Imaging unveils temperature distribution inside living cells
(Nanowerk News) A research team in Japan exploring the functions of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) – a molecule that encodes the chemical blueprint for protein synthesis – has discovered a way to take a close look at the temperature distribution inside living cells. This discovery may lead to a better understanding of diseases, such as cancer, which generate extraordinary intracellular heat.
This breakthrough is the first time anyone has been able to show the actual temperature distribution inside living cells. The team will present its findings at the 57th Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society (BPS), held Feb. 2-6, 2013, in Philadelphia, Pa.
Conventional temperature imaging methods lack spatial resolution and sensitivity, which means these methods are incapable of imaging extremely tiny temperature differences inside living cells. To overcome these issues, the team developed a new imaging method that combines a highly sensitive thermometer with an incredibly accurate detection technique, enabling the creation of detailed intracellular temperature maps.
"Our imaging method allows us to clearly see the temperature inside living cells, and we found that the temperature differs greatly depending on the location in the cell," says Kohki Okabe, an assistant professor at the University of Tokyo's Laboratory of Bioanalytical Chemistry, Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Science. "We discovered that the temperature difference is related to the various stages of the cell cycle."
This research provides a novel point of view: Temperature not only regulates biological molecules, but it actually contributes to cellular functions.
"By incorporating cellular temperature mapping into the analysis of any kind of cellular event, we can achieve a deeper understanding of cellular functions," Okabe explains. "It is our hope that by using this method of temperature imaging, the pathogenesis of diseases known to generate significant heat within cells, such as cancer, can be clarified. We believe this may help lead to future cures."
Next, Okabe and colleagues plan to explore how temperature contributes to cellular functions in even greater detail, as well as investigating differences in the intracellular temperatures of various living cells.
Presentation #1033-Plat, "Imaging of temperature distribution in a living cell," will take place at 11:45 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 4, 2013, in the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Room 113AB. ABSTRACT: http://tinyurl.com/b6dnae6

Listening to sweet melodies under the stars with good company and a bottle of sweet wine… Although every instrument has its own value and beauty, the guitar is that one instrument you can take anywhere with you and play it without relying on electricity, unlike the piano for instance. This and many other reasons is what has made the guitar the most popular instrument there is. Regardless of whether you're just starting, or you've been playing the guitar for quite a while now, there are lots of interesting facts about it you might find useful in different situations. Whether answering quiz questions, trying to impress someone or just making sure that you know enough about your instrument, here are some bits of additional info you'll be glad to have up your sleeve.
– The word guitar in the English language comes from the 1660s from the Spanish word 'guitarra'.
– It is believed that the guitar originated from an older instrument known as 'sitara' from central Asia and ancient India.
– According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the world's largest guitar is over 13 metres long. It was created by the Academy of Science and Technology in Texas and weighs over 1 000kg.
– Generally speaking, the classic guitar consists of six strings, however, there are begginers guitars with three strings ideal for beginners and little children who want to step into the melodic guitar world.
– The most expensive guitar in the world created by Fender 'Reach Out to Asia' was sold for $2.7 million at an auction for the purpose of raising money for victims of the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami in 2004.
– The most luxurious guitar in the world was made by Gibson in 2015. 'The Eden of Coronet' is a white SG that features more than 400 diamonds, and around 1.6kg of 18k gold.
– According to a study, the Fender guitar company makes around 90 000 guitar strings a day.
– The first electric guitars were invented in 1930, a turning point that is responsible for most of today's modern popular music.
– Both classical and electronic guitars are played by finger-plucking, or by striking the strings with the help of a small pick which is a small triangular piece of plastic, or with a plectrum (this goes only for electric guitars).
– The classic guitar is also known as Spanish guitar, and one of the history's greatest guitarist Paco de Lucia comes precisely from Spain.
– The ideal begginers guitars are the ones that fit perfectly in your hand, and those you feel comfortable playing on.

Scoping Blue Planet Eyewear
Carpinteria Sunglass Company Makes Low-Cost Product with High Values
By Gilberto Flores
Tue Aug 09, 2016 | 12:00am
Blue Planet Eyewear's Matt Weinstein and Lisa Lawenda
Paul Wellman
Blue Planet Eyewear's line of stylish yet low-cost sunglasses and readers started as a passion project in the Santa Barbara garage of the late David Weinstein almost 40 years ago. But it's since grown into an eco-minded, Carpinteria-based company that continues to thrive as "my saving grace in life," according to his son, Matt Weinstein.
The elder Weinstein first began making Blue Gem Sunglasses in 1982, and the brand soon became known for a diverse collection of styles and frames. In 2009, he decided that there was a better way to handle the massive amounts of waste involved in manufacturing. So he created new glasses out of all the postconsumer material and dubbed it Blue Planet Eyewear. "He wanted to do a better job creating a line that was eco-friendly and better for the environment," said Matt Weinstein, who is now brand manager for Blue Planet. Today, the glasses are all made from recycled plastics or metals that are nickel-free, which reduces toxic byproducts. They also use non-lead paints and offer many frames made from sustainable bamboo.
The company enjoys being headquartered in seaside Carpinteria. "We love Carp," Weinstein said. "All of our eyewear is designed with our beach lifestyle in mind."
In addition to Blue Planet's environmental charge, the company takes social responsibility one step further by sponsoring school fundraisers and beach cleanups. But its primary charitable program is called Visualize Change; for every frame sold, Blue Planet donates a pair of glasses to someone in need through partnerships with charities like SEE International, Direct Relief, Feed the Children, and the Best Day Foundation. To date, Blue Planet has donated more than 150,000 pairs of glasses to people in need in the U.S. and world. Explained Weinstein, "I wanted it to be something where someone can feel good about what they're purchasing, not only from an environmental standpoint but also knowing that their purchase is helping another person in need."
Blue Planet Eyewear's Matt Weinstein reflected in Lisa Lawenda sunglasses
Growing up, Weinstein didn't necessarily think he'd be running his dad's sunglasses company. While backpacking around the world in 2012, he was working at an orphanage in Africa when he got a phone call from home informing him that his father had been diagnosed with cancer. After six months taking care of his father until he passed away, Matt was quite involved in the company. "I ended up falling in love with what I was doing," said Weinstein, whose mother, Deborah Weinstein, has taken over her late husband David's role as president.
His wife, Lisa Lawenda, is vice president of sales for Blue Gem, which remains Blue Planet's parent company, and the two now design all the frames in Blue Planet's line. The couple just recently celebrated the birth of their baby boy. Matt Weinstein credits his father's company and his wife's support for grounding him and bringing him home. "It gave me a future," he said.
Blue Planet's glasses can be purchased online at shopblueplaneteyewear.com or at retailers such as Plum Goods on State Street.

