Unusual reversibility of molecular break-up of PAHs: the case of pentacene dehydrogenation on Ir(111)
The chemical reactivity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as pentacene, a molecule consisting of five linearly-fused benzene rings, has received extensive attention since it is an active semiconducting material with a very high charge-carrier mobility. Pentacene is considered a benchmark organic semiconductor for electronic devices, given its long history as an essential component in molecular and organic electronics. However, the majority of applications of pentacene relies on crystalline frameworks or molecular nanocrystals, whereas the p-conjugated electronic structure with relatively small HOMO–LUMO gap and the relatively high carrier mobility makes pentacene interesting even in the isolated form. Furthermore, there is a high potential for energy gap manipulation upon controlled hydrogen removal, since the bandgap of hydrogenated sp2-hybridized carbon-based compounds tends to become smaller upon dehydrogenation.
In the first step of our study the room temperature adsorption of pentacene on Ir(111) was investigated. Figure 1 reports the C 1s core level measured at the SuperESCA beamline via high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) after the deposition of 0.75 ML of pentacene. We were able to discriminate the different contributions to the overall spectrum stemming from each C atom of the pentacene molecule. The histogram shows the distribution of the calculated core-electron binding energy obtained via density functional theory. Subsequently, the process of dehydrogenation was investigated. Whilst room temperature adsorption preserves the molecular structure of the five benzene rings and the bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms, we found that complete C–H molecular break up takes place between 450 K and 550 K, eventually resulting in the formation of small graphene islands at temperatures higher than 800 K. The experiments reveal that the dehydrogenation process is compatible with a double reaction barrier. The first and lower barrier (1.12 eV) is in very good agreement with the results of DFT calculations (1.11 eV), while the second barrier (1.86 eV) that has to be overcome for complete C–H dissociation represents the rate determining step of the overall process.
Figure 1. (a) High-resolution C 1s spectrum obtained with photon energy hν = 400 eV after deposition of 0.75 ML of pentacene. The histogram shows the distribution of the calculated binding energies, and the color scale of the histogram reflects the color scale for the ball model shown in part (b) of the image. (b) Results of the DFT calculations for the C 1s binding energies for all the carbon atoms in the relaxed pentacene molecule.
Figure 2 shows Temperature Programmed-XPS spectra of C 1s during exposure to molecular hydrogen and thermal annealing. Remarkably, the pristine pentacene adlayer after dehydrogenation can be re-hydrogenated by simply cooling the sample in a hydrogen atmosphere (p = 5´10-7mbar). The detected reversible reaction appears quite special, since the edge carbon atoms do not bind so strongly to Ir atoms due to the geometry of the adsorbed C22 nanocluster.
Figure 1. (a) Left – A C 1s TP-XPS experiment performed with photon energy hν = 400 eV for 0.3 ML of pentacene at 0.25 K/s, while exposing the system to H2. When the annealing ramp is ended at 520 K and the sample rapidly quenched to 420 K, the C 1s spectra mostly return to the original lineshape (dark gray curve). (b) Several sequential plots of the coverage of pentacene (black) and dissociated pentacene (gray) during 3 dehydrogenation/rehydrogenation cycles, the first of which is shown in (a).
This peculiarity can be exploited to lay the foundations of C-nanoclusters engineering or to produce polyacenes, via on-surface synthesis, as shown for example in the case of nanoacenes. The outcome of this study could help for understanding the fundamental properties of graphene nano-ribbons (GNRs), which so far have been prevalently synthesized in a hydrogen capped form. GNRs may also have interesting higher electron/hole mobilities and better thermal transport when dehydrogenated: hence this reaction also has interesting technological applications related to the potential importance of thermal switching capabilities of nanoribbons. In closing, the process of hydrogenation/dehydrogenation of pentacene has more general implications in heterogeneous catalysis and in astrophysics, since the zig-zag edges in GNRs show strong signatures that have been detected in astronomical infrared spectra. These objects could play, as for other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, an important role in the formation of H2, the most abundant molecule of the universe.

