Ethology, the study of animal behaviour. Although many naturalists have studied aspects of animal behaviour through the centuries, the modern science of ethology is usually considered to have arisen as a discrete discipline with the work in the 1920s of biologists Nikolaas Tinbergen of the Netherlands and Konrad Lorenz of Austria. Ethology is a combination of laboratory and field science, with strong ties to certain other disciplines—e.g., neuroanatomy, ecology, evolution. The ethologist is interested in the behavioral process rather than in a particular animal group and often studies one type of behaviour (e.g., aggression) in a number of unrelated animals.


I've started to play RTW II a couple of weeks ago... ok, the vanilla game is unbearable, we know it, but thankfully the Modders immediatly worked hard to give us a better version. Now I'm playing with Radious Mod, and it's definitely better.
But I was wondering... it is possible to work on the units to give us a more historically accurate experience? Just like... you know... remove those danged "African Pikemen" (yes, Loeb's translation error of "Lonchophoroi" still provides us monsters...) removing A LOT of "hoplite-like" Carthaginian troops and adding more thyreophoroi... adding mercenaries to the Carthaginan factions (e.d. Ligurian Infantry, Celtiberian Scutarii, ecc.) and basically modify some other factions troops.
but if anyone is interested I'll gladly help. I've seen that in Radious Mod new units were added, and even if some of them are great, others need a restyle (e.d. carthaginian infantry with corinthian helmet).

Q: how to store multiple dynamic edittext value in android I have multiple dynamic editTextBox. I want to know how can I store all its edit textbox value?
what should I write in all edit box that should be I want a store on button click event.
My code is below:
for(i = 0 ;i < 6; i++) {
   TableRow tr = new TableRow(this);
   TableRow tr1 = new TableRow(this);

   TextView tv1 = new TextView(this);
   editText1 = new EditText(this);
   editText1.setWidth(300);
   tr.addView(tv1);
   tbl.addView(tr);

   tr1.addView(editText1);
   tbl.addView(tr1);
}

A: Here is the code.
EditText[] editText1 = new EditText[6];

for(i = 0 ;i < 6; i++) {
   TableRow tr = new TableRow(this);
   TableRow tr1 = new TableRow(this);

   TextView tv1 = new TextView(this);
   editText1[i] = new EditText(this);
   editText1[i].setWidth(300);
   tr.addView(tv1);
   tbl.addView(tr);

   tr1.addView(editText1[i]);
   tbl.addView(tr1);
}

public void onClick(View v)
{
    for(int i=0;i<6;i++)
    {
        Log.i("----value of EditText:"+i,"."+editText1[i].getText().toString());
    }

}

A: A direct answer to your question would be:

*

*remember your textviews when you create them (add them to an ArrayList for example)

*the onPause() method of your activity is the place to retain any information you want available later (android framework can finish() your activity anytime when it's paused).

*in an overrided onPause() method, cycle through your ArrayList<TextView>, retrieve each TextView content and store them for later use. (If you have a fixed number of TextViews, you may consider using SharedPreferences, but take a look at the remainder of this article to see if something better suits your needs.

*You can then use onCreate() or onResume() method to repopulate your TextViews before your application shows up.
An indirect, possibly better, answer would be to separate data from UI by using a data management class that would handle saving restoring and modifying your data and a customized Adapter which would be responsible of filling the TextViews. This way you can easily change the later to address different widgets.

A: I wrote these codes without using editor, check it before using
String sValues="";
        for (int i = 0; i < tbl.getChildCount(); i++) {
            TableRow row =  (TableRow)tbl.getChildAt(i);
            for (int j = 0; j < row.getChildCount(); j++) {
                if(row.getChildAt(j) instanceof EditText){
                    EditText editText1 = (EditText)row.getChildAt(j);
                    sValues += editText1.getText().toString();
                }
            }
        }

Georgia gets allies in water wars legal fight
Gainesville, other cities, counties file brief arguing against water use cap sought by Florida
A deluge of counties and cities on Monday joined in the war for water among Georgia and Florida that centers on Lake Lanier and the Chattahoochee River basin.
Gainesville joined with the Atlanta Regional Commission, Forsyth, Gwinnett, DeKalb and Fulton counties and the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority in filing an amicus brief on Monday with the U.S. Supreme Court. It argues that Florida had not proved that tighter water-use restrictions on Georgians would benefit Florida residents.
Half of Atlanta's water supply comes from the Chattahoochee River, which feeds into Lake Lanier through the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River basin.
Florida is aiming for a cap on water consumption in Georgia, arguing that the resource is overused in the Peach State on its way to Florida and that the state's environment and oyster industry in the Gulf of Mexico are being damaged.
That argument was dealt a blow in February when a special master appointed by the Supreme Court, Maine lawyer Ralph Lancaster Jr., issued a 70-page opinion in Georgia's favor.
"Florida has failed to show that a consumption cap will afford adequate relief," Lancaster wrote.
Florida opposes Lancaster's conclusions and continues to argue that Georgia's water use is causing serious harm to residents and industries in Apalachicola Bay.
The brief filed on Monday by Gainesville and other municipalities and organizations in Georgia supports Lancaster's decision.
"Florida challenged two basic water uses in this case: municipal and industrial water use in Metropolitan Atlanta and agricultural water use in Southwest Georgia," the brief states. "In neither region would the damage inflicted on Georgia be remotely justified by the benefits of a consumption cap."
It's estimated such a consumption cap would cost Georgia's economy billions of dollars.
Lancaster has repeatedly recommended the states settle the issue out of court given the potential costs and the real costs of arguing the case in court. But neither side has shown a willingness to back down, especially not Georgia, which since February has been enjoying the upper hand in the courts.
The Supreme Court isn't bound by Lancaster's decision. Congress also could still take action to change how the Army Corps of Engineers regulates water flow from the Buford Dam at the south end of Lake Lanier.
A major defense of Georgia's case has been the state's water conservation programs, which have reduced water use by more than 35 percent in metro Atlanta since they took effect.

Japan's Crypto Exchange DeCurret to Start Trading on April 16
Financial regulators in Japan have greenlighted crypto exchange DeCurret as the nation's second exchange to be granted approval, after e-commerce firm Rakuten, reported by Cointelegraph.
DeCurret revealed that it will launch its services on April 16th. In a press release, the company said, "With the concept of 'connecting and exchanging all values and making transactions simple,' DeCurret aims to become 'a major financial servicer for digital currency' that sets standard for secured and convenient digital currency transaction."
April is set to be an exciting month for Japanese investors and crypto enthusiasts, as both DeCurret and Rakuten Wallet (previously known as Everybody's Bitcoin) will kickstart services in Japan's crypto market, made possible with new licensing laws from the country's regulators.
Rakuten and DeCurret were the first two to be granted licenses to operate crypto exchanges in the Japanese market.
Since March 2018, more than 140 firms have expressed interest in setting up exchanges with the Financial Services Agency (FSA), Japan's financial regulator. Since then, 23 firms have submitted their applications for crypto exchange licenses. Another seven are currently in the middle of the FSA approval process.
Meanwhile, Japan's Taotao, formerly BitARG Exchange Tokyo, has also made an announcement that it will be ready to launch its crypto exchange in May. Back in April 2018, Yahoo! Japan stirred excitement when it let on plans to acquire a 40 percent stake in Taotao.
Major tech firms and financial institutions in Japan, such as SBI Holdings, GMO, and Bic Camera, have all announced activities and partnerships relating to cryptocurrency and crypto exchanges, in a bid to gain an edge in the growing industry.

