Penn Researchers Are Among the First to Grow a Versatile Two-dimensional Material
University of Pennsylvania researchers are now among the first to produce a single, three-atom-thick layer of a unique two-dimensional material called tungsten ditelluride. Their findings have been published in 2-D Materials.
Unlike other two-dimensional materials, scientists believe tungsten ditelluride has what are called topological electronic states. This means that it can have many different properties not just one.
When one thinks about two-dimensional materials, graphene is probably the first that comes to mind.
The tightly packed, atomically thin sheet of carbon first produced in 2004 has inspired countless avenues in research that could revolutionize everything from technology to drinking water.
One of the most important properties of graphene is that it's what's called a zero bandgap semiconductor in that it can behave as both a metal and a semiconductor.
But there are tons of other properties that 2-D materials can have. Some can insulate, others can emit light and still others can be spintronic, meaning they have magnetic properties.
"Graphene is just graphene," said A.T. Charlie Johnson, a physics professor in Penn's School of Arts & Sciences. "It just does what graphene does. If you want to have functioning systems that are based on 2-D materials, then you want 2-D materials that have all of the different physical properties that we know about."
The ability of 2-D materials to have topological electronic states is a phenomenon that was pioneered by Charles Kane, the Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Physics at Penn.
In this new research, Johnson, physics professor James Kikkawa and graduate students Carl Naylor and William Parkin were able to produce and measure the properties of a single layer of tungsten ditelluride.
"Because tungsten ditelluride is three atoms thick, the atoms can be arranged in different ways," Johnson said. "These three atoms can take on slightly different configurations with respect to each other. One configuration is predicted to give these topological properties."
Marija Drndić, the Fay R. and Eugene L. Langberg Professor of Physics; Andrew Rappe, the Blanchard Professor of Chemistry and a professor of materials science and engineering in the School of Engineering and Applied Science, and Robert Carpick, the John Henry Towne Professor and chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics, also contributed to the research.
"It's very much a Penn product," Johnson said. "We're collaborating with multiple other faculty members who investigate the material in their own ways, and we brought it all together to put a paper out there. Everybody comes along for the ride."
The researchers were able to grow this material using a process called chemical vapor deposition. Using a hot-tube furnace, they heated a chip containing tungsten to the right temperature and then introduced a vapor containing tellurium.
"Through good fortune and finding exactly the right conditions, these elements will chemically react and combine to form a monolayer, or three-atom-thick regions of this material," Johnson said.
Although this material degrades extremely rapidly in air, Naylor, the paper's first author, figured out ways to protect the material so that it could be studied before it was destroyed.
One thing the researchers found is that the material grows in little rectangular crystallites, rather than the triangles that other materials grow in.
"This reflects the rectangular symmetry in the material," Johnson said. "They have a different structure so they tend to grow in different shapes."
Although the research is still in its beginning stages and the researchers haven't yet been able to produce a continuous film, they hope to conduct experiments to show that it has the topological electronic properties that are predicted.
One property of these topological systems is that any current traveling through the material would only be carried on the edges, and no current would travel through the center of the material. If researchers were able to produce single-layer-thick materials with this property, they may be able to route an electrical signal to go off into different locations.
The ability of this material to have multiple properties could also have implications in quantum computing, which taps into the power of atoms and subatomic phenomena to perform calculations significantly faster than current computers. These 2-D materials might allow for an intrinsically error-tolerant form of quantum computing called topologically protected quantum computing, which requires both semiconducting and superconducting materials.
"With these 2-D materials, you want to realize as many physical properties as possible," Johnson said. "Topological electronic states are interesting and they're new and so a lot of people have been trying to realize them in a 2-D material. We created the material where these are predicted to occur, so in that sense we've moved towards this very big goal in the field."
The work was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, National Institute of Health and federal Department of Energy.

