Tackling childhood cancer as a family
At the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund, we consider every family who is part of the pediatric cancer community part of our Jay Fund Family. One of the greatest privileges of the work we do is watching children who tackle cancer grow into young adults. Having long-term relationships allows us to understand the ongoing effects of childhood cancer and to BE THERE throughout the journey.

As a teenager, Samantha faced near insurmountable challenges, including the death of her mother and the incarceration of her father. Homeless and struggling to build a life on her own at such a young age, Samantha turned to a local shelter for housing and food. Soon thereafter, Samantha became pregnant and gave birth to her son, Legend.
Samantha found employment as a security guard, but the pandemic crushed all her childcare options, and she was forced to leave her job to care for her son. Shortly after his first birthday, Legend took a typical toddler fall but it resulted in significant bruising around his eyes.
This triggered an alarm that something might be wrong. A trip to urgent care led to a transfer by ambulance to New York University Langone Medical Center and a battery of tests and scans. Within hours, Legend's doctors delivered the devastating news that he had metastatic neuroblastoma – a brain tumor that had spread to multiple sites throughout his body. He had tumors in his head, face and abdomen.
Legend immediately began six weeks of aggressive chemotherapy in the hospital and Samantha never left his bedside. Covid restrictions throughout the past two years meant Samantha was entirely alone – no one to accompany her to appointments or relieve her during long hospital stays. Weeks of chemotherapy turned to months and were followed by five weeks of radiation. The tumors in Legend's body shrank but did not fully go away. The cancer affected Legend's hearing, eyesight and speech and he required intensive therapy to aid in his development. In addition to chemotherapy and radiation, Legend's treatment also involved surgery to remove a tumor in his stomach and a stem cell removal operation.
In the fall of 2021, Legend's treatment options at NYU were exhausted and he was transferred to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to begin a new protocol and more rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, along with antibody therapy. Legend now wears glasses and hearing aids due to damage from the tumors, but he is a fighter and his strong will and mischievous nature still shines through.
As the sole caregiver for Legend, Samantha is unable to work. With the help of the Jay Fund, Samantha and Legend were able to move out of the shelter and into their own apartment. The Jay Fund has provided financial assistance for rent, food, transportation and utilities.
Samantha is fiercely independent and protective of Legend and loves spending time with her young son. "My life is all about him beating cancer and being strong for my son. I hope one day Legend can play with other children and have fun in a park and be around family and friends. Having a sick child changes everything," said Samantha.
The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund has been able to help Legend and other Jay Fund families located in New York City thanks in part to a grant from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation.

Mila and her family's arduous journey began last November when she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at 8 years old. Weeks of chemotherapy, inpatient hospital stays, along with managing the family schedule and finances, have been all-consuming. Mila has been a champion throughout her treatment, but the whole family had to adjust to an insane schedule that left little time for family activities, friends and self-care.
"Our biggest challenge since Mila's cancer diagnosis has been time," said Mila's father, George. "At the end of the day, it's hard to find the time or energy for anything except planning for what's next on the path of Mila's cancer treatment. We have been introduced to a level of chaos we never knew existed and it has had an immense impact on every aspect of our lives."
George and his wife, Jenna, have struggled to balance their jobs with managing Mila's intensive health care needs. In addition, Mila's younger brother, Niko, is just seven years old and is too young to understand the gravity of Mila's diagnosis. Like many siblings of cancer patients, Niko misses spending time with his parents and sister and struggles to grasp why life has turned upside down.
Following a complicated surgery to remove the tumor in her left arm, Mila still faces months of grueling chemotherapy and the family's difficult pediatric cancer journey continues. "Time is precious and has a remarkable way of showing us what really matters," said George. "We hope that Mila will be cancer-free this summer and that it will be a new beginning for the whole family."

