2022年卡塔尔世界杯预选赛已经进入最后冲刺阶段。
当地时间3月29日，世预赛亚洲区、欧洲区、南美区和非洲区将同时进行最后一轮比赛。
届时，除了两个大陆名额和一个欧洲附加赛名额因延误无法确定外，世界杯29个参赛席位将全部确定。
截至北京时间3月26日，本届世界杯32个参赛席位中的19个已经落户。
除了德国、丹麦、法国、比利时、克罗地亚、西班牙、塞尔维亚、英国、瑞士、荷兰等10支国家队已经获得欧洲资格外，卡塔尔（东道主）、伊朗、韩国、日本5支球队，和沙特阿拉伯队在亚洲已经确认有资格参加世界杯。
在南美洲，巴西、阿根廷、乌拉圭和厄瓜多尔赢得了四个席位。
3月29日，非洲、亚洲和南美的世界杯预选赛进入决赛。
届时，非洲将有5个出线名额；亚洲赛区将决定小组的最终排名；南美赛区将决定洲际附加赛的第五名。
由于乌克兰推迟参加欧洲赛区的附加赛，原定于3月29日进行的附加赛的三个名额只能产生两个。
在这两场关键的比赛中，淘汰意大利的北马其顿将迎战C罗领衔的葡萄牙。欧洲黑马能否再次爆冷送葡萄牙回家，备受关注。
在俄罗斯队被国际足联开除后，波兰队自动获胜，将面对在最后一轮击败捷克队的瑞典队获得一个欧洲席位。
在六月以 2-1 击败奥地利后，威尔士将面对乌克兰和苏格兰之间的胜者。
北美中部和加勒比地区，以及最后两轮预赛，最终将产生三个资格赛名额。
加拿大目前以25分领先全队卡塔尔世界杯非洲区预选赛积分，美国和墨西哥场均22分，分列二三。这三支北美球队暂时占据了直接晋级的三个名额。
哥斯达黎加目前积19分排名第四，晋级仍有希望。
根据国际足联的安排，4月1日，世界杯小组赛抽签仪式将在瑞士举行。届时卡塔尔世界杯非洲区预选赛积分，抽签将以3月31日公布的最新世界排名为准。
因此，在3月29日举行的世预赛最后一场小组赛中，即使已经晋级，包括日韩在内的所有球队都将力争取胜，从而获得国足最好的积分排名。

When fruit in your kitchen goes mouldy, you are probably in more of a hurry to throw it out before the rot spreads than you are to look at what is causing it. But if you were to examine it closely, the chances are that you would discover different kinds of mould or fungi infecting specific kinds of fruit. A set of experiments from Rothamsted Research, the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research and the University of Oxford has shown that each species of fungus is uniquely adapted to invade a particular plant or crop.
Many fungi are parasitic organisms, which means they depend on other living organisms (hosts) for the food and protection they need to grow and reproduce. They produce thousands of tiny spores that distribute the fungus by infecting new plants. These spores can recognise not only particular plant species, but also specific parts of the plant, where they can enter with least risk of triggering the plant's defence mechanisms.
Scientists have been looking at the physical cues used by the spores to sense surfaces, orientate themselves, and infect the correct plant species in the right place. Achieving this as efficiently and stealthily as possible is crucial for the fungus, as the spores can only survive a short time without the host's resources. Once in the right place, the spores sprout tubes that penetrate the plant. They then develop feeding structures so the spore can profit from the new food supply.
'Our exhibit will illustrate some of the ingenious ways that parasitic fungi locate, break and enter the host plant without triggering its alarm system,' says Professor John Lucas. 'A live video link-up lets you spy on fungi infecting plants in the laboratory. And you can pretend to be a fungus yourself and test your reaction skills to different physical stimuli.'
Some fungi use the physical surface of the plant to find the right place to infect. By watching Downy mildew (Peronospora) spores penetrate cabbage leaves, scientists now know that it is ridges and troughs of a particular size (0.9 microns) on the leaf surface that trigger infection. These ridges mark the break between two cells, which might offer less resistance to the spore's infection tubes as they push into the leaf.

Writing Clear Functional and Non-functional Requirements: Examples and Best Practices
Wondering what the requirements are to build a mobile app or website? Today, we talk about the difference between functional and non-functional requirements, give you a step-by-step guide to gathering them, and provide you with examples of each.
How requirements impact the software development process
If you want to create a project that will be successful in the long run, you should invest some time in formulating detailed requirements. Clear and well-defined requirements help development teams and clients ensure they’re working toward the same goals. Poorly formulated requirements can cause miscommunication between the team and the client.
But that’s all just words. Let’s look at some statistics:
- 68% of projects with efficient communication and well-defined requirements meet quality standards.
- 32% of IT projects fail because of unclear requirements at the planning stage.
- Poorly formulated requirements can increase the project timeline and budget up to 60%.
- Unclear requirements are responsible for 41% of the global IT development budget for software, staff, and external professional services.
The discovery phase in software development is the perfect time to create a list of both functional and non-functional requirements for your project.
Classification of requirements
Before we dive into types of requirements, let’s first define what a requirement is. A requirement states how a particular functionality or feature of a product should work. You’ll need a few types of requirements to create a good product.
- Business requirements describe a project’s high-level goals, objectives, and needs.
- Stakeholder requirements include information about what stakeholders expect from a particular solution.
- Solution requirements include product characteristics that meet the client’s expectations and business needs. They can be divided into two types:
- Functional requirements
- Non-functional requirements
Today, we’ll talk in depth about functional and non-functional requirements.
Functional and non-functional requirements help you:
- define terms and roles. Requirements help to avoid misunderstandings between the development team and stakeholders.
- reduce communication times. Good communication with a business analyst results in clearly defined requirements and a shorter development timeframe. It can help to reduce the time required for communication during the development stage as well as the project’s cost.
- more precisely estimate the project. Clear and detailed requirements lead to more accurate estimates of the development time and cost.
- spot possible mistakes beforehand. Functional and non-functional requirements can help you identify certain errors during the initial stages of development, saving you time and money.
- create more predictable projects. High-quality detailed requirements and wireframes help to predict the results and build a project that meets the client’s expectations.
What are functional requirements?
What is the difference between functional and non-functional requirements? Functional requirements describe how a system should behave when certain conditions are met. These requirements include technical details, calculations, data manipulation and processing, and other functionality that characterizes what a framework should achieve.
Functional requirements describe what the product should do. Such software requirements capture the intended behavior of the system. A functional detail should be aligned to a business need to avoid project failure. Functional requirements should include:
- details of operations executed on every screen
- descriptions of system reports and other outputs
- full information on system workflows
- a clear explanation of who will be allowed to create/modify/delete data in the system
- a description of how the system is supposed to fulfill applicable regulatory requirements and what compliance needs should be defined in the functional document.
Functional requirements cover the following:
- Business rules
- Transaction corrections, adjustments, and cancellations
- Requirements for administrative functionality
- Authorization levels
- Audit tracking
- External interfaces
- Historical data
- Legal and regulatory requirements
Examples of functional requirements
- The background color for all application windows will be #3333FF.
- Only employees at a certain level have the right to view revenue data
- The software system should be integrated with a certain API.
- When a user enters data, the system should send an approval request.
- The server should automatically back up the database every 24 hours.
- The system should allow only managers to access a user’s personal data.
- The system should shut down in the event of a hacker attack
What to consider when creating functional requirements
When coming up with a list of functional requirements, consider these categories of requirements:
- Business requirements. Define requirements that answer for the ultimate goal of the system. Here you can also mention things like approval workflows and authorization levels.
- Administrative requirements. Mention the routine things the system will do, such as reporting
- User requirements. These requirements describe what the user can do, like placing an order or browsing an online catalog.
- System requirements. Describe software and hardware specifications, system responses, and system actions.
5 benefits of functional requirements
- Serve as a guide for checking if an application provides all required functionality
- Help you determine the functionality of the system and subsystems
- Combined with requirements analysis, functional requirements can be helpful in identifying missing requirements and clearly defining the expected system behavior.
- Errors found while collecting functional requirements are easier and cheaper to fix than errors found later on
- Support goals, tasks, and user actions to simplify project management
What are non-functional requirements?
Now let’s talk about non-functional requirements. By definition, a non-functional requirement is a requirement that indicates how the system performs a particular function. A non-functional requirement describes how a system should behave and the limits of its functionality. Non-functional requirements answer for all the requirements that are left uncovered by functional requirements.
These requirements affect the user experience because they define a system’s behavior, features, and general characteristics.
When non-functional requirements are well defined and executed, they can make the system easy to use and enhance its performance. Non-functional requirements are product properties, so they mostly focus on user expectations.
Types of non-functional requirements:
- Performance (response time, throughput, utilization, static volumetric)
- Data integrity
Get an example of the Discovery Phase documentation for your digital project
Examples of non-functional requirements
- Database security should be HIPAA-compliant.
- Users should be able to reach their profile data from any page within three clicks.
- The system should require users to enter their passwords every 60 days.
- The system must accommodate a minimum of three million concurrent users.
- All web pages should be able to load within three seconds.
What to consider when creating non-functional requirements
- Usability. These requirements focus on the appearance of the user interface and how people interact with it. They should describe colors, screen size, button size, etc.
- Reliability/availability. These requirements determine system availability (if the system needs to function 24/7/365, for example).
- Scalability. This section of the non-functional requirements should determine if the system will be able to handle future needs. For physical installations, this includes the availability of spare hardware and space to install it.
- Performance. Determine how fast the system needs to operate.
- Supportability. Specify if support is provided in-house or if remote access is required to external resources.
- Security. Set the security requirements both for the physical installation and from the cybersecurity perspective.
7 steps for better requirements gathering
Step 1. Understand the need
Your first step in gathering requirements is understanding the need, and your first goal is to meet with the client and answer the following questions:
- What outcome is the client looking for?
- Can we quantify that outcome?
- How many people will be impacted by this?
- Why do you do this?
- What sorts of performance is the client looking to get out of the solution?
- What issue is this solution supposed to solve?
Step 2. Find out the constraints
The next step is to find out your limitations and constraints. To find out the main limitations, ask the following questions:
- How much time do we have?
- What is the budget for the project?
Step 3. Check if you have all the necessary information
Assuming you now know what the limits of the project are, you can move on to the third step, which is to check if you have all the necessary information. Ask yourself, Do I know what I need to know? Here’s where you clarify all the previous requirements and find out what’s missing to get a full picture of the project.
Step 4. Find out who can provide you the information you need
Stakeholders in organizations — business managers, department heads, etc. — can provide the missing pieces of information you identified in step three, probably in the form of a document, something published on the internet, or a database.
Step 5. Choose how to collect information
Techniques for gathering requirements will vary depending on what information you need to collect. Here are some examples of requirement gathering techniques:
- Focus groups
- Document reviews
- Market research
You need to come up with a technique for every requirement. For example, say you have a requirement as to the number of users for the system. To get this information, you might interview an IT manager.
Step 6. Schedule meetings
Once you’ve figured out all the techniques you want to use, you can plan when to collect the information. When you’re developing a schedule, you’ll want to plan out the timing, duration, and techniques that will minimize the number of interactions with stakeholders.
Step 7. Find out what you might need to collect information
The next step is to ask yourself, What will I need to collect this information? It might be tools or a team of people. In this step, you have to ask yourself if you can collect the information by yourself given your timeframe and budget. After this step, you can move to implementing the requirements.
How to write functional and non-functional requirements
Functional and non-functional requirements can be written in a few different ways. Today, we’ll talk about some of the more common ones.
The most common way to write functional and non-functional requirements is using a requirements specification document. It describes the functionality required in written form, specifies the purpose of the project, gives an overview of the project to provide context, and notes any limitations and assumptions. Although most requirements specification documents are descriptive, it’s recommended to include visual representations of the requirements to make it easier for non-technical stakeholders to understand the scope.
Work breakdown structure
A work breakdown structure, or WBS, is closely related to a requirements specification document. With a WBS, the entire process is broken down by decomposing requirements into the smallest possible scopes of work.
The next approach you can use to write functional and non-functional requirements is user stories. These are descriptions of functionality from the point of view of the end user and accurately describe what the user wants from the system. User stories are written using the following formula:
“As a (type of user), I want (goal) so that (reason).”
One of the benefits of user stories is that they don’t require a lot of technical knowledge to write. User stories can also be used as a predecessor to specifications requirements to help determine user needs.
Use cases are similar to user stories in the sense that no technical knowledge is required to write them. Use cases describe in detail what users do when completing a task.
For example, the use case for purchasing a product would describe each step in the buying process from the user’s point of view.
Mistakes to avoid when creating functional requirements
Here are a few common mistakes when creating functional requirements:
- Including extraneous information that can confuse developers
- Not providing sufficient detail
- Adding rules, examples, or purpose statements for anything other than the requirement itself
- Leaving out information that is absolutely necessary for a complete, accurate, and final definitive state of the requirement
- Defending the requirements when a requirement is modified instead of finding the best option
- Not mapping requirements to an objective or principle
Quick summary of functional and non-functional requirements
We hope this article has shed light on the world of functional and non-functional requirements. Here are the key takeaways:
- Functional requirements describe the particular behavior of a system when certain conditions are met
- Non-functional requirements describe how a system should behave and its functionality limits.
- Functional requirements with requirement analysis can be helpful in identifying missing requirements
- Don’t provide extraneous information that can confuse developers.
- There are a few different ways to write functional and non-functional requirements: using a specifications document, work breakdown structure, user stories, and use cases.
- For better requirements gathering, make sure you understand the project’s needs, find out its constraints, check that you have all the necessary information, find out who or what can provide you the information you’re lacking, choose how to collect this information, schedule meetings, and find out what people or tools you might need to collect the information.

Pane dolce con mele, cannella e zenzero (Pull apart bread)
Ingredienti:
190 g di farina 00
190 g di Manitoba
50 g di zucchero
60 g di burro
80 ml di latte
60 ml di acqua
2 uova
1 bustina di lievito di birra secco (oppure ½ cubetto fresco)
½ cucchiaino di sale
Per il ripieno:
3 mele
1 cucchiaino di cannella in polvere
1 cucchiaino di zenzero in polvere
60 g di burro
150 g di zucchero
Preparazione:
Fate fondere in una ciotolina il burro con il latte, poi aggiungete l'acqua. Mescolate bene e fate raffreddare.
Nella ciotola della planetaria mettete la farina manitoba, metà della farina 00, lo zucchero, il sale e lievito secco. Unite quindi il mix di burro e latte e mescolate per 1 minuto. Aggiungete le uova leggermente sbattute e incorporatele all'impasto.
Ora inserite la restante farina e iniziate a lavorare il tutto a velocità media con il gancio impastatore per almeno 10 minuti. (se non avete una planetaria potete lavorare l'impasto direttamente su un piano infarinato per circa 15-20 minuti a mano).
Quando l'impasto sarà diventato liscio e omogeneo formate una palla e lasciatela lievitare in una ciotola capiente coperta con un canovaccio per circa un'ora e mezza, finché avrà raddoppiato il suo volume.
Nel frattempo preparate il ripieno: sbucciate le mele, tagliatele a piccoli pezzi. Fate fondere il burro in una padella e aggiungetevi le mele, facendole saltare con la cannella e lo zenzero per 3-4 minuti, tenetele da parte.
Una volta lievitato l'impasto, riversatelo su un piano infarinato e stendetelo con un mattarello creando un rettangolo di circa 30x60 cm.
Versate sopra le mele con il fondo di cottura e cospargete con lo zucchero.
Tagliate la pasta in 6 strisce uguali, sovrapponetele, facendo attenzione a non rompere, e tagliate nuovamente in 6 parti formando dei rettangoli da 6 strati ciascuno.
Imburrate e infarinate leggermente lo stampo da plumcake e adagiate i blocchi di pasta mettendoli in verticale.
Coprite con un canovaccio e lasciate lievitare nuovamente per circa 30 minuti. Preriscaldate il forno a 180°. Fate cuocere il pane dolce per 30 minuti, facendo attenzione che le punte non si brucino troppo. (vi consiglio di mettere una teglia con carta forno sotto al dolce, in modo da proteggere il forno dalla fuoriuscita di caramello!)
Una volta pronto lasciatelo raffreddare 30 minuti prima di estrarlo dallo stampo.

活着的，但是……”他低头看了看脚边的那个小男孩。“但是没有反应。”““企业客队，“伊琳·梅塞尔的声音说，“我们这里有很多无意识的人。我们正朝着指挥控制中心努力，而且看起来……一片寂静，某人寻找适合于这种情况的词语的不健全。“我说过恐怖吗？我没有说一半。”“博士。你会被深深地思念。144，10-7。班末的无线电代码。
贪婪“斯纳夫点点头。“我玩弄饥饿，愤怒，贪婪。我变成了必须被抓的痒。”““怎么用？“格林特直率地问道。回答是另一个女人的背叛给了他智慧和善良和共享快乐。他不回答,从来就没想过或谎言。“是的,”他说。“意外”。“啊。出乎意料。
他疯狂地想念她。最近,他认为得到一个新的Rottie但最终决定反对它。它不会是莎莉。如果他破产了，他完全可以带着这个国家来。”“拉维恩静止了一会儿。然后他说，“我们必须去看看汉密尔顿。”他听着我们说话时保持沉默。只有一只轻敲的脚泄露了他的激动。
我几乎不能责怪他对一个像玛丽亚·雷诺兹那样可爱的生物表现出人类的脆弱，我几乎不能怪她，和她残忍的丈夫在一起，宁愿跟全国最有权势的人调情。他走的是一条危险的路线，然而。我相信华盛顿，汉密尔顿永远不会为了满足自己的愿望而牺牲国家的利益，但他很可能会毁掉自己。我会尽我所能帮助他。他已经证明他会为我做他能做的事，这似乎只是正义。他直盯着她的眼睛,什么是如此terribly-revealed那里当另一个一生的镇静完全消失。因为他这样做,几乎落入她的目光,纠缠在她和记忆,无视甚至努力的向上运动的小手把刀,他没有看到swift-striding来自身后,抓住她的手腕,检查自己的身体的姿态。他扭曲的。刀了。
他们是科特在系里最亲密的朋友。就像其他的林利部队一样，他们用黑色织物盖住了徽章。他们伸手去拿盖在库尔特棺材上的国旗，开始折叠起来。他们戴着手套的手移动得如此之快--我想起了米老鼠，超人鸭，用他们超大的白色拳头。“伊琳轻轻地说。“但是这些恒星——这些行星的初级行星——这个行星是环绕的——它们相距光年和光年！氢化物离-1千分远““对，船长，“数据称。当你消除不可能的时候，皮卡德思想在震惊中解释，那么剩下的肯定是真相，不管听起来多么疯狂。“有人在移动这个星球，“皮卡德说。第三章数据表明里克司令看起来很烦躁。起初，机器人正忙着锁定系统，储存他们在荒原收集到的信息。
葡萄干使一切都变得更好，我想。有些人喜欢李子，甚至杏子，但说到干果，我总是吃葡萄干。”“她什么也没说。“帕梅拉。”我又试了一次。“我喜欢帕米拉的名字。他的铅笔，“我说，推开所有浴室的门以确保我们独自一人。“总统的铅笔。这就是他留下的。”““可以，所以华莱士留下了一支铅笔。这可不是核法规。”
铁火炬的嗓子竖起来了。他不喜欢那座山的外观，那山是那么的庞大，鳞片状的，大量的。..不自然的他当然不喜欢他的军团向它行进。他见这从他走上轨道,看到新右跟踪马Crescens第六巷不是狭隘的团队。他知道马他们会交易。知道这很好。有槽的信息在他的脑海中回到了冬天。
我不知道你和他妻子打交道与这些其他事情有什么关系，但我不必告诉你，这个火药桶会在你脸上爆炸。”“他静止了一会儿。“你是怎么知道的？“““我跟着你。”“他的脸一下子变黑了。他的拳头像婴儿一样紧握、松开。“你跟着我？“““上校，雷诺兹在办公室外面等着。因此,他的幻觉Scortius开车直朝他当他荒谬的,前所未有的向外倾斜,没有铁路。他听到了蓝军的荣耀(他曾经是这里的荣耀,他自己)崩溃din尖叫,他地意识到附近Inici的话,只有少数人知道。Astorgus就是一个。这个男孩,塔拉斯,从Megarium,将另一个。Astorgus看到小伙子混蛋头迅速离开,马上,非常出色的反应,没有即时认为他在做什么。
““Ileen“皮卡德说，“如果我不知道更多，我想你是想把兴奋都留给自己。”““JeanLuc“答复立刻来了，“幸好你更了解我。你知道，我想要的是你们这些小伙子，还有你们的大人物，在我背后。里克打断了门格雷德愉快的评估数据。“我们想联系企业。”““对，我相信你会的，“门格雷德安慰地说。“然而，我们目前正在该地区搜寻一些巴霍兰恐怖分子。”““古尔·奥切特告诉我们，一个卡达西前哨被袭击了。”
他不能让公众知道他的债务。如果发生这种情况，如果他暴露在外面，他破产了，那将产生一连串破坏性的事件，我无法忍受去想它。英国幸免于南海泡沫，因为它是一个古老的、庞大的、根深蒂固的经济体，但是法国，现代金融是新兴的，从未从同时发生的密西西比泡沫中恢复过来。如果Duer暴露在外面，我们很幸运能像法国一样看到我们的经济被毁，我们的人民被穷困。银行将倒闭，所以商人会失败，然后农场。我看到深度无意识，没有反射反应。”““Babinski？“破碎机。一阵短暂的沉默，然后，“负巴宾斯基，“斯宾塞说。他听起来很困惑。“上帝真奇怪，“破碎机咕哝着。
她上下打量着我全身，就像卖牛肉的一面。然后她以一种我一点也不喜欢的方式笑了。我们坐在她整洁的小客厅里，啜饮茶。她告诉我她的名字叫帕米拉，但是似乎不愿意告诉我列奥尼达斯选择的姓。没关系，因为她对我很优雅，即使我怀疑有别的东西正好藏在表面之下。夫人帕米拉端上了一杯美味的茶和一些甜燕麦蛋糕，里面有葡萄干。5,六年前,他开始跑步的morning-couple英里,然后三个,然后四个。工作一段时间。现在?Fergetit。
我又看了看板条箱，上面印有供应商的名字。我立刻抓起帽子和外套，朝街上走去。步行半小时就到了酒商，我冲进去，要求立即与业主谈话。这三人看上去都很担心和尴尬。破碎机开始了。“在过去的几个小时里，我们三个医疗队已经把我们带回来的428人分诊了。它们都没有显示出更高的皮质功能，既不是对感觉的反应，也不是我们所认为的想法。”“她摇了摇头。
““可以，所以华莱士留下了一支铅笔。这可不是核法规。”““你真的没看到吗？我们在房间里…”““我听过这个故事，你在SCIF，华莱士进来了，然后，而不是伸出手来，接下来的四十分钟，他翻阅旧唱片。这个男孩,以完美的节制穿着棕色和金色宽皮带和他的长,barbarian-style头发刷回来,是迫切指出所有,他的继母和医生的仆人他死亡前两周。他看起来非常开心,很年轻,Rustem思想,意识到讽刺。Thenais已经赞扬至少半打男人和女人坐在附近,介绍Rustem与完美的形式。
这已经明确表示,一个重要的声明将今天在这里。它不是很难猜测这可能是什么。Leontes不在kathisma,今天下午也不是皇帝在这里,但下午有很长的路要走。Carullus看着他的妻子。Kasia参加她的第一次比赛,仍明显不安的人群。站的不结盟的军官的部分一定是不如绿党的不守规矩的站区域,但他仍然担心她。的需要。我可能无法去七圈。“他妈的。
我们需要计算。塔拉斯,你是住在这战车。我为你骑第二。我们要赢得这场比赛等等Crescens在墙上或脊柱或自己的宽敞的直肠。理解吗?”他没有救了,毕竟。或者,也许他是,在一个不同的方式。”起初，我不知道她得了。她比其他婴儿更容易疲劳，但是我自己仍然在缓慢移动，没有注意到。直到她五岁，她因患流感住院，浑身发抖，她被确诊了。博士。吴说，克莱尔有轻微的心律失常，可能改善，可能不会；他让她服用卡托普利，拉西克斯兰毒素他说我们得等着瞧。
我希望你能赢得这场比赛,她说。医生已正式否认责任如果他自杀。她用小刀站下。她与一个赛马场。圣那是我最喜欢的——那个相信你可以完全平凡的人，但那份伟大的爱却能以某种方式传送你。然而，这是很久以前的事了。生活总是有指点的，带着巨大的信号，你看错了东西，不是吗？当我开始向自己承认我宁愿死去的时候，我被送给一个不得不拼命才能活下来的孩子。在过去的一个月里，克莱尔的心律失常恶化了。
我承认，然而，那天下午，我在城市酒馆喝了太多的酒，开始向任何愿意听的人要求我已经厌倦了等待信息。我要去纽约，我说，找到迪尔，要求他告诉我在哪里可以找到辛西娅·皮尔逊。一个和蔼可亲的年轻商人护送我到门口，我自己回家了。那将会是事件的结束，但是第二天下午迪希尔宣布，我收到了一箱10瓶好的西班牙雪利酒。随附的便条是威廉·迪尔的，它宣布，他希望我知道自己的努力对他有多么有益，这酒是表示感激的礼物。这些话多余而切题，然而，毫无疑问，这肯定是一种幸灾乐祸。““直言不讳，“汉弥尔顿说，“我并不完全确定她没有开始以这个计划吸引我的注意。她很漂亮。”““我见过她。”““然后你知道。她很可爱，但是飘忽不定，变化无常，不是特别聪明。然而我无法控制自己。

La Ford GT40 deve il proprio mito ai successi a ripetizione ottenuti nella seconda metà degli anni Sessanta nella 24 Ore di Le Mans, quando era guerra aperta tra Herry Ford II ed Enzo Ferrari.
Negli anni Sessanta Henry Ford II, a capo di un immenso impero automobilistico, era il padrone del mondo, poteva permettersi tutto ciò che voleva. Dal nonno aveva preso non soltanto il nome, ma anche la passione per le auto italiane. Se del patriarca era celebre la frase: “Quando vedo una Lancia, mi tolgo il cappello”. Il nipote era un grande estimatore delle Ferrari. Voleva che la Ford avesse auto sportive altrettanto belle e performanti. Decise così nel 1962 di sovvenzionare la Scuderia di Carroll Shelby nelle gare statunitensi per gettare le basi di un’entrata in campo della Ford nell’elitario settore delle Gran Turismo sportive. Le vetture di Shelby riuscivano a battersi ad armi pari e a imporsi sulle Chevrolet Corvette, ma se nelle griglie di partenza c’erano le Ferrari era tutta un’altra storia. Resosi conto del tempo e dei costi necessari per raggiungere il livello delle Rosse, decise di acquistare la piccola casa di Maranello e trasformarla nel reparto corse Ford.
Nel maggio del 1963 intavolò le trattative con Enzo Ferrari, mettendo sul piatto pacchi di dollari a cui era difficile dire di no. Enzo Ferrari dopo la morte del figlio Dino si sentiva vecchio e stanco, accettò la creazione di una società per la produzione delle vetture stradali ed anche l’ingresso di Ford nella Scuderia, ma quest’ultima doveva rimanere sotto il suo diretto ed esclusivo comando. Quando capì che così non era, mise alla porta in malo modo gli emissari del potente magnate americano. Uno sgarbo che Ford non digerì. Decise di mettere in campo tutte le risorse tecniche e finanziarie per creare auto altrettanto performanti e vincenti delle Ferrari con l’obiettivo di imporsi nel Campionato Mondiale Vetture Sport che rappresentava la più qualificata vetrina per le supercar dell’epoca. Tra i due capitani d’industria iniziò una sfida, senza esclusione di colpi, anche bassi, che passò alla storia come la Guerra Ferrari-Ford.
Terreno della contesa fu soprattutto la 24 Ore di Le Mans, la più celebre e prestigiosa competizione per le vetture sport. Per vincerla Ford creò una unità operativa in Gran Bretagna, la Ford Advanced Vehicles e coinvolse nel progetto la Lola. Alla fine fu sviluppata una vettura che venne denominata con l’acronimo GT (Gran Turismo) e 40 pari ai pollici di altezza misurati al parabrezza (1,02 m) come prescritto dal regolamento.
La GT40 fu presentata al Salone di New York del 1964. Il motore era un V8 di 4,2 litri derivato dalla serie. Nel frattempo, la Lola si occupava di realizzare gli chassis per le due auto da schierare alla 1000 km del Nürburgring primo debutto ufficiale della nuova nata in competizione. Nulla da fare però contro lo strapotere della Ferrari 275 P di Ludovico Scarfiotti e Nino Vaccarella. Ancora più cocente la sconfitta alla 24 Ore di Le Mans vinta dalla Ferrari 275 ancora con Nico Vaccarella questa volta in coppia con il francese Jean Guichet.
Furioso per lo smacco, Ford ordinò di riprogettare completamente la vettura che venne equipaggiata di un V8 di 4,7 litri più potente e affidabile. Nel 1965 arrivarono le prime vittorie in patria tra cui la prestigiosa 2000 km di Daytona. L’anno successivo fu approntato un nuovo motore con cilindrata incrementata a 7000 cm3. Ford volle fare le cose in grande e schierò un vero squadrone alla 24 Ore di Le Mans. I mostri dell’Ovale Blu dominarono la corsa conquistando tutti e tre i gradini del podio, superando per la prima volta la media dei 200 km/h sull’arco delle 24 ore di gara. Nel 1967 la nuova GT40 Mk IV, con telaio e aerodinamica profondamente rivisti, polverizzò il record della pista e, raggiungendo punte di velocità massima di 343 km/h, si aggiudicò nuovamente la vittoria davanti alla Ferrari 330 P4.
Nel 1968 Enzo Ferrari per protesta contro i nuovi regolamenti che, a suo dire, favorivano gli americani, non prese parte al campionato. C’era però un nuovo temibile avversario, la Porsche con le nuove 908, ma le vetture di Stoccarda non riuscirono a reggere sulle lunghe distanze. Dopo la prima parte della gara in testa furono affette da ogni genere di problema meccanico. La Ford GT40 di Lucien Bianchi e Pedro Rodríguez tagliò per prima il traguardo. L’anno seguente, si ripete la sfida tra Ford e Porsche, quest’ultima schierò le potentissime e velocissime 917. Ancora una volta il “vecchio” poderoso motore V8 della GT 40 si dimostrò più affidabile dei propulsori di minor cubatura impiegati sui prototipi. Le 917 gettarono la spugna, mentre la GT40 condotta da Ickx e Jackie Oliver, vinse in volata per pochi secondi sulla 908 di Hans Herrmann e Gerard Larrousse.

|Brief Title ICMJE||Stopping and Restarting Anti-HIV Drugs in Children and Adolescents With Low Blood Levels of HIV|
|Official Title ICMJE||Intensification of HIV-Specific CD4 and CD8 Activity by Cycling Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) in Pediatric/Adolescent Patients With Less Than 50 HIV RNA Copies/ml|
Some patients taking anti-HIV drugs as part of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) do not show any HIV in the blood; however, some HIV will remain hidden in the body and, if the drugs are stopped, will return to the blood. The purpose of this study is to determine if short periods of stopping HAART increase the activity of CD8 and CD4 cells (cells of the immune system that fight infection), if repeated stopping of these drugs for longer periods of time and restarting them will increase effectiveness of HAART, and if the increased immune system activity as a result of stopping treatment leads to lower levels of HIV over time.
Some HIV infected patients taking HAART have been able to achieve prolonged suppression of HIV viral load for extended periods of time. However, discontinuing HAART has consistently resulted in HIV's return to plasma. Both CD8 and CD4 cells are markedly reduced in individuals with prolonged HIV suppression; control of and response to cell-associated HIV is dependent on immune-mediated mechanisms involving these cells. It is hypothesized that a brief and low-level increase in HIV levels resulting from HAART interruption might boost HIV-specific CD8 and CD4 T-cell counts. After suppression of viral load with the reintroduction of HAART, the expanded CD8 population might be able to better control viral replication and better respond to cell-associated HIV. Future treatment interruption may lead to longer periods of undetectable viral loads.
Patients are divided into 2 age cohorts, with Cohort 1 consisting of children and adolescents 4 years and older up to 21 years of age, and Cohort 2 consisting of children and adolescents 2 years and older up to 4 years of age. Patients will be assigned to one of 2 groups. Group A patients will participate in drug holiday cycles from HAART and then back to HAART; Group B is a control group that remains on continuous HAART throughout the study. Cycle 1 for Group A patients begins with 18 days of HAART and a 3-day drug holiday. At the end of the drug holiday, viral load is measured and HAART is resumed for 28 days (detectable virus cycle) if viral load is detectable after the drug holiday. If viral load remains below the level of detection, the patient begins the next drug holiday cycle. With each subsequent drug holiday cycle, time off HAART will increase by 2 days. Patients failing 4 repeated detectable virus (28-day treatment) cycles will be taken off study.
Patients will be enrolled in this study for a minimum of 142 weeks. For Group A, HIV viral load and CD4 cell count are measured at the end of each drug holiday and each HAART resumption; HIV-specific CD4 and CD8 responses are measured every 3 cycles; and cell-associated HIV is assessed at entry, at 12-week intervals, and at the end of the study. For Group B, physical exams are conducted and HIV viral load and other blood work are measured every 12 weeks.