Dutch greenhouses remain empty because of high gas price
"We cannot grow for this"
"We cannot grow for this," Dutch growers warn as they suffer under the rising gas prices. Yesterday, the Dutch price of gas crossed the unprecedented €1/m3 mark. According to Alexander Formsma with Dutch industry body Glastuinbouw Nederland, greenhouses will remain empty, and growers do not know when they will be planting again. "We are in an energy crisis and nothing is happening," he says. Glastuinbouw Nederland is forming a crisis team this week with the greenhouse horticulture sector to look for possible solutions. "The sector is being hit hard and it can only get worse. The Netherlands is facing unprecedented challenges and the government remains silent." They want the government to substantially reduce gas prices.
In Dutch newspaper Telegraaf grower Leo van der Lans reveals he adjusted his growing plans, using less gas because of the high gas prices. Like most greenhouse growers, Van der Lans uses gas in his CHP to generate electricity to heat and light his tomatoes under glass. "Gas is about 25% of my total costs," Van der Lans calculates. "This time last year, a cubic metre of gas cost between 15 to 20 cents, and now the daily price is well over a euro. At that price, you lose money; you can't grow for that. I have bought 60 to 70% of my gas at a fixed price. I am only going to use that part, which means less lighting. The expectation is that we will then also achieve about 70% of normal production."
The exact extent of the cost increase due to the gas price differs from company to company. Companies with fixed supply contracts are better off than companies that have to pay the daily price. Last year, the daily price for natural gas dropped to an extremely low level of 5 cents per cubic metre. Many growers chose to stick with the daily price at the time; after all, the fixed price was higher, at around 15 cents. However, growers now have to spend much more money on energy also, because electricity and oil prices are rising too.
This week, Glastuinbouw Nederland is setting up a 'greenhouse crisis team'. The composition of a crisis council is similar to the approach of the Covid pandemic in March 2020. This crisis team will follow the impact of high energy prices on companies extensively, and monitor which actions can be taken. In addition to organizations in the greenhouse horticulture sector, parties with expertise in the fields of energy, cultivation technology, and finance may also be involved in the consultation.
To ensure the crisis is given enough attention, they are currently matching growers with regional newspapers to share what is going on, for example in the Dutch Financial Times, where rose grower Bram Termeulen explains his dilemma. If he leaves his greenhouses in the horticultural area around Almere Buiten empty, he might lose customers, but if he starts a new crop, he will grow at a loss. He cannot possibly charge his customers extra because of the sky-high gas prices.
He is not the only grower with this dilemma. "Because supermarkets want Dutch products on the shelves, we have invested a lot in growing cucumbers all year round in recent years," says cucumber grower Jan Biemans. "But if we do that now, it becomes €2 more expensive per m2 per week than last year in the winter months. Moreover, some supermarkets have already indicated that they might bring cucumbers back from Spain if they become too expensive here."
"Working with a high grow price and a low selling price is not practicable for long. After all, if an entrepreneur cannot make a profit, they have no financial surety and security," says Cees Ruhe, chairman of the industry body for Drenthe and Groningen. He explains how the higher gas price will lead to higher prices for fruits, vegetables and flowers, yet growers who raise the prices of their products could run the risk of supermarkets choosing not to buy flowers or cucumbers locally anymore, but to buy them from, for example, Spain. However, he does not think it will go that far. "It is possible, but then the products must also be available in Spain," he nuances. Ruhé thinks that the effects will only be felt when the gas price is high for a longer period of time. "That's when things start to move."
According to Alexander Formsma, the high energy prices make it clear once again that energy transition is the only real solution in the long run. "But for the short term, the current energy prices don't offer a way out. This winter is going to hurt, unfortunately, and that's not going to help anyone. Dutch growers are already well on their way to transitioning to a sustainable energy supply. However, because of the extra energy costs, they have nothing left to spend on sustainable alternatives to gas this year."
This week Agriculture Minister Carola Schouten said on national television that the gas price is very high for everyone and she cannot make an exception for greenhouse growers. "We must ensure that the switch to electricity pays off. And that's what we're doing now."
She is referring to the €125 million set aside in the national budget to support sectors affected by alternated government subsidy ODE (a subsidy for sustainable energy), specifically for disproportionately affected sectors such as the horticultural industry. In an earlier reaction, the Netherlands Greenhouse Horticulture Association said it was pleased about this, but that it would like to critically examine how it is implemented. Alexander added that any solution to the ODE issue would not alleviate the current difficult situation. "That offers opportunities for the longer term, but with the crisis team we have to work on solutions for the very short term."

In this sermon, Vijay continues with his 'foundation' series looking at the spiritual discipline of confession. He explains that in confession we admit our deepest failures, weakness and sins to God and to trusted individuals in the Body of Christ. The purpose of this regular discipline is that we might experience God's grace, forgiveness and healing.

Bolidengruvan är en numera nedlagd guld- och koppargruva i närheten av Boliden i Skellefteå kommun, Västerbotten. Efter flera års prospektering i Norrland hittades i början av 1920-talet ett värdefullt malmområde i det sulfidmalmsrika område som bildar Skelleftefältet.

År 1924 sålde änkan Margareta Lundberg Fågelmyren till ett företag som började bryta malm i ett dagbrott; detta var grunden till det berömda gruvföretaget Boliden AB. Så småningom övergick man till underjordsbrytning. Produktionsmetoden var takbrytning med igensättning.

Malmen i Bolidengruvan är känd för sin höga guldhalt. I genomsnitt utvanns 15 gram guld per ton malm. Sammanlagt producerades 128 ton guld. Guldet var främst knutet till arsenikkis som gruvan var väldigt rik på. Den höga halten av arsenik gjorde att företaget valde att smälta ner malmen istället för att anrika den mekaniskt. Arsenikhalten medförde både stora tekniska problem och miljöproblem. Biprodukten  arsenik lagrades länge innan man kom på att göra impregneringsmedel av arseniken. Gruvan har gett även andra metaller. Under andra världskriget framställdes aluminium i Sundsvall ur andalusit från Boliden under åren 1942 till 1947.

Gruvdriften i själva Bolidengruvan upphörde 1967. Anrikningsverket är dock fortfarande i drift, som ligger i anslutning till tätorten Boliden,  med malm från andra gruvor i Skelleftefältet, till exempel Renströmsgruvan.

It's hard to escape the fact that drummer Robert Dylan Thomas had to quit The Maccabees in 2008 to enter rehab. Since then, he's been drumming with various collaborators including appearing on 'Later With Jools Holland' with The Agitator. Now stepping up in a General Grime solo guise, with a debut EP scheduled to drop later this year, Thomas continues on a redemptive musical journey.
As original drummer for The Maccabees, he also contributed songwriting-wise, most notably with 'Is Tomorrow Worth Tonight?' where he was also lead vocalist. Its languid style transforms into something more galloping, a trend continued on 'Make It Last'. The latest track has odes to his former band as well as the raw, ramshackle nature of early Jamie T. We're hoping to hear more lo-fi anthems from Thomas soon.

Wow: Our Lady of Lourdes grade 6 pupil Kaelan Garrigan playing a lead role in their performance at the eisteddfod. Picture: Brodie Weeding.
The final week of the Devonport Eisteddfod has come alive with school groups taking to the stage.
Monday featured a range of vocal and instrumental sections.
Our Lady of Lourdes competed in the entertainment section and chose to create a royal variety show. Kaelan Garrigan played Reverend Curry from the royal wedding early this year.
"I just talked about falling in love. It felt really exciting and exhilarating to be on stage. It was heaps of fun. I really loved it," he said.
Kaelan said he was determined not to let nerves get in the way and took deep breaths to help fight them off.
Eisteddfod president Gillian Buxton said she was very impressed with the enthusiasm shown on stage from all competitors.
"Everyone seems to want to come and get on stage and it takes competitors to the next step. I think young people still want to perform in front of a live audience, there's nothing like it," she said.