The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund's 2022 Valentine's Day card was designed by 11-year-old artist Emma. We are so happy to report that Emma just finished treatment in January, overcoming cancer for the SECOND time in her life.
When she was just four months old, Emma was diagnosed with an extremely rare brain cancer. Emma's second diagnosis of bone cancer came last May. Once again, she endured months of intensive therapy.
While Emma has been unable to attend school in person due to her compromised immune system, she enjoys using the art techniques her teachers have taught her at home. "I really love to draw and paint and it's a great way for me to express my feelings," said Emma. "If I'm mad and angry, I use red and orange. If I'm happy, I use yellow and green and other bright colors. But if I'm feeling sad and overwhelmed, I like to use a bunch of different colors."
Emma looks forward to getting back to skateboarding and swimming and can't wait to return to the classroom next fall and start sixth grade.
Having a child diagnosed with cancer is heartbreaking. Having two children receive this devastating news is unfathomable. Last December, five-year-old Jackie and her family were looking forward to celebrating the holidays when doctors informed them that she had juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML), a rare form of leukemia. Their nightmare was amplified in February when Addison, Jackie's twin sister, was also diagnosed with the same form of cancer, treatable only by bone marrow transplant.
Brian and Lauren, the twin's parents, took a leave of absence from their teaching and real estate professions, respectively, to focus on the medical needs of their young girls. Doctors determined that Lauren could be the donor for both of her daughters, giving life twice to the girls.
Amid a pandemic, the immunocompromised twins were at constant risk of infection and complications. While Brian and Lauren remained home from work and the family isolated to protect Jackie and Addison, monthly mortgage payments loomed. "There were thousands of things on our mind: medication schedules, feeding tubes, keeping central lines sterile and all the possible complications that come with bone marrow transplants. But paying our mortgage and returning to our home was not one of them, thanks to the Jay Fund," said Brian.
Despite being extremely cautious, the girls contracted a viral infection that resulted in transplant complications and a return to the hospital. Again, the Jay Fund provided mortgage assistance to lessen the financial burden and allow the family to focus on Jackie and Addison's health.
"The financial support of covering our mortgage for several months while we were in the trenches fighting for Jackie and Addison's lives cannot be understated," said Brian. "The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund is an organization where support reaches the families and patients who need it, in a very real way. Thankfully, this year we look forward to celebrating the upcoming holidays in our own home."
Meleah was diagnosed at the age of 10 with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (blood cancer) in September 2020. She had a very intensive treatment regimen and began monthly maintenance chemotherapy in August 2021. Due to recent complications that have arisen, including a COVID diagnosis and a procedure to remove a cyst on her pancreas, Meleah has had multiply hospital stays that have impacted her chemo treatment.
Meleah is an old soul who seems much wiser than her 11 years. Meleah has handled the ups and downs of her diagnosis and treatment with amazing positivity and an optimistic attitude. She loves school and wants to be a teacher and a singer when she grows up.
Because of supporters like you, the Jay Fund is able to provide financial and emotional support to families like Mikaela's (pictured with her sister Vivienne)
Mikaela is an imaginative, delightful 10-year-old girl, who was barely three years old when she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Germ Cell Tumor, a very rare form of cancer for children. She has had multiple relapses, and has undergone numerous treatments, surgeries, and bone marrow transplants. Mikaela is currently splitting her time between Goryeb Children's Hospital in Morristown and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC for a clinical trial that involves frequent hospital stays. Over the course of seven years, she has championed every stage of this journey with strength and perseverance. The Jay Fund has been by her side by helping with grocery gift cards, mortgage payments, utilities bills, phone payments, transportation/auto assistance, holiday support, as well as inviting Mikaela and her family to events.
"I am beyond grateful for the Jay Fund's emergency fund," says Mikaela's mom, Yesica. "I feel like I can breathe. I feel like I have someone in my corner. Thank you for the classes you offer, the emotional support, and financial support."
Jalayah is a kind, brave and energetic nine-year-old girl who enjoys painting, unicorns, arts and crafts, swimming, and scary movies. She was diagnosed as a baby with congenital dysplastic kidney disease and underwent a kidney transplant in 2013. In April 2017, Jalayah was diagnosed with Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease (PTLD is classified as a lymphoma, a cancer that affect the lymphatic system.) She underwent chemotherapy which was completed in August 2017. Jalayah has had two relapses of PTLD, once in 2018 and again in June 2019. She underwent a stem cell transplant in April of 2020 and completed her chemo last month at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center in Newark, NJ.
Jalayah has older twin siblings, Jamiyah and Jeremiah. They live with their mom Patrice. Their dad died a year before Jalayah's cancer diagnosis. As a single parent and Jalayah's caregiver, Patrice has been unable to work since Jalayah's cancer diagnosis in 2017.
The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund has BEEN THERE for this family through their long journey, providing financial assistance for household expenses, transportation and holiday support, as well as including them in various in-person and virtual events.
Most recently, the Caldwell family's furnace cracked, and the repair company told them it would be 3-4 days make the repair. The first night Patrice turned the oven on for warmth and stayed up all night to be sure the house didn't catch on fire. The stress of providing safe, warm shelter for her family combined with Jalayah's post treatment follow-up scans was tremendous. Mom reached out to ask for assistance and the Jay Fund immediately agreed to pay for a hotel for three nights.
Four days later when the Caldwell's returned home, Patrice reached out with this message "Thanks a million again, we're home!!! We came back to a warm house this morning. I truly appreciate the Jay Fund from the bottom of my heart. I thank you a trillion times, we love you ❤"
In July of 2018, just before turning three, Makayla was diagnosed with Wilms Tumor, a rare kidney cancer. Makayla underwent surgery to remove the tumor and her kidney, then began 18 rounds of chemotherapy. She had follow-up scans in March of 2019, where they found a new spot resulting in a relapse. Now 5-years-old, Makayla is in her second fight of her life and tackling cancer with another 26 rounds of chemotherapy.
Despite the rollercoaster she has been put on, Makayla is always bursting with energy and she has a smile that lights up a room. She loves the color purple, watching Secret Life of Pets, and eating her mom's homemade mac and cheese. Makayla is a gymnast at heart. Although cancer has forced her to stop gymnastics, she already has plans to join the competitive league once chemotherapy is over.
Makayla and her family have been deeply affected by childhood cancer, but one thing is for sure is that they always have a team behind them. "The best thing about the Jay Fund is I know they will always be there if I need help, and I know I can fall back on them," says Makayla's mom. "Their team has a heart of gold, and I cannot thank them enough."
In July 2018, 8-year-old Megan was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Through this unexpected diagnosis, Megan's mom, Maureen, says they have been overwhelmed by the financial and emotional support from the Jay Fund. From supermarket gift cards to special experiences, the Jay Fund is there for Megan's family every step of the way. One event in particular was Jay Fund Family Fun Day where Megan and her family were able to enjoy themselves playing arcade games and bowling! For a short time, they forgot about cancer.
Mighty Miles got his nickname because his family best describes him as equal parts Minion and Energizer Bunny with a Tasmanian devil on the side. Just shy of his fifth birthday, Mighty Miles was diagnosed with Leukemia – news that made him feel anything but mighty. During his initial 8-month regimen of intense chemotherapy, Miles was unable to participate in sports, playdates, parties, or attend pre-school.
But Miles and his whole family were surrounded by a strong team of supporters — friends, doctors, nurses, even professional athletes, and the Jay Fund. He and his family attended Family Fun Day, cheered on the New Jersey Devils hockey team, and received gifts during the holiday season. Jodi, Miles' mom, said, "Thank you for helping bring back Miles' spark while creating lasting memories for our entire family." Now that Miles is back to being a master LEGO builder and is cleared to go back to school, it's safe to say Mighty Miles is back to his cheerful self with a smile that lights up a room!
Jennifer knew something was wrong from the first moment she held her newborn baby, Olivia, in her arms. "I couldn't get her to warm up, even with the many blankets I wrapped her in," recalls Jennifer. At only 12-days-old, Olivia was diagnosed with Craniopharyngioma, a brain tumor. Four days later, Olivia underwent an eight-hour, life-saving surgery where doctors removed her entire pituitary gland.
Today, two-year-old Olivia is vibrant and healthy. She loves to color, sing the alphabet, and make friends with everyone she meets. Olivia's beautiful smile and infectious laughter have graced the Jay Fund's annual holiday party and Valentine's Day celebration. The family has been able to enjoy priceless family moments at Sesame Street and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Additionally, the foundation has been able to help with car and mortgage payments thanks to your generosity. "The Jay Fund saved our family. Their support truly changed the trajectory of our home," said Jennifer.