Right now, I'm investigating a new travel technique, which I'm calling "Slow Daily Travel". By going slow (traveling 1o to 100 miles per day), your journey can often become more intriguing and enjoyable. My technique involves traveling as far as you like each day, and then staying overnight in a hotel. The next day you repeat, until you reach your destination. If you pack minimally enough, and you are not in a hurry to get anywhere, this techniques works quite well.
You can use any efficient type of transportation you like to travel. You can walk, cycle, kayak, sail, ride a bus, or ride a train. Electric vehicles are also ideal for this kind of travel because you can recharge your batteries overnight, and have them ready for the next day. You can use electric vehicles like electric bikes, electric kayaks, electric catamarans or dinghies (see the book Sustainable Sailing for more info on electric boats). You can also make use of solar chargers with these vehicles (I'll be examining solar charging in detail in an upcoming article).
In conjunction with this, I've been investigating car-free routes around my home. So far, I've discovered a surprising number of car-free routes from my local area, Northern Virginia. Some of the routes include: the WO&D Trail (biking trail from Washington, DC to Purcellville, VA) the C&O Canal Trail (biking trail from Washington, DC to Cumberland, MD), the Great Allegheny Passage (biking trail that goes from Cumberland, MD to Pittsburgh, PA), the Intracoastal Waterway (an inland waterway that goes from Norfolk, VA to Miami, FL). The Chesapeake Bay is also a huge car-free region that you can explore for months in a small boat.
By investigating car-free routes, I've actually become more aware of the terrain around my home, and this has made me think differently about my vacation plans. I'll be going into the details of my slow travel in upcoming articles.

As the elections loom and the key political parties advocate their differing manifestos, one of the elements that there isn't too much of a disparity on is their recognition on the value of Apprenticeships.
With The Conservative Party wanting to create another 3 million apprenticeships, & Labour endeavouring to encourage an equal number of apprenticeships as university applicants within the next decade it's immense validation regardless of who you support.
Having been with iO1 for the past four years, I've had the pleasure of observing many apprentices enter the organisation as apprehensive newbies, work their way up the ranks and emerge as capable & invaluably confident team members that the most respected individuals within our most prestigious client organisations specifically request!
From my own experience of growing up in Ireland, apprenticeships were often seen as a last resort & had more negative than positive associations attached. John or Jane only took only took one if they didn't make the grades – Admittedly this was a looong time ago and things may have changed, but unfortunately apprenticeships never went head to head with college or University applications.
If a student has a strength towards a particular subject matter or industry & encounters the right opportunity, it makes absolute sense for them to enter the workforce, learn on the job, earn a salary & emerge a couple of years later with a qualification & significant headstart on their counterparts who have spent the same amount of time studying.
Let me go back to the significance of the right opportunity – the hosting organisation is as important as the apprentice itself & there needs to be a match – it's a significant investment of company time & resource – but an investment we make with a heart & half for the right person. We're growing fast & continually expanding the team, always on the look out for the right minds to join us – in fact, we've just opened another apprenticeship role to join our Sales & Marketing team to help continue the significant success we have enjoyed in a relatively short space of time.
Looking forward to welcoming them to join our hard working, fun loving, ping-pong playing team!

