse. That means you'll be able to carry these products virtually anywhere, so if you have an extra-long day and need to complete a second application, this won't be a problem.
Unlike some cosmetic companies, Alurent does not use animals within their trials.
All of Alurent's products are made in the United States, which means that American labor and safety standards are adhered to during the manufacturing process.
You can get injections, such as those of the Botox variety, to achieve similar results to those you'd achieve with Alurent. However, with these injections, you'll actually be allowing a chemical to be injected into your skin.
Plastic surgery can also be used to keep your skin looking youthful and attractive, but not everyone has the time or the financial resources to undergo a procedure with a surgeon.
Do not buy Alurent online before searching Amazon.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Research by University at Buffalo biologists is providing new insights into alpha-synuclein, a small acidic protein associated with Parkinson's disease.
Alpha-synuclein is known to form abnormal clumps in the brains of patients with Parkinson's, but scientists are still trying to understand how and why this happens.
The new study explores alpha-synuclein's basic properties, with a focus on a section of the protein known as the non-amyloidal component (NAC). The research was done on fruit fly larvae that were genetically engineered to produce both normal and mutated forms of human alpha-synuclein.
The study, led by University at Buffalo biologist Shermali Gunawardena, was published on Jan. 10 in the journal Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience.
Some key findings:
The NAC region appears to aid alpha-synuclein in moving through pathways called axons that run from one area of a neuron to another. When the NAC region was missing, alpha-synuclein did not move within axons.
Alpha-synuclein that's missing the NAC region may help to prevent unwanted aggregates of the protein. In experiments, Gunawardena's team showed that it's possible -- at least in fruit flies -- to prevent some key problems that occur when too much alpha-synuclein is produced: clumping of the protein; abnormalities in the structure of synapses, which form connections between neurons; and a decrease in the speed at which larvae crawl. The scientists found that when the larvae are engineered to produce both excess alpha-synuclein and a version of alpha-synuclein with the NAC region missing, the larvae crawl normally, the protein doesn't aggregate, and the synapses are normal.
"We show that in fruit fly larvae, we're able to prevent some problems mimicking symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as accumulation of alpha-synuclein in neurons," says Gunawardena, PhD, associate professor of biological sciences in the UB College of Arts and Sciences.
"Our work highlights a potential early treatment strategy for Parkinson's disease that would leverage the use of deletion of the NAC region," Gunawardena adds. "One reason this study is important is because it shows rescue of alpha-synuclein aggregates, synaptic morphological defects and locomotion defects seen in Parkinson's disease in the context of a whole organism."
The paper's first author is Eric N. Anderson, a UB PhD graduate in biological sciences. In addition to Anderson and Gunawardena, co-authors include UB undergraduate students Delnessaw Hirpa and Kan Hong Zheng, who have since completed their degrees, as well as Rupkatha Banerjee, a current UB PhD candidate in biological sciences.
The research was partially funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in the National Institutes of Health, and the John R. Oishei Foundation. Anderson was supported by the Arthur A. Schomburg Fellowship Program at UB.

