Faringo Hot Drink, a Terapia – a SUN PHARMA company brand, is the youngest member of the Faringo range, with a strong growth in its just 3 years on the crowded cold medication market. In order to consolidate the brand, the newly integrated communication campaign developed by Tempo establishes a new positioning. The starting point is a very real insight, very different from the category's communication conventions: if the product manages to ease the symptoms, consumers enjoy their cold days as free time. "What are you doing this cold?" is the tagline of the campaign delivered through various communication channels: TV, print and online.
This new communication campaign consolidated the brand's position in top 3 products for cold and flu, effervescent administration.

Q: Rails :order by date in Postgres returning incorrect order I have a model called Story that I'm trying to order by the created_at date. Since I've hosted my app on Heroku, which uses Postgresql, I have the following in my controller:
@stories = Story.find( :all, :order => "DATE(created_at) DESC" , :limit => 11)

I would expect this to give the first 11 of my stories, ordered by the creation date, with the newest story first.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work. Most of the stories return ordered correctly, but the first two are flipped. That is, the latest story appears second in the list.
Why would this be? I have a sneaky suspicion that my results aren't ordered at all or are being ordered on the wrong column (maybe id?) and that until now it just happened to be ordered like I expected when displayed on my index page. How can I get it to order as I expect it to?
In case anyone cares, the index view is simply displaying the stories, in order. That is (HAML):
- @stories.each do |story|
  = render :partial => "event", :locals => { :event => story }

EDIT
I am suspicious that the created_at is a datetime column and the DATE(...) function disregards the time portion. So it returns the elements created on the same date in a random order. Since the first two stories were created on the same day, but several hours apart, which would explain why they seem to be 'reversed'. If this is the case, what would be the correct syntax to order by both date and time?

A: If you are using Rails 3, I would also encourage you to use the cool new query syntax which would be:
@stories = Story.order('created_at DESC').limit(11)

See Active Record Query Interface for more information.

A: I believe you want:
@stories = Story.find(:all, :order => "created_at DESC" , :limit => 11)

Update for Rails 3+:
@stories = Story.order(created_at: :desc).limit(11)

Georgetown Medical Student Awarded Summer Scholarship to Study Use of Mindfulness-Based Therapy for Parents of Young Children
Hyattsville, MD (June 27, 2018)—Through the Pines-Kleinman Mental Health Fund, the MedStar Health Research Institute has awarded a summer research scholarship to a Georgetown University medical student. Amanda Shapiro will be studying the use of mindfulness-based therapy for parents of young children under the mentorship of Matthew Biel, MD at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. Her research will also be supported by Stacey Kaltman, PhD, and Erin Mathis, PhD, from Georgetown University.
"There's a lot of evidence-based medical research coming out showing that mindfulness increases health outcomes including the management of stress, which underscores a lot of psychiatric disorders as well as general well-being," said Shapiro. "I am extremely interested in child psychiatry as that is the field that brought me to medicine in the first place. It's an honor to be able to participate and contribute to the wide range of research happening through the Early Childhood Innovation Network at Georgetown University."
"Our ongoing partnership with Georgetown University helps to make these summer scholarships possible," said Neil Weissman, MD, chief scientific officer for MedStar Health and president of the MedStar Health Research Institute. "This research program helps to grow our future clinicians into ones who are committed to advancing health through research."
The summer scholar program is an eight-week program for first-year Georgetown University medical students, under the mentorship of MedStar Health physician-researchers to help advance the students' interests in medical research in the summer between their first and second year of medical school.
The Pines-Kleinman Mental Health fund was established in 2007 with donations from Wayne Pines, a director and former chairman of the board of the MedStar Health Research Institute; Carol Kleinman, MD, JD, a practicing psychiatrist in Chevy Chase, Md.; and their family and friends. This fund supports research in the field of mental and behavioral health. The annual prize is awarded to a medical student who has demonstrated service excellence, patient-first activities, innovation, inter-hospital collaboration, and/or leadership in the field of mental health research.
Shapiro received her undergraduate degree from the University of Delaware in 2017 in philosophy and cognitive science and a minor in medical humanities. As an undergraduate, she was involved in clinical psychology research on attachment-based therapy for suicide-prevention in children and adolescents as a research assistant. She chose to participate in the summer scholars program as she "wanted the opportunity to stay involved and gain exposure to clinical research in child and adolescent psychiatry since my ultimate goal is to become a part of that field," she said.
The Pines-Kleinman Mental Health scholarship is one of several summer research scholarships awarded to first-year medical students from Georgetown University. The summer program concludes with a capstone presentation in the fall of all the student-led research projects. The full list of summer scholars is available here.