Deeply unpopular Trump threatens to campaign with loyalists like Rep. Mimi Walters
Rep. Mimi Walters — (CQ Roll Call via AP Images)
By siding with Donald Trump over the wishes of her constituents, an unpopular Trump may hit the campaign trail for the embattled Rep. Mimi Walters.
By	Dan Desai Martin
Even though her district voted for Hillary Clinton, Rep. Mimi Walters (R-Orange County) has thrown her wholehearted support to Donald Trump. No matter how unpopular a piece of legislation may be in Orange County, if Trump wants it done, he can count on Walters.
The major legislative initiatives of 2017 — health care repeal and a tax bill — were deeply unpopular in Walters' home state.
Walters voted for every Republican version of repealing the Affordable Care Act despite the fact that a strong majority of Californians (58 percent) would prefer Republicans working with Democrats to fix the ACA.
When Trump wanted a win on a tax bill, Walters turned her back on Californians to champion a bill that would raise taxes on working-class Californians while lavishing billions of dollars in tax cuts on wealthy heiresses like Paris Hilton.
While the rest of the public waits for special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Trump's involvement with Russia during the 2016 campaign, and any possible cover-up, Walters already has her mind made up. Walters has decided that impeaching Trump is absolutely not an option, no matter what comes from the investigation.
"If the Democrats win the House they will start impeachment proceedings on Donald Trump," Walters said. "They're already talking about it, that is one of the reasons why we need to be sure that we maintain the majority."
That is an incredible amount of loyalty to Trump, and he may seek to reward her for such loyalty.
In a recent interview with Reuters, Trump declared that he would campaign, "probably four or five days a week," to help Republicans get elected. Trump indicated that he "would likely focus on the November general election in which Democrats are trying to wrest control of Congress from the Republicans."
If that is the case, then Walters is a prime candidate for a visit from Air Force One.
Walters is often named as one of the top Republican targets as Democrats hope to retake control of the House. Seven candidates have already filed for the chance to unseat Walters, raising a combined $2 million compared to $1.5 million raised by Walters.
If Trump comes to campaign for Walters, as an act of appreciation for all that Walters has done for the Trump agenda, his presence might not be all that helpful.
Trump's approval rating in California hovers around 28 percent, which is abysmal. Perhaps this is why Trump became the first president since Dwight D. Eisenhower to avoid visiting America's most populous state during his first year in office.
But in some southern California congressional districts, Trump is polling higher than Republican incumbents.
Both Reps. Steve Knight and Dana Rohrabacher are less popular than an unpopular Trump in their respective districts.
Walters has placed her full faith in the Trump agenda, willing to go against the wishes of her constituents in order to help Trump in any way she can.
Whether Trump visits or not, voters who rejected Trump in 2016 will have to decide if Walters continues to be the best option to represent their interests when they go to the polls in November.

Yeah, it was more to the north than normally. Air France and British Airways seem to be avoiding Ukraine for some time before this happened.

It has not been a nice region for a very, very long time.
I would say it has never been a nice region. There are, of course, incredibly kind and intelligent people there, as there are everywhere, but the region has not been a peaceful place ever since humans moved there. Theories abound as to why; personally I favor the geography and climate explanations, but who knows.

At over 140 miles long and up to 220 miles wide, Lake Kariba is (by volume) the largest artificial lake and reservoir in the world. It is located about halfway between the source and the mouth of the Zambezi River along the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. With a shoreline of over 2000 km, it is easy to mistake it for an inland sea.
Home to a number of islands (some with permanent lodges), there is a fantastic range of experiences to be enjoyed both on the water and on land.
Exploring the lake, its creeks and inlets and discovering its inhabitants is easiest (and most popular) on a live-aboard houseboat. Fully staffed vessels (across all pricing categories) ensure that everything is taken care of while the visitor need only focus on relaxation and immersing themselves in the changing scenery.
Up-close-and-personal game viewing opportunities abound. From the water (whether from a houseboat or a canoe) visitors get a birds-eye view of the animals coming in to shore for a drink, and with the lake being adjacent to the Matusadona National Park, another dimension is added with game drive and walking safari excursions into the Park.
Lake Kariba is especially popular amongst anglers (amateurs and professionals) thanks to its world-wide reputation for superb fishing experiences, most notably for tiger fishing enthusiasts.
The largest body of water in Zimbabwe.
2,000 km of shoreline to explore.