How do you make an Irish coffee?
While some coffee cocktails are complex enough to be left to professional bartenders, some can be prepared at home with just a handful of quality ingredients.
Irish coffee is certainly one of those. This simple hot cocktail is made with black coffee, sugar, and Irish whiskey, as well as being topped with a layer of cream.
I spoke with a bartender and a coffee expert to better understand where this iconic drink comes from, how it's remained so popular for decades, and how we might see it evolve in the future. Read on to find out what they said.
You may also like our article on making your own coffee liqueur at home.
What exactly is Irish coffee?
John Jeide is a bartender at the Buena Vista Café in San Francisco. He says their world-famous recipe hasn't changed since its introduction in 1952.
John explains that Buena Vista's recipe consists of four basic ingredients: Irish whiskey, freshly brewed coffee, sugar, and heavy whipping cream.
While it's normally made with Irish whiskey for its smooth flavour, he says customers sometimes ask for Bailey's cream liqueur or Tuaca (another liqueur) instead.
John serves the drink in a tempered glass that's narrow at the bottom and wider on top, which he says are the perfect proportions for a coffee cocktail.
"First you warm your glass with boiling water, to keep the coffee hot after adding the whiskey," he says. "Then, tilt the water out of the glass and pour in coffee until the glass is about three quarters full. Add two lumps of sugar, stir, then add your whiskey.
"Finally, use the back of a spoon to layer hand-whipped cream on top. Sip the hot coffee through the cold cream."
What you're left with is a satisfying combination of hot, cold, bitter, and sweet – with a layer of rich hand-whipped cream. Sometimes the cream is fortified to stop it from melting, which keeps it floating on the drink's surface.
Like many popular drinks, details on the origin of Irish coffee are conflicting. I spoke to Alin Giriada, CEO of the Coffee Laboratory in Dublin, Ireland, for more insight.
"There are many stories regarding the invention of Irish coffee," he says. "One is that it was invented by barman Joe Sheridan in 1942.
"Apparently, an aeroplane had to cancel a flight because of bad weather, and Sheridan came up with the recipe to comfort the stranded passengers."
However, many believe that it was an American traveler named Stanton Delaplane who brought the drink onto the international stage. According to legend, Delaplane first tried "Gaelic coffee" at an Irish airport, and brought accounts of it to the USA in the 1940s.
After arriving, he spent an evening trying to recreate it at San Francisco's Buena Vista Café, where the owner, Jack Koeppler, became obsessed with perfecting it.
In a strange twist of fate, Koeppler later visited Foynes Flying Boat Terminal in Ireland, the very same place where – allegedly – Joe Sheridan first served the drink to weary passengers.
Sheridan then returned to the USA with Koeppler at some point. Some even believe that he spent a decade working at Buena Vista, which makes it the "real" home of Irish coffee.
However, another tradition holds that it was invented during World War II at the Temple Bar in Dublin.
The proprietor, Michael Nugent, supposedly added whiskey and cream to help mask the bitter, smoky taste of wartime coffee.
Who is Irish coffee popular with?
Irrespective of its origin, we know that Irish coffee has been around for more than half a century. However, in recent years, it has seen something of a resurgence in popularity – as have coffee cocktails in general.
Research shows that since the Covid-19 pandemic, more consumers have chosen to stay at home, order premium spirits online, and prepare cocktails from the comfort of their kitchen.
Nonetheless, John believes that the Irish coffee is versatile, and whether people make it at home or order it in a bar, he says it's perfect for almost any situation.
"You can drink an Irish coffee any time of day," he says. "Before or with breakfast, at lunchtime, or before or after dinner."
He adds that Buena Vista patrons regularly enjoy it before important sports games, on holidays like St Patrick's Day, as well as on birthdays and anniversaries.
Interestingly enough, John also notes that the drink seems to be more popular in the US than in Ireland itself.
Alin agrees, and notes that it's especially popular with tourists.
"Along with a pint of Guinness, it is one of the things you have to try when you visit Ireland," he says. "As it involves a combination of alcohol and coffee, it is not the type of drink that one would enjoy on a Friday night out. It requires a festive or celebratory context."
Which coffee should you use?
Alin explains that to brew an outstanding Irish coffee, you naturally need to find high-quality coffee. He tells me that his personal choice is a natural Ethiopian, generally brewed with a Chemex.
While individual preferences differ, most recipes recommend using a coffee that complements the drink instead of overpowering it. This often means avoiding espresso, as its intensity can make the drink too bitter.
Ultimately, however, Alin says that it's the use of Irish whiskey that sets the Irish coffee apart from other drinks.
Alin says: "There are quite a few other cocktails that use alcohol, coffee, and cream. It's easy for everyone to guess their origins: Irish coffee, White Russian, Café Brasileiro, and so on.
"The uniqueness of Irish coffee is in the ratio of coffee to alcohol. To get a good result, it's strongly recommended you use an Irish whiskey."
John agrees, saying: "We use Tullamore D.E.W. blended Irish whiskey, and Peerless Coffee blends a Buena Vista organic coffee for us. The combination makes for a delicious, smooth flavour."
How could Irish coffee evolve in the future?
With a few minor variations aside, Irish coffee has remained relatively unchanged since its invention several decades ago.
For cafés like Buena Vista, its unchanging recipe is part of the appeal. John says that he thinks the drink will remain popular, regardless of future trends.
"Irish coffee never seems to go out of style, and the recipe has stayed the same over the years," he says. "Something about sipping that hot whiskey and coffee concoction through that cold cream – there's nothing like it. It's memorable."
However, while Buena Vista's recipe hasn't changed, John does say that he's seen many Irish coffee-flavoured products appear on the market, including creamers and liqueurs.
Alin, meanwhile, thinks that innovation within specialty coffee might lead to different iterations of the drink.
He explains: "As it is a drink that requires spirits, I would recommend you use coffees that can achieve a fruity, boozy, and winey character through processing.
"So, in the future, I think we could see more honey processed or carbonic macerated coffees being used for this drink."
No matter what you think of the Irish coffee, it's clear that its simplicity has set it apart from other coffee and alcohol combinations over the years. As a result, its core recipe is unlikely to change.
Whether or not people experiment with the coffee they use for it, however, is a different question. As Alin says, coffees that naturally have a winey or funky flavour can balance perfectly with the Irish whiskey and give it a very satisfying flavour. Perhaps this is something we'll see more of in years to come.