Strombus pugilis (nomeada, em inglês, West Indian fighting conch; em castelhano, Caracol canelo ou Lancetita; em português, no Brasil, Preguari, com diversas variações ao redor deste nome, como Perigoari ou Periguari, Peguari, Praguari e Taguari; além de ser conhecida como Atapú e Lingueta; em Portugal, Estrombo-lutador-das-Índias-Ocidentais) é uma espécie de molusco gastrópode marinho pertencente à família Strombidae. Foi classificada por Carolus Linnaeus em 1758, na obra Systema Naturae (com sua localidade-tipo na Costa dos Mosquitos, Nicarágua; embora Moscatelli cite a Jamaica como localidade-tipo); sendo considerada a espécie-tipo do gênero Strombus. É nativa do oeste do oceano Atlântico; no sudeste da Flórida (EUA), golfo do México, mar do Caribe, norte da América do Sul e por toda a costa brasileira.

Descrição da concha
Conchas de 6 a 10 centímetros, de coloração alaranjada a salmão e constantemente apresentando uma mancha de coloração púrpura na região do canal sifonal, com sua espiral pouco destacada, porém visível, contendo de 8 a 9 voltas com projeções similares a espinhos e com a sua última volta formando uma aba dotada de lábio externo engrossado, quando desenvolvidas. Sua columela é brilhante e suas primeiras voltas são dotadas de costelas axiais, ao invés de projeções espiniformes, o que já o fez ser descrito como outra espécie: Drillia actinocycla Dall & Simpson, 1901. Indivíduos juvenís também apresentam lábio externo fino e podem ser confundidos pelo não-especialista com conchas do gênero Conus. Sua abertura apresenta um opérculo córneo que não fecha completamente sua entrada.

Filogenia

Latiolais e colegas (2006) propuseram uma hipótese das relações de parentesco entre 34 espécies pertencentes à família Strombidae. Dentre elas, os autores analisaram 31 espécies alocadas, à época, no gênero Strombus, incluindo Strombus pugilis. Baseado em sequências de DNA tanto da histona nuclear H3 quanto das regiões gênicas codificadoras da proteína mitocondrial citocromo c oxidase I (COI), o cladograma resultante mostra Strombus pugilis e Strombus alatus como espécies irmãs, compartilhando um provável ancestral comum. Além disso, formam um clado com as espécies Strombus gracilior (táxon irmão de S. pugilis + S. alatus) e Strombus granulatus (táxon irmão de S. pugilis + S. alatus + S. gracilior; a primeira do Atlântico e as duas últimas do Pacífico).

Habitat, hábitos e uso
Strombus pugilis ocorre em águas rasas, entre 2 a 20 metros de profundidade e em substrato arenoso-lodoso, onde se alimentam de algas microscópicas (ou macroscópicas, como Halymenia) e detritos vegetais. Quando lançados à praia, tendem a dar saltos para retornar ao ambiente marinho, daí provindo o seu nome comum em inglês West Indian fighting conch ("concha lutadora das Índias Ocidentais"). Esta espécie comum é utilizada pelo Homem como alimento, podendo ser encontrada nos sambaquis litorâneos, além de ser utilizada em artesanato, na indústria de cal e para o colecionismo. Na medicina tradicional do nordeste do Brasil, o animal de Strombus pugilis é usado como zooterápico para a confecção de um caldo afrodisíaco.

The Color of Lightning: A Novel (Paperback)
Paulette Jiles
In 1863, as the War Between the States creeps slowly yet inevitably toward its bloody conclusion, former Kentucky slave Britt Johnson ventures west into unknown territory with his wife, Mary, and their three children. Settling on the Texas plains, the Johnson family hopes to build on the dreams that carried them from the Confederate South to this new land of possibility - dreams that are abruptly shattered by a brutal Indian raid upon the settlement while Britt is away establishing a business. Returning to face the unthinkable - his friends and neighbours slain or captured, his eldest son dead, his beloved Mary severely damaged and enslaved, and his remaining children absorbed into an alien society that will never relinquish its hold on them - the heartsick freedman vows not to rest until his family is whole again. A soaring work of the imagination based on oral histories of the post-Civil War years in North Texas, Paulette Jiles' "The Color of Lightning" is at once an intimate look into the hearts and hopes of tragically flawed human beings and a courageous reexamination of a dark American history.

Number of Borsa Istanbul investors up to 2.4 million
The number of investors in Borsa Istanbul has increased from 1.9 million to 2.4 million in the last year, according to the head of the Capital Markets Board (SPK).
The annual trade volume of the stock exchange has increased from 6 trillion Turkish Liras ($410 billion) to 7.3 trillion liras ($500 billion), Ali Fuat Taşkesenlioğlu said, noting that the inclusiveness of the stock markets has increased significantly this year with 52 public offerings, the total size of which reached 21.6 billion liras ($1.5 billion).
"Although we have achieved a high momentum, it is clear that the vast majority of the first 1,000 industrial and service companies are still far from the stock market and our market capitalization/national income ratio is low compared to our peers," Taşkesenlioğlu said at a congress of the Turkish Capital Markets Association (TSPB) on Dec. 14.
"It is clear that we need to take bigger steps in order to bring the equity market to the level it deserves," he added.
The Turkish stock exchange has made significant progress this year in terms of public offerings, investor figures and trading volumes, Borsa Istanbul CEO Korkmaz Ergun said.
"We have updated the sustainability index. We have started calculating participation indices and gold denominated indices," Ergun stated.
"We are expecting the portfolio management company to establish funds based on these indices," he added.
Borsa Istanbul's benchmark stock index hit a new record of 2,157.74 points at the close on Dec. 14, climbing 2.68 percent from the previous close. Yesterday morning, the index opened at 2,190.61 points, up by 1.52 percent from the previous close.
The total market value of the BIST 100 was around 1.7 trillion liras ($120.9 billion) by market close on Dec. 14, with a daily trading volume of approximately 54.5 billion liras ($3.8 billion).
The highest trading volumes were posted by private lender Garanti, petrochemical firm Petkim and national flag carrier Turkish Airlines.
TSPB head İbrahim Öztop said that the association would organize events, training and certification programs on sustainability, public listings, digital transformation and entrepreneurship.
"Some 8 billion liras have been provided to new ventures through 88 venture capital investment funds managed by 21 portfolio management companies," he said.
"Integrating entrepreneurship ecosystem with capital markets is among our prioritized works agenda," he added.
TSPB is also planning to deploy innovative capital markets financing products related to environmental and social problems, particularly those caused by climate change, according to Öztop's remarks.
Foreign investors have purchased $1 billion of Turkish equities in the last three months, mainly due to prices at their lowest level in dollar terms since 2009.
"When the currency is weak and rates are low, stocks stand out as pretty much one of the few attractive asset classes left to protect savings for locals, especially those who may be thinking they're late to catch the FX rally," Burak İşyar, the head of equity research at ICBC Turkey Investment, told Bloomberg recently.

