"Just when you thought the iPad was the coolest item in your electronics arsenal, the iPad2 comes along and all of a sudden, the original iPad isn't as feature-rich as it seemed before.",
"But the rapid fall into obsolescence is not a problem affecting just the iPad – this trend is reflected with all consumer electronics.",
"However, there is a new microchip with the potential to change the status quo.",
"It is a reprogrammable, low cost chip capable of self-rearranging its design on demand.",
"That way, when a manufacturer wants to add functionality, the logic gates of the chip can be modified to implement the new feature.",
"Thus, consumers may be able to avoid buying a new model or physically replacing the old chip.",
"The reprogrammable chip is built by Tabula, a tech start up.",
"Tabula’s chip is a less costly yet more powerful alternative to current reprogrammable chips such as FPGA (field programmable gate array).",
"FPGAs are usually used in low volume, high cost devices such as CT scanners where regularly buying a new model to replace an older model is prohibitive and impractical.",
"Tabula’s cost advantage over FPGAs is mostly as a result of its smaller size and reduced cost.",
"Indeed, the large size of FPGA chips not only drives up the cost – it also slows down the performance of the chip given the distances signals have to travel on the chip surface.",
"If the FPGA is a large single story building, consider Tabula’s chip to be a multistoried building achieving the same ‘volume’ but with considerably smaller footprint.",
"Signals thus travel shorter distances.",
"While the concept of 3D chips has so far remained behind the closed doors of tech research labs, Tabula has developed a technique that makes a single level chip respond in the same way as a 3D chip.",
"Tabula’s chip cycles between eight different layouts at speeds of up to 1.6Ghz – an impressive speed for a reprogrammable chip.",

"U.S. foreign policy in Latin America can be summarized from any high school textbook.",
"In the earliest part of the nineteenth century, as Latin American nations asserted their independence from Spain, the United States insituted the Monroe Doctrine.",
"This doctrine stated that the United States would seek to dissuade European involvement in the Americas.",
"At the time, no one could have conceived that the United States would swiftly grow during the nineteenth century into an industrial and economic powerhouse.",
"Before the Civil War, the U.S. had already conquered or annexed land from Mexico and by 1880, the United States developed a policy that sought to open up trade in Latin America (Lens and Zinn, 2003).",
"Later, Theodore Roosevelt expanded the Monroe Doctrine with his Corrolary to the Monroe Doctrine which further asserted American rights to intervene in Latin America.",
"The turn of the Twentieth Century therefore witnessed both militaristic intervention and economic infiltration of Latin American markets.",
"American corporations seeking sources of raw materials and new markets eventually helped create a dependency economy in Latin America.",
"The U.S. regularly sent troops to protect economic interests during this period leading no doubt to some resentment which simmers to this day."

"The computer virus that blackmails youRansomware is the fastest growing form of computer malware, experts warn.",
"It's a malicious virus that locks the user out of their computer and demands a fee to return their files.",
"A report published by the Australian government claims 72% of businesses surveyed experienced ransomware incidents in 2015.",
"The figure was just 17% in 2013 .",
"It's also a growing threat for mobile devices as it can be hidden in an app, says Gert-Jan Schenk, vice-president at internet security company Lookout.",
"\"For the most part, we've seen ransomware delivered through drive-by downloads - it pretends to be a popular app, increasing the chances that you'll click on it,\" he explains.",
"\"To avoid these threats, users should be very careful about what apps they install, and where they come from - read the reviews on Google Play, and avoid side-loading from untrusted sources.",
"\"How does it work?",
"Like most computer viruses, ransomware often arrives in the form of a phishing email, or spam, or a fake software update - and the recipient clicks a link or opens an attachment.",
"The virus then sets to work encrypting the user's files.",
"Once the computer is effectively locked down, it demands a fee - often in bitcoins because it is less easy to trace - for the return of the files.",
"The fee is generally one or two bitcoins - the equivalent of about $500 (£330).",
"It is less common now, but in the earlier days of the malware - about five years ago - the ransom note could take the form of a law enforcement notice.",
"The user was directed to a web page that appeared to be from, for example, the FBI, falsely claiming illegal images of children had been been found on the machine and a fine was payable.",
"There is generally a time limit to comply, after which the ransom increases.",
"Is there any way to get round it?",
"Sometimes it is just a threat, but mostly the virus really does encrypt files.",
"The only way to retrieve your files without paying the ransom is to go to a backed-up version.",
"Neil Douglas, from Edinburgh-based IT company Network Roi, has just helped a small business client whose server was hit by ransomware.",
"\"We had to recover everything from back-up.",
"We'd had a back-up two minutes before the infection, so the timing couldn't have been any better - but it did result in quite a bit of downtime,\" he says.",
"\"You could risk paying them - but it's a bit like paying a blackmailer.",
"We would only recommend it as a last resort.",
"\"You don't know whether they'll come back for more, you don't know that they'll clear the infection.",
"\"Cybersecurity expert Prof Alan Woodward says paying also leaves you vulnerable to further cybercrime.",
"\"As soon as you pay up, you get on a suckers' list and you'll probably get contacted again,\" he says.",
"\"It's low-hanging fruit for the criminals.",
"\"Do many people pay?",
"While all the expert advice is, of course, not to pay, plenty of people do - even those you would least expect to.",
"Tewksbury Police, in the US, admitted they had paid up when their main server had been attacked and locked down at the end of last year.",
"\"Nobody wants to negotiate with terrorists.",
"Nobody wants to pay terrorists,\" Police Chief Timothy Sheehan told the town's local paper.",
"\"We did everything we possibly could.",
"\"It was an eye-opening experience, I can tell you right now.",
"It made you feel that you lost control of everything.",
"\"Paying the bitcoin ransom was the last resort.",
"\"Ransomware is lucrative for criminals because so many victims pay rather than face the shame of false accusations - or like the police department, they just desperately need their files.",
"\"Some companies have set up bitcoin accounts in case it happens to them,\" says Prof Woodward.",
"\"I would recommend that nobody ever pays up.",
"\"The only way to deal with it is to be sure you have a virus checker and back up.\"",
"Who is behind it?",
"\"It tends to be organised crime,\" says Prof Woodward.",
"\"They do make millions out of it.",
"It's opportunistic...",
"they just try it on everybody.",
"You keep third parties out of it - the bank isn't involved.",
"\"Recent research by Palo Alto Networks and industry partners suggested one family of ransomware known as Crypto Wall had generated about $325m (£215m) for the gang behind it.",
"\"In the volume cybercrime space, ransomware is one of the most prolific problems we face,\" Greg Day, chief security officer for Europe at Palo Alto Networks, told the BBC last month.",
"\"Credit card theft is getting to the point where the value of each card is very low.",
"As a result, ransomware has stepped into that gap and gives a higher value for each victim.\""

