average life span in the wild : 12 years size : 21 in ( 50 cm ) weight : 14. 4 oz ( 408 g ) did you know? chameleons don ' t change colors to match their surroundings. each species displays distinct color patterns to indicate specific reactions or emotions. the meller ' s chameleon is the largest of the chameleons not native to madagascar. their stout bodies can grow to be up to two feet ( two - thirds of a meter ) long and weigh more than a pound ( one - half kilogram ). meller ' s distinguish themselves from their universally bizarre - looking cousins with a single small horn protruding from the front of their snouts. this and their size earn them the common name " giant one - horned chameleon. " they are fairly common in the savanna of east africa, including malawi, northern mozambique, and tanzania. almost one - half of the world ’ s chameleons live on the island of madagascar. as with all chameleons, meller ' s will change colors in response to stress and to communicate with other chameleons. their normal appearance is deep green with yellow stripes and random black spots. females are slightly smaller, but are otherwise indistinguishable from males. they subsist on insects and small birds, using their camouflage and a lightning - fast, catapulting tongue, which can be up to 20 inches ( 50 centimeters ) long, to ambush prey. exotic pet enthusiasts often attempt to keep meller ' s chameleons as pets. however, they are highly susceptible to even the slightest level of stress and are very difficult to care for in captivity. in the wild, they can live as long as 12 years.

mexican america - introduction " mexican america " is a sampling of objects from the collections of the national museum of american history. the stories behind these objects reflect the history of the mexican presence in the united states. they illustrate a fundamentally american story about the centuries - old encounter between distinct ( yet sometimes overlapping ) communities that have coexisted but also clashed over land, culture, and livelihood. who, where, and what is mexico? over time, the definitions and boundaries of mexico have changed. the aztec empire and the area where nahautl was spoken — today the region surrounding modern mexico city — was known as mexico. for 300 years, the spanish colonizers renamed it new spain. when mexico was reborn in 1821 as a sovereign nation, its borders stretched from california to guatemala. it was a huge and ancient land of ethnically, linguistically, and economically diverse regions that struggled for national unity. texas, ( then part of the mexican state of coahuila y tejas ) was a frontier region far from the dense cities and fertile valleys of central mexico, a place where immigrants were recruited from the united states. the immigrants in turn declared the mexican territory an independent republic in 1836 ( later a u. s. state ), making the state the first cauldron of mexican american culture. by 1853, the government of mexico, the weaker neighbor of an expansionist united states, had lost what are today the states of california, nevada, utah, arizona, new mexico, texas, and parts of colorado and wyoming. in spite of the imposition of a new border, the historical and living presence of spaniards, mexicans, indigenous peoples, and their mixed descendants remained a defining force in the creation of the american west. “ la america mexicana ” es una muestra conformada por objetos provenientes de las distintas colecciones del museo nacional de historia americana. estos objetos reflejan la historia de la presencia mexicana en los estados unidos e ilustran una cronica fundamentalmente americana acerca del encuentro centenario entre comunidades diferentes que han coexistido, pero que tambien se han enfrentado, en la pugna por la tierra, la cultura y el sustento. ¿ quien, donde y que es mexico? con el transcurso del tiempo, las definiciones y los limites de mexico han ido cam

por la tierra, la cultura y el sustento. ¿ quien, donde y que es mexico? con el transcurso del tiempo, las definiciones y los limites de mexico han ido cambiando. se conocia como mexico al imperio azteca y toda el area donde se hablaba nahuatl — actualmente la region circundante a la ciudad de mexico. durante 300 anos los colonizadores espanoles se refirieron a ella como nueva espana. cuando en 1821 mexico resurgio como una nacion soberana, sus fronteras se extendian desde california a guatemala. en ese entonces era un antiguo e inmenso territorio conformado por regiones etnica, linguistica y economicamente diversas que luchaban por adquirir unidad nacional. texas ( en ese entonces parte de los estados mexicanos de coahuila y tejas ) era una region fronteriza lejos de las densas urbes y de los fertiles valles de mexico central, donde se reclutaban inmigrantes de los estados unidos. en el ano 1836 este territorio mexicano se declaro como republica independiente ( y mas tarde, estado de ee. uu. ), convirtiendose en el primer calderon de la cultura mexicoamericana. hacia 1853, el gobierno de mexico, el vecino debil de un estados unidos en expansion, habia perdido el territorio de los actuales estados de california, nevada, utah, arizona, nuevo mexico, texas y partes de colorado y wyoming. a pesar de la imposicion de un nuevo limite fronterizo, la presencia historica y ocupacional de los espanoles, mexicanos y pueblos indigenas, junto a sus descendientes mestizos, constituiria a lo largo del tiempo una influencia determinante para el desarrollo del oeste americano.

octodon degus is generally considered endemic to west central chile, where it inhabits the lower slopes of the andes. although some have argued that its range may extend north into peru, this is not well supported. it is common in the international pet trade, however, and is often used in laboratory studies outside of its native range. ( contreras, et al., 1987 ; woods and boraker, 1975 ) octodon degus inhabits a mediterranean - type semi - arid shrubland ecosystem called " matorral ", which is found on the western slopes of the andes between 28 and 35 degrees south latitude. further north the climate becomes too arid to support this plant community, and further south it is too wet. degus appear to be limited to elevations below 1200 meters, both by the distribution of their habitat and by their intolerance of low oxygen partial pressure. degus are well able to inhabit lands influenced by cattle grazing, and are agricultural pests in some areas. ( contreras, et al., 1987 ; fulk, 1976 ) octodon degus superficially resembles a gerbil, but is much larger. degus typically weigh between 170 and 300 g, and measure between 325 and 440 mm in length, including the tail. the fur is yellow - brown on the back and head, and the underparts and feet are cream colored. there is a pale band around the eye and, in some individuals, the neck. the tail is moderately long and conspicuously tufted. the ears are large and darkly pigmented. the fifth digit is reduced, and on the forefeet it has a nail instead of a claw. the cheekteeth are hypsodont and their biting surfaces resemble a figure of eight. sexes are difficult to distinguish, but males tend to be about 10 % larger than females. pups are born furred and able to see, and begin exploring within hours of birth. octodon degus can be distinguished from the two other members of the genus octodon by slight differences in dental morphology. it is also smaller than its relatives and its tail is said to be more noticeably tufted. ( fulk, 1976 ; lee, 2004 ) during the annual breeding season, male - male aggression temporarily increases. males exclude other males from their burrow and monopolize the females ( usually 2 to 4 ) who live there. dustbathing and urine marking may be used in the defense of territory by both sexes, but these behaviors particularly increase in the male during

exclude other males from their burrow and monopolize the females ( usually 2 to 4 ) who live there. dustbathing and urine marking may be used in the defense of territory by both sexes, but these behaviors particularly increase in the male during the breeding season. courting males often engage in mutual grooming with females, and frequently perform a courtship ritual which involves wagging of the tail and trembling of the body. the male then raises a hind leg and sprays urine onto the female. this may serve to familiarize her with his scent and perhaps make her more receptive to his advances in the future. receptive females may sometimes enurinate males in a similar fashion. related female degus may nurse each other ' s young. ( ebensperger and caiozzi, 2002 ; fulk, 1976 ; kleiman, 1974 ; soto - gamboa, 2005 ) in the wild degus tend to breed once per year. the breeding season usually begins in late may ( autumn in chile ), and the young are conceived in late winter to early spring ( september to october ). in wet years, degus may produce second litters. it has been suggested that degus may be induced ovulators, but this has not been established for certain. there is also some evidence that male reproductive organs may be sensitive to changes in photoperiod. the gestation period is 90 days, and litter size is typically 4 - 6 pups. the young are precocial. they are born with fur and teeth ; their eyes are open and they are able to move about the nest on their own. pups are weaned at 4 to 5 weeks, and become sexually mature between 12 and 16 weeks of age. degus do not reach adult size until about 6 months of age, however, and they generally live in same - sex social groups until they are about 9 months old and their first breeding season occurs. it has been reported that pups raised in isolation in the laboratory experience severe neural and behavioral abnormalities. ( ebensperger and hurtado, 2005 ; lee, 2004 ; woods and boraker, 1975 ) before conception can occur, the male degu must invest considerable energy in the defense of his territory and harem from other males. the female subsequently expends considerable energy in gestation and lactation. the pregnancy is relatively long for a rodent, and the young are born well developed. after birth, both parents protect and provision the pups. degus nest

males. the female subsequently expends considerable energy in gestation and lactation. the pregnancy is relatively long for a rodent, and the young are born well developed. after birth, both parents protect and provision the pups. degus nest communally, and groups of related females nurse one another ' s young. in the laboratory, the female remains close to the pups until two weeks after birth, and males have been observed to huddle with the young during this period without instances of infanticide. in the wild, male degus may spend as much time feeding and huddling with the young as females do. pups begin to eat solid food at about two weeks of age, and venture out of the burrow at three weeks. upon weaning at four to six weeks, the pups are able to live independently of the parents and form same - sex social groups until their first breeding season. ( ebensperger and hurtado, 2005 ; fulk, 1976 ; lee, 2004 ; woods and boraker, 1975 ) in laboratory conditions, degus typically live five to eight years. degus are social and tend to live in groups of one to two males and two to five related females. females participate in rearing on another ' s young. groups maintain territories throughout much of the year. degus are semi - fossorial, digging extensive communal burrow systems. these burrows are often shared by bennett ' s chinchilla rat ( abrocoma bennettii ). degus feed exclusively above ground, however, and have been observed climbing into the low branches of shrubs while foraging. dustbathing is an important social behavior among degus. groups repeatedly mark favorite wallows with urine and anal gland secretions. this may help the group identify each other by scent as well as delineating territorial boundaries. degus are mainly diurnal, and are most active during the morning and evening. ( ebensperger, et al., 2004 ; fulk, 1976 ; woods and boraker, 1975 ) fulk ( 1976 ) estimated that social groups of degus occupy home areas of roughly 200 square meters, and that their density is about 75 degus per hectare. this may be an underestimate, however, due to the trapping methods used. ( fulk, 1976 ) degus have well - developed sight, smell, and hearing. they are highly vocal and use various calls to communicate with one another, including alarm calls, mating calls, and communication between parents

to the trapping methods used. ( fulk, 1976 ) degus have well - developed sight, smell, and hearing. they are highly vocal and use various calls to communicate with one another, including alarm calls, mating calls, and communication between parents and young. vision is very important in avoidance of predators and in foraging. it has been shown that degus are able to see ultraviolet wavelengths, and that their urine reflects in the uv range when fresh. it has therefore been suggested that degus ' urine scent marks are also visual cues. these scent marks are also used as dust wallows, allowing members of a social group to identify each other by scent. ( chavez, et al., 2003 ; fulk, 1976 ; woods and boraker, 1975 ) degus are generalist herbivores. they feed on the leaves, bark, and seeds of shrubs and forbs. among their favorite foods are the bark of cestrum palqui and mimosa cavenia, leaves and bark of proustia cuneifolia, atriplex repunda, and acacia caven, annuals such as erodium cicutarum when in season, green grasses, and thistle seeds. degus choose food items that reduce fiber and increase nitrogen and moisture in the diet, and thus prefer young leaves and avoid woodier shrubs. degus rely on microbial fermentation in their enlarged cecum ( they are " hindgut fermenters " ) to digest their food. they reingest a large percentage of their feces, usually during the night. this allows them to maximize their digestion. degus store food in the winter, and it has been reported that they occasionally eat meat in old age. ( gutierrez and bozinovic, 1998 ; kenagy, et al., 1999 ; veloso and kenagy, 2005 ; woods and boraker, 1975 ) octodon degus is subject to predation by larger mammals such as culpeo foxes ( lycalopex culpaeus ), and from the air by raptors such as barn owls ( tyto alba ), short - eared owls ( asio flammeus ), and black - chested buzzard eagles ( geranoaetus melanoleucus ). degus use vigilance and cover to avoid predators. their pelage is also counter - shaded and matches the soil color, which reduces visibility to predators. degus live socially and use alarm calls to warn others

melanoleucus ). degus use vigilance and cover to avoid predators. their pelage is also counter - shaded and matches the soil color, which reduces visibility to predators. degus live socially and use alarm calls to warn others of danger. when a predator is spotted, they take cover in shrubby areas and may retreat to the communal burrow. ( ebensperger and wallem, 2002 ; woods and boraker, 1975 ) octodon degus affects the plant community in its habitat by selective browsing. degus behaviorally reduce the fiber content of their diet, preferrentially eating shrubs such as adesmia bedwellii, baccharis paniculata, and chenopodium petioare, which are less fibrous and less thorny than others. these species have been shown to increase their foliage area upon exclusion of degus. as degus are very common, they are themselves an important food source for their predators. ( gutierrez and bozinovic, 1998 ) degus often live in association with bennett ' s chinchilla rats ( abrocoma bennettii ). the two species are known to share burrow systems and have even been observed in the same chamber within a burrow. this is believed to be a mutualistic relationship, but it is not well understood. ( fulk, 1976 ; woods and boraker, 1975 ) degus are frequently kept as pets, and are used extensively in laboratory research. because they are largely diurnal, they are useful in research on circadian rhythms, and their intolerance of sugars makes them ideal models for diabetes research. ( lee, 2004 ) degus are significant agricultural pests in some areas. they take advantage of cultivated prickly pear cactus, wheat, vineyards, and orchards as abundant food sources, and can do considerable damage. they are also known to host three species of parasites that can infect humans.

details of glycemic index ( gi ) the gi scale the glycemic index uses a scale from 1 to 100, which indicates the rate at which 50 grams of carbohydrate in a particular food is absorbed into the bloodstream as blood - sugar. the main reference food ( rated 100 ) is glucose. gi rating categories the glycemic index divides carbohydrate foods into three categories : gi food testing is ongoing not all foods have been given a gi value, although most food - types are covered. however, due to the way gi is measured using volunteer subjects, results can vary, so gi values for some specific foods are not yet uniformly established. gi - diabetes and weight control although the glycemic index was first designed to assist diabetes patients manage their blood - sugar levels, dietitians and weight experts now use it as a tool to help treat obesity, food cravings and appetite swings, and improve eating habits. both the type and quantity of carbohydrate in our food influence the rise in blood glucose. but the glycemic index only rates a standard 50 gram serving size of digestible carbohydrate in a particular food, which may not be appropriate for all foods. for example, foods whose serving size contains only a small amount of carbohydrate may in practice be better for blood sugar control than foods whose normal serving size contains a large amount of carbs. therefore, to provide a more meaningful gi - rating system, researchers at harvard university invented the term glycemic load, which applies the glycemic index to normal food serving sizes. obesity, overweight and