I had a planned induction at 39 weeks of pregnancy due to my daughter's spina bifida diagnosis and my anxiety around the situation.
In the lead up to being induced, I didn't really know how I was feeling. I just kept busy and stayed quiet. I was overwhelmed with emotions. My husband worked right up to the day before I went into hospital. Our family took us out for a meal the night before to help take my mind of everything and relax.
Six hours after my first pessary, I was still 0cm dilated. Since nothing seemed to be happening, my husband went to his brother's flat 10 minutes away from hospital and I text him goodnight. The second pessary was put in at around 10.00pm and almost straight away contractions started. I was at 10cm by midnight.
I quickly called my husband and was moved to the labour ward. He arrived just before my waters broke. The baby's heart rate started dropping and I was rushed into an emergency c-section. There wasn't time to do a spinal block so I was put under general anaesthetic. When I came round I was told we had a little girl. We named her Zoe.
Zoe went into surgery at two days old for her back closure. I was still an inpatient myself. My husband was staying at the Ronald McDonald house so he came and collected me in a chair first thing and we went to the ward. We went down to the theatre with Zoe and gave her a kiss before she went in. It was the most heart breaking thing I've ever had to do. We both sobbed as she was taken away.
The day is really just one big blur because we were filled with worry and nerves. The whole situation of our child not being with us and the helplessness of knowing that there was nothing we could do was so distressing. She was in surgery for almost eight hours. We sat at her empty bed space and waited for her all day. Finally we had good news - the surgery went amazingly well!
A week later Zoe had another surgery to fit a shunt to drain the fluid from her brain which had been caused by hydrocephalus. This surgery took around five hours. This shunt will be permanent for her and has been successful so far. However shunts can be temperamental and come with their risks of failure and infection. We know the signs and symptoms of this and always look out for them with Zoe.
I felt very helpless when Zoe was in the neonatal unit. I think because I'm a nurse, I found it hard to switch off. I kept looking at the machines and the numbers and this would just make me more anxious.
My husband tried to help me feel comfortable whilst we were there because I was in a lot of pain from the c-section. He was also a great support whenever I was emotional. Our families brought us food which was wonderful because we never wanted to leave Zoe's side; which meant we never left the unit to eat.
The staff and Bliss volunteers were always very supportive and asked if we needed anything. I am really private with how I'm feeling so I never divulged much but it was always great to know people were there to support and help us.
When we were told we could go home we were over the moon. I could not wait to get into a home environment and have our baby girl to ourselves.
We have recently moved into our new home and are making memories together as a family. It has been amazing and we couldn't imagine life without Zoe.
Zoe has defied everyone's expectations. So far there is nothing to show that the lesion has affected any leg or foot movement which orthopaedics and physios are impressed with. She is such a little wriggler!
Zoe cannot empty her bladder completely on her own so she needs intermittent catheters done four times a day to drain it. It was challenging at the beginning but it has become much easier. Now more people in the family can do this which helps me a lot. Zoe also has her shunt which so far has been great and caused no issues. She has regular appointments and check-ups with many different specialists and clinics. It is really overwhelming and I struggle at times but my husband is excellent and helps me as much as he can when he's not at work and our families have been massively supportive.
Since Zoe's diagnosis, I have met so many amazing families with kids with spina bifida and they are all incredible warriors. Every single one is different and not every child has the same diagnosis. Some need wheelchairs, some don't need wheelchairs. Some need shunts, some don't need shunts. But all of them have defied the expectations of doctors and others around them.
If someone you love is expecting a baby with spina bifida, ask the parents questions and learn about the condition from them. I don't think Google gives anyone a good insight on spina bifida. So if the parents are willing, then learn from them. Also, just be there for them. It is overwhelming. Being pregnant or becoming a first time mum can be very lonely; having everything else piled on top of this can be exhausting. They might not say it but they often just want someone to be there to cry to or laugh with.
Zoe has enriched all our lives and brings us incredible joy each and every day; we couldn't be more proud.


Today, United Way Central and South Okanagan/Similkameen (CSO), in partnership with Interior Savings Credit Union, announced the recipients of the inaugural investments from the Social Enterprise Accelerator Fund. In Penticton, the Okanagan School of the Arts and in Kelowna, Elevation Outdoors secured funding designed to help them build long-term sustainable revenue for their social enterprise programs. Both organizations will receive 15 months of mentorship through Purppl's Social Enterprise Acceleration program.
Okanagan School of the Arts' Shatford Centre is a beautiful heritage building in the heart of Penticton. Currently the Centre provides event and program space but sees huge potential to create an innovative hub for creative community events and connections for social services, non-profit, business and arts organizations.
Elevation Outdoors' social enterprise project has two components; the Intro to Adventure Summer Camp and the Elevation Bus and Bike Rental programs. The Intro to Adventure Summer Camp is a fee-for-service program that assists young people to gain access to outdoor recreation opportunities and the Rental Program utilizes existing assets for rental to other local organizations and companies.
Purppl's program teams social enterprises with a pair of experienced "Entrepreneurs in Residence" to help them refine and scale their business model. Two such Entrepreneurs in Residence are Alyssa Farr and Fraser Campbell. Alyssa co-founded a social enterprise commercial, industrial, and residential, repair contracting company. She also helped to initiate three social enterprises with Metro Community. Fraser is a serial entrepreneur who grew fencing and pallet companies across Canada, among other start-ups. He is also director with the Kelowna Food Bank and contributed significantly to their new building project. Entrepreneurs in Residence bring a balance of experience and coaching while also helping to hold each social enterprise accountable to moving forward.
To apply, charities needed a well-formed social enterprise idea – one that, with the right support, could grow to deliver both economic and social outcomes. Applicant charities submitted their proposals at the end of May and were invited to present their social enterprise at a Dragon's Den style pitch night to an independent selection panel that scrutinized potential social impact, sustainability, ability to scale, and leadership.
For over 65 years, the United Way of the Central and South Okanagan/Similkameen has served the region from Lake Country in the North, to Osoyoos and Princeton in the South. Their mission is to improve lives and build community by engaging individuals and mobilizing collective action. The United Way invests in three focus areas that support all that kids can be, move people from poverty to possibility and builds strong communities. They also invest resources in local capacity building and community initiatives that support our mission. See www.unitedwaycso.com or call 1-855-232-1321.