Situated in the Northwest corner of the Bois de Boulogne, there is a rose garden. Imagine 9,000 flowers in bloom during the months of June and July and what it must be like to go walking among the 1200 species of roses so carefully tended.
Situated there, is the Chateau Bagatelle with a fascinating history. In the year 1775, the wife of King Louis XIV, Marie-Antoinette, challenged the king's brother, Comte d'Artois, to build a chateau in the park within 90 days. Enlisting some 900 workmen, round the clock, the chateau was completed in a little over sixty days. In 1777 there was a party held there in honor of the King, during which a new indoor table game was debuted. It involved hitting a white ball into corner pockets with a cue stick. The game was called "bagatelle" and thus the little chateau acquired its name.

Q: $(x/a)^2+(y/b)^2=1, y\ge0$. the region bounded by the curve and the line y=0 is revolved about x-axis. The solid will become a sphere when $a=b$. In how many seconds will the solid become a sphere, assuming the rate of change of $a$ and the volume $V$ of the solid both remain constant?
I have integrated and have got that the volume  $ V=\frac{4}{3} \pi ab^2$. But how should I find time?

A: $$ V = \frac43 \pi a b^2$$
By logarithmic differentiation
$$\frac{dV/dt}{V}=\frac{da/dt}{a}+2\frac{db/dt}{b}$$
Only one quantity is unknown, an approximate estimate $ da = a-b ,\, db=0 $ can be made. You can estimate $t$  further.

These three flavour variant 3D renders were commisioned by the packaging agency who designed the new 500g Anchor Uno yoghurt tubs. These tubs are a range of products designed to give you an easier solution for decanting yoghurt into re-usable containers for children's lunchboxes or to serve at breakfast time.
The labels were supplied as open artwork files, the very same files that went to the printer to produce the final production tubs. A supplied sample tub was back-engineered (supplied from the factory). The team at ProductRenders looked at the existing range of products from Anchor and camera matched the look and feel of the current imagery before rendering out multiple resolutions of the tubs. As always, now the tub is created it's very easy and extremely cost-effective to add new flavour variants as and when Anchor chooses.

Building a Brewery: From Strip Malls to Historic Hospitals
Tags: al's of hampden, appalachian brewing company, battlefield brew works, craft beer, gearhouse brewing co., lancaster brewing co., mad chef brewing co., pizza boy brewing, zeroday brewing co.
What can be said about a baseball field in a cornfield in Iowa can be echoed by breweries in any town across America.
Breweries tend to make their homes by any means necessary. Perhaps in this case, the saying should be if you brew it, they will come.
Some take the old bones of a once-was building and revitalize it. Some get innovative and make a new space all their own.
EXPLORE: SaraBozich.com Booze Trail Map »
Keeping history alive
Battlefield Brew Works
Located in an old Confederate hospital on the outskirts of the Gettysburg Battlefield, Battlefield Brew Works is one of my favorite brewery buildings.
You can feel the history from the moment you walk in the door. Inside, large wooden beams dominate the space, and with each step, the floor creaks out its age.
Whether you believe it or not, the barn is said to be extremely haunted. That just adds to the allure of this brewery and distillery.
Lancaster Brewing Co.
Lancaster Brewing Co. grew out of the Lancaster Malt Company, which was founded in 1995, and took up residence in the Edward McGovern Tobacco Warehouse, one of the more historic buildings in Lancaster.
LBC moved into the nearly-150-year-old building and customized it while still paying homage to the building's historic past.
The building's towering presence from the outside coupled with the interior's wooden beams, brick, and other holdovers from the original build in the 1890s make it feel like a proper place to enjoy a beer.
Working with the locals
Zeroday Brewing Co.
Breweries are always collaborating. Whether it's with other brewers or with local businesses.
Zeroday Brewing Co.'s search for a home led them to Midtown where they reimagined and revitalize the vacant space attached to Midtown Cinema to make the building a constant hub of Midtown activity.
Located at the rear of the Cinema, ZerØday has grown into its space and is a gathering point for neighbors and travelers alike.
The building wasn't new for either business, however.
At one time, Midtown Cinema was a grocery store, and ZerØday's location was a Rite Aid Blood Donation center.
The two businesses have collaborated on more than just a home, too. If you go to Midtown Cinema, you can hit up ZerØday before to grab a crowler to sip on during your film.
And ZerØday has hosted preparties, after-parties, and other events to help make coming to the cinema even more of an event.
It's been a match made in movie watching and beer drinking heaven.
Revamping an unused building
GearHouse Brewing Co.
Something I always look forward to when visiting a new brewery is not only how they use the space but how they transform it to fit their needs.
GearHouse Brewing Co. in Chambersburg found its home in an old railroad building initially built in 1894. It was used to redirect trains on their way to their final destination.
Chef Josh Fidler Brings Talents to GearHouse Brewing Co.'s Kitchen
The six partners at GearHouse have updated the entire building but maintained its charm. You can still see old railroads as you arrive, and the large gears outside let you know where you are.
GearHouse's brewhouse can be seen from the tasting room, which has three rooms that all have a different vibe to them. You can get the taproom feel and family space all in one location.
With a new expanded menu from Chef Josh Fidler and an ever-rotating lineup of craft beer from Dave Kozloski, GearHouse needs to be on your short list of breweries to check out.
Appalachian Brewing Co.
Appalachian Brewing Co. is Harrisburg brewing history.
ABC was the first brewery in Harrisburg post-Prohibition, and they have continued operations in their same building at 50 N. Cameron street for more than 20 years.
When they first acquired the building from the city in 1995, it was run-down, fire damaged, and in need of major repairs.
Before beer started to flow, the building was home to a number of different businesses.
ABC's current lagering room is the oldest part of the building and dates back to 1890 when it was owned by the Harrisburg Passenger Railway Co. and Harrisburg Trolley Works.
Following that, the rest of the building was constructed in 1918 and was home to Auchenbauch Printing Co. and then later as an office for the Work Projects Administration in the 1940s.
During World War II, the building transitioned into creating and housing aircraft parts and was also a training facility for mechanics prepping for the war effort.
Luckily, ABC was able to keep that charm throughout the building by salvaging and restoring the original beams and bricks that give the brewery its character.
Making modern work
Mad Chef Brewing Co.
Not all breweries take over the remnants of a once-operational building. Some, like Mad Chef Craft Brewing, take the opportunity to go into a modern, clean-slate build-out for a fresh, blank canvas.
You can call them strip malls if you want to use common terms or trivialize it, but brewers are savvy and creative, so these taprooms still have charm and character.
Mad Chef's brewery and taproom sit in a row of businesses just off of Route 72 in East Petersburg. While it's not much to look at from the outside, once you get in the tasting room you'll easily forget that you're sitting next to a gym and a shoe store.
Al's of Hampden and Pizza Boy Brewing Co.
Most local beer drinkers probably already know the story of Al's of Hampden and Pizza Boy Brewing Co.
In case you don't — the current building wasn't the pizza shop-and-brewery's original location — but they didn't move far.
Their original space is just down the street in the little strip on the corner just before you would turn onto Wertzville Road (Valley Bistro has recently opened at the former pizza shop), and they still use the basement for their barrel-aged beers.
Al Kominski built the current building from the ground up, greatly expanding both customer seating and brewing operations.
Pizza Boy's brewery is designed so that you can see all the brewing equipment from the brewhouse to the fermenters. You can even see the lines running from the service tanks directly to the taps.
This by means is no end all be all list of interesting brewery locations. These are simply some of my favorites because of how they made their space work for them.
Let me know your favorites!