1. why is extremism an issue in prisons? extremist groups often pose special security risks in prisons. they may encourage the overthrow of the government, and prison officials can be targeted as agents of " illegal " government authority. further, their literature often encourages ethnic hatred, promoting a violent and racially charged prison atmosphere. since the 1980s, white supremacist organizations have spread throughout the american prison system, beginning with the growth of aryan brotherhood. 1 aryan nations, although not permitting inmates to become members, has engaged in " prison outreach " since 1979. in 1987, it began publishing a " prison outreach newsletter " called the way to facilitate recruitment. aryan nations also disseminates its literature and letters to inmates. the world church of the creator and some identity church groups engage in similar outreach activity, as do other racist groups, such as nation of islam. the situation is further complicated by the fact that nonideological criminal prison gangs are often organized based on race, which increases racial polarization. imprisoned extremists also pose a security threat by continuing their activities while incarcerated. they recruit inmates, and teach other inmates extremist tactics. some imprisoned extremists also have attempted to continue to influence adherents outside of prison by, for instance, publishing newsletters from the prison to maintain their outside following. prison officials have responded in various ways, reflecting the fact that each state has its own prison system ( as do cities, counties and the federal government ), and that prisons have varying populations. at times, prison officials have tried to limit access to extremist literature, and these responses have occasionally given rise to litigation because they potentially impinge upon inmates ' first amendment rights. the questions are especially complicated when the censored material comes from a group that claims to be religious. 1 aryan brotherhood, at one time associated with aryan nations, began as a virulent racist and anti - semitic prison gang, and has since developed into a crime gang associated with extortion, drug operations and prison violence. 2. do inmates have the same first amendment rights as everybody else? the united states supreme court has said that " prison walls do not form a barrier separating prison inmates from the protections of the constitution. " nevertheless, inmates ' first amendment rights are less extensive than other citizens ' and their rights can be limited due to security or other penological concerns. because of the particular challenges administrators face running prisons, the supreme court has acknowledged there is a compelling government interest which warrants limiting prisoners ' rights. courts have

than other citizens ' and their rights can be limited due to security or other penological concerns. because of the particular challenges administrators face running prisons, the supreme court has acknowledged there is a compelling government interest which warrants limiting prisoners ' rights. courts have been deferential to prison officials ' assessments of security threats, and sensitive to their related regulatory decisions, even if such decisions impact inmates ' first amendment rights. a prison regulation that impinges on an inmate ' s constitutional rights will be upheld in court if that regulation is reasonably related to legitimate penological objectives. this means that, generally, prison officials can ban extremist materials from prisons because of concerns that the distribution of such material will undermine prison security. extremist books, leaflets, and magazines have been forbidden to prisoners on this basis. such material has not been allowed through the mail and has not been kept in the prison library. however, prisons have less discretion to limit inmates ' religious practices than other first amendment rights due to a new federal law. because of the religious land use and institutionalized persons act ( rluipa ), prison officials ' discretion in limiting access to extremist material may depend in part on whether such material is related to an inmate ' s religious exercise. therefore, prison regulations that affect religious exercise, including access to religious literature, will be reviewed carefully if challenged in court. 3. what legal standard is used to determine the constitutionality of prison regulations? the supreme court announced the standard under which it would review the constitutionality of prison regulations in turner v. safley, a case involving a challenge to a complete prohibition on inmate marriage. as noted earlier, a prison regulation is constitutional if it is reasonably related to legitimate penological objectives. under this standard, courts have upheld regulations based on the consideration of certain factors : - is there a valid, rational connection between the prison regulation and the legitimate governmental interest put forward to justify it? - are there alternative means of exercising the assert - ed right that remain open to inmates? - how great a negative impact will accommodating the inmates ' rights have on guards, other inmates, a nd on the allocation of prison resources? courts will consider the existence of obvious and easy alternatives to a challenged regulation as evidence of a regulation ' s arbitrariness. 4. is the same legal standard used to determine the constitutionality of prison regulations that implicate an inmate ' s right to free exercise of religion? no, the same standard is not applicable to determining the constitutionality of prison regulations

of review of such decisions. courts have tended to find prison regulations that ban all literature from particular groups unconstitutional. however, the determination of the constitutionality of a given regulation or the implementation of the regulation has tended to be very fact - specific. courts look not only at the regulation at issue but also consider the nature of the prison ( high, medium, or low security ) and the particular administrative challenges faced by the prison ( such as crowding and quantity of incoming mail ) in determining reasonableness, or the practical existence of less restrictive alternative measures. 6. can prison officials apply the same restrictions to outgoing prison material? the supreme court does not allow content regulation with respect to outgoing mail from inmates. while outgoing mail can be searched for contraband, 2 content regulation of outgoing mail is also more restricted because it implicates the first amendment rights of non - prisoner addressees. 3 in addition, outgoing material does not pose a threat to internal prison security ; therefore content limitations have been considered less urgent. however, regulations can limit the content of outgoing mail categorically. for example, escape plans, threats, running a business, and blackmail are categories that have been disallowed. therefore, correspondence from prisoners to extremist groups cannot be banned outright because of its content. however, inmates can be prevented from distributing a newsletter from prison when doing so constitutes running a business. 2 special rules exist with respect to attorney - client correspondence or mail that implicates an inmate ' s right to access the courts that are beyond the scope of this discussion. 3 however, prison officials can forbid all correspondence between incarcerated individuals. 7. can extremist " missionaries " be prevented from visiting prisons? prison officials can ban categories of prison visitors, such as former inmates or visitors who have previously broken visiting rules. an extremist " missionary " can be barred from a prison because of generally applicable rules. in addition, prisons can create procedures for requesting visiting ministers, and impose conditions on the selection of the ministers, such as sponsorship by an outside religious organization. prison officials can also exclude prison " missionaries " if they are advocating violence or otherwise fomenting prison unrest by encouraging racial tension. however, under rluipa, the prison would have to show that any restrictions on visiting clergy are the least restrictive means of achieving its end. prison officials do not have a responsibility to hire a minister for each religious denomination represented in the prison population. however, if visiting ministers of one denomination are compensated, visiting ministers of other denominations must be equally compensated. security

restrictive means of achieving its end. prison officials do not have a responsibility to hire a minister for each religious denomination represented in the prison population. however, if visiting ministers of one denomination are compensated, visiting ministers of other denominations must be equally compensated. security limitations can be placed on inmate - led prayer or services, but again, under rluipa, the prison would have to show that any restrictions on such gatherings is the least restrictive means of achieving its end. for example, it is more likely that the prison could limit the frequency of such meetings, the number of attendees and require supervision than that such gatherings could be banned outright. 8. under what circumstances must prisons accommodate prisoners ' religious dietary requirements? accommodating religiously based dietary rules has become an issue when dealing with extremists because incidents have raised concern that extremists " adopt " religious practices that are not based on sincere beliefs in order to obtain special privileges, such as specialized diets. generally, if an inmate ' s request for a special diet is because of a sincerely held belief and religious in nature, the inmate has a constitutionally protected interest. under rluipa, a request for a special religious diet can only be refused based on a compelling prison interest and if it is the least restrictive means possible for the prison protecting that interest. prisons may offer more limited food selection to prisoners with religious dietary limitations, such as providing only cold kosher meals rather than hot food. in the past, when determining whether a prison was required to provided a special diet for a prisoner, courts have considered whether the dietary restrictions were central to the prisoner ' s religious observance. under rluipa, such a determination would probably not be relevant. the threshold question in evaluating the prison ' s obligation to accommodate a request would still be whether the inmate ' s dietary request arose out of sincerely held beliefs that were religious in nature.

wikipedia sobre fisica de particulas rapidinho. me falaram que a definicao de fisica de particulas da wikipedia era muito ruim. e de fato, era assim : particle physics is a branch of physics that studies the elementary particle | elementary subatomic constituents of matter and radiation, and their interactions. the field is also called high energy physics, because many elementary particles do not occur under ambient conditions on earth. they can only be created artificially during high energy collisions with other particles in particle accelerators. particle physics has evolved out of its parent field of nuclear physics and is typically still taught in close association with it. scientific research in this area has produced a long list of particles. mas hein? particulas que so podem ser criadas em aceleradores? fisica de particulas e ensinada junto com fisica nuclear? a pesquisa produz particulas ( essa e otima! )? em que mundo essa pessoa vive? reescrevi : particle physics is a branch of physics that studies the existence and interactions of particles, which are the constituents of what is usually referred as matter or radiation. in our current understanding, particles are excitations of quantum fields and interact following their dynamics. most of the interest in this area is in fundamental fields, those that cannot be described as a bound state of other fields. the set of fundamental fields and their dynamics are summarized in a model called the standard model and, therefore, particle physics is largely the study of the standard model particle content and its possible extensions. eu acho que ficou bem melhor. vamos ver em quanto tempo algum editor esquentado da wikipedia vai demorar para reverter. atualmente esta um saco participar da wikipedia por causa dessas pessoas.

- published : 19 mar 2013 - views : 42 - author : t. a. b possibly testing on weans, that worries me http : / / www. bbc. co. uk / news / world - us - canada - 21849808. a vaccine is a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease. a vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease - causing microorganism, and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins or one of its surface proteins. the agent stimulates the body ' s immune system to recognize the agent as foreign, destroy it, and " remember " it, so that the immune system can more easily recognize and destroy any of these microorganisms that it later encounters. vaccines can be prophylactic ( example : to prevent or ameliorate the effects of a future infection by any natural or " wild " pathogen ), or therapeutic ( e. g. vaccines against cancer are also being investigated ; see cancer vaccine ). the term vaccine derives from edward jenner ' s 1796 use of cow pox ( latin variola vaccinia, adapted from the latin vaccin - us, from vacca, cow ), to inoculate humans, providing them protection against smallpox. vaccines do not guarantee complete protection from a disease. sometimes, this is because the host ' s immune system simply does not respond adequately or at all. this may be due to a lowered immunity in general ( diabetes, steroid use, hiv infection, age ) or because the host ' s immune system does not have a b cell capable of generating antibodies to that antigen. even if the host develops antibodies, the human immune system is not perfect and in any case the immune system might still not be able to defeat the infection immediately. in this case, the infection will be less severe and heal faster. adjuvants are typically used to boost immune response. most often aluminium adjuvants are used, but adjuvants like squalene are also used in some vaccines and more vaccines with squalene and phosphate adjuvants are being tested. larger doses are used in some cases for older people ( 50 – 75 years and up ), whose immune response to a given vaccine is not as strong. the efficacy or performance of the vaccine is dependent on a number of factors : when a vaccinated individual does develop the disease vaccinated against, the disease is likely to be milder than without vaccination. the

is not as strong. the efficacy or performance of the vaccine is dependent on a number of factors : when a vaccinated individual does develop the disease vaccinated against, the disease is likely to be milder than without vaccination. the following are important considerations in the effectiveness of a vaccination program : in 1958 there were 763, 094 cases of measles and 552 deaths in the united states. with the help of new vaccines, the number of cases dropped to fewer than 150 per year ( median of 56 ). in early 2008, there were 64 suspected cases of measles. 54 out of 64 infections were associated with importation from another country, although only 13 % were actually acquired outside of the united states ; 63 of these 64 individuals either had never been vaccinated against measles, or were uncertain whether they had been vaccinated. vaccines are dead or inactivated organisms or purified products derived from them. there are several types of vaccines in use. these represent different strategies used to try to reduce risk of illness, while retaining the ability to induce a beneficial immune response. some vaccines contain killed, but previously virulent, micro - organisms that have been destroyed with chemicals, heat, radioactivity or antibiotics. examples are the influenza vaccine, cholera vaccine, bubonic plague vaccine, polio vaccine, hepatitis a vaccine, and rabies vaccine. some vaccines contain live, attenuated microorganisms. many of these are live viruses that have been cultivated under conditions that disable their virulent properties, or which use closely related but less dangerous organisms to produce a broad immune response. although most attenuated vaccines are viral, some are bacterial in nature. they typically provoke more durable immunological responses and are the preferred type for healthy adults. examples include the viral diseases yellow fever, measles, rubella, and mumps and the bacterial disease typhoid. the live mycobacterium tuberculosis vaccine developed by calmette and guerin is not made of a contagious strain, but contains a virulently modified strain called " bcg " used to elicit an immune response to the vaccine. the live attenuated vaccine containing strain yersinia pestis ev is used for plague immunization. attenuated vaccines have some advantages and disadvantages. they have the capacity of transient growth so they give prolonged protection, and no booster dose is required. but they may get reverted to the virulent form and cause the disease

immunization. attenuated vaccines have some advantages and disadvantages. they have the capacity of transient growth so they give prolonged protection, and no booster dose is required. but they may get reverted to the virulent form and cause the disease. toxoid vaccines are made from inactivated toxic compounds that cause illness rather than the micro - organism. examples of toxoid - based vaccines include tetanus and diphtheria. toxoid vaccines are known for their efficacy. not all toxoids are for micro - organisms ; for example, crotalus atrox toxoid is used to vaccinate dogs against rattlesnake bites. protein subunit – rather than introducing an inactivated or attenuated micro - organism to an immune system ( which would constitute a " whole - agent " vaccine ), a fragment of it can create an immune response. examples include the subunit vaccine against hepatitis b virus that is composed of only the surface proteins of the virus ( previously extracted from the blood serum of chronically infected patients, but now produced by recombination of the viral genes into yeast ), the virus - like particle ( vlp ) vaccine against human papillomavirus ( hpv ) that is composed of the viral major capsid protein, and the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase subunits of the influenza virus. subunit vaccine is being used for plague immunization. conjugate – certain bacteria have polysaccharide outer coats that are poorly immunogenic. by linking these outer coats to proteins ( e. g. toxins ), the immune system can be led to recognize the polysaccharide as if it were a protein antigen. this approach is used in the haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine. a number of innovative vaccines are also in development and in use : while most vaccines are created using inactivated or attenuated compounds from micro - organisms, synthetic vaccines are composed mainly or wholly of synthetic peptides, carbohydrates or antigens. vaccines may be monovalent ( also called univalent ) or multivalent ( also called polyvalent ). a monovalent vaccine is designed to immunize against a single antigen or single microorganism. a multivalent or polyvalent vaccine is designed to immunize against two or more strains of the same microorganism, or against two or more microorganisms. in certain cases a monovalent vaccine may be preferable for rapidly developing a strong

. in order to provide best protection, children are recommended to receive vaccinations as soon as their immune systems are sufficiently developed to respond to particular vaccines, with additional " booster " shots often required to achieve " full immunity ". this has led to the development of complex vaccination schedules. in the united states, the advisory committee on immunization practices, which recommends schedule additions for the centers for disease control and prevention, recommends routine vaccination of children against : hepatitis a, hepatitis b, polio, mumps, measles, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, hib, chickenpox, rotavirus, influenza, meningococcal disease and pneumonia. the large number of vaccines and boosters recommended ( up to 24 injections by age two ) has led to problems with achieving full compliance. in order to combat declining compliance rates, various notification systems have been instituted and a number of combination injections are now marketed ( e. g., pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and mmrv vaccine ), which provide protection against multiple diseases. besides recommendations for infant vaccinations and boosters, many specific vaccines are recommended at other ages or for repeated injections throughout life — most commonly for measles, tetanus, influenza, and pneumonia. pregnant women are often screened for continued resistance to rubella. the human papillomavirus vaccine is recommended in the u. s. ( as of 2011 ) and uk ( as of 2009 ). vaccine recommendations for the elderly concentrate on pneumonia and influenza, which are more deadly to that group. in 2006, a vaccine was introduced against shingles, a disease caused by the chickenpox virus, which usually affects the elderly. sometime during the 1770s edward jenner heard a milkmaid boast that she would never have the often - fatal or disfiguring disease smallpox, because she had already had cowpox, which has a very mild effect in humans. in 1796, jenner took pus from the hand of a milkmaid with cowpox, inoculated an 8 - year - old boy with it, and six weeks later variolated the boy ' s arm with smallpox, afterwards observing that the boy did not catch smallpox. further experimentation demonstrated the efficacy of the procedure on an infant. since vaccination with cowpox was much safer than smallpox inoculation, the latter, though still widely practiced in england, was banned in

that the boy did not catch smallpox. further experimentation demonstrated the efficacy of the procedure on an infant. since vaccination with cowpox was much safer than smallpox inoculation, the latter, though still widely practiced in england, was banned in 1840. louis pasteur generalized jenner ' s idea by developing what he called a rabies vaccine, and in the nineteenth century vaccines were considered a matter of national prestige, and compulsory vaccination laws were passed. the twentieth century saw the introduction of several successful vaccines, including those against diphtheria, measles, mumps, and rubella. major achievements included the development of the polio vaccine in the 1950s and the eradication of smallpox during the 1960s and 1970s. maurice hilleman was the most prolific of the developers of the vaccines in the twentieth century. as vaccines became more common, many people began taking them for granted. however, vaccines remain elusive for many important diseases, including malaria and hiv. | | the neutrality of this section is disputed. please see the discussion on the talk page. please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved. ( october 2011 ) | | | this article is missing information about scientific rebuttal to the attacks. this concern has been noted on the talk page where whether or not to include such information may be discussed. ( october 2011 ) | opposition to vaccination, from a wide array of vaccine critics, has existed since the earliest vaccination campaigns. although the benefits of preventing suffering and death from serious infectious diseases greatly outweigh the risks of rare adverse effects following immunization, disputes have arisen over the morality, ethics, effectiveness, and safety of vaccination. some vaccination critics say that vaccines are ineffective against disease or that vaccine safety studies are inadequate. some religious groups do not allow vaccination, and some political groups oppose mandatory vaccination on the grounds of individual liberty. in response, concern has been raised that spreading unfounded information about the medical risks of vaccines increases rates of life - threatening infections, not only in the children whose parents refused vaccinations, but also in other children, perhaps too young for vaccines, who could contract infections from unvaccinated carriers ( see herd immunity ). one challenge in vaccine development is economic : many of the diseases most demanding a vaccine, including hiv, malaria and tuberculosis, exist principally in poor countries. pharmaceutical firms and biotechnology companies have little incentive to develop vaccines for these diseases, because there is little revenue potential. even in more