"The ThingLink app will allow you to layer information – assigning text or an image or a video to a base image.",
"For the geographer this is amazing.",
"Consider the ability to add labels and videos of coastline formation to an image of a particular stretch of coast.",
"What about taking an screenshot of a map or satellite image and then adding text, video and images to this in the correct location?",
"After all, one of our major issues in geography is enabling students to understand the significance of location.",
"Even better, what about helping your students to do this as well?All they need is the app (free), an account (free) the original image, links to youtube and further images on their camera roll.",

"The Nile's waters increase in the summer due to the heavy rainfall that occurs in the tropical Ethiopian highlands.",
"In April, flooding begins in southern Sudan.",
"It is July before the floods reach Aswan, Egypt.",
"The river continues to rise until it peaks in mid-September.",
"In Cairo, the floods are delayed until October.",
"After the river has peaked, the levels fall quickly during November and December.",
"The Nile is at its lowest levels between March and May.",
"The annually recurring flooding now able to be controlled by means of the Aswan Dam.",
"The amount of flood water contributed by the various tributaries and lakes can be calculated by following the river from its multiple sources.",
"Starting with Lake Victoria, 812 billion cubic feet (23 billion cu. m.) is brought in by those rivers that drain into it, most notably the Kagera.",
"Evaporation helps to balance the water that drains into the lake and continues to Lake Albert.",
"The outflow from Lake Albert is around 918 billion cubic feet.",
"The White Nile's water supply remains steady throughout the year.",
"When the Nile is at its lowest levels throughout April and May, the White Nile actually supplies the river with over 80 percent of its water.",
"The White Nile's water supply remains constant as a result of the two water sources.",
"The first occurs when the rains from the East African Plateau arrive.",
"The second source results from the drainage of southwestern Ethiopia that flows into the Sobat and finally into the Nile.",
"The Blue Nile is somewhat responsible for the flooding that occurs in Egypt.",
"Two main tributaries originating in Ethiopia come together in The Sudan.",
"Their waters rush into the mainstream and the river levels start to rise in June, reaching their maximum level in Khartoum during early September.",
"The Atbara River carries the flow from the Ethiopian Plateau along with the Blue Nile.",
"These two flood at the same time.",
"However, the differences between the two help to offset one another somewhat.",
"The Blue Nile's stream is perennial in comparison to the Atbara, which turns into numerous pools during the dry season.",
"When the waters of the Blue Nile swell, the floodwaters continue their course and finally reach central Sudan in May.",
"By August the rivers level averages more than 20 feet at Khartoum.",
"Fortunately, when the Blue Nile is flooding it holds the White Nile back.",
"A large lake is formed and its flow is delayed.",
"South of Khartoum, the Jabal al-Awliya Dam has been built which increases the pooling effect.",
"When the flood on the Nile reaches its maximum flood stage, it flows into Lake Nasser with an average daily flow that can rise to 25.1 billion cubic feet.",
"This occurs in the later part of July or August.",
"At this stage the White Nile is responsible for contributing 10%, the Atbara for 20% and the Blue Nile for 70%.",
"Finally, the river's flow decreases in May.",
"It is interesting to note that 85% of Lake Nasser's water originates on the Ethiopian Plateau, the remaining 15% coming from the East African Lake Plateau.",
"Because of its location in a very hot, dry region, the lake loses 10% of its volume annually through evaporation.",

"The numbers are truly shocking.",
"It is estimated well over 35 million people in the US are suffering with food allergies.",
"One of the fastest growing forms of allergic reactions in the US are food sensitivities and food allergies.",
"But food allergies and food intolerances are two very different things.",
"A food allergy is an antibody reaction – best described as an immune system response to a food your body sees as a parasite or pathogen.",
"A food intolerance, on the other hand, is an inability to digest a certain food usually caused by an enzyme deficiency.",
"A great example of this is celiac disease which is caused by a sensitivity to gluten, a wheat protein.",
"Over 20% of Americans suffer with celiac disease.",
"Another popular intolerance is lactose intolerance.",
"People who are lactose intolerant may experience cramping, bloating and diarrhea of an allergy reaction, however the symptoms are due to an inability to digest milk sugar due to an enzyme deficiency.",
"Lactose intolerance affects over 30-50 million North Americans, over 75% of African Americans and over 90% of Asian Americans.",
"I don’t recommend anyone ever drink cow milk.",
"But, I believe these numbers speak for themselves when I say that it seems something needs to change in today’s diet… Yes?",
"So, how do you know if you have food intolerance or food allergy?",
"Well, it is important to know that food allergies may be inherited.",
"Over 3 million children in the US have food allergies.",
"A child is twice as likely to develop food allergies if one parent has them, and four times as likely if both parents have them.",
"Unfortunately, food allergies are common in children.",
"Why?",
"Because many parents are feeding babies meats and commercial dairy foods before 10-12 months of age.",
"Parents.",
"Listen up.",
"Babies do not have the right enzymes to digest these kinds of foods.",
"Feeding a child mother’s breast milk, organic soy milk, or goat’s milk for the first year will avoid food allergies and help a child’s immune system be nice and strong.",
"Did you also know that 90% of food reactions are caused by the protein found in cow’s milk, corn, eggs, peanuts, coffee, wheat, and mushrooms?",
"What’s the problem here?",
"Thing is these foods might seem healthy, but most times they are over treated and heavily sprayed; and in the case of animal products, they are highly injected with antibiotics and hormones.",
"Here are the 12 signs that indicate you, or your child, may have a food allergy or food intolerance:",
"1- Do you get headaches that are cyclical accompanied by mental fuzziness or blurred vision after eating?",
"2- Do you find it a struggle to eat normal amounts of food?",
"Are you nauseous or feel the desire to vomit after eating?",
"3- Do you suffer with CFIDS – Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?",
"4- Do you get watery, itchy eyes; a runny nose, sweating, hives, or heart palpitations after eating?",
"5- Do you get rashes, puffiness around the eyes, with seating and heart palpitations after eating?",
"6- Have you noticed unexplained weight gain although your diet has remained the same?",
"7- Do you experience heartburn, stomach cramps, or gas with severe abdominal swelling after eating?",
"8- Do you have low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), low thyroid (hypothyroidism), or osteoarthritis?",
"9- Do you have IBS – Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn’s Disease, or go back and forth with bouts of constipation and chronic diarrhea?",
"10- Does your infant suffer with colic?",
"11- Does your child have constant challenges with congestion and chronic ear infections?",
"12- Does your child wet the bed?",
"Is your child fussy, irritable, look flushed in the face and ear lobes, or is hyperactive after eating?",
"If the answers have been yes to 3 or more of these questions, consider you or your child, may be suffering with a sensitivity or allergy to certain food additives or foods.",
"What to do?",
"Food elimination and natural herbal therapy programs have proven to help sufferers overcome these uncomfortable allergies and sensitivities to regain a healthy, normal life again.",

