In the sudsy new thriller The Birthday Girl, novelist Melissa De La Cruz details what happens when the friends (and frenemies) of protagonist Ellie de Florent-Stinson gather in the desert for the fashion mogul’s October birthday weekend. De La Cruz recounts the real-life hot spots that inspired her to feature them in the novel.
Indian Canyons Golf Course
In my book, Ellie lives in the house we used to own across from the north golf course. When our daughter was in preschool, we would drive out to the desert on Thursday afternoons and have dinner at the restaurant every night. It was like stepping back into the 1950s. It’s closed now, but the south dining room is still open for breakfast, lunch, and brunch.
Ace Hotel & Swim Club
We chanced upon drag queen bingo here one Monday night. Shirley, the host, hands out cards to everyone. She sings and makes jokes, and a good time is had by all. The food at the King’s Highway restaurant is great, too. Ellie must, of course, host her after-party during drag queen bingo in my book. It’s a Palm Springs classic!
Las Casuelas Nuevas
There are Las Casuelas locations in downtown Palm Springs, but — like me — Ellie prefers the larger one in Rancho Mirage. The courtyard is festive, the margaritas huge, and the food bountiful. Every dinner there is an outdoor party; it puts you in a good mood.
Parker Palm Springs
Ellie puts her guests up at the Parker. It’s a hotel with a cheeky sense of humor and an international, beautiful crowd. The people watching is always fun. Before we bought our house, we’d hotel hop. Besides the Parker, we loved The Lodge at Rancho Mirage, now The Ritz-Carlton.

With the advent of new learning systems, freeing everyone from the tedium and misery of traditional classroom learning models, training has taken on a new life, and one in which it is much less maligned. So many new models, such as cooperative learning, have come around and proven much better for everyone involved. But, people find cooperative learning strategies mystifying for some reason.
As we’ll explain in another piece soon, cooperative learning is just organizational learning with a focus on the social aspect as a priority. This means that for the most part, it doesn’t call for any special thinking with strategies.
Same Old Thing:
Yeah, cooperative learning strategies aren’t that unique, though I suppose in the case of cooperative models, you’ll tweak your organizational strategies to play along with that uniquely increased focus on social interaction and teamwork.
A Bit of the New:
One thing that’s actually a good idea to do is to inject a little spice into this with some slightly new thinking. Cooperative learning, at its core, is cooperation among students to learn off of and teach one another, balancing each individual’s strengths and weaknesses.
This is fantastic, but if you bring in some flipped classroom approaches to handling teacher role and hierarchy, it will flow better and more naturally. Confidence will be higher, just knowing you are there to back them no matter how weird it gets.
Along with improved confidence and flow, your dynamic, variable role also means that you can better implement gamification, which is a splendid strategy for cooperation.
A True Gamified Model:
So, let’s look at the model we can get from this new stuff augmenting a cooperative model.
Those familiar with old tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons will recognize the role of the “DM”, the arbitrator who tells the story, controls the enemies and obstacles, and enforces these rules on the players.
Well, now you can do this in your training. Gamification in mass use right now isn’t a deep application of it, it’s just a steeper competitive flipped classroom.
That’s good and all, but gamification is about more than just skinner box engagement. It’s about making it engaging and fun, an actual game. So, you can be creative, set up a world with a story to tell, with a goal that can be achieved only by the students cooperatively learning together and helping one another through it.
In stead of grades, they have levels and skills, and in stead of tests, they are confronted with enemies. I’ve seen this done, and it works magnificently. The secret’s the flipped classroom role of the teacher, so they can be that game operator and arbitrator.
Other Strategies:
There are some other strategies out there, because any organizational model strategy can work in cooperative learning just fine, as long as it’s tweaked to focus on the cooperation appropriately.
So, I just saved you a whole lot of time searching for cooperative learning strategies by making you aware of that, because I sure wasn’t. On top of that, we have this awesome new kind of gamification I mentioned above to play with now. When training becomes an exercise of creativity and engagement, everyone’s happier.

Scientists from the University of Suzhou, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai University of Technology and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have developed a new method of manufacturing printed electronics that allows you to create electronic devices with extremely low power consumption and an unusual way of charging – with light and radio waves. According to TechXplore, the approach will make it easier to integrate smart devices into small objects, the environment and even the human body.
The new technology is based on an ambitious thin-film transistor made of carbon nanotubes as the main semiconductor. Scientists explain that the ambipolarity of the chip involves the use of one semiconductor material to carry both negative and positive electrical charges in “deep subthreshold conductivity”. The latter term means that transistors operate at ultra low operating voltages and with minimal power consumption.
According to scientists, electronic circuits made with the new technology can be powered by standard AA batteries for several million years, so little power they consume.
“Our approach to printed electronics can be expanded to create inexpensive, battery-free devices that collect energy from the environment, such as sunlight or electromagnetic waves generated by our cell phones and Wi-Fi-stations,” explains one of the study supervisors, Vincenzo Pecunia.
The scientists do not name specific plans for a new type of printed electronics, but point out that the technology can be used to develop standalone systems, biomedical devices, smart homes and the Internet of Things ecosystem.

March 2nd excerpt:
With something that strange going on, it was assumed that the still-human-sized human would be coming to the village to investigate. Even so, when the duffel clattered loudly to the ground, the noise did cause a few sprites to falter in surprise, sending Dean stern looks before going about their business again. It was doubtful anyone missed his walking up, but giant steps were easier to ignore knowing the giants were safe.
But really, that had been loud.
Definitely loud enough that Jacob, who was back in Bowman’s house, had no doubts that his friends had arrived.

The Blue Star Fern is an easy houseplant that does well in low light conditions. This plant enjoys moist soil, so it is hard to overwater this fern. The foliage of this fern is a dusky green color making it an interesting addition to a room.
In this wild this fern grows on trees, using them for support but not drawing nutrients from them In this way it is similar to air plants and Christmas cactus.

We didn’t expect to find the same Apple-designed system-on-chip for Macs in an iPad, but here it is: the latest iPad Pro is equipped with the Apple M1, strictly the same as that of the Apple Silicon Macs released since last fall. The manufacturer has chosen the simplest solution from its point of view, by taking a chip already in its catalog instead of creating a new variant.
It made sense basically: the Apple M1 is based on the work done by the company for iOS devices and it is close to the Apple A14 of the iPhone 12 and the iPad Air 4. Despite everything, that wants say the iPad Pro has never been closer to a MacBook Air, or even a 24-inch iMac. Power wasn’t an issue with Apple’s high-end tablets, but this generation seems to be taking a new step.
To do what ? This is what we will see together in this review, which focuses on the 12.9 inch model!