One of the most anticipated restaurant openings of 2017 is The Charter Oak up in wine country.
Coming from chef Christopher Kostow from The Restaurant at Meadowood, a three Michelin starred restaurant in Saint Helena, The Charter Oak is a casual restaurant focusing on fresh and vibrant local produce as well as wood fired dishes that is located in the same city. Since I haven't dined at The Restaurant at Meadowood yet, the normal tasting menu will set you back $275 without beverage, I was intrigued to try his more approachable restaurant.
The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous with brick walls, dark wooden tables, and a hearth located near the open kitchen. The outdoor patio is also beautiful but not suitable for the sweltering summer heat of Saint Helena but will be perfect for spring or fall weather. The menu itself is divided into three sections: small bites, medium plates, and main courses. They also have a small bar menu with various sandwiches.
We started off with two cocktails, both extremely refreshing and light and perfectly suitable for the hot weather. I tried cocktail no. 1 (amaro angeleno, schramsberg, lillet, passionfruit, lemon, and soda) and Tommy tried cocktail no. 6 (spiced germain robin, apricot chutney, orange, lemon, and ginger).
Personal Utensil Drawers Inside the Table.
On both sides of the table, we had a personal drawer with our napkin and cutlery which was definitely an unique and fun presentation.
Charter Oak Bread with Cultured Butter (8/10).
I always have to try a restaurant's homemade bread and butter and theirs didn't disappoint. While the cultured butter was delicious, it didn't compare to the cheesy complexity of Lazy Bear's incredible butter.
Cured ham is one of my favorite things to nibble on and both the meat and fat just melted in my mouth.
Vegetables from the Farm with Fermented Soy Dip (8.5/10).
This small appetizer was a perfect representation of the bountiful Californian produce and was beyond delicious with the creamy fermented soy dip.
Tartine of Green Garlic, Peas, and Lardo (8.5/10).
The toasted bread was smothered with a mixture of fresh green garlic and peas and topped with a thinly sliced piece of lardo that just melted with every bite. Simple yet so satisfying.
Grilled Avocado with Rhubarb, Ember Oil, and Mayonnaise (8/10).
I love avocado so much and that tartness of the rhubarb harmonized well with the sweet creamy avocado and fresh herbs. On the bottom, the mayonnaise added another layer of creaminess.
Rigatoni of Durum Wheat with Vegetable Bolognese (8/10).
I appreciate the homemade rigatoni but I find that sometimes homemade pasta looses its al dente texture compared to dry pasta. The vegetable bolognese had a depth of flavor without the heaviness of a meat sugo and of course the finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese just added the necessary nutty and saltiness to the pasta.
Trout with Wild and Cultivated Greens and Fermented Onion (7.5/10).
While the fish was cooked expertly, crispy skin and supple meat, the dish wasn't as exciting as I wanted.
Beef Rib Grilled Over Cabernet Barrels with Beets Dressed in the Rendered Fat (8.5/10).
I thoroughly enjoyed this main course. The beef rib was extremely unctuous and the fat (some people won't eat this part) literally melted in my mouth and was packed with so much rich flavor. The beets themselves were roasted and dressed with the rendered beef fat and were soooo delicious.
For desserts, they actually have a moving cart where you choose what desserts you would like.
Date Cake with Whipped Cream (8/10).
Simply prepared sticky and creamy date cake with a caramelized crust and whipped cream. Just scrumptious.
Loved the airy texture of the meringue filled with the cream and the syrupy goodness of the macerated strawberries.
Chocolate Mousse with Cookies (7.5/10).
The chocolate mousse itself wasn't too sweet, which I preferred, and loved the crumbly butter cookies served on the side.
For only being open for three weeks, The Charter Oak pretty much nailed their menu. The food was not only beautifully showcased, the flavors were up to par and satiated my appetite. Service was also on point so my rating is a 8-8.5/10.

Angulus is handmade shoes with huge care of every elements. They ensure comfort for every child during everyday discovering the world. Untypical look is their distinctive feature.
ANGULUS was founded in 1904 by Willy Madsen's father, who had a cobblers shop on Nørrebrogade in Copenhagen. Willy was a teacher and disagreed with the pointed shoes that many children wore at that time. He thought they were both unhealthy for growing feet and hindered natural movement. In 1928, Willy astounded the Danish footwear industry with his new foot-formed shoes, developed in collaboration with doctors and physiotherapists. ANGULUS today is a visionary brand. You can find a carefully selected but rapidly changing range of children's shoes. Their perfect fit, quality and design ensured ANGULUS the prestigious British "Junior Magazine Deign Award" in 2012, 2013 and again in 2014, as well as the Danish "Børn i Byen" award for the best Danish children's shoe. Attention to craftsmanship and the guiding principle that children's toes should be able tomove freely in their shoes, drive the company onwards.