If you do not want to borrow from it, you could even money it out and start more than on it again.
To preserve some cash think about switching to once-a-year daily life insurance coverage premiums alternatively of regular monthly lifestyle insurance policies premiums. Some daily life insurance coverage providers will cost you further charges if you spend for your rates month-to-month, so, if achievable, pay your yearly premiums in 1 lump sum at the starting of each and every calendar year.
If you are operating with an advisor to get lifestyle insurance policies, and this individual is not fitting your requirements, it is crucial to know that you are capable to look for another 1. You want to make confident you are functioning with an seasoned, well-informed advisor who is hunting out for your greatest interests.
Try out to direct a healthier lifestyle. The more healthy you are the less costly your daily life insurance policy will be as insurance coverage suppliers assume that you will reside more time.

The quality is reduce on these compared to the independent types. The coverage does not change with this coverage, it is just less expensive.
1 of the most essential factors when choosing on a lifestyle insurance coverage coverage is picking which business to get it from. There are numerous organizations that provide life insurance coverage and some provide procedures at considerable reductions in comparison to others. Nevertheless, not all businesses are financially steady enough to reliably shell out off potential claims on your insurance. These firms usually have reduced credit rating ratings. Though receiving a excellent offer for your money is essential, it is significantly much more essential to select a organization with a substantial credit history rating as they are more most likely to be about to satisfy their duties. You might require to amend your existence insurance coverage policy if you have altered your occupation.

Maintain in head the guidelines that have been coated in this report and you are sure to do a good occupation in maintaining your liked types covered, way too.