Introducing keynote speakers:
At the simplest level, any particular expression of the immunity to change provides us a picture of how we are systematically working against the very goal we genuinely want to achieve.
Dr. Robert Kegan - Harvard University
Shadow and Light in Adult Development
Dr. Kegan will reflect on the promise and peril of our present moment globally through his Adult Developmental Model and working with individuals and companies worldwide in the last 40 years.
Dr. Robert Kegan is an American developmental psychologist and author. He was the William and Miriam Meehan Professor in Adult Learning and Professional Development at Harvard Graduate School of Education, where he taught for forty years until his retirement in 2016. Additionally he was the Educational Chair for the Institute for Management and Leadership in Education and the Co-director for the Change Leadership Group. He is a licensed psychologist and practicing therapist, has lectured widely to professional and lay audiences, and consults in the area of professional development. Ken Wilber built his levels of development in Integral Theory on major adult development theorists, partly on Kegan's stages.
Looking At and Through Robert Kegan's Evolved Perspective on Human Development
Robert Kegan Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist and practising therapist based in Boston, Mass., who teaches, researches, writes, and consults internationally regarding adult and professional development, ongoing psychological transformation, and the evolution of consciousness.
One could easily argue that Dr. Kegan's own history, both personal and societal, conspired cunningly to set the stage for the development of a developmental stage theory. Fate took the liberty of conveniently bilocating him in the middle as well as on the margins of life. Kegan occupied the center by being born the middle child of middle class parents in middle America at the middle of the 20th century. Yet, equally, he was thrust to the periphery of normality courtesy of growing up Jewish in the homogeneously Protestant state of Minnesota, and perhaps also due to being a member of a family touched by tragedy—an unfortunate accident which left his older brother with life-altering injuries, and, thus, evermore encountering difference and discrimination.
The backdrop to this narrative's unfolding was initially the cool, collected, clean-cut 1950's, where order—prized after the chaos and ugliness of war—reigned supreme, and where roles and expectations were defined clearly. Then, as a new decade dawned, came a quickening. A profoundly different way of perceiving and participating in reality was being born, and, with it, the radical alteration of day-to-day existence. Solid structures morphed into shifting sands as change approached, and people everywhere broke free from the safe haven of tradition, found their own voices, and took a stand. Meanwhile, a youthful Robert Kegan was coming of age at this precise historical juncture, undergoing the selfsame meaning-making transition in concert with the culture around him. This serendipitous convergence wound up being both a lifesaver for a man, and a godsend for human development.
By choosing to be led by his inner compass, rather than aligning himself with his family or the establishment, Kegan turned away from fighting in what he believed to be an unjust war, and, as a result, also away from the postgraduate study of English Literature in Britain. Instead he remained on his home turf and turned his attention toward the field of education, first teaching children then enrolling in an experimental, interdisciplinary, self-designed doctoral program at Harvard. This diverse and enriching environment became the fertile ground upon which Kegan cultivated his robust, organic, intuitive conception of self-evolution, using Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development as a seed, with psychoanalytic and humanistic psychology as well as existential and moral philosophy as supportive structures.
In his book The Evolving Self: Problem and Process in Human Development (1982), Kegan posits six stages or evolutionary balances the self could employ to organize experience and make meaning: (0) Incorporative; (1) Impulsive; (2) Imperial/Instrumental; (3) Interpersonal (4) Institutional/Individual; (5) Inter-Individual/Inter-Institutional. Although the first phase characterizes infancy, these stages stretch well beyond childhood, the period so overemphasized by other developmental theorists. Kegan's balances are not mere milestones to sprint past on a linear race to life's final finish. They can be envisioned as nested layers of context—veritable interrelated Russian dolls of conscious awareness—from which the self, once embedded, organismically emerges, always with increased mental complexity and, consequently, with an upgrade in perspective.
Transformation, however, is never painless. Elaborating on the Piagetian concept of decentration, what might seem superficially to be an agreeable levelling up to the next order of consciousness actually, in Kegan's view, involves the destabilizing loss of one's center of balance—departure of the very subject of one's being. During the transition between stages, the center of one's self is removed and relegated to the forefront of one's perceptual field, where this former subject (i.e. what one is) can be examined and utilized as an object (i.e. what one has). Once only looked through, this former lens of self can now looked at, as the middle issues out to the margins. Each successive center is constructed, defended, subordinated, surrendered, and reconstituted as the self evolves, while the culture in which the person is immersed plays its own part in this evolution. Taking up where child psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott left off, Kegan elucidates precisely how one's environment can serve to provide confirmation (holding), contradiction (letting go), or continuity (staying put for reintegration), either facilitating or complicating the enterprise of development.
After over a decade of testing and refining his original theory (for example, evolutionary balances became orders of consciousness), Kegan authored another book, In Over Our Heads: The Mental Demands of Modern Life (1994), further clarifying his framework by applying it to the real life predicaments adults frequently face in their attempts to satisfy contemporary expectations regarding love and work. The critical process of transitioning between stages—how it occurs and, particularly, the manner in which it is often resisted—has become the focus of his more recent efforts. In Immunity to Change (2009), Kegan and his co-author Lisa Lahey Ed.D. shine the spotlight on the world of work and on the barriers people consistently erect, frustrating their own improvement goals and preventing the natural transition between adult orders of mind: Socialized (Stage 3); Self-Authoring (Stage 4); and Self-Transforming (Stage 5). Together they lay bare the key to surfacing the hidden commitments we harbour that keep us stuck, as well as the overarching assumptions that give rise to these commitments, so that lasting, adaptive change can occur. Kegan and Lahey have written several additional books and co-founded Minds at Work, a professional development, coaching, and coach training service, based on their immunity to change methodology.

"Flawless and amazing" is how FOH engineer Niels Jensen described DPA's d:facto Vocal Microphone after he deployed 18 of them to amplify the singers in a unique stage show entitled Ayreon Universe, which was performed over three nights at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.
The progressive metal/rock opera known as Ayreon Universe is the invention of Dutch singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Arjen A. Lucassen. The performances in Tilburg marked the first time Lucassen had staged the rock opera live, with over 9,000 people from more than 54 countries in attendance.
The whole project took over a year to materialise and was masterminded by Lucassen and his musical director Joost van den Broek. At each performance, Lucassen was joined on stage by 17 original Ayreon singers (including backing vocalists) and a hand-picked band of eight instrumentalists.
18 wireless d:facto 4018V Vocal Microphones were used for the singers. Jensen close-miked the snare drum using a d:facto 4018VL Linear capsule with a MMP-ES preamp mounted on a GSM4000 Gooseneck Mount and a d:vote drum clip, to capture the drum sound as naturally as possible. He also used this solution on a high Leslie for the same reasons.
He also specified DPA d:vote 4099 Instrument Microphones and a selection of d:dicate 2011 Twin Diaphragm Cardioid and 4015 Wide Cardioid microphones to capture a range of instruments including drums, Leslie, digeridoo, flute and percussion. All the microphones were supplied by Amptec, DPA's distributor in the Netherlands.