Olivia will endure follow-up appointments to monitor the side effects of the treatment for many years, but she and her family know they can always count on their Jay Fund team. No one fights childhood cancer alone. Thanks for being part of Olivia's team!
During the summer of 2017, eight-year-old Austin was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. The news was devastating and his youthful dreams of competitive swimming were replaced with life-saving surgery and chemotherapy treatments. Your generous support to the Jay Fund allowed Austin's parents to be there with him during his treatments and provided opportunities for the family to enjoy being a family. Austin's mom, Grace offered her gratitude in an email, saying, "Thank you for putting children like Austin first and helping them feel like kids during these rough times. Your support truly helps make the children and their families' lives a bit brighter. For this, we will be eternally grateful." Today, Austin is back in the water, chasing his Michael Phelps-like dreams with his family and Jay Fund team cheering him on. Thanks for being a part of Austin's team!
Liam was 5-years-old when his parents were told he has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in December 2014. After going through months of chemotherapy, Liam is now 2 years cancer free, and is the happiest he could possibly be. Liam's family is still on the Jay Fund team today. His mother attended a mothers retreat, his family joined us at the annual holiday party, and Dawaun, his father, participated in the 2018 Jay Fund Radiothon. "When Liam was diagnosed, we wanted two things, one, for our son to be healthy and okay; and two, we wanted normalcy for him. That is what the Jay Fund did, they gave us those two things." – Dawaun Smith
Jose is a 9-year-old boy who was diagnosed with leukemia in July of 2017. Jose immediately began treatment. Jose's infectious smile and loving personality warms the hearts of the Jay Fund and the hospital staff. He has a way of making people smile even when he is having a tough time. The Jay Fund has helped Jose and his family with emergency household expenses this past year. Karen, Jose's mom said "There are no words to describe what the Jay Fund means to Jose and our family. In his hardest moments, the Jay Fund was there to cheer him up. They have provided Jose with activities, which brings excitement to his life. The Jay Fund is always so helpful and we are extremely appreciative for their support. The Jay Fund should be proud of what they do because they do a great job."
In November 2009, Elizabeth began to limp, which was thought to be a cause of a disease her twin brother had. After visiting the pediatrician, monitoring it was the best decision. Time began to pass and Elizabeth's limp continued. The pediatrician did numerous tests including labs, x-rays and more over a span of six months before finally coming to the conclusion of what was causing the limp. On May 13, 2010, Elizabeth was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). The news was shocking to everyone because of all the previous tests being negative. Elizabeth was very healthy and she did not have symptoms that are typical of a child with leukemia. She endured 2 ½ years of treatment which included things like daily oral chemotherapy and steroid pulses, IV chemotherapy treatments, and more. Elizabeth is now five years off of treatment and doing excellent. The Jay Fund was there throughout Elizabeth's treatment, and continues to be there for them today. "We were able to gain financial and emotional support during this time from the Jay Fund team. From paying bills to invites to parties for our whole family, the Jay Fund was there and is still there today. They are what kept us together as a family. They provided us hope, support, light, smiles, all things that were desperately needed when a family is facing the unthinkable. We found a support system in an unexpected place and we cannot thank the Jay Fund enough."
Gavin is a 9-year-old boy who was diagnosed on January 25, 2017 with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), a form of cancer that is often found in children. Helping him fight is his father, Paul, mother, Cassandra and twin brother, Blaine. When Gavin was first diagnosed, Paul and Cassandra, like lots of families in similar situations, were shocked, devastated and were questioning what life was going to bring. The other question was what the cost and financial burden would be between doctors' appointments, treatment, travel expenses and more. Both Paul and Cassandra were attending school at the time of Gavin's diagnosis. Expenses for the household, college and now cancer treatment can add up quickly, and that worry came immediately after Gavin's diagnosis. With the Jay Fund's help, both Paul and Cassandra were able to continue their schooling. Paul finished shortly after Gavin's diagnosis, and is now an Occupational Therapist. Cassandra is finishing school and will pursue her career as a high school math teacher. Financial and emotional help from the Jay Fund has made a huge impact on this family's life and it's because they were able to continue some normalcy, and Paul and Cassandra were able to focus solely on their two boys.
Jasie as she is known to her friends is an 8 year old little girl from New Jersey who has a smile that lights up the room. We first met Jasie at our annual Valentine's Day Party with Zak DeOssie at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. Jasie is a huge Giants fan and loved meeting Zak and posing for pictures with his Super Bowl ring. Later in May, Jasie and her mom attended the Giants Tour and Sundae Blitz at Met Life stadium where she met former Giants Super Bowl Champs Chris Snee and Shaun O'Hara. Jasie never stopped smiling as she toured Met Life Stadium and tried on Giants player's size 18 sneakers. Because of chemotherapy side effects and high susceptibility to infection, Jasie is not able to attend school. She requires full time care and must be supervised by her caretaker at all times to monitor for treatment side effects and administer medications as needed. The family faced possible eviction if not for the Jay Fund's support.
Kasey and her family joined the Jay Fund in March when she was diagnosed at age three with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She has three siblings: Hannah (11), MacKennah (9), and Finn (18 months). Since Kasey's diagnosis, life has changed for the her family, especially for Hannah and MacKennah. Both girls have provided lots of help and love to Kasey and Finn since childhood cancer became a part of their lives. They have also been a big help for their mother and father as they all help Kasey tackle childhood cancer. Kasey's family is grateful to be part of the Jay Fund family. They are especially excited to have Hannah and MacKennah join J.A.Y.S. Team, the new sibling support program, so they can meet other siblings and share their own story on how they help their sister tackle childhood cancer.
At just two years old, Donte was diagnosed with Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumor (ATRT), a very rare, fast-growing brain tumor. Mar'Keisha, Donte's mom, was in shock of the diagnosis, and even more so when the doctors told her Donte only had a thirteen percent chance of survival. The Jay Fund has been very involved in Donte's family by helping them overcome the unthinkable and BE THERE by paying for several mortgage payments for Mar'Keisha, and providing gas/grocery gift cards so she could tend to her family's needs and focus on Donte's well-being. Donte also has two sisters. When he was diagnosed with cancer, his mom was afraid that any sense of normalcy would be gone from her children's lives. The Jay Fund made sure that was not the case. "The Jay Fund gave us opportunities, not only for Donte, but for his sisters too, so they could enjoy being kids during this time of our lives. I cannot thank the Jay Fund enough," said Mar'Keisha. From circus tickets to support to make their holiday season feel normal, the Jay Fund choses to BE THERE every step of the way.
"The Jay Fund has been there since the day I was diagnosed with cancer. They provided me with an opportunity to smile when the days were hard and they provided me with the capability of seeing the future. Because of the Jay Fund, I am the person I am today and I can proudly say I tackled cancer. To this day, the Jay Fund is still impacting my life in every way and I could not be more thankful."
Kacey's mother, Krista, participated in the 2016 Jay Fund Momcology event. "I was blessed to go on a women's wellness retreat. It was scary for me to go because I had not left Kacey since she she was diagnosed with cancer. I had neglected myself during Kacey's treatment. This momcology retreat was instrumental in helping me focus on myself which I had not done in a long time. It helped me grow so I could take care of myself and in return take care of my family. I am thankful for the Jay Fund and the emotional support they provided myself and my family throughout Kacey's journey of tackling cancer."
"We were very fortunate to be able to take advantage of the things that the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund offers. Even after the horrible diagnosis with my son, we were still able to achieve things that we didn't imagine we would be able to. Without the assistance and guidance from the Jay Fund Financial Coach, the process of being able to purchase a home would have been much more difficult. We are very grateful for the opportunity of the many services the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund has to offer."
"Food was difficult in the hospital because all we did was eat out. When you've been in the hospital for over a month and you're eating out every day, it gets expensive. The food vouchers that were provided by the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund allowed us to eat better and helped us save money which was a huge relief. The Jay Fund's help also removed any potential financial long-term effects that could have happened because of cancer. We have a home because the Jay Fund chose to BE THERE and pay our house payments. The financial helped we received from the Jay Fund kept us on our feet and decreased our financial burden that cancer inflicted on us."
"The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund supported us emotionally and financially when we were in the hospital with Mateo. It was such a shock to our family, we were so scared. But the Jay Fund was always there for us, paying our rent, our car insurance, and our electricity. We are so grateful, there will never be enough words to describe how we feel knowing they are there, and they will continue to be there, for our family and other families dealing with pediatric cancer." – Cecilia, Mateo's mom