"- Food and Cooking»- Cooking Ingredients10 Differences Between Brown Rice and White RiceFiguring out what to eat can be really confusing in modern times.",
"On the one hand, we are privy to lots of information about what is goodfor us and what isn’t.",
"On the other hand, the information we get is sometimes conflicting.",
"For example, should we be eating brown rice or white rice?",
"Manypeople have some inkling of an idea that brown rice is supposed to be better for them than white rice is.",
"However, most of us don’t really know what the difference is between brown and white rice other than the colors we perceive them to be.",
"You can gain a better understanding of which rice is right for you by learning more about the differences between brown rice and white rice.",
"Here’s a look at ten of those differences:1.",
"Brown rice is a natural whole grain rice that is either un-milled or partially milled whereas white rice as been milled.",
"In the milling process, just the husk is removed from brown rice grains.",
"The husk is also removed from white rice grains but so are the next 1-2 layers beneath the husk.",
"2. Brown rice tends to be less starchy than white rice.",
"This is because the milling process reveals the starchier part of the grain with white rice.",
"This means that white rice is stickier than brown rice (and easier to eat with chopsticks!)3. Brown rice has greater nutritional value than white rice.",
"The process of milling white rice means that several nutrients, minerals and vitamins are removed from the rice.",
"B vitamins, vitamin E, iron, magnesium, fatty acids and fiber may be lost in the milling process.",
"Some white rice is enriched which means that these nutrients are returned to the food but brown rice in general has higher nutritional value in terms of these things than white rice does.",
"4.",
"Brown rice is less likely to make you constipated.",
"The excess fiber in brown rice means that it helps out people who are constipated.",
"In contrast, people who have weak digestive / gastrointestinal systems may find that brown rice causes things to flow just a little bit too much for their comfort.",
"In the case of people with a damaged or sensitive gastrointestinal system, white rice might be the better choice.",
"5. Brown rice is more difficult for babies to process.",
"For the same reasons that brown rice makes adults less constipated, it can be harder on the systems of babies that are just beginning to eat solid food.",
"It is sometimes recommended that white rice be introduced before brown rice for this reason.",
"6. Brown rice may lower your cholesterol whereas white rice does not.",
"Brown rice contains the rice bran oil that is lost to processing with white rice.",
"This oil has been shown in animal studies to have potential cholesterol-lowering benefits.",
"It is not certain whether or not brown rice really does help to lower cholesterol but the potential seems to be there whereas it’s not at all likely with white rice.",
"7. Brown rice is better for the earth.",
"It has been argued that the additional steps that are required to process white rice make it a less environmentally conscious food than brown rice is.",
"The extra milling along with the process of enriching require energy.",
"The more energy we use, the harder we’re being on the earth.",
"Brown rice is a greener food.",
"8.",
"Uncooked brown rice won’t last as long.",
"That extra processing that makes white rice does have some benefits.",
"The most significant of those benefits is the fact that uncooked white rice will last longer in storage than uncooked brown rice will.",
"In either case, you’ll want to seal up your uncooked rice and store it properly.",
"9.",
"Brown rice has more fat than white rice.",
"Although they have approximately the same amount of calories, white rice is lower in fat content than brown rice is.",
"Do note that the fat that you’re getting rid of is “good fat”, though.",
"10.",
"Brown rice takes a little bit longer to cook.",
"Brown rice is firmer than white rice and it takes longer to cook it to a firmness that is palatable to the mouth.",
"The length of time varies depending on the specific type of rice that you get but in general you’ll spend a short bit more time cooking brown rice."

"Goats undoubtedly existed in eighteenth century England.",
"Since they ate anything, provided milk and a very sturdy skin, even the poorest of the rural poor aimed to have one.",
"But perhaps because of their low status, they did not attract much attention from the Improvers.",
"Anyway, there's not much said about goats until the late 1870's, when the possibility of goat hair in textile production was seriously investigated.",
"As far as I know, no goats in Jane Austen, either.",
"(Prove me wrong, somebody!)",
"Nevertheless, Shiels, in his exhaustive paintings of British livestock, came up with this life-size painting of two Welsh Goats, some time before 1842.",
"It didn't make the fashionable print-books of his works, though.",
"Pity.",
"My personal experience of English goats is that they are resourceful, rather grumpy around strangers, and give a good product for great cheese.",
"Their coats are wonderfully silky, too."