In language there are certain linguistic elements that are more frequently or typically used in a parenthetical or detached way than other elements. In English, this is the case with the words that belong to the grammatical class of adverbs. As Ramat and Ricca observe, the functional property of the linguistic category of adverbs is that they “add information to other linguistic elements which can stand on their own, semantically as well as syntactically” [18, 187].
Biber et al. distinguish three main groups of adverbs, namely [12, 765]:
- a) circumstance adverbs (eagerly, here, now, slowly, then, weekly);
- b) stance adverbs (apparently, clearly, frankly, perhaps, technically, unfortunately);
- c) linking adverbs (additionally, besides, moreover, nevertheless).
As they note [12, 765], of the three groups, circumstance adverbs are the most common class in all four registers of the English corpus (conversation, fiction, news, and academic discourse) that they have studied. Circumstance adverbs, however, are those that are the most dependent and least flexible regarding their position in the sentence.
Conversely, stance and linking adverbs are detached, both syntactically and semantically, from the core propositional content. Stance adverbs provide a comment about the propositional content while linking adverbs signal the way in which the propositional content of the one utterance relates to that of utterances elsewhere in the text. Stance adverbs convey information about the propositional content of the sentence or about the speech act that is associated with the sentence, occupying the interpersonal level of meaning, which concerns speaker/hearer attitudes .
The adverbs that fall within the group of stance adverbs are often treated in the literature in connection with adverbs from the group of linking adverbs, under a number of labels and within a variety of frameworks. Depending on the interests of scholars, stance adverbs are treated next to linking adverbs, under the label of “sentence adverbs” or “sentence adverbials” or “sentence modifiers” .
Stance adverbials are primarily single adverbs (e.g., frankly, obviously), although they can also include prepositional phrases and noun phrases functioning as adverbials (e.g., in general, no doubt). Four semantic classes of stance adverbials are distinguished: attitudinal, non-factive, factive, likelihood. Complement clause constructions in English provide an especially rich source of stance expressions.
Stance adverbials can be split into three main categories, based on semantic and pragmatic criteria, namely: epistemic, attitude and style adverbials [11, 854].
Epistemic adverbials express the writer’s comment on some aspect of the truth-value of the proposition commenting on factors such as certainty, reality, sources, limitations, and precision of the proposition expressed by the relevant clause [11, 764]:
As a matter of fact, Claudia and her friend were given the name of this Black Madam on line by an on-line friend who highly recommended her [COCA, SPOK, 2011].
Undeniably, Rocky has been a mixed blessing for Stallone – a creation so powerful that it overshadows its creator [COCA, MAG, 2006].
TABLE 1. STANCE ADVERBIALS
figuratively, frankly, honestly, literally, seriously, truthfully
|quite frankly, quite honestly, quite simply||in a word, in brief, with all due respect||if I may say so, if you don’t mind my asking||more simply put, putting it bluntly, strictly speaking, technically speaking, to tell you the truth|
|ATTITUDE STANCE||Evaluation; judgement; assessment of expectations||amazingly, astonishingly, conveniently, curiously, disturbingly, fortunately, hopefully, inevitably, interestingly, ironically, predictably, quite rightly, regrettably, sadly, sensibly, surprisingly, unbelievably, unfortunately, wisely||even more importantly, rather surprisingly, even worse, oddly enough, rather surprisingly||to my surprise||as might be expected, as you might guess, as you would expect||most surprising of all, rather surprisingly|
|EPISTEMIC STANCE||Imprecision||about, approximately kind of, like, roughly, sort of||If you can call it that||So to speak|
|Viewpoint or perspective||from our perspective, in my opinion, in my view, in our view, in some cases, in the author’s view|
|Limitation||generally, mainly, typically||in general, in most cases, in most instances, on the whole|
|Source/ evidence||apparently, evidently, reportedly||According to…||As X motes|
|Actuality & reality||actually, really||for a fact, in actual fact, in fact||as a matter of fact|
|Doubt & certainty||certainly, definitely, maybe, obviously, of course, perhaps, probably, undeniably, undoubtedly||most likely, quite likely||for all I know, without doubt||No doubt||I think, I guess, I bet, I would say, it seems, it appears|
|SINGLE WORD ADVERB||ADV. P.||PREP. PHRASE||N. P.||FINITE CLAUSE||NON-FINITE CLAUSE|
Attitude adverbials express the writer’s opinion about the content of the clause:
As might be expected, these forms of violence reflect Lawrence’s own trajectory as a writer [COCA, ACAD, 2007].
Most surprising of all, researchers are accumulating evidence that the line between normal and abnormal personality is much more subtle than anyone imagined [COCA, MAG, 2005].
Predictably, one of the kids pushed the other off when they were about twenty feet up, and Edward instinctively reached over the rope to break his fall, but the safety field caught the kid in midshriek and bounced him up and down like a ball for a moment, just as he and his friends undoubtedly knew it would [COCA, FIC, 2011].
The use of simple adverbs as attitudinal adverbs is characteristics of English. Their value in writing is that they form a very compact and elegant way of expressing an opinion on what you are talking about, without pushing yourself into foreground.
Style adverbials form a rather special class. They express the writer’s view regarding the actual formulation of the sentence which follows. Style stance adverbs convey a speaker’s comment about the style or form of the utterance, often clarifying how the speaker is speaking or how the utterance should be understood [Biber, 764]:
With all due respect, even with all of the debate and all the names have been thrown around this week, I want people to be partisan and stand for their principles [COCA, SPOK, 2011].
Now how was I supposed to do that? Physically, it was impossible. Figuratively, it didn’t make any sense, since my mouth was essentially what made me valuable to BOFFO [COCA, FIC, 2010].
Strictly speaking, it is a digital way to test designs against predictable forces [COCA, ACAD, 2010].
Style adverbs are more common in conversation than in other registers and attitude adverbs are slightly more common in news and academic prose than in conversation and fiction.
The research considers patterns of use for three major grammatical systems used to express stance: modal words, adverbials, and complement clause constructions.
For the hereinafter investigating of stance adverbials which function in the sentence as the Parenthesis, the Table 2 below lists the adverbs under the three ways of qualifying a viewpoint .
The adverbs that may be used as the linguistic realization of the epistemic way of qualifying standpoints belong to what are traditionally identified as modal or epistemic adverbs (certainly, clearly, perhaps, possibly, probably, surely) and evidential or hearsay adverbs (allegedly, apparently, obviously, reportedly, seemingly), as well as domain adverbs (emotionally, ideally, logically, officially, technically, theoretically).
The adverbs that can be used as the linguistic realization of the evaluative way of qualifying standpoints belong to the group of adverbs that are generically labeled as “evaluative adverbs” or “attitudinal adverbs” (fortunately, happily, interestingly, oddly, strangely, unfortunately).
The adverbs that can be used as the linguistic realization of the ‘illocutionary’ way of qualifying standpoints add a comment that concerns the act that is being performed, not the content of the act. Such a comment indicates the language user’s awareness of the conditions that pertain to the performance of an assertive speech act. the adverbs that constitute the linguistic realization of this way of qualifying come both from the group of the so-called “illocutionary adverbs” (frankly, honestly, seriously), and from a group of adverbs that are usually included among the epistemic adverbs or treated in the literature under the label of “expectation markers” (actually, admittedly, in fact, of course).

DUVAR - Fransa'nın İslam karşıtlığıyla tanınan sağ liderleri Nicolas Sarkozy ve Marine Le Pen, Nice saldırganının daha kimliği belli olmadan Müslüman karşıtı açıklamalar yaptı. 2017'deki cumhurbaşkanlığı seçimlerinde yeniden aday olma niyetini saklamayan Nicolas Sarkozy, Facebook'tan şu mesajı paylaştı: "Kendisini sürekli yenileyen, bir süre daha devam edecek bir savaştayız. İslamcı terörizme karşı eylem planımızı sürekli güncellemek ve güçlendirmek önceliklerimiz arasında olmalı."
LE PEN CAMİ KAPATMA ÇAĞRISI YAPTI
Aşırı sağcı Ulusal Cephe'nin lideri Marine Le Pen de partisinin internet sitesinde, "İslamcı köktenciliğe karşı savaş başlamalı" açıklaması yaptı. Le Pen, Le Figaro'ya demecindeyse, François Hollande'ın sosyalist hükümetine yüklendi: "Hiçbir şey, kesinlikle hiçbir şey yapılmadı. İnsanlar vatandaşlıktan atılmadı, selefi camiler kapatılmadı."

Il campione in carica della FIA Formula 2 Felipe Drugovich è uno dei giovani piloti più promettenti nel panorama delle monoposto junior. Il brasiliano ha iniziato la sua carriera agonistica professionistica nel 2016 e ha subito assaporato il successo vincendo MRF Challenge Formula 2000 nella stagione 2017/18. Felipe si è assicurato titoli consecutivi nel 2018 trionfando nell'Euroformula Open e nella Formula 3 in Spagna e si è unito alla legge di sostegno della Formula 1 nel 2020 gareggiando in F2.
In una stagione caratterizzata da cinque vittorie e 11 podi, Drugovic ha dominato la stagione 2022 conquistando il Campionato Piloti con un impressionante margine di 101 punti sul suo prossimo rivale più vicino.
Il 22enne è l'attuale pilota di riserva di Aston Martin e McLaren in F1 e più recentemente ha rappresentato il primo durante i test pre-stagionali del 2023 in Bahrain.
«Non vedo l'ora di assaggiare per la prima volta la Maserati Tipo Folgore e la Gen3 Formula E a Berlino», ha detto. «La Formula E è una categoria che mi ha sempre affascinato e sarà intrigante provare le differenze di un'auto completamente elettrica rispetto alle monoposto con cui ho corso nelle ultime stagioni. Sapere che giocherò un ruolo attivo nello sviluppo di un marchio così iconico, nella sua prima stagione nel Campionato del Mondo di motorsport, è un grande onore. Sono molto emozionata».
Il pilota australiano-giapponese Hugh Barter si è messo al volante per la prima volta all'età di sei anni e, dopo aver eccelso sulla scena dei go-kart, è passato alle monoposto nel 2021. È arrivato secondo nella F4 francese dopo aver segnato 12 vittorie e 22 podi nella serie in due stagioni ed è arrivato secondo nella F4 di Spagna la scorsa stagione.
Per il 2022, ha aderito al programma di supporto alla F1 debuttando in FIA Formula 3, guidando per Campos Racing.
«Vorrei ringraziare Maserati MSG Racing per avermi dato l'opportunità di provare la Formula E per la prima volta», ha dichiarato Barter. «Finora mi è piaciuta molto la mia esperienza con la simulazione e non vedo l'ora di scendere in pista a Berlino. Lavorare a stretto contatto con James, Edo e Max sarà un'esperienza di apprendimento inestimabile per me, soprattutto in questa fase della mia carriera».
Sgro: «Maserati è sinonimo di innovazione, al servizio della prossima generazione»
«Siamo lieti di dare il benvenuto a Felipe [Drugovich] e Hugh [Barter] nel team per il nostro test da rookie a Berlino», afferma James Rossiter, Team Principal di Maserati MSG Racing. «Rappresenta un'occasione fondamentale per la prossima generazione di talenti automobilistici di provare per la prima volta il motorsport elettrico. Con Felipe e Hugh, avremo una formazione di piloti formata da esperienza e gioventù. Non vediamo l'ora che scendano in pista con la vettura GEN3 a Berlino».
Giovanni Sgro, responsabile di Maserati Corse, aggiunge: «Siamo entusiasti di vedere nuovi talenti avvicinarsi ai più alti livelli del motorsport, specialmente in una serie innovativa e moderna come la Formula E e con giovani piloti come Felipe e Hugh. I test da rookie possono essere la migliore piattaforma e opportunità sia per i piloti che per i team per scoprire i talenti futuri e dare ai ragazzi la possibilità di dimostrare e mostrare le proprie capacità.
«Maserati è sempre stata sinonimo di innovazione e di un marchio lungimirante e siamo lieti di incoraggiare e sostenere le attività per la prossima generazione, che rappresenta il futuro del motorsport. Siamo fiduciosi che Felipe e Hugh faranno un'ottima sessione di test e non vediamo l'ora di vedere la loro carriera agonistica evolversi».

不孕不育什么时候检查最好？不孕不育的检查项目有哪些？很多夫妻在迟迟怀孕不上后很想确诊自己是不是患上了不孕不育症，但是却不知道什么时候检查最合适，下面，妈妈宝宝小编就每个不孕不育检查项目的检查时间做一个说明。
1、卵巢功能检查时间：经期第二、三天
一般是经期的第二天或第三天抽血检查荷尔蒙，因为在这时候，女性体内的荷尔蒙不会有太大的浮动，因此可以清楚判断卵巢老化、慢性不排卵及多囊性卵巢症状群等问题。
2、泌乳激素检查时间：早上较好
一般妇女泌乳激素如果过高，会干扰正常排卵及月经周期。由于泌乳激素在傍晚，尤其是在夜晚会生理性上升，因此建议在早上检查，比较准确。
3、卵巢肿瘤指数检查时间：非经期较适合
如选在经期间抽血检查卵巢肿瘤指数，大都呈现假阳性偏高，会让患者白白担心受怕，以为自己得了不治之症。因此建议最好在非经期期间检查。
4、输卵管摄影时间：月经后三至七天输卵管摄影
千万不要在排卵期间检查，这会把受精卵推向输卵管末端或腹腔，造成子宫外孕;也不可在经期间执行检查，由于经血可能阻塞原本通畅的输卵管，造成误判。因此最佳的检查时间点为月经结束后的三至七天内。
5、子宫镜检查和腹腔镜检查时间：月经后三至七天最适宜
子宫镜必须灌水撑开子宫腔以利检查，而腹腔镜则是将显影剂注入子宫腔及输卵管，来判读输卵管是否阻塞，两者都有可能把胚胎冲走，造成外孕。因此最佳的检查时间点也是在月经结束后的三至七天内。
6、男性精虫检查时间：先禁欲三至七天
男性精虫检查，一般只须短暂禁欲三至七天，配合生殖医学中心人员上班时间，将采出的精夜置入检查盒中，尽量在一小时内送达并交给技术员，半个钟头内即知结果。
专家建议，不孕症初诊的患者最好在月经见红的三天内来就诊，所有的检查均可在一个月内完成，配合医师的治疗，想赶快成功怀孕，其实不难。
不孕不育检查要空腹吗?
关于检查是否要空腹的问题，由于荷尔蒙、泌乳激素、卵巢肿瘤指数不会因为用餐前后而有所浮动或改变，因此都不必空腹就能做检查;而输卵管摄影是在患者清醒的情形下检查，也不必空腹。唯有子宫镜、腹腔镜在全身麻醉下进行，为避免胃中食物逆流导致吸入性肺炎，因此检查前8个小时一律空腹禁食。

معاون وزیر راه و شهرســازی گفت: برنامه اصلی ما این اســت که سفته بازی و سوداگری را از بازار مسکن خارج کنیم و برای ثبات قیمت در بخش مصرفی، تولید مسکن را افزایش دهیم. محمود محمودزاده در گفت وگو با ایســنا اظهار کرد: تعیین قیمت ها در بازار مسکن تابع دو بخش مصرفی و سرمایه گذاری است. در بازار مصرف با یک واقعیت مواجه هستیم و آن هم توان خرید است که باید قیمت با توان خرید رابطه داشته باشد. اگر از این بابت به موضوع نگاه کنید مسکن مصرفی چاره ای ندارد جز اینکه در حد توان طرف تقاضا باشــد. طرح اقدام ملی تولید و عرضه ۴00 هزار واحد مســکونی یا تفاهم نامه هایی که با دستگاه های دولتی منعقد شده در راستای تامین مسکن مصرفی است. او افزود: هدف این است که واجدان شرایط یعنی کسانی که واقعا فاقد مسکن هستند صاحب خانه شوند. نه اینکه کسی بخواهد بحث سرمایه گذاری را از طریق طرح اقدام ملی مسکن جلو ببرد. معاون وزیر راه و شهرسازی با بیان اینکه بازار سرمایه گذاری تابع مسائل اقتصادی متعدد و متنوعی است، تصریح کرد: سرمایه گذاری، بازار دومی اســت که همیشه ترکیب این حوزه با بخش مصرفی باعث از بین رفتن ثبات در بازار شده است. محمودزاده تاکید کرد: بخش عمده تمرکز ما روی بازار مصرف است که با مشوق های متعدد برای تولید واحدهایی که در توان متقاضیان واقعی باشد می توان این حوزه را کنترل کرد. همزمان کنترل بازار سرمایه گذاری را در دستور کار داریم. بحث سامانه املاک و اســکان با این هدف راه اندازی شد که بانک اطلاعاتی برای سیاستگذاری داشــته باشیم که همه بخش های مرتبط با مسکن در آن دخیل باشند. نظام بانکی، وزارت صمت، وزارت نیرو، وزارت نفت، وزارت کشور و شهرداری ها از جمله بخش هایی هستند که می توانند در رابطه با طرح های حمایتی، کمک کنند. او تصریح کرد: از نگاه کلان اقتصادی، ظرفیت سرمایه گذاری در حوزه مسکن هیچ گاه پر نمی شود. به هر حال بازار مسکن ظرفیت حبس سرمایه بالایی دارد که هم می تواند نقطه ضعف و هم نقطه قوت باشد. ولی طبیعتا حاکمیت به لحاظ ســرمایه گذاری، زیرســاختی و روبنایی باید آن را مدیریت کند. بزرگترین هدف سامانه امکان و اسکان این است که تا حد امکان سرمایه گذاری، سفته بازی و بورس بازی را از مسکن خارج و بخش تولید واحدهای مسکونی در استطاعت فاقدان مسکن را رونق دهیم. خانه متری 1/27 میلیون تومان بنابراین گزارش، مطابق اعلام بانک مرکزی متوسط قیمت مسکن شهر تهران در آبان ماه 1399 بالغ بر 27 میلیون و 100 هزار تومان در هر متر مربع بود که نسبت به ماه قبل 1/8 درصد و نسبت به ماه مشابه سال قبل 118 درصد رشد نشان می دهد. این کمترین میزان افزایش ماهیانه قیمت از اردیبهشت سال جاری تا کنون بوده است. معامالت نیز در هشتمین ماه از سال جاری به طور محسوسی کاهش یافت.
هشدار رئیس اتحادیه مشاوران املاک
رئیس اتحادیه مشاوران املاک نسبت به معامله مسکن در فضای مجازی به مردم هشدار داد. مصطفی قلی خسروی در گفت وگو با ایلنا درباره انجام معاملات در شرایط محدودیت های کسب و کار ناشی از اجرای پروتکل های کرونایی اظهار کرد: این روزها از انجام معاملات مجازی برای خرید و فروش مسکن صحبت می شود که در این شرایط باید نسبت به ریسک انجام این معاملات هشدار داد. او با بیان اینکه معاملات مجازی در بخش مسکن غیرقانونی است، گفت: عده ای با سوء استفاده از این شرایط به وجود آمده و با دریافت حق کمیســیون پایین تر از نرخ مصوب، مردم را تشویق به انجام معاملات مجازی در بخش مسکن می کنند که باید اعلام کنیم این معاملات غیرقانونی است و مردم اصل را فدای فرع نکنند. خسروی با تاکید بر اینکه در انجام معاملات مجازی هیچ گارانتی و ضمانتی وجود ندارد، ادامــه داد: در صورت هر گونــه کلاهبرداری امکان پیگیری وجود نخواهد داشــت و احتمال باخت در این معاملات غیرقانونی بسیار بالاست.

Scala if 表达式
if 表达式
和其它语言（比如 Java，C#)相比，Scala 只内置了为数不多的几种程序控制语句： if，while，for ，try match 以及函数调用，这是因为从Scala 诞生开始就包含了函数字面量，Scala 内核没有定义过多的控制结构，而是可以通过额外的库来扩展程序的控制结构。
Scala的所有控制结构都有返回结果，如果你使用过 Java或C#，就可能了解 Java 提供的三元运算符 ?: ，它的基本功能和 if 一样，当可以返回结果。Scala 在此基础上所有控制结构（while，try，if，等）都可以返回结果。这样做的一个好处是，可以简化代码，如果没有这种特点，程序员常常需要创建一个临时变量用来保存结果。
总的来说，Scala 提供的基本程序控制结构，“麻雀虽小，五脏俱全”，虽然少，但足够满足其他指令式语言（如 Java,C++）所支持的程序控制功能，而且由于这些指令都有返回结果，可以使得代码更为精简。
if 表达式
Scala 语言的 if 的基本功能和其它语言没有什么不同，它根据条件执行两个不同的分支，比如，使用 Java 风格编写下面 Scala 的 if 语句的一个例子：
var filename="default.txt" if(!args.isEmpty) filename =args(0)
上面代码和使用 Java 实现没有太多区别，看起来不怎么像 Scala 风格，我们重新改写一下，利用 if 可以返回结果这个特点。
val filename= if(!args.isEmpty) args(0) else "default.txt"
首先这种代码比前段代码短，更重要的是这段代码使用 val 而无需使用 var 类型的变量。使用 val 为函数式编程风格。

What are symptoms of pulmonary hypertension?
Many of the symptoms of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are nonspecific leading to under or misdiagnosis in many patients. It is common to spend more than two years from the time symptoms present to the time of accurate diagnosis. This is very concerning since pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease and the more advanced the disease is before treatment the worse the outcomes are for the patient. For this reason, many PAH specialists spend time and energy educating community physicians about signs and symptoms of pulmonary hypertension.
Common symptoms of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) include:
Breathlessness or dyspnea: Usually starts with shortness of breath with activities such as walking up inclines or stairs but can progress to breathlessness at rest.
Chest pain: This pain can vary from feeling pressure in the chest to stabbing pain and is very individualized.
Dizziness: Feeling light headed or dizzy with activity.
Fainting: This is a verry concerning symptom that should be paid close attention. Many times the fainting happens when a pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patient bends down with their head lowered to pick something up. A known pulmonary hypertension patient should always report an episode of fainting or near fainting to their PAH specialist.
Chronic fatigue: Not being able to do the same activities as previously able to do, or having to take breaks to complete usual chores such as making the bed or vacuuming the floor.
Swelling in the ankles or edema: Fluid accumulates in the body because the heart is strained and cannot efficiently pump. The fluid generally settles in the feet, ankles, and legs as they are the most dependent part of the body but swelling can also be noticed in the abdomen and hands.
Many other diseases such as congestive heart failure or diastolic heart failure have very similar symptoms of pulmonary hypertension. Diagnosing pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) involves ruling out other causes for these symptoms by doing non-invasive testing such as pulmonary function tests, CT scans, and echocardiograms before proceeding to the more invasive right heart catheterization.

Trovare il punto d'incontro è stato molto confuso. Era nel porto vecchio in una chiesa. Il problema è che ci sono 2 chiese al porto vecchio e prima di tutto, non potevamo leggere il greco per conoscere il nome della chiesa e credo che entrambe le chiese avessero lo stesso nome. Una migliore descrizione del luogo dell'incontro sarebbe ottima. Che ne dici della chiesa di fronte al municipio. Il traghetto e il tour di per sé sono stati fantastici. La nostra guida ci ha raccontato grandi storie della storia di Delo. Non posso raccomandare abbastanza di visitare Delos se ami la storia. È anche una bellissima isola da vivere.
Il tour inizia e termina con Alexandra, che è stata un'eccellente guida con un sacco di conoscenze sulla storia e la mitologia di Delo. Ha risposto a ogni domanda e ci ha mostrato quanto più poteva nel tempo concesso. Non c'è ombra a Delo, quindi porta molta acqua e indossa un cappello e buone scarpe da passeggio mentre viaggi indietro di secoli per vedere l'archeologia di un'isola fiorente nei tempi antichi.
Apprezzata la profonda conoscenza archeologica della nostra guida Angela che ce l'ha resa facilmente comprensibile. Delos è un sito onnipresente, da non perdere.
Archeologo molto ben informato come guida, ha attraversato l'ingresso mentre altri gruppi aspettavano in fila. Molto meglio degli altri gruppi guidati.
La donna che era la nostra guida era altamente istruita e articolata. Lei conosce il suo valore.

ANN ARBOR, MI, October 20, 2016 – ProQuest’s comprehensive collection of Early English Books Online (EEBO) now includes even more exceptional works from the dawn of printing in England from 1473 to 1700, enabling thousands of rare, delicate resources to be accessible online to researchers around the world.
With EEBO’s September 2016 release, scholars can now explore an additional 631 scanned image titles acquired from 27 unique archives, bringing the total to nearly 132,000 titles. A wealth of new content is available in subjects such as poetry and songs; sermons and texts from the Church of Ireland; ordinances, declarations, votes and petitions from the governments of England, Wales and Scotland; materials from the East India Company, Company of Scotland Trading and the Royal African Company; plantation records, gunpowder laws and pieces relating to the plague from North Ireland. In addition, Catalogues of books to be sold by auction by the booksellers of London provide insight on the history of the book trade.
“Our dedicated content acquisitions and editorial team has been steadily adding remarkable new titles every year from library archives, museums and private collections to EEBO,” said Susan Bokern, ProQuest Vice President, Product Management. ”No other single resource for early modern scholarship is as comprehensive as this database, or has the same high impact for researchers in the humanities.”
A 2015 study conducted by the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford (UK) and commissioned by Jisc and ProQuest, showed that both the use and citations of EEBO in research papers has increased steadily since the database was first launched in digital form 16 years ago. According to the study, EEBO citations include those for literature, linguistics, history, philosophy, theology, music, arts, education, mathematics, and science. A copy of the full report can be found here.
Used by students and scholars in thousands of universities and research organizations worldwide, EEBO enables researchers to explore the complete, digitized images of nearly all the works listed in the key bibliographic records of English literature: The Short-Title Catalogue (Pollard & Redgrave, 1475-1640); The Short-Title Catalogue II (Wing, 1641-1700); The Thomson Tracts; and the Early English Books Tract Supplements, as well as original almanacs, pamphlets, musical scores, prayer books and other intriguing works from the early days of printing, using the English Short Title Catalogue as their guide.

How to Learn a Guitar Solo
Have you been learning to play your electric guitar but haven’t tried to play a guitar solo yet?
It can be intimidating to learn your first guitar solo. There are a few things that you need to keep in mind. This guide will help you master that first solo and make it easier for you to memorize it for the future.
Start with a Short and Simple Solo
You should start with a short guitar solo at first.
It’s easier to memorize just a few bars that it is to memorize a long, complicated solo. Some of the most famous solos of all time are quite short.
Here are some samples:
- Intro solo to Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
- Elvis – Heartbreak Hotel
- Californication -Red Hot Chilli Peppers
- Come Together – The Beatles
- Nothing Else Matters – Metallica
- Whole Lotta Love – Led Zeppelin
These are a few suggestions. Try a short solo of an artist that you like.
What to Do First
Before you try and learn the solo, listen to it several times. You want to get the feeling of the solo in your head. You want to recreate that feeling when you play it. Spend a lot of time just listening and try to pick out some of the notes. See if you can play a few of them on your electric guitar. Don’t look at any music when you do this. This is a good ear training exercise. See if you can figure out the “key” that the song is in.
Always play a solo slow at first. Work it up to speed as you master each section.
Break it Down
To learn a solo, you need to break it down bar by bar. Have a look at the music and each bar of the solo. Start with the first bar, and don’t play anything else until you have mastered that one bar. Once you have mastered the first bar add in the second bar. Continue doing this until you can connect all the bars together. Don’t worry about speed or timing here, get the notes of the solo under your fingers.
Look for Patterns
To help with memorization, look for patterns in the solo. For example, there may be one lick that is played several times during the solo. Many solos have patterns like this that you can pick out. In some cases, the lick may change a bit or move to another place on the fretboard. Watch for this sort of change in the guitar solo.
Think of a solo as a series of licks that you need to learn on your electric guitar. Each lick connects to the next one to make up the solo. Once you can see the licks and patterns in a solo, learning it is much easier.
What to Do if You Struggle with the Solo
Solo guitar is a lot harder than rhythm guitar. It’s easy to struggle at first. The key is to master small sections (each bar) of the solo before you try and play the whole thing. This is why you need to break down the solo, as discussed earlier. Examine the sections that give you trouble. Is it a certain bend? Fast lick? Try to isolate the section that is giving you problems and work on that part. Try to see how the other parts connect to the section giving you problems.
Play it with the Recording
Once you have the notes under your fingers. Play the recording and try the solo with the music. This is difficult the first few times you do it. The key is to keep practicing until you can play the solo with the recording and get the notes right.
If you struggle, try going through the motions of the solo without playing the notes. Put your fingers where the notes should be and play some air guitar to the solo on the record. See of you can then play the first couple of bars without making a mistake. Once you can do that, add in more bars.
It May Not Sound the Same as the Recording
Playing a guitar solo “exactly” like the recording is quite difficult. Don’t worry if it’s not quite the same. It takes a lot of practice to get a solo to sound like a recording does. Your own personality will come out in the solo that you play. For example, your vibrato may be a bit different than the guitarist that recorded the solo.
The whole idea of learning a guitar solo is to take your time. Break the solo down and work on it bar by bar. Master small section of the solo, then put it all together. Play along with the recording as much as possible. Get the solo as close to the actual recording as you can.
Learning to play the electric guitar can seem difficult at times, that’s why having a great electric guitar teacher to guide you is very important. In London, Electric Guitar Lessons, will be able to help you improve your guitar playing and your creativity.

Liverpool e Wolverhampton hanno superato i 32° di finale della FA Cup.
I Reds di Klopp hanno sconfitto per 4-1 l'Aston Villa grazie alla doppietta di Manè e ai gol di Salah e Wijnaldum. Inutile il gol della bandiera di Barry.
Il Wolverhampton ha eliminato in casa il Crystal Palace per 1-0 con un gol di Traorè. L'ex Fiorentina Cutrone, appena rientrato agli Wolves dal prestito alla Viola, ha giocato gli ultimi 12 minuti di partita subentrando ai Fabio Silva. L'attaccante italiano si era trasferito nel club inglese nell'estate del 2019 dal Milan.