Claremont House is een 18e-eeuws landhuis en voormalig koninklijk paleis nabij Esher in Surrey (Engeland), net buiten Londen. Het was ooit de residentie van de latere koning Leopold I van België en later van zijn schoonvader, de verbannen ex-koning Lodewijk Filips I van Frankrijk, die er overleed.

Geschiedenis

Vroege geschiedenis
De eerste gebouwen op het landgoed werden neergezet in 1708 in opdracht van de toneelschrijver en architect John Vanbrugh. De gebouwen omvatten een huis, stallen en ommuurde tuinen. In 1714 verkocht hij het complex aan Henry Pelham (eerste minister van Groot-Brittannië van 1743 tot 1753). Pelham liet Vanbrugh twee vleugels aan het gebouw toevoegen. Ook bouwde Vanbrugh in opdracht van Pelham een torenvormige belvedère in de tuin als uitkijkpunt over het omringende landschap. Het landhuis en omringende landgoed werd Claremont genoemd naar Pelham, die de adellijke titel earl (graaf) van Clare droeg.

Na de dood van Pelham in 1768 werd het landgoed verkocht aan Robert Clive, een Britse generaal die een centrale rol speelde in de Britse verovering van India en de vestiging van Brits-Indië. Clive liet het huis afbreken en het huidige landhuis in palladianistische stijl neerzetten. De architect van het nieuwe gebouw was Capability Brown. Clive woonde echter nooit op Claremont omdat het pas in 1774, een jaar na zijn dood, gereed kwam.

Claremont als koninklijk paleis
In 1816 werd Claremont door de natie aangekocht als huwelijksgeschenk voor prinses Charlotte Augusta van Wales en haar man, prins Leopold van Saksen-Coburg. Charlotte Augusta beviel op 5 november 1817 op Claremont van een doodgeboren zoon. Een dag later stierf zij aan de gevolgen.

Leopold verliet Claremont in 1831 om de eerste koning van België te worden. Het huis bleef echter in zijn bezit tot zijn dood in 1865. Leopold gaf het huis in leen aan zijn nichtje, prinses (en later koningin) Victoria, die er als kind en volwassene regelmatig verbleef.

Na het aftreden van de Franse koning Lodewijk Filips I in 1848 mochten hij en zijn vrouw Marie Amélie het landhuis van Leopold I gebruiken, die met hun dochter Louise-Marie was getrouwd. Lodewijk Filips verbleef op Claremont tot zijn dood in 1850.

Koningin Victoria gaf Claremont in 1882 aan haar jongste zoon Leopold ter gelegenheid van zijn huwelijk met Helena van Waldeck-Pyrmont, zus van de Nederlandse koningin-regentes Emma. Na de dood van Leopold in 1884 en Helena in 1922 zou hun zoon Karel Eduard van Saksen-Coburg en Gotha het landgoed erven. Karel had echter als generaal aan Duitse kant gediend tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog. De Britse regering verklaarde Claremont daarom eigendom van de staat en verkocht het aan William Corry, eigenaar van de Cunard Line. Na Corry's dood werd het landhuis in 1928 opgekocht door een rijke Duitse investeerder, Eugen Spier.

Moderne tijd
Na 1930 bleef Claremont House leegstaan. Er waren plannen om het complex af te breken, maar uiteindelijk kreeg het een nieuwe bestemming als lagere school, de Claremont School, later Claremont Fan Court School.

In 1949 werd 50 hectare van het landgoed opkocht door de National Trust. In 1975 begon de National Trust met de restauratie van de 18e-eeuwse tuinen rond het landhuis. In 1996 werd de torenvormige belvedère publiek toegankelijk gemaakt.