Nanophotonics has been extensively studied with the aim of unveiling and exploiting light-matter interactions that occur at a scale below the diffraction limit of light. From the viewpoint of information, novel architectures, novel design and analysis principles, and even novel computing paradigms should be considered so that we can fully benefit from the potential of nanophotonics for various applications. In this chapter, we first present some fundamental and emergent attributes associated with optical excitation transfer mediated by optical near-field interactions. Toward achieving a computing paradigm that surpasses the classical von Neumann architecture, we describe stochastic solution searching, which exploits the spatiotemporal dynamics of optical excitation transfer. Second, we show information security applications based on near-field applications, together with their theoretical and experimental foundations. Finally, we present a stochastic analysis of light-assisted self-organized material formation in order to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying physics. We consider that a common feature across all of these demonstrations is the extraction of "intelligent" functions and behaviors from an information-based standpoint—an idea represented by the title of this chapter, "nanointelligence".

Emergency Connectivity Fund: The Case for Flexibility and More Money
lastmileearth October 28, 2021
Windhausen
Congress took a significant step toward solving the digital divide when it created the Emergency Connectivity Fund in the spring of 2021, appropriating over $7 billion for schools and libraries to connect learners to broadband off campus.
The Federal Communications Commission has been dispersing this pot of money at an impressive pace. As of this writing, over 60 percent of the Emergency Connectivity Fund applications filed in the initial June to August window have been processed, with the FCC approving $2.6 billion in funding. In addition to tackling the remaining applications submitted over the summer, the FCC is now processing $1.3 billion in requests from a second filing window that closed in mid-October. We expect the FCC to complete its decision-making early next year, which should give applicants time to spend their funds before the deadline of June 30, 2022.
But beyond the FCC's speedy application processing, what are we to make of the program so far? Interviews with nearly a dozen Emergency Connectivity Fund applicants reveal that, while there is room for improvement, the program as a whole seems to be working. The FCC has approved applications both large and small in almost every state in the country. The grants range from a huge award of $12 million for 20,000 laptops and 22,000 connections to students of Baltimore City Schools, to an award of roughly $587,000 to the Wapato School District in central Washington to cover hotspots and tablets for a community on the edge of the Yakama Indian reservation.
Most approved applications focused on hotspots and devices, often benefiting from state master contracts that keep prices low. Despite supply chain problems that limited the shipment of hotspots last year, procurement of this equipment has been relatively easy. Many schools and libraries received their hotspots within a couple of months after ordering them, and have already begun placing them with students and families in need. Still other schools and libraries have been approved to purchase hotspots on school buses and park them in communities lacking internet access. Schools and libraries are also receiving support for devices such as laptops and tablets, which Funds For Learning estimates were requested by about 70 percent applications in the first filing window.
Despite the Emergency Connectivity Fund's apparent success, the FCC still needs to iron out some wrinkles. Only about a quarter of current E-rate participants applied for this funding, even though the program is open to most E-rate recipients. Unfortunately, many libraries and some schools were also discouraged from applying because of the FCC's onerous record retention requirements. The fear of future audits chilled enthusiasm as well.
Curiously, some of the most innovative Emergency Connectivity Fund applications have not yet been funded, or have been denied. For example:
Pending Approval: A library in rural San Benito, California, hopes to purchase 10,000 Chromebooks for its patrons, including migrant farm workers and their families. The library also hopes to self-provision a network based on a fixed point-to-point signal combined with Wi-Fi access to connect households where there is no other commercial broadband provider.
Pending Approval: The remote Eastern Shore Public Library aims to loan hotspots, iPads, and Chromebooks by partnering with nonprofit organizations that serve vulnerable populations, including those with disabilities, older adults, and survivors of domestic violence. Since these nonprofit partners work directly with individuals who lack internet access, this nonprofit connectivity should satisfy the unmet need requirement without asking library patrons to surrender their privacy.
Denied: The East Baton Rouge Parish Library proposed to place multi-use hotspots in community parks and public housing developments. The legislation that authorized the Emergency Connectivity Fund specifically allows funding for connections outside of the school or library building, so it's unclear why the library's request was denied.
Despite the prevalence of hotspot requests from Emergency Connectivity Fund applicants, hotspots have some weaknesses. Several rural school and library leaders report that hotspots do not work in their areas because the cellphone signal is not strong enough. Furthermore, the value of hotspot lending services may be curtailed by limited data caps because the FCC rules do not require service to be unlimited. For this reason, many communities submitted applications to promote alternatives to hot spots, such as private LTE and other wireless solutions. The FCC could do some communities a world of good by authorizing schools and libraries to pursue these innovative and cost-effective solutions.
Congress and the FCC have the potential to multiply the impact of the Emergency Connectivity Fund in the upcoming Build Back Better legislation. First and foremost, Congress should provide additional funding to sustain the program beyond the current school year, because remote learning won't leave us any time soon. And just as importantly, the FCC should eliminate barriers to Emergency Connectivity Fund participation, as these challenges have prevented participation from the schools and libraries whose communities would benefit the most from support. Finally, we urge Congress and the FCC to allow schools and libraries to execute innovative connectivity solutions to connect the maximum number of school children and library patrons at the lowest possible cost.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Thursday he reserved the right to resort to both diplomatic and military options to pressure Syrian President Bashar al-Assad but insisted that U.S. action alone would not be enough to resolve the Syrian crisis.
Taking a cautious line at a joint news conference with Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, Obama voiced hope that the United States and Russia would succeed in arranging an international peace conference on Syria, despite signs of growing obstacles.
Erdogan had been expected to push Obama, at least in private, for more assertive action on Syria during a visit to Washington this week, days after car bombs tore through a Turkish border town in the deadliest spillover of violence yet.
Obama - who has been reluctant to arm Syrian rebels or become enmeshed militarily in the conflict - made no mention of deeper engagement in Syria during an appearance at the White House, where the leaders sought to project a united front.
"What we have to do is apply steady international pressure," Obama said.
Both leaders stressed the need to bring the Syrian government and opposition to the negotiating table after more than two years of fighting that has killed more than 80,000 people and risks destabilizing the volatile Middle East.
But Russia's insistence on Thursday that Iran, a U.S. foe and Assad supporter, take part in any international talks on Syria could further complicate efforts to organize the meeting.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tehran must have a role in the conference, but that Western states wanted to limit the participants and possibly predetermine the outcome of the talks.
Conflicting comments from Russia and the West over Iran's role in the possible meeting have added to disagreements which already threaten to derail the conference proposed by Moscow and Washington last week.
Erdogan, whose country would be a key player in any conference, suggested that the involvement of Russia and China - both permanent members of the U.N. Security Council - would add impetus, but he made no mention of Iran being invited to attend.
Turkey, a U.S. NATO ally, has been one of Assad's fiercest critics, throwing its weight behind the uprising, allowing the rebels to organize on its soil and sheltering 400,000 refugees.
Earlier on Thursday, Turkish President Abdullah Gul criticized the world's response on Syria as limited to "rhetoric," saying his country had received little help with the refugee influx. Gul's role is largely a ceremonial one.
Turkey has been among the strongest opponents of Assad but its enthusiasm for action against Syria has waned recently, partly in frustration at the fractured Syrian opposition and growing brutality.
Fighters of the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front in Syria executed 11 men they accused of taking part in massacres by Assad's forces in a video published on Thursday.
A man whose face was covered in a black balaclava shot each man in the back of the head as they kneeled, blindfolded and lined up in a row in the eastern province of Deir al-Zor.
With intelligence assessments that Assad has likely used chemical weapons on a small scale against the opposition, Obama stuck to his position that more specific information is needed to confirm this before deciding how to respond.
Obama, who had said chemical weapons use would cross a "red line," made clear, however, that Washington was keeping all options on the table, though he did not provide specifics.
But pushing back against the notion that the United States might act alone, Obama said he would present any further chemical weapons evidence to the international community.
With American public opinion running strongly against new military engagement overseas, the White House wants to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Iraq war when false intelligence was used to justify the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.
Erdogan said Turkey was in full consensus with the United States on the need to end the bloodshed in Syria and for a political transition to a government without Assad, but declined to be drawn out on whether Washington should do more.
Erdogan faces growing domestic concern about Turkey's role in Syria and its cost. He said Ankara would maintain its "open-door policy" toward Syrian refugees. He estimated that Ankara had already spent $1.5 billion on the problem.
Touching on another issue of strong U.S. interest, Erdogan said he would go ahead with a planned visit to the Gaza Strip, probably in June, and would also go to the West Bank, despite pressure from Washington to delay the trip.
The Obama administration is concerned Erdogan's visit to the Palestinian enclave might endanger U.S. efforts to revive Turkey's ties with Israel and to advance Middle East peace talks. Erdogan he hoped his visit would promote peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