is economic : many of the diseases most demanding a vaccine, including hiv, malaria and tuberculosis, exist principally in poor countries. pharmaceutical firms and biotechnology companies have little incentive to develop vaccines for these diseases, because there is little revenue potential. even in more affluent countries, financial returns are usually minimal and the financial and other risks are great. most vaccine development to date has relied on " push " funding by government, universities and non - profit organizations. many vaccines have been highly cost effective and beneficial for public health. the number of vaccines actually administered has risen dramatically in recent decades. [ when? ] this increase, particularly in the number of different vaccines administered to children before entry into schools may be due to government mandates and support, rather than economic incentive. the filing of patents on vaccine development processes can also be viewed as an obstacle to the development of new vaccines. because of the weak protection offered through a patent on the final product, the protection of the innovation regarding vaccines is often made through the patent of processes used on the development of new vaccines as well as the protection of secrecy. vaccine production has several stages. first, the antigen itself is generated. viruses are grown either on primary cells such as chicken eggs ( e. g., for influenza ), or on continuous cell lines such as cultured human cells ( e. g., for hepatitis a ). bacteria are grown in bioreactors ( e. g., haemophilus influenzae type b ). alternatively, a recombinant protein derived from the viruses or bacteria can be generated in yeast, bacteria, or cell cultures. after the antigen is generated, it is isolated from the cells used to generate it. a virus may need to be inactivated, possibly with no further purification required. recombinant proteins need many operations involving ultrafiltration and column chromatography. finally, the vaccine is formulated by adding adjuvant, stabilizers, and preservatives as needed. the adjuvant enhances the immune response of the antigen, stabilizers increase the storage life, and preservatives allow the use of multidose vials. combination vaccines are harder to develop and produce, because of potential incompatibilities and interactions among the antigens and other ingredients involved. vaccine production techniques are evolving. cultured mammalian cells are expected to become increasingly important, compared to conventional options such as chicken eggs, due to greater productivity and low incidence of problems with contamination. recombination technology that produces genetically detoxified vaccine is expected to grow

evolving. cultured mammalian cells are expected to become increasingly important, compared to conventional options such as chicken eggs, due to greater productivity and low incidence of problems with contamination. recombination technology that produces genetically detoxified vaccine is expected to grow in popularity for the production of bacterial vaccines that use toxoids. combination vaccines are expected to reduce the quantities of antigens they contain, and thereby decrease undesirable interactions, by using pathogen - associated molecular patterns. in 2010, india produced 60 percent of world ' s vaccine worth about $ 900 million. many vaccines need preservatives to prevent serious adverse effects such as staphylococcus infection that, in one 1928 incident, killed 12 of 21 children inoculated with a diphtheria vaccine that lacked a preservative. several preservatives are available, including thiomersal, phenoxyethanol, and formaldehyde. thiomersal is more effective against bacteria, has better shelf life, and improves vaccine stability, potency, and safety, but in the u. s., the european union, and a few other affluent countries, it is no longer used as a preservative in childhood vaccines, as a precautionary measure due to its mercury content. although controversial claims have been made that thiomersal contributes to autism, no convincing scientific evidence supports these claims. there are several new delivery systems in development [ when? ] that will hopefully make vaccines more efficient to deliver. possible methods include liposomes and iscom ( immune stimulating complex ). the latest developments [ when? ] in vaccine delivery technologies have resulted in oral vaccines. a polio vaccine was developed and tested by volunteer vaccinations with no formal training ; the results were positive in that the ease of the vaccines increased. with an oral vaccine, there is no risk of blood contamination. oral vaccines are likely to be solid which have proven to be more stable and less likely to freeze ; this stability reduces the need for a " cold chain " : the resources required to keep vaccines within a restricted temperature range from the manufacturing stage to the point of administration, which, in turn, may decrease costs of vaccines. a microneedle approach, which is still in stages of development, uses " pointed projections fabricated into arrays that can create vaccine delivery pathways through the skin ". a nanopatch is a needle free vaccine delivery system which is under development. a stamp - sized patch similar to an adhesive bandage contains about 20, 000

uses " pointed projections fabricated into arrays that can create vaccine delivery pathways through the skin ". a nanopatch is a needle free vaccine delivery system which is under development. a stamp - sized patch similar to an adhesive bandage contains about 20, 000 microscopic projections per square inch. when worn on the skin, it will deliver vaccine directly to the skin, which has a higher concentration of immune cells than that in the muscles, where needles and syringes deliver. it thus increases the effectiveness of the vaccination using a lower amount of vaccine used in traditional syringe delivery system. the use of plasmids has been validated in preclinical studies as a protective vaccine strategy for cancer and infectious diseases. however, in human studies this approach has failed to provide clinically relevant benefit. the overall efficacy of plasmid dna immunization depends on increasing the plasmid ' s immunogenicity while also correcting for factors involved in the specific activation of immune effector cells. vaccinations of animals are used both to prevent their contracting diseases and to prevent transmission of disease to humans. both animals kept as pets and animals raised as livestock are routinely vaccinated. in some instances, wild populations may be vaccinated. this is sometimes accomplished with vaccine - laced food spread in a disease - prone area and has been used to attempt to control rabies in raccoons. where rabies occurs, rabies vaccination of dogs may be required by law. other canine vaccines include canine distemper, canine parvovirus, infectious canine hepatitis, adenovirus - 2, leptospirosis, bordatella, canine parainfluenza virus, and lyme disease among others. vaccine development has several trends : principles that govern the immune response can now be used in tailor - made vaccines against many noninfectious human diseases, such as cancers and autoimmune disorders. for example, the experimental vaccine cyt006 - angqb has been investigated as a possible treatment for high blood pressure. factors that have impact on the trends of vaccine development include progress in translatory medicine, demographics, regulatory science, political, cultural, and social responses. | modern vaccine and adjuvant production and characterization, genetic engineering & biotechnology news | the world news ( wn ) network, has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to user privacy. the following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for wn. com, as well

wars have given us the jeep, the computer and even the microwave. will the war in iraq give us the tiger? military scientists at edgewood chemical biological center at aberdeen proving ground hope so. the machine - its full name is the tactical garbage to energy refinery - combines a chute, an engine, chemical tanks and other components, giving it the appearance of a lunar rover. it ' s designed to turn food and waste into fuel. if it works, it could save scores of american and iraqi lives. among the biggest threats that soldiers face in the war in iraq are the roadside bombs that have killed or maimed thousands since the u. s. - led invasion in 2003. because some military bases lack a landfill, transporting garbage to dumps miles away in the desert has become a potentially fatal routine for u. s. troops and military contractors. the tiger would attempt to solve two problems at once : it would sharply reduce those trash hauls and provide the military with an alternative source of fuel. it is the latest in a long line of wartime innovations, from can openers to desert boots. the conflict in iraq has produced innovations such as " warlocks, " which jam electronic signals from cell phones, garage door openers and other electronic devices that insurgents use to detonate roadside bombs, according to inventors digest. " in wartime, you ' re not worried about making a profit necessarily. you ' re worried about getting the latest technology on the street, " said peter kindsvatter, a military historian at aberdeen proving ground, who added that money is spent more freely for research when a nation is at war. " basically, you find yourself in a technology race with your enemy. " the tiger, now being tested in baghdad, would not be the first device to turn garbage into energy - a large incinerator near baltimore ' s downtown stadiums does it. but it would be among the first to attempt to do it on a small scale. its creators say it could one day become widely used in civilian life, following the lead of other wartime innovations. during world war ii, contractors developed the jeep to meet the military ' s desire for a light, all - purpose vehicle that could transport supplies. the development of radar technology to spot nazi planes led to the microwave, according to historians. the world war ii era also gave birth to the first electronic digital computer, the electronic numerical integrator and computer, or eniac. funded by the defense department, the machine was built to compute ballistics tables that soldiers used to mechanically aim large

the world war ii era also gave birth to the first electronic digital computer, the electronic numerical integrator and computer, or eniac. funded by the defense department, the machine was built to compute ballistics tables that soldiers used to mechanically aim large guns. for years it was located at aberdeen proving ground. this decade, the pentagon determined that garbage on military bases poses a serious logistical problem. " when you ' re over in a combat area and people are shooting at you, you still have to deal with your trash, " said john spiller, project officer with the army ' s rapid equipping force, which is funding the tiger project. " how would you feel if somebody was shooting at you every other time you pushed it down the curb? " he and other army officials said they could not recall any specific attacks against troops or contractors heading to dumpsites. for years, large incinerators have burned trash to generate power. baltimore refuse energy systems co., the waste - to - energy plant near the stadiums, consumes up to 2, 250 tons of refuse a day while producing steam and electricity. the process is so expensive that it has only made sense to do it on a large scale, scientists say. the military has spent almost $ 3 million on two tiger prototypes, each weighing nearly 5 tons and small enough to fit into a 20 - to 40 - foot wide container. the project is being developed by scientists from the edgewood, va. - based defense life sciences llc and indiana ' s purdue university. the biggest challenge was getting the parts to work together, said donald kennedy, an edgewood spokesman. because the tiger is a hybrid consisting of a gasifier, bioreactor and generator, much of it is built with off - the - shelf items, including a grinder. another big challenge : expectations. " when we would initially talk to people about the tiger system, a large percentage would refuse to believe it could actually work, " kennedy wrote in an e - mail. " alternatively, a similar percentage would be so intrigued by the idea that they would demand to know when they could buy one for their neighborhood. " the tiger works like this : a shredder rips up waste and soaks it in water. a bioreactor metabolizes the sludge into ethanol. a pelletizer compresses undigested waste into pellets that are fed into a gasification unit, which produces composite gas. the ethanol, composite gas and a 10 - percent diesel drip are injected into

the sludge into ethanol. a pelletizer compresses undigested waste into pellets that are fed into a gasification unit, which produces composite gas. the ethanol, composite gas and a 10 - percent diesel drip are injected into a diesel generator to produce electricity, according to scientists. it takes about six hours for the tiger to power up. when it works, the device can power a 60 - kilowatt generator. the prototypes are being tested at camp victory in baghdad initial runs proved successful. the prototypes have been used to power an office trailer. at their peak, they could power two to three trailers. in recent weeks, the scientists suffered a setback : the above - 100 degree temperatures caused a chiller device to overheat and shut off occasionally. a new chiller from edgewood just arrived at the site, kennedy said. after the 90 - day testing phase that ends aug. 10, the army will decide whether to fund the project further. its developers envision the device being used to respond to crises such as hurricane katrina, when there is no lack of garbage but a great need for electricity. spiller, of the army ' s rapid equipping force, said he is optimistic. " the mere fact we wrote a check means we think it ' s got a high chance of success, " spiller said.

then and now, there is ample proof that americans do take supreme court nominations seriously. with good reason. sooner or later, the nation ' s most vexing disagreements over our most vital issues wind up before the supreme court. none quite penetrates to the core of our democratic being more than those involving first amendment rights and values. each term, the nine justices must grapple with profound questions involving freedom of speech, freedom of thought and freedom to participate in political discourse : just how free is freedom of speech? what is the role of religion in public life? does national security trump the public ' s right to know? during the court ' s last three terms, the first amendment has not fared well. the high court has accepted for review far fewer free - expression - related cases than usual and it has been unusually stingy in recognizing first amendment claims. in only two of the 15 decisions rendered in free - expression cases did the court sustain those claims. how the first amendment will fare in the future depends on how chief justice john roberts differs from his predecessor, william rehnquist, and how miers, if confirmed, differs from o ' connor. during his 33 years on the court as an associate justice and chief justice, rehnquist consistently voted against free - speech and free - press claims. o ' connor, however, played a pivotal role during her time as justice, frequently casting the decisive fifth vote in religion cases and occasionally in expression cases. the justices over the next 12 months will hear arguments, review briefs and render opinions in several cases that have direct bearing on whether we have full or constricted freedoms when we wish to play a role in the crucial political, cultural or religious issues that confront us. in five cases, the court will once more take up the question of whether state laws regulating campaign contributions and expenditures pose an unconstitutional threat to political expression : is money speech? the issues of compelled speech and government funding of speech are raised in another case. a coalition of university law schools which object to the military ' s ban against acknowledged homosexuals contends that requiring them to allow military recruiters on campus violates their rights. another case tests the limits of the free exercise of religion. the justices will decide whether the federal government can prohibit a small group of followers of a brazilian religious sect in new mexico from importing a banned substance, a hallucinogenic tea, for use in its ceremonies. in a case involving anti - abortion protests appearing before the court for the third time since 1986, the justices ' ruling could affect protest

sect in new mexico from importing a banned substance, a hallucinogenic tea, for use in its ceremonies. in a case involving anti - abortion protests appearing before the court for the third time since 1986, the justices ' ruling could affect protest and picketing rights and practices. and a los angeles deputy district attorney wants the court to declare that his free - speech rights were violated when he was disciplined for informing a defense attorney about ethical problems in a pending case. the confirmation process for miers should be complete by the end of the year. at present, chances seem good that she will be confirmed. since 1789, the senate has rejected only 34 of 155 nominations to the supreme court. not much is known about roberts ' views on these issues ; even less about miers '. first amendment advocates, of course, hope they set the new court on a new course as far as free expression is concerned. in that regard, justice brandeis set a great example as a first amendment champion during his 23 years on the supreme court. " those who won our independence, " he wrote in 1927, " believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty. they believed that freedom to think as you will and to speak as you think are means indispensable to the discovery and spread of political truth. " the cause of liberty would be better served if this court ' s future rulings transcend individual temperament and ideology to embrace the freedom for speech and the tolerance for belief that define a vital democracy. editor ' s note : paul k. mcmasters is first amendment ombudsman at the first amendment center, 1101 wilson blvd., arlington, va. 22209. web : www. firstamendmentcenter. org. e - mail : email @ example. com.

the vaunted protection that intellectually active adults get from alzheimer ’ s disease has a dark downside, a study released wednesday has found. once dementia symptoms become evident and alzheimer ’ s disease is diagnosed in such patients, their mental decline can come with frightening speed. that finding, published in the journal neurology, comes from a study of 1, 157 chicago - based seniors who were followed for an average of just over 11 years. six years after gauging the extent to which the study participants engaged in activities that challenged their mental capacities, researchers from rush university medical center alzheimer ’ s disease center made periodic assessments of the study participants ’ cognitive health and traced the trajectories of their brain health. all told, 148 of the participants were diagnosed with alzheimer ’ s disease during the follow - up period, and 395 were found to have mild cognitive impairment — intellectual problems that are less severe than alzheimer ’ s disease, but which often precede such a diagnosis. while all participants ’ mental function showed yearly declines, the steepest downward trajectories belonged to those who had been diagnosed with alzheimer ’ s disease, but who had reported high levels of mental engagement at the outset of the study. fellow alzheimer ’ s sufferers who had not sought out much intellectual stimulation at the study ’ s outset showed a more gradual decline in their function. “ in effect, the results of this study suggest that the benefit of delaying the initial appearance of cognitive impairment [ in alzheimer ’ s disease ] comes at the cost of more rapid dementia progression, ” the author wrote. the findings support a common observation of those who treat intellectually minded patients who go on to be diagnosed with alzheimer ’ s disease — that once diagnosed, their decline is rapid. it also underscores a growing body of evidence that the bright and mentally - active may not beat alzheimer ’ s disease, but can hold off its ravages for months or years longer than those who are not so engaged. dr. john m. ringman, a ucla neurologist and assistant director of the mary s. easton center for alzheimer ’ s disease research, said he sees regular evidence of the phenomenonen in his clinical work, as well as in brain - imaging scans that can detect the physical signs of alzheimer ’ s disease while a patient is still alive : patients with a history of intensive mental engagement seem to develop a “ cognitive reserve, ” said dr. ringman. that mental strength frequently allows them to function almost normally, he said, even as the amyloid plaques and neuro

belgian physicist francois englert, left, speaks with british physicist … ( fabrice coffrini / afp / getty … ) for physicists, it was a moment like landing on the moon or the discovery of dna. the focus was the higgs boson, a subatomic particle that exists for a mere fraction of a second. long theorized but never glimpsed, the so - called god particle is thought to be key to understanding the existence of all mass in the universe. the revelation wednesday that it - - or some version of it - - had almost certainly been detected amid more than hundreds of trillions of high - speed collisions in a 17 - mile track near geneva prompted a group of normally reserved scientists to erupt with joy. for the record los angeles times friday, july 06, 2012 home edition main news part a page 4 news desk 1 inches ; 48 words type of material : correction large hadron collider : in some copies of the july 5 edition, an article in section a about the machine used by physicists at the european organization for nuclear research to search for the higgs boson referred to the $ 5 - billion large hadron collider. the correct amount is $ 10 billion. peter higgs, one of the scientists who first hypothesized the existence of the particle, reportedly shed tears as the data were presented in a jampacked and applause - heavy seminar at cern, the european organization for nuclear research. " it ' s a gigantic triumph for physics, " said frank wilczek, an mit physicist and nobel laureate. " it ' s a tremendous demonstration of a community dedicated to understanding nature. " the achievement, nearly 50 years in the making, confirms physicists ' understanding of how mass - - the stuff that makes stars, planets and even people - - arose in the universe, they said. it also points the way toward a new path of scientific inquiry into the mass - generating mechanism that was never before possible, said ucla physicist robert cousins, a member of one of the two research teams that has been chasing the higgs boson at cern. " i compare it to turning the corner and walking around a building - - there ' s a whole new set of things you can look at, " he said. " it is a beginning, not an end. " leaders of the two teams reported independent results that suggested the existence of a previously unseen subatomic particle with a mass of about 125 to 126 billion electron volts. both groups got