During the first semester that students are enrolled in the program they are placed in Head Start programs in Rock, Walworth, and Jefferson counties for two mornings a week for twelve weeks (approximately 7 to 8 hours a week). In Head Start placements where there are multiple classrooms, more than one student can volunteer. In placements where there is only one classroom, a student may be placed alone or with a peer. Head Start placements have been developed as an opportunity to provide students with a field-based reflective experience in a national early childhood program. Each cooperating teacher documents the student's performance weekly and evaluates the quality of the student's work in a final written evaluation. The Head Start placements are explained during the classroom component of the course, during which students meet on campus every other week.
Evaluation Form for Head Start: The process for evaluating Head Start is explained in the course Observation & Participation in Head Start (EDUINDP 214).
Working with Infants/Toddlers and Their Families (EDUINDP 322) 4 credits - one of which is field study during 45 hours.
The requirements and evaluation process for fieldwork with infants and toddlers are explained in the course Working with Infants/Toddlers and Their Families (EDUINDP 322).
During three semesters, students are enrolled in fieldwork, which is connected to the following methods courses: (1) Integrated Curriculum for Children, 3-5 (EDUINDP 320, 3 credits during the 1st semester); (2) Planning for Individual Needs (EDUINDP 442, 3 credits during the fourth semester; and (3) Integrated Curriculum for Children, 6-8, (EDUINDP 452, 3 credits during the fifth semester).
The students make the fieldwork placements in consultation with the faculty member teaching the course. The instructor discusses and distributes field work requirements during the methods course and informs cooperating teachers of the field work requirements. Cooperating teachers evaluate the quality of the students' work. Students are asked to use reflective writing and video taping to demonstrate their teaching skills and implementation of instructional strategies.

Tricks For Renting a Portable Toilet in Max, North Dakota.
Usually people don't think of a portable toilet rental vendor as the first place they'd call when having an event, but it's always needed when big crowds are involved.A lot of people have used a portable toilet at some time in their life, but when it comes time to actually rent one for an event, the taks can bemore challenging than you would think.
Your porta potty arrangement could end up being the most important part of your special occasion, since the good times would be short lived if your guests can't relieve themselves rapidly enough. If you're hosting a sizable get together, the choice of a portable restroom may be the furthest thing on your list to order, but the fact is it can have a huge impact on your special occasion. There are many more varieties of porta potties than you may realize and you'll want to make sure you choose the right options to avoid long lines or disruptions.
Foremost, consider the different porta potty choices that you'll be presented with when going with a rental service. One of your choices could be between regular porta potties and toilet trailers, a choice that can be made based on the size and how formal your occasion will be. Ask your rental business about cleansing stations and if the units will have inside hand washing sinks or not as well as lighting options if your gathering will be during the night hours. Ask about maintenance options available during your gathering, particularly if there is very hot weather anticipated, since you may need to make plans for the units to be emptied periodically.
You might be someone who is looking for a basic portable toilet and the overall fee is your most important concern, then single-stall options kind of like those usually used at construction sites and carnival grounds are probably the most beneficial option. On the other hand, there are other more upscale bathroom trailers that provide a full room for guests to use. Almost every toilet stall you rent should have a sanitation option, toilet paper and paper towels at the very least. If you have a less crowded and just want to have the most standard of portable toilets, you can always opt for an external hand washing basin. The VIP portable toilets come with with all of the materials that are needed, including a appealing smell in an air freshener.
Many portable toilet rental services will ask for information such as your guest size and length of your event before providing an accurate price quote. Price will fluctuate a lot depending on event type, region, crowd size, porta potty type, length of use, and accessories. You will be able to customize your portable toilet amenities and include things such as mirrors, running water inside and even air fresheners if you'd like them for your event.
Portable Toilet placement is a very important factor to consider in order to ensure people won't have to walk a far distance to relieve themselves. It's suggested to place the porta potties in a centralized location that is easy to access for all guests, yet isn't in the way or obstructive of foot traffic. Once convenient placement has been nailed down, porta potty units must stand within twenty-five to 40 feet of access for a service pump truck. It's absolutely vital that the portable toilets aren't put too close to any dining areas at your event, as it might result in serious issues should a breakage orissue occur.
You should also think about cleaning services and resupply of paper essentials that you will likely need throughout your event for the toilet units. This includes aspects like toilet paper and hand drying refills in addition to cleaning or sanitizing the toilets. Be sure to inquire about additional toilet paper and other amenities with your vendor, since it can be extremely embarrassing if your guests need to come up and you ask you about them or find themselves in a tought situation.
Typically, porta potty prices could be anywhere from to 5 for a single day. To cut costs you'll need to try and select a portable toilet company that is as close to your event as possible, that way you don't pay as much for transportation fees. The higher end portable toilets can easily cost up to 0 per day, and if you desire a fully loaded option you may be looking at spending as much as 0. Thinking about things such as prices, time of your rental and which options to go with are vital when deciding on a rental decision. As long as you have a general understanding of options as well as asking the best questions with your vendor, you can't go wrong and your special occasion will go on smoothly.

Background: Caries and periodontal diseases remain as important diseases in the Brazilian population. One important pathogen associated with this situation is Streptococcus mutans and other important factor is this pathogen's ability to adhere firmly to the tooth surface leading to dental biofilm formation and caries development. Objectives: Determine the antibacterial and other biological activities of P. venusta related to its potential to be used in the treatment of caries and periodontal disease. Methods: The growth inhibition by P. venusta of Streptococcus mutans, S. mitis, S. oralis and Candida albicans was determined using the broth microdilution method. In addition, the effect of the samples in adherence and reducing production of acids by S. mutans, and germ-tube formation of C. albicans was analysed. The Nitric Oxide (NO) production and cytotoxicity of P. venusta to peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and RAW 264.7 Cell Line Murine Macrophage from Blood were assessed. Results: The crude extract (CE) and ethyl-acetate (AF) and n-butanol (BF) fractions showed antibacterial activity. The ethyl-acetate (AF) fraction showed the highest inhibition percentage against the adherence of S. mutans and C. albicans cells without budding, beyond NO production inhibition. There was not any cytotoxicity in the murine macrophages RAW 264.7 cells. Conclusion: Our results suggest that P. venusta presents potential to be used as a preliminary source of compounds that can provide helpful activity when used in prophylaxis or treatment of caries or periodontal disease.