С применением соответствующих таблиц стилей.
Назовите плюсы и минусы первого и второго способа
A: Это жесткий вопрос вида: "Что лучше: Windows или Linux?".
У таблиц HTML целевое назначение - это разметка собственно таблиц (курсы валют, расписание самолетов и поездов, турнирная статистика и т.п.), а у элементов div - разметка блоков (div - от слова division, разделение). Но если по каким-то причинам удобнее использовать одно вместо другого это вполне допустимо.
Вообще нужно стремиться к соответствию между тэгами и содержимым тэгов: заголовки - в h, параграфы - в p, списки - в ul, таблицы - table и т.п.
A: Все, что здесь описали, без сомнения, имеет место быть, но:

*

*Блочная верстка (или верстка div'ами) часто используется большими проектами не потому что это модно, а потому что рендер страницы идет на порядок быстрее.

*Табличная верстка используется для предоставления статистических данных, а не как элемент контейнера.

Естественно, блочную и табличную верстку можно совмещать, такой тип называется смешанным.
В чем же выигрывает верстка дивами? Представьте, что у вас, скажем, новостной портал, где выведено 100 последних новостей в колонку:
Верстка таблицей в данном случае сильно тормозит работу браузера, потому что ни один браузер не выведет таблицу ДО ее полной загрузки т.е. от table до /table.
Если же верстка была бы на дивах, то загрузка документа и его рендеринг осуществлялись бы "параллельно" - элемент за элементом.
Что именно использовать Вам - решать только Вам. Но эти плюсы и минусы - это главное отличие.
A: Яйцо или курица. )) Sun или Microsoft? =)) Прошу прощения. )
Артём, используйте то, что Вам более удобно и не заморачивайтесь на таких мелочах. Что касаемо меня, сам каркас стараюсь делать в дивах, уж не знаю почему... удобней так. Таблицы использую реже, в тех случаях, когда надо, чтоб всё было ровненько и лень прописывать стили для div-ов. Вот собсна и всё. )

"The main job of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs is to maximize opportunities for the self-fulfilment of young people in our country and help them in the activities that are now in demand. The participation of young people in such major international events helps to achieve this goal", Rosmolodezh Director Alexander Bugayev said.
Leading scientists from the Kurchatov Institute Research Center will hold lectures on the environmental and radiation situation in the region, the processing and recycling of municipal solid waste, bioenergy, and life-support technologies, among other things.
The Mentor Lounge will be open to students, entrepreneurs, and specialists at the Rosmolodezh booth over the entire duration of the Forum. Experienced mentors will help diagnose problems faced by young entrepreneurs and find solutions for business.