When pale strangers enter fifteen-year-old Amari's village, her entire tribe welcomes them; for in her remote part of Africa, visitors are always a cause for celebration. But these strangers are not here to celebrate. They are here to capture the strongest, healthiest villagers and to murder the rest. They are slave traders. And in the time it takes a gun to fire, Amari's life as she's known it is destroyed, along with her family and village.Beaten, branded, and dragged onto a slave ship, Amari is forced to witness horrors worse than any nightmare and endure humiliations she had never thought possible -- including being sold to a plantation owner in the Carolinas who gives her to his sixteen-year-old son, Clay, as his birthday present. Now, survival and escape are all Amari dreams about. As she struggles to hold on to her memories in the face of backbreaking plantation work and daily degradation at the hands of Clay, she finds friendship in unexpected places. Polly, an outspoken indentured white girl, proves not to be as hateful as she'd first seemed upon Amari's arrival, and the plantation owner's wife, despite her trappings of luxury and demons of her own, is kind to Amari. But these small comforts can't relieve Amari's feelings of hopelessness and despair, and when an opportunity to escape presents itself, Amari and Polly decide to work together to find the thing they both want most...freedom. Grand and sweeping in scope, detailed and penetrating in its look at the complicated interrelationships of those who live together on a plantation, Copper Sun is an unflinching and unforgettable look at the African slave trade and slavery in America.

Clover mites can become an annoying household pest, especially in and around homes where new lawns are being established or where there’s a heavy growth of well-fertilized grass close to foundation walls.
The mites are very tiny creatures (smaller than a pin head) and may occur in countless numbers. Clover mites are often reddish in color and can be distinguished from other mites due to their unusually long front legs. These are twice as long as the other legs.
They usually appear first around windows, but later may occur throughout home. Clover mites do not bite people or cause structural damage indoors, but are extremely annoying and may leave a red stain when crushed.
Clover mites feed on grasses, clovers and certain other plants in the lawn and around the home. They often crawl into cracks and crevices to molt and lay eggs. Typical “hiding places” are under the loose bark of trees, on foundations, walls, beneath siding and around window frames. Clover mites are most abundant in the fall and spring and are relatively inactive during the hot summer months and again during cold weather. They migrate into homes either when populations become high or when feeding conditions become unfavorable, such as the onset of hot or cold weather.
CONTROL MEASURES
The following are preventive and control measures that have proven to be effective.

I don’t want to come across as being too woo-woo, but one of my favorite daily rituals is to receive Notes from the Universe by email.
My very first post nine months ago mentioned being
inspired by the universe, but I haven’t shared much about my personal reasons for dedicating so much time and energy into this blog
.
Writing helps me focus a portion of each day on creating a vision for my family, taking baby steps toward achieving our goals, and reflecting and sharing beyond myself. I don’t get many comments yet, so it’s hard for me to know how much my thoughts are rippling out into the world. But I have faith that by taking action, we will be rewarded with greater and greater abundance. I can also hope that eventually we will all be successful in achieving sustainable abundance.
I just finished reading Infinite Possibilities: The Art of Living Your Dreams. The insights and advice are both simple and profound, and I am determined to continue to apply them in my life. It’s brought to light some limiting thoughts of my own around money, because I realize that I’ve never seriously fantasized about being rich and always assumed that we would need to balance our budget and struggle to live within our means. It makes me even more aware of the unlimited power we have to define our values and live our lives toward our dreams.
Start today by doing what you can, from where you’re at with what you have.
Do you believe in the magic of creating your dreams?

Julius Caesar's Funeral Speech Analysis
He implies Caesar’s ambitions would cause Rome to diminish, which caused him to assassinate him. Antony, however, influences the individuals who surrounded him that Caesar was not ambitious and therefore Brutus and the Conspirators were not honorable men, in order to cause the common people to revolt against the Conspirators. Both Anthony and Brutus express their outlook on Caesar’s death, in order to persuade their audience to comprehend either of their point of views, however, Antony’s speech is ultimately superior to Brutus’s.

A massive comet called an atlas five times the size of Jupiter and about half the size of the sun will appear brighter than Venus from Earth by the end of April. But it has a much larger atmosphere.
According to the British newspaper “Daily Mail”, he is currently close to the orbit of Mars, but it is increasing in speed as it makes its way toward the sun, and will approach Earth in April.
As it turns toward the inner solar system, it will become one of the brightest things in the night sky.
Also, since it was first discovered in December, it has swelled The diameter of the invader surrounds the comet To an amazing diameter of 447,387 miles.
In contrast, the sun’s diameter is 865,370 miles, Jupiter’s diameter is 86,881 miles, and the Earth is only 7,917 miles.
But it does not pose any danger on Earth because even at its nearest point it will be more than 72 million miles away from the planet, but it will be very bright.
Michael Jager of Austria, who took pictures of the body, said that a comet has an atlas of a tail the same size as its atmosphere.
In what was discovered by the last warning system of the impact of asteroids (ATLAS) In Hawaii, taking its name from the initials of the system.
He was the last bright comet visible without a telescope in the northern hemisphere Hale-Bopp In 1997, this made a ‘rare event’ for astronomers.
And when it was discovered on December 28, 2019, it was dim and required a telescope, but as it approached it became brighter and can now be seen with binoculars.
Atlas is currently the largest green body in the solar system and its color comes from diatomic carbon, a molecule common to comets, and emits a beautiful green glow when it is in the form of gas in space.
It has seen a 4,000-fold increase in brightness since it was first discovered and can be seen with the naked eye by the end of April.

Dynamics means changing. Group dynamics began as an identifiable field of inquiry in the United States at the end of the 1930s. Kurt Lewin had popularized the term Group Dynamics. Teachers can change the behaviour of the child through interaction in the group. He/she deals with the child for five to six hours daily. To make the teaching effective, the teacher must study group dynamics in a small group. e.g stars children are liked by the majority of the students. The teacher should make a combination of stars and isolates or rejected students together and try to change the behaviour of isolate or rejected pupil.
It refers to the forces which operate in a group situation. It studies the structure of the group and other phenomena which emerge out of group interaction.
View of Krech and Crutchfield—-Group dynamics implies changes that take place within a group.
According to Cartwright and Zander-“Group dynamics is a field of inquiry dedicated to advancing knowledge about the nature of the groups, the laws of their development and their interrelations with individuals, other groups and larger institutions.”
Class is a collection of pupils coming from different socio-economic backgrounds. Teachers should know the process of interaction among students. If the teacher is well equipped with the basic knowledge of group dynamics, it can provide better guidance for adjustment. Teachers can improve the emotional and social atmosphere of the class.
The knowledge of group dynamics is important as our joint family system is dying out. The nuclear family is not able to provide a sense of security, co-operation, affection due to the busy schedule of life. Adolescents need shelter, love, recreation, and motivation from the group. The teacher should know how adolescents form groups and what is the structure of groups in general.
Mental health is an important factor in the learning process. If there are conflicts, rivalry, fear, anxiety in the group, learning will be disturbed. The teacher can find out the reason for the emotional and social anxiety of the pupils and can use remedial measures to maintain a conducive environment in the classroom.
The teacher should understand the students and make the proper sitting arrangements. The teacher must also see that the groups are not formed based on caste, creed, and religion.
The teacher can change the behaviour of the group and maintain a conducive environment. These are the reasons why a teacher should study group dynamics.