What is coagulation and how does it work in solutions?
Coagulation is the process (usually in colloids) in which oppositely charged ions (relative to the charge present in the solution) combine with the charges present in the solution to form a heavy cluster of particles resulting in the settling of the particles in the solution.
If a function is continuous at x=a, what can you comment about its derivative at x=a?
If a function is continuous at x=a, we cannot comment on its derivative at x=a as the information provided is insufficient. But if the derivative of the function exists at x=a, then we can surely say that the function is continuous at x=a.
If the resultant torque of all the forces acting on a body is zero about a point, is it necessary that it will be zero at any other point as well?
Yes, the resultant torque of all forces about any other point will also be zero. All the pseudo forces have to be taken into consideration as well. Torque is a function of the distance of Forces from the point of consideration and the Forces (All including pseudo-forces) being applied to the body.

Le conditionnement est une procédure d'apprentissage qui est au centre des théories béhavioristes. Ivan Pavlov, qui l'expérimenta avec un chien, le décrit comme une technique permettant à un stimulus neutre, d'induire une réponse réflexe qu'il n'induit pas naturellement. Dans le conditionnement Skinnerien, ce sont les conséquences positives (ajout d'un élément dans une situation) ou négatives (retrait d'un élément) d'un comportement qui, en retour, entraînent l'augmentation ou la diminution du débit de cette réponse (nombre de réponses émises par unité de temps). Ces relations temporelles apprennent à un individu à modifier son environnement de manière effective. Pour les comportementalistes, le conditionnement permet de rendre compte des phénomènes comme l'apprentissage et la résolution de problèmes et doit être au centre de la psychologie, comprise comme science du comportement.

Différents types de conditionnement
Il existe deux grands types de conditionnement : le conditionnement classique et le conditionnement opérant. Dans le premier cas le stimulus conditionne une réaction tandis que dans le second il conditionne une action.

Conditionnement classique

Le conditionnement classique (appelé aussi apprentissage masoréplique ou de type I) a été décrit et théorisé par Ivan Pavlov. C'est aussi ce conditionnement là qui est au centre des travaux de Watson.

L'apprentissage pavlovien consiste à associer un stimulus neutre (par exemple un son ou une lumière) au stimulus inconditionné (SI) (boulette de nourriture, choc électrique…). Ce son est initialement neutre pour l'animal, c'est-à-dire qu'il n'entraîne pas de réponse inconditionnée (RI). L'animal affamé qui entend un son ne salive pas sous l'effet du son. Il présente tout au plus une réaction d'alerte : il dresse les oreilles et tourne la tête en direction du son.