Microneedling has become a popular procedure for plumper, smoother skin. Sets of tiny needles prick the surface to stimulate the growth of new collagen.
Now, a new device promises to do a better job, and eliminate the drawbacks. Stacy Randall tries to keep a youthful look, but standard microneedling didn't deliver all she hoped for. "It didn't really give me what I needed in the bottom third of my face, where I have more fine lines, some saggy skin, some dulless," she said.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Steve Davis from Davis Cosmetic Surgery says some patients also feel it leaves the skin looking too hurt and it's an inefficient way to get anti-aging products under the skin surface.


Chief Hammond: We don't have the money to purchase body cameras in our budget and BodyCameraDonations.com looks like a way for us to be able to get body cameras. Also the events in Ferguson had a lot to do with us wanting to get body cameras.
Chief Hammond: We believe that using body cameras will neutralize a lot of the lies people drum up against our officers. A lot of times people say they were mistreated or talked to rudely. If you have a body camera, it helps to clarify who did what, one way or the other. It helps you get to the truth faster.
Chief Hammond: Just recently a lady came in and filed a complaint about an officer that pulled her over for a traffic stop. Our officer said he pulled her over for running a stop sign. She said he was following her and treated her rudely. A body camera would have made a big difference in showing exactly what happened in this situation.
Chief Hammond: We have not put one in place because we haven't been able to afford them yet. Once we can afford them we will put a policy in place.

Apple / mac / Mac system / MacOS 10.15 / Report
What we expect from Mac system MacOS 10.15 new
We're less than a week after the WWDC conference 2019, you'll be Apple for new versions of operating systems, including iOS, 13, watchOS 6 and system MacOS 10.15, which is expected to carry a large number of features and enhancements, here are the most notable:
One of the nurses anticipated is the advantage of Marzipan. This is a technology from Apple that allows the transfer of apps to the iPad to the Mac, making the process of creating Mac apps easier for developers, where the company offered a preview of this technology in the past year, to move apps from news and product to work on Mac devices.
While Apple used the technique of Marzipan to bring the application of its own to the Mac, the developer can also use this technique soon to get their apps for Mac. In theory, this will increase the number of Mac apps available to the users.
Application of the new music
Expected that the new system provides a range of new applications for Mac. Although it is expected that most of them are created using Marzipan, but that the new system will include the application of completely new music after off iTunes.
Will promote the application of new music entirely new design focuses on service Apple TV for music, which has been observed in the last week through leaks. Where has been moved the search feature to the left side, along with the music library of the current user, the fun of browsing, and the app will keep some features of its classic such as the ability to sync between devices and in a general design similar to the application icons.
New apps for the podcast and TV
Apple recently launched new apps entirely for television systems iOS and tvOS, and will come to this app also for the new Mac. Will the new app, users have access to all the features of the TV application on other systems, there are different sections and each tab of the "Watch Now", and "movies" and "television programs" and "library".
With the launch of a new application for music, works Apple TV also on the application of the new podcast independent for Mac, and it is likely that this application is created using Marzipan, which means that it will remain largely similar to the development of Podcasts on the iOS operating system.
Application update books
In addition to the application of the new rule for the Mac, the application books current will receive a major update. Will include the application of the books of the new design of the side bar, in addition to the tabs office and store, audio books, and the sidebar access to the books and PDF files and groups.
Upgrades to apps messages and reminders
Are expected to update the Messages application Mac, and features such as new stickers and effects, this was the nurses first time on iOS since several years, the company introduced the system of Mac. In addition, there will come a new application for the changes to the system Mac, the design is similar to your operating system iOS.

This article analyses the relationship between women, food and power in two novels by the Swedish feminist writer Elin Wägner (1882-1949): The Norrtull Gang (Norrtullsligan 1908), and Penwoman (Pennskaftet 1910). One important point of departure is Diana McGee's Writing the Meal (2001), in which she examines how various representations of food reflect the feminist ideas of women writers of the period and their criticism of the traditional roles of women in society.
The analysis shows that Elin Wägner utilises the representation of food to examine and criticise the condition of women in contemporary Swedish society. The critical aspect dominates in the first novel, where food serves as a symbol for the harsh economic conditions, while the second sometimes parodies the role of the housewife and food in order to destabilise traditional gender norms.
The article examines the intertextual relations between the Swedish author Sonja Åkesson's poem "Kvällspromenad" (Evening Walk), published in 1959, and the Swedish author Ragnar Thoursie's poem "Sundbybergs-prologen" (The Sundbyberg Prologue) (1952). The aim is to demonstrate how "Kvällspromenad" has a deep and polemic relation to "Sundbybergs-prologen". The comparison between the two poems is made by using Manfred Pfister's six criteria for analyzing intertextual relations: reference, communication, autoreflexion, structure, selection and dialogue.
The analysis shows that Åkesson gives a completely different view of modern post-war Sweden in her poem compared to the intertext. Instead of the male worker i Thousie's poem, Åkesson lets a lonely and alienated womwn walk around in the same modern suburbs and in a society where she seems homeless. The many intertxtual relations between "Kvällspromenad" and its intertext, can be seen on a thematic as well as a metaphorical level.