"Does Your Dog Have An Ear Infection?13 December, 2011Now that winter is here, both dogs and cats can get different ailments.",
"However, it is very common in dogs to get ear infections.",
"And, even more specifically, dogs with floppy ears rather than those who have ears that stick up are more prone to infection.",
"When dogs with floppy ears have bacteria or yeast in the canals, it gets mixed with wax creating an infection.",
"Sometimes swimming, bathing or humidity can cause excessive moisture to become trapped in the ears.",
"If your dog is scratching his ears a lot and you find any of the following, it could be indicative of an ear infection.",
"1.",
"Discharge that is wet, oily, and brown, bloody, or yellow in color2.",
"Redness and swelling of the ears; crust or scab near the ear flaps.",
"3. Hair loss around the ears from scratching.",
"4.",
"Your dog shakes his heads a lot and tilts it.",
"If your dog does any of the above and you think he or she might have an ear infection, you should take your dog to see your veterinarian.",
"Your vet can take a sample of the discharge, look into the canal, and see if it is an infection or parasites, or just a waxy ear.",
"Your vet will often prescribe a common treatment which includes a good cleaning and flushing of the ears followed by medication and wiping of the ears for a number of days.",
"Your vet may recommend that you clean your dog’s ears regularly and try to keep them dry to prevent a repeat infection.",
"Some dogs have a lot of hair that grows around the opening of the canals and you should try to remove or cut that hair on a regular basis.",
"Your vet or a groomer can gently remove the fur if you are unable to do it.",
"Some dogs are easy-going about it and others won’t let you near their ears.",
"There are many products available at your local pet store for cleaning your dog’s ears.",
"Some are oily while others are dry.",
"Ask your vet which kind would be best for your dog.",
"Remember that even though dogs tend to let us know when they are uncomfortable, there are those moments when they don’t.",
"It’s up to us to remember to be good owners and check their ears, teeth, and paws on a regular basis.",
"Good luck if they have an ear infection and even if they don’t, lets keep their ears clean!"

"Osmosis occurs when a solvent moves through a semi-permeable membrane to dilute a solute that is not able to permeate the membrane.",
"The process is essential for the transport of water across biological membranes in living organisms.",
"Continue ReadingIn the process of osmosis, a less concentrated solvent moves through a semi-permeable membrane into a more concentrated solvent.",
"The most common solvent is water.",
"In animal cells, salt is not able to move in or out of the cellular membrane.",
"In order to maintain the cell's health, water moves in and out of the cell through the process of osmosis, diluting the cellular salt level.",
"The process of osmosis can be observed during the rehydration of dried fruits and vegetables.",
"While plant cells are not identical to animal cells, both cell types have a semi-permeable cell wall or membrane.",
"After placing a dehydrated piece of fruit into a bowl of water, there is a change in the fruit as the water permeates the cell walls.",
"Prior to the process of osmosis, the dehydrated fruit has a large concentration of sugars.",
"Once water permeates the cell walls, re-hydrating the fruit, the sugars in the fruit are less concentrated.",
"Through osmosis, a state of equilibrium is achieved.",

"Why buy local?",
"Local food tastes better.",
"By buying local, you are receiving the freshest possible produce, picked just hours before delivery to your local store.",
"Produce that travels long distances is days older.",
"Sugars turn to starches, plant cells shrink, and produce loses its vitality and flavor.",
"Local food is more nutritious.",
"Once harvested, produce quickly loses nutrients.",
"Since local produce is sold right after it’s picked, it retains more nutrients.",
"Local food preserves genetic diversity.",

"No amount of preparation can prevent a disaster from happening.",
"When a disaster strikes, the IT department is mostly tasked with assisting the entire business to rise and resume its usual operations.",
"In the past few years, almost every functional part of an organization has come to depend on the entire or part of the IT infrastructure.",
"From data storage to managing human resources, no essential business process can run without the technology which it relies on.",
"Organizations rarely get a heads up that a disaster is ready to strike.",
"Even if an organization has some lead time, some things can go wrong.",
"What businesses need to understand is that every disaster is unique and happens in the most unexpected ways.",
"This is where business continuity and disaster recovery solutions come into play.",
"For a business to recover from a disaster, it needs to put a current, tested plan in the hands of professionals with the ability to implement any part of that plan.",
"The lack of such plans doesn’t mean that your business will take longer to recover from a disaster.",
"Rather, it means the possibility of going out of business for good is real.",
"How is business continuity planning different from disaster recovery?",
"Business continuity (BC) is the process of maintaining or quickly resuming critical business functions in case of a major disaster.",
"A disaster can be caused by floods, fires, epidemics or cyber-attacks.",
"A business continuity plan (BCP) clearly outlines the procedures and instructions which a business should follow in the event of a disaster.",
"An effective BCP covers an organization’s assets, processes, partners and human resources, among others.",
"Many people think that a disaster recovery plan (DRP) plays the same role as a business continuity plan.",
"However, DRP concentrates primarily on restoring the IT infrastructure of a business after a disaster.",
"As a matter of fact, it is a part of a business continuity plan, as BCP focuses on the continuity of the entire business.",
"BCP helps to get the business functionalities up and running so that the business can continue to make money right after a disaster.",
"For example, when the building which houses your customer service has been flattened by an earthquake, you will need to come up with ways for those reps to continue handling customer calls.",
"This means they can either work from home or from a separate location.",
"This is a part of business continuity planning, not disaster recovery.",
"The central role of ITAs we have seen above, IT is at the center of almost all business processes, and for that reason, it is at the center of BCP.",
"Consequently, organizations have an obligation to everyone they serve to develop strategies capable of handling any disaster which comes their way.",
"If an organization doesn’t know how to address such situations, it risks losing everything.",
"One way of preparing for a disaster is ensuring that your data center has at least two backups.",
"It doesn’t matter whether your data is stored internally or externally, it is good to ensure that the data is backed up in a different location.",
"Just as crucial is the need to have a standby server which mirrors your critical applications.",
"BCP would be incomplete without clear means of ensuring all areas of the organization can access these applications whenever needed after a disaster strikes."