By rskazza. Worksheets. At Friday, March 12th 2021, 12:39:53 PM.
Care should be taken to give children worksheets that they are capable of doing. This involves understanding and monitoring the child continually, since the level of attainment of different children would often be quite different. The worksheet should challenge the child but not overwhelm her. If the worksheet is too easy or too repetitive, it may bore the child and she would not be happy. If the activity is too difficult it would frustrate her and she would not like to take up more sheets.
Patterns and sequencing and basic addition and subtraction should follow on from counting and number recognition. By the time your child is starting kindergarten or school, they should be able to count to 20 with ease, write numbers, do simple addition sums, and have some understanding of patterns and sequences. Even if they are attending preschool, extra practice at home will help them improve their math.
There are many opportunities to teach your child how to count. You probably already have books with numbers and pictures, and you can count things with your child all the time. There are counting games and blocks with numbers on them, wall charts and a wide variety of tools to help you teach your child the basic principles of math. Mathematics worksheets can help you take that initial learning further to introduce the basic principles of math to your child, at a stage in their lives where they are eager to learn and able to absorb new information quickly and easily.

We have set up a publishing model that allows any student to have their say in developing books for their education, and to potentially go on to become one of the authors. From generating ideas, to writing content, even to graphic design and reviewing print copies – we want juniors at the forefront. You can be involved at every stage. After all, it’s you who will be using the books; who are we to tell you what you need?!
In contrast to seniors, the forte of juniors is their recent exposure to the curriculum.
This better places them in relating to their peers and writing in a language digestible to them. The content can also be contextualised around current medical students’ and junior doctors’ learning needs, utilising the authors’ recent experiences revising for undergraduate assessments.

To Mayor Kawakami and the County Council:
Please reconsider the plan to reopen the island to tourists with anything less than the Centers of Disease Control recommended guidelines for quarantine.
The implementation of a three-day quarantine is insufficient to protect the people of Kaua‘i. Be clear, this is three days from their last uncontrolled, high-risk behavior — which is getting on a plane and traveling through an airport. This is the date from which quarantine should be considered. The Centers for Disease Control has been quite clear about quarantine required to detect greater than 90% of cases. It requires 10 days. See tgilinks.com/3nsLXlq
Quarantining for seven days with a negative test within 48 hours of the time of planned quarantine discontinuation results in an estimated 88% to 95% detection rate. They specifically state that quarantine cannot be discontinued earlier than after day seven.
Why then do we believe that we should implement a standard different than this? This will result in an extreme influx of highly-contagious people into our population. Don’t ignore the recommendations of the most-knowledgeable scientists in infectious disease in our country.
We only have to look at the Hawai‘i Department of Health Hawaii data website to understand how ill-advised this idea is: tgilinks.com/3sdju6v
Specifically, if we look at the trajectory of cases per hundred thousand population, we were on an identical trajectory as the County of Maui between early November and Nov. 22. When we closed the island, our case numbers per population went down from five to the values between 0.4 and the current value of 1.8. Maui’s has gone up to a current level of 18.5, some 10 times our number of daily new cases. Why is that? Because they opted to leave the island completely unprotected from the tourist influx.
Yes, many of our cases are due to residents traveling between islands and from the mainland. They should be required to quarantine exactly the same as anyone else coming onto the island. Look at the data on this graph and decide which island you want to live on. It’s not Maui and it’s not O‘ahu, and we should not be mimicking their ridiculous “Safe Travels program.”
As we are faced with the introduction of a more-contagious variant of coronavirus in large parts of the country, we need to consider this: Being 50% or 70% more contagious does not mean that 50% or 70% more people are going to get it over a month’s time.
It means that each infected person is more likely to infect a greater number of people. That change becomes exponential over the incubation. Currently the (entire) state of Hawai‘i has an estimated infection growth rate of 1.11, meaning that for each person that is infected they will infect 1.11 other people. If that new strain has a transmission rate that is 50% higher, and we assume a six-day infection-generation time, we will have over 7.5 times the number of infections in a month as we do with the current strain. That is also 7.5 times the number of dead.
We are an isolated community with limited resources. Those resources will become more limited as the supply chain and transportation industry is strained by worker shortages due to deaths and infections.
Already, areas as wealthy as California are rationing oxygen to the ill and discouraging EMTs from transporting those patients who they don’t believe have a good chance of survival. Understand what that means. The person making a decision about whether or not you get treatment is not a physician, it is someone with EMT training. EMTs are not trained to make those decisions. They are trained to provide emergency care and transportation.
Why, as the rest of the country records record numbers of infections, do we want to encourage them to come to Kaua‘i? Even if the three-day quarantine found 50% of the cases that traveled to the island, what do we do with those people? They are here for the duration of their infection competing for the limited medical resources of the island! Meanwhile, the other 50% are interacting with the population without a clue as to their infectivity. And we have to convince the resident population that we are “keeping the safe.”
It is time to make the decision necessary to safeguard this island! Implement a quarantine policy based on medical science, or we will all suffer the consequences.

Well, the rumors are true! Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are officially a couple. The two were spotted in Palm Springs over the weekend.
Kardashian and Barker share pictures of themselves poolside at the Palm Springs home her mother, Kris Jenner owns.
A source tells PEOPLE, “Kourtney and Travis are in Palm Springs together and have been dating for about a month.”
At the 2019 iHeartmusic Awards Barker was asked about his relationship with Kourtney and he denied any romantic involvement but said the oldest Kardashian sister is, “like a dear friend. That’s it.”
Now that it’s official what do you think of Kourtney and Travis as a couple?

Kindergarten Play Group Visits
Recently, the ISAAGNY Board of Trustees voted to no longer endorse the use of the WPPSI test for kindergarten and first grade admissions. In alignment with ISAAGNY’s deep commitment of respect for all, we consider candidates for admission to our schools with flexible, research-based assessments that encourage each child to express his or her individuality as a learner.
All ISAAGNY schools invite children and their families to visit the school during the admissions process. These visits provide an opportunity for parents to learn more about a school, and for Lower School teachers and admissions professionals to get to know each child. During these visits, the children engage in developmentally appropriate and child-friendly activities. The educators who engage with the children have an extensive knowledge of both child development and what “kindergarten readiness” means at their school. With great thoughtfulness and with the best interest of young children in mind, they aim to ensure that each child who enters kindergarten at their school will thrive. While each school’s visit is distinct from another’s, the visits are grounded in theory and research on child development.
While ISAAGNY promotes cooperation among member schools, each is independent and has its own mission, unique character, and core values. A child’s readiness for kindergarten is assessed differently at each school, and as a result, each school’s admissions process and criteria are unique. Applicant families should consult individual schools’ websites to familiarize themselves with each school’s specific requirements. Families can also call admissions offices with any questions they may have.