Wyoming Invited to Famous Idaho Potato Bowl to Play Kent State
(UW Sports Information)
December 6th, 2021 | University of Wyoming Sports Information
Laramie, Wyo. (Dec. 5, 2021) — The Wyoming Cowboys will once again be part of the college bowl season as they were invited to the 2021 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl on Sunday. The game will be played on Tuesday, Dec. 21 at Alberstons Stadium in Boise, Idaho, and is scheduled to kick off at 1:30 p.m., Mountain Time. Wyoming's opponent will be Kent State of the Mid-American Conference. The game will be televised on ESPN.
Ticket information to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl will be available online at GoWyo.com/tickets. Fans may order tickets by going online, by calling (307) 766-7220 or by going to the UW Athletics Ticket Office on the west side of the Arena-Auditorium.
The Matchup
The Cowboys will bring a 6-6 overall record into bowl season. Kent State will bring a 7-6 record into the game.
Wyoming and Kent State will be playing against each other for the first time in history. The two teams did play one common opponent this season in Northern Illinois. The Cowboys defeated NIU in DeKalb, Ill., on Sept. 11 by a score of 50-43. Kent State played Northern Illinois twice, losing a home game to the Huskies, 52-47, in the regular season and losing to them in the MAC Championship Game on Dec. 4 by a score of 41-23 in Detroit.
"We are very excited for another outstanding matchup at this year's Famous Idaho Potato Bowl and we are thrilled to put on a great event in front of fans once again," said Kevin McDonald, Executive Director of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. "We really enjoyed hosting Coach (Craig) Bohl and Wyoming in 2017 and can't wait to have the Cowboys and their fans back this year. Welcoming a team for the first time is always a unique experience, and we look forward to showing Kent State and their supporters the very best of Boise."
"On behalf of Cowboy Football, we are elated to be invited to play in this year's Famous Idaho Potato Bowl," said Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl. "Our team had a great experience in 2017 when we played in Boise. The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl staff and the Boise community do a great job of hosting the game and the events surrounding it. Our coaching staff and players are looking forward to the opportunity of playing together again this season.
"I know our fans remember the great experience they had back in 2017 at the bowl game, and we look forward to seeing them in Boise later this month.
"We know we will be playing a very good football team in Kent State, and we're excited for the challenge."
"We're excited for our players, coaches and fans that we have the opportunity to be playing in a bowl game again this year," said University of Wyoming Athletics Director Tom Burman. "We want to thank the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl committee for inviting us back after we enjoyed such a fantastic experience there in 2017.
"This is the fourth time that Coach Bohl and his staff has taken us to a bowl game, and for some of our players this will be the fourth bowl team they have been a part of, so we are happy our players get to cap off their careers in postseason play.
"In order to get the best tickets available, we encourage our fans to purchase their tickets through our University of Wyoming Athletics Ticket Office, and we'll see you in Boise on Dec. 21."
A First in Wyoming History
This year's bowl invitation marks the fourth time in six seasons that Wyoming has earned a bowl bid. That is a first in the 125-year history of Cowboy Football. The previous best for the Wyoming Football program was four bowl game appearances in seven seasons from 1987 to 1993.
A Coaching First
Head coach Craig Bohl becomes the first head coach in Wyoming Football history to take four Cowboy teams to bowl games. Bohl was previously tied with UW Athletics Hall of Fame Coach Paul Roach, with both coaches having taken three Wyoming teams to bowl games.
Bohl will be seeking his third bowl victory as Wyoming's head coach. He already holds the Wyoming record for bowl wins as a head coach, with two bowl victories in the 2017 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl and the 2019 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl.
Pokes Seeking a Third Consecutive Bowl Win
UW is seeking its third consecutive bowl victory. The Pokes won the 2017 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl over Central Michigan by a score of 37-14, and captured a 38-17 victory over Georgia State in the 2019 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl.
This year's appearance will be Wyoming's 17th bowl appearance in history. The Cowboys are 8-8 overall in bowl games.
2021 Wyoming Cowboys Played a Schedule That Included Eight Teams Who Have Earned Postseason Berths, Cowboys Defeated Two Conference Champions
Wyoming's 12-game regular-season schedule this season featured eight teams who will be participating in postseason play this year and seven teams who will be participating in bowl games. UW posted a 4-4 record against those eight teams, including wins over: Mountain West Conference Champion Utah State, Mid-Amercian Conference Champion Northern Illinois, Ball State of the Mid-American Conference and Montana State, who is the No. 8 seed in this year's FCS National Playoffs. The four postseason teams that Wyoming lost to this season were: Air Force, Boise State, Fresno State and Hawai'i.
Wyoming Defensive Highlights
The Cowboys feature one of the top defenses in the country. UW's defense ranks No. 7 in the nation in pass defense and No. 36 out of 130 FBS teams in both scoring defense and total defense. That defense is led by All-America candidate at linebacker Chad Muma and All-Conference performers C.J. Coldon (cornerback), Garrett Crall (defensive end), Easton Gibbs (linebacker), Cole Godbout (nose tackle) and Azizi Hearn (cornerback).
Wyoming Offensive Highlights
On offense, Wyoming's rushing attack was once again at the forefront, ranking 30th in the nation (195.1 yards per game). The offense features All-Conference players: Xazavian Valladay and Titus Swen both at running back, offensive linemen Keegan Cryder, Logan Harris and Frank Crum and wide receiver Isaiah Neyor.

The discovery of yet another period of interbreeding between early humans and Neanderthals is adding to the growing sense that sexual encounters among different ancient human species were commonplace throughout their history.
"As more early modern humans and archaic humans are found and sequenced, we're going to see many more instances of interbreeding," says Sergi Castellano, a population geneticist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. His team discovered the latest example, which they believe occurred around 100,000 years ago, by analysing traces of Homo sapiens DNA in a Neanderthal genome extracted from a toe bone found in a cave in Siberia.
"There is this joke in the population genetics community — there's always one more interbreeding event," Castellano says. So before researchers discover the next one, here's a rundown of the interbreeding episodes that they have already deduced from studies of ancient DNA.
The latest discovery has emerged from a re-analysis of the genome of a female Neanderthal. Her genome sequence — which is much more accurate and complete than those obtained from other Neanderthal samples — contains stretches of Homo sapiens DNA, owing to encounters that may have happened in the Middle East.
Reporting their work in Nature1, Castellano and his team propose that around 100,000 years ago, her ancestors — a small population of Neanderthals migrating from Europe to Asia — encountered a very early wave of Homo sapiens leaving Africa. The identity of these early modern humans is a mystery. But roughly 100,000-year-old remains of Homo sapiens have been found in the Skhul and Qafzeh caves in Israel, and similarly ancient human teeth have been found in a cave in southern China. Either set of remains could represent the humans who made an early trek out of Africa; it is not clear whether this population has living descendants today.
The first conclusive evidence that humans and Neanderthals mated came from analysing a draft Neanderthal genome, which was gleaned largely from remains found in Croatia. As a result of these encounters, humans from outside Africa carry traces of Neanderthal DNA — about 1–2% of their genomes. The two populations may have met in the Middle East 50,000 to 60,000 years ago, as humans leaving Africa encountered resident Neanderthals.
They may have also interbred more recently in Eastern Europe: DNA from a 40,000-year-old human skeleton from Romania suggests the individual may have had a Neanderthal great-great grandparent. Meanwhile, some researchers contend that the ancestors of East Asians had a second Neanderthal affair, leaving them with slightly more Neanderthal heritage than Europeans have.
Neanderthals weren't the only ancient group to interbreed with humans. Denisovans, a group discovered from remains in a cave near southern Siberia's Altai Mountains, may have once lived all across Asia, giving them ample opportunity to interbreed with humans there. People from Papua New Guinea and elsewhere in Oceania carry fragments of Denisovan DNA, as do East Asians. Some of these sequences have proved helpful to humans: gene variants that help Tibetans to cope with altitude may have been inherited from Denisovans.
Neanderthals and Denisovans — both of which lived in Denisova Cave at various points — also interbred, probably in Asia more than 50,000 years ago. Scientists know little about this encounter, but it may have endowed Denisovans with immune-system genes from Neanderthals.
The most mysterious interbreeding episode of all involves Denisovans and a ghost population of hominins that may have left Africa some million years ago. The mystery species could be an Asian offshoot of Homo erectus, which lived in Indonesia, perhaps as recently as 100,000 years ago, or possibly even relatives of Homo floresiensis, the 'hobbit' species discovered more than a decade ago on an Indonesian island.
"We're looking at a Lord of the Rings-type world — that there were many hominid populations," one evolutionary geneticist told Nature when the findings were presented at a conference in 2013.

