From Google co-founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, to Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, to inventor, Thomas Alva Edison, many of the world's greatest innovators have interestingly come from Montessori educations. (Here's a list of them in case you're interested) It says a lot about the effectiveness of the method in developing lifelong learners and successful people.
One such Montessori school in the Philippines is The Abba's Orchard Montessori School, which was founded in 1999. Currently, the school has 13 branches all over the country focused on spreading the Montessori principles.
With their increasing number of campuses comes growing HR and administrative requirements. According to Angelo Barrameda, Managing Director of The Abba's Orchard, time and attendance and payroll has been one of the most frustrating issues the school encounters. The school's payroll was prone to error because everything is manual. From their log sheets to leave management, their manual system created an inaccurate and inefficient payroll.
So they partnered with Bridge People Solutions, with the PayDay service as their payroll provider of choice. Now, The Abba's Orchard can get their personnel data in real-time, speeding up their payroll processing. The school is now able to view attendance, leave management, and payslips online while leaving all the heavy payroll work to the PayDay team. According to Angelo, "PayDay fully manages our payroll and even 201 files", allowing them to focus on the work of educating amazing students.

Kantaro Biosciences, the new joint venture of Mount Sinai Health System and Renalytix AI, will develop and scale production of antibody test kits for SARS-CoV-2
Mount Sinai Health System and Renalytix AI today announced the formation of Kantaro Biosciences, LLC, a Mount Sinai venture, to develop and scale production and distribution of a test kit based on the Mount Sinai-developed high-performance serologic assay for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.
Kantaro has partnered with Minneapolis-based Bio-Techne Corporation to develop and launch the new kit, with the goal of producing more than ten million patient tests per month by July. The two companies have formed a joint commercialization and distribution team to support the rapid distribution of kits to clinical laboratories in the US and around the world.
Kantaro's SARS-CoV-2 test kits are designed for use in any authorized clinical testing laboratory without the need for proprietary equipment. The technology underlying the kits was created by a team of internationally recognized scientists and clinicians, including members from the Departments of Microbiology and Pathology, Molecular and Cell-Based Medicine within the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
The original Mount Sinai test was validated in The Mount Sinai Hospital's Clinical Laboratories, and has been performed on over 30,000 patient samples. The Kantaro test kit, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), builds on this test technology and is designed to measure the presence or absence of anti-COVID-19 antibodies in addition to measuring the titer (level) of antibodies a person has produced. The kit will utilize not one, but two virus antigens, the full-length spike protein, and its receptor binding domain, necessary for viral entry into cells.
Mount Sinai developed the underlying assay in response to the critical needs of thousands of patients within the hospital system, including those who were severely ill and could potentially benefit from convalescent plasma for emergency therapy. Mount Sinai was issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clinical testing in its CLIA certified laboratory on April 15th. Kantaro plans to seek EUA for the test kit following final validation.
"Antibody testing will be critical to providing patients and governments the essential information they need to help the world economies reopen and begin to recover from COVID-19," said Florian Krammer, PhD, Professor of Microbiology at the Icahn School of Medicine. "With the launch of Kantaro, we look forward to bringing a kit based on our highly specific and sensitive test to every corner of the globe." The serological assay developed by Dr. Krammer and colleauges for the screening and identification of human SARS-CoV-2 seroconverters was described in a paper published in Nature Medicine on May 12, 2020.
"We believe that this technology has the potential for providing insight into immunity, and we're working intensely to develop a quantitative version," said Carlos Cordon-Cardo, MD, PhD, Irene Heinz Given and John LaPorte Given Professor and Chair of Pathology, Molecular and Cell-Based Medicine at Mount Sinai. "We expect that future findings will be critical to vaccine development and the development of advanced therapeutics." Due to the large number of COVID-19 patients who have been treated at Mount Sinai, with over 5,000 patients returning home to date, the Mount Sinai technology has been utilized across a large and highly diverse population.