Meeting each other at jam-sessions, Benjamin Himpel and Simon Eskildsen quickly developed a strong musical connection - an ability to follow each others route within the tunes they where playing. Slowly the musical friendship developed, and both players started writing music for the duo.
The result - 3rd Room, showcases the compositions of both players, with a strong common language and sprinled with more free collaboration-pieces (the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Room improvs).
The record was released in 2017, and the due has played tours in Denmark and Germany since.

This plant tolerates some drought and a little salt and will grow in dry soil. Suitable soil is well-drained/loamy, sandy or clay. The pH preference is an acidic to slightly alkaline (less than 6.8 to 7.7) soil. Miami grows best in full sun with rich, moist soil but will tolerate less hospitable positions in the landscape just as well, once it becomes established. However, plants left on their own in highway medians appear to be less vigorous unless ample mulch is applied and maintained out to the drip line. The best plants are often located in irrigated landscapes. It grows well in limited soil spaces in urban areas such as along boulevards, in parking lots, and in small pavement cutouts if provided with some irrigation until well established. They tolerate clay and alkaline soil well. Note the dark chestnut-brown bark on this cultivar. This plant is considered mostly allergy free and causes little or no allergy problems in most people.

ⓘ Basolateral amygdala
The basolateral amygdala or basolateral complex, consists of the lateral, basal and accessory-basal nuclei of the amygdala. The lateral nuclei receives the majority of sensory information, which arrives directly from the temporal lobe structures, including the hippocampus and primary auditory cortex. The information is then processed by the basolateral complex and is sent as output to the central nucleus of the amygdala. This is how most emotional arousal is formed in mammals.
The basolateral amygdala and nucleus accumbens shell together mediate specific Pavlovian-instrumental transfer, a phenomenon in which a classically conditioned stimulus modifies operant behavior. The primary function of the basolateral complex is stimulating fear response. The fear system is intended to avoid pain or injury. For this reason the responses must be quick, and reflex-like. To achieve this, the" low-road” or a bottom-up process is used to generate a response to stimuli that are potentially hazardous. The stimulus reaches the thalamus, and information is passed to the lateral nucleus, then the basolateral system, and immediately to the central nucleus where a response is then formed. There is no conscious cognition involved in these responses. Other non-threatening stimuli are processed via the" high road” or a top-down form of processing. In this case, the stimulus input reaches the sensory cortex first, leading to more conscious involvement in the response. In immediately threatening situations, the fight-or-flight response is reflexive, and conscious thought processing doesn’t occur until later.
An important process that occurs in basolateral amygdala is consolidation of cued fear memory. One proposed molecular mechanism for this process is collaboration of M 1 -Muscarinic receptors, D 5 receptors and beta-2 adrenergic receptors to redundantly activate phospholipase C, which inhibits the activity of KCNQ channels that conduct inhibitory M current. The neuron then becomes more excitable and the consolidation of memory is enhanced.
The amygdala has several different nuclei and internal pathways; the basolateral complex or basolateral amygdala, the central nucleus, and the cortical nucleus are the most well-known. Each of these has a unique function and purpose within the amygdala.

Theory of Learning and the Psychology Behind It
We’ve all heard the saying ‘knowledge is power’ but let’s take a deeper dive into what this means. According to VeryWell mind, educational psychology involves the study of how people learn and retain information. One man who shed significant light on this topic was early 20th-century educational psychologist, Edward Lee Thorndike. He delved into the theory of learning and the psychology behind it by formulating three laws of learning which are still relevant today – the law of readiness, the law of exercise, and the law of effect.
Learning theory and psychology
The law of readiness
This happens when students have an innate interest and passion to learn so they can acquire important knowledge and skills. Oxford Royal Academy in the UK found the concept has been well implemented through the introduction of ‘Studio Schools’. In this learning model, students undertake work placements alongside traditional academic subjects. This new form of education helps ensure education better equips them for life outside school. Similarly, TAFEs in Australia focus on providing pupils with hands-on work experience while they learn.
The law of exercise
According to EduGyan, Thorndike’s law of exercise is based on the law of ‘use and disuse’ or in other words ‘practice makes perfect’. Repeated application of an activity or revising learning, helps ingrain knowledge in the brain and facilitates mastery of what’s learned. Nowadays, teachers and education boards are extending this concept and coupling it with other ways to make learning more effective. For example, countries like the United Kingdom and Canada have provided students with the luxury of sleeping in. Research has found this increases alertness, concentration, and the ability to retain information without the need to resort to caffeine or other negative substances.
The law of effect
EduGyan explains this concept in the sense of how success leads to satisfaction and strengthens the experience of learning, whereas failure increases dissatisfaction. The law of effect can be seen in real-life scenarios where success feels like a reward and failure like a punishment. For example, if we compare students congratulated with certificates when they get good grades with students facing detention for failing to comply with school rules, the distinction is obvious. We’ve come a long way and evolved in applying the law of effect in better ways. The birth of boarding schools for troubled kids, for instance, provides them with professional help and cultivates positive habits, alongside their academic, therapeutic, and recreational activities.
Although Thorndike discovered the theory of learning some time ago, it still applies today. It’s important to start applying these concepts in childhood and help kids benefit from the psychology of learning. The World Literacy Foundation is committed to making this happen by providing education and literacy programs to disadvantaged kids across the globe so the laws of readiness, effect, and exercise can begin at an early age!

Stories for Europe is an emerging initiative and experiment promoting engaging European narratives that express European values, identity, and, above all, the future of Europe. It is an effort that counter-balances the fear-driven and negative narratives that populist movements have recently spread. Christine Kunzmann and Andreas Schmidt have contributed to the kick-off event at Aachen. The inspiring event has shown, similar to professional identity transformation, that we need spaces for developing identity narratives that reach beyond rational arguments and address emotional aspects, such as uncertainty. One open space session was particularly targetted towards ways of addressing that uncertainty that is shaping the current discourse about the future of Europe.
The participants agreed on continuing with the experiment in a community-driven way. A next meeting is planned for spring 2018.

With Mardi Gras celebrations canceled due to fears of a pandemic “fourth wave,” some New Orleans residents are making their homes look like parade floats. They’re calling it “Yardi Gras.” The mayor has shut down major streets in the French Quarter, including Bourbon Street. It’s a far cry from last year’s party scene in the early days of the pandemic, which led to an estimated 50,000 COVID-19 cases. Megan Boudreaux, the woman who dreamed up Yardi Gras, received an award from the mayor’s office.