The Late Heavy Bombardment (abbreviated LHB and also known as the lunar cataclysm) is an event thought to have occurred approximately 4.1 to 3.8 billion years (Ga) ago, corresponding to the Neohadean and Eoarchean eras on Earth. During this interval, a disproportionately large number of asteroids are theorized to have collided with the early terrestrial planets in the inner Solar System, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The LHB happened after the Earth and other rocky planets had formed and accreted most of their mass, but still quite early in Earth's history.
Evidence for the LHB derives from lunar samples brought back by the Apollo astronauts. Isotopic dating of Moon rocks implies that most impact melts occurred in a rather narrow interval of time. Several hypotheses are now offered to explain the apparent spike in the flux of impactors (i.e. asteroids and comets) in the inner Solar System, but no consensus yet exists. The Nice model is popular among planetary scientists; it postulates that the giant planets underwent orbital migration and scattered objects in the asteroid and/or Kuiper belts into eccentric orbits, and thereby into the path of the terrestrial planets. Other researchers argue that the lunar sample data do not require a cataclysmic cratering event near 3.9 Ga, and that the apparent clustering of impact melt ages near this time is an artifact of sampling materials retrieved from a single large impact basin. They also note that the rate of impact cratering could be significantly different between the outer and inner zones of the Solar System.
The main piece of evidence for a lunar cataclysm comes from the radiometric ages of impact melt rocks that were collected during the Apollo missions. The majority of these impact melts are believed to have formed during the collision of asteroids or comets tens of kilometers across, forming impact craters hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The Apollo 15, 16, and 17 landing sites were chosen as a result of their proximity to the Imbrium, Nectaris, and Serenitatis basins respectively.
Under study on Earth, the ages of impact melts collected at these sites clustered between about 3.8 and 4.1 Ga. The apparent clustering of ages of these was first noticed in the mid-1970s led to postulation that the ages record an intense bombardment of the Moon. They called it the "lunar cataclysm" and proposed that it represented a dramatic increase in the rate of bombardment of the Moon around 3.9 Ga. If these impact melts were derived from these three basins, then not only did these three prominent impact basins form within a short interval of time, but so did many others based on stratigraphic grounds. At the time, the conclusion was considered controversial.
Dating of howardite, eucrite and diogenite (HED) meteorites and H chondrite meteorites originating from the asteroid belt reveal numerous ages from 3.4–4.1 Ga and an earlier peak at 4.5 Ga. The 3.4–4.1 Ga ages has been interpreted as representing an increase in impact velocities as computer simulations using hydrocode reveal that the volume of impact melt increases 100–1000 times as the impact velocity increases from the current asteroid belt average of 5 km/s to 10 km/s. Impact velocities above 10 km/s require very high inclinations or the large eccentricities of asteroids on planet crossing orbits. Such objects are rare in the current asteroid belt but the population would be significantly increased by the sweeping of resonances due to giant planet migration.
Of what use is it studying the moon and her rocks?
What Apollo mission. Those rocks were from the archaic Richmond Mine where CHRISPR came from. The human race now controls evolution.
How do they know all these.?
Oh what a history, I think it occurred before evolution of human beings.

After Buying A 318-Acre Property, CJ McCollum Became The First NBA Player To Go Through With Owning Vineyard Land
CJ McCollum is making his mark in the wine industry.
Photo Credit: Justin Tucker / Nine Eighty Four
The NBA star's interest in the sector started after being introduced by his wife, Elise. They both eventually moved to Oregon as he was gearing up to play for the Portland Trail Blazers at the time.
Luckily for McCollum, he was nearby one of the top wine regions in the country, which helped to support the launch of his very own brand McCollum Heritage 91 in partnership with Adelsheim Vineyard.
Since its inception in 2020, McCollum has brought six new wines to the market, including the 2016 sparkling Blanc de Blancs, which was released on Sept. 19 to commemorate his 31st birthday.
A post shared by McCollum Heritage 91 (@heritage91wine)
"Sparkling wine has always been special to me," said McCollum, according to a press release. "I celebrated NBA Draft night with sparkling wine, and continue to celebrate special occasions — and even everyday 'good days' with bubbles. We've been so honored by the positive response from fans and wine lovers since we launched McCollum Heritage 91, and we're excited to share this celebratory 2016 Heritage 91 Sparkling Blanc de blancs as the newest addition into our family of wines."
While McCollum is making strides, he is still focused on the bigger picture, which is to make the wine industry more accessible.
"Growing up, I wasn't exposed to what goes into making wine, or what goes into drinking wine," McCollum told Food & Wine. "As a Black man who is now in the wine world, I would encourage more Black men and women, and minorities in general, to learn more about wine and be open to exploring it."
McCollum is also setting a new standard for what is possible in this space.
Oprah Daily reports there are around 11,000 wineries in the United States. Yet, fewer than one percent of those are Black-owned or have a Black winemaker.
This is why seeing influential players such as McCollum with McCollum Heritage 91, Dwyane Wade with Wade Cellars, and Channing Frye with Chosen Family Wine is so important.
What's more, McCollum purchased a 318-acre property in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, located in Oregon, back in 2021. He is now the first NBA player to purchase vineyard land.
"I'm thrilled by our new vineyard site. It's a property with a great deal of potential, and, as we immerse ourselves in the land and terroir, I'm excited to see how we can expand upon my vision for it. Plus, it's been incredible to have my wife, Elise, join me on this journey. Since she served as the catalyst for my passion for wine, it's going to be one more venture we share," CJ told Food & Wine.