The Jumping Boy
Title: The Jumping Boy
Poet: Geoffrey Hill
Language, it is true, must be interpreted in context, yet equally it must be interpreted out of context, if its true meaning is to be deciphered. Context may resolve an ambiguity of meaning, but it may be the act of resolution and not the meaning settled upon that is the real locus of semantic action. But this is all very abstract, and bears illustration.
In Geoffrey Hill's "The Jumping Boy," the ambiguous sentence is comes in the third stanza: "I / could do that." In the first two stanzas, the poetic voice has presented the jumping boy, "the boy / who jumps as I speak." These stanzas are rich, and it is for lack of time, not material, that I do not analyze them here.
It is this jumping, now described as (possibly) "levitation," that earns the comment, "I / could do that." But here we must choose between two readings: (1) "I could do that if I tried." (2) "I could do that once (but no more)." With hindsight we may see that the first two stanzas hint at a resolution, but it is not firmly provided until the next sentence: "Give my remembrance / to his new body."
With this, the very sentence sags, as the possibility, however remote, of the first reading's braggadocio gives way to the ineluctability of the second reading's weariness. It is as if, in this moment of resolution, we heard the old bones creak. The mismatch of remembrance and body, the incompleteness both of vigorous but unmemoried youth and nostalgiac but effete old age, is brought to the reader's consciousness by forcing him to experience a sentence that, out of context, could be a youthful boast, but, in context, is clearly revealed as a nostalgic wisp.
We thus return to our opening thought: language must be interpreted out of context if its true meaning is to be deciphered. We must look at the possibilities excluded by its resolution into actuality.
In Ipsley Church Lane I
Title: In Ipsley Church Lane I
"In Ipsley Church Lane I" is a tangle, metrically speaking, a blank verse poem with, by my count, a total of four lines in perfect iambic pentameter. Yet there is no sense of chaos. Rather of deliberate control. A few of the variations are exhilarating, and deserve comment.
Clogged thorn-blossom sticks, like burnt cauliflower,
to the festered hedge-rim.
As I read these lines, the stresses fall on the bolded syllables. On this reading, the first line is entirely in falling meter, with two double trochees separated by a regular trochee. Fitting such an extreme departure into the poem could be difficult, but Hill manages it ably, ending the prior line with a feminine ending that creates some space, some breathing room prior to the abrupt and heavy "Clogged thorn-blossoms."
The effect of this variation is dazzling. The stresses fall on words that, for lack of a more apt description, I can only call thick: 'clogged', 'thorn', 'sticks', 'burnt'. This leaves 'blossom' and 'flower' unstressed, calling attention to the ugliness of the image. The "clogging" of the stresses, tied up as so many of them are in double trochees, only enhances this ugliness.
The next line, which I have only partially quoted, returns to pentameter, but with an opening anapestic substitution (and another later in the line). This completes the effect, creating a space of four consecutive unstressed syllables (enabled by the heavy pause due to the end-stoppage of the previous line) that only heightens the effect of the previous line's clumping of stresses.
The final two lines of the poem contain less drastic but equally potent variations:
Where the quick spider mummifies its dead
rage shall move somnolent yet unappeased.
Here there are only two substitutions (or three, depending on how you count): a double iamb in the first line, and a line-opening trochee in the second. Yet the effect is tremendous. Whereas the double trochees above clogged the rhythm, here the first line skates by. The slight clustering of stresses in "quick spider," rather than slow down the line's movement, instead feels like two quick, darting jabs. Introduced as they are by the very light, completely unstressed "where the," the first five syllables of the line pass in a flash. The rest of the line continues this quick movement: "mummifies" flows easily, and thus we don't slow down at all until "dead," by which time we get a much deserved rest.
But then the next line kicks in with its opening stress: "rage." This is a classic substitution, one of if not the most common, the line-opening trochee. Frequently such substitutions involve a verb, an action that starts the line with a jolt, but here the noun "rage" serves just as well in this capacity. Immediately, however – and this is where the rhythmic variation switches from "effective" to "genius" – the line slows down. Though neither in fact takes a stress, both "shall" and "move," could do so in other contexts. They are only unstressed relative to their surroundings, making the opening four syllables incredibly heavy. "Somnolent" continues this plodding. Contrast it with "mummifies." Where the three syllables of the latter all slur together, each syllable of "somnolent" stands distinctly apart. A harsh "m/n" replaces the smooth "m/m," and a similarly sharp break occurs with the second syllable break (compare "no/lent" with "pol/len"). "Unappeased" contains similarly discrete syllables, and so moves with similar lethargy.
The promise of rage with which the line begins thus soon becomes mired in somnolence, in contrast to the quick jabs of the spider in the line above. Here the discrepancy between the lines is primarily created not by a heavy use of substitutions (though the two substitutions aid the effect), but by a careful attention to the rhythmic variations possible even within pure iambs.
Such is a taste of the rhythmic mastery of this poem. Many more rewards await the attentive reader.
Chromatic Tunes
Title: Chromatic Tunes
I do not pretend to be able to put together the four pieces of this poem – five if one includes the title. Thus I shall focus on but one part. Perhaps articulating some small observation will bring its companions in tow. Perhaps not. We shall see. This suffices for an apology.
Here are the lines under consideration:
featureless idling strews the wintry strands;
woods bare their clutter; sea birds appear
to boister with the waves, to wrench themselves
windborne. The soughing moon-tide's hulkingness,
massive passivity, works its gnarls of light.
What stands out from these lines – aside from their utter shift in content from the rest of the poem – is a certain paradoxical quality. This is most obvious in the lines about the "soughing moon-tide." This is described as a "massive passivity," and yet immediately we see it as it "works its gnarls of light" – that is, we see it active. And now alert for this, we see it elsewhere. "featureless idling," another sort of passivity, nonetheless is joined to a quite active verb: "strews." And the woods, which cannot act at all, nonetheless "bare their clutter." The description of the seabirds is trickier. 'Boisterous' implies rough, turbulent behavior – but especially conjoined to wind and weather. Hill's "boister with the waves" thus suggests that it is the waves that are actively boisterous, while the birds merely follow. And yet they "wrench themselves / windborne." Each of the four images thus creates an expectation of passivity, only to show activity in it after all.
Does this relate to the rest of the poem? It must, but I can only conjecture as to how. The opening lines describe erotic dreams, but insist that the speaker does not "spend desire / that things should be so." Here perhaps is passivity, of sorts, and yet it is the speaker who "conclude[s] erotic dreams" – activity. And at the end the question is whether to go (active) or stay (passive). But perhaps these are simply forced associations, for I do not yet see the central organizing principle of the poem.
I have reached the end of my powers; "Further I cannot judge"…
Title: Without Title
This is an essay in the truest sense, an attempt, an endeavor at interpretation, but certainly nothing final. It takes, in my experience (n=2) an hour to read a poem by Geoffrey Hill, an hour before the words begin to, if not quite speak, at least suggest in unison. On a first and even a tenth pass, suggestions abound, but in clamorous, quarrelsome voices. But on the eleventh…
'Pheromones', the first word of "Without Title," is a misdirection, and not for the reason explicitly given: "something other / bemuses mourning." It suggests a sexual attraction, and thus we expect the poem to have a woman as its subject. The later mention to "vows unmade / shared life aborted" only furthers this sense. Yet it later it is "my fellow townsman" who appears to be gone, as we watch the poetic voice "culling the bay bowers to which he [the townsman] / cannot return." And it is "his" sign ("a bloom-struck cherry bough") that is contrasted with "ours."
The death in question, then, is of the townsman. The poem queries the possibility of a "restitution" of the relationship, concluding, "no restitution but with wired laurels." These laurels are the key: the plant is symbolic of poetry, and forces on me the conclusion that the relationship between the poetic voice and the dead man was a poetic one, perhaps akin to that between the voice of Shakespeare's sonnets and the beautiful youth. Of course this need not mean it is not sexual, in one form or another.
Even if this should be entirely wrong, I may still appreciate the recollection of this relationship as resting on "a genius / for misconception" – indeed I may hope that such genius may characterize my own reading.
Thus far, and no further, have I made it through this thicket.
Improvisation on 'O Welt ich muss dich lassen'
Title: Improvisation on 'O Welt ich muss dich lassen'
When Geoffrey Hill says, in the middle of Improvisation on 'O Welt ich muss dich lassen', "I had a dream in which this all is real," what he means is not what the clause first suggests. What is real is not what has just been described – the cheap comedians, a goose rehearsing its honk, a longing Bacchantic immortality. This show, and the longing that it should never end, or at least that it should have an after-party, rather, is precisely what is unreal.
What is real, rather, is the end of the show, "where we rip off our masks" and accept that we must leave the world. What is real is a world where "Dead friends are no remoter than in life," where "I can tell / limbo-dancers from wizards." Here, where one can distinguish the genuine from the performative, is reality.
But just as our poet can insist upon this, "It's curtains"—not merely a return to the show but a return to it just at its end. The dream ends: he awakens to the end of this unreal dream.