On Monday, Carly Fiorina announced her entrance into the race for President in 2016.
That's right. Carly Fiorina. Carly.
You're correct. That is a woman's name.
Hillary Clinton's monopolization of the female voter is over.
You know very well no Republican would ever patronize you by saying "You have to vote for Carly Fiorina. She's a woman" or "You have to vote for Ben Carson. He's African-American." In the Grand Ole Party, you earn a vote with your accomplishments, not your race, gender, or ethnicity.
But…for all those people out there who have their hearts so desperately set on having a female for president immediately, now they have options!
No longer can Hillary's campaign team say that "She is the obvious choice to be your first female President." Carly Fiorina has entered the field and she could very well be the choice for our first female president.
So what does this mean for the 2016 election and Democrats in general?
Carly is not one to flip-flop around the issues. She stands firm, and is going to make people question why Democratic candidates aren't doing the same.
As far as I'm aware, Carly Fiorina is just as much of a woman as Hillary Clinton. With Carly's entrance into the race, Hillary Clinton is no longer special. As it should be, it is no longer abnormal for a woman to run for president.
Only time can tell how this race will turn out, but with Carly Fiorina in the race, it is about to get interesting for the Democrats! Welcome to the race, Carly!
To see where Carly (and other confirmed candidates) stand on the issues, check out our Road To 2016 page.

In Humble Service
2017-02-15T13:21:35-06:00By Michael Culloton|
Michael Culloton
Whether you are in your first year of teaching or in your last, you know by now that music educators live out lives of service on a daily basis. We are often the first people called upon in a number of situations. Need a national anthem singer? Call the choir conductor! Need a caroling group for an important holiday dinner? Call the choir director! Need audition materials for All-State Choir? That's all you! If you also lead a church ensemble and/or a community-based ensemble, then you will get request after request from a number of different angles. How do you manage all of the extra service on top of an already full schedule? Do you have a plan? If so, please write an article for the next edition of Star of the North – we (I!) need your advice!
But wait…! Maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't work too hard to seek the answer to the question of managing our lives and service to others. Martin Luther King, Jr. said the following:
Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others? Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little.
My takeaway from this thought is that I am LIVING! For example, there are days that I have nothing extra on my regular schedule of teaching, and though I am prepared for rehearsals I will certainly have a full day of students emailing me, committees needing attention, programs to type up, more emails to deal with, and on and on. And then more emails. It's the circle of life, and it moves us all… (sing along!)
Woodrow Wilson MUST have been speaking to a room full of music educators when he said,
You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.
We know that many of our students will leave our classrooms changed by the experiences that we generate for them as choir conductors. You have likely heard from somebody about the life-changing and formative experiences that they've had singing in or listening to your choir. If you've been teaching for a while and nobody has said such a thing to you, spend some time reflecting on how you go about bringing art to your students. There may be a new approach or two that you want to explore. (Come to Summer Dialogue – we talk about these exact types of things all the time, and we're better teachers than when we arrived because of it!) But, I digress.
As choral conductors, we spend a lot of time and energy being selfless so that others can be impacted by the voices of humans making music without a net, so to say. Singing is a vulnerable art form and we are dealing with an increasingly fragile population in our choirs. Not a good combination, truth be told. So, we fight a lot of fights (with all thy might) with the hope that some sunlight breaks through and shines light on our world that needs more and more of it. That sounds like an important service to me!
Let's flip the coin, though, for a closing thought and encouragement. We are all only one person and if we don't take the time to refresh and renew, then we will fail to be our best selves. The domino effect of that will be felt in all the corners of our lives, including our homes and classrooms. Take care of yourself, plan a trip, read a book, enjoy summer, enjoy winter, sing in a choir, or take a nap. Whatever will fill your cup will make you a richer servant, and our singers need that perhaps now more than ever.

Watch the video of a raging fire that brought down a "carabot" building yesterday September 16 at Sosoliso,Buea.
This happened just few metres away from the Infinity building, burning down over 15 rooms of the student hostel.
Inhabitants say they tried to put out the fire but the dry plank was just another good wood that was consumed coupled with the gas leakage that increased the flames.
However, no life was lost though much property was ruined.