What Are the Safety Precautions for Tennis?
Tennis is a fascinating sport, often considered the "gentleman's game" because it requires individuals to master various skills. It offers entertainment and competition in equal parts, providing many hours of fun and exercise for people of all ages. However, playing this game also entails hazards that should be considered before playing the sport or becoming an instructor. This article will provide adequate information about the dangers and precautions that players should undertake to keep themselves safe and secure.
Injury Risks
The risk of injury in Tennis is high because the game involves a lot of physical activity that can put undue stress on the body. The most common injuries include sprained ankles, pulled muscles in the shoulder, back trouble and slipped discs in the spine. Injuries sustained in tennis are serious and require immediate medical attention to avoid complications. Whether you are playing or coaching tennis, ensure that you are wearing the right pair of shoes and using the appropriate attire which is essential to avoid any mishaps. Actively following the rules of tennis will prevent a lot of medical issues as well.
Although most beginners do not stretch after playing, they must stretch their muscles before and after a match-play. Stretching also improves muscle tone and flexibility, which is important for maintaining good form while playing. Experts at the United States tennis association recommend that tennis players should spend 5 minutes on stretching before and after play. A little stretching can go a long way in reducing muscle strain and painful muscle tears.
The TAA recommends players perform a full warm-up beforehand to loosen up the body. A warm-up includes aerobic activities such as cycling, jogging, skipping and rowing, which increases the heart rate and improves swiftness. It also prepares the body for physical activity by bringing blood flow to the muscles and stretching out stiff muscles. This increases your overall agility and makes you less prone to injury while playing.
The Right Body Movement
The correct movements in tennis are critical for a proper game of tennis. Refraining from bending the knees too much, allowing your hips to move as one rather than rotating your hips, and keeping your back straight are all important maneuvers. Players need to move their arms and shoulders in a smooth motion, resulting in the tennis ball being hit at a perfect height. Failure to remember the accurate form of tennis or enact haphazard shots may cause serious injuries.
Court Safety Rules
Faulty markings on indoor tennis courts and nets that are not repaired should be reported to the authorities. Many famous tennis facilities often have safety issues that go unnoticed. Issuing warnings to players who have a bad habit of running into the tennis net or their opponents is another way of keeping people safe on the court. According to the Tennis Association of America, players must keep a certain distance from the net when hitting the ball so they do not run into it. Even professional tennis players can avoid injury by stepping back after hitting the ball rather than running far for a shot that may end up with dual bounces.
Safety Tennis Gear
Although tennis is considered to be a gentleman's game, various safety gear is essential to avoid injuries while playing or training. The most important equipment required for a safe game includes the correct tennis balls, a racket, wristbands, knee pads and shoes. Tennis balls and a racket are essential to playing the sport irrespective of the level of competition. Wristbands can help prevent injuries because they absorb impact on contact with the ground and prevent sprained wrists. Knee pads are also important for preventing knee injuries because they absorb impact when falling. Most of the player's weight is handled by durable sneakers on the court that influence movements and provides traction.
Tennis rackets are used to hit the ball with power and accuracy. Different types of rackets include wood, composite and metal. The racket used for playing should be lightweight, strong and capable of hitting the ball at a high velocity without causing injury to the user or the opponent. It should have the right balance between strength and flexibility. In addition, the racket should be moisture-resistant which would prolong its life and reduce muscle strains.
Most tennis shoes come with an insole that provides a cushioning effect and is made of durable materials. This layer of cushioning is necessary for reducing stress on the legs and ankles. Players with issues of regular foot cramping should not play. Athletes with weak ankles must wear additional supportive bands. Tennis shoes also come with a shock-absorbing element that helps players feel less pain during long competitive matches.
Safety Tennis Balls
The correct tennis balls are also essential to the game. These balls will have a felt material around the outside, which is made of synthetic materials. The felt material gives extra bounce to the ball and helps players hit it with great velocity. The felt cover should be colored in white or yellow and has no markings that would hinder the ball's bounce or travel speed. It should be round in shape and can travel distances with ease which would make matches safer and more enthralling. Tennis balls ensure that players don't have to put extra effort into hitting a powerful shot which enables smoother and finer strokes. This makes it easier to prevents joint jolts and excessive muscle fatigue.
Wrist and Kneepads
Wrist and knee bracelets are another essential piece of equipment for any tennis player. The wrist and knee bracelets help absorb the shock generated from the fall when the player falls. The wristband, in particular, is designed to hold the sleeve of the racket, protecting it from being broken when hitting the ball. It also helps absorb contact with the ground and will not leave any dead spots on a player's arm or legs.
Safety gear includes socks for tennis players. The quality of the socks affects the player's performance. Tennis-oriented socks reduce blisters, friction and raise flexibility. Some socks have smooth seams and fit tightly while others are made of non-slip materials or offered with anti-microbial or anti-odor qualities.