The Spinal Surgery Outcomes Laboratory seeks to understand how various spinal surgical procedures and disease management strategies affect patient clinical outcomes. By applying statistical methodologies to large patient data sets we hope to discover novel findings that help advance spine surgery clinical practice and improve patient outcomes. Current research areas include: minimally invasive spine surgery, endoscopic spine surgery, spinal trauma, spinal tumors, spinal infections, spinal deformity and degenerative spinal disease.
We work in partnership with the RIH 3D lab developing 3D segmental models of the spine for patients with possible spinal instability. We use these models to perform quantitative biomechanical analysis of different spine pathologies to determine if instability is present.


Thousands of safe scuba dives are made in the United States each year. Divers Alert Network, the parent company of DAN Boater has been providing medical assistance and advice to this community for 35 years and offers medical guidance and information to boaters who also participate in scuba. Like boating, there are rules for safe participation in scuba and scuba does require a certification.
Scuba is a safe water activity for boaters who follow and practice established rules and guidelines. A training course will familiarize students with underwater and human physiology as well as learning basic physical skills. Students also learn how to use and maintain scuba equipment. Training is the first step to safe scuba.
Safe diving, like safe boating starts with a plan. The diving boater should know their intended dive site: i.e., where to avoid the strong currents, is the dive site a coral formation, a wall or a ledge, when is high and low tide, how much temperature protection (wet suit) should be used and how deep and how long is the intended dive? The dive plan is like a float plan. The occasional diver should always dive with another diver (buddy) and let onshore family or friends know where they will be and when to expect their return. Use a dive flag buoy to warn boaters of diver presence underwater, avoid lanes of high boating traffic and always have at least one person on the boat to be there when you surface. Plan the dive and diving the plan are essential safe scuba traits.
A key difference with scuba is the potential for injury. Gas bubbles (nitrogen) can form in body tissues when a diver ascends rapidly, goes too deep and stays too long causing Decompression Sickness. This is avoided by following established dive tables that greatly reduce the potential for scuba related health problems. Another potential problem is breath holding when close to the surface, but especially when ascending at the end of a dive. This can over pressurize the lungs and force air in to the arterial blood causing an Arterial Gas Embolism. So planning a dive, knowing the dive site and following the rules are logical steps in safe, successful and enjoyable scuba diving.
The most common injury is actually a pressure trauma to the linings of the sinuses and middle ear spaces. Never attempt dives when congested or getting over a head cold as the mucus membrane that lines these spaces often remains inflamed and swollen for several weeks after other cold symptoms have resolved. Middle ear pressure trauma is the number one scuba related injury.
There is no upper age limit for divers, but appropriate physical fitness is important for divers to avoid injury. Diving appears to be effortless as divers float along through the water. At some level this is true, but divers must have a healthy heart and lungs to cope with the increased work load of breathing a cold, dense gas and a healthy heart to manage shifts in blood volume. Divers also need the physical strength and fitness to swim against mild to moderate currents. Physical ability and fitness is a necessity part of safe diving. All participants must be physically capable of handling unexpected physical demands such as currents or assisting another diver. The upper limit of participation is based on fitness, not necessarily age.
Scuba is not just about cleaning the bottom of the boat, it can safely be undertaken by anyone who is fit, knowledgeable in scuba practice and has taken a certification course. Injuries associated with diving are almost 100% avoidable, if guidelines and dive related factors are taken into consideration. Finally, have an emergency contingency place in the event there is an injury or symptoms after the dive. DAN Boater and Divers Alert Network is there to help in an emergency.

Maria's Pick: Exploring Lyric Music Videos
IndiestreetMusic Subway
The last couple of years have seen an explosion of lyric music videos. They are less expensive and easier to make than regular music videos and they keep fans on the channels of artists rather than give them the opportunity of exploring unofficial sources. So, it has become somewhat of a custom for well known artists to do one or two lyric music video for tracks they are also planning to release. Most of them are quite straight-forward. Some, however, are rather creative. Here are three fresh releases, worthy of your time! Green Day – Too Dumb To Die A very beautiful collage style video with a retro look, this promo is an absolute joy to watch. Smart use of typography fusing brilliantly with the simple yet effective animations, all incorporated in MiraRuido's aesthetic. The director is actually called Joseba Elorza and comes from Basque County in Spain. He studied to become a sound technician but his evening hobby of working on collages later prompted him to become an illustrator/animator.
Taylor Swift – Look What You Made Me Do Before there was the super expensive video everybody liked to talk about, Taylor released this beautiful ode to Saul Bass a.k.a 'the man who changed graphic design'. Created by ODD and produced by Taylor herself, together with Joseph Kahn, director of her official promo, this lyric video is (we think!) waaay more witty and interesting than the live action one.
P!nk – What About Us A more low budget lyric video but with a very special approach to the actual typography. Mimicking handwriting, the words become harder to read in the songs' more emotional and dramatic moments. As a matter of fact, a number of fans have complained that the promo defies the whole idea of a lyric music video whose purpose should be to see the actual words that are being sang. But it is this precise illegibility that makes it stand out - not to mention perfectly fits the song's message (that of a deteriorating relationship). Even more so, it also beautifully compliments the stirring live action video directed by Georgia Hudson.

Maria's Pick: The Shins' HALF A MILLION
We're ending the summer in a quirky breezy way with an arts & crafts style video! LAMAR + NIK go back to the simple yet witty concept that made them famous. Before lyric music videos were even a thing, they made this dazzling piece that featured the song's words made of gigantic cardboards. "Magnolia" was everything we loved about indie, low budget productions...not to mention it was also environmentally friendly given the letters were made from discarded cardboards from grocery stores. For The Shins' new video, they chose another tactic - yet, it's still as ground-breaking and impressive: filmed on a white backdrop, edited, then printed out. "Half A Million" was created with 5,566 stickers, hand cut from 4,868 frames and animated by sticking them down on top of each other at each of the 40+ locations. Great concept and an awesome twist for a video based on a band performance!