Danone Nutricia Early Life Nutrition's 10-year commitment to supporting the educational work of the Infant & Toddler Forum (ITF) is a cornerstone of the company's commitment to improving health education. Since 2004, the ITF's multidisciplinary group of experts have educated healthcare professionals (HCPs), early years' practitioners and parents about infant and toddler feeding and nutrition. Programmes such as Ten Steps for Healthy Toddlers provide credible, independent information supporting better nutrition as a key intervention to improve health for life – in-line with Danone Nutricia Early life Nutrition's guiding principle 'to bring health through food'. The widespread adoption and implementation of the Ten Steps programme in early years' settings is testament to the value of the ITF's resources, and its positive impact in practice.
This was a considered and large programme that showed a very clear understanding of the market. It's clear that the team thought about what mattered and tailored the programme to meet a real need.


Many dismiss the women's naked protest, but women's breasts are a powerful semiotic of resistance, writes Gillian Schutte.
Johannesburg - On Tuesday, the nation witnessed what can only be described as institutional mayhem at Wits University when on live television, the SAPS opened fire on #FeesMustFall protesters and civic society leaders who marched peacefully from the west campus to Solomon Mahlangu House on the main (east) campus.
Students marched in protest over vice-chancellor Adam Habib's decision to reopen the university before any of their demands were met.
Stun grenades, tear gas and rubber bullets rained on protesters in two separate attacks before they reached Solomon Mahlangu House.
The force used by the SAPS was excessive for the circumstances. There was no threat from the protesters who are walking slowly and orderly, singing slow Struggle songs. But when the missiles came, the response was one of anger. Stones were picked up and a police car vandalised.
When the growing throng of protesters reached Solomon Mahlangu House and congregated at the stairs, they were quickly met with yet another arsenal of rubber bullets and stun grenades. Journalists who filmed from the sidelines ducked for cover and students hastily retreated.
Their patience was tested to the maximum. This was the third attack in a few hours although their protest was non-violent.
It was clear from the sheer volume of arsenal used against them that the VC saw this as a D-Day - the day that the campaign would become so injured and violated that it would admit defeat.
But each assault only provoked the students and strengthened their resolve.
Advocate Dali Mpofu, who was present as a concerned citizen and not wearing his political hat, negotiated with the police. An agreement was reached that the police would cease fire if the students stopped throwing stones or water bottles at them. So far we had only witnessed students throwing stones when provoked by full-frontal attacks.
Student leader Mcebo Dlamini stepped forward to address the police. An officer who was nodding his head in agreement and shaking hands with Mpofu moments before suddenly lunged at Dlamini and tried to grab him. A violent scuffle ensued.
Moments later four officers kept Dlamini pinned to the ground.
The other officers who were lined up facing the students started shooting indiscriminately at the fleeing bodies. Chaos ensued. Students ran for cover while police encroached on their side firing.
Stun grenades were thrown and stones flew overhead in the direction of the police. A small group helped Dlamini escape the clutches of the police. He was now with the throngs of protesters who congregated away from the police.
Mpofu calmed the crowd with some sage words but Dlamini was shaking with fury.
He called on the students to defend themselves at all costs.
They made their way back to Solomon Mahlangu House slowly and carefully. Dlamini addressed the crowd congregated on the stairs and in the courtyard. Suddenly there were expostulations.
Some students made their way through the gardens and a stone was flung at the police.
Chaos erupted again and students scattered. Rubber bullets were fired and tear gas saturated the air. In the chaos, three female students - Sarah Mokwebo, Hleng-iwe Patricia Ndlovu and Legato Motaung - moved towards the row of cops with their bare breasts exposed.
They called out "Cease fire, cease fire!", their hands above their heads. The police stopped shooting.
They looked confused or bemused. The women were close up, their breasts in front of the cops' faces. The officers had no idea where to look. They took a few steps backwards.
They asked the police officers why they beat them up when all they were asking for was free education. They challenged the police at close quarters, reminding them that they were fathers and asked why they shoot the black child, the black girl, when they themselves cannot afford to send their own children to university.
They looked brave and vulnerable. Their naked stomachs and breasts juxtaposed with police in riot gear armed with guns had a profound affect on all. The stark contrast was shocking and rendered the violence of men with guns and riot gear hyper-visible.
Naked flesh exposed on the site of violence makes a visceral anti-war statement and this was war. It was a war declared by state and institution against the black child who dared to rise for their rights.
Many dismiss the women's naked protest. They bemoaned the fact that yet again black women were forced to lose their dignity by stripping naked. But nakedness is not a loss of dignity when voluntarily used in protest. It is resistance against those who would strip them of their dignity.
Women's breasts are a powerful semiotic of resistance. Breasts are the most vulnerable part of their bodies. They are also a source of nurturing. Even men with guns have been nourished on their mother's breasts. Breasts are both robust and vulnerable.
These three half-naked women disarmed the police with their naked cries. The police did not fire their guns again.
Habib had given the order to overpower this protest and uses words such as "take back the campus" as his arsenal. But this collective of young black bodies was saying no - at least not until their demands were met. They put themselves in the front line despite the dangers this posed to their bodies.
Others say that the students were masters of artifice, playing up to the cameras. But all of these arguments were simply attempts to render invisible the reality of black pain, pain both individually and collectively felt and expressed.
The cry of black pain has been heard audibly throughout the two years that these students have maintained this struggle. It is real. It is whispered, it is spoken, it is screamed and yet so many simply choose to ignore it or write it off as an unnecessary pathology.
But for the revolutionary youth the violence against the black body through historical institutional racism has truly run its course. This generation of so-called born-frees are no longer accepting the crumbs the white monopoly capital and a black elite.
They are saying no more to usurpation, using this pain as the very thing to fuel their resolve to break free from this discourse. Their movement is smart, intellectual and executed with what Wits academic Fiona Horne has described as a "terrible beauty", to quote Yeats when he wrote of the 1916 uprising in Ireland.
This is a struggle that is meticulously maintained through frequent caucusing, organisation, rigorous intellectual discussion, theory that births a hybrid of the old and the new, collective bargaining and collective body in undeniable performative revolutionary practice.
The #FeesMustFall campaign is an unstoppable escalation of a collective black uprising against the control, power, violence and abuse of bodies, minds and souls. It is civil disobedience. It is revolution. It is Fallism.