"When caught in their earliest stages, treatment is fairly straightforward and successful, notes WebMD.",
"Early detection can be difficult, however, since symptoms do not usually develop for years.",

"When David Eagleman was 8 years old, he went exploring.",
"He found a house under construction -- prime territory for an adventurous kid -- and he climbed on the roof to check out the view.",
"But what looked like the edge of the roof was just tar paper, and -- you can feel it coming -- when David stepped on it, he fell.",
"David was fine.",
"But between whoosh and the thud, something odd happened.",
"As David remembers it, he noticed every detail of his surroundings: the edge of the roof moving past him, the red bricks below moving toward him.",
"He even did a little literary analysis: \"I was thinking about Alice in Wonderland, how this must be what it was like for her, when she fell down the rabbit hole.",
"\"All of that happened in just 0.86 seconds.",
"David knows that now because he has calculated how long it takes to fall 12 feet.",
"David Eagleman is now Dr. Eagleman, a neuroscientist at Baylor College of Medicine, and one of his specialties is exploring how our brains perceive and understand time.",
"Several years ago, motivated in part by his childhood plunge, David started studying the way our sense of time distorts in crisis situations.",
"He has gathered a huge number of stories from people who have survived falls, car crashes, bike accidents, etc.",
"Everyone, he says, seems to say the same thing: \"It felt like the world was moving in slow motion.\"",
"But what is really going on?",
"David started to think that maybe, in a crisis, the brain goes into a sort of turbo mode, processing everything at higher-than-normal-speed.",
"If the brain were to speed up, he thought, the world would appear to slow down.",
"This would work just like a slow-motion movie; in a slow-mo shot of a hummingbird, for example, you can see each individual wing movement in what would otherwise be just a blur.",
"Taking The PlungeSo David decided to craft an experiment to study this \"slow-motion effect\" in action.",
"But to do that, he had to make people fear for their lives -- without actually putting them in danger.",
"His first attempt involved a field trip to Six Flags AstroWorld, an amusement park in Houston, Texas.",
"He used his students as his subjects.",
"\"We went on all of the scariest roller coasters, and we brought all of our equipment and our stopwatches, and had a great time,\" David says.",
"\"But it turns out nothing there was scary enough to induce this fear for your life that appears to be required for the slow-motion effect.",
"\"But, after a little searching, David discovered something called SCAD diving.",
"(SCAD stands for Suspended Catch Air Device.)",
"It's like bungee jumping without the bungee.",
"Imagine being dangled by a cable about 150 feet off the ground, facing up to the sky.",
"Then, with a little metallic click, the cable is released and you plummet backward through the air, landing in a net (hopefully) about 3 seconds later.",
"SCAD diving was just what David needed -- it was definitely terrifying.",
"But he also needed a way to judge whether his subjects' brains really did go into turbo mode.",
"So, he outfitted everybody with a small electronic device, called a perceptual chronometer, which is basically a clunky wristwatch.",
"It flashes numbers just a little too fast to see.",
"Under normal conditions -- standing around on the ground, say -- the numbers are just a blur.",
"But David figured, if his subjects' brains were in turbo mode, they would be able to read the numbers.",
"The Time BlurThe falling experience was, just as David had hoped, enough to freak out all of his subjects.",
"\"We asked everyone how scary it was, on a scale from 1 to 10,\" he reports, \"and everyone said 10.\"",
"And all of the subjects reported a slow-motion effect while falling: they consistently over-estimated the time it took to fall.",
"The numbers on the perceptual chronometer?",
"They remained an unreadable blur.",
"\"Turns out, when you're falling you don't actually see in slow motion.",
"It's not equivalent to the way a slow-motion camera would work,\" David says.",
"\"It's something more interesting than that.",
"\"According to David, it's all about memory, not turbo perception.",
"\"Normally, our memories are like sieves,\" he says.",
"\"We're not writing down most of what's passing through our system.\"",
"Think about walking down a crowded street: You see a lot of faces, street signs, all kinds of stimuli.",
"Most of this, though, never becomes a part of your memory.",
"But if a car suddenly swerves and heads straight for you, your memory shifts gears.",
"Now it's writing down everything -- every cloud, every piece of dirt, every little fleeting thought, anything that might be useful.",
"Because of this, David believes, you accumulate a tremendous amount of memory in an unusually short amount of time.",
"The slow-motion effect may be your brain's way of making sense of all this extra information.",
"\"When you read that back out,\" David says, \"the experience feels like it must have taken a very long time.\"",
"But really, in a crisis situation, you're getting a peek into all the pictures and smells and thoughts that usually just pass through your brain and float away, forgotten forever.",

"Well, consider the price that was paid in order for Hamlet to exact his revenge: Ophelia shunned, gone mad, then dying; good friends manipulated then murdered; Polonius mocked then murdered;",
"Laertes driven to murder and violence; and a mother reprimanded and killed.",
"In \"Hamlet\", the concept of revenge was much more noble and simple then the enacting of it.",
"If you are to exact revenge, at least be more efficient about it, for pete's sake!",
"But Hamlet wasn't-Shakespeare didn't write it that way, when he could have.",
"He could have written a nice, tidy, quick revenge tale, but didn't.",