(relief in the fortress of Bodrum)
The town of Kos (It. Coo), located at the eastern tip of the island by the same name, was founded in the IVth century BC: it soon became one of the richest centres of the region: at the beginning it was ruled by the satraps (Persian governors) of nearby Halicarnassus; after Alexander the Great defeated the Persians, Kos fell within the sphere of influence of the Ptolemies, the Greek dynasty which ruled Egypt and later on of the Romans. In the IInd century AD it was part of the Asia Minor province and it enjoyed great prosperity.
After the fall of the Byzantine Empire in 1204, Venetians and Genoese competed for supremacy on the very impoverished island: the Genoese managed for a while to add Kos to the other large islands (Metelino, Scio) near the Asian coast they already controlled, but in 1315 Vignolo de' Vignoli, the Genoese lord of the island, called in the Knights of St John.
The fortress of Kos has a long rectangular shape and it protects a small harbour of shallow water: its appearance is not as spectacular as that of other fortresses built by the Knights.
The only fortification of some relevance is a round bastion built by Grand Master Fabrizio del Carretto (1513-21); its shape is very similar to the larger bastion that this Grand Master built in Rhodes.
In the construction of the fortress the Knights made use of materials taken from the ruins of the ancient town and of the Asclepeion, a shrine on a nearby hill.
It is with some surprise that one discovers that the walls hide inside another fortress. It was built between 1450 and 1478: in 1480 the Ottomans were unable to conquer it. The Knights however thought that it needed to be strengthened: they eventually decided to build thicker walls on three sides of the old fortress which ended up by being hidden by the new one.
In the inner fortress the use of materials taken from ancient buildings is very evident.
The inner fortress has a more varied and interesting design than the outer one with many coats of arms of the Grand Masters.
Pierre d'Aubusson was Grand Master for 27 years (1476-1503) and he promoted first a major plan of reinforcement of the old fortress and after 1480 the construction of the new one. It is possible to identify the improvements he made after 1489 because in that year he was appointed cardinal and after that date his coat of arms was framed by a cardinal's hat. Ancient reliefs of the Aphrodisian school were often placed below the coats of arms.
In June 1522 Sultan Suleyman laid siege to Rhodes and sent his troops also to Kos and St Peter's Castle, mainly to make sure these fortresses could not send help to the main town of the Knights. In late December 1522 the Knights defending Rhodes capitulated and agreed to withdraw also from all their other fortresses: they left Kos in January 1523.
In May 1912 Kos was occupied by Italian troops (Italo-Turkish War) and for a few years a garrison was located in the old fortress. At that time sentinels did not have cellular phones to occupy their time and a soldier spent his time engraving in the stone a bayonet and the year (1900) he was born.
The medieval town of Kos was located next to the fortress and it was protected by low walls and a small moat filled with water. In 1933 a strong earthquake damaged what was left of the walls: it unearthed the ruins of ancient buildings and the Italian administration chose to excavate the area to bring to light Ancient Kos.
The image used as background for this page shows a relief in the inner fortress portraying angels holding the coat of arms of France.

匆忙的脚步声走上人行道；我的夜钟响了。它很苗条，黑头发的年轻女孩。她穿着黑色的衣服，有点破旧的雨衣和引擎盖。我觉得很奇怪，因为那是一个炎热的夏夜，满月在无云的天空。“你博士贝茨？“““对，“我说。“进来吧。”既然我们要在这儿待一会儿——”“港口锁打开了。谈话突然停止了，大家都转过身来。一位黑衣火星官员，莱特省，站在阴暗的阳光下，凝视着船的周围。
““你听从命令，就像我一样。”““奎格会给你一个奎格悲伤的信号。”“科伦用胳膊搂着甘德那外骨骼的肩膀。“我告诉你吧。引导我回到我的帐篷，让我睡足八个小时，我们平起平坐。那能减轻甘德的罪恶感吗？“““Ooryl认为这是可以接受的。”他不能和你谈论这个罪行，不能妥协你必须找到另一个来源，不仅是你部门里的人，还有外面的人。与此案关系密切，但若讨论此事，不会有失去工作的危险。她开始列出要做的事情。她考虑采访凶手。
“为什么要偷一座城市？为什么不仅仅轰炸它呢？“““赎金，“玛拉热情地说，凝视着地球，她那双黑眼睛明亮。“他们最大的城市，他们理事会的一半——在埃里克的手里！“““火星必须按照Terra的要求去做，“埃里克森说。“现在Terra将能够满足她的商业需求。“饿死了。”““我们找点东西吧。”“他知道离波旁街一个街区的一家意大利餐厅，吃饭时，他们设法使谈话保持轻松，远离过去几天的死亡和伤痛。科尔为房间买了一瓶酒，尽管夏娃认为和科尔在火炉旁啜饮瑞斯林听起来像是灾难的秘方，她没有抱怨。
他跌倒了，把箱子扔得远远的，进入灌木丛他紧张地站了起来。一个身影浮现，穿过黑暗，后面还有更多的数字，男人，穿制服的士兵灯光闪闪发光，致盲他们。埃里克闭上眼睛。灯光离开了他，触摸玛拉和简，默默地站在一起，紧握双手。然后它弹到地上，绕成一个圈。“现在，让我们拥有那笔钱，汤姆！“““你.——你该死.——”“穿过房间，在地板上，我能看见汤姆的小左轮手枪，我把它扔到哪儿了。它可能就在一百万英里之外，尽管我有机会得到它。“来吧，它在哪里？“格里尔问道。然后他看见汤姆冲动地用手向毯子头示意。“可以，“他说。

“先生；你知道“脉冲星滑冰”号是一艘有充分记载的走私历史的船，而助推特瑞克号则是从科雷利亚飞出的最臭名昭著的走私者之一。”“科伦的指挥官笑了。“我对溜冰鞋了如指掌，霍恩中尉。米拉克斯的父亲经常用我父母的加油站进行修理和加油。”你可以期待被杀如果你现在不做,”棕褐色皮革的男人说。夫人。哥伦布低头看着支撑婴儿抱在怀里。”再见,甜蜜的事情,”她说在舒缓的音调,一个温暖的微笑在她的脸上。她抬头看着男人的阴影,然后在安琪拉和她的丈夫。”17夫人。
“但是嘴唇轻轻地拂着他的脸颊，一点也不纯洁，用她光滑的手把他的床单叠起来，使他的身体得到发掘。“你是个好孩子，这么好，好孩子，“她会咕咕叫，就好像他是只刚玩过难把戏的狗。“比那个讨厌的小夏娃好多了。她是个妓女，你知道的，穿着她设计的连衣裙和昂贵的内裤。不管花多少钱，事实是，夏娃的内裤总是在脚踝处。一本伟大的书！“““你什么时候出版那本书？“他含蓄地说。“你会得到很多荣誉，相信我。”““像什么？“““多于一行的确认。”““答应？“““答应。”她几乎被这个词给堵住了。并不是那个家伙不够可爱。
船长会自动知道该怎么做。默认情况下，将建立和使用某些过程。将组织和部署工作队，以反映作战的最佳做法。诺曼·斯科特即兴提出的夜战理论将会得到完善，被编码为教义，为通用而流通。除了使用雷达之外，他们的美德现在得到了公认，新学说听起来很像日本人从一开始就做的事。简和玛拉走近去看，两人都凝视着，几乎没有呼吸。“就在那里，“Erick说。“那里！““他手里拿着一个地球仪，一个透明的小玻璃球。杯子里有东西在动，一些微小而脆弱的东西，塔尖几乎太小了，看不见，微观的，在中空玻璃球体内游动的复杂网。尖顶网一个城市。埃里克把地球仪放进箱子里，啪的一声关上了。

科兰回敬了他。“被解雇。”“机器人急转弯，跟在他后面走开了。科伦盯着他，然后颤抖。“Ooryl没想到这里这么冷。”他举起它，拿着灯，凝视着里面的场景，直到埃里克森从手中取出来放回样品箱。“还有一件事。如果你们三个互相认识，你上车时为什么分开坐着？““他们快速地看着他。“在我们离开迪莫斯之前，你们为什么不互相说话呢？“他向埃里克森靠去，对他微笑。你们三个人。分开坐在船上不说话，直到检查站过去了。

“Ooryl没想到这里这么冷。”“科伦转过身来，看见灰绿色的甘德站在他身后。另一个和这雾混在一起的人。“不冷，Ooryl只是疲劳。“接受道歉，我也要道歉。我被一艘巡洋舰开枪击中后，仍感到不安。我的R2下降了，我有点担心……“她笑了，他胸前的紧张情绪也缓和下来了。“我理解。如果我能帮上什么忙。”
我们可以吸收的能量比例。如果有足够的,它来自哪里不重要。相信我,我们计划在这一刻。我们有一个能源已准备就绪,意志力船和填满我们的生活。科伦严肃地点点头。“现在，关于我的X翼。我炸毁了一个倒立的侧稳定器。”““没错，先生。”
船开始慢慢沉没，坠落到月球上极少有人造访的紧急地带。下来，船下沉了。有刺耳的声音，令人作呕的震动然后沉默。“我们着陆了，“这位身材魁梧的商人说。“他们最好不要对我们做任何事情！如果它们违反一个太空物品，Terra会把它们撕成碎片。”“只剩下五个人了。这三人一定在你们中间。我们已经缩小了范围。”他的手移到腰带上。
船又笨拙地驶过太空，它的喷气式飞机均匀地射击，冷静地，把乘客送往自己的星球，走向家。在他们身后，德莫斯和火星的红球每时每刻都落得越来越远，消失消失在远方。乘客们松了一口气。“现在Terra将能够满足她的商业需求。也许甚至不会有战争。也许Terra会不战而胜。”

Note: "Theravada" is pronounced (more or less, in American English) like "terra vodda." The "th" sound in Pali is not like the "th" in "thick"; it's pronounced more like the "th" combination in "hothouse".
Theravada (Pali: thera "elders" + vada "word, doctrine"), the "Doctrine of the Elders," is the name for the school of Buddhism that draws its scriptural inspiration from the Pali Canon, or Tipitaka, which scholars generally accept as the oldest record of the Buddha's teachings. For many centuries, Theravada has been the predominant religion of Sri Lanka, Burma, and Thailand; today Theravada Buddhists number over 100 million worldwide. In recent decades Theravada has begun to take root in the West, primarily in Western Europe and North America.
Theravada Buddhism goes by many names. The Buddha himself called the religion he founded Dhamma-vinaya, "the doctrine and discipline," in reference to the two fundamental aspects of the system of ethical and spiritual training he taught. Owing to its historical dominance in southern Asia (Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Burma), Theravada is also identified as "Southern Buddhism," in contrast to "Northern Buddhism," which migrated northwards from India into China, Tibet, Japan, and Korea. Theravada is often equated with "Hinayana" (the "Lesser Vehicle"), in contrast to "Mahayana" (the "Greater Vehicle"), which is usually a synonym for Zen, Ch'an, and other expressions of Northern Buddhism. The use of "Hinayana" as a pejorative has its origins in the early schisms within the monastic community that ultimately led to the emergence of what would later become Mahayana. Today scholars of many persuasions use the term "Hinayana" without pejorative intent, although many prefer the more neutral "Early Buddhism". (For more about the complex history of the many schools of Buddhism see, for example, The Buddhist Religion: A Historical Introduction (fourth edition) by R.H. Robinson & W.L. Johnson (Belmont, California: Wadsworth, 1997).)
The language of the Theravada canonical texts is Pali, a relative of Magadhi, which was probably spoken in central India during the Buddha's time. Most of the sermons the Buddha delivered were memorized by Ven. Ananda, the Buddha's cousin and close personal attendant. Shortly after the Buddha's death (ca. 480 BCE), the community of monks -- including Ananda -- convened to recite all the sermons they had heard during the Buddha's forty-five year teaching career. Each recorded sermon (sutta) therefore begins with the disclaimer, Evam me sutam -- "Thus have I heard." The teachings were passed down within the monastic community following a well-established oral tradition. By about 100 BCE the Pali Canon (Tipitaka) was first fixed in writing in Sri Lanka by Sinhala scribe-monks.
It can never be proven beyond doubt that the Pali Canon contains the actual words uttered by the historical Buddha (the archaeological record from the Buddha's era is hopelessly incomplete). But practicing Buddhists have never found this problematic. Unlike the scriptures of some of the world's other great religions, the Pali Canon is not meant to be taken as gospel, containing unassailable statements of divine truth, revealed by a prophet, to be accepted purely on faith. Instead, its teachings are meant to be assessed firsthand; we are challenged to put them into practice in our lives, to find out for ourselves if they do, in fact, yield the promised results. It is the truth towards which the words in the Canon point that ultimately matters, not the words themselves. Although academics will undoubtedly continue to speculate about the authorship of passages from the Canon for years to come (and thus miss the point of these teachings entirely), the Canon will quietly continue to serve -- as it has for centuries -- as an indispensible guide for millions of followers in their quest for Awakening.
Many students of Theravada find that learning the Pali language -- even just a little bit here and there -- greatly deepens their practical understanding of the Buddha's teachings.
What follows is a brief synopsis of some of the key teachings of Theravada Buddhism. I've left out a great deal, but I hope that even this rough outline will be enough to get you started in your exploration.
Shortly after his Awakening, the Buddha ("the Awakened One") delivered his first sermon, in which he laid out the essential framework upon which all his later teachings were based. This framework consists of the Four Noble Truths, four fundamental principles of nature (Dhamma) that emerged from the Buddha's honest and penetrating assessment of the human condition and that serve to define the entire scope of Buddhist practice. These truths are not statements of belief. Rather, they are categories by which we can frame our direct experience in a way that is conducive to Awakening:
1. Dukkha: suffering, unsatisfactoriness, discontent, stress;
2. The cause of dukkha: the cause of this dissatisfaction is craving (tanha) for sensuality, for states of becoming, and states of no becoming;
3. The cessation of dukkha: the relinquishment of that craving;
4. The path of practice leading to the cessation of dukkha: the Noble Eightfold Path of right view, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.
To each of these Noble Truths the Buddha assigned a specific task which the practitioner is to carry out: the first Noble Truth is to be comprehended; the second is to be abandoned; the third is to be realized; the fourth is to be developed. The full realization of the third Noble Truth paves the way for the direct penetration of Nibbana (Sanskrit: Nirvana), the transcendent freedom that stands as the final goal of all the Buddha's teachings.
The last of the Noble Truths -- the Noble Eightfold Path -- contains a prescription for the relief of our unhappiness and for our eventual release, once and for all, from the painful and wearisome cycle of birth and death (samsara) to which, thanks to our own ignorance (avijja) of the Four Noble Truths, we have been bound for countless aeons. The Noble Eightfold Path offers a comprehensive practical guide to the development of those wholesome qualities and skills in the human heart that must be cultivated in order to bring the practitioner to the final goal, the supreme freedom and happiness of Nibbana. In practice, the Buddha taught the Noble Eightfold Path to his followers according to a "gradual" system of training, beginning with the development of sila, or virtue (right speech, right action, and right livelihood, which are summarized in practical form by the five precepts), followed by the development of samadhi, or concentration and mental cultivation (right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration), culminating in the full development of pañña, or wisdom (right view and right resolve). The practice of dana (generosity) serves as a support at every step along the path, as it can help erode the heart's habitual tendencies towards craving and as it can teach valuable lessons about the causes and results of one's actions (kamma).
Progress along the path does not follow a simple linear trajectory. Rather, development of each aspect of the Noble Eightfold Path encourages the refinement and strengthening of the others, leading the practitioner ever forward in an upward spiral of spiritual maturity that culminates in Awakening.
Seen from another point of view, the long journey on the path to Awakening begins in earnest with the first tentative stirrings of right view, the first flickerings of wisdom by which one recognizes both the validity of the first Noble Truth and the inevitability of the law of kamma (Sanskrit: karma), the universal law of cause and effect. Once one begins to see that harmful actions inevitably bring about harmful results, and wholesome actions ultimately bring about wholesome results, the desire naturally grows to live a skillful, morally upright life, to take seriously the practice of sila. The confidence built from this preliminary understanding inclines the follower to place an even greater trust in the teachings. The follower becomes a "Buddhist" upon expressing an inner resolve to "take refuge" in the Triple Gem: the Buddha (both the historical Buddha and one's own innate potential for Awakening), the Dhamma (both the teachings of the historical Buddha and the ultimate Truth towards which they point), and the Sangha (both the monastic community that has protected the teachings and put them into practice since the Buddha's day, and all those who have achieved at least some degree of Awakening). With one's feet thus firmly planted on the ground by taking refuge, and with the help of an admirable friend (kalyanamitta) to help show the way, one can set out along the Path, confident that one is indeed following in the footsteps left by the Buddha himself.
Buddhism is sometimes naïvely criticized as a "negative" or "pessimistic" religion and philosophy. After all (so the argument goes) life is not all misery and disappointment: it offers many kinds of joy and happiness. Why then this pessimistic Buddhist obsession with unsatisfactoriness and suffering? The Buddha based his teachings on a frank assessment of our plight as humans: there is unsatisfactoriness and suffering in the world. No one can argue this fact. Were the Buddha's teachings to stop there, we might indeed regard them as pessimistic and life as utterly hopeless. But, like a doctor who prescribes a remedy for an illness, the Buddha offers hope (the third Noble Truth) and a cure (the fourth). The Buddha's teachings thus give cause for an extraordinary degree of optimism in a complex, confusing, and difficult world. One modern teacher summed it up well: "Buddhism is the serious pursuit of happiness."
The Buddha claimed that the Awakening he re-discovered is accessible to anyone willing to put forth the effort and commitment required to pursue the Noble Eightfold Path to its end. It is up to each of us individually to put that claim to the test.
Until the late 19th century, the teachings of Theravada were little known outside of Southern and Southeast Asia, where they had flourished for some two and one-half millennia. In the last century, however, the West has begun to take notice of Theravada's unique spiritual legacy and teachings of Awakening. In recent decades, this interest has swelled, with the monastic Sangha from the various schools within Theravada establishing dozens of monasteries across Europe and North America. In addition, a growing number of lay meditation centers in the West, operating independently of the Sangha, currently strain to meet the demands of lay men and women -- Buddhist and otherwise -- seeking to learn selected aspects of the Buddha's teachings.
The turn of the 21st century presents both opportunities and dangers for Theravada in the West: Will the Buddha's teachings be patiently studied and put into practice, so that they may be allowed to establish deep roots in Western soil, for the benefit of many generations to come? Will the current popular climate of "openness" and cross-fertilization between spiritual traditions lead to the emergence of a strong new form of Buddhist practice unique to the modern era, or will it simply lead to the dilution and confusion of these priceless teachings? These are open questions; only time will tell.
Fortunately, the Buddha left us with some very clear guidelines to help us find our way through the perplexing maze of purportedly "Buddhist" teachings that are available to us today. Whenever you find yourself questioning the authenticity of a particular teaching, heed well the Buddha's advice to his stepmother:
The qualities of which you may know, 'These qualities lead to passion, not to dispassion; to being fettered, not to being unfettered; to accumulating, not to shedding; to self-aggrandizement, not to modesty; to discontent, not to contentment; to entanglement, not to seclusion; to laziness, not to aroused persistence; to being burdensome, not to being unburdensome': You may definitely hold, 'This is not the Dhamma, this is not the Vinaya, this is not the Teacher's instruction.'
As for the qualities of which you may know, 'These qualities lead to dispassion, not to passion; to being unfettered, not to being fettered; to shedding, not to accumulating; to modesty, not to self-aggrandizement; to contentment, not to discontent; to seclusion, not to entanglement; to aroused persistence, not to laziness; to being unburdensome, not to being burdensome': You may definitely hold, 'This is the Dhamma, this is the Vinaya, this is the Teacher's instruction.'
-- AN VIII.53
The truest test of these teachings, of course, is whether they yield the promised results in the crucible of your own heart. The Buddha simply presents a challenge; the rest is up to you.

پدیدهی کرونا و پرسشگری فلسفی
جدا از واکنش های اضطراری به یک بحران، آنچه در رویارویی با بحران و عوارض آن، به ویژه در درازمدت، نقش تعیین کننده دارد پرسشگری از جوانب گوناگون پدیده است. بخشی از این پرسشگری بی درنگ و متأثر از برخورد با نخستین ضربه های موج بحران پدید می آید و بخشی به گونه ای فعالانه تر برآمده از درنگ و تأمل اندیشه ورزان عرصه های متفاوت دانش است. هرچه پرسش های طرح شده از گستردگی و عمق بیشتری برخوردار باشند، پژوهش ها، تحلیل ها، پیش بینی ها و تجویزهای دقیق تر و راهگشاتری برای رویارویی با پیامدهای رخداد کنونی و پدیده های مشابه در آینده حاصل خواهد شد. البته خود پرسشگری پیرامون یک پدیدهی چندوجهی و در جریان، باید چونان رویدادی نگریسته شود که به فراخور گسترش ابعاد بحران و پیچیده تر شدن مسائل برآمده از آن، نیازمند سنجش و بازنگری است. با این مقدمه می کوشم در حد توان، پرسش های فلسفی معطوف به پدیدهی "کرونا" و پیامدهای آن را به منظور حرکت به سوی اندیشه ورزی های جمعی در حوزهی دانش فلسفی برشمارم :
1- پدیدهی کرونا چگونه بر پرسش از "معنا" در زندگی تأثیر می گذارد؟

14- اگر پدیده ای همچون کرونا و بحران برآمده از آن را، با ابعاد فراگیر و جهانی، چونان آزمونی برای ارزیابی نظام های معرفتی در نظر بگیریم، برداشت نسبی گرا و هم ارز نگر در قبال نظام های معرفتی متفاوت چه پیامدهایی می تواند برای مواجهه با این پدیده و مدیریت بحران داشته باشد؟
15- رویداد "سرایت" و لزوم فاصله گیری در جامعه از یک سو، و احساس نیاز به بودن- با و نیاز به یاری دیگران در برابر بیماری در پدیدهی کرونا، از سوی دیگر، چه بصیرتی را بر بحث "دیگری" در فلسفه خواهد افزود؟
16- پدیدهی کرونا و بحران برآمده از آن چگونه زمینهی انضمامی لازم برای طرح دوبارهی بحث نسبت نظر و عمل را ایجاد کرده است؟
17- رأی به تکرارناپذیری پدیده ها چه پیامدی برای تأمل فلسفی دربارهی پدیدهی کرونا و پیش بینی جهان پس از آن می تواند داشته باشد؟

22- پدیدهی کرونا چه کاستی هایی را در آموزش و پژوهش آکادمیک فلسفه برجسته کرده است؟
23- برآیند کنشگری هنری در جریان رویارویی با پدیدهی کرونا، چنان که در روزهای دشوار قرنطینه در سطح جهان مشاهده می شد، چه تأثیری بر ارزیابی نظریه های متفاوت فلسفهی هنر همچون بازنمایی، بیانگری، فرمالیسم، تجربهی زیبایی شناختی و هنر متعهد خواهد داشت؟
24- هرمنوتیک فلسفی چگونه به فهم پدیدهی کرونا یاری می رساند و می تواند بر فرایند رویارویی با آن تأثیر بگذارد؟
25- تجربهی یک بحران فراگیر در سطح جهانی چه پیامدهایی برای فلسفهی دین خواهد داشت؟
26- دوگانه سازی های دیرپای سنت های زبانی- فلسفی چگونه در رویکردهای نظری به پدیدهی کرونا و رویارویی عملی با آن بروز یافته است و چه پیامدهایی می تواند داشته باشد؟
27- برخی از فیلسوفان زبان همهی مسائل فلسفه را در واقع صرفاً سوء تعبیرهای زبانی می انگارند؛ مسائل فلسفی برآمده از رویارویی با پدیدهی کرونا چه نسبتی با چنان نگرشی می تواند داشته باشد؟
28- با توجه به تجربهی روند شناسایی "حقایق" دربارهی جوانب گوناگون پدیدهی کرونا، "بیناذهنیت" در شناخت شناسی متأثر از این پدیده چه جایگاهی یافته است؟
29- با ملاحظهی در هم تنیدگی وجه طبیعی و وجه اجتماعی- فرهنگی پدیدهی کرونا، میان "علیت" و "عاملیت" در این پدیده چه نسبتی برقرار است و تضمنات روش شناختی این نسبت برای رهیافت فلسفی چه خواهد بود؟
30- استلزامات فلسفی سخن از "امید" در وضعیت رویارویی جهانی با پدیدهی کرونا- با ملاحظهی پیامدهای احتمالی این وضعیت- چیست؟