Reaction: Cleveland Indians Take Second Straight Series with 5-2 Win over White Sox
By Katrina Hamrick
The Indians closed out the series with Chicago on a positive note, winning their second series in a row as they defeated the White Sox in a 5-2 victory. Danny Salazar weaved his way in and out of trouble, putting up six scoreless innings despite five hits and three walks, thanks largely in part to eight strikeouts. John Danks had less success, going 5.1 innings, but allowing five runs on six hits and four walks, with just three strikeouts.
First Inning
Jason Kipnis led off the first inning with a double, and Carlos Santana walked to put runners on for Michael Brantley. He hit an RBI single to center field after a wild pitch had advanced the runners, and that proved to be important when Ryan Raburn grounded into a double play that still managed to score a run. Nick Swisher and Mike Aviles followed with back-to-back solo home runs, putting the Tribe up by four before the White Sox even had a chance to bat.
Second Inning
Danks walked Roberto Perez to start the second inning, and Michael Bourn followed with a single. With one out, Santana grounded out, but Perez managed to score thanks to a poor throw by first baseman Jose Altuve.
Ninth Inning
The Tribe kept the White Sox from scoring until the very end, when reliever Bryan Shaw allowed Gordon Beckham to double, then gave up a home run to Tyler Flowers. It was too little and too late for Chicago, who dropped three of the four games this set after sweeping the Oakland A's in their last series.
Every batter had at least one hit or walk except Ryan Raburn, who is still batting .297 – perhaps he's still feeling the effects of that catch he made in Texas, when he slammed into the wall and bruised his knee. At any rate, the rest of the offense looked much better than they had lately. Salazar pitched into jams, but he worked out of them with ease – if he loaded the bases, he made up for it with strikeouts. Ryan Webb continued to be stellar, with 1.2 perfect innings, and Marc Rzepczynski struck out the only batter he faced. It was a pretty good night for the Tribe all around.
Shaw is still struggling, although his ERA is only 3.29. Instead of coming in to complete the shutout, he gave up a two-run home run, albeit to a very powerful hitter. The Tribe needs to get to the bottom of Shaw's problems before it costs them an important game.
More from Away Back Gone
– On Friday, the Indians will be back in Cleveland to face Mike Leake and the Cincinnati Reds. Leake is 2-2 with a 3.62 ERA this season, and he will be the first right-hander the Tribe has faced since leaving Texas. That means Raburn and Aviles might see less time, since Lonnie Chisenhall will be back in the lineup now that the Indians aren't playing against a left-handed starter.
– The Tribe will send Carlos Carrasco to the mound, who is looking to recover after a rough outing against the Rangers. Despite tossing eight innings, Carrasco surrendered five runs in a tough loss that had more to do with bad defense than poor pitching. The right-hander is 4-4 with a 4.98 ERA, but he's struck out 51 batters in just over 43 innings, so it's safe to say he's better than his record shows.