Dr. John Harrington has been practicing Natural Medicine in Blairstown N.J. since the year 2000. As a Chiropractor and Nutritionist his extreme dedication to his clients has helped many people regain their health and wellness. His constant pursuit of continuing education has put him at the cutting edge of Nutrition and the Chiropractic Wellness lifestyle.
Dr. Harrington first became interested in health and wellness as a teen through his observations that some people would always seem to be sick while others were much healthier despite exposure to the same germs and environment. He also noticed a health care system based on drugs and he thought the body should have the ability to heal itself without them. This same ideology is shared with the Chiropractic profession so he decided to pursue a career in alternative medicine.
His health career began in 1996 after graduating from New York Chiropractic College. While practicing as a chiropractor he noticed that lifestyle and diet were critical to achieving optimal health and wellness. He then decided to study nutrition and completed his Masters degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut.
In 2006, He was introduced to Nutrition Response Testing and found dramatic improvement in his own health through this unique patient centered technique. After suffering from a stubborn case of Lyme disease, he was able to fully recover using Nutrition Response Testing as a way to improve his immune system, detoxify the body, improve sleep, and eliminate brain fog, all without drugs. Intrigued, he decided to learn how to practice Nutrition Response Testing himself. After witnessing many of his chiropractic patients regain their health and his son heal from a seizure disorder, he decided it was time to practice Nutrition full time. He opened the Sunrise Nutrition Center in 2009.
Dr. Harrington is passionate about helping people achieve health and vitality. He believes that our fast paced, stressful lifestyles, poor food choices and our toxic environment all have an impact on our health and wellbeing. He recognizes that many other forms of alternative medicine such as chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture are beneficial, but without a good nutritional foundation theses therapies will not be effective in the long run.
His mission is to make natural health care accessible and affordable to everyone.

UTILITIES (MONTHLY)
While some other major cities have quite high utilities prices, this is not the case in Liverpool.
The basic utilities for a two-bedroom apartment in the city center will cost you around $156 per month on average, but bear in mind that the larger apartment and family will cause the bills to grow.
Once the working day is finished, as a Liverpool resident you will be able to choose among many ways of entertainment to occupy your day.
Sports people would enjoy doing exercises for only $33, while cinema lovers would need to devote around $12 for the latest release.
If you have got a young people in your family, then buying clothing would be one of important expenses.
People who want to wear expensive designers' items would have to pay much more than those who are satisfied with the low cost apparel.
Property within Liverpool is expected to be more expensive, but fortunately, that is not the case.
The situation is very similar to most cities in the world, meaning that the apartments in the city center are more expensive than those in the suburban areas.

How Does the Average Person Spend Their Money in Liverpool?
Considering the fact that the rent will be the major expense of a newcomer, who is unable to buy its own property, renting an apartment out of the city center is the best solution.
Even though, the average rental costs are low when compared to other cities in the United Kingdom, a city center apartment would cost you much more than a suburban apartment.
Residents tend to spend more than 15% in restaurants, which can also be reduced if you have to live on the budget.
Liverpool: Average Salary, Minimum Wage & Mortgages
Liverpool is an attractive city to many newcomers due to the average cost of living, related to the not so high priced property and living costs, and relatively high incomes.
People come here to look for a brighter future linked to having a better job, and the city has offers from numerous major companies.
The employment prospects are huge, but what you have to bear in mind is that the wages play important role, as you will need to earn salary high enough to cover all the expenses.