Converting safari jeeps to electricity
Eva Bergstedt
A group of eco-conscious LiU students has moved to Kenya and started a company devoted to electric safari vehicles. In less than a year it has grown to 28 employees, most of whom are Kenyan engineers.
LiU-studenterna Filip Lövström, Filip Gardler, Johanna Alander och Mikael Gånge moved to Nairobi in summer 2018 and started Opibus, which converts safari vehicles from diesel to electric drive. Photo credit Anna NilsenEvery country has to change its ways, if we are to meet the challenges of climate change. That is the background to the LiU students starting a company in Kenya, to convert fossil-fuel-powered safari vehicles to electric drive.
Mikael Gånge, Filip Gardler, Johanna Alander and Filip Lövström moved to Nairobi in summer 2018 and started Opibus. Photo credit Anna Nilsen"Our aim is to deliver environmental benefits for a better future – but also more equitable development at the global level. Creating jobs here in Kenya is gratifying – and important", says Johanna Alander, production manager and the only one in the LiU group who had time to finish the engineering programme Energy, Environment and Management, before they moved to Nairobi in the summer of 2018.
Photo from safari in Kenya Photo credit BrittakThe plan was primarily to focus on converting safari vehicles from diesel to electricity – and that's what they've done. They've secured a workshop in a dusty industrial district in Nairobi, where diesel and petrol engines are removed, and replaced by pre-built boxes containing the entire electrical drive train. The premises are being renovated to better suit Opibus – the business' name, which is Latin for "resources". But the young owners can already see that they will soon have to expand. Demand for their services is huge.
"The safari parks generally have a lot of money, and they invest consciously in sustainability. Plus, they earn money on the electric vehicles. The vehicles reduce operating costs, they're charged by solar panels, and the tourists love them because they're so quiet. They deliver a far more intense experience of nature", says Sales Manager Mikael Gånge.
The electric safari vehicles are in high demand. "The tourists love them because they're so quiet", says Sales Manager Mikael Gånge. Photo credit Anna NilsenSafari camps from all over East Africa are on the waiting list to have their vehicles converted. And parks from Botswana, South Africa and other countries have made enquiries.
Photo credit iStockBut Opibus' plans include more than safari vehicles. They also want to address the chaotic Nairobi traffic.
"We want to start up a pilot project where we produce 30 new motorcycles with electric engines. And this autumn we hope to get started with the conversion of some of the 150,000 matatus, the local buses in Nairobi", says Filip Gardler, one of the company's two managing directors.
They have applied for permits to build up an infrastructure for charging stations, and they deliver solar panel solutions to customers. The plan is to kick-start the development of electric vehicles in East Africa and other parts of the continent.
Opibus recently received an order to install 300 solar panel systems at schools in rural Kenya, meeting the schools' electricity needs.
"It's amazing, we're directly affecting the ability of students to get an education", says Filip Gardler.
The group of young entrepreneurs doesn't plan to stay in Kenya forever. Perhaps a few years. The objective is to build up a robust company that can subsequently be managed by the Kenyans themselves.
"We're not trying to do the 'Save the World' thing. The idea that many parts of Africa need saving is already firmly established, and we don't want to cement that further. We're building a solid business, and this region has a large growth market that rarely receives attention", says Filip Lövström, also managing director.
Filip Lövström, one of Opibus' two CEOs, speaks with Kenyan engineers Daniel Muugi, Esther Wairimu and Francis Njoroge. Photo credit Anna NilsenSkilled staff are already in place. From day one the founders have collaborated with the Technological University of Kenya, carefully recruiting individuals with the same drive and interest in sustainability as themselves, and with both theoretical and practical knowledge. Two of these are mechanical engineers Esther Wairimu and Daniel Muugi, who recently started at Opibus.
"The idea of converting traditional car engines to electrical motors is brilliant. I get to use all my professional expertise, and can take full responsibility for my work", says Esther Wairimu.
They are both happy to work at a company where they are given plenty of freedom, and responsibility.
"It makes you grow, and everyone benefits from that", adds Daniel Muugi.
Electrical engineer Francis Njoroge also has experience from the tourism industry, and was one of the first employees.
"I use every aspect from my professional training at the same time, I'm not used to that", he says.
Teamwork is important. Together they are breaking new ground.
In the taxi returning from the industrial district, the driver says that yes, he has actually heard about that Swedish company that is into electric motors and solar energy.
He smiles in the rear-view mirror, nodding.
"They're getting into the right thing, it's cool, it's the future."
The five founders are Filip Gardler, LiU, Mikael Gånge, LiU, Filip Lövström, LiU, Kim Popp, Stockholm University and Rawlings Nechavava, Lund University.

Q: Is the map conformal at infinity? Consider the map defined as following:
$$f(z)=\begin{cases}
\frac{z-1}{z}  & \text{if $z \neq 0, \infty$ } \\
\infty & \text{if $z=0$ }\\
1 & \text{if $z=\infty$}
\end{cases}$$
To see if this map is conformal at $\infty$, we should check if $f(1/z)$ is conformal at 0. But then we have:
$$f(1/z)=\begin{cases}
1-z  & \text{if $z \neq 0, \infty$ } \\
\infty & \text{if $z=0$ }\\
1 & \text{if $z=\infty$}
\end{cases}$$
How does this tell me if $f(1/z)$ is conformal at 0? Any help are much appreciated.

A: You forgot to invert the variable at $z=0$ and at $z=\infty$.
$f(1/z)=\infty$ for $z=\infty$
and
$f(1/z)=1$ for $z=0$.
Then $g(z)=f(1/z)=1-z$ near $z=0$, which is analytic, with derivative $g'(0)=-1\neq0$, and therefore conformal.

All clean titles, you should be able to register them with no problems. Please do keep in mind, any vehicle sold through a salvage auction may become salvage due to NMVTIS law (in which case you would have to go through a local reconstruction process to obtain a rebuilt/reconstructed title). This happens extremely rarely, but can happen.