Organs Thyroid (Cross Section)
Connective Tissue helps hold our body together, supports other tissues and even transports substances. Connective tissue is found in between other tissues everywhere in the body, including the nervous system. In the central nervous system, the three outer membranes (the meninges) that envelop the brain and spinal cord are composed of connective tissue. They support and protect the body. Connective tissue has a wide variety of functions that depend on the types of cells and the different classes of fibers involved. Loose and dense irregular connective tissue, formed mainly by fibroblasts and collagen fibers, have an important role in providing a medium for oxygen and nutrients to diffuse from capillaries to cells, and carbon dioxide and waste substances to diffuse from cells back into circulation. They also allow organs to resist stretching and tearing forces. Source
Follicular Cells
These (also called thyroid epithelial cells or thyrocytes) are cells in the thyroid gland that are responsible for the production and secretion of thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The thyroid epithelial cells take up iodine and amino acids from the blood circulation on the basolateral side, synthesize thyroglobulin and thyroperoxidase from amino acids and secrete these into the thyroid follicles together with iodine. The thyroid epithelial cells can subsequently take up iodinated thyroglobulin from the follicles by endocytosis, extract thyroid hormones from it with the help of proteases and subsequently release thyroid hormones to the blood. These thyroid hormones are transported throughout the body where they control metabolism (which is the conversion of oxygen and carbohydrates to energy). Every cell in the body depends upon thyroid hormones for regulation of their metabolism. The normal thyroid gland produces about 80% T4 and about 20% T3, however, T3 is about four times as potent as T4.
Thyroid Follicle
The small, spheric, vesicular components of the thyroid gland lined with epithelium and containing colloid in varying amounts; the colloid serves for storage of the thyroid hormone precursor, thyroglobulin. Follicles are filled with colloid, a proteinaceous depot of thyroid hormone precursor. Source
Parafollicular Cells
Parafollicular cells (also called C cells) are neuroendocrine cells in the thyroid which primary function is to secrete calcitonin. They are located adjacent to the thyroid follicles and reside in the connective tissue. These cells are large and have a pale stain compared with the follicular cells or colloid. In teleost and avian species these cells occupy a structure outside the thyroid gland named the ultimobranchial body. Parafollicular cells secrete calcitonin, a hormone that participates in the regulation of calcium metabolism. It is important in fish and rodents, but its relevance in humans has not been demonstrated. Calcitonin lowers blood levels of calcium by inhibiting the resorption of bone by osteoclasts, and its secretion is increased proportionally with the concentration of calcium. Parafollicular cells are also known to secrete in smaller quantities several neuroendocrine peptides such as serotonin, somatostatin or CGRP. They may also have a role in regulating thyroid hormones production locally, as they express thyrotropin-releasing hormone.
Interlobular Connective Tissue
The lymphatic drainage of the thyroid gland runs in the interlobular connective tissue and then communicates with a network of lymphatic vessels. The lymphatic vessels communicate with the tracheal plexus, and pass to prelaryngeal nodes above the thyroid isthmus, and to pretracheal and paratracheal nodes. Some may drain into brachiocephalic nodes. Laterally the gland drains into deep cervical nodes. Some lymph may drain directly, without nodes, to the thoracic duct. Source
Thyroglobulin is stored within the gland in follicles as the main component of a substance called the thyroid colloid. Thyroid follicles are small spherical groupings of cells that play the main role in thyroid function. They consist of a rim that has a rich blood supply, nerve and lymphatic presence, that surrounds a core of colloid that consists mostly of thyroid hormone precursor proteins called thyroglobulin, an iodinated glycoprotein. Source
The blood vessels are part of the circulatory system and function to transport blood throughout the body. Blood is carried through the body via blood vessels. An artery is a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart, where it branches into ever-smaller vessels. Eventually, the smallest arteries, vessels called arterioles, further branch into tiny capillaries, where nutrients and wastes are exchanged, and then combine with other vessels that exit capillaries to form venules, small blood vessels that carry blood to a vein, a larger blood vessel that returns blood to the heart.