How AI can help create more caring company cultures / Humans + Tech - #90
+ New AI tool aims to analyze and improve classroom discussions + Smart technology (probably) isn't making you dumber + Other interesting articles
AI seemed to dominate the articles this week. Some are beneficial and promising uses of AI that can help us a lot if implemented correctly. I particularly enjoyed the article from PwC's Anand Rao on how AI can help create more caring company cultures.
How AI can help create more caring company cultures
Anand Rao is a Global artificial intelligence leader at PwC. PwC has been using AI to design their office spaces with optimal social distancing and alternative uses for office space. From experience, he says that a compassionate workplace performs better. As we continue to face challenges with the pandemic, and we will probably face more as people start returning to offices, Rao believes that there is a significant opportunity to use AI to build and guide emotional support at companies [Anand Rao, QUARTZ].
Loss. Grief. Fear. These emotions have gripped everyone over the past 14 months. This mental and emotional damage from the pandemic could linger for months or even years from now. While widespread vaccine rollouts might bring some relief, the reverse-culture shock of returning to office life could exacerbate the trauma.
But what if organizations could pair AI with HR and performance systems already in place to identify and provide the individualized, personal support employees need through the changes and continued uncertainty ahead?
Rao identifies three main areas where AI can help create a more compassionate workspace—trauma, employee burnout, and employee choice.
I found the ideas presented very interesting and well thought out. I urge you to read the full article. I agree with Rao's conclusion that responsible AI that respects employee privacy and ensures fairness, transparency and accountability will be vital in implementing these successfully.
New AI tool aims to analyse and improve classroom discussions
U.S. students underperform in math skills compared to their peers in other countries. Researchers at UC Boulder's Institute of Cognitive Science have developed Talk Moves to try and assist teachers in imparting knowledge to students in better ways. It is an AI tool that uses natural language processing (NLP) models to help teachers have constructive discussions in the classroom [Oliver Peckham, datanami].
Talk Moves uses transcripts of classroom discussions and analyses them to evaluate what worked and what didn't.
Based on its analysis, Talk Moves can then output classifiers to identify which students are responding (and how often), which the developers hope will both spur engagement and improve equity in classroom settings. "A big goal of accountable talk is equity, because we want all students listening, participating, talking and being a part of that community," Jacobs said.
The application has already been put into pilot use in two Colorado school districts, where teachers are helping to both test and design the evolving tool. "I'm always trying to improve conversations that happen in my math lessons and to help students have discussions with each other to explain their thinking. The application lets me see how I'm doing at meeting that goal," said Kristin Holmquist, a fifth grade teacher at Eagleview Elementary School.
Smart technology (probably) isn't making you dumber
Any new technology comes with its sceptics. As smartphones and computers have become commonplace in the last two decades, many sceptics claim that they are damaging our cognitive abilities. However, researchers Lorenzo Cecutti, Anthony Chemero & Spike W. S. Lee have published a paper in Nature Human Behaviour, arguing that there is no clear evidence for the lasting detrimental effects of digital technology on cognitive abilities. Still, digital technology may be changing predominant ways of cognition [Derek Beres, Big Think].
According to co-author Anthony Chemero, the idea that smartphones and digital technology damage our biological cognitive abilities is not backed up by science. Instead, he claims that we are developing different relationships to cognition due to smart devices. "What smartphones and digital technology seem to do instead is to change the ways in which we engage our biological cognitive abilities."
Other research claims the opposite.
Other research disagrees with that conclusion. The famous London cab driver study showed that cabbies had larger hippocampi and better memory than non-drivers. Other research shows that GPS reduces spatial awareness and mental mapping. Studies such as these indicate that — as the cliché goes — if you don't use it, you lose it.
Overall the authors argue that technology generally makes life better. Every benefit comes with a cost, and it's how we use it that matters.

👓 Warby Parker's new iPhone eye test is its next step into telehealth [Ruth Reader, FastCompany]
In the US, it is compulsory to have a current prescription when ordering new eyeglasses. Warby Parker has developed an eye test using an iPhone app to renew their prescriptions via the app. It's available in 29 states. A doctor still verifies the results before they are approved, but it allows many to renew their prescriptions from the comfort of their homes.
The app, which is changing its name from Prescription Check to Virtual Vision Test, renews prescriptions for anyone 18 to 65 years old with a single-vision distance prescription and no eye health concerns. Users fill out a quick, five-minute questionnaire, then prop up the iPhone and stand 10 feet away with their current prescription glasses or contact lenses on. As the phone shows a series of letters, the user reads them out and the phone app will record the responses. Within two days, a doctor reviews the results and either approves or asks the person to get an in-person exam. Users will be charged for the test only if they are able to renew their prescription. Sadly, it's still not available for Android users.
📱 Instagram 'pushes weight-loss messages to teenagers' [Jim Waterson and Alex Hern, The Guardian]
Researchers used "mystery shopper" techniques to set up a series of Instagram profiles mirroring real children to understand how instagram's algorithms work.
One account that was set up in the name of a 17-year-old girl liked a single post from a sportswear brand about dieting that appeared in her Instagram explore tab. She then followed an account which was suggested to her after it posted a photo of a "pre- and post-weight loss journey".
These two actions were enough to radically change the material suggested to the fake teenage girl on Instagram. The researchers found her explore feed suddenly began to feature substantially more content relating to weight loss journeys and tips, exercise and body sculpting. The material often featured "noticeably slim, and in some cases seemingly edited/distorted body shapes".
Instagram has acknowledged the issue and resolved to fix them.
🕵♀ Pegasus scandal: Are we all becoming unknowing spies? [Gordon Corera, BBC]
The recent Pegasus scandal revealed that the Pegasus spyware from Israel's NSO group targeted 50,000 phone numbers, including Arab royal family members, business executives, journalists, activists, and politicians. Our phones contain vast amounts of data, not just of ourselves but also of our friends, families, and colleagues.
Now, almost everything they might want to know - what you say, where you have been, who you meet, even what interests you - is all contained in a device we carry all the time.
Your phone can be accessed remotely without anyone even touching it and you never knowing that it's been turned from your friendly digital assistant into someone else's spy.
The ability to remotely access that phone was once considered something only a few states could do. But high-end espionage and surveillance powers are now in the hands of many other countries and even individuals and small groups.
"You put all this technology together with a naked human brain and you get something that's smarter...and the result is that we, supplemented by our technology, are actually capable of accomplishing much more complex tasks than we could with our un-supplemented biological abilities."
—Anthony Chemero, Department of Philosophy and Department of Psychology, University of Cincinnati, from the article, "Smart technology (probably) isn't making you dumber" [Big Think]
I wish you a brilliant day ahead :)