Caries and periodontal disease are the most prevalent oral diseases in Brazilian population, with dental biofilm being considered the primary etiological factor in the establishment of these pathologies.[1]Streptococcus mutans is one of the most important etiological agents of dental caries in humans, and it is considered co-responsible for the initial phase of cariogenic lesions.[2] The adherence has a well-established role in the virulence of S. mutans since it is capable of synthesizing extracellular glucans through sucrose using glucosyltransferase enzyme. The glucans molecules have the ability to grip to various solid surfaces, which gives them the ability to adhere firmly and irreversibly to the tooth surface and can lead to dental biofilm formation and caries development.[3],[4]Streptococcus oralis and Streptococcus mitis are also commonly found in dental biofilm, however, due to the absence of acidogenic or aciduric properties in these microorganisms, they are associated only with the early stages of dental biofilm formation, not acting directly on the demineralization of tooth enamel, but only making it more suitable for colonization by S. mutans.[5],[6]
Another fairly common oral disease is oral candidiasis that occurs due to infection by Candida spp.[7]Candida albicans is the yeast, most frequently isolated from the oral cavity and, in some situations, can behave as an opportunistic pathogen, for example, in situ ations of low immunity, poor oral hygiene, low salivary flow, and use of implants.[7],[8] The biology of C. albicans presents different aspects, including the ability to show distinct morphologies. The unicellular yeast phase can generate a bud and form hyphae. The formation of hyphae or filaments enables the cell to exert mechanical strength helping the microorganism to penetrate epithelial surfaces of the host, and once in the bloodstream, to act on the endothelium. These mechanisms allow C. albicans to insert tissues deeper into the host.[9]
It is well established that pathogenic microorganisms are the primary causative agents of periodontal diseases.[10] However, it is known that cytokines and inflammatory mediators can cause local tissue destruction reflecting clinically in periodontal injuries and alveolar bone loss.[10],[11] The antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities of medicinal plants have been widely investigated in several experimental models to seek auxiliary or alternative strategies in the treatment of infectious and inflammatory processes in the oral cavity.[12] The species Pyrostegia venusta (Ker Gawl) Miers, belonging to the family Bignoniaceae, is popularly known as "flor-de-São-João" or "cipó-de-São-João" and in folk medicine, it is used for the treatment of cough, bronchitis, colds, diarrhea, vitiligo, erysipelas, jaundice, and in the treatment of uterine and genital tract infections in women and female newborn.[13],[14],[15] Consequently, due to the important biological activities attributed to P. venusta in studies at the literature not only as the melanogenic, antitumor, anthelmintic, antinociceptive, and antioxidant but also as antimicrobial and immunomodulatory agent,[16],[17],[18],[19],[20],[21] the aim of this work was to evaluate the potential of crude extract (CE) and fractions from P. venusta in the prevention of major oral diseases.
P. venusta flowers were collected in Naviraí, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, in June 2006. A voucher herbarium specimen was identified by Doctor Maria Auxiliadora Milaneze Gutierre and was deposited under number HUEM 11708 at the Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Paraná, Brazil. The fresh flowers were washed, dried at room temperature, and then pulverized. CE was obtained by turbo-extraction (Skymsen) of 200 g of the flower with 30% ethanol in water for 15 min. The organic solvent was eliminated by rotavapor under reduced pressure and lyophilized to yield a CE. Next, the CE (30 g) was suspended in water (300 mL) and partitioned with hexane (300 mL; HF), ethyl-acetate (AF) (300 mL; AF), and n-butanol (300 mL; n-butanol [BF]) to obtain water fraction (WF).
Determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration, minimum bactericidal concentration, and minimum fungicidal concentration
The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined according to the methods of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, using samples of S. mutans (ATCC) American Type Culture Collection 25175, S. mitis ATCC 49456, S. oralis ATCC 10557, and C. albicans ATCC 0175 provided by the Instituto Nacional de Controle de Qualidade em Saúde, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The concentrations of extracts and fractions were 1000 µg/mL, 500 µg/mL, 250 µg/mL, 125 µg/mL, 62.5 µg/mL, 31.2 µg/mL, and 15.6 µg/mL. MIC corresponded to the lowest concentration of CE and fractions able to inhibit the visible growth of microorganisms on the broth liquid medium (turbidity) with no more than 10 colony-forming units (CFU) of bacteria or fungus in the agar solid medium. The minimum bactericidal and fungicidal concentrations corresponded to the lowest concentration of CE and fractions able to inhibit the visible growth of microorganisms on the broth liquid medium associated with absence of growth on agar solid medium.[22],[23],[24]
Glass cover slip assay
The method of Hamada and collaborators was used, partially modified. S. mutans ATCC cultured for 24 h in Brain-Heart Infusion (BHI) broth at 37°C and in microaerophilia (10% CO2) were centrifuged for 20 min and resuspended with buffer (3.0 mL) adjusted by the McFarland scale (1.5 × 108 cells/mL). From this bacterial suspension, a sample (1.5 mL) was added to buffer (control, 1.5 mL) or to CE/fractions (1.5 mL) in the MIC, previously determined. These were incubated at 37°C in microaerophilia for 4 h, centrifuged and resuspended with BHI + sucrose (3.0 mL). Serial dilutions were made in BHI medium: 10−1 and 10−2. The 10−2 dilution (500 mL) was placed on a 24 well plate with a glass cover slip. The plate was incubated at 37°C in microaerophilia for 2 h. Next, the suspension was removed from each well, and the glass coverslip was removed and rinsed with buffer to be placed into another 24 well plate. Hence, 10% sheep-blood agar in BHI (500 mL) was added on each cover slip, and the plate was incubated. CFU were counted after 24 h of incubation at 37°C in microaerophilia in triplicate. Viable colonies in dishes with 10% sheep-blood agar were also counted.[3],[25]
Effect of the crude extract and fractions on the production of acids
S. mutans (1 mL of the inoculum, consisting of the equivalent to 1.5 × 108 CFU/mL – 0.5 MacFarland scale tube, was seeded in 100 mL red phenol broth containing 1% glucose and the CE/fractions) then incubated at 37°C in microaerophilia for at least 12 h and, at regular intervals of 1 h, a sample (4 mL) of the culture was removed and its pH measured with a pH meter.[3],[26]
Effect on germ-tube formation and budding of Candida albicans
The previously determined MIC of extract crude and fractions from P. venusta, diluted in RPMI 1640 medium with MOPS, were tested to assess the effect on budding of C. albicans. The plates were incubated at 37°C for 48 h and observed by a negative-staining technique using 7% aqueous nigrosin in each smear by light microscopy, and the percentage of budding cells was calculated.[27]
Murine macrophages RAW 264.7 were maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) (Gibco Invitrogen Corporation, New York, USA) and supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine, heat-inactivated 10% fetal bovine serum and 50 mg/ml gentamicin and buffered with sodium bicarbonate. The cultures were maintained at 37°C in 5% of CO2/air mixture. RAW 264.7 cells (2 × 105 cells/mL) were plated in 96-well microplates and kept in culture for 3 h for adhesion and stability of the macrophage culture. After this period, the culture supernatants were removed carefully in order to remove nonadherent cells and replaced in DMEM with or without lipopolysacharide (LPS) (1 mg/ml) (Escherichia coli 055:B5; Sigma-Aldrich, USA) in the presence or absence of CE and fractions of P. venusta at the follow concentrations 100 mg/ml, 20 mg/ml, 4 mg/ml, and 0.8 mg/ml. After 24 h, the culture supernatant was collected to evaluate the ability of CE and fractions to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) or it potential of cytotoxicity.
Nitric oxide production
NO production was indirectly estimated by measuring nitrite concentration in the supernatant through a reference curve with sodium nitrite. The supernatants (50 µL) were transferred to a new microplate and 50 µL of Griess reagent (1% sulfanilamide + 0.1 naphthylethylenediaminedihydrochloride in 5% phosphoric acid, Sigma Chemical Co.,) added, freshly prepared. After 10 min, the absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 570 nm. As a negative control, macrophages were stimulated with LPS at a concentration of 1 mg/ml and treated with nonspecific inhibitor of NO synthase NG-Monomethyl-L-Arginine (L-NMMA at 20 mg/ml) and as positive control macrophages stimulated with LPS to 1 mg/ml and untreated were used.
Cell viability
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated from healthy donors by density centrifugation on a Ficoll-Paque Plus (GE Healthcare Biosciences, Uppsala, Sweden). PBMC (5 × 104) were incubated with CE and fractions (1000 mg/ml) in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, U.S.A) supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 mg/ml streptomycin, 10 mL/L nonessential aminoacid and 5% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum, for 1 h before the addition of 1 mg/ml LPS. After 24 h of culture, cell viability was determined by Trypan blue exclusion. In the murine macrophages, RAW 264.7 cell cultures cell viability was determined by the diphenyl tetrazolium assay-(MTT).[28] Briefly, MTT (5 mg/mL) was dissolved in DMEM, sterilized through 0.22 mm membranes and added to the plate containing CEs or fractions plus LPS, 10 mL/well, for 4 h at 37°C in a 5% de CO2/air mixture. RAW 264.7 cells were incubated without compounds and used as viability control. Cell viability was directly proportional to OD value. The number of viable cells was expressed as a percentage relative to control cells, measured as 100% OD570, treated/OD570, control.
Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 4 software (GraphPad Prism Software® San Diego, California, GraphPad Software, Inc., 7825 Fay Avenue, Suite 230, La Jolla, CA 92037 USA) by analysis of one-way variance followed by multiple comparison tests (Tukey test). Results that showed P < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
CE, AF, and BF fractions showed 1000 mg/ml MBC against all the bacterial tested but were not able to inhibit C. albicans growth on higher concentration tested (CFM > 1000 mg/ml). WF showed 1000 mg/ml MBC against S. mitis and S. oralis but was not effective against S. mutans and C. albicans. HF showed not to be effective against all the microorganisms tested, with a MBC/minimum fungicidal concentration >1000 mg/ml [Table 1].
Table 1: Antimicrobial activity of Pyrostegia venusta crude extract, fractions and constituents
Some authors proposed a classification for the antimicrobial activity of plant extracts according to MIC, considering strong inhibitors (MIC down or equal to 0.5 mg/ml), moderated inhibitors (MIC between 0.6 and 1.5 mg/ml), and weak inhibitors (MIC up to 1.6 mg/ml).[29] However, there are other authors who recommended another classification according to MIC: If the extract shows MIC lower than 100 mg/ml, the activity is considered good; if the extract shows MIC between 101 and 500 mg/ml, the activity is considered moderated; if the extract shows MIC between 501 and 1000 mg/ml, the activity is considered weak, and if the extract shows MIC greater than 1000 mg/ml, the extract is considered inactive.[24] Our results demonstrated that CE and fractions from P. venusta flowers showed a moderate to strong activity against pathogenic microorganisms associated with caries and periodontal disease, according to the Aligiannins group classification, and they showed a weak to a moderate activity against these same pathogens when the Holetz group classification is considered, with an inhibition MIC from 500 to 1000 mg/ml when tested against the microorganisms. Taking into account that all extracts showing MIC down to 2 mg/ml could be considered having antimicrobial potential against C. albicans, our results corroborate to assume P. venusta as a good plant in the study of new molecules to treat oral diseases, and it is according with many authors who observed moderate activity in fractions of the flowers and leaves from P. venusta against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative bacteria.[18],[21],[29],[30]
Caries prevention depends on the control of microbial dental biofilm. Thus, current research aims at finding agents which have direct action on cariogenic microorganisms or that can interfere with factors involved in biofilm formation. The adhesion test result shows that all P. venusta compounds used here were able to inhibit the adherence of S. mutans to the smooth surface in the presence of sucrose, with the ethyl-acetate fraction showing the best percentage (76.7%) [Figure 1].
Figure 1: Adherence inhibition of Streptococcus mutans when using crude extract (CE) and fractions of Pyrostegia venusta. The data represent the mean of triplicate from one of three experiments. *P < 0.0001 when compared to contril; **P < 0.01 when compared CE, AF and BF; #P < 0.01 when compared to AF
In association with these results, the production of acid was investigated because it is a good indicator of the fermentation of carbohydrate by bacteria and can lead to a reduction in dental plaque pH triggering demineralization of teeth and the formation of cariogenic lesions. In addition, low pH conditions promote the proliferation of aciduric and acidogenic species, including S. mutans and Lactobacillus spp., important microorganisms associated with oral diseases. Thus, one strategy for preventing caries is the use of an agent able to inhibit acid production in dental plaque.[31],[32]P. venusta compounds were effective in reducing acid production by S. mutans, showing an effect comparable to that observed with the control chlorhexidine. The decrease of pH was significantly inhibited by CE and all fractions studied [Figure 2].
Figure 2: pH values observed in Streptococcus mutans culture in red phenol broth treated with crude extract (CE) and fractions of P. venusta
Despite being saprophytic yeast, C. albicans can behave as an opportunistic pathogen in some situations.[9],[33] CE and fractions from P. venusta were able to inhibit the budding formation of C. albicans, with AF showing the highest percentage inhibition of cells from bud formation (56.3%). In contrast, WF did not show inhibition, considering its percentage was comparable to the negative control, with only 37.6% of cells without budding [Figure 3].
Figure 3: Budding of Candida albicans was inhibited by crude extract and fractions of Pyrostegia venusta. The data represent the mean of triplicate from one of three experiments. *P < 0.0001 when compared to control; **P < 0.001 when compared to CE, HF and BF
Bacteria causing periodontal diseases and inflammatory cytokines can induce a higher synthesis of NO by macrophages in the periodontal tissues. The local consequence of high NO production is not only involved in the defense mechanisms of the host but also contributes to tissue damage, causing destruction in tooth supporting tissues. NO production was inhibited by AF and BF when the concentration of 100 mg/ml was used. BF was able to inhibit NO production at 20 mg/ml too. However, CE, HF, and WF were not able to inhibit NO production in the concentrations used [Figure 4]. This is promising in the research for new anti-inflammatory agents in addition to having an associated ability to control the growth of pathogenic bacteria, representing an emerging concept in the treatment of periodontitis.[31],[34],[35]
Figure 4: Nitric oxide production inhibition by n-butanol and ethyl-acetate fractions. The data represent the mean of triplicate from one of three experiments. *P < 0.001 when compated to control; **P < 0.001 when compared to the other concentrtions used
Viability of PBMC cells was lower than murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells according with the percentage of viable cells against total cells observed after culture with CE and all fractions from P. venusta stimulated with LPS. CE was the most cytotoxic, with 58.3% of PBMC cells being not viable. On the other hand, AF was the less cytotoxic, showing 76.1% of viable PBMC cells. In the murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells, MTT assay showed a result quite different with no one of the treatments and concentrations used resulting in any cytotoxicity. This can be explained by the concentrations of the compounds used in the two assays, since in the assay by Trypan blue exclusion we used a higher concentration (1000 mg/ml) while in the MTT assay we used the 100 mg/ml concentration. In addition, our research group demonstrated previously that the cytotoxic assay by Trypan blue might present a higher number of unviable cells when compared to the MTT assay as observed in our study [Table 2].[36]
Table 2: Cell viability in Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and murine macrophages RAW 264.7
Our results suggest that P. venusta presents potential to be used as a preliminary source of compounds that can provide helpful activity when used in prophylaxis or treatment of caries or periodontal disease. The ethyl-acetate fraction showed promising results justifying further studies to investigate the mechanisms of action and the possible development of a new oral antiseptic agent.