A Project Blossoms
Sep 13 2022 12:58 PM
On the Strawbridge Campus, beside Somers Field and steps from the Wissahickon Valley Park, is a small but growing series of garden beds. The newest addition here is a pollinator garden. Designed, created and recently planted by third grade, its roots spread far beyond the 30-by-10- foot plot it currently occupies.
The pollinator garden project weaves together concepts of stewardship of the land, ecology, and Lenape history and culture. In assuming the role of caretakers of the earth, students use newfound knowledge of plant biology and the ways in which the Lenape used plants native to the region.
Lenape studies has been part of the third grade curriculum for many years. Jill Einbender and Teodora Nedialkova have expanded and deepened the unit in recent years so that it is now a yearlong focus, weaving through social studies, language arts and Quakerism, and integrated into each spring project that typically focuses on pressing environmental problems. Joel Eckel, an apiarist, joined the third grade teaching team in 2020-21 and brings to this project a deep knowledge of both bees and gardening.
The Lenape unit in third grade includes learning about Lenape history and culture before and after European arrival. "Third grade students learn about the original people of this land, the Lenni-Lenape, and their long history of living here in harmony with nature," Nedialkova said. "We talk about William Penn's thoughts on a relationship with the Lenape and how his ideals didn't prevail. We review relocation and the cultural eradication, but also how some Lenape survived despite what happened. And we emphasize the Lenape relationship with the land and expose students to elements of Lenape culture."
Stewards of the Land
"The Lenape take into consideration not just their own needs but the ecosystem's needs, and the future, too," Eckel said. "As our students seek to interact with nature like the Lenape do, they experience that through the pollinator garden. It benefits our campus and the bees here, and supports other pollinators."
One of the goals of third grade's Lenape studies is to understand the land we inhabit and its history. In studying the Lenape, Nedialkova said, "we honor history and continue the legacy of care in allyship with the historic occupiers, the Lenape." Third grade's garden project, reviving part of campus with plant species native to the area to support the local ecosystem for important pollinators—bees, wasps, moths, butterflies, birds, flies and small mammals like bats—is directly related to that care.
"I really want students to understand that they can have an impact on their world," Einbender said. "The pollinator decline is frightening— the more I learn with our students the more concerned I get—and it needs to be addressed now. The students are the next generation, and I want to give them the tools to make a difference."
Ayla M., Jasper G. and Beckett H. show off their bat, hummingbird and honeybee puppets—and narrator badge—in front of the third grade's drawings of seasonal observations at the garden aided by the book Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt by Kate Messner.
One of those tools is a working knowledge of the role of pollinators as well as the ecosystems they support.
On Family Visiting Day, a virtual glimpse into the classroom this year, students showed off their research on pollinators while performing a play based on facts they had researched. Using his paper bag puppet, Beckett Humble, Honeybee #1, eagerly recited his lines: "You know what I call that yellow powdery stuff? Food! Us honeybees love to eat pollen. I would love to taste those yellow flowers over there, but I'm not strong enough and my tongue is too short."
Prior to researching, said Jasper Gindlesparger, the play's narrator, "I didn't know that honeybees have pollen baskets on their legs, and I didn't know that they can't see the color red."
"The combined Lenape and pollinator unit provides opportunities for students to build personal connections to the work—while the teachers support students in working together to achieve a common goal. This is at the heart of project-based learning," Director of Lower School Marcy Sosa said.
Ready to Make a Difference
Elsie Wilson, Livia Rodriguez-Cole and Araceli Sosa are playing in the shade before their turn comes to help in the garden. "The garden is important," Araceli explains, "because pollinators are dying out. Pesticides are hurting them!"
Livia, with power in her voice, cuts to the quick: "If we didn't have pollinators, we couldn't have trees, and then we wouldn't have us."
Nearby, Ayla Mittica is bringing soil across the field to the garden. "I know this is helping the pollinators, and I am happy doing it," she says. "I look forward to visiting the garden next year to see all the pollinators."
Paige Menton, a master permaculture designer, is the owner of Journeywork, which reinvigorates lawns and gardens of schools and Quaker meetinghouses for native biodiversity. Steve Jones is a native plant expert for Wissahickon Restoration Volunteers and runs the plant nursery at the LandHealth Institute, which supplied the plants for the third grade pollinator garden.
Third graders feel the sense of urgency, and in combining their research on ecology and Lenape history and culture with the action step of designing the pollinator garden, the students are the changemakers. Their knowledge and desire to make an impact are a powerful combination.
Naturalist and Designers
On a video call with plant and garden design experts Steve Jones and Paige Menton, students ask insightful questions about the native plants the pair introduce as options for the garden.
Students ask for more details about which pollinators prefer specific plants (for pollen or nectar, or to host egg and larval stages), and ask questions about sun versus shade and expected plant heights as they prepare for the garden design process.
"Deep observation is part of our work," Nedialkova said. "The way to really know a plant is to observe it," to look closely at the leaf patterns and veins, at the flowers, at what is around it. In their naturalist notebooks, students like Lamont B., shown, draw the plants and take notes. The focus feels a bit like meditation, a feature of Nedialkova's classroom throughout the year. "We're doing meditation by sketching. The combination of deep observation and meditation is building the students' reverence for people and species," she said— elements key to being good stewards of the land.
In keeping with the methods of student inquiry and exploration that the third grade teachers espouse, Menton and Jones frequently encourage students to observe plants in the garden closely to answer their own questions. And close observation is a key element of this project.
Students find spots around the gardens and settle in with their field notebooks. They look carefully—at types of grass, for insects, and at what grows near the garden.
And the students—quick with correct answers to an impromptu quiz on garden design day—really know their plants. "What plants have yellow flowers?" Einbender quizzes them.
"Golden ragwort!" one student answers.
"Anise-scented goldenrod," proudly relays another.
"And which is the tallest of the plants?"
"Shadbush!"
When meeting with Menton and Jones to learn about native plants that will benefit the garden, student questions often focus on how the Lenape used the plant. "We don't always have a lot of information about how specific groups of people used specific plants," Steve cautions. "You can ask the Lenape living here or one of the recognized tribes," he suggests, something students may have the opportunity to do.
But for some plants, there is a clear record of use by the Native Americans. Joe Pye weed, named for a Monhegan healer in New England, was used as medicine to treat typhus and fevers.
Dean R. pores over his garden design, carefully placing plants using a design key he created. Dean's design has the high plants in the back so they don't shade out the shorter ones, arranged in a slope and then arranged for color.
And the large pollinator-magnet shadbush—it attracts over 100 pollinators—is a plant that offers a direct connection to the Lenape. The blossoms emerge when the shad would return to the rivers to spawn—shad, like salmon, live in the ocean but travel upstream to where they were hatched—and the Lenape named the plant accordingly.
Later, colonists named the plant juneberry and serviceberry, the first for when the edible berries arrived, and the second for its early spring blossoms, in accordance with when the ground would be thawed enough to hold burial services.
Back at the garden, students answer questions about the project. The Lenape "would take things from the earth and then give something back to it," explains third grader Rafi Halpern. "We are taking some of the grass out [to build the garden] but we are giving great soil back."
Indeed, Joel Eckel and groups of students remove grass clump by clump to prepare the garden bed as classmates haul buckets of dark, rich soil that others spread out along the newly created beds. As he revels in putting his hands in the cool soil, Pierce Barsanti says, "Seeing the work that we have done is so satisfying. Each time we're here, the progress is so nice to see."
Planting Day
Pierce B. and Rafi H. revel in the cool soil they spread to prepare the garden for planting.
The big day—planting day—finally arrives. It is Arbor Day, the last Friday in April. Menton and Jones highlight the common design themes from the students' efforts, such as keeping like plants together, putting short plants in front of tall plants so they get enough sun, and using the shadbush to provide shade to plants that need it.
Buckets of plants are moved around the garden in one last design session, and then—the moment they've all been waiting for—students dig in and put the native plants into the ground.
Just before the shadbush goes in—the last and perhaps most important plant in the space—third grade gathers for a moment of silence. Later the class would read When the Shadbush Blooms by Carla Messinger, Turtle Clan Lenape.
"Now that you know about these plants," Menton says, "what does it look like in your yard?" What plants could attract pollinators to it?
"What more could you do with your seeds of knowledge?"
Project-based learning led the Class of 2031 through learning about plants, pollinators, the Lenape, gardening and project design.