The biggest challenge to treating patients with diabetes isn't doling out medications, it's making sure that people control their habits. Poor diet and lack of exercise generally create complications with the disease. To combat the problems, researchers in the diabetes division of Sanofi US took an unusual step for Big Pharma: they went social, jumping into online networking with a Facebook page, Twitter presence, and eventually three different engagement platforms.
Sanofi now helps direct and police those interactions online. The company won't release total visitor numbers, but it has about 4,000 followers on Facebook and another 4,000 on Twitter, all of whom are sharing links to broader content. And for better or worse that community is going to grow: About 8 percent of Americans or roughly 26 million people have diabetes, and the Centers for Disease Control predicts that as many as one third of us could have the disease by 2050.
But the social frontier is potentially prickly for Sanofi because the FDA has not yet written the rules about how pharmaceuticals are allowed to engage with potential customers and patients. The only guidelines came out in a December 2011 advisory statement declaring that while allowing virtual comments about things like off-label uses isn't technically illegal, it's shady territory; basically, pontificate at your own risk. "We are working on the area and it's something we feel is important but we don't have a specific timeline right now," says Ernest Voyard, senior regulatory council at the FDA's Office of Prescription Drug Promotion.
For Sanofi, drawing up their own social media strategy is also a defensive move: In 2010, the company's cancer division suffered a PR nightmare after a patient, who claimed to have experienced permanent hair loss from one of their treatment drugs, posted complaints and photos on that group's unmonitored Facebook page. John Mack, the editor of Pharma Marketing News, which tracks shifts in the pharmaceutical industry, says such hits are common anytime you try to pioneer a new space. "They've had some rough times, but they are learning a lot," he adds.
Mack considers Sanofi a leader in the category, especially compared with the offerings from other companies. Diabetes juggernaut Novo Nordisk sponsors IndyCar driver Charlie Kimball to tweet @racewithinsulin, including when he injects with their products. And Pfizer's ThinkScienceNow blog about developments and advances in research is wonky but not exactly customer friendly.
Sanofi has created a template they hope will eventually be deemed both acceptable to the FDA and cool for customers. The lessons they've learned in the last two years is a valuable addition to The Social Media Roadmap from our current issue.
When she took over as social media director, one of the first things Kolodjeski did was post a bio with a photo of herself online at DiscussDiabetes to show who was moderating. She also disclosed that she wasn't diabetic. Why? To build trust, the kind community members might not have for a faceless company run by mostly non-diabetics. The message: "If Laura is going to work every day to solve [issues] on our behalf, then others must be doing the same," Kolodjeski says.
To explain their business interest, Kolodjeski also interviewed Dennis Urbaniak, the head of the company's U.S. diabetes business unit to explain what he calls the "360-degree partner" principle–an effort to inspire others to talk more and tap into that as a focus group for new ideas.
Sanofi launched their diabetes Facebook and Twitter handles in September 2010 mainly to offer news updates about the company and its offerings. On Facebook, any clinical questions were directed to a separate tab and often answered privately. On Twitter, medical concerns were covered via direct message. What was missing was a way to collect various poster's lifestyle tips and inspirational messages all in one place. In January 2011, the company launched DiscussDiabetes to address that. They also run their own stories about successes, including highlights from A1C Champions, another company sponsored group of diabetics who have maintain the best or "A1C" target range of blood sugar levels.
By March of this year, the company took a look at the discussions that were being generated and realized that terms like A1C weren't actually as universally understood as they once thought. To speed that learning curve, they launched Diabetepedia, which provides both simple definitions and links to other sites showing how terms are actually used in other online conversations.
The final step: After noticing how activity at Diabetepedia was spiking, Sanofi launched another site collecting lots of the content they were already linking to all in one place. The DX, which launched at the end of May, hosts daily dispatches by both Kolodjeski and stable of already popular bloggers (none of whom are paid directly) that include everything from a diabetes related comic strip to mommy blogs for parents with diabetic kids. "We really allowed the community to help identify what might be useful to them and where they might go next," Kolodjeski says.
The medical glossary at Diabetepedia doesn't just provide standard definitions to complex terminology, users are encouraged to submit their own entries, creating a sort of slang dictionary that makes complicated stuff more relatable to newcomers. For instance, glucoaster: that's shorthand for "a rollercoaster of blood glucose levels, with blood sugar lows followed by blood sugar highs." User contributions have helped the database grow by 30 percent to include more than 150 terms, all of which make it easier to users themselves to better convey thoughts in future postings.
The company also considers each media outpost an exclusive "channel," which means there is lots of cross-posting of content from different platforms to make sure users who only tune into one place are being best served. "We certainly have people that overlap but for the most part people have selected which channel they feel represented by and communicate through," Kolodjeski says. But at each stop, the company still tries to crowdsource bigger ideas.
This year, they asked users to help set priorities for the company's annual Data Design Diabetes Innovation Challenge, which asks individuals, businesses and non-profits to create new initiatives for using big data to help others struggling with the disease. To help brainstorm for that, Sanofi's social media troop was given the chance to visit a competition homepage and answer questions about what aspects of life with the disease might be consistently overlooked or ignored. Their answers were used to shape a final guideline for contestants that solutions must address the overall wellness and family life of patients, not just symptom mediation. The winner: a program created by the n4a Diabetes Care Center that matches people with certain cost or risk profiles directly to the services they might need to slow the progression or expense of the disease. Mood problems can be addressed by better disease management, hopefully cutting into the 18 percent of all diabetics who require hospitalization each year.
Correction: An earlier version of this article said that iBGStar came on the market in 2011, it was released in May 2012.