You may be aware that November is National Novel Writing Month (there’s also Camp NaNoWriMo for those who shy away from November and/or a ‘required’ word count goal). You may also be aware that the Writers’ Program offers a NaNoWriMo course – look for it in the Fall 2017 quarter!
So, why am I talking about a November course in March? Because March just happens to be National Novel Editing Month, or NaNoEdMo.
NaNoEdMo was created as a time to edit drafts created during the frenzy of a WriMo month (or whenever) – let a piece rest for a bit, get some distance, and then dedicate to editing for at least fifty hours during March. There’s more info and FAQs on the NaNoEdMo site, but that’s the basic idea. Though, much like Camp, EdMo uses the Novel moniker to cover any piece of fiction. Screenplay/Teleplay? Short Story collection? Behemoth book series? You’re covered under the blanket ‘novel’ term.
Editing, like writing, is usually a solitary act. NaNoEdMo adds a community option similar to its writing counterpart to make the process (hopefully) a little less panic inducing and crazy making. Whether you officially participate or not, March is as good a month as any to pull out a drafted-yet-unfinished work, a pile of red pens (and/or notating apps) and get revising. Participating this month or not, engaging with others during the editing process is a crucial part of a work’s development. Here’s why:
It gets you out of your own head. You’re not working alone. This can help you be less precious and find errors more easily – with words, characters, plot lines, description, overall tone/voice, etc.
If you make someone else care about what you’ve written, you’re headed in the right direction. And if they don’t care, you can ask them to articulate why – that can help expose potential flaws in the writing.
It makes you accountable to someone for making progress. While you’re working, so are they, and having that balance of effort can help motivate you in ways your own internal voices cannot.
You can also try changing up your method of revising. NaNoEdMo requires you to input hours (at least) weekly. However, there’s no stipulation with regard to how those hours are spent, and no word count validator. It’s honor-system all the way. Which, unless you’re a professional editor billing hourly, is pretty much how editing goes anyway – no one knows how much work you’ve done, or the time spent doing it, they just see the results.
Been doing everything on a computer? Print off pages to edit by hand.
Have a section you don’t like? Try rewriting it by hand, or dictating it on your phone.
Character giving you trouble? Take a bit of time to write more of their story – see what their issues are and how they might be resolved (or deepened, depending on their arc).
Plot holes? Make notes on what’s needed to fill them, and work on each one separately, as its own contained little story, then work it back into the piece as a whole.
Setting or character issues? Try drawing some scenes out – even if you’re terrible at drawing, just try it as an exercise. Or make an idea board, using a collage/presentation program or with magazine/photo clippings.
These are ways of trying to get your mind to find ways of working on the project without following the same editing patterns you’ve had before. A sort of ‘work outside the box’ method.
In the end, you’re the best judge of you and how you work, but stepping out of your routine, whether though joining a community with a challenge for the month, connecting with trusted friends/colleagues for feedback, or holing yourself up for a few dedicated days of work can lead to huge, progressive strides for your project.

Coxe’s Travels into Russia, vol. II.—Mr. Coxe, in the history of Theophanes, has followed implicitly Muller, whose fidelity and accuracy always appear to him unquestionable. Mons. Le Clerc differs from Mr. Muller in relating the earliest part of this prelate’s life. He also informs us, that Theophanes persuaded Peter to introduce the protestant religion into Rus sia; and that the emperor was inclined to follow his advice, but was prevented by his death. This important anecdote Mr. Coxe would not venture to adopt (though he could not controvert it), as the ingenious author has not cited his authority. See Le Clerc’s Hist. Anc. de Rnssie, p. 262; aud Hist. Mod. p. 65, 66.

Frank, aka PCGuy, has published another one of his Truthful Tuesday posts. A few weeks ago, Frank wanted to know whether the weather affects what we like to eat. Continuing with his weather theme, this week Frank asks…
Would you rather endure cold winter weather or hot summer weather?
As I mentioned in my last response to Frank’s weather-related question, before I moved to the East Bay last February, I used to live in San Francisco. One of the characteristics of San Francisco’s weather is that it’s temperate — the winters are relatively mild and the summers are relatively cool. It never gets too cold in winter or too hot in summer.
Now I live [[phy_address]] of San Francisco, where it does occasionally get down into the thirties in the winter and hits the upper 90s to the low 100s on most days during the summer months.
To answer Frank’s specific question, I’d rather endure cold winter weather because you can always put on extra layers of clothing to keep you warm and toasty. But when it’s very hot, there’s not much you can do to keep cool except to stay inside where it’s air conditioned or spend all your time in a swimming pool until your skin gets all wrinkly.
So, bottom line, cold winter over hot summer.

Can we study the brain without using animals?
April 8, 2015
The brain is an immensely complicated, indispensable organ. Virtually every function is controlled by the brain – it is the body’s command central. Understanding its workings is essential to curing a wide-range of diseases, including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder, and neuro-psychiatric illnesses.Read more

Every week on Monday, the WoW! community and our invited guests weigh in at the Watcher’s Forum, short takes on a major issue of the day, the culture, or daily living. This week’s question: Is The Conservative Movement Dead?
Stately McDaniel Manor: Is The Conservative Movement Dead? Of course. It died long ago. It’s intellectual successor, the Tea Parties, are essentially moribund, at least for now. The problem is essentially one of definition.
What, exactly, is conservatism? At one time, it was clearly based on limited government, the idea that that government is best which governs least. The government that has little or no consequence in the lives of Americans is the ideal. Government should exist only to accomplish those things we cannot do ourselves, such as raise and maintain a military, etc.

How Does An Electric Blanket Work?
_x000D_
We still consider an electric blanket as a household appliance. Why? Because it needs to be plugged into a wall to supply electricity. _x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
Electric blankets go by other names, too, such as an electric bedspread or throw. There is no mystery here. This type of blanket works through an internal system of insulated wires that can cater to different heat levels, adjustable through the temperature controller. _x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
You can ignore its weight as well. Usually, it uses lightweight materials like polyester and acrylic. Two people can share the warmth in a king-size bed. _x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
Electric blankets use 120 volts of electricity to power themselves. At low temperatures, they can produce 64-77° Fahrenheit of heat that can reach up to 118-132° in high settings. If you’re itching to know, yes, you can machine wash it too! _x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
Safety Tips
_x000D_
-
- _x000D_
- Do not throw away the manual. Please read it thoroughly to understand it fully. Review the specifications and carefully follow the instructions.
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
-
- _x000D_
- Among all hazards, your primary concern is the hazard of starting a fire. Be careful enough not to pierce any section. Although the materials prevent fire, frayed linen can cause short-circuits that can be dangerous.
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
-
- _x000D_
- It’s also advisable to check for burn marks and deformations or anything unusual. In the presence of one, investigate first before you consider plugging it in. While unplugged, spot holes where wires can stick out or fabric might deteriorate.
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
-
- _x000D_
- How about the morning after? Well, make sure that you turn it off and unplug it. Under any circumstance, please do not leave it overnight due to the risk of overheating and malfunctioning.Â
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
-
- _x000D_
- If you’re in the early stages of pregnancy, it’s better to refrain from using one. Overheated blankets might lead to miscarriage. Consult your doctor first for any alternatives.Â
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
Common Concerns
_x000D_
-
- _x000D_
- Should a regular blanket go under an electric blanket? The answer is no. Always remember to put an electric blanket over any covering, and also your body.
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
-
- _x000D_
- If the fear of forgetting to shut off the blanket gives you anxiety, consider buying one with an automatic system. Doing so will remove the responsibility to check it regularly.Â
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
-
- _x000D_
- Who among age groups is appropriate to use it? Young children, including those with cognitive impairments, are discouraged from using this blanket. They might be unable to operate the blanket without supervision.
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
-
- _x000D_
- Should I use it for my pets? Frankly, the coat of fur possessed by your pets removes the need for a blanket. It’s unnecessary, and they could chew and damage the wires instead, leading to hazards.Â
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
-
- _x000D_
- How about those with skin conditions? Well, people with sensitive skin must evaluate the risks first. Even those who have diabetes could receive burns due to the decreased skin sensitivity.Â