he said. " it is a beginning, not an end. " leaders of the two teams reported independent results that suggested the existence of a previously unseen subatomic particle with a mass of about 125 to 126 billion electron volts. both groups got results at a " five sigma " level of confidence - - the statistical requirement for declaring a scientific " discovery. " " the chance that either of the two experiments had seen a fluke is less than three parts in 10 million, " said uc san diego physicist vivek sharma, a former leader of one of the higgs research groups. " there is no doubt that we have found something. " but he and others stopped just shy of saying that this new particle was indeed the long - sought higgs boson. " all we can tell right now is that it quacks like a duck and it walks like a duck, " sharma said. in this case, quacking was enough for most. " if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it ' s probably at least a bird, " said wilczek, who stayed up past 3 a. m. to watch the seminar live over the web while vacationing in new hampshire. certainly cern leaders in geneva, even as they referred to their discovery simply as " a new particle, " didn ' t bother hiding their excitement. the original plan had been to present the latest results on the higgs search at the international conference on high energy physics, a big scientific meeting that began wednesday in melbourne. but as it dawned on cern scientists that they were on the verge of " a big announcement, " cousins said, officials decided to honor tradition and instead present the results on cern ' s turf. the small number of scientists who theorized the existence of the higgs boson in the 1960s - - including higgs of the university of edinburgh - - were invited to fly to geneva. for the non - vip set, lines to get into the auditorium began forming late tuesday. many spent the night in sleeping bags. all the hubbub was due to the fact that the discovery of the higgs boson is the last piece of the puzzle needed to complete the so - called standard model of particle physics - - the big picture that describes the subatomic particles that make up everything in the universe, and the forces that work between them. over the course of the 20th century, as physicists learned more about the standard model, they struggled to answer one very basic question : why does

discrimination against citizens because of their sexual orientation or their youth is just as unfair as discrimination based on race, religion or gender. access to housing, hotels, theaters and restaurants should be equal to all, as a matter of plain fairness. the palm beach county commission recognized this truth in passing an ordinance protecting homosexuals, unmarried couples and young people from discrimination in renting or buying housing and in public accommodations. the ordinance also bans discrimination based on race, religion, gender, ethnic origin or disability, but it was the protection of gays that generated opposition and demands for a countywide referendum on the issue. no other florida county protects homosexuals against housing discrimination. in the 1970s, dade county passed a similar ordinance but it was repealed in a voter referendum after a bitter fight. a broward county effort to revise the human rights law to protect homosexuals is more complicated. the broward law was adopted through the florida legislature, so a revision must get legislative approval and be ratified in a public referendum. palm beach county ` s ordinance passed 4 - 1 ; commissioner ron howard dissented. the other four commissioners demonstrated courage by refusing to buckle under to opponents or to pass the buck to the public in a referendum. commissioners were elected to make tough decisions ; this time they did. the ordinance provides exceptions : a landlord who lives on his property of four or fewer housing units and rents the rest won ` t have to comply. nor will a seasonal resident who rents his home to someone else part of the year and lives in it himself the rest of the time. also exempt are religious organizations that own housing units. those sensible exceptions leave the vast majority of housing covered under the new ordinance. violators will face fines of up to $ 50, 000, but it may be difficult to prove a violation. early decisive action against violators by law enforcers, prosecutors and judges could make a clear statement that the county means business and won ` t tolerate further discrimination in housing and public accommodations.

" helplessness " and " confusion " are words that easily come to mind when the issue of sick building syndrome is mentioned. it is a problem that does not have a regulatory solution, and is bound with engineering, medicine and emotions that will challenge the best of school administrators. a careful management style and knowledgeable use of technologies in medicine, toxicology and property maintenance are a school administrator ' s best allies in preparing to deal with or prevent this new generation of health and safety challenges. defining sick building syndrome there is no regulatory definition for sick building syndrome. although it often relates to indoor - air - quality problems, it simply means that the environment of a building is inspiring complaints of discomfort and / or disease. fundamentally, the causes of sick buildings relate to architecture and engineering patterns institutionalized in school construction following world war ii. schools of glass, rock and wood, with high ceilings, cross - ventilation via a transom over the door, and windows and radiators that could be adjusted by teachers no longer were built. these schools were being replaced with new, factory - like buildings featuring a temperamental, eccentric system of master controls for indoor environment. buildings were constructed with no regard to the environment around them or to people within the property. today, allowing for the ambiguity in defining sick buildings, somewhere between 1 - in - 5 and 1 - in - 15 school facilities are in a situation where discomfort and disease can be attributed to operations of the building. health symptoms in a sick building are highly variable, but generally split into three categories : - radical reaction - - a number of people clearly and suddenly ill. this usually involves limited air exchange combined with a " smoking gun, " which can include a new chemical cleaner, misbatched chlorine in a pool area, a weather inversion preventing a kiln from venting properly or a failure of a mechanical air - exchange system. - unhealthy atmosphere - - many people experiencing ongoing subtle illness or discomfort. the most common symptoms involve the dehydration of sensitive tissue, including sore eyes, throat or nasal membranes ; a feeling of lethargy ; a higher incidence of upper - respiratory infection ; asthmatic reactions ; low - grade headaches ; and a continuum of muscle pain and general discomfort among building occupants. much of this relates to oxygen deprivation typically caused by oxygen being displaced by other compounds, and occasionally by infestation of microbes as a result of excessive moisture remaining within the property. - hypersensitive reaction or multiple chemical sensitivity reaction - - one or two individuals extremely

oxygen deprivation typically caused by oxygen being displaced by other compounds, and occasionally by infestation of microbes as a result of excessive moisture remaining within the property. - hypersensitive reaction or multiple chemical sensitivity reaction - - one or two individuals extremely ill. this can result if even tiny exposures occur to anyone that has a highly sensitive reaction to certain chemicals. typically, these complaints should be viewed as warnings that some low - level toxin is in the area. although sick building syndrome usually relates to the general nature of the building itself, there are some specifics that account for most indoor - air problems : * combustibles ; any possible introduction of carbon monoxide. * moisture as it may relate to mold ( look for growths on drywall ). * moisture as it may relate to airborne infectious agents ( standing water and consequent growths ). * volatile organic compounds ( vocs ), usually cleaning agents or building materials, which may give off unpleasant, sometimes toxic gases. * formaldehydes in new carpet, pressed wood or other building products. * any new or newly exposed particleboard. * applied poisons ( pesticides, insecticides, rodenticides, herbicides ). a proactive approach administrators are dealing with a generation of post - world war ii properties prone to indoor - air - quality problems, particularly buildings constructed or remodeled during the 1970s energy crisis. a school district should take several steps before a problem strikes. first, initiate patterns for preventing air - quality problems. second, establish baseline information that will profile the building to facilitate an efficient, inexpensive and confidence - inspiring response. building occupants and the community need to see a clear and confident administrative approach should a problem arise in the future. the proactive investigation of the building should involve a limited amount of basic testing, particularly a professional review of the microbial matrix within the building - - the number of colony - forming units or what kinds of microbes presently are nesting in the building. understanding what is living in the ambient air can help administrators understand if there is a problem or, more importantly, can help to quickly isolate the exact nature of a problem. similarly, administrators should consider hiring an outside contractor to review how air - handling and mechanical - engineering systems are managed. a knowledgeable person should walk the area and observe the mechanical systems to see how the filtering system, the air - dispersion system and the air - dilution patterns of the building are operating. finally, a reliable epidemiological profile of comparative absenteeism should

ethiopian kids hack zoom tablets in five months. the one laptop per child ( olpc ) project recently tried a new approach to distributing computers to developing countries, by leaving boxes of tablets in remote ethiopian villages with no instructions. the motorola zoom tablets had a custom english language os, a solar charger, and tracking software to monitor how they were used. to the surprise of the organization, not only could the kids who started using the tablets easily figure out how to switch on and use them, but they also learnt to hack into the os and enable features - amazing especially seeing as most of the kids had never seen a printed word before, let alone in english. “ we left the boxes in the village. closed. taped shut. no instruction, no human being. i thought, the kids will play with the boxes! within four minutes, one kid not only opened the box, but found the on / off switch. he ’ d never seen an on / off switch. he powered it up. within five days, they were using 47 apps per child per day. within two weeks, they were singing abc songs [ in english ] in the village. and within five months, they had hacked android. some idiot in our organization or in the media lab had disabled the camera! and they figured out it had a camera, and they hacked android. ” olpc used the experiment to see whether kids can teach themselves to read and write english. research shows that 100, 000, 000 kids worldwide don ’ t even make to to first grade, often because there are no schools or teachers available. for the cost of a tablet, that could all change. previous olpc studies have also shown that the kids will also teach their parents to read and write as well.

the independent jane for all the love, romance and scandal in jane austen ’ s books, what they are really about is freedom and independence. independence of thought and the freedom to choose. elizabeth ’ s refusal of mr. collins offer of marriage showed an independence seldom seen in heroines of the day. her refusal of mr. darcy while triggered by anger showed a level of independence that left him shocked and stunned. the freedom she exhibited in finally accepting him in direct defiance of lady catherine and knowing her father would disapprove was unusual even for austen. in her last book anne elliot is persuaded to refuse captain wentworth at lady russel ’ s insistence. although jane played by the rules of the day, all of her writing is infused with how she wanted life to be. she ‘ screams ’ her outrage at the limitations for women in emma. when accosted by mrs. elton, jane fairfax says, “ excuse me, ma ’ am, but this is by no means my intention ; i make no inquiry myself, and should be sorry to have any made by my friends. when i am quite determined as to the time, i am not at all afraid of being long unemployed. there are places in town, offices, where inquiry would soon produce something — offices for the sale, not quite of human flesh, but of human intellect. ” “ oh! my dear, human flesh! you quite shock me ; if you mean a fling at the slave - trade, i assure you mr. suckling was always rather a friend to the abolition. ” “ i did not mean, i was not thinking of the slave - trade, ” replied jane ; “ governess - trade, i assure you, was all that i had in view ; widely different certainly, as to the guilt of those who carry it on ; but as to the greater misery of the victims, i do not know where it lies. ” that same sentiment is emphasized in emma ’ s shock when mrs. weston tells her of frank churchill ’ s secret engagement to jane. “ good god! ” cried emma, “ jane actually on the point of going as governess! what could he mean by such horrible indelicacy? to suffer her to engage herself — to suffer her even to think of such a measure! ” i find it interesting that at the moment of austen ’ s birth or there about, john adams left his farm in massachusetts for the continental congress in philadelphia. doesn ’ t sound particularly interesting, i know but consider this. john adams left his home in mid

find it interesting that at the moment of austen ’ s birth or there about, john adams left his farm in massachusetts for the continental congress in philadelphia. doesn ’ t sound particularly interesting, i know but consider this. john adams left his home in mid - december 1775 to attend an unprecedented meeting of colonial representatives to consider severing ties with their mother country and her monarch ; a decision that culminated in a document unlike any ever written. in the mother country, one day in that same cold december a baby girl was born at steventon rectory. her cry was heard by only the people in the house but the years to come would see her pen create works unlike any the world had ever seen. comparing austen ’ s words with thomas jefferson ’ s may seem a trivialization but i believe that austen ’ s impact on the world is no less important than jefferson ’ s. the effect of jane ’ s writing maybe more subtle than that of the virginian but it is no less influential. jefferson ’ s words instigated and promoted a revolution, a war of independence. jane ’ s words had no such excessive consequence. still in her own quiet, genteel yet powerful way she declared and promoted the same principles of freedom and self - regulated independence as our american forefathers. in all her novels jane advocates independence of person and thought, the rights of all and acceptance of responsibility for those rights. jane may not have incited military action as jefferson did but even as an avowed royalist, i doubt not that jane austen firmly believed in his declaration of the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

" got nothing but blue skies " it is september 19, 1783. the place, lyons, france. preparations are being made for a journey. a journey that will eventually take man from his secure environment of terra firma, and place him in a hostile environment called the atmosphere. the vehicle to be used is a hot air balloon. the brainchild behind this trek is a wealthy paper maker named joseph montgolfier. there has been much speculation over just how montgolfier made the discovery of the hot air balloon. the most commonly - believed story is that his wife was standing too close to a fire and that the smoke caused her skirt to be inflated and lifted above her knees. this caused montgolfier to wonder - if this smoke, and its magical lifting powers, could be captured in a very large container, it might rise and lift a passenger along with it. so, montgolfier went about building the first hot air balloon. in 1783, not much was known about the atmosphere and its effects on human beings. upon examination of the occupants for any ill effects caused by this lofty height, it was discovered that the duck had a broken wing. could this have been an effect of exposure to altitude? actually, several observers noted that as the balloon left the ground, the sheep had an anxiety attack and kicked the duck. montgolfier reasoned that it would be safe for humans to ascend to altitude. so on november 21, 1783, jean francois pilatre de rozier ( a surgeon ) became the first aeronaut and flight surgeon. over 200 years have passed since that first flight. technology has allowed us to ascend through the atmosphere and into space, but the hazards of high altitude flight ( hypoxia, altitude - induced decompression sickness, and trapped gases ) will always be present. that is because humans are best suited to live in what is known as the " physiological efficient zone ". this zone extends from sea level to 12, 000 feet. when humans are exposed to altitudes above this zone, they are subjected to physiological hazards beyond their natural ability to adapt. one thing to keep in mind is that everything that occupies space and exerts weight is considered to be matter. all matter is made up of atoms and molecules in varying densities. these particles within the matter are kinetic and in constant motion. the slower the motion of the particles, the more dense the matter becomes. also, as the particles are pushed closer together, the matter also becomes more dense. the best

varying densities. these particles within the matter are kinetic and in constant motion. the slower the motion of the particles, the more dense the matter becomes. also, as the particles are pushed closer together, the matter also becomes more dense. the best way to slow down kinetic molecules is to cool the matter. the best way to get them to move closer together is to add pressure to the matter. inversely, when you remove the pressure or heat any material, the molecules within the material moves faster and further apart, thus making the material less dense. the least dense form of matter is, of course, gas. if a gas is cooled and compressed, at some point it will become a liquid. if that liquid is then cooled further, then at some point it will become a solid. also, when you take the pressure off any gas or liquid, that material will grow less dense and expand. this is essentially what happens to the gaseous molecules of our atmosphere. our atmosphere contains approximately 79 % nitrogen and 21 % oxygen, a constant ratio until you reach an altitude of about 270, 000 feet. so the question that always comes up is ; " if i have 21 % oxygen at sea level and 21 % at 40, 000 feet, why do i succumb to the effects of hypoxia within 20 seconds at that altitude? " the answer is, atmospheric pressure! if you could picture all the gaseous nitrogen and oxygen molecules in the atmosphere, they would stack up from the surface of the earth to the fringe of space. all these molecules stacking on top each other create a great deal of weight, or pressure. at sea level, one square - inch of any surface has about 15 pounds of air sitting on top of it. at 18, 000 feet, that same square inch has only 7. 5 pounds per square - inch ( psi ) exerted on it. what has caused this atmospheric pressure drop? the answer is simple : there is more air stacked up at sea level than above 18, 000 feet, and therefore, more weight. as you recall, when molecules are subjected to this pressure, they are going to move closer together. this will make the air more dense with oxygen and nitrogen molecules. for example, if at sea level you take in a breath of air that has an atmospheric pressure of 15 psi, then that air may contain 500 billion molecules of oxygen ( this a fictitious number to be used only as an example ) ; if you go to 18, 000 feet and take the same breath where atmospheric pressure