The subjects offered in the kindergarten aim to introduce gradually everyday and school vocabulary in a leisure and enjoyable manner in contextualized activities developed in the various environments of the school, in order that children appropriate naturally the second language and proposed content. In our approach, we lean on audio-visual resources in order to stimulate first, auditory and oral skills in our students and illustrate what is being proposed because English is not the only one, but the main vehicle of communication between teachers and students.
It is in Elementary school that the systematization of English language becomes more comprehensive, with a curriculum that will improve in all skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and content. In the first two grades of Elementary School, the emphasis still focuses on oral and visual skills. From the third grade forward is that reading and writing begin to be worked more intensely. From the fourth grade reading and writing begin to be developed focusing on the structure and text genres competence, in addition to deepening our studies in science.
The discipline of Modern English language becomes more focused on all skills, and students are divided by level of knowledge so they can deepen the study and practice the second language in a more intense manner in small groups. Studies in science and geography are highlighted in practical lessons in science laboratories in the discipline of Environment and Human Development. At the same time, American and British literature begins being studied in Reading and Writing Strategies, when some of the major literary works, as well as the lives of its writers, becomes a focus of study. The last grade of Middle School aims that our students be able to identify and write in various discursive and textual genres as well as along the lines of the main English language proficiency tests.
Glimpsing the careers of our students, the improvement of the English language happens in English classes with reduced number of students per class, grouped by level of proficiency. In addition to language skills, the entrance exams become part of our studies.


When is the last time you asked yourself why you do what you do?
And just one of several key questions that we rarely – if not ever – ask ourselves in the daily fire-fight of life and business.
We are so consumed by what we 'should' and 'have' to do – that we never just STOP to ask ourselves what are we doing and most importantly – why are we doing it?
When I share my experiences of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder) & heightened Anxiety to Boardrooms, Events & Expos all over the world – the thing that people resonate with most after I Speak is that they now understand how Anxiety – in all of it forms – conditions us and shapes our existence.
I have been a high performing, highly successful business person for a long time before a breakdown made me re-evaluate myself, my direction and reconnect to who I really am – without the limits I had imposed on myself.
It also allowed me to take a step back and look at my 'life blueprint' and it was completely dictated by self-limitation, conditioning from past experiences and also from too much time spent people pleasing and never focussing on what I wanted to do.
And here's the real kick – it was all down to ME!
We are completely in control of our choices, reactions and goals – even if we cannot control the circumstances that happen around them.
I always say – when helping other people to share their stories – that for once you should be selfish – and rightly so – because the dynamic soon changes when you get to hear how your actions have helped other people.
Back to topic though – why do you do what you do?
Not just in Business – but in Life?
Here's my example – for a long time I wanted to own my own factory.
I'm not sure what it made – widgets or something! But they'd be the best widgets you'd ever seen.
I'd employ lots of people and have an office with mahogany walls, desks and accessories!
It'd have machines, vans, posh stationery – the absolute works!
BUT – when I asked myself that question – when I questioned my intentions – that wasn't my dream.
My family run a successful business – a factory, with people, with mahogany offices, with machines, vans & posh stationery – and it closed.
So – I had put myself on some quest to put things right and that was what I chased – but that wasn't my dream – it was my conditioning.
Actually, I wanted to be a Country Singer – but to be honest, I can't sing very well – unless you ask my Mum!
But if you think about what I do now – as an Inspirational Speaker – I engage audiences, I am on stage, I thrive on the buzz of the room, I have a personal brand – plus I quite often wear a cap, jeans and chequered shirt!
All of the kicks I would get from being a Country Singer – the same emotions, feelings and vibes – just a little different.
So I'll leave you with this question – what did you want to be when you grew up?
Reconnect with those feelings – ask yourself what do you love, what makes you happy and doing what you do now – is that your dream – or someone elses?
Because – like many people I speak to – if it's an Astronaut – sure, you may not ever be a Astronaut – but make sure you align yourself with the feeling of being one – excitement, adventure, travel – you'll feel a whole lot happier!
Is success a 'copy and paste game'?

UNHCR Ends Refugee Status for Angolans
Tuesday 3 July, 2012 - 11:40
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) says Angolans and Liberian refugees who live abroad are no longer regarded as refugees.
UNHCR spokesperson, Adrian Edwards, points out that, their refugee status came to an end on 30 June 2012 because both countries 'have enjoyed many years of peace and stability after bitter civil wars'.
Edwards says that the agency is working with the governments of origin and of asylum to find solutions for refugees who wish either to return home or to remain in their host countries.