Steps on using electric blanketsÂ
_x000D_
The instructions laid out here are broad, and we advise you to consult the manual first. For practical reasons, we added technical questions you might have before buying._x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
Step#1. Spread the electric blanket on your bed_x000D_

_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
Step#5. Sleep with comfort_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
How much does it cost?
_x000D_
Great news for you: an electric blanket is cheaper than a regular heater. An array of models are available in the market. As for the cost, blankets range from $20 reaching up to $300 for fancier models. _x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
As a bonus, you can cut corners on the heating bill. At night, you can lower down the thermostat a few notches. Instead of heating the whole house, you pay for the heat directed to your body when you use a blanket._x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
How much electricity does it consume?
_x000D_
Electric blankets consume insignificant amounts of electricity among appliances. How often and for how long do you use it? Of course, this will also depend on your household’s consumption. _x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
What features should an electric blanket have?
_x000D_
A good electric blanket should have a heat adjustment tool, multiple heat settings, and low voltage._x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
Conclusion
_x000D_
Now you know the answer to the question, “how does an electric blanket work”. If you dread frosty nights, you could wear socks and thick sweaters – but they can’t follow you to bed. Winter can trigger all sorts of aches in your body if you go unprotected from the cold._x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
That’s why this is the time for you to grab an electric blanket. Again, read the manual carefully to know how yours specifically work. Use this tutorial to help you figure out the rest.

M. Night Shyamalan took an interview with the Washington Post where he reiterates much of the same “blame anime, not me” and “where’s my cookie for making the most culturally diverse film of all time?” rheoric that we’ve seen in earlier interviews in regards to Racebending.com. Here’s the relevant excerpt:
JC: I know you’ve gotten this question quite a bit, but I have to ask it because — I’m sure other members of the press have told you this, too – I’ve been getting a lot of e-mails from the members of the Racebending group, especially in the days leading up to the release of this film. And again, they’re expressing their concerns about the lack of Asian or Asian-American actors cast in the film. What is your response to that at this point? Do you have anything further to say on that issue?
MNS: They’re misguided.
JC: Okay–
MNS: They’re aware I’m Asian, right?
JC: I would think so.
MNS: And that Dev [Patel]’s Asian, and Assif [Mandvi]’s Asian, and everybody’s, I mean – it’s incredible to think that there’s a correct Asian here. They don’t own this series. They don’t own all these cultures. The word Avatar is a Sanskrit word. So it’s all cultures that are put together. There’s no correct background here. They should ask: why does Noah Ringer look like a duplicate – a duplicate – of the cartoon guy? Why? He’s a dupe.
Anime is based on ambiguous facial features. It’s meant to be interpretive. It’s meant to be inclusive of all races, and you can see yourself in all these characters. My daughter saw herself as Kitara and now her friend who’s Hispanic sees herself as Kitara, and that’s totally valid. This is a multicultural movie and I’m going to make it even more multicultural in my approach to its casting. There’s African-Americans in the movie … so it’s a source of pride for me. The irony that they would label this with anything but the greatest pride, that the movie poster has Noah and Dev on it and my name on it. I don’t know what else to do.
JC: Does it offend you that they’re defining Asian in what you perceive as a limited way when you consider yourself Asian?
MNS: I think it’s convenient for their argument. Their issue isn’t with me. Their issue is with the artists that invented anime. The story of “The Last Airbender” is an ambiguous story. These cultures are not defined. There is no Inuit woman who looks like Kitara. That’s not the reality of things. That’s not the way they’re drawn. Talk to the people who drew them. So you’re talking to the wrong person. I’m actually doing a very culturally diverse movie. In fact, I believe it’s the most culturally diverse tent pole movie ever made. And the series will be, if we’re lucky enough to make all three, without a peer — without a peer — one of the most culturally diverse movies ever made. It doesn’t have, like, a token person. The entire landscape will be ethnically diverse. That’s the entire point of the series.
I just can’t even believe that having achieved this – I’m the one that fought to get this movie made – having to do all of this and the opportunities I’m getting to do this in this way, and bring all these cultures to the table and all these ideas to a mass audience. 85 percent of the audience will have not seen the show. Right? Around the world. And I’m going to introduce them to all of this. Like the Uncle Iroh character is literally the wisest person in the movie and I believe Shaun Toub [the actor who plays him] is Persian. I forget where he’s from, but he’s clearly not white. On and on.
And Dev is what the movie’s about, his character, where he goes is what the movie’s about. Just that I have to defend this is — it’s outrageous.
I love the “Dev Patel’s Asian — how dare you call me racist?” statement that starts off this new tirade. Classy, Mr. Shyamalan, classy.

150. Is watching television bad for children?
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Watching television is bad for children. Use specific details and examples to support your answer.
『分析』 不能同意，但是watching too much TV is bad for children, and some programs are really detrimental to children.

• 使儿童变得孤僻
• 使儿童变得不喜欢活动

There is much conjecture over whether television is a positive or negative influence on a young child's development. There is a good case to be made for either of these opinions; I believe that both could be true depending on the programming the children are absorbing.
Nature programs, documentaries and educational programming can expose children to a wide variety of useful information. When children watch these types of programs, they are more likely to become concerned about the world around them, whether in terms of environmental issues, political issues, or cultural issues. Watching educational television is an excellent method of helping young people discover where their interests lie. For example, if a child sees a documentary on space exploration, they might develop a passion for it and continue studying it later in life. A show that a person watched when they were a child could possibly have been a catalyst for choosing a career.
On the other hand, most cartoons, soap operas, or violent crime television shows are detrimental to a child's development. Cartoons offer no useful information to a young person, and usually do not succeed in getting the child interested in anything except fantasy. Adult television, such as soap operas, can introduce children to subject matter that is not appropriate for their innocent minds, and can often cause children to grow up too fast. Violent television is perhaps most damaging for a young child to watch. It has been proven that if children watch violence on television when they are young, they become desensitized to it, and sometimes end up becoming violent adults.
In conclusion, I believe that the argument over whether watching TV is bad for children should definitely be swayed by what the children are viewing. Educational television can be very beneficial to a young person. When this medium is used in such a way, new thoughts and ideas can be opened up to the young person. However, watching the wrong television shows can be very dangerous. Children can desensitize themselves to the world around them, and become antisocial, violent adults. I think the best situation is to ensure that parents monitor their children's television shows very carefully. By using this method, children will receive all of the benefits of good television, while avoiding all of its negative aspects.