At AfroTech, Flexport Recruiting Focuses on Diversity, Inclusion, and Empowering Black Tech
Flexport News
Last weekend, close to 20 Flexporters from around the US appeared at AfroTech, a monumental conference and cultural event for black tech professionals that's gaining momentum every year. More than 10,000 black techies attended presentations and panels showcasing digital pioneers, CEOs and founders, creative leaders, venture capitalists, and others in the tech space.
This marks the first year Flexport joined AfroTech as a sponsor. To give visibility to recruitment efforts, Flexport set up its booth on the Expo Floor of the Oakland Convention Center, eager to attract the next brilliant minds in data, engineering, design, and finance.
Led by Flexport's Black Organization for Leadership and Diversity (BOLD) — one of Flexport's employee resource groups (ERGs) — Flexport engaged with more than 200 people from the Bay Area and beyond.
Listening to Strong Voices
Inspiration ran high listening to luminaries like headliners Erika Alexander, Dantley Davis, Charlamagne Tha God, plus other entrepreneurs and tech-giant employees.
One of the weekend's most popular sessions featured powerhouse founder Delane Parnell of PlayVS, a gaming platform that started in January 2018 and raised $98 million over three funding rounds in 13 months.
"It was nice to be in a space where I could bring more of my authentic self forward," shares Lauren Owens, Insurance Operations Associate at Flexport. "I really appreciated the team-building aspect of the event. Afrotech is a great opportunity to be able to come together with my peers and discuss our intersecting experiences being black in tech. From collective involvement in ERGs to designing new innovations to uplift our culture—having all of it in one place was inspiring."
A Community Vision for Black Tech Professionals
Flexport and BOLD jumped at the opportunity to recruit at AfroTech because AfroTech's core mission to empower black tech professionals aligns with the values and vision of BOLD.
As an employee resource group, BOLD offers Flexport employees an at-work community where members can engage with each other to foster authenticity and inclusiveness in the workplace. The group is one of four employee resource groups at Flexport that focuses on welcoming, recognizing, and advocating for employees from different walks of life.
"For the company to participate at this level made it even more clear to me how engaged and invested we are in creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace. AfroTech was a life-changing event for many who attended, and especially for the BOLD team," noted Terrell Wilks, Ocean Freight Operations Manager at Flexport.
By supporting the event, networking with conference participants, and sharing individual experiences, Flexporters at AfroTech were successful in contributing to a constantly evolving culture that values and seeks out the inclusion of up-and-coming black professionals.
Thank you to everyone who visited us at AfroTech. If you'd like to do the best work of your life at Flexport, explore current openings now and check back frequently to see when new roles open.

A plumbing school not only offers you the formal and the practical training that will be essential for your future as a plumber, but it also offers a plethora of career options to choose from, given the fact that most Jonestown MS plumbers decide to specialize in a particular field. In other words, students of plumbing schools can choose to become construction plumbers or managers, plumbing inspectors, pipe layers or steam fitters, sprinkle fitters, engineers and so on. Regardless of their choice, it would be impossible for them to advance in the field without having solid, in-depth plumbing knowledge and training.
Students should know that the average length of the training program is between 18-20 weeks. Jonestown MS Students who have some plumbing experience can choose an advanced training program where they specialize in the design of piping systems and system inspection, while beginners can opt for a basic module where they will learn safety practices and procedures, plumbing codes, etc. It is important to understand that in spite of the variety of career opportunities, all jobs require a set of skills and in-depth knowledge that can be achieved only by attending the programs and courses of a professional plumbing school.
After graduating from a plumbing school (that must be accredited either by the Mississippi Commission of Higher Education or other similar review body), a specialized pipe layer can earn an average yearly salary of $30,000, while a plumbing contractor can earn anywhere between $47,000 to $56,000 per year, depending on training, experience and the state where he resides.
Jonestown MS Plumbing School reviewed by Cherise Rodriguez.
What can I say, I'm impressed. I was able to learn more about the different plumber programs in Mississippi and found one that fit my needs. I was actually lucky enough to secure a grant which means I will have a much easier time financially!
