 11 mg/day v. 22 ± 9 mg/day, p < 0.05). Iron deficiency was found in 45% of schoolchildren (N = 80) and 31% were categorised as having iron deficiency anaemia. The mean energy intake in boys was higher than in girls (2 150 ± 770 v. 1 830 ± 895 kcal/day respectively). Boys also had a higher intake of ascorbic acid (50 ± 32 v. 31 ± 23 mg/day, p > 0.05). In stepwise multiple regression analysis, daily iron intake remained the most significant nutrient predicting for Hb status. There was a significant correlation between iron intake and serum ferritin (r = 0.233, p < 0.05). Conclusion. Iron intake in this Tanzanian community is inadequate for maintaining normal iron nutrition. The factors contributing to the inadequacy include consumption of foods with low iron bioavailability. Food-based intervention should be one of the important strategies for reducing the magnitude of the problem of anaemia in this community.Environment-type robot system "RoboticRoom" featured by behavior media, behavior contents, and behavior adaptation

This paper proposes a concept of "Robotic Room" of the environment-type robot system for human service and describes the feasibility of novel functions by constructed three prototype robot systems taking account of the features of the environment-type robot system. The features are: 1) a spatial system; 2) a human-robot symbiosis system; and 3) a distributed system. Novel functions of the Robotic Room based on the research fields of a) Behavior Media and b) Behavior Contents and Behavior Adaptation is revealed by constructed prototype system of "Robotic Room 1 (Robotic Sick Room)," "Robotic Room 2 (Sensing Room)," and "Robotic Room 3," taking account of the stated features of the systems.Purple DS apps use the Advertising Identifier " ID ID (IDFA)" not actively.

Lee, a professor of English at Stanford University, will receive the Dos Passos Prize at a ceremony on Longwood’s campus on March 21, 2018. He will visit classes and read from his work after the presentation.
Lee was chosen as the winner from a shortlist of five finalists, who were nominated by members of the Dos Passos Prize Committee. The committee looks for works that explore specifically American themes, experiment with form and encompass a range of human experiences.
Lee’s most recent novel, On Such a Full Sea, is set in a dystopian America city of the future, divided into labor settlements, where a 16-year-old Chinese-American girl named Fan searches for love. The book was a finalist for the 2014 National Book Critics Circle Award and won the 2015 Chicago Tribune Heartland Fiction Prize.
Across all of his works, Lee—who was born in South Korea and moved with his family to the United States when he was 3—has displayed a natural affinity for characters trapped by behaviors and conditions they cannot control.
Lee’s novels have won numerous awards and citations: Native Speaker, published in 1995, won the PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Fiction; A Gesture Life, published in 1999, won the Asian-American Literary Award; Aloft received the 2006 Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature; The Surrendered was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and won the 2011 Dayton Literary Peace Prize.
The John Dos Passos Prize for Literature, founded in 1980, is named for the talented but often overlooked 20th century American writer, best-known for his U.S.A. trilogy. The prize recognizes contemporary American authors who have produced a substantial body of published work that displays characteristics of Dos Passos’ writing: an intense and original exploration of specifically American themes, an experimental approach to form and an interest in a wide range of human experience.
Previous Dos Passos Prize winners include Colson Whitehead, who won the 2016 National Book Award for Fiction, Danzy Senna, and American literature icons such as Sherman Alexie, Earnest J. Gaines, Lee Smith and Tom Wolfe.
Since 2016, Lee has been the Ward W. and Priscilla B. Woods professor in the English department and creative writing program at Stanford. Previously he was professor of creative writing at Princeton University and director of Princeton’s program in creative writing.
Lee was named by The New Yorker as one of the 20 writers for the 21st century.

Description: Lyrics: It seems to me that they're fucking bullys: They want me fight and they took knives out. But for such case in my cage there're bullets, The silent street will be very loud... Feelings out, feelings out! Feelings out, they are fucking bullys, Feelings out, my feelings out! Feelings out, in my cage there're bullets. Your knives are big but my gun is bigger, It's late at night my head full of thoughts, I found my aim and I'm pushing trigger - I think it's right to kill stupid goats. Feelings out, feelings out! Feelings out, my gun is bigger, Feelings out, my feelings out! Feelings out, and I'm pushing trigger.

Which polls are you referring to… You did not cite even one poll or your sources of this information.. My fear is that you are a Hillary Clinton shill.. so please cough up your sources and post them

I find I agree with your analysis more now than when there was still a chance that the Sanders-led movement might continue into the election. But what I find distressing in the above is not the analysis as much as the lack of any mention of an organized section of the Democratic Party (or a third party) flowing from the Sanders campaign. If that’s not developing then this whole thing has been a short-lived protest with no legs and it will fade.Every small business strives to grow, with that growth you need to be able to adapt to your business needs.