SN → RN (stimulus neutre → réponse neutre ou absence de réponse)

En revanche, si on présente une boulette de nourriture (SI) à un animal affamé, celui-ci salive. Cette salivation est un comportement de nature « réflexe » (RI).

SI → RI (schéma stimulus - réponse).

Une association entre SI et SN se fait en présentant de manière relativement régulière et rapprochée le son puis la nourriture. Alors qu'au début l'animal salive uniquement en présence de la nourriture, on remarque que progressivement la salivation débute dès l'apparition du son et avant l'apparition de la nourriture. Le comportement de salivation est ici un comportement conditionné appelé réponse conditionnée (RC) car générée par la seule présence du son (stimulus conditionné, SC). L'animal « anticipe » désormais la présentation imminente de la nourriture grâce au stimulus sonore.

SC → RC (le son entraîne la salivation)

Conditionnement opérant

Le conditionnement opérant (parfois appelé apprentissage skinnerien ou de type II) est issu de l'apprentissage instrumental de Thorndike et a été développé par Skinner.

Le conditionnement opérant réalise l'association entre une action de l'animal et un SI. Si, lorsque l'animal appuie sur un levier, une boulette de nourriture lui est délivrée, il apprendra rapidement à appuyer sur celui-ci. C'est son action qui « provoque » la survenue du renforçateur (le SI). Les protocoles utilisés peuvent aussi être beaucoup plus complexes et impliquer par exemple des plages temporelles pendant lesquelles seul l'animal peut agir pour être « récompensé ».

Lois du conditionnement
À l'origine, il était supposé que l'association SC-SI réalisée par l'animal était la conséquence des présentations du SC et du SI selon une contiguïté suffisante, c'est-à-dire une proximité, à la fois dans le temps et dans l'espace. Il a depuis été montré qu'un certain éloignement spatial ne nuisait pas à la qualité du conditionnement (pour autant que les deux stimuli soient dans un champ perceptif de l'animal). De même, des rats sont capables de réaliser ce type d'apprentissage (entre un goût d'aliment et une nausée par exemple), même s'ils sont présentés chacun une seule fois et sont séparés d'une heure ou plus.

Peut-être en lien avec l'émergence du paradigme cognitiviste, une nouvelle « loi » a été proposée comme fondement du conditionnement par Rescorla (1968). Le degré d'association entre SC et SI (force du conditionnement) ne dépend pas directement de la contiguïté entre ces deux, mais prioritairement de leur contingence. Ce terme de contingence, emprunté aux statistiques, décrit le degré de liaison entre deux stimuli. Si un SI est toujours précédé d'un SC et que ce SC est toujours suivi d'un SI, la contingence est maximale. Si un SI est toujours précédé d'un SC mais que ce SC est en fait rarement suivi d'un SI, la contingence est plus faible.
Cette théorie, impliquant un traitement cognitif complexe des stimuli et non une simple détermination par l'environnement, a permis de dépasser certaines limites du comportementalisme radical.

De plus, la principale caractéristique discriminatoire entre le conditionnement de type I Pavlov et celui de type II Skinner depend de la réponse attendue. Dans le type I Pavlov, il s'agit d'un réflexe, alors que dans le type II Skinner, il s'agit d'un comportement.

Applications
Ce type d'apprentissage élémentaire est important dans la mesure où il pourrait constituer un élément de base d'apprentissages plus complexes. Un autre grand intérêt est sa simplicité, qui en fait un outil puissant des études neurobiologiques de la mémoire mais aussi de bien d'autres aspects de la cognition. Il est abondamment utilisé chez le rat et la souris, et permet notamment de préciser quelles structures du système nerveux central sont impliquées dans quels types de mémoire.

Sustainability and the Global Footprint
Topic: Environment Words: 1126 Pages: 4 Mar 23, 2022
An ecological footprint is an instrument that enables an educated guess of the biologically fruitful area required to uphold existing consumption patterns. While doing so, it considers man's activities making it possible to predict the impact of such activities on the surroundings. This report examined the ecological footprints of different countries including the United States. It intended to ascertain these ecological footprints from facts accessible on the Global Footprint Network website. It was assumed that nearly all developed countries had higher ecological footprints than developing countries. All facts were obtained from the Global Footprint Network. The statistics showed that the world had a total of 6.476 billion residents, which translated to a total ecological footprint of 27 hectares per person. In the U.S., the total ecological footprint was found to be 8.0 hectares per person. The United States did not satisfy the prerequisites for sustainability. It was also realized that developed countries had high ecological footprints compared to their developing counterparts. It was suggested that reducing the amount of energy used could help lower the ecological footprint in the United States.