Why does the body need water?
For life, on average, an adult body circulates about 5 liters of blood. Blood plasma is 92–95% water. Thanks to water, blood can perform its functions:
- deliver nutrients to organ cells;
- bring oxygen from the lungs to tissues and return carbon dioxide to them;
- throw out waste substances from internal organs through the kidneys;
- to provide homeostasis (constancy and balance of the internal environment): to maintain temperature, water-salt balance, hormones and enzymes;
- protect the body: leukocytes and plasma proteins circulate in the blood, which are responsible for immunity.
If there is not enough water in the body, then the blood mass decreases, its viscosity increases. It is not easy for the heart to pump such blood. Premature wear of the heart muscle occurs, which leads to pathology up to myocardial infarction.
That is why during active sports and high loads, the body needs more water.
Is it true that your head hurts from lack of water?
True. Even mild dehydration makes the brain work worse.
More than 80 percent of the brain cells are water, and a fifth of all blood is constantly washing it. Plus, the brain is “bathed” in cerebrospinal fluid, which fills all the spaces in the spinal canal and cranium.
With water, oxygen and glucose are supplied to the brain, which are necessary for the generation of nerve impulses, that is, for nervous activity. Water removes metabolic products and toxins from the brain.
Therefore, if there is not enough fluid, dehydration (dehydration) of the brain occurs. And with her:
- increased fatigue and distraction;
- memory impairment;
- slowing down the speed of mathematical calculations;
- negative emotions.
Dehydration has been found in people with autism, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. On the other hand, schoolchildren who drink water during the school day improve their performance.
What happens if I don’t drink enough water?
The state of health will worsen. In addition to the headache, there will be other unpleasant symptoms of dehydration from the digestive and excretory systems.
The work of the stomach and intestines is impossible without water intake. And there are several explanations for this. Water ensures normal food digestion and absorption of nutrients from the intestines. If there is little water in the body, there will be discomfort in the abdomen and constipation.
The kidneys filter 150–170 liters of blood per day in order to produce 1.5 liters of urine. This means that for the normal elimination of toxins and waste substances, you need to drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day, but preferably more.
With a lack of fluid, the filtration capacity of the kidneys worsens, they themselves can accumulate an excess of toxic substances. Against this background, various renal pathologies can occur. One of the main medical prescriptions for kidney pathology is the recommendation of an abundant drink to cleanse and restore function.
When is more water needed than usual?
When you want to have a baby, semen is based on water. Thanks to her, the sperm goes in search of the egg, swimming through the woman’s reproductive pathways until conception occurs.
The new organism also spends all nine months in the aquatic environment. The amount of amniotic fluid increases with an increase in the size of the fetus, reaching 1,000 milliliters by birth. Waters support the fetus, protect it from infections, creating conditions for growth and development.
During childbirth, water ensures the normal dilatation of the cervix and contributes to the safe movement of the baby along the birth canal.
I never drink much. Will it somehow affect me?
You will most likely look worse as you get older.
Old age is dryness. In order for the skin to perform its protective function, it must maintain elasticity and firmness. Then she will be able to withstand the hot sun, drying wind or low temperatures.
Healthy skin is 25% water and wrinkles when dehydrated. This means that to maintain her elasticity and firmness, a daily intake of water is required. Better clean, slightly mineralized and free of gas.
To maintain the efficiency of the skin, at least 2 liters of clean water should be supplied to it per day.
What other negative consequences does water shortage cause?
Even joints need water. If they are stiff, the person is deprived of freedom: he moves poorly and can hardly cope with matters. According to statistics, 30% of the population has joint diseases.
The joints are covered with cartilage. It is the slippery elastic cartilage that provides the mobility of the bone joints. Water makes up 80% of the cartilage. In addition, the joint capsule surrounding each joint contains joint fluid for lubricating cartilaginous surfaces. With a lack of water, they are destroyed, causing severe pain to a person.
What if I am not thirsty?
While doing business, we sometimes do not notice that we want to drink, and even confuse thirst and hunger, we reach for snacks when we just need to sip water.
The best way to prevent dehydration and all its unpleasant consequences is to put a bottle or a cup of clean, low-mineralized water on the table and take a sip every time your gaze falls on the water.
If you understand that you are thirsty, then eliminate the thirst in time. And if not, a sip of clean water has not stopped anyone yet.

7 Common “Ego Traps” for Leaders (Part 1) by Michael Warden, CPCCAug 24th, 2009 | By Michael Warden | Category: Coaching Ministry Leaders
Leadership, when it’s good and strong and true, isn’t about ego. It’s about stepping boldly into a larger story, and inviting other people to come along with you. It’s about surrendering your life to a Power and a purpose greater than yourself, and serving those who have chosen to follow you into that great adventure.
It’s most definitely not about you.
The great enemy of great leadership is ego. We’ve all known leaders who make their leadership about themselves–they claim to serve and follow a larger vision, but it’s pretty clear that their leadership is ultimately about their own fame, their success, their respect, their me-driven legacy, their control, their “rightness” about it all. It’s not pretty to watch, and even less pleasant to experience. Ego-based leadership damages people.
But ego is a subtle demon. The thing about getting caught up in your ego is…it’s self-blinding. It’s like broccoli in your teeth; you can’t see it until someone points it out. And even then, you might not believe them (ego isn’t quick to listen to critique), so you go looking for a mirror.
So, I’ve decided to create a series of posts that you might think of as a kind of mirror for leaders. In each post, I’ll name one of 7 common “ego traps” that leaders fall into. These traps are a little more subtle that obvious megalomania, but each of these can nonetheless seriously undermine a leader’s effectiveness. I know this not just because I’ve seen it; I’m a recovering ego junkie myself. Truth is, I’ve fallen into almost every one of these at some point in my own leadership journey.
So try these on and see what you think. Have you ever fallen prey to one of these subtle ego traps? Here’s the first:
- Ego Trap #1: “I’m the only one who knows the right way to do it” — This is the subtle (maybe even secret) belief that I know more and am smarter than the people I lead. This isn’t about having more experience in a certain arena; it’s about believing, deep down, that you are a step above in intelligence, insight, creativity and strategic thinking than everyone else on your team. The result is that you spend most of your time persuading and pressing others to do it your way and almost none of your time listening and learning from the people on your team. One famous leader I know of actually once said–in total sincerity–“I can’t help it that God has given me the burden of always being right.”
You think you know better than everyone you lead? Think again. Leadership is a privilege others give to you as a trust. It’s not a badge proving your superiority as a human being. The best leaders, in fact, make it a practice to surround themselves with people who are clearly smarter, more creative and wiser than themselves.