İkili sabah erkenden sınav için yola koyuldu.Bu sırada Mira Erthyo'ya seçimleri anlatıyordu.
''Seçimler hem turnuva olarak hem de sınav.2 etkinliğin birleşimi.Zamanında Tüccar Ülkesinde yıllık turnuva yapılırdı fakat bu turnuvayı yapan kişiler Pylos Yükseliş Akadamisi açılınca iki etkinliği birleştirdi.Ancak Turnuvadan alıcağın ödülleri sadece 2.aşamada belirli sıralara gelirsen alabiliyorsun.''(Mira)
''Turnuvada kaç aşama var. ? ''(Erthyo)
''ilk aşama en kolayı sadece seviyeni ölçüyorlar.İkinci aşama turnuva 1e1 ancak en zoru son aşama oda Yarış.Farklı bir boyuta gidiyorsun ve o boyutta her yıl değişen alanlarda birbirimizle yarışıyoruz .Ayriyetten orda fırsatlarda olacak .O alandan bulduğumuz herşey bizim olucak.''(Mira)
''Sahip bu fırsatı kullan.Sana hazineler için yardım edebilirim.''(Küçük Beyaz)
''O zaman şimdiden teşekkürler.'' Kafasını okşamaya başladı.
''Hehe..''
''Oh,Doğru .Sahip saçlarını topla.'' Erthyo yeni dünyaya geldiğinden beri aksiyonlardan ve eğitimden dolayı saçını kesememişti ve saçı omuzlarına geliyordu.
Erthyo saçlarını eliyle topladığında Küçük Beyaz sürünerek Erthyo'nun kafasına geldi aynı zamanda giderek küçülüyordu.Kuyruğunu toplanmış saçına bağladı ve kafasını alnındaki saçlara getirdi .Böylelikle beyaz bir saç teli gibi gözüküyordu.
''Güzelmiş.Nasıl Oldu.''(Erthyo)
''Hoş duruyor .''(Mira)
İkili konuşma sırasında sınav alanına varmışlardı.Alan büyüktü neredeyse 200.000 kişiden fazlasını alacak kadar büyüktü.Bütün oturma yerleri bir diğerinden 1-1.5 baş yüksekteydi.Alanın ortasında 5 savaş alanı vardı.Savaş alanlarından 4 tanesi önde ve küçüktü.Bir tanesi diğerlerine nazaran büyüktü ve 4'ünün arkasında duruyordu.
Büyük savaş alanında bir adam vardı.Orta yaşlıydı ve saçlar beyazlaşmaya başlamıştı.Önünde bir kutu vardı ve kutuda çubuklar vardı.diğer tarafındada devasa bir taş stün vardı.
Bir süre sonra adam aniden konuşmaya başladı.
''Herkes burada olduğuna göre sınava başlayalım.Tüm katılıcılar önce gelip taşa manasını yönlendirecek gereklü koşulları karşılayanlar kutudan bir çubuk alıcak .Gerekli koşulları karşılayamanlar kutuya yönelmeyi düşünmesin bile.Sonra 1'e 1 turnuva yapılacak bu turnuvadan ilk 5000 kişi diğer tura geçecek ve üst sıralara oturanlar akademinin belirlediği ödülleri alıcak.Son tur ise Yarış.Buradaki portala girip yarışa başlayacaksınız.Yarış'ı en erken bitiren 1000 kişi alınacak.''
O sırada yan taraftaki portalı gösteriyordu.Portal etraftaki havayı çarpıtıyordu.
''Turnuva sırasında birbirinizi öldürmek,sakatlamak,hayati yara bırakmak yasak.''
Sonra ilk kişi yukarı çıktı ve elini uzatarak taşa manasını aktardı.
[Tund Burru-18 yaşında-40 seviye-3 element-Ateş-Toprak-Hava-]
Bir sonrakilerde sürekli böyle devam etmeye başladı Sıra Miraya geldiğinde Mira taşa gitti ve elini uzattı.
[Mira-17 Yaşına-70 seviye-3 element-Ateş-Su-Işık]
Huo
Etrafta bir gürültü koptu.Şuana kadar gelen tüm katılımcıların level 40-45 level arasıydı .Bunlara asillerde dahil fakat ilk defa 70 level görünüyordu.Erthyo bile şaşırmıştı.Kendisi biraz yardım almasaydı en fazla 40'a gelebilirdi belkide 45 fakat Mira 70 seviyeydi.
Mira yanına gelince hemen sordu.
''Şuana kadarki asiller bile 40-45 seviyeydi sen nasıl 70 level oldun .? ''(Erthyo)
''Asiller akademiye gireseye kadar yönetim,ticaret,ordu yönetimi gibi şeyler öğretilir.Fakat benim krallığımda işler farklı,Kral her zaman kahraman olur .Bu yüzden benim böyle şeyler öğrenmeme gerek yok . Gizlice seviyemi yükselttim.Babam bile seviyemi bilmiyor .''(Mira)
Bir süre sonra Erthyo'nun sırası geldi.Taşın önüne geçip elini koydu ve manasını içine yönlendirdi.
[Erthyo-17 Yaşında-49 seviye-4 element-Ateş-Hava-Yıldırım-Karanlık]
Erthyo Asura Alevlerini yükseltmek için Zehir ormanına tekrar gitmişti.Orada bir Gorille yendiği zaman görilin 2 elementli olduğunu görmüştü.Karanlık ve Zehir .Normalde sadece Zehir kısmını özümseyip bırakıcaktı fakat Jenny Karanlığıda özümsememesi gerektiği böylelikle Katananın içindeki Ruh'un uyanacağını söylemişti.Böylelikle Katanada saklı birkaç özellikde açılacaktı.
Erthyo'da özümsediğinde Karanlık elementini kazandı ve Katananın birkaç özelliği açıldı.Fakat şuan kullanabileceği tek şey Dönüşüm.O da diğer parçasını bulursa diğer silahlara dönüştürebilmesi için bir özellikti.
Yandan bir çubuk çekti.
''4 element !! Şuana kadarki tek 4 element.''
''Normalde en fazla 3 elemente yatkınlığın olur.Başka bir element yatkınlığı kazanabilmek için 50.seviye olman gerekmiyor mu ? Nasıl 4 elementi olmuş ?''
''Belkide doğuştan 4 elementlidir.50.seviye olunca 5. elementide olabilir .Eğer bunların hepsini düzgün kullanıp geliştirebilirse geleceği çok parlak.''
Etrafta bir tantana koptu.Herkesin dediği gibi normal kişiler için 50.seviyede yeni elementler olabilir fakat Erthyo'da durum farklı .Onda Arz'ın hatıralarında kalmış Obur Özümseyici yeteneği var
Obur Özümseyici yeteneği ilk hafıza parçaları geldiğinde Boyut Kesen Sonik Kesiş yeteneği ile öğrendiği bir yetenekti.Olan olaylar yüzünden kullanmayı unutmuştu fakat Zehir ormanına girmeden önce yeteneklerine baktığında bu yeteneğide görmüştü.Yetenek her enerjiyi %100 emmesine ve yeni bir element edinmesini sağlıyordu.
180 numaralı sayıyı çekmişti.Bir süre sonra daha fazla katılımcı yukarı çıkmadı.Orta yaşlı adam bunu görünce taşı kaldırdı.
''Şimdi turnuvaya geçiyoruz.Turnuva 1e1 olacak.Size verilen numaralar anons edildiğinde gelin.''
''Numara 1''
Numara 1 anons edilince 1.alana 2 kişi çıktı.Çıkanlardan bir tanesi normal görünümlü bir gençti hiçbir çarpıcı özelliği yoktu.Fakat diğerinde göze çarpan bir özellik vardı.Teni sarıydı ve çizgiliydi.Evet! Çizgili.Haritadaki kıtalar gibi teninde çizgiler vardı ve ayrılıyordu.Elleri ise hafif griydi.
''Sahip bu Taş Yumruk,Yeryüzü beden tekniği.Orta seviye Toprak özellikli bir yetenektir.Kişinin yumruklarını taş kadar sert,bedeninin yeryüzü gibi sağlam yapar.Eğer bunu geliştirebilirse Yüksek seviye Toprak Özellikli bir yeteneğe evrilir.''(Küçük Beyaz)
''Demek öyle.Ancak çok doğal duruyor bedenine mi işlenmiş yetenek ? ''(Erthyo)
''Bedenine dövmeler yapılarak çalışılan bir yetenektir.Dövmeleri kazıman gerekiyor.Acılı bir süreçtir.''
Sarı bedenli genç kazanmıştı.Sıra sıra insanlar gidiyordu.Bir süre sonra sıra kendine geldi.
''180 Numara''
Sahneye çıktığında karşısındaki rakibe baktı.Rakibi Siyah giysili ve siyah kapuşonlu bir erkekti.Kapuşonunun altından baktığında bir yılanın kendine bakması gibi bir his veriyordu.Etrafında yeşil bir aura vardı.
''Bu genç Irkını değiştirmiş.Yarı-yılan! Ancak sadece Zehir özelliğini geliştirmiş.Esneklik,hız gibi şeylere dokunmamış.Sahip bu kişinin zehri seni alevlerin için çok yaralı olucak.''(Küçük Beyaz)
''Başla''
Savaş başlamıştı ve ilk saldıran Yarı-yılan genç oldu.Kendisi yumruklarıyla dövüşüyordu.Küçük Beyazın dediği gibi hızlı değildi.Seviye 49 olduktan sonra Erthyo'nun hızı 40 olmuştu.Eğer onu atlatmak istese bunu kolaylıkla yapabilirdi.Ancak dediği gibi alevi için yararlı bir zehir olduğu için kendine gelen saldırıları son anda atlatıyordu.
Özümseme tekniğini sadece elleri ile kullanabiliyordu fakat oda anında bütün enerjiyi emiyordu.Eğer bir insanın üstünde kullanırsa nasıl bir etkisi olacağını bilmediği için kullanmamayı tercih etti.
Vhosss!
Küresinin içindeki Asura Alevleri harlanmaya başladı ve içindeki yeşil rengi daha zenginleşiyor ve daha koyulaşıyordu.
Bir süre daha yumruklardan kaçtıktan sonra Alevleri hareketlenmeyi kesti.''Bitti sanırım.''
Yarı-yılan gencın alnında boncuk boncuk terler oluşmaya başlamıştı.Derin nefesler alıp veriyordu.
''Hadi başlayalım.''
Belinde asılı katanayı tuttu.Katana tersti.Eğer düz bir şekilde tutarsa anlık çekmesi yüzünden karşısındakini öldürmesede ağır yararldı fakat ağır yaralamak yasaktı.
Shinn!Tok!
Anlık bir çekişle katananın ters tarafı gencin kaburgasına çarptı ve genci yana uçurtu.Genç 3 metre sonra anca durabildi.
Erthyo saldırılarını durdurmadan hızlıca saldırdı ve sağ kaburgasından bir daha vurdu.
Genç bunu görünce daha fazla beklemede kalmadı ve Zehiri manipüle ederek önünde yeşil bir kalkan oluşturdu.Kılıç kalkana çarpınca hızlıca kalktı ve yumruğunu Erthyo'ya doğru savurdu.
Hızlı ve esnek olmayabilirdi fakat zehir kullanmada ve güç savaşında iyiydi.Tüm statlarının 3/1'ini saldırıya vermişti.
Erthyo geri adım atarak saldırıyı ıskalattı ve bir açık aradı.O anda bir açık gördü.Genç saldırırken boğazını boşta bırakıyordu.Aynı zamanda derin nefes alıyordu.Yani boğazına saldırırsa anlık nefes kaybıyla kazanabilirdi.
Bir yumruk daha atlattıktan sonra sağ tarafa geçti.Kılıcın ters çevirip kabzası ile rakibinin boğazı ve göğüs kafesinin üst kısmının arasındaki boşluğa vurdu.
Buraya vurunca gencin gözü karardı ve geri sendeli.Erthyo hızlıca göğsüne bir tekme attı ve rakibini sahadan düşürdü.
''Yeni sayı çek.''
Sahneden inmeden bır sayı daha çekti:50
Eski yerine geçince Mira'yı göremedi.Mira şuan 5. sahnede savaşıyordu.Karşısındakini bastırdığı çok açıktı.
''Yeneceği kesin .2. tura bir saat var.Küçük Beyaz ne yapmak istersin .''(Erthyo)
''Sahip bana biraz izin verir misin ?''(Küçük Beyaz)
''Tabi ki fakat neden ?''(Erthyo)
''Kötü çocukları cezalandırmalıyım.'' Bunu söylerken sesi öyle soğuktuki.Erthyo havanın aniden mutlak sıfıra düştüğünü zannetti.( –273,15 °Celsius)
''Pekala fazla üstlerine gitme .''(Erthyo)
''Tamam ''
Dedikten sonra aniden ortadan kayboldu.
Erthyo'da Mirayı izlemeye devam etti.
Mira karşısındaki kişiyi kılıcı ile değil.Yumrukları ile bastırıyordu.Çalıştığı Yumuşak-Sert Kılıç tekniğini Yumruklarına yansıtıyordu.Bunu yeni öğrendiği belliydi.Enerji düzensizdi,karşısındaki kişiyi bileme taşı olarak kullanıyordu.
Karşısındaki genç'te birşeyler anlamış gibi direkt yumruk yumruğa saldırmıyordu.Hızını kullanarak yumrukları atlatıp kendi saldırıyordu fakat faydasız olduğu çok belliydi.Mira tarafından sahnenin köşesine itilmişti.
Mira bir dalga oluşturup gencin soluna doğru yolladı.Sağ tarafına ise ışıktan oluşmuş küçük noktalar halinde ışınlar yolluyordu.Böylelikle genci hızını kullanmadan mahrum bıraktı.
Doğrudan suratına doğru yumruk attı.Adamda başka çaresi kalmayınca yumruğuna yumruk ile karşılık verdi .
Çat!
Bir çatlama sesi ile genç geri uçtu ve sahneden düştü.Eli kırıldığı belliydi.
Mira yeni bir sayı çekip sahneden indi.
''Tebrikler.''(Erthyo)
''Teşekkürler.''(Mira)
İkilinin bir saatleri vardı ve bu bir saati Manalarını yenilemeye ve yorgunluklarını gidermeye çalıştırlar .
...
Bir dağın üstünde Küçük Beyaz tek başına duruyordu.Kuyruğunu sallamasıyla beraber etrafına bir bariyer yerleştirdi.Sonra ağzını açtı ve bariyerin içindeki tüm manayı ve havayı emdi.
''Eğer burada ortaya çıkarsak dünya aniden evrilmeye başlar .Bu yüzden arındırılmış bir ortam yaratmam gerek biraz daha bekle sonra konuşacağız.'' Sonra bir parıltıyla insan şekline dönüştü.
Bembeyaz saçları beline doğru uzanıyordu.Pulları gibi tek bir farklı renk yoktu,Saf beyazdı.Ayın parlaklığı gibi güzel ve büyüleyiciydi.Gözleri gece karanlığı gibi siyahtı.Yüzünde tek bir makyaj yoktu fakat doğal güzelliği bile Amy ve Mia kardeşlerden aşağı kalır değildi.İnce beli,bacakları ve göz alıcı kadınsı bölgeleride işin içine katıldığı zaman doğal bir tanrıça gibiydi.
Ancak bu kadar güzel görünüşüne tamamen ayrı soğuk bir sesi vardı.Tamamen öfke kaplı bir sesti,öldürme niyeti doluydu.Sakin bir görünüşle konuştu.
''Ortaya çıkın.''
Belinde beyaz bir parlaklıkla bir sürü kız önünde belirdi.İçlerinde bir grup erkekde vardı.Çoğunluk arkada duruyordu.Önlerde ise 5 kişi vardı.4 kız 1 erkek vardı.
''Dediğinizi tekrar edin.''Önündeki 5'li den 1'i hariç diğer herkese bakar konuştu.O kişide daha insan haline dönmemiş Valeria idi.Dönemiyor demek daha doğru olurdu.Bir yaratık belli seviyeye gelmeden insan formuna dönemezdi.
''Usta o insanı neden takip ettiğinizi anlamıyorum.Küçük bir dünyanın önemsiz bir insanı.'' Bu kişi 4 kişi arasından en büyü görünen kızdı.
''Evet Usta.Neden aniden onu takip etmeye başladınız ? O kişi sizin onu takip etmenize,hatta bakmanıza bile layık olmayan önemsiz biri.''Bu sefer konuşan Üç kızın arasından ortada duran kızdı.
''Onu öldürmek istesem nefes almam bile yetecek bir insana neden bu kadar taktığınızı anlamıyorum usta.Eğer bu kadar birini takip etmek istiyorsanız bu öğrenciniz öne çıkmaya razı.''4 kızın arasındaki tek erkek konuşmuştu.Hatta gözlerindeki şehveti gizlememişti bile.
''Evet Kidemli Kardeş Summ buna tamamen layık.Ö çöp bile olamıyacak insan yerine onu takip etmeniz daha iyi olur.''
''Katılıyorum.Kidemli Kardeş Summ o pireden daha layık bu duruma .''
Adam konuyu ortaya atınca arkadaki erkekler onu desteklemeye başladı.
''Sende mi öyle düşünüyorsun.''Baktığı kişi 3 kızın arasındaki en solda olandı.
''Hayır Usta .Öğrenciniz siz ne yaparsa yapsın kabul edicek.''
''Güzel.''
''Anladım.O insan bozuntusu sizi kendine bağlıyacak bir avantajı var yada üst dünyaların bir tanesinden büyü aldı.Bu öğrenci şimdi gidip onu öldürecek.Böylelikle büyüden kurtulabilesiniz.''Aslında sadece Erthyo'yu öldürmek için bir bahane yaratıyordu.
''Seninle gelicem.''
''Bende.''
Diğer iki kızda olaya katıldı ve onlar katılınca arkadaki erkek grubuda katıldı.Fakat kızlar laf etmedi .Onların tarafında değilde 3. kızın dediği gibi Ustasının dediği herşeye uyacak tarafta oldukları belliydi.
Neredeyse bariyerden çıkacaklardıki bir baskı giden grubu bastırdı.Gruptaki herkes dizlerinin üstüne çöktü.
''Usta siz..''
''Büyü mü ? Avantaj mı ? Bunlar sadece pis duygularına bir kılıf.''Bir anda Erkeğin önünde belirdi ve boğazını tuttu.
''O küçük dediğiniz kişi sizi öldürmemi isterse hiç gözümü kırpmam hepinizi öldürürüm.''Gruba doğru konuştu.
Sonra Erkeğe döndü.
''Summ değil sen,Senin baban,hatta Atan bile onu takip etmeme layık değil.Sırf baban yüzünden sana dokunamadığımı mı sanıyorsun .Sana şunu diyeyim.Baban bi 1 milyon yıl bile çalışsa o yere parmağını dahi uzatamaz fakat ben oraya yıllar önce girmek için gerekliliği kazandım.''
Yüzünü yakınlaştırdı ve kısık gözleriyle Summ'un gözlerine baktı.
''Seni yanımda bulundurma nedenim yetenekli olmandı fakat az önce yapmaman gereken en büyük hatayı yaptın.''
Bir an sonra Summ taşa dönüştü ve el sallamasıyla beraber ruhu,bedeni,mana ruhu yok oldu.Geriye hiçbir şey kalmadı.Erkeklerin olduğu kısma döndü ve onlarda aynı şekilde yok oldu.Geriye sadece 2 kız kalmıştı.
''Siz..''
''Usta büyük bir hata yaptık .Lütfen hatamızı affet.'' Kafalarını yere vuruyorlardı.Dağ titremeye başladı.Yarısı göçmüştü bile.
''Kaynaklarınızdan kesilip 2 yıl kırbaç-'' Aklına Erthyo'nun dediği laf geldi ''Fazla üstülerine gitme ''
''Bu seferlik affediyorum sizi fakat bir kere daha böyle bir konuyu açarsanız az öncekilerle aynı sonu yaşarsınız.''
''Teşekürler Usta '' Titreyen sesleriyle kafalarını yerden kaldırmadan konuşmaya devam ettiler.
''Gidelim.'' Bir parıltıyla eski yılan haline döndü ve öğrencilerinide alıp turnuva alanına doğru yola çıktı.
Bir sonraki an Erthyo'nun kafasında eski halinde belirdi.Erthyo'da o sırada 2.maçını bitirmiş ve kazanmıştı.
Erthyo Küçük Beyazın kaşlarını çattığını görüyordu.Kötü bir olay yaşadığı belliydi.Hiçbirşey demeden kafasını okşamaya başladı.
Küçük Beyaz kafasını Erthyo'nun saçına gömüp nezaketini hissetmeye devam etti.
''18 Numara.'' Yeni maç zamanı gelmişti

This Date in Native History: On May 21, 1758, Delaware Indians kidnapped a child named Mary Campbell from her home in western Pennsylvania and held her captive during the French and Indian War.
By some accounts, Campbell was 10 at the time of her abduction, while other sources claim she was 12. She likely lived with the Delaware (also known as the Lenape) in what is now Summit County, Ohio, for about six years, said Michael Cohill, a historian in Akron, Ohio. She was repatriated in 1764 during the famous release of captives at the conclusion of Pontiac’s War.
Campbell, known as the first white child on the Western Reserve, was one of several known abductees captured during the war, Cohill said. Often, white women or children were taken to replace Natives killed in the conflicts over frontier land.
“If someone came into your city and killed a couple of your children, then your husband would go out and attack a village of white people and take their women, take their children,” Cohill said. “If you kill my children, I’m going to take yours as my own and raise them.”
The abduction probably was traumatic, Cohill said. Captives were transported from their homes to Native villages that sometimes were great distances away. Some captives died during the journey while others—those who did not cooperate—were killed.
Those who survived quickly assimilated to Native life, Cohill said.
“If you lived through the capture and traveling, you would do everything you needed to do to decide you belonged with these people and not make any attempt to leave,” he said. “If you did not cooperate with your captors, they killed you.”
Records of Campbell’s abduction reveal that her family went to great lengths to bring her home. A notice printed in October 1764 in The Pennsylvania Gazette describes Campbell as a child of 10 with red hair and freckles.
In the notice, Campbell’s father “begs that she may, by all good people, be helped on her way to him, as he, and her aged mother are very desirous of seeing her.”
Kidnappings like Campbell’s came after the tribe lost almost 90 percent of its people to war and disease, said Michael Pace, an artist in residence at Conner Prairie, a living history museum in central Indiana. After an outbreak of German measles reduced the tribe to 3,000 members, the Delaware sought white women and children to help replenish its dwindling numbers.
Yet many captives, including Campbell, discovered that life among the Natives was better than what they left behind, said Pace, a former assistant chief for the Delaware Tribe of Indians.
“People were treated better in the tribe than they were in white society—especially women,” he said. “They were raised in a matrilineal society, where they had rights and were treated better.”
Once removed from the male-dominated white society, women did well among the Natives, Pace said. Abductees who were rescued from the tribes often ran away from home to rejoin their Native families.
“I’m sure there was a great deal of fear when people were abducted, but they began to realize they were treated well,” Pace said. “People cared about them, wanted them to learn how to live this life. Their ideals changed.”
For Campbell, life among the Delaware probably was “extraordinarily wonderful,” Cohill said. He believes Campbell, who was 16 or 18 when her captivity ended, was forcibly repatriated. He also believes Campbell married within the tribe and likely had children she left behind when she returned home.
By the end of Pontiac’s War, white people living in Ohio were there by choice, Cohill said. Some captives refused repatriation and did not return to their former homes.
“Those that didn’t go back, there was a reason for them not to return,” he said. “Usually they were married, were parents, and that meant they would never be accepted back into white society.”
After her repatriation, Campbell settled in Washington County, Pennsylvania. She married a white settler in 1770 and had seven children.
But Campbell never fully recovered from her capture—or her return, Cohill said.
“We do know that the taking was horrible, just as much as the return was horrible,” he said, calling Campbell’s adult life a “sad story.” He pointed to accounts recorded by Campbell’s children, who said their mother often retreated into the woods to cry.
“It was five to seven years later that she returned, so she was old enough to be married, to have children,” he said. “Being a woman in a Delaware tribe, she would have been at an exalted position. It was a matriarchal society and they took extraordinarily good care of their children.”
Campbell died in 1801, and was buried near her western Pennsylvania home.

Magnetic reconnection is the most fundamental energy-transfer mechanism in the universe that converts magnetic energy into heat and kinetic energy of charged particles. For reconnection to occur, the frozen-in condition must break down in a localized region, commonly called the ‘diffusion region’. In Earth’s magnetosphere, ion diffusion regions have already been observed, while electron diffusion regions have not been detected due to their small scales (of the order of a few km) (
In the last decade a New Geophysics has been proposed, whereby the crust and uppermost ~400 km of the mantle of the Earth are so pervaded by closely-spaced stress-aligned microcracks (intergranular films of hydrated melt in the mantle) that in situ rocks verge on failure by fracturing, and hence are critical-systems that impose a range of fundamentally-new properties on conventional sub-critical geophysics. Enough of these new properties have been observed to confirm that New Geophysics is a new understanding of fluid/rock deformation with important implications and applications. Evidence supporting New Geophysics has been published in a wide variety of publications. Here, for clarification, we summarise in one document the evidence supporting New Geophysics.
A map of the average atomic number of lunar rock and soil can be used to differentiate lithology and soil type on the lunar surface. This paper establishes a linear relationship between the average atomic number of lunar rock or soil and the flux of position annihilation radiation (0.512-MeV gamma-ray) from the lunar surface. The relationship is confirmed by Monte Carlo simulation with data from lunar rock or soil samples collected by Luna (Russia) and Apollo (USA) missions. A map of the average atomic number of the lunar rock and soil on the lunar surface has been derived from the Gamma-Ray Spectrometer data collected by Chang’e-1, an unmanned Chinese lunar-orbiting spacecraft. In the map, the higher average atomic numbers (ZA > 12.5), which are related to different types of basalt, are in the maria region; the highest ZA (13.2) readings are associated with Sinus Aestuum. The middle ZA (~12.1) regions, in the shape of irregular oval rings, are in West Oceanus Procellarum and Mare Frigoris, which seems to be consistent with the distribution of potassium, rare earth elements, and phosphorus as a unique feature on the lunar surface. The lower average atomic numbers (ZA < 11.5) are found to be correlated with the anorthosite on the far side of the Moon.
The X-discontinuity, which appears at the depth of approximately 300 km, is an important seismic interface with positive velocity contrasts in the upper mantle. Detecting its presence and topography can be useful to understand phase transformations of relevant mantle minerals under the high-temperature and high-pressure circumstance of the Earth's interior. In this study, we detect the X-discontinuity beneath the Ryukyu subduction zone using five intermediate-depth events recorded by the dense Alaska Regional Network (AK). The X-discontinuity is successfully revealed from the robust slant stacking of the secondary down-going and converting SdP phases. From the depth distribution of conversion points, we find that the X-discontinuity's depth ranges between 269 km and 313 km, with an average depth of 295 km. All the conversion points are located beneath the down-dipping side of the Philippine Sea slab. From energy comparisons in vespagrams for observed and synthetic seismograms, the strong converted energy is more likely from a thin high-velocity layer, and the S-wave velocity jumps across the X-discontinuity are up to 5% to 8% with an average of 6.0%. According to previous petrological and seismological studies, the X-discontinuity we detected can be interpreted as the phase transformation of coesite to stishovite in eclogitic materials within the oceanic crust.
Data obtained by GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) have been used to invert for the seismic source parameters of megathrust earthquakes under the assumption of either uniform slip over an entire fault or a point-like seismic source. Herein, we further extend the inversion of GRACE long-wavelength gravity changes to heterogeneous slip distributions during the 2011 Tohoku earthquake using three fault models: (I) a constant-strike and constant-dip fault, (II) a variable dip fault, and (III) a realistically varying strike fault. By removing the post-seismic signal from the time series, and taking the effect of ocean water redistribution into account, we invert for slip models I, II, and III using co-seismic gravity changes measured by GRACE, de-striped by DDK3 decorrelation filter. The total seismic moments of our slip models, with respective values of 4.9×1022 Nm, 5.1×1022 Nm, and 5.0×1022 Nm, are smaller than those obtained by other studies relying on GRACE data. The resulting centroids are also located at greater depths (20 km, 19.8 km, and 17.4 km, respectively). By combining onshore GPS, GPS-Acoustic, and GRACE data, we obtain a jointly inverted slip model with a seismic moment of 4.8×1022 Nm, which is larger than the seismic moment obtained using only the GPS displacements. We show that the slip inverted from low degree space-borne gravimetric data, which contains information at the ocean region, is affected by the strike of the arcuate trench. The space-borne gravimetric data help us constrain the source parameters of a megathrust earthquake within the frame of heterogeneous slip models.
The 13 November 2016 Kaikoura earthquake occurred in the northeastern coastal region of the South Island, New Zealand. The Mw 7.8 mainshock generated a complex pattern of surface ruptures, and was followed within about 12 hours by three moderate shocks of Mw ≥ 6.0. Here we use teleseismic waveforms to invert for the source rupture of the Kaikoura earthquake. The resulting slip-distribution model exhibits insignificant slip near the hypocenter and three pockets of major slip zones with distinct senses of motion. The mainshock started from a rupture near the hypocenter, grew into thrust on shallow crustal faults ~50 km northeast of the hypocenter, and then developed into two slip zones: a deeper one with oblique thrust and a shallower one with almost purely right-lateral strike-slip. Locations of the thrust and strike-slip motions in the slip-distribution model agree well with reported coastal uplifts and horizontal offsets. The overall slip pattern is dominated by horizontal motion, especially at shallow depth, due to the partitioning of thrust and strike-slip motions above the subduction zone megathrust. Aftershock distribution suggests that most aftershocks tend to occur near the edges of the major slip zones of the mainshock. This observation on aftershock locations may provide useful information for seismic hazard assessments after large earthquakes.
This study tested five methods widely used in estimating the complete magnitudes (MC) of earthquake catalogs. Using catalogs of observed earthquake properties, we test the performance of these five algorithms under several challenging conditions, such as small volume of events and spatial-temporal heterogeneity, in order to see whether the algorithms are stable and in agreement with known data. We find that the maximum curvature method (MAXC) has perfect stability, but will significantly underestimate MC unless heterogeneity is absent. MC estimated by the b-value stability method (MBS) requires many events to reach a stable result. Results from the goodness of fit method (GFT) were unstable when heterogeneity lowered the fitness level. The entire magnitude range method (EMR) is relatively stable in most conditions, and can reflect the change in MC when heterogeneity exists, but when the incomplete part of the earthquake catalog is dismissed, this method fails. The median-based analysis of the segment slope method (MBASS) can tolerate small sample size, but is incapable of reflecting the missing degree of small events in aftershock sequences. In conditions where MC changes rapidly, such as in aftershock sequences, observing the time sequence directly can give a precise estimation of the complete sub-catalog, but only when the number of events available for study is large enough can the MAXC, GFT, and MBS methods give a similarly reliable estimation.

Zelensky: la situazione nel Donbass resta molto difficile
La situazione nel Donbass "rimane molto difficile". Lo ha dichiarato il presidente ucraino, Volodymyr Zelensky, in un messaggio video. "Nell'ottantesimo giorno di invasione su vasta scala, ciò sembra particolarmente folle ma non stanno interrompendo i loro sforzi", ha aggiunto Zelensky.
Kiev: Mosca verso referendum per annessione Mariupol
Le forze d'occupazione russe starebbero preparando un referendum per sancire l'annessione di Mariupol alla Russia. Lo ha dichiarato all'Observer Petro Andryushchenko, un collaboratore di Vadim Boychenko, sindaco in esilio della città sul Mare d'Azov, dopo l'annuncio di una simile consultazione nell'Ossezia del Sud, territorio separatista georgiano. Quel che resta di Mariupol, devastata da settimane di bombardamenti, è controllata in larga parte dalle forze russe, salvo l'acciaieria Azovstal, dove ancora resistono circa duemila soldati ucraini. Secondo Andryushchenko, l'annuncio del referendum potrebbe arrivare già domani sebbene non ci siano ancora notizie sull'allestimento di cabine elettorali. "Abbiamo alcune informazioni sulle autorità russe che starebbero preparando un referendum e potrebbero addirittura indirlo domani ma non sappiamo ancora se è vero", ha detto Andryushchenko, "ma vediamo parecchia integrazione di Mariupol nel sistema russo, il sistema scolastico, il sistema bancario".
Telefonata Blinken-Stoltenberg: "Sostegno costante a Kiev"
Il segretario di Stato americano, Antony Blinken, ha avuto una conversazione telefonica con il segretario generale della Nato, Jens Stoltenberg. Lo comunica lo stesso Blinken su Twitter, affermando di aver discusso "del nostro costante sostegno all'Ucraina" e dei "preparativi per l'imminente summit di Madrid e il nuovo documento sullo Strategic Concept che guiderà la Nato per i prossimi dieci anni".
Eurovision, Zelensky invita a votare la band ucraina
"A breve alla finale dell'Eurovision l'Europa e il mondo intero ascolteranno le parole della nostra lingua. Io credo che, alla fine, questa parola sarà 'vittoria'. Europa, vota per i Kalush Orchestra". Il presidente ucraino Volodymyr Zelensky in un video su Telegram ha lanciato un appello per la finale dell'Eurovision Song Contest, in corso a Torino. "Sosteniamo i nostri connazionali, sosteniamo l'Ucraina", ha aggiunto.
Zelensky firma legge che vieta i partiti filo russi
Il presidente dell'Ucraina Volodymyr Zelensky ha firmato oggi la legge che vieta i partiti politici filo-russi. Si tratta di un provvedimento presentato al parlamento - la Verkhovna Rada - il 28 marzo, poi approvato dallo stesso parlamento il 3 maggio con 330 voti a favore. Il divieto entrerà in vigore il giorno successivo alla sua pubblicazione sugli organi ufficiali, scrive la Ukranska Pravda.
Mosca, colpiti due depositi munizioni con missili
Le forze russe riferiscono di aver colpito con missili di precisione "ventotto roccaforti delle forze armate ucraine e due depositi di munizioni nei pressi di Petrovske e Zhovtneve". Lo ha dichiarato il portavoce del ministero della Difesa russo, Igor Konashenkov.
Russia replica a Baerbock: "Crisi alimentare? Colpa delle sanzioni occidentali. Chi lo nega è stupido o in malafede'
La Russia ha negato ogni responsabilità per l'impennata dei prezzi dei generi alimentari e per il rischio di un aumento della fame globale, di cui l'ha accusata la ministra degli Esteri tedesca Annalena Baerbock.

Dünyanın en ünlü coğrafi mihenk taşlarından birisi olarak kabul edilen Ümit Burnu nerededir? Ümit Burnu hakkında bilgiler.
Afrika’nın güneybatısında, Capetown (Kap) şehri yakınlarında önemli bir burundur.
Ümit Burnu, 1488 yılında Portekizii gemici Bartolomeu Diaz tarafından bulundu. Diaz, Hindistan’a gitmek için kısa bir yol arıyordu; 1487’de, şiddetli fırtınalar gemisini güneye doğru sürükledi. Ünlü denizci, farkında olmadan Hint Okyanusu’na girmişti. Dönüşte, kıyıya sokuldu ve Afrika’nın en güney ucunu gördü. Karanlık, sağnaklı ve fırtınalı bir havada, korkunç dalgalar, gemiyi limon kabuğu gibi savuruyordu. Atlas Okyanusu ile Hint Okyanusu’nun en büyük dalgaları bu burnun açığında görüldü. Büyük bir korku içinde olan gemiciler, boyuna dua ediyor, şeytanlar ülkesine geldiklerini söylüyorlardı.
Diaz, bu buruna «Fırtınalar Burnu» adını verdi. Portekiz Kralı II. Juan sonra bu adı «Ümit Burnu»na çevirdi. Bugün de aynı adla tanındığı gibi dalgalarından dolayı «Fırtınalar Burnu» da denir.

Grout is commonly used when installing floor tiles and backsplashes. It fills in the spaces and helps to hold everything in place. Grout mix ratio refers to the amounts of grout and water to be combined. In order to achieve maximum performance it’s important to get the proper ratio. Mixing grout is not a difficult task. If you can make pancake batter then mixing grout will be a breeze.
Grout is like cement but should not be confused with concrete or mortar. Grouts are mainly composed of portland cements and fine sand. In the industry, portland cement is a common term used to describe various cements. Grouts come in various colors that accent flooring or backsplash choices.
Water plays a vital role in the bonding and hardening process. To activate, water is added according to the manufacturer's instructions. The addition of water causes the grout to set and harden. Too much water will weaken the grout strength. If too little water is added then the grout will be too thick. Grout needs to be fluid but not watery in order to fill the space between tiles in flooring or backsplashes. Use your water judiciously to give your mixture the required consistency.
When mixing grout, a common utility bucket should be sufficient for most projects. A trowel or low speed mixer can be used to attain a smooth paste-like consistency. The finished mixture should not be pourable. Use cool clean water to add to the grout. If more than one bag of grout will be used, then dry-blending the grout prior to adding water is recommended to provide color uniformity. Once mixed, the grout should be put down typically within 1 to 2 hours.
Grout mix ratio can vary widely. A satisfactory result can be accomplished by following the manufacturer's instructions. Since bond strength, color and performance are dependent upon the correct mix ratio, should you make a mistake such as adding too much water, the addition of grout can bring you back to the correct ratio. And if the mix is too thick, a little more water will get the ratio in order.