air that has an atmospheric pressure of 15 psi, then that air may contain 500 billion molecules of oxygen ( this a fictitious number to be used only as an example ) ; if you go to 18, 000 feet and take the same breath where atmospheric pressure is 7. 5 psi, then you will pull in only 250 billion molecules of oxygen. but, you require 500 billion per breath to function normally, and you ' re getting only half of what you need. that ' s hypoxia! not only do gaseous molecules in the atmosphere expand with reduced total pressure, gases in the human body are also subject to the same expansion. there are several areas in the body - ears, sinuses, lungs, gastro - intestinal tract, and teeth - where these gases can expand and cause a variety of problems. as long as the gas can expand and escape, there will be no problem. but if the gas becomes trapped, then pain will be the usual result. as we have discussed earlier, the air we breathe contains about 79 % nitrogen. nitrogen is inhaled into the lungs and distributed and stored throughout the body. according to gas laws, gases of higher pressure always exert force towards areas of low pressure. when you inhale nitrogen, it will be stored at a pressure of about 12 psi ( 79 % nitrogen ) of 15 psi ( total atmospheric pressure ), equal to about 12 psi ). when you ascend to altitude and the pressure around your body begins to drop, this creates a pressure gradient ( higher nitrogen in the body than outside the body ) and the nitrogen will try to equalize and escape outside the body. sometimes this nitrogen can leave so quickly and in such quantify that it may form a bubble. if this bubble forms at a body joint, the pain it causes is know as " the bends. " these are just a few of the problems that can occur when the human body is exposed to high altitude conditions. these problems will always be there for aviation. but through education and knowledge of the mechanisms that cause these problems, we can take steps toward protection and prevention so that your blue skies won ' t give you a case of the blues. by j. r. brown | savstop online magazine contact us return home | grab this headline animator

nursing a critically ill state back to health | indranill basu ray highlights the core problems that afflict bengal ' s health sector and suggests a few ways to improve the situation | despite many technological and other achievements that have propelled india from being a developing nation to one of the top economies of the world, one field that india continues to lag behind in is health. this is why stories of babies dying in large numbers haunt newspaper headlines. india is behind bangladesh and sri lanka in life expectancy at birth or under - five mortality level. india accounts for about 17 per cent of the world population, but it contribute to a fifth of the world ' s share of diseases. a third of all diarrhoeal diseases in the world occurs in india. the country has the second largest number of hiv / aids cases after south africa. it is home to one - fifth of the world ' s population afflicted with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. a common excuse that i often hear is that we have limited resources to tackle the huge and burgeoning health problems. but even the richest country on earth, the united states of america, has failed to provide appropriate health services to a large section of the populace. the problem in india is quite different. apart from being a poor nation with limited resources, it also has a sizeable population in need of basic health services. furthermore, the lack of appropriate sanitary measures and education ensures an ever increasing presence of communicable disease that have been controlled and even eradicated in the developed nations. india ' s list of woes does not stop here. lack of foresight on the part of successive governments and selective and fragmented strategies to counter daily problems without a definite public health goal have been the mainstay of india ' s health policies. resource allocation to this sector is influenced by the prevailing fiscal situation as well as by the priorities of the reigning government. unfortunately, in bengal — a state that faces a dismal fiscal situation — the government ' s priorities have been skewed as a result of political necessities. although we have a new government at the helm, it is important to realize that gross changes at the practical level cannot be initiated without having a team with experience and knowledge define a well - thought - out strategy. it is also essential to have a government that is willing to fulfil the financial needs necessary for the strategy to work. it is difficult, if not impossible, to paint a picture of the present state of public health in west bengal and to suggest measures to rec

essential to have a government that is willing to fulfil the financial needs necessary for the strategy to work. it is difficult, if not impossible, to paint a picture of the present state of public health in west bengal and to suggest measures to rectify the same in a short article like this. my intention is to highlight the core problems plaguing the system and to suggest solutions based on accepted principles of public health and healthcare management. the steps that need to be taken are as follows : reducing disease burden, including infectious diseases as well as non - communicable epidemics like diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease ; restructuring the existing primary healthcare system to make it more accountable ; creating a skilled and professional workforce which is quality driven ; financial planning to bring more investment to the health sector. reducing disease burden is the cornerstone of any good health policy. the factors that help reduce communicable diseases are clean drinking water, improved sanitation and an effective vaccination programme. a paradigm shift, from the prevalent curative approach to a preventive approach, including health promotion by inculcating behavioural changes, is imperative to reduce disease burden. west bengal is one of four states that urgently needs high investment in safe drinking water and toilet facilities. it is estimated that rs 18, 000 crore is required to provide effective drinking water and sanitation facilities for the entire country. kerala, maharashtra, west bengal and odisha would account for more than 60 per cent of the total outlay. similarly, a huge investment is required to provide nutritional supplements to malnourished children and pregnant and lactating mothers living below the poverty line. according to a report by the national commission on macroeconomics and health, west bengal would need to harness an additional resource requirement of rupees ( in crore ) 1, 286, 2, 459, 4, 693, 13, 811 and 8, 485 in sectors such as health, water and sanitation, nutrition, primary schooling and roads. it has been projected that in the next five years west bengal will spend a large portion of its revenues on wages and salaries, interest payments and pensions, leaving very little for discretionary expenditure in the field of health. it is imperative that the present government rethink and strategize in collaboration with the centre to ensure the appropriate funding necessary to make the state healthy. restructuring the present healthcare delivery system is also equally important. most primary healthcare centres are old, dilapidated buildings with few or no facilities. some do not even have basic resources like healthcare

with the centre to ensure the appropriate funding necessary to make the state healthy. restructuring the present healthcare delivery system is also equally important. most primary healthcare centres are old, dilapidated buildings with few or no facilities. some do not even have basic resources like healthcare workers or pharmacists. what is required is a radical overhaul of the existing system. there are differences in health systems of different countries. a state - run health system, such as the one in canada, suffers from delayed medical care. a privately - run health system like the one in the us provides only limited health services to its poor. india ' s healthcare should carve out the best of both systems. private healthcare is thriving in india. it is uncontrolled and aimed at profit - making. government - run hospitals are poorly managed, providing few or no facilities to those living below the poverty line. different models have been suggested to take care of this disparity. while private investment will always be geared towards profit - making, it is mandatory to rein in these bodies under well - defined rules. large private hospitals in the us are non - profit bodies, which have to follow stringent rules in patient care. at the other end of the spectrum is the national health service in britain in which small, medium and even a few large hospitals are making way for a more competent and accountable government - controlled health system with fewer hospitals. human resource management is very important in running an effective health system. one of the biggest lacunae of government health service is its poor human - resource management. many physicians are not paid appropriate salaries or are posted in places that are not of their choice. political intervention and favouritism play a big role in posting physicians. consequently, dedicated physicians who want to serve the public or work in the academic setting found in government hospitals are forced to remain in private hospitals. to boost morale and efficacy, discipline needs to be instituted in the system and a transparent posting policy adopted. the doctor - population ratio needs to be improved by filling up vacancies in the west bengal health service. it is important to free postings from the grip of bureaucrats to ensure the registration of quality candidates. physicians failing to report to duty or indulging in indiscipline must be punished. doctors who do sign up need to provide relevant and quality medical care. this can only be done if some form of recertification of doctors is made mandatory once every 10 years. physicians ' salaries in the state health service must be made on a par with those of the

up need to provide relevant and quality medical care. this can only be done if some form of recertification of doctors is made mandatory once every 10 years. physicians ' salaries in the state health service must be made on a par with those of the central government to make sure that it remains a lucrative option. senior physicians providing exemplary public service must be rewarded for the same. a commonly - held notion is that most physicians run after the lucrative salaries that are offered in private hospitals. hence it is difficult to retain them in the government sector. this, however, is true of a minority. the majority of physicians are willing to work in a healthy, progressive and academic environment if there are appropriate non - financial incentives. let us take the example of christian medical college, vellore. most of the faculty there are paid salaries that are much lower than those of the private sector. however, physicians are provided with other facilities such as good housing, free schools, free - to - highly - subsidized college education and, most importantly, a progressive and research oriented work environment. west bengal lags behind many other states when it comes to medical education. there is an urgent need to increase the number of medical colleges in the state. private investment for the same should be welcomed but appropriate laws must be instituted so that huge capitation fees are not charged for seats. furthermore, selection should be made through competitive examinations. a certain percentage of seats can be reserved for the economically weaker sections. students passing out of such medical colleges must be given postings in rural hospitals. this has been true on paper for many decades now, but the rule has been poorly implemented even in government - run medical colleges. innovative schemes ought to be thought of to involve the cash - rich private sector to service the medical needs of the state. private institutions using government money or land must be asked to provide free service to 20 per cent of their capacity. appropriate punitive measures — such as temporarily withholding or cancelling licences — can be taken when a private institution fails to honour this commitment. institutions willing to set up large hospitals, particularly around calcutta, must be helped through the provision of low - cost land. but in return, promises to set up satellite hospitals in far - flung district headquarters have to be met. the biggest challenge to the rejuvenation of the healthcare system is the garnering of funds. west bengal is financially broke, thanks to the misrule of the communists. unlike most other communist rulers, our home - grown variants failed to provide basic sanitation

challenge to the rejuvenation of the healthcare system is the garnering of funds. west bengal is financially broke, thanks to the misrule of the communists. unlike most other communist rulers, our home - grown variants failed to provide basic sanitation, good roads, a working healthcare system and appropriate nutritional supplements to women and children. the lack of social services resulted in poor health and in increased mortality among the vulnerable sections of society. government efforts to improve basic health services must fund programmes that provide sanitation, nutritional supplements, and daily meals for school - going children. substantial investments in these sectors can reduce mortality in children. it is popular to blame doctors for not being able to save severely ill, malnourished children. but things won ' t change unless determined steps are taken to root out the problems, such as poor funds, minimal resources and an incompetent workforce, that affect the west bengal health service. in the next five years, in collaboration with the centre and the non - government organizations involved in public health, the state government must chalk out a definitive strategy to improve the supply of clean drinking water, provide better sanitation and one full meal to school - going children and arrange for nutritional supplements to pregnant women. private investment should be wooed in the health sector to set up hospitals in large metropolitan areas as well as in small district towns. while government land is needed at an appropriate price to help investors build hospitals, steps must be taken to bring about the inclusion of the deprived sections in their service plans. strong regulatory bodies that can monitor private hospitals and nursing homes must be instituted. many of the profiteering health institutions do not provide basic facilities, lack trained nurses and paramedical staff, and some are even run by quacks without medical degrees. it is of utmost importance that a regulatory body conducts surprise checks on these institutions, registers complaints and takes remedial steps. many ngos have been able to set up large projects benefiting thousands of people. they have also succeeded in bringing foreign aid to tackle malaria and hiv. the state government should help these ngos achieve their goals while exercising control to prevent financial irregularities. their services ought to be applauded and single - window processing of applications instituted to help them tackle bureaucratic delays. health is a service industry and not a lucrative business. unfortunately, in bengal, most large hospitals are owned by corporates. only a few are owned or run by doctors. there is thus a sustained effort to make profit. poor consumer protection makes the man on the street vulnerable to substandard service

the convention adjourned from july 26th to august 6th to allow the committee of detail – composed of john rutledge of south carolina, edmund randolph of virginia, nathaniel gorham of massachusetts, oliver ellsworth of connecticut, and james wilson of pennsylvania – to prepare a rough draft of a constitution, based on the series of resolutions the delegates had debated, amended, and debated again. when the convention re - convened, the committee of detail presented its report, made up of twenty - three articles. the convention spent the remainder of august reviewing and further revising these articles. we the people of … delegates quickly agreed to accept the committee of detail ’ s preamble and articles i and ii, affirming the new government would be called the unites states of america and consist of legislative, executive, and judicial branches. this agreement masked the critical issue that the convention had debated throughout – was this to be a union of states or of people? the committee of detail ’ s constitution began, “ we the people of the states ( emphasis added ) of new hampshire, massachusetts, rhode - island and providence plantations, connecticut, new - york, new - jersey, pennsylvania, delaware, maryland, virginia, north - carolina, south - carolina, and georgia, do ordain, declare, and establish the following constitution for the government of ourselves and our posterity. ” the convention would not end with that language in the preamble. representation : who, what, and how many? discussion of the committee of detail report continued to include the structure and powers of the legislative branch. some of the key questions included : who can elect representatives? how many representatives will there be? what will be their qualifications? delegates debated whether to allow non - land owners to the right to vote for house members, or reserve the franchise to property owners. gouverneur morris wanted to restrict voting to those with property, considering them more educated and better able to choose wise leaders. “ the ignorant and dependant, ” morris stated, “ can be … little trusted with the public interest. ” colonel mason countered arguments of this kind, saying all citizens should have equal voting rights and privileges. doctor franklin sided with colonel mason believing that restricting the right to vote to land owners would cause contention among the people. in the end morris ’ s proposal to restrict the franchise to property owners was defeated soundly ( 7 - 1 - 1 ). just as the convention rejected a plan to restrict voting to property owners, they also rejected a proposal to restrict elective

. in the end morris ’ s proposal to restrict the franchise to property owners was defeated soundly ( 7 - 1 - 1 ). just as the convention rejected a plan to restrict voting to property owners, they also rejected a proposal to restrict elective office to property owners. south carolina ’ s charles pinckney moved that “ the president of the u. s., the judges, and members of the legislature should be required to swear that they were respectively possessed of a cleared unencumbered estate ” – in an amount to be agreed upon by members of the convention. this proposal went nowhere. benjamin franklin expressed his “ dislike of every thing that tended to debase the spirit of the common people, ” and observed that “ some of the greatest rogues he was ever acquainted with, were the richest rogues. ” madison reports that pinckney ’ s motion “ was rejected by so general a no, that the states were not called. ” the convention did have a sentiment in favor of strong citizenship requirements for legislators. the committee of detail ’ s report required members of the house be u. s. citizens for three years prior to election, and members of the senate for four years. some, including george mason and morris, agreed that a lengthy citizenship requirement would protect the legislature from foreign intrigue. others, including madison and franklin, pointed to the number of foreign friends who had helped the states during the war for independence. delegates sided with mason and morris, agreeing to requirements that members of the house be citizens for seven years and members of the senate for nine years prior to election. on the question of how many representatives would make up the national legislature, article iv of the committee of detail report stated that the house of representatives would initially consist of sixty - five members, and that in the future, members of the house would be added “ at the rate of one for every forty thousand. ” madison, expecting the union to grow rapidly, thought that rate would quickly lead the house to grow too large. others thought that time would make this issue irrelevant. mr. nathaniel gorham from massachusetts asked, “ can it be supposed that this vast country including the western territory will 150 years hence remain one nation? mr. oliver ellsworth observed that “ if the government should continue so long, alterations may be made in the constitution ” through the amendment process. delegates agreed to add the language “ not exceeding ” to the one representative for 40, 000 citizen ratio, making that a ceiling and not a floor. controversy over this provision would re

in 2006, two scientists announced that they had cooked an egg by placing it in between two cell phones. it has been thrououghly disproven and analyzed since the surface of the claim, but it is still an excellent opportunity to use the scientific thinking principles on! # 1 : ruling out rival hypotheses this principle isn ' t the most relevant because the experiment doesn ' t exactly prove any hypotheses. but it can still apply to the attempt to cook an egg between two cell phones because there could be other effects causing that outcome. # 2 : correlation vs. causation there are so many other reasons that the egg could ' ve cooked! maybe it was really hot out? or the cell phone egg set up was within a microwave? not the most probable of all possible causations, but it proves the point. there could be many other ways this egg could ' ve cooked ( or in actuality, the fact that it didn ' t cook at all ) that we need to examine or at least acknowledge that they could be there. this claim is very out there so it has a really good chance of being able to be falsified. as we will see in # 4, after replicating the incident one can find almost instantly that it is in fact a hoax. as many people did, reproducing the egg cooking experiement will prove that it is in fact a hoax. every reproduction that was prodcued failed to yield the same results as the first, which made everything make sense when the site ' s webmaster that published the article stepped forward to say it was in fact completely fake. # 5 : extraordinary claims the claim that you can cook an egg with two cell phones is pretty extraordinary yet there is no extraordinary evidence to back it up! in fact, it is just too extraordinary to be real. # 6 : occam ' s razor in my mind, the simpliest explaination would be that it simply is not true. the end. i ' m not going to lie, if this claim was true i would be thrilled. in addition to being in awe of the power of technology, it would make cooking meals for myself in my dorm room a whole lot easier! unfortunately though, this is a hoax. with the help of the six principles of scientific thinking, i will never fall for this or any other raw food cooking claim ever again!