Happenings in the insect world
'When I Grow Up, I Want to Be an Entomologist'
Author: Kathy Keatley Garvey
Rebecca "RJ" Millena as a pre-schooler at the Lawrence Hall of Science.
How many kindergarten students have you heard say "When I grow up, I want to be an entomologist?"
"Ento-what?" some folks will ask. "What's that?"
Five-year-old Rebecca Jean "RJ" Millena could have told you.
She still can.
When she entered kindergarten in Concord, Calif., RJ penciled this on her "About Me" poster: "When I grow up, I want to be an entomologist."
To the amazement of her teacher and classmates, she even knew how to spell the five-syllable word referring to "the scientific study of insects."
Fast forward to today. She's 22, a senior majoring in entomology at the University of California, Davis, and an outstanding student researcher in the laboratory of UC Davis Distinguished Professor Jay Rosenheim of the Department of Entomology and Nematology.
And she's just accepted a four-year, full-ride fellowship offer to complete a doctoral program at the American Museum of Natural History. She will join the systematics laboratory of Dr. Jessica Ware after receiving her bachelor's degree from UC Davis in June.
In 2019, RJ was one of four UC Davis undergraduates selected for a two-year funded research career with the University of California Leadership Excellence through Advanced Degrees (UC LEADS) program, which prepares promising students for advanced education in science, technology, mathematics and engineering (STEM). The UC LEADS scholars embark upon a two-year program of scientific research and graduate school preparation.
Guided by Rosenheim, RJ launched her independent research project on those bizarre Strepsiptera endoparasites that attack their hosts, the Ammophila (thread-waisted) wasps.
RJ says that "being able to work with Jay on this project investigating the host-parasite relationship between Ammophila wasps and Strepsiptera was what made me fall in love with this super weird order of endoparasites." As larvae, members of the order Strepsiptera, known as "twisted wings," enter their hosts, including wasps and bees, through joints or sutures.
RJ Millena with a stick insect at the Bohart Museum of Entomology.
"Parasitoids are the love of my life," she says. "I want to focus on everything to do with parasitoid/parasite-host interactions and how these interactions affect the rest of the world."
Over a two-year period, she studied thousands of specimens at the Bohart Museum of Entomology. The UC Davis insect museum houses a worldwide collection of eight million specimens, including "about 30,000 specimens of Ammophila from multiple continents," says director Lynn Kimsey, UC Davis professor of entomology. Global wasp authority and UC Davis doctoral alumnus Arnold Menke, author of the book, The Ammophila of North and Central America (Hymenoptera, Sphecidae), identified most of the Ammophila specimens in the Bohart Museum. His book is considered "the bible" of Ammophila research.
RJ went on to enter a poster, "Parental Care and the Risk of Maternally Vectored Pathogens: Ammophila Transmit Strepsipteran Parasites to Their Young," in the March 2021 Koret UC LEADS Symposium poster competition and won top honors.
A dean's honor student with multiple interests, RJ plays French horn and trumpet in the UC Davis Video Game Orchestra. She performed two years with the California Aggie Marching Band-Uh. In her Davis apartment she tends to a colony of Madagascar hissing cockroaches, a scorpion, a tarantula, a tailless whip scorpion, and an African cat-eye mantis. "Over the last four years at UC Davis, I've had a colony of millipedes, two other tarantulas, a giant Vietnamese centipede, and five other assorted mantis species. The five-year-old me would also be thrilled about that."
But back to what children want to be when they grow up. Usually they say cowboy, truck driver, cook, teacher, dancer, actor, musician, artist, athlete, firefighter, detective, writer, police officer, astronaut, pilot, veterinarian, lawyer, doctor and the like.
But rarely "entomologist."
RJ's highly contagious enthusiasm toward the scientific study of insects serves as a definite role model to young girls aspiring to careers in STEM. Women make up only 28 percent of the workforce in STEM, according to the American Association of University Women. RJ is closing the gender gap.
'I Wanna Be an Entomologist'
Back in 2011, we were delighted to see UC Davis Regents Scholar Heather Wilson, a researcher/lab technician in the Frank Zalom laboratory, UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, create a fun-filled, innovative video, "I Wanna Be an Entomologist," a take-off of "I Wanna Be a Billionaire" from Travie McCoy's Lazarus album.
Heather entered her project in an Entomological Society of America (ESA) contest and won honorable mention.
In her video, she runs with an insect net, counts bugs in the Zalom lab, watches bees in a hive, and visits the Bohart Museum. At the Bohart, she hugs a display of butterflies and cradles a rose-haired tarantula and Madagascar hissing cockroach from its live "petting zoo."
"I wanna be an entomologist, so freakin' bad," Wilson sings. "I wanna be on the cover of Economic Entomology, smiling next to Frank and Jim Carey..."
"Frank and Jim" are Frank Zalom and James R. Carey, UC Davis distinguished professors in the Department of Entomology and Nematology. Zalom is a past president of the 7000-member ESA, and both were selected ESA Fellows.
Watch Heather Wilson's video at https://youtu.be/rwNbbJgXNXA and you'll probably decide being an entomologist sounds much more fun than being a billionaire. Who wants to be a billionaire, anyway? Let's go check out the insects!
The entomology line forms over there...don't crowd and don't cut in.
UC Davis entomology major Rebecca Jean "RJ" Millena shows visitors some of the critters in the Bohart Museum of Entomology.
Former researcher Heather Wilson of the Frank Zalom lab, UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, created a fun-filled video about "I Wanna Be an Entomologist." In this screen shot she chases an imaginary bug.