There's a lot of buzz about moringa and its potential to improve human health. What are the facts behind the hype?
The superfood known as moringa (from the moringa tree) contains several thousand times more of the powerful anti-aging nutrient zeatin than any other known plant — and that it also has two compounds that prevent cancer and stop tumor growth.
As someone who had just written about dietitians' reluctance to use the term superfood, I confess to being a touch skeptical. That said, moringa does have a long history of use that dates back to the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians, not to mention a wealth of culinary and traditional medicinal uses.
But are the claims being made backed up by scientific evidence?
Originally cultivated in Northern Africa and India and used to feed both humans and cattle, the tree has since been adopted across much of the globe, including Central and South America and Southeast Asia. The Honduran government, for example, has promoted moringa agroforestry as a potential solution to deforestation.
International charity Trees for Life has gotten behind moringa in a big way, claiming that it may hold the key to combating malnutrition in areas where food insecurity is rife. Claiming that the leaves of the tree contain more vitamin A than carrots, more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach, more vitamin C than oranges, more potassium than bananas, and a protein quality comparable to milk or eggs, it's not hard to understand what has gotten superfood enthusiasts (and marketers) excited.
Jed W. Fahey, a researcher at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, argues that there is plenty of evidence to back up Trees for Life's assertions about the nutritional benefits of moringa for poor communities. Even some of the claims being made around medicinal benefits, specifically the potential for antibiotic and anticancer applications, have been shown to have some merit in clinical trials.
As with many reports of the nutritional or medicinal value of a natural product, there are an alarming number of purveyors of "healthful" food who are now promoting M. oleifera as a panacea. While much of this recent enthusiasm indeed appears to be justified, it is critical to separate rigorous scientific evidence from anecdote. Those who charge a premium for products containing Moringa spp. must be held to a high standard. Those who promote the cultivation and use of Moringa spp. in regions where hope is in short supply must be provided with the best available evidence, so as not to raise false hopes and to encourage the most fruitful use of scarce research capital.
Given that a recent search of the Internet showed up dozens of companies marketing moringa "superfood" powders, capsules and even shampoo, consumers would do well to assess the claims being made by marketers with a critical eye. (It's also worth noting that WebMD warns pregnant and nursing mothers to avoid moringa due to potential complications.) Human history is full of examples of fascinating, useful and powerful discoveries from the plant kingdom. It's also full of examples of quackery, hyperbole and jumping the gun.
There seems little doubt that moringa can play a powerful role in fighting hunger and malnutrition. Whether it can also help us health food enthusiasts to live forever remains to be seen.

Q: If Else statement jQuery What I want to do:
When there is only one .bx-pager-item in .bx-pager, I want to hide .bx-pager.
When there are more, I want to show .bx-pager
I've written this shorthand function:
var n = $(".bx-pager-item").length;
$(".bx-pager").css("display", (n < 2) ? "none" : "block");

This works fine when there's only one .bx-pager on my page, but I want to add more. When I do that it doesn't work anymore. Any suggestions?
JSFiddle

A: You need to loop through all the .bx-pager elements and check for the number of .bx-pager-item elements within each iteration.
$('.bx-pager').each(function() {
    $(this).css("display", $(".bx-pager-item", this).length < 2 ? "none" : "block");
});

Update fiddle

A: use .each in your code:
$('.bx-pager').each(function() {
    var count = $(".bx-pager-item", this).length;
    $(this).css("display", (count < 2) ? "none" : "block");
});

jsFiddle

A: Working fiddle here : http://jsfiddle.net/rGs4t/1/
Using an each on the pagers will do this for you.
JS:
$(".bx-pager").each(function (index, pager) {
    var n = $(".bx-pager-item", pager).length;
    $(pager).css("display", (n < 2) ? "none" : "block");

});

A: You can do this:
$('.bx-pager').each(function () {
    $(this)[($('.bx-pager-item', this).length < 2) ? 'hide' : 'show']();
});

Expanding operations in Russia and in foreign markets, ROSATOM seeks to solve tasks of long-term and sustainable development considering features of each specific region.
Safety of technological solutions, labor conditions and the environment are the unconditional priority of ROSATOM and all its enterprises. Besides, ROSATOM is a socially responsible company which activity produces substantial economic effect on the situation in many regions of the Russian Federation and a number of foreign countries where NPPs and other facilities are being built.
In its activity ROSATOM is guided by the global agenda in the field of sustainable development and adheres to the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact. ROSATOM influences achievement of the UN sustainable development goals (SDG) through sales of its products and financial and economic results of the activity as well as ensuring robustness of internal processes in the field of the environmental impact, social sphere and quality of management.
Nuclear technology forms positive systemic changes for quality of living of humans. At the present time, the product portfolio of the Russian nuclear sector consists of not only of traditional solutions in the field of nuclear power but of new areas such as nuclear medicine, nuclear science and technology centers based on research reactors, complexes for radiation processing of products etc. Besides, ROSATOM expands operations in a number of allied non-nuclear areas: wind power, composite material fabrication, additive technology etc.
It is necessary to note that NPP construction and operation activities greatly contribute to development of economy and infrastructure of the country, both for the Russian Federation and foreign customer-countries, while ensuring long-term sustainable work-load of high-technology productions, orders for allied sectors and creation of jobs for the population with a corresponding contribution to GDP from the profits of the industry and taxes. NPP construction and operation creates jobs for several thousand people at the plant itself and in nuclear infrastructure.
By and large ROSATOM activities influence all 17 SDGs. However, given the scale of influence and features of the Corporation's activity, the key goals are the following: No. 7 ("Affordable and Clean Energy"), No. 8 ("Decent Work and Economic Growth"), No. 9 ("Industry, Innovations and Infrastructure"), No. 12 ("Responsible Construction and Production"), No. 13 ("Climate Action") and No. 17 ("Partnership to Achieve the Goal").
Table. Contribution in achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals in detail
No. 7 NPP ensures stable generation of low carbon electricity during 60 years. ROSATOM directs towards contribution to carbon-free generation, including in development of solutions in the wind power segment.
No. 8 Construction and operation of two-unit NPPs provide jobs for more than 10,000 people in the area of nuclear infrastructure and create more than 3,000 new jobs to work at NPP. Each US dollar invested in a NPP construction project (recalculated in the local currency) brings, on average, US $4,3 to GDP to the host country and, on average, US $1.4 to the host country's budget as taxes.
No. 9 NPP construction and operation provides for building the corresponding infrastructure, development of basic and applied science and national cadre training system.
No. 12 In its production processes ROSATOM seeks to build a "sustainable" chain of supplies. The sector has developed and implemented ROSATOM Production System (RPS) related to observance of the lean production culture. The quality management system has been implemented; international standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 are applied.
The NPP construction and operation projects pay special attention to the management of spent fuel, products of its processing and operating radioactive waste as well as decommissioning of nuclear- and radiation-hazardous facilities. The Corporation's activity in managing the waste is aimed at improvement of environmental safety and preservation of the environment.
No. 13 Electricity generation at NPPs is one of sources of low-carbon energy and has a substantial environmental effect. Operation of NPPs of 1 GW capacity saves about 9 million tons of CO2 a year as compared with coal-fired generation.
No. 17 The sustainable development agenda is actively worked out at the related international platforms: the IAEA and World Nuclear Association (WNA) conferences. In addition to traditional nuclear platforms, ROSATOM is an active participant of the dialogue on sustainable development at the World Energy Council etc.