how to win at science fairs ( dec, 1960 ) how to win at science fairs by ronald benrey you can win at a science fair as long as one thing interests you more than winning does. this is your project itself. it is going to be judged on scientific thought, creative ability, and presentation. you will really have to know the field your project is concerned with. this takes effort. since you lack the means of a professional laboratory, you will have to do much with little. this takes trial and error and just plain work. your presentation must be attractive and clear. this means good workmanship, which takes time and care. you are going to have to show some originality. after all, there is no use doing what everybody else is doing : be different. for this, you have to have the other three under control. by the way, the “ laymen ” who see your exhibit will ask all kinds of questions. have good answers at your fingertips. the judges won ’ t be laymen, and any double - talk will scream to them that you don ’ t know your subject. it may also make them suspect that the best parts of your project are not your work. this would be unjust, perhaps, but deadly. now, whether your entry covers a large table top or can just be tucked under your arm, it is going to be a big job. it can ’ t be left for a “ crash program ” in the last few weeks before the fair. it is going to eat up big portions of your time, energy, and spending money for the next several months. all this demands your interest. but it isn ’ t simply a matter of “ fun. ” licking this challenge may be a turning point in your life. with or without a scholarship prize, your career may begin with it. as a reader of electronics illustrated your project will probably deal with electronics or applied physics rather than with biological or earth sciences. select your topic carefully from a broad subject that really interests you. a massive effort in the direction of a passing fancy will result in a mediocre project at best. take a limited subtopic that you think worth investigating and that you feel able to handle. to ease financial strain, plan now to build your project over a long period of time, say six months, on a pay - as - you - build basis. once you have a rough idea of your project ’ s general form, don ’ t dash into construction. visit technical libraries and learn all you can about current professional

of time, say six months, on a pay - as - you - build basis. once you have a rough idea of your project ’ s general form, don ’ t dash into construction. visit technical libraries and learn all you can about current professional work in the field, and its technical jargon. this will give you much important information and helpful hints, and when you finally face the judges, you will know your subject. here is a prickly question. it is up to you to be realistic and honest with yourself when you choose a topic. your science teachers and advisers will certainly be helpful, but the final decision must be yours. in other words, if you have never handled a soldering iron before, don ’ t take on a project requiring elaborate electronic instrumentation. if you have enough time you can work up to a complex project by building a few simpler devices, like many described in ei. this is another reason for starting now. – why not get your feet wet by assembling some test equipment from kits? you will certainly need a multimeter anyway, for any project, and it will be something you can use “ forever. ” another touchy subject : discussion of this often scares off good potential science fairers. nobody requires or expects a science fair project to produce a radical new scientific discovery. however, this does not imply that an entrant can ’ t find a new angle on an old problem. merely duplicating a project described in a magazine shows the judges only one thing : the builder can follow directions. the main benefit of entering a science fair is the challenge of thinking a real problem out, all the way through. your project can be for “ demonstration ” rather than “ research, ” but make sure you come up with fresh, clear, meaningful ways to present your material. stay away from last year ’ s winning project : it was good last year. avoid “ staples ” ( like tesla coils ) unless they are only part of a ‘ wider original project. your project should be well presented and look impressive, but impressive need not mean expensive. judges seldom look twice at an exhibit loaded down with excess and borrowed equipment when the same results could have been obtained more economically and without false show. novel use of common materials shows creative ability, and this is an important judging criterion. remember, how you solved your problem is what counts at a science fair, and not merely that you solved it. also, neatness counts! aside from being impossible to troubleshoot, a rat ’ s nest of

this is an important judging criterion. remember, how you solved your problem is what counts at a science fair, and not merely that you solved it. also, neatness counts! aside from being impossible to troubleshoot, a rat ’ s nest of wiring is typical of losing projects. time spent color - coding leads, installing wire harness and cable clamps will result in a much more attractive and more reliable project. but know what you are doing! don ’ t harness leads in a circuit that demands point - to - point wiring, or cable grid and plate leads together in an amplifier circuit. read up on layout and construction techniques, and allow yourself time to make and correct mistakes. prior planning will also pay off in dollars and cents, since you can save by purchasing some components ( like resistors ) in quantity, and if you live near a big city you can shop around for some items in the military surplus stores, modifying your design if necessary to take odd - value components. now, sit back and start your thinking. the time to start is right now. is your winning project here? radio telescope : home - built sensitive low - noise receiver, simple antenna system. try to make simple “ radio map. ” guidance system : for model ear. can be programmed to run around science fair grounds without hitting anything, or to reach pre - chosen destination. solar cells : home - built unit as part of demonstration of basic physics of solar cells : display on recent professional research results : off - beat practical applications ( eyeglass type hearing aid? ). moon mouse : “ to be landed on the moon. ” self - propelled, radio controlled from earth, instrumented and transmitter equipped. some functions solar powered? these are only suggestions. you may come up with ideas regarding fuel cells, space communications, navigation, etc.

with the development of science and technology, computer has become more and more popular in our daily life, which is intended to be a part of our life. but at the same time it also brings the safety problem, because increasing number of bad people would like to break into computer systems to steal the secret information. it seems that computer safety has been a serious problem by now. maybe you could learn something about the safety terms in microsoft so that you could adopt the different methods according to different cases. what is malware? in fact malware, short for “ malicious software ”, is any kind of software which is installed without your complete permission and is not in need at all. the famous malware areviruses, worms, and trojan horses, which are almost known to us all. even though you are not familiar with them, you must have heard of it at ordinary times. if you want to protect your computer from the malware, you could make sure that the automatic updating is turned on all the time to get the latest updates. 2 antispyware software antispyware software helps protect your computer, and prevent the pop - ups, slow performance, and security threats caused by spyware and other adverse software. every computer user must keep antispyware software up to date in order to keep in touch with the latest spyware. aimed at protecting our computer, we could use microsoft security essentials, free download software, to be against spyware and other malicious software. a firewall is used to help screen out hackers, viruses, and worms that try to attack your computer through the internet. in fact, if you are the one who use the computer at home, the most efficient and important step is to enable firewall when you start your computer. a virus will slip through and infect you ; the only effective way by protecting yourself is using a firewall. a firewall monitors your internet connections and allows you to specify which programs are allowed to connect and which are not. 4 antivirus software antivirus software is a kind of computer program which can be used to test, defend, and take actions to remove or delete malicious software program. as we all know, computer virus is some programs, which can specially disturb computer operation. so we should update antivirus software in regular time to prevent against the latest virus. 5 windows password besides the above mentioned software, you could have an alternative at the same time, namely windows password. with a password like this, you can prevent your privacy from being let out

. 8grams x kilogram of body weight / day how to convert pounds into kilograms : # pounds / 2. 2 = kg for example someone who weighs say 110 would be 50kg. so we take 50kg and multilpy that by. 8gm and they should be getting about 40 grams of protein a day. low protein diets can result in weak bones, muscle wasting, and decrease in time for wounds to heal. protein is essential in the diet and having enough is very important especially if you are exercising. when you are working with weights and building muscle adequate protein intake is essential in building those muscles. if you are taking a protein supplement in powder try to find one that does not have any added saturated or transaturated fats. there are some protein supplements out there that are made for gaining weight so they will have additional calories and fats in them. so make sure you read the label and everything says 0 except the protein. this brand is an excellent choice and very safe : just remember to read label and consult with your doctor if it is safe for you to take a protein supplement. the following foods are excellent sources of protein : - cottage cheese - nuts and seeds - soy beans - greek yogurt make sure at every meal you have a protein, a healthy carbohydrate ( whole wheat or whole grain ), and good fat. ( monounsaturated fats ) keep your meals and snacks balanced so you can stay full and not feel hungry throughout the day.

our opinion : fostering better nutrition is a key to reducing public health costs. that makes the scarcity of large grocery stores in some urban neighborhoods, especially poor ones, a matter of public policy. it ’ s easy, and comforting, to assume that in an modern, industrialized nation, everyone eats well. surely with programs like food stamps, even needy people are doing ok, right? more than 40, 000 people in albany and schenectady live in what are known as food deserts — places where a grocery store is at least a mile away. many are poor. the u. s. department of agriculture estimates that about 3, 700 of the more than 23, 000 people in albany who don ’ t live near a large grocer are poor. in schenectady, about 5, 400 of the more than 19, 000 people for whom a supermarket trip is more like a trek are low income. moreover, those estimates were based largely on information gathered before a recession that has made even more people poor. that ’ s not just an inconvenience. it ’ s a public health issue in a society where the problems associated with poor nutrition and obesity are linked to the growing cost of public health care. one suggestion for alleviating the problem comes from the american cancer society, which is reviving the controversial idea of a tax on soda and other sugar - sweetened drinks. the group suggests using the tax to help fund and evaluate child obesity programs. an even more productive use might be to devote a portion of such a tax to local efforts to lure larger grocery stores to urban neighborhoods that don ’ t have them now. it would seem doubtful, though, that the state legislature will be any more inclined to implement a soda tax than it was last year, when it refused to do so even with the prospect of raising $ 400 million in new revenue and even with the urging of the state health commissioner and then - gov. david paterson. that doesn ’ t mean it ’ s not worth trying for a soda tax — encouraging kids in particular to cut back on sugary beverages is not a bad goal at all, nor is raising funds that could be used to promote a healthier citizenry. but the more likely reality is that new york and communities will have to find ways to do something about poor nutrition and food deserts without the help of a soda tax. here ’ s one direction : since last march, capital district community gardens has been supplying nine convenience stores and markets with fresh produce under a five - year, $

yesterday ’ s house passage of cap - and - trade legislation designed to confront climate change is a landmark achievement, the first tangible step taken by the country that emits more greenhouse gas per capita than anyone in the world. the bill itself still faces a tough test in the senate. passage is far from assured, and without similar actions by other major emitting countries, it won ’ t mean much. but it does finally demonstrate to the rest of the world that the united states is prepared to do its part, which puts the pressure on them to follow suit. the bill itself, the product of a thousand political compromises, also isn ’ t perfect. but it also isn ’ t what its hysterical opponents claim it is. as bryan walsh acknowledges in time : … critics have vastly overstated the likely cost. in fact, they ’ re all but lying. during the house debate, republican whip eric cantor, using numbers from an american petroleum institute study, said that the bill would eventually cost more than $ 3, 000 per family per year — but those numbers assume that billions of tons worth of inexpensive carbon offsets won ’ t be available under the bill, which would significantly inflate the overall cost. that ’ s not going to happen. a more reliable study from the nonpartisan congressional budget office forecast that the bill would cost the average u. s. household $ 175 in higher energy costs annually by 2020 — and other studies estimate that the energy - efficiency provisions in the bill might even save americans money over time. when opponents are forced to lie so blatantly — in this case exaggerating the likely cost 17 times over — they don ’ t have much of an honest argument.

just as there are many variants and forms of electronic malware and internet - based threats around the globe, so there are many forms of protection against these threats. signature - based detection is one of the multifarious forms of defense that have been developed in order to keep us safe from malicious content. although signature - based detection can be argued to have been overshadowed by more sophisticated methods of protection in some environments, it remains as a core ‘ technique ’ featuring in the anti - virus controls of packages and suites that work to protect a user ’ s system today. how does signature - based detection work? signature - based detection works by scanning the contents of computer files and cross - referencing their contents with the “ code signatures ” belonging to known viruses. a library of known code signatures is updated and refreshed constantly by the anti - virus software vendor. if a viral signature is detected, the software acts to protect the user ’ s system from damage. suspected files are typically quarantined and / or encrypted in order to render them inoperable and useless. clearly there will always be new and emerging viruses with their own unique code signatures. so once again, the anti - virus software vendor works constantly to assess and assimilate new signature - based detection data as it becomes available, often in real time so that updates can be pushed out to users immediately and zero - day vulnerabilities can be avoided. next - generation signature - based detection new variants of computer virus are of course developed every day and security companies now work to also protect users from malware that attempts to disguise itself from traditional signature - based detection. virus authors have tried to avoid their malicious code being detected by writing “ oligomorphic “, “ polymorphic ” and more recently “ metamorphic ” viruses with signatures that are either disguised or changed from those that might be held in a signature directory. despite these developments, the internet at large does of course still function on a daily basis. populated as it is by users who not only have up to date security software installed, but also by those who have educated themselves as to the type of risks discussed here.

by jason kohn, contributing columnist like many of us, scientific researchers tend to be creatures of habit. this includes research teams working for the national oceanic and atmospheric administration ( noaa ), the u. s. government agency charged with measuring the behavior of oceans, atmosphere, and weather. many of these climate scientists work with massive amounts of data – for example, the national weather service collecting up - to - the - minute temperature, humidity, and barometric readings from thousands of sites across the united states to help forecast weather. research teams then rely on some the largest, most powerful high - performance computing ( hpc ) systems in the world to run models, forecasts, and other research computations. given the reliance on hpc resources, noaa climate researchers have traditionally worked onsite at major supercomputing facilities, such as oak ridge national laboratory in tennessee, where access to supercomputers are just steps away. as researchers crate ever more sophisticated models of ocean and atmospheric behavior, however, the hpc requirements have become truly staggering. now, noaa is using a super - high - speed network called “ n - wave ” to connect research sites across the united states with the computing resources they need. the network has been operating for several years, and today transports enough data to fill a 10 - gbps network to full capacity, all day, every day. noaa is now upgrading this network to allow even more data traffic, with the goal of ultimately supporting 100 - gbps data rates. “ our scientists were really used to having a computer in their basement, ” says jerry janssen, manager, n - wave network, noaa, in a video about the project. “ when that computer moved a couple thousand miles away, we had to give them a lot of assurances that, one, the data would actually move at the speed they needed it to move, but also that they could rely on it to be there. the amount of data that will be generated under this model will exceed 80 - 100 terabits per day. ” the n - wave project means much more than just a massive new data pipe. it represents a fundamental shift in the way that scientists can conduct their research, allowing them to perform hugely demanding supercomputer runs of their data from dozens of remote locations. as a result, it gives noaa climate scientists much more flexibility in where and how they work. “ for the first time, noaa scientists and engineers in completely separate parts of the country, all the way to places

from dozens of remote locations. as a result, it gives noaa climate scientists much more flexibility in where and how they work. “ for the first time, noaa scientists and engineers in completely separate parts of the country, all the way to places like alaska and hawaii and puerto rico, will have the bandwidth they need, without restriction, ” says janssen. “ noaa will now be able to do things it never thought it could do before. ” in addition to providing fast, stable access to hpc resources, n - wave is also allowing noaa climate scientists to share resources much more easily with scientists in the u. s. department of energy and other government agencies. ideally, this level of collaboration and access to supercomputing resources will help climate scientists continue to develop more effective climate models, improve weather forecasts, and allow us to better understand our climate. powering vital climate research the high - speed nationwide hpc connectivity capability provided by n - wave is now enabling a broad range of noaa basic science and research activities. examples include : - basic data dissemination, allowing research teams to collect up - to - the - minute data on ocean, atmosphere, and weather from across the country, and make that data available to other research teams and agencies nationwide. - ensemble forecasting, where researchers run multiple hpc simulations using different initial conditions and modeling techniques, in order to refine their atmospheric forecasts and minimize errors. - severe weather modeling, where scientists draw on hpc simulations, real - time atmospheric data, and archived storm data to better understand and predict the behavior of storms. - advancing understanding of the environment to be able to better predict short - term and long - term environmental changes, mitigate threats, and provide the most accurate data to inform policy decisions. all of this work is important, and will help advance our understanding of earth ’ s climate. and it is all a testament to the amazing networking technologies and infrastructure that scientists now have at their disposal, which puts the most powerful supercomputing resources in the world at their fingertips – even when they are thousands of miles away.