Society often views the cause of obesity as one primarily related to a lack of self-control and discipline, but this is not the case. Many scientific theories exist as to what causes obesity, and while it is most likely a disease with various contributing factors, studies show a strong association between obesity, lifestyle factors, and gut bacteria.
Obesity affects two-thirds of the population and has increased dramatically in the past few decades; more than one third of adults in the U.S. and almost one in five children are obese, and one third of the population worldwide is overweight. In addition to the incredible breadth of symptoms that accompany obesity, the disease makes you twice as likely to die and increases your chances of developing practically every digestive disease.
Although obesity is a serious disease no matter where fat is distributed, fat deposition is important in predicting the likelihood of developing certain diseases. Fat deposited around the abdominal region (or apple shaped) puts obese individuals at a much higher risk for developing metabolic syndrome (a deadly combination of risk factors, including high blood pressure, high fasting blood sugar, increased waist circumference, and elevated triglycerides, that dramatically increases your chances of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some types of cancer) than those with fat deposited in the hips and legs (or pear shaped).
Society often views the cause of obesity as one primarily related to a lack of self-control and discipline, but this is not the case. Many scientific theories exist as to what causes obesity, and while it is most likely a disease with various contributing factors, studies show a strong association between obesity, lifestyle factors, and gut bacteria. Treating obesity can be challenging, yet lifestyle interventions such as diet, exercise, and stress reduction can be incredibly effective.
Many of the symptoms and complications that accompany obesity are due to visceral fat (butter-colored bundles of fat that wrap around the abdominal organs and is most prevalent in obese individuals with an apple shape) accumulation in the abdomen.
Visceral fat is a complex tissue similar in function to other endocrine organs like the thyroid gland. In addition to affecting the function of the liver, pancreas, and other internal organs, visceral fat itself is hormonally active, producing estrogens, proteins, and other substances that can affect insulin levels, blood sugar, cholesterol, and even the reproductive system. Belly fat puts you at higher risk for elevated lipids (fats) in the blood, diabetes, breast cancer, colon cancer, gallbladder problems, high blood pressure, and lots of other health issues, likely related to these hormonally active substances it secretes.
The primary symptoms and conditions that are associated with obesity are many and include:
- Estrogen dominance (a hormone called androstenedione made in the ovaries is converted to estrogen by fat cells)
- Celiac disease
- Gallbladder dysfunction
- Cancer (including colon and ovarian cancers)
- Decreased libido
- Sleep apnea
- Sexual dysfunction
- Heart disease
- Liver disease
- Skin conditions
- Type 2 diabetes
- Metabolic syndrome
The following factors are the most common contributers to obesity:
- Eating processed foods high in fat, salt, and sugar (including artificial sweeteners)
- Lack of exercise
- Genetics & familial lifestyle similarities
- Sleep deprivation
- Hormone issues, including hypothyroidism and PCOS
Although these factors contribute to the disease, obesity rates have increased too rapidly to blame genetics as the main cause, and although a diet high in fat and sugar is partly responsible, it doesn’t account for the striking increase in body mass index observed in the world population over the last few decades.
Studies now show that maintaining a stable weight is much more complicated than calories in versus calories out; it’s what happens to those calories as they pass through the digestive tract and its gut bacteria that may explain the rapid increase in weight gain.
The following evidence is implication that gut bacteria play a major role in obesity:
Diet: The food you eat affects the composition of the bacterial communities in your gut—high-fat, low-fiber diets are associated with a very different microbial profile than low-fat, high-fiber diets—and that microbial composition can in turn influence whether or not you end up gaining weight. Although diet can contribute to obesity by encouraging an overabundance of calories, certain foods can promote pathogenic bacteria that also contribute to obesity. A sugary, starchy, fat-laden Western diet encourages growth of the wrong type of bacteria in your gut.
Processed grains, refined sugar, & animal fats and proteins: Cutting down on processed grains and refined sugar can affect our microbiome in a positive way, but replacing those foods with too much animal protein and fat can be problematic, because they may crowd out the dietary fibers that are an important component of a microbiome associated with leanness. Gutbliss experts see a plateau in weight loss in many patients who put themselves on restrictive low-carb diets or Paleo devotees who don’t eat enough vegetables, probably because they’re not cultivating the right microbes.
Microbial Imbalance & Dysbiosis: Some experts who study gut bacteria believe that dysbiosis contributes to many diseases, including obesity. Interestingly, lean people are typically colonized with different bacterial species relative to their obese counterparts. In fact, we can distinguish between leanness and obesity with 90 percent accuracy just from looking at gut bacteria. Several experiments have shown that when we transplant microbes from obese mice into germ-free lean mice, they gain weight and their fat deposition increases, without any change in their diet or exercise regimen. We are now seeing the same thing happen in humans, and although we’re not sure exactly how, “obese” microbes are able to extract more calories than “lean” microbes from the same food, there are a number of ways bacteria can change their energy harvest: by controlling the transit time of food through the digestive tract, which determines how many calories can be extracted and absorbed; by influencing hormones that determine whether calories are deposited as fat versus used as energy; and by themselves consuming extra calories for tissue repair or other tasks.
Hormones: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with high levels of androgens and affects between 5 to 10% of women of reproductive age. Classic symptoms include excessive facial hair, male pattern baldness, acne, obesity, irregular menses, decreased fertility, and insulin resistance. Most, but not all women with PCOS will have multiple ovarian cysts demonstrated on ultrasound. Some studies have raised the possibility that obesity causes PCOS, rather than the other way around. What we do know is that addressing insulin resistance and obesity through a diet that restricts gluten and refined sugar improves a lot of the symptoms of PCOS, including bloating. Gutbliss experts have seen high androgen (male hormone) levels, infertility, and irregular menstrual patterns in PCOS resolve with dietary modification and weight loss.
Genetics: What you’re eating definitely has an impact on whether you gain weight, and genes have some influence, too, especially over where you gain it—they help dictate whether you end up a belly-prominent apple or a thigh-heavy pear. The Genetic Investigation of Anthropometric Traits consortium (GIANT) identified 13 new areas with variations in the DNA, that correlated with whether people were apple or pear shaped. Not surprisingly, the correlations were stronger in women. Although the identified genes only explained variations in fat distribution in about 1% of the population, the research suggests that for some of us, specific biological mechanisms may play a role in determining where fat is stored in our body. Other research shows that genetics are not the only cause of obesity. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis took gut bacteria from identical twins (who by definition, have exactly the same genes), where one was lean and one was obese, and transplanted them into germ-free mice. Within weeks, the mice that received microbes from the obese twin became obese, and the ones who received microbes from the lean twin stayed lean— validating the concept that our microbes, not our genes, may be primarily responsible for changes in our weight.
Super-Sanitized Lifestyle: In the developing world, we’re seeing lower rates of bacterial colonization in the gut as modern practices like chlorinated water, hand sanitizers, and the widespread use of antibiotics, whittle down our microbiome. The fallout has been increasing rates of modern plagues like autoimmune diseases, asthma, and allergies, but obesity is also one of the consequences of our super sanitized lifestyle.
H. pylori: Less than 10 percent of school age children now harbor H. pylori, a number that’s decreased dramatically from decades ago as a result of widespread use of antibiotics. In later life, H. pylori may be associated with stomach ulcers and other problems, but in childhood it seems to have a more protective effect, including keeping ghrelin—the “hunger hormone” produced in the GI tract that makes us want to eat —in check. Without H. pylori’s influence on ghrelin, children may be missing the cues that tell them when to stop eating.
Antibiotics: Studies show that children prescribed large amounts of antibiotics are at higher risk for obesity later in life. Antibiotic exposure before birth can be a major hazard, too: antibiotic use in pregnant women in the 2nd and 3rd trimester is associated with an increased risk for obesity in their babies. In animal studies, combining antibiotics with a high-fat diet seems to be a synergistic factor that’s associated with even more rapid weight gain, and the same is true in humans. Babies exposed to antibiotics as newborns have an 84 percent increase in risk for obesity because of the effect on their developing microbiome, and like C-section babies, much higher rates of asthma, allergies and autoimmune diseases later in life.
Chemicals: Triclosan is an antimicrobial agent found in consumer products like soaps, detergents, and some brands of toothpaste. Despite being marketed as antibacterial, household soaps and sanitizers containing triclosan don’t offer any real benefit over conventional soap and water, but they may confer additional risk, including higher rates of food allergies and a higher body mass index in people with detectable levels of triclosan in their urine, which in some studies was as high as 75 percent of U.S. households. Widespread use of chemicals like triclosan, coupled with the prevalence of pesticides and preservatives in our food, may be altering our microbiome in ways that contribute to the rising trend in obesity.
Exercise: We know that exercise is good for us, but it turns out it’s also really good for our microbes. A 2014 British study compared stool samples from 40 professional rugby players in the midst of their training season to healthy men of the same age who weren’t avid exercisers. The athletes had more bacteria, greater species diversity, and significantly higher levels of the species that are associated with low rates of obesity and obesity-related diseases. The rugby players also ate a lot more fruit and vegetables. The study authors concluded that, “exercise seems to be another important factor in the relationship between the microbiota, host immunity and host metabolism, with diet playing an important role.”
Obesity is a diagnosis based on anthropometric measurements, including percent body fat, body mass index (BMI), or waist circumference (WC). A body fat percentage of 24 in men and 37 in women, a BMI of 30 and above, and a WC of 40 inches in men and 35 inches in women, are considered obese.
Typically as percent body fat, BMI, and WC increase, so does disease risk. While BMI can be a good predictor of obesity and disease risk, it does not take into account percent body fat and therefore is not an accurate measurement in those with a very low percent body fat. While body fat percentage does take body fat into consideration, research associating body fat percentage ranges to disease risk is lacking. Waist circumference is both a valid predictor of obesity and disease risk, as it measures the adiposity around the mid-section, which is the best predictor in risk of metabolic syndrome.
Another useful number in diagnosing body fat and disease risk is waist-to-height ratio (WHtR or index of central obesity). WHtR is used to measure the amount of fat that accumulates around the abdomen, in relation to height. If your waist circumference is more than half your height, even if you’re not overweight, you may have more belly fat than you thought, which puts you at a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome, a condition that dramatically increases your chances of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some types of cancer.
Be Your Inner Doctor*
Measure your waist circumference by placing your tape measurer midway between the top of your hipbones and the bottom of your ribs. Release your breath normally and wrap the tape around your waist. If your WC is approaching 31 inches for women and 37 inches for men, your health is at risk. If your WC is approaching 35 for women and 40 for men, you are considered obese and are at risk for serious health problems.

Recommended integrative treatments for obesity include the following:
The calories in what we eat may not directly affect our weight as much as we thought, but our diet has a profound effect on our gut bacteria, which in turn affects how we harvest energy and nutrients from our food. Even if we swap out our microbes for ones associated with leanness, if we’re not eating the right mix of foods to nourish and sustain those microbes, they’re not going to survive or reproduce for very long.
The best way to treat obesity is through diet. Dr. Chutkan recommends eating a modified Paelo diet, or a flexitarian way of eating, which is referred to as the Valeo diet. For food lists and recipes, check out Gutbliss and The Microbiome Solution.
Exercise is one of the best things you can do to treat obesity. Not only because it burns calories (obesity is not as simple as burning more calories than you consume), but also because it promotes stress reduction and encourages a social, active, and healthy lifestyle. Not to mention, studies show that beneficial microbes thrive on exercise!
Although initial stressors send signals to the body to suppress hunger in order to address a stressful situation, persistent stress (which is the type of stress most Americans experience daily with busy schedules and hectic lifestyles) has the opposite effect. In a state of constant stress, the body releases a hormone called cortisol, which increases hunger and the physical drive to eat. Reducing stress, along with diet and exercise, is a first line therapy for obesity, and even if all other lifestyle factors are in place, without stress reduction, losing weight and overcoming obesity is a challenge.
Our lifestyle choices – as individuals and as a society – affect our microbiome and thus our weight. Modern practices like C-sections, antibiotic use, fattening of livestock with antibiotics, and the widespread use of chemicals in personal care products – are killing off our beneficial bacteria and allowing “bad” bacteria to take over. Like almost every aspect of our health, our microbes are intimately involved with whether we end up obese or not. Figuring out how to cherish and protect them is key to achieving and maintaining a natural, healthy weight. Check out Dr. Chutkan’s Live Dirty Eat Clean plan in The Microbiome Solution for more details.
Fecal Microbiota Transplant
While it may seem that a simple solution to the obesity epidemic is to simply replace our not-so-great microbes with better ones, it turns out that’s not so easily done. Gut bacteria have a very short lifespan—just minutes, in many cases. Even though we can temporarily change our microbial composition by inoculating ourselves with different bugs, we tend to revert to our “old” microbiome pretty quickly; so creating lasting change can be a challenging process.
Obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome are associated with a disordered microbiome and are natural candidates for FMT therapy, but we still need large-scale clinical trials that can tell us how effective FMT really is for these conditions.
Pilot studies investigating the effects of transferring stool from lean donors to obese recipients showed improved insulin sensitivity and increased production of beneficial short chain fatty acids, although most studies were too short to assess meaningful changes in weight. FMT by itself is probably not helpful for obesity, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome without a significant dietary change – which for some people may be all they need to effect meaningful changes in their microbiome.
While there is anecdotal evidence to support the use of FMT in the management of obesity, we’re still waiting on more extensive clinical trials to document a clear benefit. Obesity (along with metabolic syndrome and diabetes) is therefore categorized as a potential indication for FMT.

Nations with gender equality have greater economic growth. Business with women leaders perform better. Peace agreements drawn up by women are more durable. Legislative assemblies with women enact legislation on important social issues such as health, education, anti-discrimination and child support. Equality for women means progress for everyone.
On this International Women’s Day, let us all reflect on the progress yet to be made for all the women of the world who will continue to play an extraordinary role in the history and well being of our planet.
A girl newborn still faces inequality, no matter where she lives. We have an obligation to allow her to live free from the violence that affects one in three women around the world. These women must earn equal pay for equal work and enjoy freedom from discrimination that prevents her from deciding if and when she will have children, and how many she will be allowed to nurse.

Would You Know the Symptoms of Stroke?
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, and more than 140,000 people die from stroke each year. Immediate action is needed to prevent permanent damage to the brain, which is why it’s important to know the symptoms of stroke and react fast.
Knowing the initial stroke symptoms can go a long way toward helping your loved one survive and recover from a stroke. Pre-stroke symptoms can often be difficult to spot, so making sure that you know the warning signs might just save a life.
In honor of National Stroke Awareness Month this May, take time to learn the signs of stroke—and what to do when one occurs.
Know Your Stroke Facts
Before we review the warning signs of stroke, let’s take a look at how strokes affect the U.S. population.
When someone experiences a stroke, it means that there has been a interruption of blood flow to the brain, causing damage to the brain cells. The longer the brain goes without oxygen, the worse the damage becomes.
Almost 800,000 Americans experience a stroke each year, and it’s the leading cause of disability. While the risk for a stroke increases with age, it’s worth noting that people younger than 65 also experience strokes.
Women statistically have more strokes than men, and risk factors for both genders include high blood pressure, smoking, and high cholesterol. Strokes can be a particular concern for those who suffer from heart disease.
If your loved one is at a higher risk for stroke, talk with his or her doctor and medical team at Senior LIFE about ways to reduce the risk. That may include lifestyle changes or medication.
Be FAST: The Stroke Warning Signs to Know
There are a few stroke warning signs to keep in mind. While not always foolproof, knowing what to look for could help save a life!
Luckily, stroke experts have devised a quick and easy to remember acronym to know what to do if someone is experiencing a stroke.
Memorize the phrase “BE FAST.”
B: Balance. Check to see if your loved one has recently stumbled, lost his or her balance, or isn’t able to walk a straight line.
E: Eyes. Notice if there are sudden changes in vision.
F: Face Drooping. Is one side of your loved one’s face drooping? Often the most recognizable and well-known stroke symptom, facial drooping is a sign of stroke.
A: Arm Weakness. Check to see if both arms are able to be raised. If one is not, this might be a stroke.
S: Speech Difficulty. Speech that is unusually difficult to understand, or is suddenly slurred, is a warning sign of stroke.
T: Time to Call 911. If even a single one of the above symptoms are present, it’s time to call for help. Reaching emergency responders is as easy as dialing 911. Record the time that symptoms occurred—this information will be helpful to doctors.
Often, stroke symptoms depend on the side of the brain that is affected. There’s no way to know how severely the brain has been impacted, so it’s best to connect with emergency medical staff as soon as possible.
What to Do After a Stroke
Recovery after a stroke often requires a comprehensive combination of therapies and treatment options.
Senior LIFE offers physical therapy, speech and language therapy, and occupational therapy to help your loved one live life to the fullest at home—even after a stroke. There is no limit to the number of sessions and there’s no copay associated with rehabilitation, or any other aspect of care through Senior LIFE.
Senior LIFE is a LIFE Program designed with your loved one in mind. The goal is to allow older adults to remain in the home as they age, and provide all the necessary care to help them be independent and happy.
Senior LIFE is dedicated to helping older adults live their best lives at home in their communities with family and friends. Find a location that works best for your family, and connect with a Senior LIFE staff member to begin the enrollment process for your loved one.

享受意大利的味道
无论你身处这个世界何处，请感谢但丁，你可以品尝到历史悠久的葡萄酒，体验到作为一个伟大传统的一部分的情感，由欢乐、愉悦和良好的生活文化组成。但丁为你提供了一种纯手工纯天然的葡萄酒，放弃了大面积种植，现代机械化生产的方式。因此，这比市面上常见的葡萄酒更健康、更可持续、更天然。
独特的优秀，正如它的特点
即使在今天，在选定公司的葡萄园里，这些意大利产地的葡萄仍然是小心翼翼地用手工采摘的。因此，生产力是非常有限的，但这能够真正保证每一颗葡萄的高质量。在生产过程当中，严格地执行意大利传统标准，木桶的提纯也以工匠的方式进行。有经验的酿酒师每天都盯着他们，监视着葡萄酒的酿造过程。所有这些生产方法，都没有添加酵母和非常低水平的亚硫酸盐赋予每瓶但丁葡萄酒一些特性，使其成为一种少有的，原汁原味的和没有瑕疵的葡萄酒
为什么选择单一品种？
市场上的大多数葡萄酒都是混合(混合不同的葡萄)和某种口味标准化的结果，但与之不同的是，每瓶但丁葡萄酒的纯度都是单一品种的，换句话说，它们只来自一种葡萄。一种能够提高每个葡萄品种的显著特征，并且在不同年份之间可能有显著差异的产品。这是一款为红酒鉴赏家准备的葡萄酒，他们喜欢品尝一些独特的、不可重复的东西
但丁葡萄品种的多样性
但丁一直在寻找最好的葡萄生产土壤，故投资于意大利托斯卡纳中心那些历史悠久的葡萄园。
同时，但丁也着手将领土扩展到一些其它地区，以其它意大利单一葡萄品种来扩充自己的产品范围。 整个生产过程注重环境的保护，种植无农药，采摘和灌装是零排放，无污染。
在红酒生产工业化盛行的今天，但丁酒庄选择“去工业化”模式，将葡萄的种植和采摘，恢复到工业化之前的原始状态，这违背了利用工业化破坏环境的方式来创造经济效益的逻辑，但是但丁投资了未来。专注于单一葡萄品种酿制红酒，但丁酒庄精选多种最具意大利本土特色的葡萄品种，来保证产品的多样性。这些品种丰富的单一葡萄酿制的红酒，才最具有意大利传统特色，是但丁让它们得以传承。
品尝但丁红酒的同时，也兼顾了环境保护。

Per molto tempo, Friedrich è stato considerato un artista molto cupo e doloroso. Ciò era in parte dovuto alla sua natura chiusa, stile di vita ascetico. Ma soprattutto, Friedrich meritava una tale reputazione per i suoi dipinti, molti dei quali sono veramente devoti al tema di uno piuttosto cupo: la morte. Durante la sua vita, ha scritto un numero enorme di tombe – dalle moderne sepolture cristiane agli antichi dolmen pagani. A volte Federico eseguiva dipinti simili su ordinazione.
In questi casi, al centro della composizione, ha quasi sempre realizzato la porta del cimitero – una barriera simbolica che separa il mondo dei vivi dal mondo dei morti.
Tali porte, per esempio, si trovano sulla sua tela incompiuta “Cimitero”, 1821. Qui il “mondo ultraterreno”, il mondo del cimitero è un paesaggio meraviglioso, pieno di luce soffusa e soprannaturale, che promette la pace eterna. Federico spesso contrappone alle sue tele un oscuro, pesante mondo “terrestre” con il mondo dei cieli, rappresentato da un paesaggio illuminato che può essere visto all’orizzonte.
Nelle opere successive di Federico su questo argomento, appare un gufo – un simbolo di oscurità notturna e morte. Questa immagine, ad esempio, è presente in una delle ultime opere dell’artista – “Owl on the grave”.

Global Warming Potentials defined on a 100-year horizon (IPPC, 2007)
|Greenhouse Gas||GWP||Main Source|
|Water vapour||Not calculated||Evaluation from bodies of water|
|Carbon dioxide||1||Combustion of fossil fuels|
|Methane||25||Agriculture, waste disposal, leakage from the gas distribution system and coal mining|
|Nitrous oxide||298||Agriculture, transport, industrial processes and coal combustion|
|Ozone||Non calculated||Secondary pollutant formed in the atmosphere by chemical reactions with other pollutants, initiated by sunlight|
|F-Gases||HFCs||124-14,800||Refrigeration and air conditioning, foam blowing, aerosols, electrical switchgear, "cover" gases in metal smelting|
Greenhouse gases contribute to long term global climate change by a process known as the greenhouse effect.
Light and heat energy (infrared radiation) from the sun is absorbed by the surface of the Earth during the day, and is released again slowly over time. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb the infrared radiation and re-radiate it in all directions, including back to the Earth's surface. In this way heat is trapped in the lower levels of the troposphere, causing warming and higher temperatures than would be experienced if there were no greenhouse gases.
The direct greenhouse gases have different effectiveness in radiative forcing, which measures the influence a factor has in altering the balance of incoming and outgoing energy in the earth's atmosphere. The Global Warming Potential (GWP) is a means of providing a simple measure of the relative radiative effects of the emissions of the various gases. The index is defined as the cumulative radiative forcing between the present and a future time horizon caused by a unit mass of gas emitted now, expressed relative to that of CO2. It is necessary to define a time horizon because the gases have different lifetimes in the atmosphere. National GHG inventories use a time horizon of 100 years.

之前面试Java的时候被问到cookie和session的区别，索性今日上网找点资料记录一下；
1. 定义
注：翻译自英文wikipedia
cookie：cookie是发送自用户所浏览的网站并存储在用户浏览器中的一小段数据。用户每一次浏览该网站的时候，浏览器都会把cookie发送给服务器，以通知网站该用户的之前活动。cookies被设计成一个可靠的机制，以让网站记住一些状态信息（比如购物车中的数据）或记录用户的浏览活动（包括点击特定的buttons，登陆，或者记录用户数月前或者uunmq访问过哪些网页等）
session：在计算机科学，特别是网络中，一个session是一个半永久性的交互式信息交换，也被称作多个通信设备或者计算机和用户之间的对话、会话或会议（a dialogue, a converstaion or a meeting）。一个session在特定时间建立，然后在之后的某个时间被拆除。session一般（并不总是）有状态的（stateful），也就是说至少需要有一个通信块（communicating parts）来存储session历史信息。这点与无状态的通信不同，无状态的通信由独立的requests和response组成；
cookie分为两种：
- 以文件方式存在硬盘空间上的长期性的cookie；
- 停留在浏览器所占内存中的临时性的cookie；
浏览网站时，在网站登陆的地方，会有提示，询问是否记住自己的登陆状态，此时，登录时填写的一些信息会被以文件的方式存储在客户端的硬盘上；
当用户登陆后，session会在cookie端产生一个session_id，这个session_id是存于浏览器所占用的内存当中，因此，当关闭浏览器后，session_id就消失了。
cookie采用的是在客户端保持状态的方案，它是客户端的会话状态的一种存储机制。它是服务器在本地机器上存储的小段文本或者内存中的一段数据，并随每一个请求发送至同一个服务器。服务器用HTTP头信息向客户端发送cookie，在客户端，浏览器解析这些cookies并将他们保存为一个本地文件，或者本地内存在数据，他们会自动将同一服务器的任何请求附上这些cookies，由于采用服务器端保持状态的方案在客户端也需要保存一个标识，所以session机制借助于cookie机制来达到保存标识的目的，这样就解决了http协议无状态的缺陷。
3. session
session是一种服务器端的信息管理机制，它把这些文件信息以文件的形式存放在服务器的硬盘空间上，这种情况是默认的，也可以用memcache把这种数据放到内存里面。
当客户端向服务器发送请求时，要求服务器端产生一个session时，服务器端会先检查一下，客户端的cookie里面有没
有session_id，是否已经过期。如果有这样的session_id的话，服务器端会根据cookie里面的session_id把服务器的session检索出来。如果没有这样的session_id的话，服务器端会重新建立一个。
session产生的session_id放在cookie里面，如果用户把cookie禁止掉，session仍然可以用，不过通过其他的方式来获得这个session_id，比如可以在url后面或者以表单的形式提交到服务器端。
一般来说，cookie不是很安全，别人可以分析存放在本地的cookie并进行cookie欺骗，而session是存放在服务器端的，要想攻破session的话，首先要攻破cookie取得其中的session_id；而session_id是要有人登陆，或者启动session_start才会有，你不知道什么时候会有人登陆。其次，session_id是加密的，第二次session_start的时候，前一次的session_id就没有了，sessioin过期时session_id也会失效，想在短时间内攻破加密的session_id比较困难。
5. 其他区别
- 如果考虑安全性，应当使用session；
- session会在一段时间内保存在服务器上。当访问增多，会比较占用服务器的性能，因此如果考虑到减轻服务器性能，应该使用cookie；
- 单个cookie保存的数据不能超过4K；

Novel Günleri - Bilgilendirme!
Bölümün tamamını okumak için üye olmalısınız! Üye olmak için tıklayınız.
47. Bölüm Wang Chong’un Planı
“Yirmi gün geçti ama o velette hala bir hareket yok!” Zhang Klanı’nın bahçesinde…
Zhang Jian ve Zhang Chong ikilisi o esnada taştan bir masanın etrafında oturuyordu. Sakince çay içiyor, aromanın vücutlarına nüfuz etmesine izin veriyorlardı.
“O iş o kadar kolay olur mu hiç? 90.000 altın külçe yahu! Sırf sen istiyorsun diye o kadar paranın şak diye ortaya çıkacağını mı sanıyorsun?” Zhang Chong başını kaldırdı. Keyifliydi.
“Ayrıca Dük Jiu’nun yolsuzluklardan uzak bir adam olduğunu herkes bilir. Wang Klanı’nın o kadar paraya sahip olması mümkün değil. Zhang Klanımız yüz yılları devirmiş bir klandır ve toplam servetimiz 90.000 altından fazla olsa da, biz bile bir ayda o kadar parayı toplayamayız. O velet hayallerinin peşinde koşuyor. Yakında acı gerçeğe uyanacaktır!”
Bir süredir Yargısal Denetim Mahkemesi’ni izliyorlardı ve Hidrebad cevheriyle ilgili kontrat henüz tamamlanmamıştı. Onlara göre Wang Chong kesinlikle başarısız olacaktı!
“Fazla kibirliydi! Eğer ona önerdiğimiz anlaşmayı alsaydı bu hallere düşmezdi. Baksana bu gidişle hem işini kaybedecek hem de kontratı çiğnediği için ceza ödeyecek!” Zhang Jian göklere bakarak düşüncelere daldı.
O Mücevher Dükkanı’na ilk girdiğinde birilerinin Hidrebad cevherinin çoktan satın aldığını ve bu kişilerin Wang Klanı’na ait olduğunu öğrenmişlerdi. Paniklemeden edememişlerdi.
Fakat birkaç gün araştırdıktan sonra tamamen rahatlamışlardı.
Merkezi Ovalar’da ‘Dük Jiu’ adını duymayan yoktu. Eğer Wang Klanı cevherleri gerçekten almak istiyorsa, o halde başarısız olmaları işten bile değildi. Fakat imzaladıkları 90.000 altınlık kontratı gördükten sonra anında rahatlamışlardı.
Wang Klanı ne kadar güçlü olursa olsun, zamanında 90.000 altın bulamazlarsa anlaşma bozulacak ve böylece anlaşma Zhang Klanı’nın ellerine geçecekti.
Bunların yaşanması artık an meselesiydi.
“Neden böyle bir şey yaptıklarını gerçekten bilmiyorum. Dük Jiu’nun soyu tamamen kraliyet sarayına ve orduya odaklıdır; daha önce cevherlere ilgi duyduklarını hiç duymadım. Hidrebad cevherlerini satın aldıklarını öğrendiğimde ise rahiplerin bizimle dalga geçtiğini sanmıştım! Sindhi’den ne diye cevher alacaklardı ki?” Zhang Jian aniden konuştu.
“Dük Jiu saygıdeğer bir adamdır. Bahse varım bu meseleyi ona haber vermemişlerdir. Muhtemelen torunlarından birinin başının altınan çıktı.”
“Her halükarda onlara yardım etmeliyiz. Dük Jiu’nun itibarının zedelenmesine izin veremeyiz.” Zhang Chong çok ciddiydi.
“En, klan başkanı da aynı şeyi söyledi!” Zhang Jian başını salladı.
Dük Jiu büyük sorumluluklar alan önemli bir görevliydi. Hem ülkesine hem de dünyaya büyük katkılar yapmıştı. O olmasaydı dünya bugünkü kadar huzurlu bir yer olamazdı.
İşte bu yüzden herkes ona saygı duyuyordu.
Dada!
Tam aralarında konuştukları esnada Zhang Klanı’ndan bir üye yanlarına geldi ve Zhang Jian’ın kulağına fısıldadı.
“Ne? Birileri Mavişişe Köşkü’nde kılıç mı satıyormuş?” Zhang Jian şaşkına döndü.
“Buna şaşıracak ne var?” Zhang Chong çayından bir durum aldı, meselenin gayet normal olduğunu düşünüyordu. Başkentte onca insan varken birilerinin kılıç satmasına şaşırmamak lazımdı.
“Tanesine 600 altın istiyor! Mavişişe Köşkü’ne bir duyuru asılmış ve kimsenin kılıcı görmesine izin verilmiyormuş!”
“Ne!” Zhang Chong neredeyse çayı yere döküyordu. Kılıç satılması şaşılacak bir şey değildi ama 600 altınlık bir kılıç… İşte buna şaşırmamak elde değildi!
Bu kalitede kılıç yapabilen sadece birkaç oluşum vardı ve Zhang Klanı da onlardan biriydi.
“Hangi aile sınırlarını aşarak başkente ulaşmış? Bizim bölgemize girmeye nasıl cüret ediyorlar? Huang,Cheng, Li ve Lu Klanları meseleye ne diyor?” Zhang Chong sordu. Eğer kılıcı satan oluşum bu klanlardan biriyse o halde rapor edilecek bir durum yoktu.
“Onlar da köşke adam göndermiş. Hazırlıksız yakalanmış durumdalar ve hatta bizi sorgulamaya bile kalkmışlar!” dedi Zhang Jian.
Zhang Cong’un alnı kırıştı.
Demirci klanları arasında belli başlı kurallar vardı. Bu dünyada her sektörün kendine has bir etkisi ve yetkisi mevcuttu. Bu bilerek yaptıkları bir şey değildi; her şey geçen yüz yıllarla birlikte kendiliğinden oluşmuştu.
Başkentteki demircilik sektörünün başında Zhang, Huang, Cheng, Li ve Lu Klanları vardı. Tabii başka oluşumların da başkentte silah satışı yapması mümkündü ama önce bu durumu bahsi geçen klanlara bildirmeleri gerekiyordu.
Bu klanlar baskıcı değildi. Ama bu işin kuralı buydu. Zhang Klanı böyle bir şey yapacak olursa önce diğerlerine haber verirdi.
Bu kurala herkes uyuyordu.
Ancak bahsi geçen şahıslar farklıydı!
“Gidelim! Bakmamız şart!” Zhang Chong hemen ayağa fırladı ve Zhang Jian da onun peşine takıldı.
…….
Köşk ince işçiliğin eseriydi ve çok heybetliydi.
Binanın dış yapısı devasa bir mavişişe kelebeğini andırıyordu ve kelebek kanatlarını açmıştı. Engin Turna Köşkü gibi burası da lüks yiyeceklerin ve içeceklerin satıldığı bir yerdi. Fakat müşteriler buraya genelde çay ve türevi şeyler için geliyordu.
Fakat bugün Mavişişe Köşkü’nde farklı bir hava vardı.
Kapıda üst üste koyulmuş külçelerden oluşan 2 metrelik bir dağ duruyordu. Dağın hemen üstünde ise siyah örtülerle kaplanmış bir metrelik bir kılıç mevcuttu.
Kılıcın yanında bir tabela vardı.
[600 altın külçe!] yazıyordu. Bu metalden dağ, kılıç ve ahşap tabela çok dikkat çekiyordu. Etraftan eleştiriler yankılanıyordu.
“Dokunamıyorsun ve göremiyorsun; böyle kılıç mı satılır!”
“Hem de fiyata 600 altın demişler. Muhtemelen kafayı yemiş olmalılar! Niye gidip banka falan soymuyorlar ki?”
“Peki köşk buna neden izin veriyor? Yiyecek ve içecek satılan bir yerin girişinde bu metal dağın ne işi var?”
….
Köşkün ikinci katında duran Wei Hao kalabalığa baktı. Eleştirilerin sırtına adeta hançerler gibi saplandığını hissediyordu. Kendisi Mavişişe Köşkü’nün genç efendisiydi ve kılıcı oraya asan oydu; bu yüzden eleştirileri de kendi kişiliğine yöneltildiğini hissediyordu.
“Wang Chong, cidden böyle mi yapacağız?” diye kaygıyla sordu. “Burası insanların yiyecek ve içecek için geldiği bir yer. Neden doğru düzgün bir silah dükkanı bulmuyoruz ki?”
“Buna gerek yok. Böylesi iyi!” Wang Chong başını iki yana salladı. Kararı kesindi ve bazen Wei Hao onu çok kıskanıyordu. Çünkü bu adam etrafında olup bitenden hiç etkilenmiyor gibiydi.
“Ama bana garip geliyor. Sonuçta bir şeyler içmek için gelen bir adamın kılıç alması… Pek de gerçekçi değil. Üstelik kılıç başına 600 altın istesek bile 90.000 altın toplayabilecek miyiz?”
Wang Chong’un tersine Wei Hao çok şüpheliydi. Wang Chong’un kılıcı koyduğu yer oldukça garipti. Burası silah dükkanı değildi. Dahası kılıç başına 600 altın kazansalar bile, 90.000 altını toplamak neredeyse imkansızdı!
Gerçi Wei Hao’ya göre Wang Chong en başından beri o anlaşmayı imzalamamalıydı!
“Sakin ol, gerekli parayı toplayacağız!” Wang Chong sakince kalabalığı süzdü. Zaten 90.000 altını toplamak imkansızdı. Normal bir koşulda, ünlü kılıçlar dahi 600-700 altına satılıyordu. En üst-düzey olanları bile en fazla 1000 altına gidiyordu.
Kılıçtan beklentiniz yoksa, ona sadece birkaç gümüş harcardınız. Böyle bir durumda Bulat silahlarını binlerce altına satmak imkansızdı!
Bulat silahlarının gerçek değerine ulaşması bu gidişle en azından 6-7 yıl sürerdi!
Fakat Wang Chong olayları değiştirmişti. Sıradan bir yöntem değil, kimsenin tahmin edemeyeceği bir yöntem kullanacaktı!
Dolayısıyla Mavişişe Köşkü onun için çok önemliydi!
Evet, belki de burası kılıç satmak için çok uygun bir yer değildi. Fakat Wang Chong bu yerin olağanüstü bir avantaja sahip olduğunu biliyordu.
İMPARATORLUK ORDUSU!
Mavişişe Köşkü’nün hemen yakınlarında, yaklaşık birkaç yüz metre ötede kraliyet sarayının girişi vardı! İmparatorluk Ordusu da oraya konuşlanmıştı!
Bu yüzden Mavişişe Köşkü sık sık İmparatorluk Ordusu’ndaki generallerin ve askerlerin geldiği bir yerdi!
Zaten bu yüzden Engin Turna Köşkü gibi yemeğe değil, çaya ve alkole odaklanmışlardı. Böylece ordu üyeleri devriyeden sonra buraya gelerek rahatlayabiliyordu.
Kraliyet sarayında alkol yasaktı ve İmparatorluk Ordusu devriye değişimlerinde bir şeyler içmek için sadece buraya gelebiliyordu.
Para konusunda sıkıntı çekmedikleri için Mavişişe Köşkü’nde işler epey iyiydi.
Tabii Wang Chong bu konuya pek kafasını takmıyordu. Büyük Tang ve Merkezi Ovalar’da bu kılıçların en güzide alıcıları şüphesiz ki İmparatorluk Ordusu’ndaki generallerdi. Wang Chong bunu çok iyi biliyordu!
Eski hayatında Abbasiler’den gelen Bulat silahları yüz binlerce altına satılmıştı; çünkü İmparatorluk Ordusu’nun generalleri onları resmen kendi kolları yahut bacakları gibi görüyordu.
Soylu kimliklerine daha çok yakışan başka bir kılıç yoktu. İmparatorluk Ordusu’nun liderleri bu kılıçları alabilecek paraya da sahipti!
Bu konuda Bulat çeliğinin ticaretini yapan klanlar bile onlarla aşık atamıyordu.
Aslında İmparatorluk Ordusu’nun liderleri genelde etkileyici kimselerdi. Wang Chong 90.000 altın toplamak için onları hedef alması gerektiğini biliyordu.
Aslında başından beri onlara yönelik bir plan yapmıştı! Silahlar kaliteli olduğu sürece İmparatorluk Ordusu onları alabilirdi!
Fakat kraliyet sarayı ve İmparatorluk Ordusu’nun itibarı yüzünden çoğu silah tüccarı onlara yaklaşamıyordu. Wang Chong’un dışında bu generallerin devasa miktarlara sahip olduğunu bilen kişi sayısı çok azdı!
Genç adamın elindeki tek avantaj buydu ve bu sırrı kimseye söylemeyecekti!