Got Anxiety? Looking on the Bright Side May Help (No, Really)
Looking for something good in a bad situation can actually be effective in reducing anxiety. And the less money you make, the more effective this tactic could be.
That’s according to a study, published in the journal Emotion, for which researchers analyzed data from an experiment and a survey to determine the role of income in a person’s ability to regulate emotions by reframing their experiences. In the experiment, 112 people watched a short film; if they felt negative emotions while watching, they were told to try to find a new, less-negative way of looking at the situation. Additionally, researchers asked them whether they used cognitive reappraisal strategies like reframing in their daily lives and for annual income info.
The results showed that those with lower incomes who used reframing strategies more often reported being less anxious. This was not the case for people at middle- or upper-income levels.
The study’s authors theorize that reframing was more effective in reducing anxiety for lower-income participants because they have less control over their environments, but can change the way they look at things.

Assessment of phosphorus availability in soil cultivated with ruzigrass
(Geoderma, 2018-02-15) [Artigo]
Growing ruzigrass (Urochloa ruziziensis) in crop rotation systems has been suggested as a strategy to increase soil phosphorus (P) cycling and P availability. However, despite increased P lability shown in routine soil ...
Urochloa ruziziensis cover crop increases the cycling of soil inositol phosphates
(Biology And Fertility Of Soils, 2018-11-01) [Artigo]
Ruzigrass (Urochloa ruziziensis) is a cover crop that is commonly used in Brazil and exudes high concentrations of organic acids from its roots, and is therefore expected to mobilize soil organic P such as inositol phosphates. ...

A guide using simple Python code.
In my previous story (https://oscarnieves100.medium.com/simulating-correlated-random-variables-in-python-c3947f2dbb10) I discussed how to simulate correlated random numbers from a normal probability distribution. We focused on a normal distribution because it is well known, and standard methods of sampling exist.
But what if you wanted to create your own probability distribution? What if I told you that you don’t need to be constrained by any of the well-known probability distributions out there? Where there is a will, there is a way, and what I am about to show you is very simple yet very powerful.
First, let us establish…
In my previous Medium story (https://oscarnieves100.medium.com/simulating-normal-random-numbers-in-python-18a2a21a1329) I discussed how to simulate normal random numbers with specific mean and variance properties by using something called the Box-Muller method. The idea was to take a set of independently sampled uniform random numbers, and convert them into normal random numbers by using a transformation involving polar coordinates, giving us two uncorrelated normal variables X and Y.
This is all good and fun, however when sampling numbers like this in a computer program, we always get “uncorrelated” variables. Correlation is a measure of how well a variable Y is described by a variable X…
Using the Box-Muller method
In my previous Medium story: https://oscarnieves100.medium.com/how-to-simulate-random-numbers-dad35905ecdb I discussed how to simulate random numbers in Python by using a little mathematical method known as “the inverse sampling theorem”. In it, I demonstrated how using nothing but uniformly distributed random numbers in the interval [0, 1] we could produce a set of random numbers from an exponential distribution, as shown in the Figure below:
A gentle introduction
Random numbers are used in a lot of applications. They are more predominantly used in areas like statistics, probability theory, data science, signal processing, statistical physics, machine learning, actuarial science, quantitative finance, and more. Yet they can be a bit challenging to understand due to their… well, random nature.
First, we need to come clean about something. Random numbers generated in computers are not truly random, in fact they are referred to as “pseudo-random” numbers. The reason for this is that they are basically constructed from a huge number of digit sequences which are then converted into…
Students of science and engineering often only learn a bit of Excel in the context of doing simple data analysis, plotting and calculations involving single cells or scalar values (e.g. basic statistics). However, there are many ways in which Excel can be used for a lot of other calculations, including things like linear algebra, regression analysis, probability computations, and even numerical solutions to differential equations. We can do a lot of these things without even knowing a thing about VBA programming.
In this short tutorial, I will go over some important functions in Excel which can be used for performing…
And understand it properly.
Statistics is a huge field of study. Most people only come across some statistics in school, and perhaps at university. Unless you have done a dedicated degree in data science, mathematics/statistics, quantitative finance or actuarial science; chances are you probably know very little. In fact, so little that you don’t know how to make use of the knowledge you have, which kind of defeats the purpose of knowing any statistics at all.
But it’s not people’s fault. I mean, I have qualifications in physics and even then my knowledge of statistics is extremely limited. I have…
Gaussian integrals occur quite often in science, statistics, and probability theory. In fact, if you have ever come across the normal distribution in statistics — also known as the “Bell curve” — you probably know what a Gaussian function is, or at least what it looks like.
A Gaussian integral is essentially the area under the Gaussian function, between set limits along the horizontal axis. …
And how far to go with it.
Physics is a difficult thing to study. Not just because it requires a lot of mathematics, but also because it requires a lot of patience, dedication and time. Most people only learn physics in high school, and never touch on the subject again, perhaps they don’t need it, or they go into a profession which doesn’t require any knowledge of physics. Whichever the case may be, there are certainly wrong and right approaches to learning physics. In this short article, I will explain how to get the most out of your learning. This…
with the power of stochastic modelling and MATLAB.
Prerequisites
In order to follow along this tutorial, you will need to be familiar with basic probability and statistics, and concepts such as mean, variance, standard deviation, random variables (discrete and/or continuous), and the notion of the normal distribution (e.g. Gaussian distribution). Some knowledge of programming (particularly in Matlab) is advised, but not entirely necessary.
Simple random walks
A random walk is one of the most basic types of stochastic processes we can simulate. Essentially, it is a discrete process by which the position of a particle or object, denoted by x…
And why you are probably doing it wrong.
Stochastic calculus, as its name suggests: is an area of mathematics concerned with the calculus (e.g. derivatives, integrals, limits, etc.) of stochastic processes (also known as random processes, effectively sequences of random numbers which possess certain properties). It is a natural extension of ordinary calculus to functions of a random variable, which are not deterministic over time, but rather random: each value of a function X(t) in time t is in itself a random variable. …

Kozhikode: Children withdrew over Rs 1 lakh from the account, without the mother's knowledge, to play online game.
The woman had complained to the Kozhikode cyber police about the money lost from the account.
In the subsequent probe, it was found that her two children, studying in classes IX and X, and another child, a relative, had spent the money for online game.
The woman’s husband is abroad. The children were given smartphone and tablet for online studies.
The cyber police said that the children played the banned 'PUBG'. The trio needed money to make it to the next levels. The children, who knew the mother's internet banking password and other details, took the money from the account.
Even when the woman complained to the police, the children did not tell her about this. The details were revealed later during the investigation led by the cyber cell inspector P Rajesh.