Shopping for furniture can be a bit daunting. Prices are high or quality is poor and it can be nearly impossible to judge how well something in a store will look in your own space. A good way to save money is to shop online and buy second hand. How then, without the furniture store's free delivery, do you get your new furniture home? With a cheap car hire from CarHireX.com, of course! Our car rental engine can source more than just car hires for travel needs, it is also the best source online for van and truck rental for all your moving needs.
Checking through the local ads are the best way to get started looking for gently used and affordable antique furniture. I highly recommend Craigslist for everything from cars to baby carriages. In fact, I've sold a car on Craigslist and bought a baby carriage. I've also used Craigslist to find a job. It's a basically general classifieds for each city or region. Communicating with sellers is secure and easy. Simply respond to an ad, make an appointment to check out the furniture or other product, then if you need a way to transport it to your house log onto CarHireX.com and reserve your cheap car rental.
In many areas of the world, however, Craigslist is not the most popular local classifieds. In Central and South America, for example, the best places to find local merchandise for a low price on the internet are Mercadolibre and Economicos. Mercadolibre is like a cross between Ebay and Craigslist, where you are required to click "buy" before you will be given the seller's direct contact information, but there is no bidding for items. Economicos is less protective, and lists the seller's personal information like phone numbers in the same way a newsprint classified ad would.
A good deal and a great find is only as affordable as it's transportation. Keep your options open and consider truck, van, or 7 seater car hire for your next online furniture purchase.


It takes confidence to come up to a beautiful and educated woman and start talking to her. This is easy to do if the guy is stupid and rude. Jerks have nothing to lose. They have been rejected for so many times that they are no longer afraid of being rejected once again. This is how they deal with all people. They are too stupid to realize that they need much more to be in a relationship with a perfect woman. Ignore them.

Q: Only top half of div nested in anchor is clickable The basic idea here is I have a font-awesome down arrow inside of a circle div. I want to be able to click the circle and have the page auto-scroll down to just above the circle. Everything about it works except for the fact that only the top half of the circle is clickable. Bootstrap is being used for rows and columns. Browser is Chrome. I'm open to another solution (as long as it's just HTML and CSS) but would also like to know why specifically this bug is occurring.

There are few ways to achieve this, they are all valid, just treat your anchor tag as a clean block element and then position it properly.
UPD
OK, try to keep your section markup as this:

    // some section content

section {
    position: relative;
}

.section-link {
    border-radius: 30px;
    display: block;
    width: 30px;
    height: 30px;
    text-align: center;
    position: absolute;
    left: 50%;
    bottom: -15px;
    margin-left: -15px;
}

A: TL;DR: All of the parents need to have a height set equal to the circle div.
Finally got it working. My solution was setting the height of the row div containing the columns div containing the anchor tag circle div to 30px, like so:
HTML

CSS
.HowItWorks__target {
    position: absolute;
    top: -50px;
}
.HowItWorks__anchorWrapper {
    height: 30px;
}
.HowItWorks__anchor {
    border-radius: 30px;
    width: 30px;
    height: 30px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    text-align: center;
}
.HowItWorks__downArrow {
    color: $white;
    background-color: $brand-blue-dark;
    height: 50px;
    width: 50px;
    border-radius: 100%;
    text-align: center;
    padding-top: 5px;
    padding-left: 3px;
    position: absolute;
    bottom: -20px;
    left: calc(50% - 25px);
}


In late 1994 we decided to move forward in a trial to see if a stronger use and development of technology would be beneficial to our credit union. In 1995 we were the first (there is a large CU that may beg to differ) credit union in Canada to have a web site. That was the start of putting a workable technology strategy into place.
Since that time, we have established a framework of software, hardware and expertise that serves us in moving forward as a small but progressive credit union in the use of technology to solve the needs of the credit union and our membership. We have completed various programs that assist us in our internal operation and which were "firsts" in the credit union system. We have also introduced innovative products to the membership and the marketplace i.e. MemberNote.
We see the future as full of possibilities. Our promise is to make technology relevant to our members and to always have a human aspect as the strongest component in the product or service.
As has been mentioned elsewhere, our measure of success is in terms of the personal relationships we have with our membership, not market share, asset size or annual earnings. Our commitment is to our members. In the coming months, keep an eye on this area of our web site. There will be some unique and very interesting products introduced and some old products enhanced. And if it makes anyone's task easier, then we have accomplished what we set out to do.

'Sovereign' Lady Faces 2 More Charges For Improper Mask-Wearing & Failure To Declare New Address
We hope she will learn from the incident.

40-Year-Old 'Sovereign' S'porean Lady Now Faces 6 Charges
Update (19 May): The Straits Times (ST) reported that 41-year-old Paramjeet Kaur was given 2 additional charges in court on Tuesday (19 May).
The new charges include failing to cover her nose and mouth with a mask at an Upper Thomson food stall on 26 Apr and failing to declare her change of address.
These are on top of 3 counts of flouting 'Circuit Breaker' regulations and 1 count of being a public nuisance, wrote ST.
Additionally, Ms Kaur is no longer represented by Lawyer Satwant Singh. Lawyer Anil Singh Sandhu will now be representing her.
Her case has been adjourned to 2 Jun, with bail set at $10,000
Footage and images of a 40-year-old Singaporean lady wilfully defying rules to wear masks in public on several occasions and calling herself a "sovereign" have been circulating on social media.
On Tuesday (5 May), Paramjeet Kaur – the lady in question – was charged in court a day after she was arrested by the police.
'Sovereign' Shunfu Market Lady Arrested, Minister Shanmugam Calls Her Word Choice "Odd"
She reportedly faces charges for several offences including not wearing a mask and for causing a public nuisance.
'Sovereign' Singaporean lady attended hearing via video call
According to The Straits Times, Kaur attended the court hearing via a video call and had a mask on except when she was speaking.
She was represented by Mr Satwant Singh, who was apparently hired by Kaur's mother.
During the hearing, District Judge Clement Julien Tan requested Kaur to be sent to the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) for 2 weeks to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
Kaur was clearly against this and responded:
Mr Singh later requested to explain the law to Kaur in person before she was sent to IMH.
This, however, was reportedly turned down, as the district judge insisted for it to be done after her time at the hospital.
Will return to court in 2 weeks' time
According to Yahoo! Singapore, Kaur faces several charges, including:
Causing public nuisance
Eating out at a food stall
Not wearing a mask in public
Failure to wear a mask covering the nose and mouth carries a $10,000 fine and a jail term of up to 6 months for first-time offenders.
Repeat offenders will be punished more severely, with a fine of up to $20,000 and a 1-year jail term.
Kaur will return to court in 2 weeks' time on 19 May.
Hope she will be dealt with strictly
While her opinion as an individual may differ from the majority of us, there are still rules that everyone in society should adhere to, such as the compulsory wearing of masks.
We hope Kaur will learn from the incident and so she wouldn't get into trouble with the law in the future.
We hope similar incidents won't occur in the future and that all of us – sovereign or otherwise – will understand the rationale behind safety precautions to keep each other safe.