How did Saint Anne, not mentioned in the Bible, become one of the most important saints of the Church’s second millennium? The answer has to do with the shifting role of the laity since the high Middle Ages and the central pivot point of the Incarnation in this shift. Let me begin with a personal anecdote.
On my mother’s side of the family, almost all of the women either bear the name Mary/Marie/Maria or Anne/Anna, or have one of those for their middle names. My mother’s name is Mary and her younger sister is Anne. This trend goes back several generations. My sisters and cousins have continued this trend this to a surprisingly large extent: I have one niece named Anna, one named Maria, and another with the middle name Ann, and there are next-gen Marys scattered throughout my extended family.
It’s worth noting that there are a few Joachims in my mother’s family tree as well! Oddly, perhaps, there are not so many Josephs. This is not entirely without significance, I suspect. Joseph holds a place of distinction in the roster of saints, but Our Lord Jesus Christ derives His sacred humanity through Joachim, Anne, and Mary, and not through Joseph.
What we know about Saint Joachim and Anne comes primarily from the Protoevangelium of James, an apocryphal work from about the year A.D. 145. It it a biography of the Virgin Mary, and includes the story of her barren mother miraculously conceiving and giving birth. The Protoevangelium was an extrememly popular work in the early Church, despite the fact that it never achieved canonical status (and was even condemned by various high-ranking clergymen and synods). Several feast days (The Nativity of Mary, The Presentation of Mary, Saints Joachim and Anne) derive directly from this text. Important iconographic details do as well, such as the motif of Mary weaving the temple veil at the time of the Annunciation.
All well and good! Now, to return to my opening question: if Saints Joachim and Anne were already well-known to Origen in the third century, why does the cult of Saint Anne become so important much later? The answer, as I have already indicated, involves the sanctity of marriage and the growth of popular devotion to the humanity of Christ, in the Real Presence, and in the devotio moderna styles of prayer such as the Stations of the Cross.
My account of this will necessarily be a summary that skips lots of details. If you would like to read more about this, I cannot recommend highly enough the two excellent books by my friend Rachel Fulton Brown: From Judgement to Passion and Mary and the Art of Prayer.
Saints Joachim and Anne grew in popularity along with the twelfth- and thirteenth-century movement to recognize marriage as a full-fledged sacrament, and therefore a conduit of grace. Holiness, in much of the early Church, was connected almost exclusively with virginity and celibacy (the renunciation of marriage), and therefore married persons were considered to occupy a lesser place in the Body of Christ. The marriage of Mary and Joseph did not function as easily as an icon of sanctifying marital love in part because of the miraculous nature of Christ’s conception of a virgin. As I mentioned above, the sacred humanity of Christ does not derive from Joseph. This shifts the focus back a generation to Joachim and Anne, and helps to set the stage for a growth in the interest in the Immaculate Conception.
Saint Anne is also linked to a growth in, and a desire for, female literacy. Many icons of Saint Anne with the Virgin Mary show her teaching the young girl to read. In the West, the Annunciation icon frequently depicts Mary reading her breviary or book of hours (again, read Mary and the Art of Prayer!). The books thus depicted were meant to encourage lay women to learn to read and to teach their daughters to read, as a stimulus to prayer. Saint Anne is important in this because Mary’s ability to read (in these accounts) is connected to her ability to hear and give her fiat to the angel Gabriel, thereby undoing the disobedience of Eve, who listened and followed the temptations of the serpent. Thus, Saint Anne’s tutelage of her daughter is closely linked with salvation.
Saint Anne would go on to have many powers attributed to her, particularly help in childbirth. In the case of Saint-Anne-de-Beaupre (the patron of Quebec), she would also be connected to the safety of merchant sailors. Last of all, Saint Joachim was reintroduced, in a sense, to this collection of devotions with the revision of the calendar, undoubtedly to underline the sanctity of marriage.
Since much of the devotion to Saint Anne in the last eight centuries has been driven by the interests of the laity, the music composed in her honor is largely paraliturgical. In our celebration of Solemn Vespers a week from Friday, we are able to make use of two of the best examples of the motets (choral pieces on sacred themes but not necessarily liturgical) in her honor. However, I was not able to track down any settings of the hymn proper to the feast. So Kevin Allen and I took this as another opportunity to co-compose a new piece for the liturgy. We are both very pleased with how it turned out, and we hope that many of our friends will be there to hear the premiere on Friday, July 26, at 7:00 p.m.!

Trout abound in the mountain streams and lakes, barbel and many other species of Cyprinidae in the rivers of the plains.
Of the twenty-one species of freshwater fish, five are peculiar to the country, but none is of much economic value save the barbel and eel.
It is distinguished from other species of the genus Gadus by its long pointed snout, which is twice as long as the eye, with projecting lower jaw, and without a barbel at the chin.
It is a small barbel discovered in Natal by Max Weber, and described by him under the name Barbus viviparus.
HADDOCK (Gadus aeglefinus), a fish which differs from the cod in having the mental barbel very short, the first anal fin with 22 to 25 rays, instead of 17 to 20, and the lateral line dark instead of whitish; it has a large blackish spot above each pectoral fin - associated in legend with the marks of St Peter's finger and thumb, the haddock being supposed to be the fish from whose mouth he took the tribute-money.
Fish are caught in great numbers in the rivers and marshes, chiefly barbel and carp, and the latter attain so great a size that one is a sufficient load for an ass.
WHITING (Gadus merlangus), a fish of the family Gadidae, which is abundant on the shores of the German Ocean and all round the coasts of the British Islands; it is distinguished from the other species of the genus by having from 33 to 35 rays in the first anal fin, and by lacking the barbel on the chin.
Freshwater scale-fish are mostly full of bones, but fine eels and barbel are plentiful in the rivers.

Mention the phrase “head lice” to any parent and most will react with a cringe. What are they, and how do you treat them if they’ve infested your child’s scalp?
Head lice are little bugs that can make your kids scratch their noggins, but do not cause any diseases, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The worst result of having head lice is a child scratching his head until he opens wounds, which could then become infected.
There is, however, much transmission of head lice in schools, because children tend to interact in closer proximity to each other than adults. Doctors report an increase in the number of head lice cases after school starts in September.
This month, many parents will receive information about head lice from their children’s schools. While some private institutions test students for head lice before the start of the academic year, New York City public schools have a policy of not accepting children who have lice into classrooms.
Head lice are six-legged insects that are the size of sesame seeds. They only live on human beings, and cannot be caught from animals, according to a statement issued by the city’s Office of School Health.
Pearly white and smaller than a pin head, nits are the egg cases laid by lice. While lice move around the head and on the scalp, nits attach to hair shafts.
A child can only have head lice if he has a living, moving louse on his scalp. He catches the parasite when the louse gives up its host’s head for a new host. Eggs in their protective nits are not transmitted from one head to another.
Once the insects attach to a person’s head, they feed on blood obtained from the scalp. Many — but not all — people with head lice will develop an itchy scalp.
Anyone can get head lice, which are usually caught from family and friends in the home and community.
Head lice can be transferred when people hug each other, or when small children are playing together and their heads brush each other.
Head lice can also be transmitted by objects — such as hats, clothing, combs and brushes — used by infected individuals.
Families can do everything right and still develop head lice. Learn how to check your children’s head for these lice, before they have a chance to breed. When making your examination, it can be easier to spot the nits laid on the hair, which are most often found in the thickest parts — at the nape of the neck and behind the ears.
Parents should also tell children not to share hats, combs and brushes with anyone else. Physical contact with infected individuals, including their belongings, should be avoided.
What are the symptoms of head lice?
The first indication of an infection is usually itching around the area of the body where the lice feed. If a child is scratching the back of his head or around his ears, examine them for head lice.
It may take two to three weeks or longer for a person to notice the intense itching associated with lice infection.
There are a multitude of products on the market for treating head lice. Several medicated shampoos or cream rinses, especially those containing the pesticides permethrin or pyrethrin, can be purchased over the counter.
After washing your child’s hair with a head lice shampoo, a parent will need to comb out any remaining nits with a good lice comb. The most effective combs are those with metal teeth so close together that you can’t see them. If the child has long hair, the lice comb approach can be time consuming and labor intensive, so many parents opt to cut their child’s hair.
There are also hair lotions that can be added to dry hair and applied with a lice comb. These lotions should not be heated with a hair dryer, as some of them are flammable.
Parents should repeat the process of washing and combing their child’s hair every seven days to ensure that the lice do not reappear.
Because head lice have developed resistance to the pesticides used to treat them, the number of lice infections has grown over the years. The National Pediculosis Association believes that prescription pesticides, such as malathion and lindane, are not only ineffective at treating infections, but are also dangerous if they are used after the child has been treated with an over-the-counter pesticide. The Association “advises parents to discontinue the use of any treatment at the earliest sign of failure and to avoid using other chemicals. Manual removal is the best option whenever possible.”
All bedding, towels and clothing from infected individuals should be cleaned with soap and hot water, and placed in a dryer for at least 20 minutes to help kill off any remaining lice. Toys and other belongings can be placed in plastic bags and sealed off for 10 days so the lice will die of starvation.
You should also soak combs and hairbrushes in alcohol or lice shampoo, dispose of hair accessories, and thoroughly vacuum carpets and upholstered furniture.
Lice removal has become profitable for many businesses. In the New York City area, there are treatment centers, resembling salons, where professionals will comb lice and nits out of clients’ hair. Other companies will come directly to your home to treat and remove head lice.
The most accurate and reliable information about head lice can be found on the National Pediculosis Association’s website at www.headli
Another helpful website is www.kidshe
• • •
So the next time you say the words “head lice” to a parent, allay their fears by letting them know all of the information and treatments available to them in their local communities and on the Internet. There’s really no reason to bug out.

The principal domain of research of our lab is the physiology and the biomechanics of terrestrial locomotion. Movement in sports (particularly in gymnastic) are also studied.
- Studies on terrestrial locomotion
At first glance, there are many different modes of terrestrial locomotion: some vertebrates move on Earth on two legs while others use four. They walk, amble, trot, pace, canter, gallop, hop, etc. In fact, this huge variety of locomotory types are all based on two basic mechanisms:
More information : Norman HEGLUND
- A force platform made of 10 plates (total length: 6 m.) measures the vertical and forward components of the ground reaction force during several walking or running steps. This platform is installed at the level in the middle of a 40 m long corridor.
- A of 16 plates (size of each plate: 1m x 1m) is under construction. This platform measures the ground reaction forces in the three directions of the space. It has a resolution of 3 N and a full scale of 50.000 N
- A piezo-electric force platform (KIESTLER®) measures the ground reaction forces in the three directions of the space.
- A motion analysis system with infrared cameras (SELSPOT®) records the movements of the body segments at 400 frames/s.Electromyographs (EMG) record the electrical activity of height muscular groups.
- A telemetric system allows to measure energy expenditure during various exercises (KOSMED K4®).
Main research projects of the last five years
- The mechanics of walking and running in children during growth
Three children run on the 6 m long force platform of the lab.
The aim of this study is to understand:
(1) how the mechanisms of locomotion change during growth,
(2) which are the factors that influence this evolution (change in morphology, increase of the weight and the size, maturation of the nervous system, modification of the muscular force...).
Three studies were realized these last years.
The energy expenditure in children during walking.
In this study, we measured the oxygen
consumption during walking at different speeds in adults and in 3 to
12 years old children.
work done by children during walking at different speeds
The mechanical work can be divided into different parts: (1) the external work necessary to sustain the displacement of the center of mass of the body relative to the surroundings, (2) the internal work done to accelerate the body segments relative to the center of mass of the body and (3) the internal work done during the double contact phase of walking by the back leg which generates energy that will be absorbed by the front leg (see picture). This last part is not counted in the 'classic' measurements of the positive muscular work done during walking. Using force platforms, we studied the effect of speed and age (size) on the internal work done by one leg against the other. We also measured the total mechanical work done during walking at different speeds in adults and in 3-12 years old children (paper in preparation).
The bouncing mechanism of running in children
The natural frequency of the body bouncing
system depends on the body mass and the stiffness of the elastic structures
responsible for the rebound. Between the age of initiation of running and
adulthood, body mass increases more than five times, but the effect of
growth on stiffness is unknown. In this study, we investigated the factors
affecting the freely chosen step frequency, and measured the mechanical
work done to move the center of mass of the body during running at various
speeds in children of different age.
- Mechanics and energetics of human locomotion on sand
The mechanics and energetics of locomotion have been thoroughly investigated only in the laboratory on hard, level, non-slippery surfaces, although these bear little resemblance to those actually occurring in nature. It could be that the energy-saving mechanisms utilized during locomotion on a hard surface are not functional on a soft surface, or that the muscles on a soft surface are in a condition such that they contract and do work at lower efficiency, or simply that the mechanical work required to walk or run on a soft surface is much greater since the foot does work on the substratum. The purpose of the present study was to quantify the increase in metabolic cost and the reason for that increase, in human walking and running on dry sand. A 50 m track containing 8 tons of sand was build (left picture). In order to evaluate muscular work during sand locomotion, a track was also build on the top of the force plate (right picture).
- Physiology of load carrying
Services to Society
People in the Third World often carry prodigious loads supported by their heads. With the exception of African women, virtually nothing is known about the energetics and mechanics of carrying head supported loads.
In Nepal, load carrying is mostly done by humans. Porters use a bag (doko) supported by a strap on the head (naamlo). On the average, loads are equal to body weight (occasionally up to two times the body weight). We studied the energetics (oxygen consumption - right picture) and mechanics (mechanical work - left picture) of Sherpa carrying head supported loads in an effort to determine if this is a particularly economical means of portage, and if so, what mechanisms are used to minimize cost.
- Effect of gravity on the mechanics of walking and running
Professor Cavagna (University of Milan) walking at 0.4 g (like on Mars).
The aim of this study is to understand how gravity affects the mechanisms of locomotion. We measured the ground reaction forces during walking in reduced (0.4 g) or enhanced (1.5 g) gravity and during running in enhanced gravity (1.3 g). Hypo-gravity is obtained during parabolic flights while hyper-gravity is obtained during circular flights
- List of the new research projects in the field of locomotion
- Effect of exercise on the muscle and bone loss during extended weightlessness
- Mechanics of locomotion of the elephant
- Control of step frequency during running in children and in adults
- Analysis of movement in gymnastics
In a first project, we analyze the movement of the center of mass of the body during a stationary backwards flip (see picture). This exercise requires one to take off and land at the same place. The aim of the work is to understand how the subject is able to induce a movement of rotation of the body without inducing a horizontal translation of its center of mass. We record the ground reaction forces and compute the trajectory of center of mass during that exercise (paper in preparation).

"C" offers several different sizes for signed int. There's
short int, int, long int. The "C" language
doesn't specify how many bytes each should be, but does have
the following restriction.
sizeof( short ) <= sizeof( int ) <= sizeof( long )
All sizes can be different, or they can all be the same (or two
of them the same, and one different), as long as the above
restrictions are met.
Casting requires the CPU to make conversions between one data type and another. Since short and int are signed two's complement, the way to convert from a shorter data type to a longer data type is to sign extend.
Definition To sign-extend an N-bit number to an (N+k)-bit number, bits b(N+k-1)-N = (bN-1)kl while the bits at index less than or equal to N - 1 remain unchanged.To sign extend means to fill in the additional upper k bits with 0, if the sign bit is 0, and to fill those bits with 1, if the sign bit is 1.
Clearly, this works if the sign bit is 0. You write 3, in base 2 using 4 bits, as 0011. If you want to write it in 6 bits, it's 000011. Adding additional 0's to the high bits does not affect the final value.
What's less clear is that this is true if the sign bit is 1. Let's think about why this might be. Suppose you want to represent -2 in 2C using 4 bits. You'd write 1110. Again, think of the binary odometer example. Go back from 0000, to 1111, to 1110.
A binary odometer has its lower bits changing first. The higher bits change later. This is true whether you are going forward or backward in binary.
For example, write -2 in 2C using 6 bits. It looks like 111110. That's just 1110 with two more 1's at the higest 2 bits.
Clearly, the problem with casting to a shorter size is a possible loss of information. You can represent a larger number of values with more bits. Getting rid of bits may cause the number to be cut off.
If the compiler complains, usually static casting the number to the shorter type will get rid of the complaints. Effectively, you are telling the compiler "I know this casting may lose data, but don't worrry about it. This is OK for my application."
The problem is returning an error value. When getchar() reaches the end of file, it returns EOF. This is almost always defined as -1. While there is a possibility of defining char as negative (thus signed char), the safer response is to return -1.
Unfortunately, you need to cast the result as in:
char ch = (char) getchar() ;
You would static cast if you were working in C++.
If you are casting unsigned numbers to a larger width (i.e., a larger number of bits or bytes), you zero-extend. That is, you add zeroes to the upper bits. This should make sense. With no negative values, there's no need to copy 1's up.
Zero-extension often occurs with logical operations. If you are doing a logical operation (e.g., bitwise AND, bitwise OR) where one argument has more bytes than the other, it's usually the case that the argument with fewer bytes is zero-extended.
This is especially true in assembly language where it's often not clear whether a register is holding an UB or 2C representation (or whether it should simply be considered some kind of bitstring, and not even thought of as a number).
Zero extension is used to extend unsigned ints to more bits. This is done by copying 0's to all additionla upper bits.
You can also reduce the number of bits (this doesn't have a particular name---i.e., it's NOT called sign-reduction) by casting to a smaller size, but this may entail loss of information.

Guerra alla guerra. Opere 1923-1940
13 novembre – 13 dicembre 2015
Sala Liguria
Il ciclo di incisioni “La Guerra”, che Gagliardo iniziò nel 1923 con l’acquaforte Non fate agli altri ciò che non volete sia fatto a voi stessi e concluse nel 1940 con Partenza e Brindisi triste, rappresenta un caso unico nel panorama artistico italiano dell’epoca. La sua cruda raffigurazione del primo conflitto mondiale si contrappose infatti al celebrativo culto della vittoria.

在去年的4月份，我的女朋友做过一次无痛人流手术，后来她不小心又怀孕了，她又再做了一次人流手术，不过保养的挺好的，一切正常。今天我就来和大家一块分享分享多次流产会有什么后果这个大家都很想知道的问题。
一方面：人工流产，特别是短期内多次人工流产，容易引起输卵管炎、宫颈和宫腔粘连、闭经等，因而造成不孕。所以，人工流产不宜多做，应坚持做好避孕工作，常做人工流产手术对自己的身体也会有一定的伤害。
另一方面：人流只管是一种小手术，但不是在直视下发展，吸宫和刮宫等利用只能凭手的感受来大白，有时因操作失慎会发生一些并发症或后遗症，如吸宫不全、子宫流血、子宫发炎、子宫穿孔、子宫内膜异位症、不孕症等。
最后：多次人流的危害易导致乳腺疾病。因为妊娠被突然中断，会打乱正常女性激素的生理功能，如激素水平骤然降低，正发育着的乳腺会突然停止生长，细胞变小，腺泡消失，乳腺复原。但这种复原通常是不完全的，并且很容易造成乳腺疼痛，有的还会诱发乳腺小叶增生、乳腺炎等乳房疾病。有统计资料显示，人流诱发乳腺病的占4%左右。
流产后如何调养身心?这个主意事项是需要了解的，除了我们都知道的要适当休息之外，女人还要适当补充营养。同时，女性朋友要注意个人卫生，人工流产后一个月内应幸免性生活;出血期间勤换卫生护垫。
妊娠于20周前终止，胎儿体重少于500克，称为流产。流产又分为自然流产和人工流产；其中人工流产为，用人工或药物方法终止妊娠称为早期妊娠终止。而自然流产是指在怀孕28周前胚胎或胎儿因某种原因自动脱离母体而排出者，其发生率约为15%～20%。自然流产连续发生3次或3次以上，且发生时间在怀孕三个月以内，又称为反复性早期自然流产。同时自然流产还有稽留流产一种，指胚胎或胎儿在宫内已死亡2个月后仍未自然排出者。自然流产的原因非常复杂，其中有染色体异常、受精卵异常、胚胎质量差、年龄大了卵子质量不好、年龄大了精子质量不好、有遗传病、环境污染的问题等。展开>>

New technique could help authorities conduct triage in multiple-blaze scenarios
An interdisciplinary team of scientists at the University of California, Irvine has developed a new technique for predicting the final size of a wildfire from the moment of ignition.
Built around a machine learning algorithm, the model can help in forecasting whether a blaze is going to be small, medium or large by the time it has run its course – knowledge useful to those in charge of allocating scarce firefighting resources. The researchers’ work is highlighted in a study published today in the International Journal of Wildland Fire.
“A useful analogy is to consider what makes something go viral in social media,” said lead author Shane Coffield, a UCI doctoral student in Earth system science. “We can think about what properties of a specific tweet or post might make it blow up and become really popular – and how you might predict that at the moment it’s posted or right before it’s posted.”
He and his colleagues applied that thinking to a hypothetical situation in which dozens of fires break out simultaneously. It sounds extreme, but this scenario has become all too common in recent years in parts of the western United States as climate change has resulted in hot and dry conditions on the ground that can put a region at high risk of ignition.
“Only a few of those fires are going to get really big and account for most of the burned area, so we have this new approach that’s focused on identifying specific ignitions that pose the greatest risk of getting out of control,” Coffield said.
The team used Alaska as a study area for the project because the state has been plagued over the past decade by a rash of concurrent fires in its boreal forests, threatening human health and vulnerable ecosystems.
At the core of the UCI scientists’ model is a “decision tree” algorithm. By feeding it climate data and crucial details about atmospheric conditions and the types of vegetation present around the starting point of a fire, the researchers could predict the final size of a blaze 50 percent of the time. A key variable is the vapor pressure deficit – just how little moisture there is in the area – during the first six days of a fire’s existence. A second major consideration for Alaskan forests is the percentage of trees of the black spruce variety.
“Black spruce, which are dominant in Alaska, have these long, droopy branches that are designed – from an evolutionary perspective – to wick up fire,” said co-author James Randerson, professor and Ralph J. & Carol M. Cicerone Chair in Earth System Science at UCI. “Their seeds are adapted to do well in a post-fire environment, so their strategy is to kill off everything else around them during a fire to reduce competition for their offspring.”
He said Coffield was able to show that the fraction of black spruce within a 2.5-mile radius of the ignition site is an important factor in judging how big a fire will grow.
One advantage of this new method is speed, Coffield said. The algorithm “learns” with each new data point and can quickly figure out the critical thresholds for identifying large fires. It’s possible for people to do this manually or by running simulations on each different ignition, he said, but the machine learning system’s statistical approach is “really much faster and more efficient, especially for considering multiple fires simultaneously.”
Faced with a climate change-induced jump in the number of wildfires expected each season, state, county and local firefighting authorities could benefit from some updated tools and techniques, Randerson noted. In addition to potentially saving lives and protecting property and crucial infrastructure, fire suppression efforts will also become increasingly important in preserving the natural world.
“In places like Alaska, there’s a need to limit the area affected by fire, because if we keep having these unusual, high-fire years, more carbon will be lost from the landscape, exacerbating warming,” Randerson said. “If we let the fires run away, we could be in a situation where there’s a lot of significant damage to both the climate system and ecosystems.”

The Internet is much like the Wild West: largely unregulated, fiercely independent, and a dangerous place for children.
Today’s parents likely learn basic Internet skills as adolescents or adults, making it tricky for them to negotiate their children’s day-to-day online needs.
An essential part of parenting is teaching your children how to navigate this complex world.
Educating your children about online safety is a key part of helping them grow into thoughtful, safe, web-savvy adults.
- Keep It Age Appropriate
Much like you wouldn’t explain the nitty-gritty details of the birds and the bees to a four-year-old, it’s important to keep your Internet safety talks age-appropriate.
Younger children don’t need to know that child molesters or dangerous people hang out in Internet forums. They simply can be told that using the Internet – much like swimming alone in a pool – is something that requires an adult’s supervision.
As children get older, it’s appropriate to explain the dangers of Internet use to help them understand the risk.
Discuss how people can pretend to be someone else online, steal important personal information, and use the anonymity of the Internet to bully others.

- Create a Social Media Policy and Stick To It
As a parent, it’s nearly impossible to keep tabs on the latest social media sites. For example, Facebook recently announced that it has experienced a drop in teen users as they turn to Instagram or SnapChat for their social media needs, as Forbes reports.
While it’s important to police particular sites, it’s more valuable to teach savvy social media skills. Talk to your kids about the information that is okay versus not okay to give out online.
For example, general locations-statements, like “I live in Illinois” are fine, but giving a particular address or school name is not.
The Denver Post recommends discussing privacy settings with kids to teach them how to protect their information.
Familiarize yourself with Facebook, Instagram or Tik Tok’s privacy policies and have your child walk you through his or her settings to make sure they’re safe and appropriate.

- Discuss Email Communications
Many spam emails are innocuous, asking you to sign up for a service or take an online survey.
However, others install malware on your computer or nab personal information. Teach your child to recognize the difference between safe emails and those that are phishing attempts.
One way to explain phishing to your child is to frame as a scenario where someone who seems friendly is trying to do something harmful, as Lifelock.com advises. Inform your child that no official organization will ever ask for social security numbers, birthdays, passwords, or other sensitive information via email.
Tell your kid to let you know if he or she suspects a phishing attempt so you can notify the appropriate authorities.
- Explain Password Safety
Even tweens regularly subscribe to websites that require a username and password login. As a parent of a youngster, it’s fine to insist on knowing your child’s passwords to monitor online activity.
However, as your child becomes a teenager, some level of online privacy is appropriate. Microsoft recommends teaching your kids basic password safety skills at a young age.
Help your child create passwords with capital letters, numbers, and symbols to increase safety.
Encourage your child to memorize the password and only use it when on a personal device, rather than a public computer.
Ensuring password safety keeps your child safe from phishing attacks or cyberbullying hacks.