Adrenalin is a very powerful stress hormone and it can be very beneficial. It is the reason why we have the speedy reflexes and strength to leap out of the way when we step in front of a speeding car or the sheer power to lift a heavy object when our child is trapped underneath.
But when the adrenals become unbalanced, it leads to anxiety. Common symptoms of anxiety are constant fear, frustration, irritability and feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. Anxiety can be quite debilitating and when extreme can lead to physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat and digestive disturbances. This is what is referred to as the fight or flight response that causes nervous exhaustion and leads to depression. In this reaction, the body is completely focused on the source of the stress and shuts down the energy production for all non-essential bodily reactions, such as digestion and fertility.
If symptoms of anxiety are bothersome and affect your daily activities, it is imperative to remove all substances that are stimulatory in nature, ie. alcohol, caffeine, processed foods and most important of all sugar and refined grains. Sugars, whether in pure form or in refined grains, can cause a thiamin (B1) deficiency. Thiamin deficiency mimics symptoms of anxiety and can make the condition appear much worse than it is.
Thiamin (B1) - This vitamin is important in energy production and for the proper maintenance of nerve and muscles. As such thiamin is beneficial for the heart muscle. Good sources of thiamin are asparagus, mushrooms, spinach, sunflower seeds, tuna and Brussels sprouts.
Niacin (B3) – Niacin is also important for energy conversion; it is the nutrient responsible for converting proteins, fats and carbohydrates into usable energy. Deficiency in this very important nutrient has been linked to depression and anxiety. Good sources of niacin are crimini mushrooms, tuna, salmon, chicken breasts and asparagus.
Vitamin B6 – B6 is an incredibly important nutrient for digestion and it is necessary for many functions which converts sugars and starches into energy. B6 is also important for the nervous system and supports many necessary activities, of particular importance is avoiding feelings of depression and anxiety. Good sources of B6 are bell peppers, spinach and tuna.
Vitamin B12 – vitamin B12 is an excellent blood builder and cell enhancer, particularly red blood cells and nerve cells. It is also helpful in metabolizing proteins, fats and carbohydrates and thereby converting foods to energy. Even more telling are the signs of deficiency; heart palpitation, nervousness and depression. Good sources of Vitamin B12 are sardines, snapper, beef and shrimp. There are no vegetarian sources of B12, vegetarians need to supplement this vitamin.
All B vitamins and B vitamin derivatives (Biotin, Folic Acid and Riboflavin) are important for the maintenance and development of the nervous system and should be consumed to avoid symptoms of anxiety.
Magnesium – This nutrient is the most important single nutrient recommended for relaxation. If the anxiety you feel affects your sleep or causes insomnia, this nutrient is a must. In addition to it's relaxation properties, it aids in the smooth functioning of the blood stream which will provide nutrients throughout the body. Good sources of magnesium are raw pumpkin seeds, boiled spinach and swiss chard (avoid excess cooking as this will degrade the magnesium content). For extreme cases of anxiety, nervousness and insomnia, supplement with magnesium in repeated doses throughout the day to retain the nutrient in the blood stream.
And lastly, relaxation techniques have been shown to be very beneficial in anxiety, as adherence to relaxation exercises alter brain waves in the devotee.
The most common relaxation techniques are yoga and meditation, both have CD's and DVD's readily available if you are weary of attending a class. The benefits of meditation are evident in as little as 15 minutes per day.
To enjoy anxiety-free good health eat a tuna, asparagus and spinach salad and participate in a daily relaxation program. Your effort will be well rewarded with good sleep and serenity.

Q: Show 'Loading...' screen in View while the model is initialized asynchronously I have a View Model where
protected override void Initialize()
{
    this.InnerViewModel.LoadInformation();

    this.IsInformationLoaded = true;
}

however, this.InnerViewModel.LoadInformation(); is very CPU and IO intensive operation. It may take a few seconds to complete.
The View of that model has binding to IsInformationLoaded to show a 'Loading...' screen.
My current implementation, as you can imagine, doesn't show the 'Loading...' screen, instead the UI is frozen until the operation is complete.
How do I change change the Initialize method, to make the LoadInformation asynchronous? Please bear in mind that InnerViewModel is also View-bound.
Edit:
The following works
protected override async void Initialize()
{
    await Task.Run(() =>
    {
        this.InnerViewModel.LoadInformation();
    });

    this.IsInformationLoaded = true;
}

// In InnerViewModel
public override void LoadInformation()
{
    Thread.Sleep(3000);

    Application.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
    {
        this.SomethingObservable.Clear();
        this.SomethingObservable.Add(...something ...);
    });
}

however I really want to get rid of Application.Current.Dispatcher, if possible. Or somehow move it into the Initialize(). I don't want the InnerModel to know anything about how it's being executed.

A:
Also, it would be best if InnerViewModel's LoadInformation doesn't know that it is being executed asynchronously and/or doesn't do any special handling about it. Is that possible?

In .NET Framework 4.5+ you can enable access to a data bound collection from a background thread by calling the BindingOperations.EnableCollectionSynchronization method, e.g.:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        DataContext = new WindowViewModel();
    }
}

public class WindowViewModel
{
    private readonly object _lock = new object();

    public ObservableCollection<string> Items { get; } = new ObservableCollection<string>();

    public WindowViewModel()
    {
        BindingOperations.EnableCollectionSynchronization(Items, _lock);
        Task.Run(() =>
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i)
            {
                Items.Add(i.ToString());
                Thread.Sleep(2000);
            }
        });
    }
}

<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"></ListBox>

The other option is to use the dispatcher to marshal the operations that access the data bound collection back to the UI thread:
Task.Run(() =>
            {
                for (int i = 0; i< 100; ++i)
                {
                    Application.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(new Action(() => Items.Add(i.ToString())));
                    Thread.Sleep(2000);
                }
            });

This kind of makes the method aware of the fact that it is indeed executing on a background thread though.

Slender-Tailed Meerkat
The meerkat or suricate, Suricata suricatta, is a small mammal belonging to the mongoose family. Meerkats live in all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, in much of the Namib Desert in Namibia and southwestern Angola, and in South Africa. A group of meerkats is called a "mob", "gang" or "clan". A meerkat clan often contains about 20 meerkats, but some super-families have 50 or more members. In captivity, meerkats have an average life span of 12–14 years, and about half this in the wild.
Meerkats are primarily insectivores, but also eat lizards, snakes, scorpions, spiders, plants, eggs, small mammals, millipedes, centipedes and, more rarely, small birds. Meerkats are immune to certain types of venom, including the very strong venom of the scorpions of the Kalahari Desert, unlike humans. They have no excess body fat stores, so foraging for food is a daily need.
Meerkats forage in a group with one "sentry" on guard watching for predators while the others search for food. Sentry duty is usually approximately an hour long. A meerkat can dig through a quantity of sand equal to its own weight in just seconds. Baby meerkats do not start foraging for food until they are about 1 month old, and do so by following an older member of the group who acts as the pup's tutor. The meerkat standing guard makes peeping sounds when all is well. If the meerkat spots danger, it barks loudly or whistles.
Meerkats are known for their daring diet: they are able to kill and eat venomous snakes and scorpions without being hurt, as they have become immune to the venom.
Able to survive without drinking water, meerkats get the moisture they need from eating roots and tubers as well as fruit such as tsama melons.
Meerkats are a type of mongoose and were once considered to be in the same taxonomic family as genets, civets, and linsangs. Now they are placed in their own family.
About Sarah & Nadria
Sarah and Nadria are sisters who arrived at CPZ in 2016 directly from the Greensboro Science Center in North Carolina. These two ladies are considered geriatric for their species and therefore receive extra attention from the zookeepers. But don't let the numbers fool you, these girls still have it in them and they show it by playing with enrichment items, digging burrows and occasionally hunting for wild birds.