"Can you imagine ‘I Have a Dream’ being spoken by someone besides Martin Luther King?",
"If it was anyone else delivering it, it wouldn’t have had the passion, power or resonance it did.",
"Most people know that the actual words you speak only account for a small amount of the impact you have.",
"Some studies have shown that body language can account for up to 55% of the message you convey, and voice tone can be another 38%.",
"Very often, we overlook voice tone and focus on gestures or posture.",
"Yet, the way you speak has a profound impact.",
"During the past year, I have been aiming to improve the quality of my voice tone in my speaking, and have learned about five ways to make more impact.",
"Every person has a natural pitch.",
"This is a place in the high-to-low spectrum they naturally speak at.",
"Typically women have a higher pitch than men, yet there are exceptions.",
"Speaking in the correct pitch makes you have more power and clarity in your voice.",
"Not speaking in the correct pitch will actually strain your voice and make you sound less resonant.",
"To find your pitch, you can do a simple exercise.",
"Say the words ‘uh huh’ a few times.",
"Listen to the pitch you use when you say ‘huh’.",
"Next, close your lips together and say ‘mmm hmmm’.",
"Wherever you feel your voice in your mouth is where you natural pitch sits.",
"Try speaking in this pitch as your ‘middle voice’.",
"You can go lower or higher at times, while having a steady middle that people recognize as your natural voice.",
"The speed at which you speak can have a big impact on your audience.",
"When we are very excited, or nervous there is a tendency to speak quicker.",
"There is also a pattern in younger generations where they are speaking faster than before.",
"While this may be acceptable in normal conversation, it doesn’t translate to the stage.",
"People need time to absorb each key point and running your words together confuses them.",
"As a rule, try speaking 30% slower than your normal pace.",
"If people say they can understand you better, try to keep that as your onstage pace.",
"In communication, there are different reasons we pause.",
"We can use it for affect after an important statement, or to build up the importance of what we say next.",
"If you run your sentences together or speak in sentences that are too long, you will start to lose your audiences’ attention.",
"People think in chunks of about 7 to 10 words.",
"Sentences longer than that make it difficult for your audience to completely absorb their previous thoughts.",
"Perhaps the most important reason to pause is because you need to breath.",
"You cannot speak while breathing in, it can only happen when you are breathing out.",
"Taking regular pauses lets you inhale more air, which improves your speaking voice.",
"The pronunciation of words is where different accents comes from.",
"Each region of the world teaches different ways to pronounce words.",
"When enough of these words are different, that creates a new dialect, or accent.",
"No way is right or wrong, they are just different.",
"However, depending on where you are speaking, it can make sense to check how a word is pronounced so your audience doesn’t get confused.",
"On another point, it is easy to get lazy with our pronunciation, especially when we are not conscious of it.",
"We can run words together, we can mumble, we can drop sounds out of words.",
"All these aspects make us seem less coherent and reduce our impact.",
"Crisp and clear pronunciation always adds a lot of value.",
"If you want an exercise to improve your pronunciation skills, try to this Radio Announcers Test from the 1940s.",
"Having a strong voice comes from having power in your diaphragm.",
"The stronger your lung capacity and ability to push air through your larynx, the better your voice will sound.",
"Singers have to work very hard to manage their breath when singing because this is essentially the engine of the vocals.",
"The same is true for speakers.",
"The more you work on your lung capacity, the better you will be able to use it in your speaking to project.",
"As a rule, try to speak a little louder than you normally would in front of an audience so that you develop more presence.",
"It may seem strange at first, but the audience won’t notice it.",
"Remember also that some people are hard of hearing and will appreciate the volume increase.",
"These 5 tips are simple, yet effective when you practice them.",
"My suggestion is to choose one specific area of your voice tone to work on during your next few speeches.",
"As you gain improvement, try for another one.",
"Over time you will notice your influence and impact improving."

"Calcium itself doesn’t carry a taste, but it doesn’t hurt that the foods that contain it are favoured by the majority of the population.",
"Cheese, milk and fruit always have our vote.",
"Calcium plays a vital role in a variety of body functions, such as blood clotting, muscle contraction and impulse transmission.",
"About 99% of the calcium in your body is stored in your skeletal system, but when your plasma calcium concentration becomes low, your body draws calcium from your bones.",
"When your calcium levels fall, the parathyroid hormone is released, which catalyses the creation of calcitriol.",
"Calcitriol, a form of vitamin D, causes bone resorption, where the bones release their calcium to the rest of the body.",
"When calcium levels in the serum regain normalcy, this cycle is cut short and bone density is restored.",
"Menopause sometimes creates a calcium deficit within the body because of a drop in oestrogen.",
"When oestrogen reduces, the body’s ability to retain calcium from food decreases, and the result is calcium deficiency.",
"If you’re 40 or over, you may want to start taking calcium supplements to maintain bone mass, arrest calcium depletion and ward off osteoporosis.",
"The recommended intake of calcium for women above forty is 1,000 milligrams per day.",
"Typically, your bone mass peaks when you’re between 25 and 35, and starts falling after that.",
"It’s after 35 that your body needs help with maintaining calcium levels.",
"Cue, calcium supplements.",
"In addition to calcium, premenopausal and postmenopausal women have an increased need for vitamin D, because it helps with calcium absorption into the bloodstream.",
"Vitamin D is normally produced sufficiently by the skin itself, but with age, the ability of the skin to produce the sunshine vitamin diminishes.",
"Like calcium, vitamin D can be taken through supplements, and a combination of the two can shield you from age-related surges in the parathyroid hormone and bone resorption.",
"Sometimes, despite having a well-balanced diet, you may still be prone to calcium deficiency.",
"This could be for a number of reasons.",
"If you consume high levels of salt and protein, for example, your kidneys may flush out calcium as a reflex.",
"Here, changing your diet to include less protein and salt, is advisable.",
"People who are lactose intolerant are also more susceptible to a deficiency of calcium.",
"This is because the lactase enzyme doesn’t break down the lactose found in dairy products well enough.",
"You can counter the effects of lactose intolerance with supplements, to ensure that your calcium levels are optimal.",

"When compared to the lead-acid or nickel-cadmium cells, these disadvantages are overweighed by the light weight, small size, and good electrical capacity of the silver-zinc cell.",
"The silver-zinc cell uses the same electrolyte as the nickel-cadmium cell (potassium hydroxide and water), but the anode and cathode differ from the nickel-cadmium cell.",
"The anode is composed of silver oxide and the cathode is made of zinc.",
"The silver-cadmium cell is a fairly recent development for use in storage batteries.",
"The silver-cadmium cell combines some of the better features of the nickel-cadmium and silver-zinc cells.",
"It has more than twice the shelf life of the silver-zinc cell and can be recharged many more times.",
"The disadvantages of the silver-cadmium cell are high cost and low voltage production.",
"The electrolyte of the silver-cadmium cell is potassium hydroxide and water as in the nickel-cadmium and silver-zinc cells.",
"The anode is silver oxide as in the silver-zinc cell and the cathode is cadmium hydroxide as in the nicad cell.",
"You may notice that different combinations of materials are used to form the electrolyte, cathode, and anode of different cells.",
"These combinations provide the cells with different qualities for many varied applications.",
"A battery is a voltage source that uses chemical action to produce a voltage.",
"In many cases the term battery is applied to a single cell, such as the flashlight battery.",
"In the case of a flashlight that uses a battery of 1.5 volts, the battery is a single cell.",
"The flashlight that is operated by 6 volts uses four cells in a single case and this is a battery composed of more than one cell.",
"There are three ways to combine cells to form a battery.",
"In many cases, a battery-powered device may require more electrical energy than one cell can provide.",
"The device may require either a higher voltage or more current, and in some cases both.",
"Under such conditions it is necessary to combine, or interconnect, a sufficient number of cells to meet the higher requirements.",
"Cells connected in SERIES provide a higher voltage, while cells connected in PARALLEL provide a higher current capacity.",
"To provide adequate power when both voltage and current requirements are greater than the capacity of one cell, a combination SERIES-PARALLEL network of cells must be used.",