Gay Asylum Discriminated in SA – PASSOP
Wednesday 27 June, 2012 - 9:34
A study by the People Against Suffering Oppression and Poverty (PASSOP), has found that gay African asylum seekers struggle to find work and battle homophobic discrimination in South Africa, the continent's only nation to allow same-sex marriage.
Interviews with 25 Africans by PASSOP found that 90 percent were jobless and that nearly all felt unsafe because of their sexuality or gender identity despite having fled their own countries to escape being targeted.

UNHCR Warns of Refugee Crisis
Tuesday 5 June, 2012 - 15:51
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has warned that 2011 saw the largest number of new refugees in the last decade and that the trend is set to continue.
This is according to Antonio Guterres, high commissioner for refugees at the UN, speaking during the launch of the UNHCR's flagship report on the state of the world's refugees.
With this year's theme, 'In Search of Solidarity', the report explores key challenges that are fueling a refugee epidemic and making it harder for humanitarian agencies to reach those desperately in need.

Zille Slammed Over 'Refugee Comment'
Thursday 29 March, 2012 - 12:17
Former Rivonia trialist, Dennis Goldberg, has added to criticism against Western Cape Premier, Helen Zille, on her comments labelling certain learners as refugees.
Speaking at the Wynberg High School during the 50 year anniversary celebrations of Umkhonto Wesizwe, Goldberg points out that, "The apartheid problem of coloured people who are saying why do these blacks come into our country."
He is questioning the reason why Zille talks about economic refugees of people who were excluded by influx controls and pass laws, who are now free to share in their country.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) says that about 3 000 people have been displaced in the Democratic Republic of Congo's north-east amid renewed rebel attacks since the start of the year.
UNHCR spokesperson, Fatoumata Lejeune-Kaba, points out that the agency is very concerned at the recent displacement of several thousand people as a result of renewed attacks by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).
Lejeune-Kaba states that abducted civilians are often used as porters, while the LRA forces young women into sexual slavery.

Monday 13 February, 2012 - 15:30

International: Women, Climate Change and Migration
Monday 5 December, 2011 - 10:33
The dramatic changes to weather patterns as a result of climate change will have dire consequences on agriculture, the major source of food and income for Africa's small scale farmers, the majority of whom are women.
Millions of people will be forced to migrate as they seek better living environments to sustain themselves and their families as the land becomes unproductive. Not enough is being done in national adaptation strategies to acknowledge the different gender dimensions of climate change and migration.

Closure of Port Elizabeth Refugee Reception Office
We are shocked, distressed and disappointed over the Department of Home Affairs' abrupt and unexpected decision to permanently close the (Port Elizabeth) Refugee Reception Office at the end of November. As organisations intimately involved in the protection and support of refugees and asylum seekers, we find it completely unacceptable that all stakeholders were not consulted. We were only informed late last week that no new applications for asylum would be accepted after Friday, 21 October 2011.