The Westerner Story began in 1967
The Westerner first opened as a steak house. After the first six months the building The Westerner is now in was built. It was built in three phases over 1970, 71, and 72 to be the size it is today.
In 1970 there originally was a diner in the very front of the building near Route 32. in 1971 the diner was phased out and from that point on the Westerner was a full retail store. Originally the assortment of merchandise was influenced by the popular western culture of the day. Shows like Bonanza and Gunsmoke were all the rage and customers wanted to own a piece of that culture. The Westerner continued with the same merchandise but as the demand for it declined over the years the third generation of family ownership decided it was time to begin to change the merchandise to something that more closely resembles the products you can find in the store today.
in 2010 the store started to undergo a rehab which included the closed in front porch as it exists today. The merchandise assortment continued to evolve to contain the personally selected merchandise that you can find today.

Picking something which seems great might be nice, but your family is going to despise it, if it is uncomfortable or too small. Settling upon a set which fits together with your home design is a plus when it comes to the look of the space. A rustic pine set would look good within an old world style dwelling. For those who have a modern dwelling you could go with something a little trendier. The shape of your table is, in addition, a concern. Roundtables may look good, but it may not be practical if you possess a tiny room.

Silks are natural polymers with outstanding properties. Some spider silks are tougher than the toughest synthetic polymers and even outperform steel in terms of strength by weight. Also, because it is a biocompatible protein, silk is ideally suited for use in biomedical applications and environmentally friendly.
The outstanding properties of silk are due to its interesting structure, featuring a peculiar organization down to molecular scales. We apply our imaging techniques to spider and silkworm silk protein to provide unprecedented insights into assembly at single-molecule resolutions. This knowledge will help develop new processes to make silks artificially: novel materials that are environmentally benign and feature excellent mechanical properties.
Our lab also studies the brown recluse spider, which spins a thin ribbon of silk instead of a cylindrical strand typical of other species. By applying our imaging and various characterization techniques to this ribbon morphology, we are able to reveal its novel structural, adhesive, and mechanical properties in an unprecedented fashion. The thin ribbon shape of brown recluse silk grants us an easier system to study the origin of the appealing properties offered by natural silk materials. The information obtained from brown recluse silk will help us manufacture artificial thin silk films with the impressive properties of a native brown recluse strand.