"Today we enabled mod_deflate on Apache (the primary algorithm used in ZIP and gzip).",
"This allows for compression of our web pages prior to being sent to the client.",
"Virtually all web browsers now support compression, so it seems absurd not to use it.",
"Web pages, being text, are highly compressible - often achieving 70-80% compression ratios with lossless LZ77/LZSS derivatives like deflate.",
"With fast CPUs, the compression overhead is extremely low.",
"Decompression on the client end is of course even more rapid than compression.",
"The reduction in transfer time far outweighs the cost of compression.",
"Want to test to see if your favorite web site uses compression, and how much time and bandwidth are saved?",
"Some web browsers will tell you, but I discovered this little online tool that may make it easy for you: http://www.gidnetwork.com/tools/gzip-test.php .",
"Testing a few sites, it seems that the IIS community (our server was IIS before switching to linux) has still not adopted compression, despite IIS supporting it as of v6.0 [ref].",
"There could be a technical or backwards compatibility reason for this, though I'm not aware of it.",
"Of course, Apache has supported compression for many years via mod_deflate.",
"I believe it was the first major server to implement it.",
"It took a little time for all browsers to support it, but in the case of browsers that don't, the content is simply sent uncompressed (plaintext).",
"Support of compression is indicated in the headers the browser supplies to the web server, specifically the Accept-Encoding parameter",
"[see your browser headers].",
"It is true that some WAN connections compress data themselves.",
"Telephony modems for instance long ago implemented on-the-fly streaming compression and error correction (using things like hamming code).",
"Most modern cable and ADSL modems support compression and error correction as well.",
"However, this compression is done by your ISP, meaning the data spends most of its network life in uncompressed form, slowing the transfer.",
"One good side-effect of compression on the server end is that it turns plaintext into compressed data.",
"While it is not secure, it is not readable without decompressing the entire page.",
"This can help deter sniffing a little even for unencrypted connections.",
"Another benefit is that the browser will be sure to wait until the page is done transferring in its entirety before rendering it, making it appear to snap onto the screen.",
"Although most web browsers implement a load delay to achieve this same effect, you'll still often see the annoying page position adjustments as it renders the content as it comes in.",
"Note that when enabling mod_deflate or compression in IIS, you want to limit it to MIME types that are compressible.",
"While it *should* handle pre-compressed data like ZIP archives and most image formats fine, it will not be able to reduce their size, so it is only wasting CPU cycles.",
"In cases where the post-compressed data is larger than the original, I believe it emits an error indicating such and sends the original content.",
"However, I should note that during a few hours where I had mod_deflate enabled for all files, I got a report that downloaded ZIP archives were corrupt.",
"I couldn't reproduce this on my own systems, and I'm not sure what browser the client was using.",
"Never-the-less, one should be cautious.",
"In the end, if your favorite site isn't using compression -- encourage them to do so.",
"Why in the world wouldn't they?"

"Recent studies show the opposite is more likely to be the case.",
"Caffeine, one of the main ingredients in coffee, has long been known to be a mild stimulant.",
"That can raiseblood pressure, increase heart rate and produce the occasional irregular beat.",
"But most researchers now believe theeffect is mild and short-lived.",
"By contrast, the emerging data about the health benefits of coffee consumption arenumerous and diverse.",
"Coffee Health BenefitsThere's strong evidence that coffee reduces the odds of developing colon cancer, but only at higher levels ofconsumption - four cups a day or more.",
"That much intake may well outweigh the benefits.",
"But other benefits accrue even at moderate levels of coffee drinking.",
"Coffee, like wine, contains antioxidants that help prevent heart disease and certain cancers by removingcell-destroying oxygen radicals from the blood.",
"Some studies say the concentration of antioxidants is greater thanthat found in cranberries, apples or tomatoes.",
"Scientists, however, point to the many other valuable vitamins,minerals and fibers in fruits and vegetables.",
"Apart from the obvious contribution to mental alertness, Chinese studies strongly suggest that coffee can evenhelp reduce the effects of Parkinson's disease.",

"The main point of the practice isn’t just to take deep breaths.",
"It is usually used by the yoga practitioners to prepare for their meditation.",
"Breathing means an intake of oxygen that reaches the different parts of the body and it is turned into energy.",
"According to the yoga breathing, in the moment when we exhale, we get rid of the toxins.",
"Pranayama can help people achieve a balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen.",
"This is also a way of linking the mind, body and spirit.",
"Since people’s lives are filled with stress, they often neglect their breathing.",
"The truth regarding pranayama breathing is that the majority of people use only a small portion of their lungs’ capacity that leads to oxygen starvation, triggering health issues.",

"If you have systematic and controlled breathing, you could reenergize your body.",
"The breathing part of yoga consists of four stages.",
"The first one is Arambha.",
"This is the stage when a person gets interested in the practice.",
"The second stage is Ghata.",
"This means the merging of the three sariras to cover the soul.",
"These sariras are considered to be subtle, gross and casual.",
"The third stage of pranayama breathing is Parichay.",
"This is the stage when the practitioner already has knowledge about pranayama.",
"The last stage is Nispatti.",
"At this point the practitioner goes beyond the physical body and he or she gets united with the supreme.",
"The most important thing about this breathing style is that it teaches people the right way to breathe.",
"In the same time it also reduces the waste products and toxins of the human body.",
"Pranayama can also be helpful with digestion improving the metabolism.",
"Concentration and focus is also better when practicing pranayama.",