Next Big Thing: What's the future of so-called talking cars?5:56 /
Brian Cooley discusses a new wireless technology, dedicated short range communication (DSRC), that will make it possible for cars to make each other aware of their position, speed, and direction.
Perhaps you've heard the recent buzz about so-called talking cars? Just got a tour of the lab where auto makers and government researchers team up to create new technologies that help cars communicate with the world around them, and with each other. They can tell you if an oncoming vehicle is about to run a red light. Or where if the car's coming around a blind corner or if the detour would help you save some time and gas. [MUSIC] This gives cars a three hundred and sixty degrees awareness of nearby vehicles. Common navigation systems are not precise enough. We needed a localization that can give us exact position on a centimeter base. The system call also alert drivers to approaching emergency vehicles. If a crash is detected, emergency crews can be dispatched, drivers can be diverted immediately to alternate routes. Each traffic light has to be correctly identified under all weather and lighting conditions. This car is stopped. The car two vehicles behind it can't tell because of traffic in the middle. But, thanks to vehicle-to-vehicle communication, the driver in the back gets a warning to brake, even though he couldn't have seen it humanly. [MUSIC] The technology is called DSRC, Dedicated Short Range Communications. It gives vehicles a new built-in radio, if you will, that operates in the 5.9 gigahertz band, and allows them to communicate to each other in a very specific way. To tell each other where they are, the direction they're heading, and the speed they're going. It's largely focused on preventing accidents. ABI Research, for example, predicts that about 10% of new cars shipping will have DSRC by 2018. And that goes up to 70% by 2027. Some pretty good numbers. In the United States, as of February, 2014, the Department of Transportation announced that it will announce a pending date soon, by which all new cars must ship with DSRC radios enabled. The goal 70 to 80% reduction in accidents. In Europe it's even more ambitions, their looking for a 100% accident free zone by 2050 thanks to the SRC. But specifically how will these DSRC enabled talking cars. To get to those lofty goals. Well, let's consider some of the scenarios that have been tested at the University of Michigan's Safety Pilot program in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Intersections: cars in all four directions would signal their position and proceeding movement to each other to avoid collisions, T-bones and right-of-way screw-ups. Rear end collisions, the DSRC equipped car in front of you would always tell your DRSC equipped car that it's stopping, and how fast it's doing so. Passing oncoming cars will signal their direction and closing speed to your car. So you'd always know when it's mathematically to try and pass ending the crude white-knuckle guesses that human drivers make all the time. Pedestrians and bikes. DSRC radios could also be pocketable, or even integrated into future smart phones to make pedestrians and bikes part of this crash avoidance scenario as well. Now all of the above can be manifested in two major ways. Active and passive technology. Active technology means the information from DSRC is sent to the car's computers, which control braking, acceleration, and even steering, to automatically avoid a collision. [INAUDIBLE] Passive, of course, merely gives the driver indications on the dash about what's about to happen that they want to avoid to alert them to do so. The nice thing about passive is it could conceivably be retrofitted to millions of cars already on the road. Now, beyond the enormous accident reduction goal, there's another benefit to DSRC and that is increases efficiency of fuel consumption and roadway usage. Through several means. The first of which is to communicate traffic phase and timing to cars. The DSRC information would tell the car how long the current traffic light color will be in effect, and when it will change, allowing the ar to adjust its trajectory for best traffic flow, fuel usage, and momentum conservation. And linking, where our private cars would form, on the freeway for example, little ad-hoc road trains. Following each other as little as maybe three feet, nose to tail. Which makes vastly better use of the existing road infrastructure we have. And also could gain some nice aerodynamic benefits for the cars in that train. Now, the hurdles. First of all, we're talking about the car industry here. So you know proprietary is part of the game. that needs to be overcome because DSRC is one of those things that will benefit most. By working out spectrum, bandwidth, and coding to be global and universal in markets around the world. Spectrum, DSRC in cars is in a bit of a spectrum battle with another technology innovation called U-NII where wireless carriers want to open up a lot more wi-fi that they would use for smartphones to move their data traffic to, but it's also in that 5.9 gigahertz ban. Automakers don't like the idea of sharing any wireless space with another service like that. They're afraid it's gonna lead to breakdowns in cars keeping themselves safe. They don't like the liability or the bad pr that could come from that. For their part, the wireless carriers say: look, we could learn to work with you and make sure that our wireless traffic always yields to automotive traffic to make that top priority. The FCC's gonna have to decide that one. Infrastructure, maybe of DSRC's benefits like traffic signal phase and timing would require traffic signal and control center upgrades by perennially broke municipalities. There's the fleet issue. DSRC is gonna work best when virtually all cars have it. But we have a half a billion cars already on the road in the US and the EU alone that don't have it. It will take decades, or generations, to turn them over. DSRC's often described as a moon shot, and that's not overstating it. It would dramatically change the relationship between cars on the road, towards the goad of safety as well as efficiency of road use and fuel consumption. And it would certainly do a much better job then almost all scenarios of the often bored, distracted, ill trained, or drunk vague ware we know as the. The human driver. [MUSIC]

1. Japan in the world economy
Trade and investment are not separate subjects either for policymakers or for businesses. Policymakers know that investment brings about trade and they know that, increasingly, trade agreements and investment agreements are being combined. Businesses know also that in order to increase the growth of their enterprises they have to invest, either to be nearer their markets or to gain better access to materials, to people with skills, and to technology. In this regard, outsourcing and off shoring are merging. These issues are well known in Japan. Japan was a pioneer of fully comprehensive policy action in terms of agency functions, beginning with export promotion, followed by the promotion of inward foreign direct investment, moving then to promoting outward foreign direct investment, and completing the pattern with import promotion (MIPRO).
Japan has a large and diversified economy. This means that it cannot be only a niche player, looking for specialised narrow opportunities to be supported and emphasised. This will not provide sufficient growth impetus to maintain and stimulate the rest of the economy. Instead, Japan must look at where it is lagging in world market terms and take the necessary steps to improve the international performance of the sectors and sub-sectors concerned.
Japan’s share of world GDP was steadily rising from 1970 to 1994, and has been steadily declining since then. The trends are similar if we correct for price changes and exchange rate changes. The only difference is that the peak was then in 1990, and the rise and the fall are less sharp. In any case, a decline in the share is not a problem as such. Clearly as other countries, such as the BRICs and other developing countries pursue rapid growth, Japan’s share of world economic activity will decline, and the same is true for the US and other advanced economies. But a country share nevertheless gives an indication of what is good performance by individual parts of the economy. And given the increasingly interlinked production structures in the globalized economy, the share of world GDP is a good way of looking at things, because the rest of the world is the market, and is also the ultimate determinant of future progress in the economy of Japan. In 2014 the share was 5.9 per cent (current prices) and 8.2 per cent (constant prices). A range of 6 to 8 per cent therefore represents a reasonable performance indicator for Japan’s sectors globally.
Looking first at total merchandise trade, we see that Japan’s share of world exports has been declining from year to year almost in a straight line. In 1995 it was 8.6 per cent. In 2015 it was down to 3.8 per cent. There is some stability in this low share over the last three years of the period, but it is clear that the trade performance does not reflect the size and capabilities of the national economy.
Looking in more detail, we can examine the 3-digit classification for commodity groups in international merchandise trade. There are 255 such groups. However, they are not all equally important. The top 62 groups in value cover two-thirds of world merchandise trade. In how many of the top 62 groups does Japan have a world share of 6 per cent or more? Only seventeen. Of course, there are commodity groups that are dependent on natural resources, such as the most valuable single group of petroleum oils, etc. and Japan can never be a successful exporter of these. But there are others where more success may be envisaged. Aviation and space technology is an obvious example. Clothing and footwear are areas where Japan has luxury brands that are not known outside. Pharmaceuticals is another area with scope for increased share, as is electrical household equipment, the latter especially if it takes advantage of new control systems and internet linkage. Further down the list of 255 trade categories are a number of food categories, which again may offer growth possibilities, given Japan’s technological development in this field.
World services trade has been growing more rapidly than merchandise trade. With increased disaggregation of production globally, fostered by cross-border investment, some services have increased in importance, such as transport and telecommunications. But others are growing independently, such as financial services, of which there are two main kinds, banking (which international financial statistics usually call “financial services”) and insurance and pension fund management.
International services trade is dominated by the United States, which has about 15 per cent of the world market, and China’s share of world services exports has increased from 3 to 6 per cent between 2005 and 2015. Japan’s total was 3.3 per cent in 2015, and it was higher in 2005. Its detailed performance is mixed. In banking its global share is 2.5 per cent, and it is not showing much of an upward trend. There ought to be some scope to increase this share, because the share of other countries such as the UK, Germany and Switzerland has been declining. The strength and global reach of some Japanese banks should offer potential for a greater market share for Japan in the future.
In services exports, even though it has lost market share in recent years, one of Japan’s greatest strengths at present is construction. Japanese construction companies are leaders in R&D and in automation of construction equipment and techniques. Moreover, advances in detection systems mean better monitoring of building use, and significant progress has been made in areas related to care of the elderly.
A big change in international statistics in recent years means that charges for the use of intellectual property are now recognised as part of services trade. These cover licensing and royalty fees. This is an area where Japan is doing well. It had over 10 per cent of the world market in 2005 and this has risen to 12 per cent in 2015. It is nevertheless a long way behind the United States, which still has 42 per cent of the world total in 2015. These charges are not only technology-related, since they include publishing rights or the use of brand names, for instance. Also, multinational corporations license their technology to their own subsidiaries in other countries. But still, given Japan’s technological prowess, there appears to be scope for more licensing of technology abroad.
3. Innovation in Japan
The Global Innovation Index 2016 (GII) , which is an international ranking prepared jointly by Cornell, INSEAD, and WIPO, shows Japan in position 17 worldwide. The GII rankings are composed of a large number of indicators under seven different headings, for each of which the rankings are as follows: Institutions 15, Human capital and research 13, Infrastructure 7, Market sophistication 8, Business sophistication 10, Knowledge and technology outputs 13, Creative outputs 36. These headings cover a range of different ideas, and are not easy to summarise, but the compilers give three: the innovation output sub-index, where Japan’s rank is 24, the Innovation inputs sub-index, where Japan’s rank is 9. This implies that Japan is less successful at realising its potential in innovation, and, tellingly, it is in position 65 worldwide in the Innovation Efficiency Ratio. The EU carries out a similar exercise for its member states and some global competitor countries: the European Innovation Scoreboard 2016. While Japan performs better than the EU, the Republic of Korea is in the lead, with the US also ahead. In global innovation growth rates, China is in the lead, followed by Korea and the EU.
Both these comparative studies, and there are others, point to the need for Japan to mobilise its great strengths in scientific and human resources in a way that allows it to capture more of the benefits of innovation. An important part of this will be cooperation. The so-called “open method of innovation” is well-adapted to Japanese conditions.
Standards in general must also be a policy concern. Clearly standards are largely determined by commercial mastery of particular technologies. But the closer that Japan’s enterprises are to these discussions, and the more forthright they are in participation in the relevant standards bodies, the more likely it is that Japan’s enterprises will see rewards from this engagement in the future. The Japan Industrial Standards Committee (JISC) is a member of international standards setting bodies, notably ISO and IEC. “… Japan is vigorously taking on the role of Secretariat in 50 committees, consisting of 36 ISO, 11 IEC and 3 ISO/IEC joint committees (JTC1). The number of Secretariats assigned to JISC has increased recently, although the number remains relatively low compared to the major countries in the EU and the USA”. Also, some key sectors of great importance to Japan, including ICTs, food and pharmaceuticals, are not on the list.
4. Linkage and FDI
Participation in global value chains is not the only way of doing business in the world economy. But it is the most secure way, because it means conscious and committed access to markets, to supplies, and to technologies, ideas and economic information at first hand. Japan’s total GVC participation is about average, with 47.4 per cent of total gross exports. That is not much different from that of other developed economies (48.0 per cent) or developing economies (48.6 per cent). But breaking down this participation into forward and backward participation shows a very different picture. Japan has a very high forward participation (32.8 per cent, compared to 24.2 per cent for developed economies overall), and correspondingly a low backward participation (14.6 per cent compared to 23.8 per cent for developed economies).
At the sectoral level, very few of Japan’s sectors reach the global average for backward GVC participation. Only Chemicals and metallic mineral products (25.84 per cent), as well as coke, refined petroleum products and nuclear fuel (56.77) are above the 24.2 per cent level for developed economies. This means that it is not a matter of dealing with a few recalcitrant sectors: a cross-sectoral approach is needed.
Japan’s relative position in terms of the global economy can be examined in a number of different ways. In looking at trade and investment, we are essentially looking at how Japan is connected to the rest of the world. The graph shows how Japan compares to other countries in this regard. The horizontal axis uses OECD calculations to measure how much foreign value added arises from the country’s exports. As noted above, Japan has a low value for backward participation in GVCs, indicating that most of the value in exports remains in Japan. The indicator shows that Japan’s exports are not heavily dependent on imports from elsewhere. From one point of view, this is good, because more of the value-added form exports accrues to Japan itself. But from a dynamic point of view, it is not so good, because it means that Japan is not as integrated into the world economy and perhaps not specialised enough. The vertical axis measures the stock of inward investment relative to GDP, and here Japan has by far the lowest value among all the countries.
In general, therefore, the relationship between Japan and the world economy needs to be re-balanced, or, to put it another way, the interdependence with the world economy needs to be enhanced. At the moment, Japan is more at the beginning of GVCs than in the intermediate or final stages. Repositioning Japan in GVC terms means more inward FDI and new and more diversified export markets. With Japan playing a more central role in GVCs it will be better placed to withstand asymmetric shocks to the international trade and investment system, and will have more opportunities for its businesses to find and develop new markets.

5. What else needs to happen?
Japan must build on its many strengths. Japanese enterprises have major achievements in the field of customer care. In fact many Japanese firms are reported as being reluctant to increase their foreign trade exposure because they feel unable to guarantee the same levels of customer care that they could in Japan. Process and product quality is also a significant strength of Japanese enterprise. These strengths have enabled Japanese enterprises to not only export successfully but also to, through outward direct investment, to improve their growth prospects further by delivering to both developed and developing country markets.
Japan also has other strengths that have not yet been fully exploited. The arts and culture of Japan are widely admired worldwide but the commercial possibilities have not yet in realised in anything near their potential. The success of anime and manga in many developed country markets is one indication and in the world of art and music Japanese achievements have been well regarded. However it is clear that more could be done in terms of licensing successful achievements through formal marketing processes, rather than allowing foreign companies just to pick and choose particular items. Arts and culture needs to be showcased through specific exhibitions and fairs worldwide, with carefully coordinated promotion campaigns in media and through diplomatic action and business interaction in order to achieve maximum impact.
Logistics is another area where Japan has been highly successful, both in international trade and investment and also within Japan in building and maintaining effective supply chains throughout highly urbanised neighbourhoods. These skills could be marketed abroad.
Retailing, complementing some of the logistics achievements, is another area where Japan has much to offer. Its strengths in the organisation of the retail sector including supplier and customer relations and represent very high potential sector for further international development. As yet, Japan with the exception of Fast Retailing Co. Ltd. has failed to make much international impact in the retail sector. Retailing tends to be overlooked by governments in general, and is usually not seen as an area for promotion, but it has an important role in encouraging international trade and the development of services.
Financial services is an important sector in Japan. Specifically in insurance and pension services, however, Japan’s share of world exports is tiny, and the combination of expertise, prudent management systems and customer orientation in Japan ought to offer potential for more growth in this field.
E-commerce is part of everyday life in Japan yet its platforms have not achieved a degree of international appreciation or use that have been attained by US and other counterparts. For Japan, it is an obvious channel to increase its exports. While language plays a part in the lack of global reach, there are also design considerations. Different cultures take different approaches to the user interface, and new approaches need to be developed that encompass not only different languages, but different approached to the display and handling of information and the user experience. Existing e-commerce platforms may present too much information in a way that can be confusing, and they often lack the seductive clarity and restraint that is at the heart of much Japanese artistic achievement.
Mobile is another important sectoral development, and the mobile sector is the focus of much attention both as a channel for e-commerce, for entertainment, and for the multitude of new applications that are emerging in the “Internet of Things”. Historically Japan has always preferred to develop its own standards and pursue them. Now it needs to become intensively involved itself in standards development internationally and make sure that it plays a role in determining the shape of standards for the future in this field. This will include adapting to the changes that technology will bring, such as more responsive screens and new methods of user interaction, including more sophisticated speech recognition, and cyber security measures, power management new types of batteries etc.
The food industry is another important sector for Japan. Its progress in this field is remarkable and not yet fully appreciated outside the country. The development of different types of processed foods including health-related and sports related foods, nutraceuticals and the like, as well as complex products that can be rapidly prepared and are suited to today’s hurried lifestyles are achievements that could be very successfully promoted abroad, including though increased investment by foreign companies in the food sector in Japan.
Silver technologies, i.e. those that make the lifestyles of the elderly more manageable and the monitoring and intervention within their healthcare also more productive and successful are areas in which Japan has also significant strengths. With a significant ageing population, Japan has had to not only develop suitable technological solutions but also build those into a management framework, especially through healthcare systems and local systems of public support as well as healthcare cooperatives. This achievement needs to be widely shared, especially in the developed countries which are also or will soon face similar problems of caring for their elderly populations and ensuring not only their health but a vigorous and creative lifestyle for as long as possible.
Energy is another sector where enormous challenges face the world economy. It is also a sector where, in spite of the tragedy of Fukushima, Japan has much to offer the world. Even the extraordinary resilience and significant mastery of the new techniques involved in recovery from the disaster amounts to important learnings from which the rest of the world community can benefit. Because of physical and geographical conditions, the experience of Japan in areas such as earthquake detection and recovery, and in flood prevention and management is varied and of long standing. This again provides a good basis not only for humanitarian intervention globally with government support but also for Japanese construction and civil engineering firms to make a further contributions to infrastructure development throughout the world, especially in those subject to climate hazards. Energy itself and the challenge of continued global growth in the face of climate change, is an area where Japan’s expertise in all aspects is of great potential. Both conventional and nonconventional sources of energy represent important challenges and the restructuring of national energy systems will need both technological and organisational change. In the past Japan seems to have been better at offering technology than in offering the management skills that are needed to best exploit it. Yet the two are closely interlinked and indeed delivering one without the other, and relying on the target market to supply what is missing, is at best suboptimal for both sides. Japan’s commitment to development of the field of energy has been strikingly shown in its technology foresight exercise in this regard and can mean great potential for Japanese companies if they can convincingly put together packages of goods and services that respond to the needs of countries struggling to adapt their energy systems.
Partnership with other countries is always regarded as a good thing and is always acknowledged in agreements as being important. But partnership means different things to different people and there is potential for Japan to increase and broaden the scope of partnership to include the full range of relationships between it and other countries in. A coordinated set of measures in the field of trade, investment, education, science and technology, health, tourism and the arts, can yield good returns in terms of offering wider opportunities for complementarity and self-sustaining growth of the bilateral relationship.
Unlike a number of other countries, Japan has been slow to conclude trade and investment agreements. The growth of these worldwide has been very significant in recent years. Especially now that the WTO process has stalled, increasing focus is being put on such agreements by many countries. In comparison with other countries of similar scale and ambition, Japan has not made many trade and investment agreements and this strategy needs to be urgently reconsidered. It came late to the TPP process and so lost an opportunity to influence the agreement as it began to take shape. That agreement itself is by no means certain to come into force: the political climate in the United States is even less favourable to it now. If TPP fails, Japan will have the difficult task of trying to replace it with the remaining countries. Japan should take a pro-active, leadership role in this regard. A trade and investment agreement with the EU also appears to be stalled and needs to be revived.
Language will always remain a barrier, to some extent, to expanding international trade and investments between two countries that have different languages. With the growth of English as an international business language, at least for primary contact, additional language capabilities will continue to be a pressing need for Japan. But also more focus will have to be put on automatic translation and interpretation and the skills of Japanese academia and industry need to be further focused in this regard.
In spite of the traditional view of Japan as a closed society, there are important links with Latin America, especially through people of Japanese descent in Brazil and Peru. There is scope for increasing trade and investment links through better contact with those whose ancestry is Japanese, the so-called diaspora, as other countries have done, using their knowledge of local markets and developments to foster economic linkages. Some trade links happen anyway just from the presence of a diaspora, but a targeted intervention can encourage this further.
International servicing: a new services trading company should be established to help Japanese companies deliver after-sales service to overseas customers, similar to general trading companies. This could be of interest especially to smaller Japanese companies who are reluctant to begin international activity.
Innovation: a new technology licensing initiative is needed. Firstly, incentives, including tax incentives should be considered to encourage companies to license their technologies, especially abroad but also domestically. Secondly, the present international marketing arrangements for technology should be reviewed and if necessary a new agency should undertake the international marketing of technologies, especially on behalf of the smaller companies.
In conclusion, it is true that statistical and economic analysis may point to opportunities for increased Japanese trade and investment and growth in interdependence with the global economy. However the findings have to be checked against the day-to-day experiences of businesses competing in global markets, and these businesses will have their own perceptions and strategies. Dialogue and open communication between government, agencies and business is vital. But it must be structured in a positive way, intended to lead to conclusions in a timely manner. Speed of decision-making has to increase in line with the accelerating pace of change in the wold economy.

Bangladesh authorities have announced that the Bangladesh and Myanmar will jointly remove landmines along their joint border.
The Daily Star and Financial Press in Bangladesh state that the agreement to clear mines was made during a six day meeting in Dhaka between the Myanmar Police Force and Border Guard Bangladesh. Both groups are paramilitary, and operate under the jurisdictions of the Ministry of Home Affairs in either country.
It is not clear on which countries territory the clearance will occur. Bangladesh is a state party to the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty, does not possess or use antipersonnel landmines, and has not reported to the convention any mined areas within its borders.
Myanmar is a known producer and user of antipersonnel landmines. Myanmar first laid boundary mine fields along the land portion of its border with Bangladesh in 1992, after a massive exodus of a quarter million Rohingya from Rakhine state. (see also Landmine Monitor country report Myanmar/Burma).
The extent of the mine clearance operation is unclear and has not yet been announced in the Myanmar press. One newspaper stated that the two countries would remove mines ‘planted by separatist groups’. Officials declined to name the separatist groups or how many casualties had occurred along the joint border.

L’OMS dichiara che la pandemia cresce come numero di paesi infetti
Fino ad ora, l’ Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità aveva evitato di usare il termine per descrivere l’epidemia che saltellava in tutto il mondo, per paura di dare l’impressione che fosse inarrestabile e che i paesi avrebbero rinunciato a provare a contenerlo. L’Organizzazione aveva affermato all’inizio dell’epidemia che non aveva più dichiarato ufficialmente quando un’epidemia raggiunge proporzioni pandemiche, preferendo invece dichiarare emergenze sanitarie globali.
La diffusione del coronavirus in oltre 100 paesi ora si qualifica come una pandemia globale, hanno detto oggi funzionari dell’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità, confermando ciò che molti epidemiologi hanno affermato per settimane.
“Tutti i paesi possono ancora cambiare il corso di questa pandemia”, ha affermato il leader dell’OMS, il dottor Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, aggiungendo: “Abbiamo bisogno l’uno dell’altro”. Il cancelliere Angela Merkel prevede che i due terzi dei tedeschi siano infetti. Gli Stati Uniti, con oltre 1.000 casi e interruzioni dell’attività, valutano le possibili risposte.

This visualization shows the daily Arctic sea ice and seasonal land cover change progressing through time, with a single frame rendered for each day (available from the drop-down of each image window), and an animation created from these frames.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) provides many water-related products derived from data acquired by the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) instrument aboard the Global Change Observation Mission 1st-Water "SHIZUKU" (GCOM-W1) satellite. Two JAXA datasets are used in this animation: the 10-km daily sea ice concentration and the 10 km daily 89 GHz Brightness Temperature.
In this visualization sea ice changes from day to day, with the amount of ice shown being determined by the AMSR2 sea ice concentration data. A running 3-day minimum is used, with a minimum threshhold concentration of 15%. The blueish white color of the sea ice is derived from a 3-day running minimum of the AMSR2 89 GHz brightness temperature. Over the terrain, monthly data from the seasonal Blue Marble Next Generation fades slowly from month to month.
The numerical portion of the frame filename begins with the four-digit year, followed by the three-digit day of the year for that frame.

چیت چیان:اقدامات صورت گرفته در زمینه انرژی های تجدیدپذیر با اهداف تعیین شده تطبیق ندارد
وزیر نیرو با اشاره به سیاست گذاری ها و اهداف تعیین شده در خصوص انرژی های تجدیدپذیر، گفت: متاسفانه اگر بخواهیم درست قضاوت کنیم اقداماتی که تاکنون انجام شده با اهداف تعیین شده در زمینه انرژی های تجدید پذیر مطابقت ندارد.
حمید چیت چیان روز دوشنبه در سومین کنفرانس انرژی بادی ایران در وزارت نیرو با بیان آنکه برخی این سئوال را مطرح می کنند که کشوری با داشتن ذخایر غنی سوخت فسیلی چه نیازی به انرژی تجدیدپذیر دارد، افزود: پاسخ این است که شدت انرژی در کشور بالاست و عمده مصرف نیز از انرژی های فسیلی می باشد.
وی ادامه داد: استفاده از انرژی های فسیلی منجر به انتشار گازهای گلخانه ای می شود و اگر انتشار گازهای گلخانه ای را کنترل نکنیم در آینده با جرایم بین المللی روبرو خواهیم شد.
وزیر نیرو اظهار داشت: در کشور نیاز به تنوع بخشی در منابع انرژی داریم و این موضوع با امنیت ملی هر کشوری در ارتباط است لذا کشور نباید خود را منحصر به برخی منابع انرژی نماید که در مواقع خاص دچار مشکل شود.
چیت چیان گفت: استاده از نیروگاه های بزرگ نیز نیازمند انتقال و توسعه شبکه برق است که دارای ریسک های تلفات و کاهش راندمان می باشد در حالی که با استفاده از انرژی های تولید پراکنده بهره وری افزایش یافته و تلفات نیز کاهش خواهد یافت.
وی توسعه یافتگی مناطق را از دیگر ویژگی های بهره برداری از انرژی های تجدیدپذیر ذکر کرد و افزود: یکی از نقاط خوب برای استفاده از انرژی های بادی شرق کشور است که می تواند به بهبود معیشت مردم و توسعه یافتگی این مناطق کمک کند.
وزیر نیرو درباره سیاست گذاری های صورت گرفته برای اجرای انرژی های تجدیدپذیر، خاطرنشان کرد: قانونگذار دولت را مکلف کرده تا پایان برنامه پنجم توسعه پنج هزار مگاوات نیروگاه تجدیدپذیر نصب کند، این در حالی است که وزارت نیرو نیز از طریق ایجاد تسهیلات و خرید تضمینی برق نیروگاه های تجدیدپذیر تا 20 سال برنامه ریزی کرده است.
چیت چیان تامین منابع سرمایه ای برای اجرای طرح های نیروگاه تجدید شونده، نقل و انتقال پول و سرمایه توسط سرمایه گذاران در شرایط تحریمی، متمرکز نبودن کارها و برنامه ها در وزارت نیرو در زمینه صدور مجوزهای احداث نیروگاه تجدیدشونده را از عمده موانع اجرای این طرح برشمرد و گفت: وزارت نیرو در حال حاضر تمام مراحل اجرایی احداث نیروگاه های تجدیدپذیر را به سازمان انرژی های نو واگذار کرده و برای استفاده از صندوق توسعه ملی مذاکراتی را انجام داده است.
وی اضافه کرد: خوشبختانه بسیاری از قراردادهای سرمایه گذاران بخش خصوصی برای اجرای طرح های نیروگاهی تجدیدشونده به مراحل خوبی رسیده است. ایرنا

Researchers have developed a smartphone app that monitors a person’s gait, a development that could improve the lives of people with chronic disease.
GaitTrack, an app developed by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the U. of I. at Chicago, turns a smartphone into a medical device, warning doctors when a patient’s symptoms worsen.
GaitTrack uses eight motion parameters to perform a detailed analysis of a person’s gait, which can tell physicians much about a patient’s cardiopulmonary, muscular and neurological health.
Led by Bruce Schatz, the head of medical information science and a professor of computer science at the U. of I., the team published its findings in the journal Telemedicine and e-Health.
‘Fitness apps and devices are tuned for healthy people,’ said Schatz. ‘They cannot accurately measure patients with chronic disease, who are the biggest medical market. A pedometer is not a medical device. But a cheap phone with GaitTrack software is.’
In a statement, Schatz said gait is sometimes called the ‘sixth vital sign’ – after temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and blood oxygen level. Gait speed involves several systems of the body working together in coordination, so changes in gait can be a sign of trouble in one or more systems.
Doctors often use an assessment called the six-minute walk test for patients with heart and lung disease, such as congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Patients with chronic disease often cannot be measured with typical pedometers since they tend to walk with shorter, more careful strides, or to shuffle, so specialised medical accelerometers are used.
The Illinois team used GaitTrack to administer six-minute walk tests to 30 patients with chronic lung disease and found that it monitored more accurately – and more cheaply – than the medical accelerometers. In addition, they discovered that analysis of the gait data could predict lung function with 90 per cent accuracy, within an age group.
‘The original plan was just to validate the software against the standard medical walk test,’ Schatz said, ‘but we looked at other data and found that it matched well with a pulmonary function test called FEV1. Predicting FEV1 is useful because that’s the standard number used to determine treatment. That’s worth a lot to a health system.’
Schatz envisions the GaitTrack app running constantly in the background as a patient carries a phone. The phone would periodically collect data, analyze it and keep tabs on the patient’s status, alerting the patient or patient’s doctor when it detects changes in gait that would indicate a decline in health so that treatment could be adjusted responsively.
The researchers now are testing GaitTrack in larger trials within health systems. Schatz hopes to have the app available for download within months.

22/06/2013 - Nuovi progetti nel settore del trattamento delle acque
Entro la fine del 2014, la National Water Company intende ampliare i servizi di distribuzione e trattamento delle acque a Medina, Dammam e Al-Khobar. I lavori riguarderanno 2,2 milioni di persone che riceveranno una quantita’ di acqua potabile di 809,000 centimetri/d.
A partire da aprile di quest’anno, la societa’ ha in programma 243 progetti in costruzione per un valore totale di SR19.8 miliardi di reali sauditi, di cui la maggior parte a Riad e a Jeddah.
Uno dei progetti piu’ importanti riguarda la citta’ di Riad per la quale e’ previsto lo sviluppo di una rete idrica nel sottosuolo che, unitamente al progetto “Riyadh Water Supply” recentemente completato, contribuira’ ad incrementare la fornitura di acqua per la capitale. Quest’ultimo progetto, iniziato nel giugno 2012, ha aumentato la fornitura di acqua a Riad di 200.000 cm/d: sono stati scavati 43 pozzi e costruiti 46 nuovi impianti per il trattamento delle acque reflue e la costruzione di serbatoi di stoccaggio con una capacità totale di 180.000 metri quadrati.
La “National Water Company” ha anche in programma la costruzione di serbatoi di 1,2 milioni di metri cubi di capacità per il trattamento delle acque reflue a Riad; tale progetto rientra negli sforzi per aumentare il riutilizzo delle acque nella capitale e ridurre la sua dipendenza dalle importazioni di acqua dissalata da Jubail.
Infine, per quanto riguarda il regimi di stoccaggio dell'acqua, la “National Water Company” sta progettando la costruzione di nuovi serbatoi in acciaio per 8 milioni di metri cubi di a Riyadh e per 6 milioni di metri cubi a Gedda; entrambi i sistemi dovrebbero essere sostenuti anche dal Governo.