An ecological footprint is a tool used to approximate the biologically fruitful area that is needed to sustain existing consumption patterns while taking into consideration current industrial and financial processes. It is a resource balancing utility that assists nations to appreciate their environmental balance sheet (Footprints for nations, n.d.). In addition, it provides facts that are essential in the management of resources thereby helping a country safeguard its future. This technique examines a fundamental environmental prerequisite for sustainability by making it possible to weigh human impact against the earth's restricted productive zone (Ecological footprint, 2011). Ecological footprints have instructive strength because they convey the outcomes of the analyses in the form of spatial units, which can be relayed without any problems. Most ecological footprint approximations give data on international, nationwide as well as sub-national levels.
The present world witnesses elevated rates of population growth such that the numbers of people inhabiting the earth exceed the capacity of the earth to support them. Consequently, environmental resources are very crucial. Most countries have their own environmental risk reports. Numerous countries have footprints that surpass their natural capacity making them operate at ecological shortages.
This report looked at the ecological footprints of various countries paying particular attention to the United States. It aimed to determine the ecological footprint from data available at the Global Footprint Network website. It was hypothesized that most developed countries had high ecological footprints compared to developing countries.
All facts were obtained from the Global Footprint Network. The drop-down menu labeled 'Footprint Basics' was used to search the 'Footprint for Nations' options. A link for '2010 Data Tables' appeared at the bottom of the page. That link was clicked, and the table that appeared was used to answer the provided questions. Subsequently, a personal ecological footprint quiz was taken, and the data obtained were used to answer some other questions.
The statistics indicated that the world had a population of 6.476 billion. That meant an individual had approximately 1.8 hectares to himself. Therefore, the world's total ecological footprint was 27 hectares per person. In the United States alone, the total ecological footprint was estimated at 8.0 hectares per person. A careful look at the statistics revealed the total ecological footprint of other developed nations. Canada, for example, had a total ecological footprint of 7.0 hectares per individual, whereas Japan had a sum of 4.7 hectares per person. Australia was found to have a total ecological footprint of 6.8 hectares per person. Of the European countries, the country that had the highest total ecological footprint was Denmark at 8.3 hectares per person.
A look at a few less developed countries realized that Nigeria had a total ecological footprint of 1.4 hectares per person, whereas Bangladesh had 0.6 hectares per person. China, the most populous country was found to have a total ecological footprint of 2.2 hectares per person.
In addition, it was realized that the United Arab Emirates had a higher footprint than the United States. In the Americas, the lowest footprint of 0.4 hectares per person was observed in Timor Leste. Three other countries that had a national footprint of 0.5 hectares per individual were Burundi, Iraq and Libyan Arab Jamahiriya.
In the analysis of the EF, the category that corresponded to the author's highest category was services at 44 %, whereas the lowest was shelter at 8%. The author required a sum of 20 global hectares to sustain his lifestyle. If everybody lived like the author, 4.5 earths would be needed. Therefore, the author's lifestyle did not meet the definition of sustainability.
The United States does not meet the definition of sustainability. This can be attributed to the fact that an individual in the United States uses a total of 44% energy land. If such usage is to be extrapolated to the entire United States population, then large amounts of energy are used. Consequently, it is realized that the U.S. does not meet the definition of sustainability.
According to economist E. F. Schumacher in his book Small is Beautiful, "the problem passengers on spaceship Earth are the first-class passengers." The evidence from the above data is provided by the Global Footprint Network supports his observation. It is believed that the wealthiest people produce the most waste. Therefore, the less one has the less one consumes and vice versa. This is evident in the significantly high total ecological footprints of developed countries compared to developing countries. Developed countries are characterized by a lot of industrialization, which entails the utilization and consumption of large quantities of materials and energy. These processes lead to the release of similar quantities of wastes and other hazardous substances to the environment. In addition, developed countries have a lot of energy and other resources at their disposal making it easy for members of such countries to misuse these resources. Going by the above information, it is realized that the experimental results are in line with the proposed hypothesis that most developed countries have high ecological footprints compared to developing countries.
One of the two actions that the United States can take to lower its ecological footprint is to reduce the number of operational power plants to minimize future negative impact from the plants. The second course of action that can be beneficial to the United States is lowering water consumption and educating the public on ways of saving energy and other resources. An educated population is able to use energy efficiently making the decreased power output (from the first course of action) sufficient for daily activities. Consequently, less energy is going to be released to the environment leading to a reduced ecological footprint.

Suad Al-Yamani, director of AFTA, said the program's mission was to educate physicians about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), through workshops, practical training and lectures by specialized speakers.
"The physicians acquired leadership skills in no time and were able to apply them to a chronic affliction like ADHD," said Al-Yamani.
The groups were composed of different health care specialties. Al-Yamani pointed out that the specialists started planning to change the current health care status after only a few hours.
The program included workshops for family members of ADHD patients to teach them how best to deal with a child's behavior.
"The results indicated the speakers' abilities to stimulate the audience and involve them in planning for a bright future for ADHD patients," said Al-Yamani, stressing her confidence that by the end of the program, results would bring around a new generation of leaders in health care.

Repetition much? EAT THAT FROG is a super-quick read, coming in at just over one-hundred pages, comprised of twenty-one chapters. It felt more like ten chapters of mostly the same thing.
Let me summarize the book for you: write your goals down and focus on the most important thing first. Add a few quotes to open each chapter, carry out the swallow the frog analogy ad nauseam, reword the chapters that mean the same thing, and you get the gist.
What really irked me about this book is the lack of attribution. Not even the main frog eating concept was directly quoted. For those curious, Mark Twain said, "If you know you have to swallow a frog, swallow it first thing in the morning. If there are two frogs, swallow the big one first." Author Brian Tracy casually mentions Twain, but doesn't type it out. He continues to offer insight as his own, but repeatedly fails to make mention of his predecessors. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and Stephen R. Covey should probably have words with Tracy for directly referencing their material without any sort of reference.
Don't get me wrong, there are some great ideas here, but this is not Tracy's best effort. Reading DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF FOR BUSINESS was more assuring and satisfying than this. Reading Covey's SEVEN HABITS or Csikszentmihalyi's FLOW is even better. For some even more in-depth reading, Princeton's psychologist Daniel Khaneman's THINKING, FAST AND SLOW is the anti-thesis to what EAT THAT FROG offers.
If you are looking for a quick self-help snack, then EAT THAT FROG may help. Otherwise, skip the frog and go for the steak of my other recommendations.

In Negative - The negative has been cut very crudely, especially down the right hand edge of the image. 'B-17' has been written across the top in blue-black ink [MS 29/06/2006]
Notes on print/mount - One contact print made from this negative is contained in A. J. Hopkinson's negative case with the negative. The print appears to have been removed from an album, as there are traces of black mounting paper around the edges of the print as if it has been taken out after previously being glued in place. A partially decipherable caption has been written on the back in pencil: "[?] Pass - Febry 21st 1927 about 5 p.m.". 'H 12' has also been written on the back. The number 1 has been written on the front top right corner in pencil. [MS 29/06/2006]

Who doesn't love some what we call "red Italian." Growing up on the Jersey shore, this was Italian American food to us. I don't think I realized that there was any other Italian cuisine involving non-red sauces and polenta or risotto until I was an adult!
Tonight instead of just spaghetti we had bucatini, a fat strand pasta with a hole in it. I helped along some jarred spaghetti sauce with some additional tomatoes and spices (along with my secret flavor enhancer, fish sauce) and plopped in several frozen meatballs. Easy, fast, and yummy comfort food!!