Designing a Youth Action Plan for South Australia
This online engagement was hosted on YourSAy from 9 July 2019 to 2 August 2019. Below is a record of the consultation process.
We are inviting young people aged 12-24 to help shape a new three-year Youth Action Plan for South Australia.
What is being decided?
We are developing a Youth Action Plan for South Australia and invite young people aged 12-24 to tell us how we can work better together to achieve the best outcomes for young South Australians on the issues that most concern them.
From previous reports, we have identified four key areasContinue reading
From previous reports, we have identified four key areas that are important to young people:
Learn and Earn
Connect and Grow
Wellbeing and the Environment
Fairness and Inclusion
We will use these four areas as a foundation for engaging with young people and stakeholders across the development of the Youth Action Plan.
How can your input influence the decision?
We want to hear many different voices so that the Youth Action Plan is representative of South Australia's diversity. We want to involve young people at all stages of development – designing, delivering and reviewing – to make sure we are targeting their needs and designing actions that will make a difference.
To achieve this, we will be forming a Youth Panel to help design a three-year Youth Action Plan for South Australia with other young people, representatives from government and representatives from key non-government organisations.
We invite you to take part in the development of the Youth Plan:
Learn more about the Youth Panel and then nominate to join before 9am on Monday 29 July 2019
Complete the online survey and help us understand young people's priorities
Email your thoughts to youthplan@sa.gov.au
Join the online discussion
How will your input be used?
The input of young people at this stage will inform the design of the Youth Action Plan. At later stages, we'll be checking in again with young people and the broader community on the draft Youth Action Plan.
Learn more about what is planned for future stages and how you can get involved in them on the background page.
The Youth Action Plan is expected to be finalised by the end of 2019 and implemented from 2020.
Closing dates:
Youth Panel Nomination, 9.00am on Monday 29 July 2019
All other feedback, 5.00pm on Friday 2 August 2019
This online engagement was hosted on YourSAy from 9 July 2019 to 2 August 2019. Find out more about the consultation process. Below is a record of this engagement.
This is the first of several stages in developing a Youth Action Plan for South Australia.
Young South Australians have been sharing their aspirations, passions, ideas and concerns, and we have been listening.
We have drawn from research and sector reports to establish four areas of concern for young people in South Australia:
Gathering youth insights (this engagement)
Preparation for this stage has been informed by a number of recent youth consultations and research findings that collectively represent the aspirations and concerns of more than 6,000 young South Australians:
Mission Australia's 2018 Youth Survey
Commissioner for Children and Young People's 2017 Listening Tour Report
UN 2018 Youth Representative Report
reports by the Youth Affairs Council of South Australia (YACSA) and Youth Parliament.
Although other reports were reviewed too, these were the main ones that demonstrated a range of views across many areas. As other reports emerge, for example the work of the Child Development Council, we will take them into account too.
The Department of Human Services has already used the four themes to guide discussions at a SA Youth Week event with YMCA SA Youth Parliament representatives in April 2019. This gathering affirmed the relevance of the themes to a diverse group of young people in South Australia, who provided specific ideas for action under each.
Young people aged 12-24 are now invited to complete the Youth Survey before 5.00pm on Friday 2 August 2019.
We are also inviting you to nominate to join a Youth Panel that will help design the Youth Action Plan. To nominate, you will need to complete the Panel Nomination form before 9.00am on Monday 29 July 2019.
Planned Enagements with Other Partners
As well as working with young people, we are talking to many partners to inform the Youth Action Plan.
Engaging with advocates
Key stakeholders including the Commissioner for Children and Young People, the Commissioner for Aboriginal Children and Young People, the Guardian for Children and Young People, the Child Development Council and the Youth Affairs Council will be invited to engage in the Youth Panel process.
Establishing a cross-government Task Group
State Government representatives have been identified and invited to form a Task Group for the Youth Action Plan development. The Task Group will provide cross-government oversight during the development of the Youth Action Plan, and will work with representatives from the Youth Panel to identify deliverables and opportunities to co-design policies and programs that align with the plan's priorities.
Broader consultation and finalising the Plan
A draft Youth Action Plan will be released for broad community feedback. The Youth Action Plan is expected to be finalised by the end of 2019 and implemented from 2020.
Additional Information and Updates
Strong Futures: SA Youth Action Plan 2020-2022 was launched on Friday 17 April 2020 at the start of SA Youth Week.
We will facilitate ongoing engagement with young people across all stages of the Plan and will report back on the Plan's progress annually to the Social Affairs Cabinet Committee.
The Plan is designed to be flexible and responsive to ongoing feedback and changing priorities.
Learn about the Youth Panel and then nominate to join before 9.00am on Monday 29 July 2019
Your feedback must be received by 5.00pm on Friday 2 August 2019.
The Youth Panel
Are you aged 12 – 24? Do you want to work together to build the best future for young people in South Australia?