The 'Arctic: Territory of Dialogue' International Arctic Forum is one of the key platforms for the discussion, at a global level, of problems and prospects for the Arctic region. The Forum is an opportunity for members of the international community to pool their efforts to ensure the efficient development of the Arctic and higher living standards for populations living in Arctic territories. The 'Arctic: Territory of Dialogue' Forum was first held in 2010 and was devoted to contemporary problems of the Arctic region. The second forum was held in 2011 and focused on issues of developing transport systems in the Arctic. In 2013the key themes considered included environmental protection, while in 2017 the Forum's theme was 'People and the Arctic'. The key theme of the forthcoming 5th International Arctic Forum will be 'The Arctic: An Ocean of Opportunity'. Three pillars will form the basis of the business programme: 'Coastal Regions', 'The Open Ocean', and 'Sustainable Development'.

So with the film announced the question on every fan's mind is "Who is the Last Jedi?" Here at 8Ball we have mulled it over and we've come up with a few options.
It's an obvious one but it's often stated that Luke is the last Jedi. After the death of Yoda and Obi Wan there are no more real Jedi, sure Kylo and Snoke are force users, but they have succumbed to the Dark Side. To further add to the evidence, the title crawl for The Force Awakens even goes as far as to call Luke the Last Jedi directly. In the current state of the galaxy, he is the only person we can say for sure is a Jedi.
2: Rey is the Last Jedi.
Rey is strong in the force, this much is obvious. She can resist mind probes, lightsaber fight with the best of them and she can convince Daniel Craig to do things. She ends up with Luke and the assumption is that he will train her to use her powers, thus becoming a Jedi. While Luke is around she won't be the last one, but if something bad were to happen to him, then she is ready to step up to the title.
3: It's a plural thing, they are both the last Jedi.
The plural of Jedi is still Jedi, so the title could refer to a group of space wizards and not just one of them. Maybe the last Jedi refers to both Rey and Luke. Together they are the Last Jedi.
4: Kylo Ren is the last Jedi... kinda.
It was mentioned in an interview with JJ Abrams that Kylo Ren is not a Sith. He wants to go to the Dark side and is being tutored to do so by the powerful Supreme Leader Snoke. However, in the movie he still confesses that he feels the pull of the light. He was trained by Luke to be a Jedi so there is an argument that until he becomes a Sith he is still a Jedi. If Luke kicks the bucket before training Rey, then Kylo could be the last Jedi.
There is always the possibility that we haven't been introduced to the last Jedi yet. There are still two movies left to see and some grand space quests to go on and we don't know what the story is. When Luke went into exile he went looking for the lost Jedi temple. Perhaps he found something out and now needs to find the Last Jedi (either singular or plural).
There is always a lot of talk of the different sides of the force and the Jedi hold stock in a prophecy to bring balance to it. As the prophecy tends to be based around a single person bringing balance, that person would have to have equal parts light and dark side. A person in balance would neither be true Jedi or proper Sith. Perhaps it's the last Jedi not because they are wiped out, but because they evolve into something else.
It's worth noting that the Star Wars movies titles are generally not that cryptic. Clones attack, The Empire does indeed strike back and a Jedi returns. So it's likely that Occam's razor is in effect and it's talking about Luke or Rey. Still, JJ may still throw us a curveball for fun.
While it's a long time until December, keep the Star Wars spirit alive with our great range of Star Wars shirts.

Author: Graham Robson
Publisher: Herridge & Sons Ltd.
Historian Graham Robson tackles the story of Ford's emergence during the 1960s as a leader in international saloon car competition beginning with the Mark 1 Cortina in 1962.
The career of every works Mark I and Mark II Cortina, Lotus-Cortina, Capri, and Corsair is individually recounted in Works Cortina, Corsair & Capri In Detail, with contemporary action photographs and listings of events entered, results and drivers, and with accounts of performances in rallies and races.
Plus, there are specially commissioned color photographs of a number of surviving works cars, which have been shot in considerable detail. For fans of the race and rally Fords of these glory days, as well as for motor sport enthusiasts, this book is pure treasure.
After a varied career in the automotive industry, Graham Robson has gained a worldwide reputation as a motoring historian, and has more than 160 books to his credit. Born in 1936, and educated at Ermysteds Grammar School in Yorkshire, Graham then went on to study Engineering at Oxford University. He joined Jaguar Cars as a graduate trainee, becoming involved in design work on the Mk II, E-Type and Mark X. Beginning as a hobby, he became a rally co-driver, eventually joining the Sunbeam 'works' team in 1961, and took part in rallies up to International level (once with Roger Clark), but stopped rallying by 1968. During this time, he joined Standard-Triumph in Coventry, in 1961, as a Development Engineer, mainly on sports car projects. He then ran the re-opened 'works' motorsport department from 1962 to 1965, this being the period of the birth of Spitfire Le Mans cars, TR4, Vitesse, Spitfire and 2000 rally car developments. Graham Robson's writing began with rally reports for magazines which evolved into a job with Autocar from 1965 to 1969. He was recruited back to industry at Rootes to run the Product Proving department, then after a brief period in 1972 as technical director of a safety belt company, became an independent motoring writer. Graham has lived 'by the pen' and 'by the voice', not only writing but commentating, presenting and organising events of all types.