"When making computations, always make sure to follow the rules of the order of operations.",
"Rule 1 – The OrderIf any grouping symbols are present, such as parentheses, perform the operations inside the symbols first.",
"Then, evaluate expressions with exponents.",
"Next, multiply and divide from left to right.",

"It’s tedious and somewhat challenging for some.",
"The good news is, there is a mnemonic that can help you.",
"PEMDAS – Please Excuse",
"My Dear Aunt SallyIn PEMDAS, the “P” means parentheses, the “E” is for exponents, the “M” indicates multiplication, the “D” is for division, the “A” for adding, and “S” stands for subtraction.",
"You can use this even if you don’t see the operations successively in a problem.",
"Remember, if you see multiplication and division in a problem, you should do the operations from left to right.",

"Most business decisions are data-entangled decisions.",
"In these, existing or new data can play an important role compared to a personal decision, such as when to go to sleep.",
"A data-entangled decision in general follows three main phases when a business question, challenge, or opportunity presents itself.",

"Phase One: ReactionIn the reaction phase, the initial course is fashioned out of an immediate reaction to a threat or an opportunity.",
"Typically, some preliminary figures are accompanied by known assumptions that form the initial direction.",
"In this early stage, initial data is still “entangled” and only the requirement for additional information can be outlined.",
"In some cases, however, the decision may be already made and if so, the effort to gather additional data for further analysis becomes a futile exercise.",
"Phase Two: ValidationAdditional data produces opportunities for in-depth analysis, which should eventually lead to actionable insight.",
"But these results need to be validated first using some type of critical thinking.",
"Moreover, who validates the results is as critical as how it’s done.",
"Just as we don’t ask programmers to validate their own code, we don’t ask analysts or managers to validate their own conclusions of data.",
"If available or feasible, objective methods that can remove assumptions or personal deductions from this phase provide the fastest and clearest path to actionable insight.",
"Phase Three: ExecutionThe execution phase is where the final decision will be made and the use of data will be completely up to the person in charge of the decision.",
"There are three possibilities before the final decision is made and action is taken:- The conclusion is supported by data, and we choose to take it into account for our decision.-",
"The conclusion is supported by data, and we choose to ignore it.-",
"The conclusion isn’t or can’t be supported by data, and we are left to our own judgment to make the decision.",
"In business, better-informed decisions often start with a strong appetite for data, followed by a healthy dose of skepticism for it.",
"If available, our collective insight becomes the guiding light for our decisions enhanced by data.",
"In the absence of it—when we are left to decide by ourselves—we seek wisdom in our own experiences to fill the void where we can’t find or rely on data.",
"The bottom line is, we need to use data to support our arguments instead of using arguments to support our data.",
"And BI, if designed and implemented effectively, should be the framework that supports all of this by enabling us to make faster, better-informed decision at all levels of our organization.",
"This, in turn, helps us drive growth and profitability.",

"As educators, it is our role to create an environment conducive to high student engagement.",
"In my classroom, one way I have learned to maintain student interest in a subject is by putting them in the driver’s seat.",
"Developing quality STEM projects requires an investment from the student in their learning.",
"By giving students ownership of the content, they’ll be more motivated to learn.",
"Rather than asking students to memorize abstract concepts, STEM-based projects allow students to solve problems in the context of the real world.",
"Using real-world problems answers the commonly asked question, “Why is this important, especially if I can Google it?”",
"However, as educators embarking on a new way to approach lessons, we have to reverse our ways of planning with the end in mind.",
"STEM-based projects cannot be planned in a traditional format where teachers have a specific end goal for students to reach.",
"I have discovered that learning with STEM is a journey, and it cannot be confined to preconceived barriers.",
"When launching a quality STEM project, consider the following four components:1.",
"A Driving QuestionWhat part of our curricula is most attractive to our students?",
"This answer will be different depending on each and every student.",
"Structuring the lesson around a driving question will direct the path of your students’ learning.",
"A driving question can be around a real world phenomenon or a topic students have some knowledge of, but want to explore further.",
"Some driving questions I have used in my classroom include, “How have human choices impacted the environment?”",
"and “How can we help reverse the effects of pollution on our local environment?”2.",
"Solve A ProblemProblem-based learning creates a context for students to relate their knowledge to the problems of the real world.",
"Solving a problem helps to instill a confidence in students that they can impact change.",
"I have found this success is incredibly rewarding to students.",
"It piques their interest and cultivates curiosity in the solutions to other real-world problems.",
"3. Opportunities to RedesignTeaching and learning with a question in mind takes patience and effort.",
"Students need opportunities and time to process feedback and use the feedback to reflect, revise, and refine their work.",
"This cycle will highlight areas that can be improved through redesign.",
"For example, I have former students tasked with designing rain barrel models to help conserve water and limit runoff pollution.",
"After building their initial model, students tested their model with water.",
"Several groups noted some leaky areas and used this evidence to redesign the next version of their rain barrel model.",
"4.",
"Multiple Assessment MethodsDriving questions lend themselves to a variety of assessment methods.",
"One student’s findings may be represented using a Google Slides presentation, while another student may need to create a physical model to explain his work.",
"In an increasingly digitally dependent world, many students are more engaged and comfortable with using digital technology to share their knowledge.",
"Both methods are acceptable as long as the same criteria for success are used to assess each project.",
"A sample criteria for success may be:•",
"The project accurately and appropriately answers the driving question.",
"•",
"The project shows deep understanding of the unit concept.",
"•",
"The project includes a minimum of two cited research sources.",
"STEM projects can be daunting, but they don’t need to be.",
"A driving question hooks your students and pulls their learning into a real world format.",
"STEM projects facilitate connections to be made in the journey of learning rather than at the beginning or end of an instructional sequence.",
"This sense of ownership helps to build the 21st century learners that are leading our future."