Definitely not. Standard hemp oil, which can be found very cheaply at a grocery store, is a much different product than our full spectrum hemp extracts (not from seed). Standard hemp oil is produced by cold pressing the seeds, whereas our hemp extract is a full plant extraction with many components not typically found in the seeds. Hemp seed oil is considered to be a great nutritive food, but it doesn't have the naturally occurring terpenes, cannabinoids and other components that our extracts do have.

Group Urges Ebonyi Lawmakers To Commence Impeachment Process Against Umahi
A group identified as Ebonyi State Indigenes in the Diaspora (AESID) has asked the state House of Assembly to embark on the impeachment of the governor.
This follows the defection of Governor Dave Umahi from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to the group, there is already a substantial breach of the Nigerian constitution and subsisting Supreme Court verdicts which insist that a governor cannot defect to another political party unless there is internal leadership crises within his own party.
A statement signed on Sunday, November 22 by the AESID's President General, Ambassador Paschal Oluchukwu read: "AESID boldly urge Ebonyi lawmakers to immediately commence impeachment proceedings against the governor. We make this call due to our beliefs and understanding of Umahi as a brutal dictator who is ready to set our dear state on fire in pursuit of his ego-laced selfish interests.
"Finally, as we have always reiterated, Ebonyi belongs to all of us and one man's personal ambition and interest cannot plunge the rest of the state which our fore-fathers laboured for many years to have into crises of monumental proportion.
"Ebonyi cannot be set aflame simply because Governor Umahi wants to protect his wealth belonging to Ebonyi people with the pretence of running for the highest office in the land."
AESID condemned in its totality and took a swipe at Governor Umahi for his subtle threats to his appointees and the state legislators including the suspension of Hon. Victor Aleke from the State's House of Assembly for keeping fate with the mandate given to him by his people.
Recall that the AESID had earlier stated that the defection of Umahi didn't come as a surprise, stressing that the governor is known for political inconsistency since his foray into politics.

It is very convenient because you delete the cache and update the page by clicking the icon.
There are also requests, there are times when the notification that appears after icon clicking is in the way. I want you to be able to hide this.
Also, I confirmed that the Empty Cache Button icon will disappear from the combination of Firefox 55.0.3(x64) and Empty Cache Button 3.4.
It will be displayed when you return to the previous version.
You can hide the notification by unchecking the box in options dialog. Or did you mean something else?
Regarding the 3.4 version, we had some problems with version limit just the other day (check latest reviews). Maybe that was the issue. If it persists, I will have a look.
I use this constantly. Be it a web dev or netadmin, Firefox aggressively caches and can make you crazy as you develop content or have a lot of DNS changes. This makes it so easy to just get things working again.
Must have for Webdesigners. Thank you!
Was a great plugin that saved me lots of mouse clicks throughout my day, but unfortunately it hasn't been working lately.
It works as expected on 62.0, you must be having some other issues.
(1) very nice add-on and (2) special thanks for NOT selling your extension.
This extension is not for sale.
This add-on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt.
I have Firefox 52.5 ESR.
looking in version history page, Version 3.4 works with Firefox 48.0 and above.
looking in "mvm" page, version 3.4 works only with firefox 57+.
I think that the problem is only a wrong information.
Weird. Does version 3.3 install normally?
Oh, now I see. To be honest I have no idea why AMO put version 48.0 as a limit version. It's supposed to be 53.0+.
Thanks for bringing the ESR version to my attention, will find out more and make a decision.

2. At 2.00 p.m., of the 19th, the WOMPATUCK was sent with despatches to the Commander-in-Chief, accompanied by the HORNET and the HIST. The former to maintain the blockade near Cape Cruz, the latter, having a pilot on board, was directed to show the way to the other vessels to rejoin the blockading force off Santa Cruz next forenoon. The remaining vessels of the blockading force steamed to and anchored at Guayabal over night.
3. At 6.00 a.m., the 20th, the vessels got underway and proceeded off Santa Cruz, the HIST rejoining as the town was approached. The approach to the town was made in column of vessels, the WILMINGTON heading for the eastern edge of the place, where was located a blockhouse. When in as close as the depth of the water would warrant, this vessel was headed gradually to the westward and some 6 pdr. shell thrown at the blockhouse, the other vessels following her movements. As the western end of the town was reached in which is located the barracks of the soldiers, some small shell were thrown at the building. Two circuits were made by the vessels firing from each occurring, as it came into position, on the two places mentioned.
4. The only evidence of life about the entire place was upon the approach of the vessels, when some thirty soldiers from the blockhouse were observed to ferry themselves across a narrow stream by boats and dispersed among the trees. The town appeared to be absolutely deserted and not a single vessel of any distinction was visible.
5. At 11.30 a.m., the signal "Cease firing" was made and the SCORPION and OSCEOLA directed to return to Guayabal and maintain the blockade of Manzanillo from the northward. The remaining vessel[s] then proceeded westward, passing through the Outer Mate Passage, the Pingue Pass, and anchored before dark in Gitano Pass.
6. This appearance of the force off Santa Cruz was simply intended as a demonstration. It is evident from the absence of shipping throughout the waters in which these vessels have been that a great effect has been produced by their simple presence be-known to exist. The only means of transportation from Santa Cruz, either east or west, is by water, and I do not consider it at present of any great importance so far as blockading is concerned, but it will be visited by some one of the vessels occasionally to keep it under observation.
Commander, U.S.N.,
Commanding,
Senior Officer Present.