Q: Move window to the other worksapce not working after Upate Yesterday, after updating my Ubuntu GNOME 16.04, Shortcuts for moving windows not working.
When I press ctrl + alt + shift + up or ctrl + alt + shift + down the focused window does not move to the other worksapce. I reassigned shortcut form keyboard settings. and I noticed that I can not assign those keys anymore. I can assign something else for example ctrl + alt + up but ctrl + alt + shift can not be in a shortcut anymore.
Why this problem is happening? Is it something new with GNOME? or something went wrong after the update? How can I fix it?
my GNOME Shell version is 3.18.5.

2019 Pre Classic Men's Distance Preview: Centro Returns in a Stacked Bowerman Mile vs. Kejelcha, Cheruiyot, J. Ingebrigtsen & More
2019 Prefontaine Classic
View LetsRun.com event coverage
By Jonathan Gault
It's coming to us a little later than usual, and it's being held outside Hayward Field (RIP) for the first time ever, but the best part of the Prefontaine Classic has always been the stacked races. And that's not changing in 2019. As always, meet director Tom Jordan has assembled stellar fields up and down the schedule for Sunday's Prefontaine Classic, the IAAF Diamond League track and field meeting that will be held this year at the Cobb Track and Angell Field at Stanford University while a new track is built in Eugene, Oregon.
The fields are so good, in fact, that one preview isn't enough to talk about them all. We've broken our distance previews into separate men's and women's articles (you can read the women's article here), and we have another story coming that takes a look at the major storylines across the entire meet, including the Sha'Carri Richardson vs. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce showdown in the women's 100 plus young US sprint stars Michael Norman and Christian Coleman in the 400 and 100, respectively.
Starting Friday, we'll have boots-on-the-ground coverage from Stanford (it still seems weird not to be going to Eugene this year), where we'll have updates from the press conference on Saturday and on-site analysis and interviews from all the top races on Sunday. It's going to be an epic weekend.
So without further ado, let's dig in. There's no Distance Night this year, which means that we've only got two men's distance events: the 2-mile and the Bowerman Mile. The good news is that both of the fields are stacked. Here we go!

Why this race is a 2-mile and not a 3k or a 5k is totally beyond us, but the field is strong, so it should be a fun race to watch.
Barega prevailed over Chelimo at last year's Pre Classic
Of the three winners on the DL circuit so far this year, only Selemon Barega is present in this non-DL event (Yomif Kejelcha is running the Bowerman Mile, while Telahun Bekele is skipping the meet altogether). That makes him the favorite in our books, considering he won this race last year and dealt with a similar field in Oslo two weeks ago fairly easily.
Joshua Cheptegei may be the World XC champion, and he finished an impressive second in Oslo. But that race proved why Cheptegei will struggle to drop Barega at Pre: Cheptegei closed his final 1600 in 3:56.8 yet still lost to Barega by over a second. Cheptegei is an exceptional 10k man, but he just doesn't have the wheels to beat a guy like Barega at 2 miles.
One man who might is Hagos Gebrhiwet, who has three global medals at 5k and finished just one spot behind Barega in Shanghai and Rome this year. We're impressed that he's even at the meet as this is a non-DL event with no official prize money and he's an adidas athlete. We're also not ruling out Vincent Kibet, second in the mile in Oslo and winner of the 1500 in Rabat, who could be a threat in a tactical race. Likewise, 3:28 1500 man Ronald Kwemoi, who won the Bowerman Mile two years ago, is dangerous if (a big if) he's back to full health. Remember, Kwemoi is the guy who Renato Canova said in 2016 would 100% would win 5000 gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, but has struggled with injuries in recent years. This year he opened at 3:33.99 in Doha in early May and thus should be dangerous.
Paul Chelimo is America's best hope here, but he hasn't looked great so far in 2019, taking 12th in the 5k in Shanghai and 5th in the 10k in Oslo (where he missed the Worlds standard). Clearly, he has the talent, but he hasn't been up to his usual standard so far this year.
One other guy worth noting is Getaneh Molla. Yes, the same Getaneh Molla who set the course record by running 2:03:34 at the Dubai Marathon in January, putting him 10th on the all-time list. Very few guys run a 2:03 marathon and return to the track. In fact, Molla is the fastest marathoner to ever contest a race on the track — unless you count Moses Mosop, who ran a wind-aided 2:03:06 in Boston in 2011 and ran a 30k on the track at the Pre Classic six weeks later. Molla ran 12:59 in the DL final last year, so he's hardly out of his depth.
JG prediction: Barega should win this. We're interested to see if anyone tries to get the pace rolling. Barega doesn't have much incentive, but Cheptegei might be inclined to push it early. The American record is Matt Tegenkamp's 8:07.07 from 2007.