Imagine what it would be like to start to losing the mosaic of memories that makes you who you are. Imagine what it would be like to wake up in the morning to find out that familiarity escapes your mind's grasp. To look at the faces of your family members and loved ones and find nothing- not a spark of intimacy, not an inkling of that warm feeling in your heart that once was tied to memories of your moments with them. Nothing.
Imagine not being able to remember the way to the restroom in the morning. What would it be like to suddenly forget which toothbrush is yours? What would it be like to not remember the taste of your favorite meal or forgetting whether or not you've eaten that day? Imagine not being able to do the things you have always loved to do, whether it be swimming, photography, art, or something as simple as going up the stairs of your Aunt's house. Imagine getting lost on the way home after you go out on a walk, stranded and alone, not knowing your name or who you are. Those with Down Syndrome have a much higher chance to undergo these experiences in their lifetime. The average prevalence rate of Alzheimer's dementia in people with Down Syndrome is around 15% that increases with age with signs of Alzheimer's dementia showing over the age of 35 compared to the average early onset of Alzheimer's dementia at the age of 40 or 50 (Mayo Clinic, 2018; Nieuwenhuis-Mark, 2009).
Research has found that those with Down Syndrome develop Alzheimer's disease at an average age younger than the mean age for the general population. In a 20-year longitudinal study done by researchers McCarron and Colleagues, following 77 people with Down Syndrome 35 years and older from 1996 to 2015, it was found that 97.4% of those participants developed dementia at a mean age of 55 years old (McCarron et. al., 2017). The manifestation of psychological changes typical of Alzheimer's disease occur in nearly all persons with Down Syndrome over the 40 years old (Tyler and Shank, 1996).
The symptoms of Alzheimer's disease are often debilitating and its consequences can be devastating. Researchers William and Lai followed 96 persons with Down Syndrome and non-treatable dementia for 8 years and found that there are three phases of clinical deterioration in these patients. During the initial phases, individuals with high functioning Down Syndrome spoke less, had trouble with their memory, and had feelings of temporarily traveling through time. Individuals with low functioning Down Syndrome showed: "apathy, inattention, and decreased social interactions" (Tyler and Shank, 1996). During the second phase of dementia, it was noted that those with Down Syndrome had a decline in daily activity performance, deteriorating work performance, and a shuffling gait (Tyler and Shank, 1996). During the second phase, 84% of persons with Down Syndrome also experience tonic-clonic seizures, which cause body stiffness and convulsions. During the final phase of dementia, those with Down Syndrome stopped walking and lost voluntary control over their urination and defecation, and they passed away typically within 3 to 5 years of the onset of their dementia (Tyler and Shank, 1996). This is quicker than individuals without Down Syndrome, who have later ages of dementia onset and slower rates of deterioration (Tyler and Shank, 1996).
The importance of research is tantamount in the fields of medicine and psychology to diagnose, understand, and eventually treat such cases. However, Down Syndrome is the least funded, yet most frequently occurring, chromosomal disorder by the National Institute of Health (Facts and FAQ, 2018). In 2010, Down Syndrome Research Funding took up only 0.0009% of the total NIH Budget of $30,860 million (Research for People, 2018). It is astounding how little is paid to research for such a prevalent genetic disorder.
However, there is hope. More research has been done on the association between dementia and Down Syndrome as well as the diagnoses and interventions. There are now interventions to increase an individual with Down Syndrome's quality of life and maximize their strengths to help them adjust to their changing abilities and needs and live more comfortably by reducing behavioral disturbances (Nieuwenhuis-Mark, 2009). As quoted by Niewenhuis-Mark in their article, "the development of dementia of Alzheimer type is frequent but not inevitable, and some people with DS reach old age without clinical features of dementia" (Nieuwenhuis-Mark, 2009).
Not everyone with Down Syndrome will develop Alzheimer's dementia in old age, therefore research, understanding, and diagnosis is extremely crucial and time sensitive.

(110 ILCS 155/35)
Sec. 35. Sexual misconduct climate survey.
"Base survey" means a base set of common questions recommended by the Task Force on Campus Sexual Misconduct Climate Surveys and approved by the Executive Director of the Board of Higher Education.
"Student" means a person who is enrolled in a public or private degree-granting, post-secondary higher education institution, whether part-time, full-time, or as an extension student, including any person who has taken a leave of absence or who has withdrawn from the higher education institution due to being a victim of sexual misconduct.
"Trauma informed" means an understanding of the complexities of sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking through training centered on the neurobiological impact of trauma, the influence of societal myths and stereotypes surrounding sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, and understanding the behavior of perpetrators.
(b) Each higher education institution shall annually conduct a sexual misconduct climate survey of all students at the institution. Each higher education institution's sexual misconduct climate survey shall include the base survey, which the Board of Higher Education shall provide to the institution every 2 years. Each institution may append its own campus-specific questions to the base survey if questions do not require the disclosure of any personally identifying information by the students and are trauma informed. The Board of Higher Education, in consultation with the Office of the Attorney General, as necessary, shall review any complaints submitted by students who believe that questions included in the campus sexual misconduct climate survey are traumatizing. Within 120 days after completion of a sexual misconduct climate survey, but no later than one year after the Board of Higher Education issued the last base survey, each institution shall compile a summary of the results of the sexual misconduct climate survey, including, but not limited to, the complete aggregated results for each base survey question, and shall submit the summary to the Board of Higher Education, as well as publish the summary on the institution's website in an easily accessible manner.
(c) The Task Force on Campus Sexual Misconduct Climate Surveys is created. The Task Force shall consist of the following members:
(1) the Executive Director of the Board of Higher
Education or a designee, who shall serve as chairperson;
(2) the Governor or a designee;
(3) one member of the Senate, appointed by the
President of the Senate;