It was framed there and carried out to the easel by a footman, Badar Azim, and the Queen's press secretary Ailsa Anderson, who brought a dignity to the moment that was remarkable, in the circumstances.

Carey, Harvey, Hill, Maloof and Siskel, Shepard
Carnival of Souls (Herk Harvey, 1962). The film begins with a car crash, the vehicle careening off a cliff into the murky drink. Though the authorities are unable to find the vehicle's female occupant (Candace Hilligoss), she eventually emerges, carrying no memory of how she survived. She proceeds with her plan, traveling to Utah for a job as a church organist. From there, writer-director Harvey, along with co-screenwriter John Clifford, comes up with downright ingenious ways to build scenes with unsettling layers with an obviously meager budget. The movie is ticklishly amusing given some of its more dated elements and amateurish acting, but it's also almost moving in its pure conviction, standing as a sterling example of unabashed independent filmmaking.
Foxy Brown (Jack Hill, 1974). Originally conceived as a sequel to the hit film Coffy, this scruffy revenge saga settles Pam Grier into yet another no-nonsense character with a spot-on name. Like a lot of films that hinge their stories on acts of retribution, there's a certain amount of laziness to it, relying so heavily on the primal appeal of the instinct that any attempts at nuanced motivation are set aside. Grier is blessed with charisma and hampered by a dearth of acting craft, compounding the sense of the film as a grinding, empty exercise. The film's primary merit is as a useful artifact of a certain sliver of American cinema, when the sudden swell of content freedom was applied with equal vigor to the aspirational art and the sputtering trash.
Finding Vivian Maier (John Maloof and Charlie Siskel, 2014). This documentary works incredibly well as a act of specific advocacy, but falters as nonfiction cinema. The likely culprit for the flawed execution is the direct involvement of Maloof in the creation of the film. He was the person who unearthed the treasure trove of the title figure's photographs, largely snapped while she was serving as the in-house help for a series of well-off Chicago families. Where the film could have used a touch of journalistic distance, Maloof keeps nudging it toward his own righteous passions about the established art world's reluctance to belatedly embrace Maier's work. It starts to play less like genuine concern about the artist getting a fair shake and more Maloof pitching a tantrum that the discovery hasn't played out to his full benefit. I'd wager Maloof's status as co-director is also instrumental in the film largely side-stepping the introduced notion that Maier would have despised her art being shared so freely after her death. It's an especially rich conflict to set aside, because Maier's photography, as selectively curated for the film, practically demands to be seen, earning favorable comparisons to masters of the art form such as Walker Evans and Rebecca Lepkoff.
Dom Hemingway (Richard Shepard, 2013). Maybe it's the specificity of the genre. Dom Hemingway proves there's a clear limit to how many films about comically colorful British gangsters the cinematic firmament can bear. The screenplay and direction, both by Richard Shepard, are soundly constructed, and Jude Law delivers admirable in precisely the sort of shift from sexy centerpiece to ragged character role that should be the prevailing course of his career from here on in. And yet it all feels drab and familiar, banging artistic pots that have made more notable noises in the hands of Martin McDonagh or even Guy Ritchie. The film does provide the blessed sight and sound of Khaleesi covering the Waterboys, and for that I will be eternally grateful.
The To Do List (Maggie Carey, 2013). Maybe there will eventually be an inclination to round up, just as is the current norm with loads of nineteen-eighties films aiming for laughs, but I suspect instead that retrospective surveys of comedies from the current era will take note of how many could have achieved greatness were there a little more discipline. The feature film debut of Carey cannily hit a slender mark, appropriating the tropes and rhythms of the dopey sex comedies of the eighties and nineties while simultaneously deconstructing and slyly mocking them. Aubrey Plaza stars as Brandy Klark, uptight valedictorian of her graduating high school class who decides she needs to catch up on her sexual experiences before diving into the deep pool of higher education. She approaches it with the same meticulous organization that earned her top grades. When the character is locked down, Plaza is quite good, showing how confusion and curiosity go hand in hand. But there's inconsistency across the board, including the outlook of her character, defined by awkward innocence one moment and barbed self-assurance worthy of April Ludgate the next. It's consistently amusing and just insightful enough to be disarming, but it also lets sloppiness undercut its smarts to a unfortunate degree.