Kejelcha's WR indoors was the fastest mile since Webb in 2007
If this year's Bowerman Mile field feels familiar, that's because it should. Eleven of the 15 starters (not including pacers Harun Abda and Timothy Sein) return from the 2018 edition, won by Kenya's Timothy Cheruiyot. But it's one of the new additions, Yomif Kejelcha of Ethiopia and the Nike Oregon Project, that is arguably the most intriguing man in the field.
Kejelcha spent the winter trying to rewrite the record books, and the results were spectacular: a 3:48.46 mile at Millrose followed by a 3:47.01 world indoor record in Boston — the fastest mile, anywhere, since Alan Webb's 3:46.91 in 2007. He also spurred Samuel Tefera, also in this field, to a world indoor 1500 record of 3:31.04 in Birmingham.
But those races were billed as record attempts ahead of time; the goal was always time, not place. Kejelcha's camp has made no such proclamations about Sunday's race, which is Kejelcha's first-ever Diamond League 1500/mile. The priority would seem to be on winning.
So Kejelcha faces a choice. Option A: repeat his indoor strategy, where he tries to run away from everyone and clock the fastest time possible. Or Option B: race it more conventionally and rely on his kick. You would think, as a 3k/5k guy coming down, that Option A is the best one here. I disagree. That choice is great when you're easily the best guy in the field, but that's not the case here: this field contains the top five in our 2018 world rankings, including Cheruiyot, who has won eight of his last nine DL 1500/miles.
We saw what happened when Kejelcha tried this indoors in Birmingham: Tefera sat on him and pulled away late to break the WR. None of the guys in this field have run 3:47.01 for the mile, but several of them have run the equivalent in the 1500 (roughly 3:30 or faster). If Kejelcha tries to break everyone from the gun, we'll probably see a bunch of fast times with someone kicking by Kejelcha in the home straight (though if everyone runs like they did in Stockholm, that may be enough for Kejelcha to win).
If I were Kejelcha, I'd employ Option B. Kejelcha has a strong kick — he closed in 53.2 to dust all the 5k guys in Shanghai last month. He just may have to employ it a little differently to prevail in a mile. Consider Cheruiyot and his training partner Elijah Manangoi, who have dominated the global 1500/mile scene over the last two years. Both men can kick, but they kick in different ways. Cheruiyot likes to go from farther out, often pushing hard at the bell or even before, with the goal of breaking everyone else by the time they reach the home straight. Manangoi, however, prefers to wait until the final 100 before unleashing his incredible top gear.
The world's top 5,000 runner might have trouble kicking away from the world's top milers over the final 100 or final 400. But what about the final 800? That just might be Kejelcha's best path to victory. It's close enough to the finish that Kejelcha should be able to sustain a hard move, but not so far out that he'd have to push the pace the entire way. Move to the lead with two to go, get the jump on someone like Cheruiyot (though that could be tough considering Cheruiyot usually goes straight to the front), and that could be enough to win.
We're sure that Alberto Salazar has his own plans for how he wants Kejelcha to run on Sunday, but his presence undeniably makes this race more interesting. Which is a good thing for an event that became very predictable down the stretch in 2018 as Cheruiyot began to dominate.
Of course, there's way more to this race than Yomif Kejelcha. Cheruiyot is back to defend his title, 18-year-old Jakob Ingebrigtsen continues his quest to earn his first Diamond League victory, and…oh yeah, some guy by the name of Centrowitz is racing.
The three years since his Olympic triumph in Rio have contained their fair share of frustration for Matthew Centrowitz. When fit, he's looked like his old self — a fifth US title at 1500 meters in 2018, followed by a 3:31 in Monaco and a 3:35 win in London two days later. But Centrowitz simply hasn't been fit that often, a series of injuries stifling his training. Is that why he has yet to race in 2019? Centrowitz has been mum on that front.
What remains unchanged is Centrowitz' status as America's most fascinating miler, especially after his decision to leave the Nike Oregon Project for the rival Bowerman Track Club — the track equivalent of leaving the Yankees to join the Red Sox (well assuming both teams has the same owner). How will Centrowitz look training under Jerry Schumacher? And, in the short term, how will he fare against his former teammates?
The race-within-a-race is one of the most exciting subplots of the 2019 Bowerman Mile. Each of the three US Nike-sponsored groups is trotting out their best miler(s) at Pre: Centro for Bowerman, Ben Blankenship for OTC, and Kejelcha, Craig Engels, and Clayton Murphy for NOP. Bragging rights are on the line.
JG prediction: If Kejelcha gets after it early, we could see some super fast times up front. We'll take the lanky Ethiopian for second, but given his history, we can't bet against Cheruiyot, who looked miles better than everyone else last time out in Stockholm.

What we need to learn about Environmental Science Studies? Hot Topics, Programs to stop Earth Environment from Degradation.
Environmental science is fundamentally cross-disciplinary in nature. No other science is enough deeply connected with our life of the widest cross section of people, viz-a-viz farmers, manufacturers, physicians, administrators, politicians, businessmen, students of all studies in the higher education such as architecture, medicine, public hygiene, forestry or pupils in the schools at all levels. People must be made aware of the deteriorating environment around our homes, hospitals, public places, water courses, theaters and about some of the wrongful human activity and lifestyle practices which have to change if we are to improve the quality of our environment and prevent our fast depleting natural resources, so vital to support life.
Why do we need to learn from Environmental Science Studies? We have promptly robbed off the global environment resources of fertile land, minerals, fossil fuels, air, water, wildlife, and biodiversities. We have an unflinching belief that only schoolchildren have a constructive role in improving our environment, which they could only do if they know about environmental principles, perspectives and issues and the causes of environmental.
The most important topic is Earth environment Degradation. Lots of programs have started with the possible means and ways to restore environmental quality that out factories, industries, chemicals are spoiling. We must not hesitate to believe that the wealth of the environment does not belong to only one region or country but to the people of whole earth and future generations also. Every citizen and every disciple need to play a role in improving the health status of the environment and also who must be informed of the present state of our environment of which we are now more accountable than ever before.
Lots of programs to save environment has been started from school level which enlightens the students about global efforts through international summits, like the 'Earth Summit', 'Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change', 'Kyoto Protocol', 'Montreal Protocol' which are additional pieces of information to enrich their knowledge.
Human beings are fairly responsible and that there is a need to protect and preserve the quality of our natural resources both for the present generation and as trustees of the future generations. Some responsibilities need to be taken on the shoulders for the future generation so that they can live healthful life in the environment.