the bacterium micavibrio aeruginosavorus ( yellow ), leeching on a pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium ( purple ). what ’ s the news : if bacteria had blood, the predatory microbe micavibrio aeruginosavorus would essentially be a vampire : it subsists by hunting down other bugs, attaching to them, and sucking their life out. for the first time, researchers have sequenced the genome of this strange microorganism, which was first identified decades ago in sewage water. the sequence will help better understand the unique bacterium, which has potential to be used as a “ living antibiotic ” due to its ability to attack drug - resistant biofilms and its apparent fondness for dining on pathogens. anatomy of a vampire : - the bacterium has an interesting multi - stage life history. during its migratory phase it sprouts a single flagellum and goes hunting for prey. once it find a delectable morsel of bacterium, it attacks and irreversibly attaches to the surface, and sucks out all of the good stuff : carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins, dna, etc. - sated, the cell divides in two via binary fission, and the now - depleted host is left for dead. hungry for pathogens : - m. aeruginosavorus cannot be grown by itself ; it must be cultured along with another bacteria to feed upon. a 2006 study found that it only grew upon three bacterial species, all of which can cause pneumonia - like disease in humans. a more recent study showed that it can prey upon a wider variety of microbes, most of them potentially pathogenic, like e. coli. - these studies also found that m. aeruginosavorus has a knack for disrupting biofilms, the dense collection of bacteria that cause harmful plaques on teeth and medical implants alike, and can be up to 1, 000 more resistant to antibiotics than free - swimming bugs. - the bacteria can also swim through viscous fluids like mucous and kills pseudomonas aeruginosa, the bacterium that can colonize lungs of cystic fibrosis patients and form a glue - like film. - these qualities have caught the eye of researchers who think it could be used as a living antibiotic to treat biofilms and various types of drug - resistant bacteria, which are a growing problem in medicine. sequencing the organism ’ s genome is an important step

qualities have caught the eye of researchers who think it could be used as a living antibiotic to treat biofilms and various types of drug - resistant bacteria, which are a growing problem in medicine. sequencing the organism ’ s genome is an important step in understanding its biochemistry and how it preys on other microbes. clues from the vampire code : - the new study found that each phase of life involves the use ( or expression ) of different sets of genes. the migratory / hunting phase involves many segments that code for flagellum formation and genes involved in quorum sensing. the attachment phase involves a wide variety of secreted chemicals and enzymes that facilitate the flow of materials from the host. - micavibrio aeruginosavorus possesses no genes for amino acid transporters, a rather rare trait only seen in a few other bacterial species that depend heavily upon their host to help them shuttle these vital protein building - blocks. this absence helps explain the bacterium ’ s dependence on a narrow range of prey, from which it directly steals amino acids. although it remains unclear exactly how the microbe attaches to and infiltrates other cells. the future holds : - the range of microbes upon which micavibrio aeruginosavorus can survive is expanding ; after being kept in laboratory conditions for years it has apparently evolved a more diverse diet. if this expansion continues, that could be a real problem for its use as an antibiotic ; it could begin to eat beneficial gut bacteria, for example. - researchers claim it is harmless to friendly gut microbes, but it hasn ’ t been tested on all the varieties of bacteria present in humans. - several important steps must be taken before testing in people, like learning more about what traits makes another bacteria tasty to micavibrio aeruginosavorus. researchers speculate the bacterium may need to be genetically altered in order to go after specific pathogens, or to reduce the risk of it causing unforeseen complications. reference : zhang wang, daniel e kadouri, martin wu. genomic insights into an obligate epibiotic bacterial predator : micavibrio aeruginosavorus arl - 13. bmc genomics, 2011 ; 12 ( 1 ) : 453 doi : 10. 1186 / 1471 - 2164 - 12 - 453 image credit : university of virginia

- november 15th, 2008 - derek robertson - comments : 7 comments » tags : consolarium, endless ocean, games based learning, wii endless ocean for the nintendo wii was one of those games that immediately caught my eye. a wonderful world in which the player can become immersed in a rich, vibrant and somewhat hypnotically therapeutic underwater world. i ’ ve written about how i thought it might be used to drive learning before but my initial ideas have been put into place and extended beyond recognition by some really creative teachers. last week i went with margaret cassidy from stirling council to cowie ps to see a teacher that was using endless ocean with her class : mrs bullivant and her class of p. 6 children treated me to an afternoon of sheer joy. i walked in to a class that had been turned into an underwater world that was awash with a tide of enthusiastic and industrious learnning. - streamers of various shades of blue were hung from two lines that criss - crossed the class. from these lines also hung starfish, sharks and other underwater creatures that the children had made. - the wii was hooked up to the whiteboard and the gameplay was integral to the learning. - the children were divided into ‘ dive teams ’ and their ‘ dive leader ’ had to manage certain aspects of how the children worked together. - children were engaged with a teacher led leson that investigated buoyancy. - children were searching the web to find out more about some of the creatures that they discovered in the game. - a spreadsheet activity detailing the range of creatures that they had discovered was in place. - a shipwreck ( created by the janitor ) was sitting in the class. this helped drive much of the creative writing work. - the children created treasure maps and were using these to look at grid references. - mermaids were created in art and design and very lifelike they were too! - reference books were in great demand when i was in the class and the initial stimulus of the game appeared to drive a real interest for what could be found in the complementary resource that was the book. - children actively encouraged to measure exactly how long 7 metres is as a result of finding out that that was how long a great white shark was. this was just a wonderful visit and an example of what learning in class can be. yes we need creative teachers to lead this but isn ’ t that what we are meant to be. the work that was in evidence in this class was delightful to witness and further cemented my ideas of

correctly identifying what is causing a problem is the most important step in pest control. we do our best here to help you do that. sometimes we can identify the cause accurately enough from your phone or e - mail description of what is happening and what you see. sometimes we can do this from photographs you submit, either electronically or printed on paper. but sometimes word descriptions and photographs aren ' t quite good enough, and we ask you to submit a specimen of an arthropod you have found, or the damage it has caused. the information we give you is only as good as the information you give to us. i can ' t identify specimens that look like the one in the photograph above. here are some hints that will help all of us : 1. make sure any photographs are clear and take several, from very close up to farther away. make sure you have sufficient light, or that you compensate with your camera to make sure we can clearly see what you are trying to show us. learn how to use the close up mode on your digital camera. 2. you have 20, 000 of something flying around? please give us at least - oh maybe - six of them. if it ' s something unusual, we need at least one full, intact set of key characteristics. if there are big individuals and little ones, try to submit a few of each size. maybe they ' re different, maybe they ' re not, but we won ' t know for sure unless we see them. 3. label your material. where and when was it found? what does it seem to be doing? 4. you had 20, 000 last week, but you can ' t find even one now? maybe you don ' t have the problem anymore. keep an eye on the situation and try not to worry. 5. that doesn ' t go for termites. if you think you had a termite swarm, worry! keep a close eye on it, try to find a least one, even if it ' s only a wing, and submit it for identification. 6. you can kill most small pests by putting them in the freezer or by dropping them into alcohol. any sort of alcohol will do. the alcohol not only kills them, it also preserves them. never submit arthropod specimens in water ( unless they are living aquatic animals ). moths and butterflies are easier to identify if they are not preserved in alcohol, so just freeze them and bring them in dry. we can also take live specimens. 7. some insects

efforts to incorporate bowmanstown as a borough occurred as early as 1892. the village contained about 300 inhabitants in 1896 but the nearby new jersey zinc company soon added to its growth. bowmanstown was incorporated as a borough on november 29, 1913 for the purpose of providing general local government services to residents of the community. upon incorporation of bowmanstown as a borough its boundaries encompassed lands measuring 0. 75 square mile. the borough ' s assessed valuation in 1918 was $ 279, 000. 00. the population of 834 in 1920 remained relatively constant for decades. the bowmanstown borough municipal building ( borough hall ) is a converted school building that was constructed in 1903 to serve the youths of the community. in 1958, the palmerton school district was established and combined several local schools in order to create a regional school thus making the bowmanstown campus obsolete. in 1964, the borough acquired the old brick school building and has been using it as offices ever since. the borough kept the building in its original condition. the bowmanstown borough authority was incorporated august 24, 1997 and was created for the purpose of owning and operating the bowmanstown public water system. on february 11, 2002 the authority began construction of its water system improvement project which included a new chlorine building, looping numerous water mains, installing new services, erection of a new 250, 000 gallon standpipe and a new liner to the one reservoir. in 2009, the authority replaced their two roofs at the reservoirs with metal roofs. ongoing water projects will continue to transpire throughout the years.

angola is a giant jigsaw puzzle of different climates, landscapes, cultures and colors. from mountains to vast open plains, wide white beaches to thick tropical rainforest, angola has it all, as if each of its eighteen provinces were a different country. lubango has a mild temperate climate, luanda is hot and dry, while cabinda is steamy and tropical. much of the landscape is dramatic, with plunging waterfalls, bizarre rock formations and deep gorges. with an atlantic coastline stretching for over 1. 650 kms, angola has mighty rivers flowing into wide estuaries depositing sediments from the high plateaus to form numerous small islands, bays and sandbanks. in angola, you can encounter a diversity of wild animals : lions, hyenas, elephants and antelopes. apes, hippopotamuses and crocodiles are also indigenous to this country. in the namib desert, which is situated in the south - west, you can find the tumboa, a unique plant with two wide leaves that are several metres long and lie on the ground of the desert. although the climate is such that the beaches can be visited all year round, it is in fact during the hot season that they are most frequented. the bars all filled and the local music and dancing provide an animated and exotic atmosphere that mixes well with the mystery of the african nights.

according to buddhist tradition, the disciple devadatta was the buddha ' s cousin and also brother to the buddha ' s wife, yasodhara. devadatta is said to have caused a split in the sangha by persuading 500 monks to leave the buddha and follow him instead. this story of devadatta is preserved in the pali tipitika. in this story, devadatta entered the order of buddhist monks at the same time as ananda and other noble youths of the shakya clan, the clan of the historical buddha. devadatta applied himself to practice. but he became frustrated when he failed to progress toward becoming an arhat. so, instead, he applied his practice toward developing supernatural power instead of the realization of enlightenment. it was said he also became driven by jealousy of his kinsman, the buddha. devadatta believed he should be the world - honored one and the leader of the order of monks. one day he approached the buddha and pointed out that the buddha was growing older. he proposed that he be put in charge of the order to relieve the buddha of the burden. the buddha rebuked devadatta harshly and said he was not worthy. thus devadatta became the buddha ' s enemy. later, the buddha was questioned how his harsh response to devadatta was justified as right speech. i ' ll come back to this a bit later. devadatta had gained the favor of prince ajatasattu of magadha. ajatasattu ' s father, king bimbisara, was a devoted patron of the buddha. devadatta persuaded the prince to murder his father and assume the throne of magadha. at the same time, devadatta vowed to have the buddha murdered so he could take over the sangha. so that the deed could not be traced back to devadatta, the plan was to send a second group of " hit men " to assassinate the first one, and then a third group to take out the second one, and so on for some time. but when the would - be assassins approached the buddha they couldn ' t carry out the order. then devadatta tried to do the job himself, by dropping a rock on the buddha. the rock bounced off the mountain side and broke into pieces. the next attempt involved a large bull elephant in a drug - induced fury, but the elephant was gentled in the buddha ' s presence. finally devadatta attempted to split the sangha by claiming superior moral rec

mountain side and broke into pieces. the next attempt involved a large bull elephant in a drug - induced fury, but the elephant was gentled in the buddha ' s presence. finally devadatta attempted to split the sangha by claiming superior moral rectitude. he proposed a list of austerities and asked that they become mandatory for all monks and nuns. these were : - monks must live all their lives in the forest. - monks must live only on alms obtained by begging, and should not accept invitations to dine with others. - monks must wear robes made only from rags collected from rubbish heaps and cremation grounds. they must not accept donations of cloth at any time. ( see kathina. ) - monks must sleep at the foot of trees and not under a roof. - monks must refrain from eating fish or meat throughout their lives. the buddha responded as devadatta had predicted he would. he said that monks could follow the first four austerities if they wished, but he refused to make them mandatory. and he rejected the fifth austerity entirely. ( see buddhism and vegetarianism. ) devadatta persuaded 500 monks that his super austerity plan was a surer path to enlightenment than the buddha ' s, and they followed devadatta to become his disciples. in response, the buddha sent two of his disciples, sariputra and mahamaudgayalyana, to teach the dharma to the wayward monks. upon hearing the dharma explained correctly, the 500 monks returned to the buddha. devadatta was now a sorry and broken man, and he soon fell mortally ill. on his deathbed he repented of his misdeeds and wished to see the buddha one more time, but devadatta died before his liter - bearers could reach him. life of devadatta, alternate version the lives of the buddha and his disciples were preserved in several oral recitation traditions before they were written down. the pali tradition, which is the foundation of theravada buddhism, is the best known. another oral tradition was preserved by the mahasanghika sect, which was formed about 320 bce. mahasanghika is an important forerunner of mahayana. mahasanghika remembered devadatta as a devout and saintly monk. no trace of the " evil devadatta " story can be found in their version of the canon. this has led some scholars to speculate that the story of the renegade devadatta is a later invention.

public papers - 1991 white house fact sheet on the strategic arms reduction treaty ( start ) today, the united states and the soviet union signed the strategic arms reduction treaty. this treaty marks the first agreement between the two countries in which the number of deployed strategic nuclear weapons will actually be reduced. reductions will take place over a period of 7 years, and will result in parity between the strategic nuclear forces of the two sides at levels approximately 30 percent below currently deployed forces. deeper cuts are required in the most dangerous and destabilizing systems. start provisions are designed to strengthen strategic stability at lower levels and to encourage the restructuring of strategic forces in ways that make them more stable and less threatening. the treaty includes a wide variety of very demanding verification measures designed to ensure compliance and build confidence. the treaty sets equal ceilings on the number of strategic nuclear forces that can be deployed by either side. in addition, the treaty establishes an equal ceiling on ballistic missile throw - weight ( a measure of overall capability for ballistic missiles ). each side is limited to no more than : - - 1600 strategic nuclear delivery vehicles ( deployed intercontinental ballistic missiles [ icbm ' s ], submarine launched ballistic missiles [ slbm ' s ], and heavy bombers ), a limit that is 36 percent below the soviet level declared in september 1990 and 29 percent below the u. s. level. - - 6000 total accountable warheads, about 41 percent below the current soviet level and 43 percent below the current u. s. level. - - 4900 accountable warheads deployed on icbm ' s or slbm ' s, about 48 percent below the current soviet level and 40 percent below the current u. s. level. - - 1540 accountable warheads deployed on 154 heavy icbm ' s, a 50 - percent reduction in current soviet forces. the u. s. has no heavy icbm ' s. - - 1100 accountable warheads deployed on mobile icbm ' s. - - aggregate throw - weight of deployed icbm ' s and slbm ' s equal to about 54 percent of the current soviet aggregate throw - weight. ballistic missile warhead accountability the treaty uses detailed counting rules to ensure the accurate accounting of the number of warheads attributed to each type of ballistic missile. - - each deployed ballistic missile warhead counts as 1 under the 4900 ceiling and 1 under the 6000 overall warhead ceiling. - - each side is allowed 10 on - site inspections each year to verify that deployed ballistic missiles contain no more warheads than the number that is attributed to them under the