Sanitary Sewer Permits are required for all activities performed on the sanitary sewer system, whether located within Town-owned property or within private property. These activities include the installation or repair of a private sanitary sewer house connection, street sewer, sewer trunk line, or any other activity involving the sanitary sewer system.
All contractors working on any portion of the sanitary sewer system, including sewer laterals, must have a town-issued Right-of-Way License, which requires a $5,000 bond and certificate of insurance. See the "Permit Requirements" page for additional details.
Sewer permits are issued only to Contractors licensed by the State of Connecticut for this type of work and not to individual property owners. Applicable state licenses include a P-1 Unlimited Plumbing / Piping License, W-9 Limited Plumbing-Piping Contractor's license, and P-7 Contractor-Limited to water, sewer, and storm lines. Permits are issued in the Engineering Division Office for a charge of $35.00.
Work performed on the sanitary sewer system without a Permit is in violation of the Code of Ordinances.
Any questions regarding the requirements or issuance of Sanitary Sewer Permits can be answered by calling the Engineering Division Office at (860) 652-7735.
The extent of the sanitary sewer system in Town is shown on the Sanitary Sewer Service Area map located in the Maps section of the Engineering Division Website. This information is also available on the Town's GIS web site. To find it in the GIS, type in the street name and property address for the property in question under the "Search" tab on the right side of the screen. The "Results" tab will then show information on file regarding the subject property and the map will zoom to the property in question. To view information regarding sewers in the area surrounding the property, select the "Layers" tab, and then click the check box next to "Water and Sewer". Sewers will be shown in brown (storm drainage systems will also be shown in green). Clicking on the "Infrastructure" layer checkbox is often helpful as well in order to show the location of streets, parking lots, buildings, etc.
The location of existing building sewer connections, or sewer laterals, is available on the "Sewer Lateral Tie Card", a copy of which can be obtained from the Engineering Division Office. This information is also available on the Town's GIS web site. Upon performing a search for a property by street name and address, the sewer tie card will be listed as a link under the "Hyperlink" section of the "Results" tab if the property is connected to the Town sanitary sewer.
The Water Pollution Control Authority (WCPA) authorized staff to update the Town's Master Sewer Plan, which was last completed in 1995 for the Roaring Brook watershed only. Prior to this there were three Master Plans which were prepared between 1976 and 1977 for the three major water sheds; Roaring Brook, Salmon Brook, and Hubbard Brook. Although the Roaring Brook plan was updated in 1995, plans for Salmon and Hubbard Brook watersheds were not updated. These plans outlined a broad sewer system program which generally provided for the construction of sewers along brooks and stream corridors throughout these watersheds. Since these plans were no longer considered viable long term solutions updating and consolidation of plans was recommended.
1. Consolidate and update to current standards and practices previous planning documents from the1970's.
2. Protect the rural nature of the Town while planning for the management of future wastewater needs.
3. Provide recommendations for the most economically sound and cost effective approach to wastewater disposal which are consistent with current Town and State Plans of Conservation Development, Town Planning and Zoning, wetland regulations, anticipated development and redevelopment and current engineering standards.
4. Identify future requirements for maintenance and replacement of an aging sanitary sewer system infrastructure.
5. Understand future needs and financial requirements for the WPCA as it relates to an aging infrastructure.
The 2017 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan recently accepted by the Water Pollution Control Authority is now available for download using the link below. Please note that it is approximately 100MB in size.

Recent Healthcare Data Breaches as of September 6, 2021
CHE Staff
Ransomware attacks tend to increase around holiday weekends, like Labor Day weekend. Here is a look at some recent healthcare data breaches.
During holiday weekends, like Labor Day, there tends to be an increase in ransomware attacks, the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warned. The agencies noted that these attacks have increasingly been taking place during holiday weekends, such as Mother's Day weekend, Memorial Day weekend, and the Fourth of July weekend.
From January 1 to July 31, 2021, there were 2,084 ransomware complaints, a 62% increase over the same time period a year earlier, and more than $16.8 million in losses, a 20% increase from the previous year.
In general, healthcare data breaches are on the rise, according to the 2021 Identity Breach Report. Compared with 2019, healthcare experienced a 51% increase in the total volume of records exposed.
Here is a look at some recent healthcare data breaches:
DuPage Medical Group. In August, the Illinois-based physician group notified 600,000 patients that their personal health information was exposed when the computer network was hacked in July, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Metro Infectious Disease Consultants. A breach of employee email accounts at the physician group that includes more than 100 infectious disease physicians in the Chicago area may have exposed data for 171,740 patients. The incidence was detected June 24. Patients' names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, medical data, and more may have been accessed.
Eskenazi Health. After a ransomware attack on its network, the Indianapolis-based hospital is notifying patients that some stolen data is being posted online. The attack happened on August 4, although the hospital did not reveal how many patients were affected.
Revere Health. After an email account of an employee at the Utah-based physician group was breached in June, about 12,000 medical records were exposed. Medical record numbers, birth dates, procedures, and provider and insurance provider names were all exposed, although they were not shared online.
Atlanta Allergy & Asthma. Almost 10,000 patients were informed in early August that a cyberattack in January had exposed names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, financial account numbers, diagnoses, and more. Since the attack, there have been no reports of fraud or use of the personal health information.
University Medical Center. The Las Vegas-based hospital reported to HHS that 1.3 million people were affected by a cyberattack. Personal data obtained in the attack was posted online. The attack took place in mid-June.
St. Joseph's/Candler. The Savannah-based hospital reported that 1.4 million individuals were affected by a data breach that occurred in June. However, while the activity was discovered June 17, the hacker had initially accessed the network as early as December 18, 2020. Names, Social Security numbers, addresses, financial details, and more were exposed.
University of New Mexico Health. The health system, based in Albuquerque, notified 637,252 patients that they may have been affected by the attack. The breach was discovered June 4, but the files were accessed May 2. The files contained patient names, addresses, medical record numbers, and more. Some Social Security numbers were exposed.


For the most part, we Americans value expertise. We want our physicians to possess knowledge and experience. We want our lawyers to know the law inside out. We want our clergymen, our engineers, our farmers to bring the kind of proficiency and skill to their work that comes only with familiarity and practice.
So here's a question. Why is it that the more expertise politicians' gain in their field, the more we deride them?
Politicians may disappoint us, frustrate us, or even anger us. They certainly make mistakes. But here's the thing: we cannot solve our problems at any level — local, state or federal — without skilled politicians. They're indispensable to the system. And the craft of politics requires certain characteristics. Not every politician possesses them, but the good ones — and there are plenty of good politicians — strive for them.
First, they're attuned to the moods of the people and to shifts in public opinion. They have faith in this country and its future, and they often hold a vision for what its success will look like. They believe it can make progress.
They also know that progress will not come easily. They understand they'll face setbacks, failure, and hardship, but they persevere in the American way of governing because it can make a lot of things possible. They are pragmatic, and prepared to adjust, compromise, and improvise in order to move policy in the direction they'd like to see it go.
They're comfortable holding authority and responsibility, and because they recognize that they share these burdens with others, they respect their colleagues. They try to be civil with them, since they understand the dynamic nature of politics — that you don't have permanent enemies or allies and that your foe one day may be a comrade the next.
Finally, good politicians understand that politics consists of a lot more than running for election. In the end, politics is about striving to make the world, or at least this country, better.
I don't want to suggest that I think all politicians possess these qualities, or that any politician enjoys them all. Yet these characteristics are what mastery of the craft demands, and they come only with time and experience. Any politician who displays them deserves the same respect we'd give any specialist who has acquired the knowledge, skill, and insight demanded by a complicated, demanding, and meaningful profession.