Are you tired of spending all your time creating images to post on social media only to figure out that is ALL you spend your time on? Then how much additional time do you spend checking to see the number of likes and shares for each image only to be disappointed?
If you are a solopreneuer, you better be spending your time creating content or working on growing your product line instead of more time creating images to post or pin. But how can you do that when your time is consumed by needing more posts, images and creative ideas? Well, it is very difficult. I want to give you another way out of that insanity circle.
Which Platform Gives you Leverage on Social Media?
I want to only review three platforms: Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.
Twitter tweets are measured to last from minutes up to days.
Facebook posts are measured to last from hours up to days.
Pinterest pins are measured to last from days to months!
Why Does Pinterest have more Leverage than the others?
Consumers use Pinterest different than other social media. While Facebook and Twitter are mostly used to reminisce the past or analyze the present.
Pinterest is used to plan the FUTURE so pins lifespan is 1600 times longer than Facebook post….
Boards are created by the users to be aspirational – weddings, do-it-yourself decorating, arts and crafts, and party recipes – which means that pins can be repinned so many times over as long as there are users.
I increased my sales WITHOUT using Facebook or Twitter for the past 2 years more than 63%. Watch this short 5 minute video to hear my story and see examples of how to market on Pinterest for your business and get the same results.
So tell me, what has held you back from having success on Pinterest? Give me some feedback in the comments so I can help you along your journey!

Michaiah Shobek (nacido como James Michael Shoffner; 1954-19 de octubre de 1976), también conocido como El asesino de los ángeles de Lucifer (The Angels of Lucifer Killer), fue un asesino en serie estadounidense que asesinó a tres turistas estadounidenses en las Bahamas entre diciembre de 1973 y enero de 1974. Posteriormente fue ejecutado por sus crímenes.

Biografía
Nacido como James Michael Shoffner en Milwaukee, Shobek creció con su madre, Juanita Spencer, personal de limpieza en una escuela de Milwaukee, sin llegar a conocer a su padre. A los dos años de edad se contagió de una enfermedad viral que le causó daño cerebral permanente. De adulto, comenzó a trabajar como empleado de mantenimiento, con el sueño de convertirse algún día en compositor. En noviembre de 1973, cuando tenía 17 años, se mudó a las Bahamas para "vagar", cambiándose el nombre por el de Michaiah Shobek.

Asesinatos
El 5 de diciembre de 1973, Shobek asesinó a su primera víctima, Paul V. Howell, un abogado de 50 años de Massillon, Ohio, quien se encontraba en una convención. Howell se hallaba en su cuarto del hotel la noche del miércoles cuando escuchó un golpe inesperado en la puerta; fue apuñalado en el pecho y garganta inmediatamente después de abrirla, muriendo en el instante. La policía sospechó que pudo haber sorprendido a ladrones, y se centró en esa teoría, mientras que el cuerpo de Howell fue enviado para ser preparado para los servicios fúnebres en Ohio.

El 18 de enero del año siguiente, Shobek asesinó a su segunda víctima, Irvin Bernstein, un contador de 44 años empleado en el Ministerio de Pesca, de Ocean City, Nueva Jersey. Bernstein había llegado a Nasáu desde Miami en un vuelo de Air Bahamas el día anterior, y Shobek lo vio y se ofreció a llevarlo. Llevó a Bernstein desde el aeropuerto, fingiendo insinuaciones sexuales para que no se diera cuenta de que no se dirigían al hotel.

Cuando Shobek detuvo el auto y sacó un cuchillo, Bernstein abrió la puerta e intentó escapar, pero fue atrapado y apuñalado hasta morir; su cuerpo fue encontrado en Yamacraw Beach al día siguiente, solo con calcetines y zapatos puestos, y con múltiples puñaladas. Junto al cuerpo se encontraron un bolígrafo y un par de gafas de sol pertenecientes a Shobek, mientras que en Isla Paradise, casi a 13 kilómetros de distancia, se encontró una mochila negra con algunos de los documentos de Bernstein, además de la licencia de conducir de su asesino. Cuando Shobek fue arrestado más adelante, tenía en su posesión el bolígrafo de Bernstein.

El 26 de enero, Shobek asesinó a su última víctima, Katie Smith, de 17 años, de Detroit, quien había llegado de visita a las Bahamas con un grupo de estudiantes acompañados. Se le vio caminando con Shobek el día antes del asesinato, y al día siguiente su cuerpo fue encontrado en una zanja junto a una caja de cartón, con señales de haber sido estrangulada hasta morir.

Arresto, juicio y ejecución
Shobek fue finalmente arrestado por el asesinato de Bernstein, pero su juicio se pospuso, ya que había una investigación por robo en un banco en proceso. Cuando se reanudó en 1975, Shobek confesó los otros asesinatos, declarando que las víctimas eran "ángeles de Lucifer", y que Dios le había ordenado que los matara. Si bien al principio fue sentenciado a morir en la horca el 8 de octubre únicamente por el asesinato de Bernstein, se le concedió una prórroga indefinida tras una apelación presentada por la embajada de Estados Unidos, en la que se alegaba que no se había proporcionado información sustancial al tribunal.

Durante un examen psiquiátrico, las autoridades se enteraron de que Shobek había viajado entre Estados Unidos y las Bahamas por casi dos años. Se desconoce si asesinó a más personas durante dicho período.

La ejecución de Shobek se aplazó hasta el 19 de octubre, cuando iba a ser ejecutado en la Prisión de Fox Hill. El día antes de la ejecución, un abogado de Legal Aid Society, representando a la madre de Shobek, se dirigió al entonces presidente Gerald Ford para hacer una apelación de último minuto, pero la solicitud fue rechazada por un asesor presidencial. Por lo tanto, Michaiah Shobek fue colgado; más tarde, Addington Darville, Jefe del Departamento de Investigación, confirmó la muerte. En ese momento, Shobek fue el primer estadounidense en ser colgado en las Bahamas en 15 años.