1 under the 4900 ceiling and 1 under the 6000 overall warhead ceiling. - - each side is allowed 10 on - site inspections each year to verify that deployed ballistic missiles contain no more warheads than the number that is attributed to them under the treaty. downloading ballistic missile warheads the treaty also allows for a reduction in the number of warheads on certain ballistic missiles, which will help the sides transition their existing forces to the new regime. such downloading is permitted in a carefully structured and limited fashion. - - the u. s. may download its three - warhead minuteman iii icbm by either one or two warheads. the soviet union has already downloaded it ' s seven warhead ss - n - 18 slbm by four warheads. - - in addition, each side may download up to 500 warheads on two other existing types of ballistic missiles, as long as the total number of warheads removed from downloaded missiles does not exceed 1250 at any one time. the treaty places constraints on the characteristics of new types of ballistic missiles to ensure the accuracy of counting rules and prevent undercounting of missile warheads. - - the number of warheads attributed to a new type of ballistic missile must be no less than the number determined by dividing 40 percent of the missile ' s total throw - weight by the weight of the lightest rv tested on that missile. - - the throw - weight attributed to a new type must be no less than the missile ' s throw - weight capability at specified reference ranges ( 11, 000 km for icbm ' s and 9, 500 km for slbm ' s ). start places significant restrictions on the soviet ss - 18 heavy icbm. - - a 50 - percent reduction in the number of soviet ss - 18 icbm ' s ; a total reduction of 154 of these soviet missiles. - - new types of heavy icbm ' s are banned. - - downloading of heavy icbm ' s is banned. - - heavy slbm ' s and heavy mobile icbm ' s are banned. - - heavy icbm ' s will be reduced on a more stringent schedule than other strategic arms. because mobile missiles are more difficult to verify than other types of ballistic missiles, start incorporates a number of special restrictions and notifications with regard to these missiles. these measures will significantly improve our confidence that start will be effectively verifiable. - - nondeployed mobile missiles and non - deployed mobile launchers are numerically and geographically limited so as to limit

common core catholic identity initiative a national working group has begun the common core catholic identity initiative ( cccii ) to develop and disseminate resources and guidelines to assist catholic elementary and secondary schools in integrating elements of catholic identity ( catholic values, scripture, church social teachings, encyclicals, etc. ) into curriculum and instruction based on the common core state standards. the initial phase of cccii focuses on k - 8 english / language arts / literacy. resources for other subjects and for 9 - 12 curriculum will be developed in later phases. forty - six states have agreed to adopt the common core state standards, a set of high quality k - 12 learning standards that includes rigorous content and application of knowledge using higher - order thinking skills, leading students to college and career readiness. currently, catholic schools are assessing what the implications of the standards and accompanying assessments may be for them. while catholic schools have their own local or diocesan standards, their ability to continue to provide high - quality education for their students is compelling them to consider adoption of the common core standards. catholic schools will be impacted as curriculum resources and professional development opportunities become aligned with common core state standards by producers of instructional materials, college teacher preparation programs, or regulations for participation in the federal programs that currently benefit their students and teachers. within this environment, maintaining the uniqueness and integrity of the catholic school will require integrating the demands of their mission and the academic expectations of their constituents and the wider education community. to assist catholic schools with enhancing catholic identity integrated into the curriculum, the common core catholic identity initiative ( cccii ) has been launched as a collaborative project involving catholic universities, corporations and sponsors invested in catholic education, and the national catholic educational association ( ncea ). the common core catholic identity initiative has two goals : - to empower catholic schools and dioceses to design and direct the implementation of the common core standards within the culture and context of a catholic school curriculum - to infuse the common core standards with the faith / principles / values / social justice themes inherent in the mission and catholic identity of the school. the cccii project aims to accomplish its goals by creating a process and a product : phase 1 : gather approximately 35 practitioners and curriculum and catechetics experts to pilot a cccii ela unit development process to be shared with the larger catholic educational community. ( june 2012 ) phase 2 : revise and refine the unit development process so that it can be replicated in dioceses around the country. phase 3 : invite participation in development of additional ccci

going to be learning about all of these of these things and even more about alaska in the upcoming unit. 4. have each student write down one or two things about alaska they would like to know more about. suggest ideas such as : what sports do they play in alaska? how many people live there? is it really cold and snowy year round? take these ideas into consideration when planning the rest of the unit. 1. put in the dvd alaska : sprit of the wild. students will watch the movie. it is forty minutes long. before they watch it, share with them the beauty that can be found in alaska. tell them to look specifically for how they can see god in the things that are shown on the film. 2. after the movie, discuss with the students what they thought of the movie. ask them questions such as what surprised you about this film? what did you learn about alaska that you didnit know before? what can we discover about god by watching this movie? how can we get to know god better by studying alaska? 3. read psalm 19 : 1 aloud. read it again, this time have the students say it after you. ask them how this verse relates to alaska. hopefully they will make the connection that creation shouts godis praise. alaska is so beautiful ; this reflects on godis majesty, creativity and mercy. god loves us enough to give us beautiful creation simply so we can enjoy it. we can see his fingerprints in alaska. 4. read psalm 8 aloud. again, ask them how this verse relates to alaska. they will probably have similar responses as above in step three. share a personal experience of how he / she has seen godis power and majesty in his creation. - for example, this is my own experience ; you could share something similar to it : one time i climbed the highpoint of colorado with my dad. we started hiking before the sun was up. as we were walking along the ridge of the mountain, the sun began to rise ; the colors were brilliant! we kept on hiking and hiking. i was getting tired and hungry but soon we came close to the top. as i climbed up the last little peak and the top of the mountain, i looked out and the view was breathtaking!!! i had never seen so many snow capped mountains before. sitting up there on the mountaintop, i felt such a joy and peace. what a great god i serve! he created all of this ; his creation alone is enough to tell of his majesty. 5. ask

so many snow capped mountains before. sitting up there on the mountaintop, i felt such a joy and peace. what a great god i serve! he created all of this ; his creation alone is enough to tell of his majesty. 5. ask the students if any of them have had an experience like this ; encourage them to share if they would like. 6. encourage them to find other verses that could relate to our study of alaska and bring them to class tomorrow to share. 1. introduce the iditarod race the studentis will be learning about by reading the book iditarod dream by ted wood. as you are reading, stop periodically through out the book and ask them to jot down a few of their thoughts. at the end of the book ask them to share a few thoughts they wrote down about the book. 2. introduce the game the students will be playing throughout the unit. tell the students they will be having their own iditarod race in the classroom. each student will make a map of alaska on construction paper. on this map, they will draw the trail of the iditarod race. they will have to map out the different checkpoints of the race on their trails. it is their job to find out how many miles are between each checkpoint and how many miles they can travel in one day. 3. each day the students will move their markers on their maps how ever many miles we decide as a class they can travel in one day. every morning the students will receive a draceris fatee card. these cards will say various things such as, dyour dog has broken a leg, move back twenty milese, or d you have found an extra bundle of food on the trail, move ahead twelve milese. the students will have to keep track of where they are on the trail on their own maps and on a large map on the classroom bulletin board. 4. each afternoon, students will have an opportunity to receive another card if they got their homework done on time that day. this card could be good or bad, but the students get to decide if they want to take it. 5. this activity will be incorporated into language arts. the students will be keeping a race journal. as they play this game they can write their feelings about the race in the journal as if they were an actual racer. 6. this game will also be incorporated into math. students will need to do calculations to play the game correctly. they will also discover how to find median, mean and using the game

young kids may be able to unbuckle car seats survey of parents finds some kids may be unbuckling while car is in motion may 2, 2011 - - children as young as 1 year old can unbuckle themselves from car safety seats, a new survey of parents finds. " we found that children can unbuckle from their child car safety seats by their fourth birthday, and there is an alarming 43 % who do so when the car is in motion, " says researcher lilia reyes, md, a clinical fellow in pediatric emergency medicine at the yale school of medicine in new haven. " it was reported as early as 12 months. " the findings are being presented at the pediatric academic societies annual meeting in denver. child car seats : how secure? while working in the pediatric emergency room at yale, reyes encountered two different mothers who had minor car accidents. they told her it happened when they turned their heads around after discovering their kids had unbuckled themselves. trying to determine how frequently it happened, she and her colleagues from yale surveyed 378 parents of young children. among the other findings : - 51 % or about 191 families reported that at least one of their children had unbuckled their car seats. of these, 75 % were age 3 or younger. the youngest was 12 months old. - boys unbuckled more than girls ; 59 % of the kids who unbuckled were boys. parents were not asked if they were sure they had buckled correctly, reyes tells webmd. so there is a possibility the children weren ' t buckled in correctly. but parents do typically hear a click, like a seat safety belt, when the buckle latches, she says. the problem, she says, is that while children may be able to physically unbuckle the seat, they are just beginning, at around age 3, to develop reasoning skills to appreciate the consequences of unbuckling. parents used seats of various types. they included the five - point harness, convertible seats, and booster seats, depending on their child ' s age and weight. are car seats really buckled? ' ' this study raises questions about how the child restraint was used, " says lorrie walker, training manager and technical advisor for safe kids usa, an advocacy group. " federal motor vehicle safety standard 213 requires the buckle to release using between 9 and 14 pounds of pressure, " she says. " it is often challenging for an adult to unbuckle the harness. " she wonders if the buckle was not adequately locked in some cases. " a

tornadoes are the most intense storms on the planet, and they ’ re never discussed without at least some mention of the term wind shear. many of us sitting at home, though, have no idea what wind shear is, or if we do, how it affects tornado production. what is wind shear wind shear, although it might sound complex, is a simple concept. wind shear is merely the change in wind with height, in terms of wind direction and speed. i think that we all understand that the wind is generally stronger in the atmosphere over our heads than it is here on the ground, and if we think of the atmosphere in terms of the three dimensions that it has, it should not be surprising that the wind above us might also be blowing from a different direction than the wind at the ground. when that happens – the wind speed and direction vary with height – wind shear is occurring. wind shear and supercell thunderstorms this wind shear is an important part of the process in the development of a supercell thunderstorm, from which the vast majority of strong tornadoes form. all thunderstorms are produced by a powerful updraft – a surge of air that rises from the ground into the upper levels of the atmosphere, and when this updraft forms in an area where wind shear is present, the updraft is influence by this speed and different direction of the wind above, pushing the column of air in the updraft into a more vertical alignment. rain ’ s influence on tornado production needless to say, thunderstorms typically produce very heavy rain, and rain - cooled air is much heavier than the warm air of the updraft, so the rain - cooled air, produces a compensating downdraft ( what comes up, must come down ). this downdraft pushes the part of the rotating air that was forced in its direction by the stronger wind aloft downward, and the result is a horizontal column of rotating air. that ’ s not a tornado! i know what you ’ re thinking that you ’ ve seen enough tlc or discovery channel shows to know that a horizontal column of air is not a tornado ; you need a vertical column of air. this can be a tornado you ’ re right, but remember the updraft that is driving the thunderstorm is still working, and it ’ s able to pull the horizontal, spinning column of air into the thunderstorm, resulting in a vertical column of spinning air.

reversal of fortune to unlock the vast, untapped potential of the world ’ s drylands, we must learn from the people who live in them, says dr jonathan davies. drylands are a major global biome, home to a great diversity of species and some of our most treasured natural heritage. they are also home to over 2 billion people and in the developing world in particular they are associated with poverty and social inequity. global development and environment goals are not being met in the drylands : by 2015 many dryland regions are set to fail to achieve the millennium development goals, whilst progress towards the goals and objectives of the un environmental conventions ( the convention to combat desertification and the convention on biological diversity in particular ) is generally poor. recent experiences in the drylands of emerging countries, such as china and india, illustrate that economic development in drylands can outpace that in areas that are usually considered “ high potential ”. although development is often associated with degradation, experiences in sub saharan africa illustrate that economic development can be greatly enhanced through protection of biodiversity as a source of income. by taking an even broader, global view of drylands and examining industrialised dryland countries, it becomes clear that for every seemingly - insurmountable challenge we are able to find evidence of a viable solution somewhere in the world. to address the challenges of the drylands, we need to understand their unique features and how these have to be managed. perhaps the most important of these is climate unpredictability : the amount of precipitation varies enormously between areas, between seasons and between years. the sheer magnitude of this uncertainty is hard to grasp, but in many drylands the normal range of rainfall, drought - years aside, can be plus or minus 50 % of the average. yet development in many water - deficit areas continues to favour agricultural practices that expose farmers to huge risks whilst simultaneously degrading the natural resource base on which they depend. climate change is a cause for concern in dryland areas, but also an opportunity for new approaches and new learning that illustrate the value of dryland areas. dryland ecosystems and people are highly adaptable and can survive in their uncertain climate.. whether drylands become wetter or drier as a result of climate change, they will almost invariably become more unpredictable and their adaptive capacity will be vital to their future. drylands more than any other ecosystem have the capacity to deal with that unpredictability and we have a great deal to learn from them. contrary to popular perception, drylands

become more unpredictable and their adaptive capacity will be vital to their future. drylands more than any other ecosystem have the capacity to deal with that unpredictability and we have a great deal to learn from them. contrary to popular perception, drylands are not necessarily poverty traps. dryland ecosystems and their goods and services already contribute significantly to national and international economies. the vibrant tourism sector in eastern and southern africa relies heavily on the biodiversity of drylands. globally - important dryland commodities include grain, meat and milk and dryland goods like gum arabic, henna, aloe, and frankincense. recent years have seen the commercial development of natural medicines from drylands, and untold numbers of medicinal plants remain un - researched, known only to the dryland inhabitants who have used and conserved them for centuries. local knowledge of the drylands is rich and is a powerful resource to be harnessed. there has been a tendency to dismiss this knowledge, because local dryland practices have been portrayed as backward or inappropriate and in need of replacing. the current emergency in the horn of africa graphically illustrates the outcome of this attitude : populations are exposed to insupportable risk as a result of losing their traditional strategies and being pushed into new ways of life that simply don ’ t work. where people are driven towards catastrophe it is almost guaranteed that the environment will face similar consequences. customs and cultures that are intimately connected to biodiversity become contorted into a system of pure survival where respect for the environment becomes an unaffordable luxury. the scientific explanation of the rationale behind traditional strategies has been known for long enough to develop innovative new approaches to sustainable drylands management. development support has to enable management of the extreme climatic uncertainty of drylands and needs to be built on understanding of the drivers of continuous change in dryland ecosystems. these are dynamic ecosystems in which adaptation and flexibility are pre - requisites for survival. we need to learn from past failures and successes and ensure that development and humanitarian interventions recognize dryland characteristics and build on local knowledge and capacity to turn the existing opportunities into equitable and sustainable wealth creation. in particular we need to generate greater awareness of the tremendous opportunities for strengthening biodiversity - based livelihoods to diversify dryland economies and strengthen resilience. iucn ’ s vision 2020 emphasizes the need to strengthen the union ’ s work on conserving the diversity of life while also connecting nature conservation to wider societal objectives such as security and poverty reduction. this vision cannot be reached if we fail to understand and address the unique challenges

| retinal pigment epithelium ( rpe ) detachment signs and symptoms in most instances, serous detachment of the rpe occurs asymptomatically. only in those cases in which the macula is affected will patients report blurred vision, metamorphopsia, micropsia, or positive scotomas. other associated clinical findings may include induced hyperopia and delayed retinal recovery time on the photostress test. most individuals with rpe detachment are male, between the ages of 20 and 60 years. the history often reveals predisposing or concurrent ocular conditions such as macular degeneration, idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy ( icsc ), angioid streaks, presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome ( pohs ), or hereditary choroidal degeneration. in other cases, the condition occurs idiopathically. rpe detachment appears ophthalmoscopically as single or multiple, well - circumscribed round or oval lesions within the posterior fundus. the lesions are typically dome - shaped with slight elevation and appear yellow to orange in color. a reddish " halo " is often seen around the base of the detachment, and overlying pigment defects such as clumping or mottling are commonplace. lesions may vary in size from one - fifth to over 5 disc diameters ( dd ), but most are less than 1 dd. fluorescein and indocyanine green ( icg ) angiography show early hyperfluorescence of the entire rpe detachment, which persists throughout the angiogram demonstrating late pooling. leakage into the sensory retina occurs only in cases of concurrent serous retinal detachment. rpe detachment is a non - specific anatomical alteration that may result from any number of choroidal disorders that disrupt the normal junction between the basement membrane of the rpe and the inner collagenous layer of bruchs membrane. this disruption permits serous fluid from the underlying choriocapillaris to gain access into the sub - rpe space. age - related macular degeneration, choroidal neovascular membranes, high myopia, angioid streaks, hereditary choroidal degeneration, pohs, and tumors of the choroid have all been identified as precipitating conditions in the development of rpe detachment. idiopathic cases are sometimes associated with icsc ; some believe these two conditions to represent

##al degeneration, pohs, and tumors of the choroid have all been identified as precipitating conditions in the development of rpe detachment. idiopathic cases are sometimes associated with icsc ; some believe these two conditions to represent a continuum of a similar underlying pathology. uncomplicated idiopathic serous detachments of the rpe often resolve spontaneously, however, those associated with more generalized damage to the choriocapillaris may be complicated by hemorrhage, choroidal neovascular membrane formation, and disciform scarring. most patients under the age of 55 who present with small serous rpe detachments without evidence of other retinal or choroidal disease enjoy an excellent prognosis without intervention. this is particularly true if the lesion is outside of the fovea and there is no associated subretinal fluid. older patients who manifest rpe detachment without angiographic evidence of a choroidal neovascular membrane have a 25 - 30 percent chance of developing such membranes during their lifetime, and therefore warrant careful observation as well as weekly home monitoring with an amsler grid. those patients over the age of 55 who present with associated choroidal neovascular membranes and / or hemorrhagic rpe detachments have an exceedingly poor visual prognosis. focal laser photocoagulation is indicated for these patients. approximately 90 percent of cases of rpe detachment have or will manifest concurrent serous retinal detachment over the natural history of the disorder. in cases of idiopathic rpe detachment, a striking similarity with icsc is seen in the predisposed patient population ; i. e. male, average age of 44 years, and a moderate to severe emotional stress level. the presentation of rpe detachment is quite characteristic. nonetheless, one must be sure to rule out other conditions that may appear similar from an ophthalmoscopic perspective. these include : icsc, malignant melanoma, metastatic carcinoma, choroidal hemangioma, and bests disease ( vitelliform dystrophy ). history and angiography are the most helpful factors in making this rpe detachment in patients over 55 years of age should be considered secondary to choroidal neovascular membrane, rather than idiopathic, until proven otherwise. prompt fluorescein angiography is mandatory in these cases. other reports in this section