Angelica archangelica | Angelica Root Essential Oil | Fragrance Shoppe.
Species Angelica archangelica L. var.
The light, slightly peppery top note is attributed to Phellandrene (monoterpene), the dominant component.
The middle notes are herbaceous-earthy and woody and "slightly musky animal-like with a spicy undertone."
Lactones; minor components occurring in small amounts cause these "special effects" and are probably the reason Angelica Root Oil blends and harmonizes so well. One of these lactones is Cyclopentadecanolide.
Angelica Root Oil is highly respected in the aromatics industry. It blends well with Patchouli, Opopanax, Costus, Sage Clary, Vetiver, Oakmoss, Coumarin, Citrus Colognes, and Oriental Bases.
Action: Angelica is an anticoagulant, is sedating to the nervous system, and it reduces inflammation of the intestinal wall. Emotionally, it is calming, assisting in the release of pent-up negative feelings.
Traditional Uses: Known as the "holy spirit root" or the "oil" of angels" by the Europeans, angelica's healing powers were so strong that it was believed to be of divine origin. From the time of Paracelsus, it was credited with the ability to protect from the plague. The stems were chewed during the plague of 1660 tp prevent infection. When burned, the seeds and roots were thought to purify the air.
Indications: Bruises, colic, coughs, respiratory infections, indigestion, menopause, premenstrual tension, loss of appetite, and rheumatic conditions.
Application: Apply to Vita Flex points of the shoulder, on the bottom of the feet, or use in a cold air diffuser.
Fragrant Influence: Angelica is soothing and calming and helps release and let go of negative feelings by brining memories back to the point of origin before trauma or anger was expercienced.