data analytics, or econometrics with experience in higher education survey analysis.
The Task Force shall hold its first meeting as soon as practicable after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. Administrative and other support for the Task Force shall be provided by the Board of Higher Education. Members of the Task Force shall serve 2-year terms that commence on the date of appointment. Members shall continue to serve until their successors are appointed. Any vacancy shall be filled by the appointing authority. Any vacancy occurring other than by expiration of the term shall be filled for the balance of the unexpired term. A majority of the Task Force shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business.
Members of the Task Force shall serve without compensation but shall be reimbursed for expenses necessarily incurred in the performance of their duties if funds are available. However, the higher education institution in which a student member is enrolled may compensate that student for participating on the Task Force through a work-study program or by providing a stipend to support the work of the student member on the Task Force.
(d) The Task Force shall develop and recommend to the Board of Higher Education the base survey for distribution to higher education institutions and provide the Board of Higher Education with any related recommendations regarding the content, timing, and application of the base survey. The Task Force shall deliver the base survey and related recommendations, including, but not limited to, recommendations on achieving statistically valid response rates, to the Board of Higher Education no less often than every 2 years and for the first time on or before July 31, 2022. Thereafter, the Task Force shall meet in the year 2024 and in the year 2026 to review the results of the survey and to implement updates and improvements. The Task Force is dissolved after the completion of the 2026 base survey. After the dissolution of the Task Force, the Executive Director of the Board of Higher Education or a designee shall review the base survey every 2 years to consider any feedback that has been received and to implement improvements.
(e) In developing the base survey, the Task Force shall:
(1) utilize best practices from peer-reviewed
research and consult with individuals with expertise in the development and use of sexual misconduct climate surveys by higher education institutions;
(2) review sexual misconduct climate surveys that
have been developed and previously utilized by higher education institutions in Illinois and by other states that mandate campus climate surveys;
(3) provide opportunities for written comment from
survivors and organizations that work directly with survivors of sexual misconduct to ensure the adequacy and appropriateness of the proposed content;
(4) consult with institutions on strategies for
optimizing the effectiveness of the survey;
(5) account for the diverse needs and differences of
higher education institutions; and
(6) review the base survey to ensure that the
strategy for gathering information is trauma informed.
(f) The base survey shall gather information on topics, including, but not limited to:
(1) the number and type of incidents, both reported
to the higher education institution and unreported to the higher education institution, of sexual misconduct at the higher education institution;
(2) when and where incidents of sexual misconduct
occurred, such as on campus, off campus, abroad, or online;
(3) student awareness of institutional policies and
procedures related to campus sexual misconduct;
(4) whether a student reported the sexual misconduct
to the higher education institution and, if so, to which campus resource such report was made and, if not, the reason for the student's decision not to report;
to law enforcement and, if so, to which law enforcement agency such report was made;
(6) whether a student was informed of or referred to
local, State, campus, or other resources or victim support services, including appropriate medical care, advocacy, counseling, and legal services;
(7) whether a student was provided information
regarding his or her right to protection from retaliation, access to school-based accommodations, and criminal justice remedies;
(8) contextual factors, such as the involvement of
force, incapacitation, coercion, or drug or alcohol facilitation;
(9) demographic information that could be used to
identify at-risk groups, including, but not limited to, gender, race, immigration status, national origin, ethnicity, disability status, sexual orientation, and gender identity;
(10) perceptions of campus safety among members of
the campus community and confidence in the institution's ability to protect against and respond to incidents of sexual misconduct;
(11) whether the student has chosen to withdraw or
has taken a leave of absence from the institution or transferred to another institution;
(12) whether the student has withdrawn from any
classes or has been placed on academic probation as a result of the incident; and
(13) other questions as determined by the Task Force.
All questions on the base survey shall be optional or shall offer the student the option to select "I prefer not to answer" as a response on the survey.
(g) The sexual misconduct climate survey shall collect anonymous responses and shall not provide for the public disclosure of any personally identifying information. No institution may use or attempt to use information collected through the sexual misconduct climate survey to identify or contact any individual student on campus, nor shall the results of the survey be used as the basis for any type of investigation or disciplinary or legal proceeding.
(h) There shall be established within the Office of the Board of Higher Education a data repository for all summaries of sexual misconduct climate surveys submitted by higher education institutions to the Board of Higher Education in accordance with subsection (b). The Board of Higher Education shall ensure that the sexual misconduct climate survey data submitted by all institutions is available to the public in an easily accessible manner on the Board of Higher Education's website.
(i) Each higher education institution shall publish on the institution's website in an easily accessible manner:
(1) the campus level results of the survey;
(2) the annual security report required under the
federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act;
(3) the reports required under Section 9.21 of the
Board of Higher Education Act; and
(4) a link to the Board of Higher Education's
statewide data on sexual misconduct climate survey data as set forth in subsection (h).
(j) The Board of Higher Education shall establish rules and procedures, including deadlines for dissemination and collection of survey information, consistent with the purposes of this Section and shall promote effective solicitation to achieve the highest practical response rate, collection, and publication of statistical information gathered from higher education institutions.
(k) Upon determination, after reasonable notice and opportunity for a hearing, that a higher education institution has violated or failed to carry out any provision of this Section or any rule adopted under this Section, the Board of Higher Education may impose a civil penalty upon such institution not to exceed $50,000, which shall be adjusted for inflation annually, for each violation. The Board of Higher Education shall use any such civil penalty funds to provide oversight of this Section and to provide funding to community organizations that provide services to sexual assault victims. The Attorney General may bring an action in the circuit court to enforce the collection of any monetary penalty imposed under this subsection (k).

This pattern issue, like many of this era, was produced in a bronze composition described simply as "copper." Specifically, bronze is a copper alloy with the addition of tin; however, the specific proportions would vary from one melt to the next. The only true distinction would be made through expensive elemental analysis. The specific pattern issue displayed here is essentially the normal large cent design of this year without obverse stars, and with a slightly reduced-size wreath on the reverse. These patterns were produced in Proof format and are actually more common than Proof large cents of this coinage year.
From Stack's ANA Sale of August 1971, Lot 266.

Q: How is an internal API secured using Tyk API Management (or any other API Gateway)? I have an internally hosted REST API (written in .Net Core, WebAPI).
I have successfully managed to set this up with Tyk API management in Auth Token mode.
This allows external callers to access the API outside of the local network.
But... obviously on the internal network, the API is completely open. I would prefer some way to secure this, but other than blocking access to calls to anything other than the Tyk API Management server, I have drawn a blank.
What would be the best way to achieve this?

A: You can achieve it in three ways using Tyk API gateway, and all of them will require putting some small proxy logic on top of your app (like nginx) or to your application logic directly.
First of all, you can require some internal secret to be provided in URL or Header, and configure Tyk to send it with each request.
The second option is to configure Mutual TLS setup, where your API will require some specific white-listed client certificate, and you will configure Tyk to sing all requests with given certificate as well.
The third option is not really related to Tyk, you can just put firewall behind your API and whitelist Tyk IPs.
Hope it helps!