Look up for a late-summer spectacle: A 'harvest' full moon will rise Monday night
- The harvest moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox.
- September is usually the month associated with harvest moons.
- At moon rise, the moon is often reddened by clouds and dust in our atmosphere.
Get ready for a late-summer spectacle: A lovely "harvest" full moon will rise in the eastern sky Monday evening, Sept. 20, which will reach peak illumination at 7:54 p.m. EDT.
The harvest moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox, which this year will be Sept. 22.
Why the "harvest" moon nickname?
"In the days before tractors with headlights, having moonlight to work by was crucial to getting the harvest in quickly before rain caused it to rot," according to Alan MacRobert, an editor at Sky & Telescope magazine.
Many crops ripen all at once in late summer and early autumn, so farmers found themselves extremely busy at this time of year, according to NASA. They had to work after sundown.
For several evenings, the moonrise comes soon after sunset, the Old Farmer's Almanac said. "This results in an abundance of bright moonlight early in the evening, which was a traditional aide to farmers and crews harvesting their summer-grown crops. Hence, it’s called the 'harvest' moon!"
A visual guide to full moons:What to know about the harvest moon
The Farmer's Almanac adds that since the autumnal equinox can happen on either Sept. 22 to 23, this means that the harvest moon can come as early in the calendar as Sept. 8 or as late as Oct. 7.
So, a summer harvest moon, especially one that happens just a couple of days before the equinox, is not really such a rare occurrence, the Almanac said. "In fact, about 50% of all harvest moons occur during the summer."
September is usually the month associated with harvest moons; they happen nearly 76% of the time, while October harvest moons occur an average of just 24%, the Almanac said.
Additionally, at moon rise, the moon is often reddened by clouds and dust in our atmosphere. Moons near the horizon are also swollen to outlandish size by the moon illusion, a well-known but still mysterious trick of the eye that makes low-hanging moons seem much larger than they really are.
For a real blast from the past, check this out: The harvest moon was the subject of this catchy pop standard from the early 1930s.

Ever since two enterprising reporters for the Baltimore Sun decided, in 1997, to take a closer look at ship scrapping, first at a Baltimore shipyard dismantling a Navy ship, and subsequently an in depth review of scrapping conditions in Alang, India, the light of public attention has been shining on this oldest of maritime practices.
With this scrutiny, the world of scrapping ships will be forever changed — hopefully for the better.
Following the end of the Cold War, the Navy's downsizing its fleet, and the requirement to replace tankers with more modern and environmentally safer ships, the demand to decommission and dispose of obsolete vessels is increasing at a pace more rapid than the capacity exists to handle this demand. Certainly, this is true in the U. S. And therein lies the nub of this debate. Should the U. S. be required to dispose of obsolete government vessels, from the Navy and the Maritime Administration's (MarAd's) National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF), only in U.S. shipyards and facilities? The Clinton Administration, and some Members of Congress, have clearly answered this question in the affirmative.
Between the Navy and MarAd, the Government has close to 200 obsolete vessels to dispose of over the next 10 years, or sooner if possible. Because of their age, these ships contain a number of hazardous substances, including asbestos and solid and liquid polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) - all substances now banned or highly regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Also, due to their age, a number of these ships are in very bad or deteriorating condition, and could well be causing environmental degradation to the very U.S. waters and rivers in which they are presently moored. In the case of MarAd, it spends millions of dollars each year simply to maintain and preserve these ships in three NDRF sites around the country.
U.S. Shipbreaking Capacity
Does the capacity exist in the U.S. to dismantle this number of obsolete ships? Probably not at the present time. And, certainly not without additional financial incentives from the Government to encourage more shipyards or shipbreakers in the U.S. to get into this business. At one time, U.S. yards did break up ships, but this largely changed in the 1980s when overseas yards, including those in India and Bangladesh, took over this responsibility. In these Asian nations, labor was cheaper and environmental standards were certainly lower. At the same time, the price of scrap metal and steel was much higher. (For a piercing picture of the conditions in an Indian scrapyard, see the above-mentioned Baltimore Sun series.) However, after the Clinton Administration imposed a moratorium on the export of government vessels for overseas scrapping, U.S. yards have gotten back into the business.
Consistent with the moratorium, an interagency panel report on ship scrapping, and legislation sponsored by Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, the Navy has recently embarked on a pilot project to ascertain the "true" costs of dismantling a ship in the U.S. in full compliance with U.S. environmental laws and regulations. In September 1999, the Navy awarded four contracts to four companies to scrap one ship apiece for the Navy. The awards were made to Baltimore Marine Industries, Inc., of Baltimore, Md.; International Shipbreaking Limited, of Brownsville, Texas; Ship Dismantling & Recycling Joint Venture (of New Hampshire and Virginia); and Metro Machine Corp. of Norfolk, Va. The Navy paid these companies between $1.8 million and $3.8 million apiece for the disposal of four decommissioned frigates. The proceeds from the sale of the scrap is to be credited toward the value of the contract. If the scrapping at these facilities is successful, they could receive other contracts for scrapping the remaining 55 vessels in the Navy Inactive Fleet designated for scrapping.
MarAd is required to dispose of more than 100 obsolete vessels by September 30, 2001, a deadline that the agency recognizes it cannot meet. However, unlike the Navy, to date, MarAd has not been given the financial resources or the authority to pay U.S. yards for scrapping. Most MarAd ships are being broken up in Brownsville, TX, although one company recently defaulted on its contract. In the meantime, MarAd has had to expend considerable funds to maintain the ships in its Reserve Fleet sites
located in the James River, Virginia, Suisun Bay
, California, and Beaumont, Texas. A report by the Inspector General of the Department of Transportation, issued in March 2000, recommended that MarAd seek new legislative authority comparable to the Navy's and extend the deadline for scrapping its remaining ships. MarAd has requested an extension to 2006.
The U.S. is not alone in examining its ship disposal practices
. Heightened scrutiny by Greenpeace, the Basel Action Network (BAN), and the International Federation of Transport Workers, among others, is forcing international organizations as well as foreign scrapping nations to reexamine their laws and practices. As noted above, the majority of scrapping in recent years has taken place in India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, although China is also scrapping foreign ships
Greenpeace and BAN would prefer to have ship scrapping controlled under the Basel Convention, a regime that regulates the transboundary movement of hazardous waste. Signatories to the Basel Convention disagree on whether the release of hazardous waste from the dismantling of a ship is itself a practice regulated under the Basel Convention. The U.S. has signed but not yet ratified the Basel Convention, but is a participant in the Basel Convention discussions. The U.S., and most other interested maritime nations, prefer to have ship scrapping reviewed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), headquartered in London, and made up of most shipping nations. In March 2000, the IMO agreed to have its Marine Environment Protection Committee look at current practices in shipbreaking, including the possibility of having all toxic substances removed before the scrapping takes place. A Correspondence Group, under the leadership of Bangladesh, is undertaking this review.
For the foreseeable future, the U.S. Government will continue to scrap its obsolete ships in U.S. yards, and will have to pay companies to do so in order to assure compliance with all U.S. environmental and labor standards. The backlog of ships to be scrapped is so great that the disposal program will not be complete for 10 years. The market will have to be developed through financial incentives such as cost-plus contracts. As of this writing, key Members of Congress are trying to appropriate additional funds for MARAD and Navy ship scrapping programs
in the United States.
On the international front, the IMO and other international groups, will force scrapping countries, including India, to upgrade their programs to the extent they can. U.S. shipping companies can be expected to pay their fair share for disposal of their old ships in an "honorable manner."

Are you prepared for urgent health concerns? It’s important to understand the signs and symptoms of a medical emergency and how to respond appropriately.
In this article, we’ll discuss what qualifies as an urgent health concern and what steps you should take in case of an emergency.
Urgent health concerns can range from minor injuries to life-threatening conditions. It’s important to be able to identify the signs and symptoms of an urgent situation, such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, and severe bleeding.
By recognizing these symptoms early on, you can take the necessary steps to seek medical attention and potentially prevent a situation from becoming worse.
In the following sections, we’ll go over how to properly respond to an urgent health concern and what steps you can take to prepare for such situations.
Understanding Urgent Health Concerns
You need to understand urgent health concerns because they can potentially be life-threatening and require immediate attention. These concerns can include chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, loss of consciousness, and sudden and severe pain.
It’s important to recognize the symptoms of urgent health concerns and seek medical attention right away to prevent further harm or even death. When you experience any of these symptoms, don’t hesitate to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Time is of the essence when it comes to urgent health concerns, and delaying medical treatment can have serious consequences. Additionally, it’s important to have a basic knowledge of first aid and CPR in case you or someone you know experiences an urgent health concern.
Understanding and being prepared for urgent health concerns can save lives.
Identifying Signs and Symptoms
Feeling dizzy or lightheaded may be a sign of an underlying health issue. These symptoms can be caused by a variety of factors, such as dehydration, low blood sugar, or medication side effects. However, they can also be a warning sign of more serious conditions like heart disease, anemia, or even a stroke.
It’s important to pay attention to these symptoms and seek medical attention if they persist or become more severe. Other signs and symptoms that may indicate an urgent health concern include chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, sudden weakness or numbness, severe headaches, and unexplained weight loss.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to serious complications and even life-threatening situations. Remember, early detection and treatment can make a significant difference in your health outcomes, so don’t hesitate to seek help if you have any concerns.
Responding Appropriately in Urgent Situations
When faced with a medical emergency, it’s crucial to know how to respond appropriately to ensure the best possible outcomes.
The first step is to assess the situation and call for help if necessary.
If the person is not breathing or there is no pulse, start CPR immediately and continue until medical help arrives.
If the person is conscious, ask about their symptoms and medical history, and provide any necessary first aid until help arrives.
It’s important to remain calm and focused in urgent situations, as panic can make the situation worse.
Remember to prioritize the person’s safety and well-being, and follow any instructions given by medical professionals.
By responding quickly and appropriately, you can help to save a life and prevent further harm.
Preparing for Urgent Health Concerns
Get ready for unexpected health issues by making sure you have necessary medications, first aid supplies, and emergency contact information easily accessible. It’s important to keep a first aid kit at home and in your car, especially if you or a family member has a chronic medical condition.
Make sure to check the expiration dates of your medications and replace them as needed. Keep a list of all medications, dosages, and instructions in your first aid kit. This will help medical professionals provide the best care possible in an emergency situation.
In addition to having necessary supplies, it’s important to have a plan in place for urgent health concerns. Talk to your family and loved ones about what to do in case of an emergency. Designate someone to be your emergency contact and make sure they have a copy of your medical information and important phone numbers.
Plan ahead for transportation to the hospital or urgent care center, especially if you live alone. By being prepared, you can help minimize the stress and confusion that comes with unexpected health concerns.
Seeking Professional Medical Attention
If you’re experiencing symptoms that require medical attention, it’s important to seek professional help as soon as possible. Delaying medical attention could worsen your condition and lead to long-term health complications. Therefore, it’s crucial to recognize the signs and symptoms of urgent health concerns and seek help immediately.
When seeking medical attention, it’s important to be aware of the different types of healthcare providers available. Your primary care physician is a good starting point, but if they’re not available, you can visit an urgent care clinic or emergency room. It’s also important to provide your healthcare provider with as much information as possible about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications.
This will allow them to make an accurate diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment. Remember, seeking professional medical help in a timely manner is crucial for your overall health and wellbeing.
In conclusion, taking urgent health concerns seriously can be a matter of life or death. Being able to identify signs and symptoms of urgent health problems, such as chest pain or difficulty breathing, can help you respond appropriately in a timely manner.
It’s important to prepare for emergencies by having a first aid kit and emergency contact information readily available. However, if you or someone you know experiences an urgent health concern, it’s always best to seek professional medical attention.
Don’t hesitate to call 911 or visit an emergency room if necessary. Remember, time is of the essence when it comes to urgent health concerns, and seeking prompt medical attention can make all the difference.

Unlike other industries where specific tolerances are put in place to extend part and component life or to ensure safe operation, the manufacturing of medical devices is truly a situation where life and death are at the heart of the process.
Different types of medical devices are grouped or categorized under different types of regulations. A metal screw used to hold healing bones in place is less tightly regulated than a component that will go into an implantable device, but the machining tolerances are still extremely tight and must meet high standards with both types of parts.
Companies that offer medical machining as part of their services need to be fully aware of all FDA regulations regarding the machining of different types of medical parts, components, and devices. Understanding the differences required for the various classes of medical devices will ensure that the processes used and the tolerances adhered to will not fall outside of the approved standards.
Companies offering medical machining should have the ISO 9001 certification for general quality standards and control throughout the facility. They should also have the ISO 13458 certification.
This is a specialized certification for medical device manufacturing services. It includes a complete quality management system specific to the industry that can be recognized internationally. This will be critical for approval of the medical device not only in the United States but also for international markets as well.
While every company offering medical machining has to have a first project, it is also the project that will pose the greatest challenges. Since final approval of the device is based on all parts and components meeting specific standards, working with an experienced company offering this precision machining is always the recommended option.

據BBC報導，美國紐約前警察馬丁斯（Eddie Martins）與霍爾（Richard Hall）涉嫌將一名持有大麻女嫌犯帶入警車內，以性交換來立刻釋放，此案也讓「只要嫌犯同意與警方性交，即可獲釋」這條紐約警界的潛規則得以曝光，現已修正這塊漏洞。
報導指出，馬丁斯和霍爾在2017年9月時攔檢一名載著友人的18歲女性，後發現該女持有大麻後即將其上銬逮捕，但在與女嫌犯在警車內性交後放她一馬，並未將她帶回警局列案調查。
隨後，女方後來到醫院檢查，發現留在她體內DNA與馬丁斯和霍爾符合，讓這兩名紐警遭以強姦罪起訴，但隨後相關指控又被取消，最後29日以公務員不當行為等罪嫌，雖然逃過1至3年刑期，仍被法院判處5年緩刑。
紐約布魯克林法官岡薩雷斯（Eric Gonzalez）表示，這兩名前紐警已於2017年時離職，並也譴責警員「涉嫌令人震驚的濫用權力案，寧可見他們入獄；我們雖不能引用新法追溯，且本案中有嚴重的可信度問題，導致我們無法進一步起訴他們。但我們至今仍堅信，被告須對此負責」。

Depending on the type of sarcoma, chemotherapy (treatment with anticancer drugs) may be given to shrink the main tumor. It is called neoadjuvant chemotherapy as it is often given before the tumor is removed by surgery. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for osteosarcoma became the standard of care at the beginning of the era when surgeons began removing tumors and saving the diseased limbs. Chemotherapy given before surgery may help kill more tumor cells so that it is easier to surgically remove the remaining sarcoma.
Dr. Katie Thornton with patient.
Our adult and pediatric oncologists are testing different strategies to combat aggressive tumors, including therapies that target individual cancer cells and varying dosing schedules of standard drugs. They also lead or participate in clinical trials investigating new medications or drug regimens. For more information, see our clinical trials section.

Kültür ve Turizm Bakanı Mehmet Ersoy dış tanıtımlarda bundan böyle "Turkey" yerine "Turkish" sözcüğünü kullanma kararı aldıklarını söyledi.
Turkish, Turkey'den daha iyidir.
Ama Turkey kelimesinin karşılığı değildir.
"French" veya "German" gibi bir halkı anlatan bir sözcüktür.
Nasıl French, France veya German, Germany sözcüklerinin yerini tutmazsa, Turkish de Turkey kelimesini ikame edemez.
Türkiye, ne yapıp yapıp dünyanın en yaygın dili olan İngilizce'de ülkemizin adının Turkey olarak yazılıp okunmasına son vermelidir.
Çünkü Turkey İngilizcede "hindi" anlamına da gelmektedir.
Hindi, eti yenen itibarsız, gürültücü şapşal bir kuştur.
Kuştur ama bir kartal veya şahin değildir.
Türkiye kelimesinin Fransızcası Turquie, Almancası Türkei, İspanyolcası Turquia, İtalyancası Turchia'dır.
Bunlardan hiçbiri hindi anlamına gelmez.
Bildiğim kadarıyla dünyanın hiçbir dilinde Türkiye ile hindi kelimesi aynı değildir.
Bu, maalesef dünyanın en yaygın dili İngilizcede var olan bir karmaşadır.
Değişmelidir.
TÜRKİYE HİNDİ DEĞİLDİR
1964-1966 yılları arasında ABD'de üniversiteye gittim.
Amerikalıların "Nereden geldin?" sorusuna "İstanbul" der veya lafı çevirip "I'm Turkish" diye yanıtlardım.
Yani mümkün mertebe Turkey sözcüğünü kullanmazdım.
Ama kocaman adamdım ve bunu o zaman çok da dert etmedim.
1987'den sonra ABD'ye sık gider oldum.
Turkey kelimesinin, hem Türkiye'nin imajı açısından Oyunun Ema kuralı hem de Amerika'da yaşayan Türk aileleri için nasıl bir sorun oluşturduğunun farkına vardım.
Amerika'da yerleşmiş Türk ailelerin çocukları "We are from Turkey" deyince sınıf arkadaşlarının "glu-glu" diye sesler çıkarttıklarını öğrendim.
Türk asıllı çocuklar arasında bu yüzden psikolojik tedavi görenler vardı.
Durumdan vazife çıkarttım ve 1991'de Hürriyet'teki köşemde "Turkey" değil "Turkia" kampanyası başlattım.
NASIL BAŞARISIZ OLDUM
İki yıl boyunca yazılar yazdım.
İstanbul'da, Bursa'da konuşmalar yaptım.
ABD'de yerleşmiş Türk ailelerden yüze yakın destek mektubu aldım.
İngilizcede ülke adlarının birçoğu Georgia, Bulgaria, Britania, India, Russia gibi "ia" ile bitiyordu.
Ben de Turkey yerine Turkia kelimesini önerdim.
Zaten pek çok ülke kendilerine yabancıların verdiği adları değiştirmişti.
Konuyu İsak Alaton aracılığıyla ABD Büyükelçisi Abramowitz'e anlattım. "Gereksiz bir şey dedi".
Yılmadım.
Kampanyaya devam ettim.
Öncelikle yabancı ülkelerdeki elçilik ve sair kuruluşlarımızın tabelaları değişsin dedim.
Daha pek çok önlem önerdim.
Benim, İngilizcede turkey sadece hindi olsun ama "Türkiye'nin Ingilizcesi Turkia olsun" önerimi Turgut Özal benimsedi.
Ama Turkia değil Türkiye olsun dedi.
Pek tabii tutmadı.
Son söz: Cisimle, isim müsemma olmak gerek. (SÖZCÜ)

Two and a half hours west of Key West by boat is lonely Fort Jefferson, a Civil War-era fort marooned in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico and encrusted in coral reefs. Here the color of the water ranges from cerulean to toothpaste-aquamarine as magnificent frigatebirds, masked boobies, and sooty terns haunt the coral-white beaches of this unfinished garrison, a former prison for union army deserters.
One of seven islands that make up the Dry Tortugas (so named for their lack of water and wealth of turtles at the time of Ponce de Leon’s discovery in 1513) Fort Jefferson is a monument to the ingenuity and industry of engineers and masons who slogged bricks from as far as Brewer, Maine, to the middle of the ocean to construct a fort that has survived in the crosshairs of two centuries of hurricanes. Now, the park is also a monument to the scientific principles of ecosystem management, proof that protecting habitat benefits all—environmentalists and fishermen alike.
In 2001, over the objections of local fishermen, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) announced that it would establish a 151-square nautical mile no-take zone in the area—the Tortugas Ecological Reserve. It was assumed that closing the well-known grouper and snapper spawning grounds of the Dry Tortugas to fishing would hurt the industry’s bottom line.
But that didn’t happen. The fish got bigger. And there were more of them.
How would you feel if you found out the red snapper on your plate wasn’t red snapper at all, but instead something illegally fished or potentially unhealthy? A new Oceana study found that 31% of seafood we tested in South Florida is mislabeled, keeping consumers in the dark about what they’re really eating.
Our campaigners used DNA testing on seafood samples from grocery stores, restaurants, and sushi venues in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach areas. We’ve conducted studies like this in other cities, and the results from Los Angeles and Boston were even more striking—55% of seafood in L.A. was mislabeled and 48% in Boston.
But just because the numbers are lower in South Florida doesn’t mean that seafood fraud is any more acceptable. Some of the fish being served under a different name pose risks to health and sustainability. The study found that king mackerel, a high mercury fish with a health warning for sensitive groups, was being marketed as ‘grouper.’
Sushi restaurants were the biggest offenders, with 58% of samples found to be mislabeled. All the samples of white tuna collected from sushi vendors were actually escolar, a fish species that can make people sick.
The large amount of seafood coming into the U.S. market can make it difficult to trace each item to its source. Oceana is calling on the federal government to ensure that the seafood we find in our markets is safe, legal, and honestly labeled. By implementing a traceability system, consumers can make informed decisions about what they put on their plate.
Sign the petition to fight seafood fraud and ensure you’re getting what you order.
In the latest update from the Latitude, Oceana scientist Jon Warrenchuk describes the ROV’s dive near Key West.
The underwater ridge looked promising: South of Key West, 10 miles offshore and 200 meters deep. The bathymetric lines piled up steeply on the chart, indicating some steep relief in some otherwise flat habitat. As far as I knew, no one had ever seen what the seafloor looked like in that area. We deployed the ROV some distance from the site, trying to take into account the drift of the boat.
The federal government has closed commercial and recreational fishing in a wide swath of the Gulf as a result of the oil spill, which is a serious economic blow to the region.
While oil-covered birds have become an emblematic image of catastrophic oil spills, sea birds aren’t the only ones affected. Oil is extremely toxic to all wildlife, and the toxic effects on marine life begins as soon as the oil hits the water.
Here are 10 examples of how marine life may be affected by the Gulf spill in the coming days, weeks and years

In an attempt to understand the significance of predation in the evolution of prey species, the ecological and morphological characteristics of bacterial species under predation by a ciliated protozoa,Cyclidium sp., were investigated. Serial transfer at 7 day intervals was applied to the bacterial populations in the presence or absence ofCyclidium. Although cells of the parental bacterial strain are typically short rods up to 1.5 μm long, cells of much greater length, up to 20 μm long (type L) were found in populations exposed to predation fromCyclidium. However, the wildtype, shorter length bacteria persisted even after the appearance of type L. Type L was not observed in the singl bacterial culture throughout the serial transfers. Type L appeared to improve the ability to escape predation by elongating cell size, but growth rate and saturation density were decreased.

Le uova sono una ricca fonte di proteine e vitamine e sono generalmente sane da mangiare, se non avete un alto livello di colesterolo.
Si possono mangiare uova crude, bollite o cotte in padella come uova strapazzate o una frittata. Le uova bollite sono uno dei modi più semplici per prepararle, di seguito le istruzioni su come cuocere un uovo in sei semplici passi.
1. Mettere l’uovo crudo in una casseruola.
2. Far scorrere acqua fredda nella pentola fino a quando l’acqua è di 1 pollice sopra l’uovo.
3. Mettere la casseruola su un fornello e cuocere a fuoco medio fino a quando l’acqua comincia a bollire.
4. Ridurre il fuoco al minimo.
5. Fate bollire per 2 o 3 minuti per uova alla coque o 10 o 15 minuti per le uova sode.
6. ogliere l’uovo con un cucchiaio o mestolo e lasciarlo raffreddare lentamente, o far scorrere acqua fredda sopra per raffreddarlo più velocemente.
Note:
Utilizzare le uova sode per fare uova alla diavola, insalata di uova o panini.
Non cucinare di più le uova perchè può causare un anello verde intorno al tuorlo d’uovo a causa del ferro e zolfo nell’uovo.
Ciò non pregiudica il sapore dell’uovo, ma cuocere troppo farà male alla qualità delle proteine.

کیمیا پرس: وال استریت ژورنال طی گزارشی نوشت: با وجود امضای قرارداد توتال با ایران برنامه بلندپروازانه این کشور برای صنعت نفت و گاز خود با رویکرد احتیاطی شرکت های بزرگ فعال در زمینه انرژی مواجه شده است.
به گزارش کیمیا پرس به نقل از وال استریت ژورنال، برنامه بلندپروازانه ایران برای صنعت نفت و گاز خود با رویکرد احتیاطی شرکت های بزرگ فعال در زمینه انرژی مواجه شده است.
در طول برگزاری کنفرانس نفتی استانبول، مقامات ایرانی شرکت کننده گفتند، تعهد شرکت فرانسوی توتال به سرمایه گذاری یک میلیارد دلاری در صنعت گاز این کشور فصل جدیدی در توسعه صنعت انرژی ایران از زمان لغو تحریم ها گشوده است. مقامات ایرانی وعده داده اند 10 قرارداد مشابه قرارداد توتال در سال آینده به امضا برسد. آنها همچنین اعلام کرده اند که به دنبال جذب 92 میلیارد دلار سرمایه گذاری خارجی برای افزایش تولید نفت ایران به میزان یک سوم و 15 برابر کردن صادرات گاز کشور تا سال 2021 هستند.
امیرحسین زمانی نیا، معاون وزیر نفت ایران به خبرنگاران گفت: «دست های ما پر است.» وی افزود، 25 قرارداد در حال مذاکره با شرکت های خارجی است. «ما فکر می کنیم اکنون وضعیت به اندازه کافی برای حضور شرکت های بین المللی در ایران عادی است.»
اما حتی به رغم وجود ذخایر بزرگ نفت و گاز در ایران، دیگر شرکت های بزرگ نفتی جهان همچون توتال مشتاق ورود به بخش انرژی این کشور نیستند.
شرکت های غربی همچنان نگران گرفتار شدن د ر تحریم های پابرجای دولت آمریکا هستند که به بهانه های تسلیحاتی، حقوق بشری و تروریزم علیه ایران وضع شده اند. به طور کلی، روند افت قیمت نفت در طی 3 سال گذشته موجب شده تا شرکت ها برای سرمایه گذاری های جدید احتیاط بیشتری پیشه کنند.
باب دادلی، مدیر شرکت بی پی در حاشیه کنفرانس استانبول به خبرنگاران گفت، من فعلا به جاهایی غیر از ایران نگاه می کنم، زیرا شرکت بی پی قبلا برای سال جاری متعهد به انجام 15 میلیون دلار سرمایه گذاری در سایر نقاط جهان شده است.
دادلی افزود: «ما یک بشقاب پر داریم... ما باید سقف میزان سرمایه گذاری مان را رعایت کنیم.»
شرکت های آمریکایی نظیر اکسون موبیل و شورون هم از فعالیت در ایران منع شده اند اما شرکت های اروپای ای نظیر بی پی امکان حضور در بخش انرژی ایران را دارند. عامل مهمی که مانع از ورود سرمایه گذاران به ایران می شود، انتقاد دونالد ترامپ، رئیس جمهور آمریکا از توافق هسته ای و تهدید وی برای خروج از برجام یا اعمال تحریم های بیشتر علیه ایران است.
زمانی نیا گفت: «تصمیم بی پی برای محتاط بودن در مورد ایران یکی از اثرات» فشار آمریکا برای کار نکردن با ایران است.
سخنگوی شرکت بی پی از اظهارنظر در این زمینه خودداری کرد.
زمانی نیا افزود تلاش کرد از کنفرانس نفتی استانبول به عنوان فرصتی برای جذب شرکای بیشتر به صنعت انرژی ایران استفاده کند. وی در یکی از پانل های این کنفرانس که در آن دادلی و همچنین بری ورتینگتون، مدیر اجرایی اتحادیه انرژی آمریکا حضور داشتند، به مزاح با آنها پرداخت.
در حالی که دادلی و زمانی نیا قبل از این نشست با هم دیدار کرده بودند، دادلی گفت که طرفین تنها در مورد موضوعات مربوط به ایران بحث کرده اند، و هیچ بحثی در خصوص همکاری تجاری نبوده است. دادلی یک شهروند امریکایی محسوب می شود و بر اساس تحریم های آمریکا حق مذاکره با ایران در مورد قراردادهای نفتی را ندارد.
دادلی قرارداد توتال با ایران را یک «نشانه خیلی خوب برای صنعت (انرژی)» خواند اما اشاره بیشتری به این موضوع نکرد.
پاتریک پویان، مدیر شرکت توتال گفت، این شرکت و شرکایش آماده کردن مقدمات برای برگزاری مناقصه های جذب پیمانگاران به پروژه فاز 11 پارس جنوبی را آغاز کرده اند.
همچنین یک منبع آگاه گفت، شرکت رویال داچ شل که سال گذشته یک موافقتنامه اولیه برای بررسی فرصت های میادین نفت و گاز ایران امضا کرده، نگران تحریم های آمریکاست و گزینشی تر از شرکت توتال در زمینه انتخاب بانک های طرف همکاری اش عمل می کند.
یک سخنگوی شرکت رویال داچ شل گفت: «شل علاقمند به بررسی نقشی است که می تواند در توسعه پتانسیل های انرژی ایران ایفا کند. مادر حال تعامل با مقامات ایرانی هستیم اما همچنان خیلی زود است بخواهیم در مورد سرمایه گذاری احتمالی شل در پروژه ای ایرانی صحبت کنیم.»
لاسزلو وارو، اقتصاددان ارشد آژانس بین المللی انرژی گفت، ریسک های ژئوپلتیک ایران، قراردادهای پیچیده و ریسک تحریم ها، سرمایه گذارانی که می توانند به دلیگر مناطق در حال رشد نظیر برزیل هم بروند را می ترساند.

La gravidanza gemellare è più soggetta a complicazioni. E questo si sa. Nel caso delle gravidanze monozigote ancora di più. Ho chiesto ad una mamma che l'ha affrontata (e ha vinto) chhe cos'è la sindrome da trasfusione feto-fetale. Lei si chiama Annalisa Costantino e si racconta qui.
Che cos'è la sindrome da trasfusione feto-fetale?
Questa sindrome è chiamata anche twin-to-twin. Tralasciando la spiegazione puramente scientifica (e anche quella più corretta), in parole povere è una sindrome che colpisce le gravidanze monocoriali biamniotiche (una placenta, due sacche). Uno dei due gemelli riceve liquido e nutrimento dall'altro, ma non restituisce. Per cui, ad un certo punto, il gemello ricevente naviga in una marea di liquido, mentre il gemello donatore si ritrova in una pozzanghera. E' così che la vedevo io quando ero incinta. Nessuno dei due sta bene. In un modo o nell'altro entrambi rischiano danni, anche seri.
Qual è stata la tua esperienza?
Nel mio caso, la sindrome è stata riconosciuta da una ginecologa dell'ospedale di Busto Arsizio. Molto brava, tra l'altro. Non è così semplice da diagnosticare, soprattutto quando è all'inizio. Io ero al secondo stadio. Durante l'ecografia di controllo questa dottoressa ha ravvisato un volume abnorme dei liquidi delle piccole. La gemellina donatrice, praticamente era racchiusa nella sua sacca come in un bozzolo. Il liquido era pochissimo. Mi hanno subito prenotato un controllo all'ospedale Buzzi di Milano, dove lavora un'equipe di medici specializzati in problematiche infantili e della gravidanza.
Durante la visita di controllo al Buzzi mi hanno detto che l'unica possibilità per tentare di salvare le piccole era quella di sottopormi a laser-terapia per chiudere le anastomosi placentari, ovvero i "canali di collegamento" tra un gemello e l'altro, attraverso i quali i bimbi si scambiano i liquidi e il nutrimento. In pratica c'era un passaggio a senso unico, verso una delle bimbe, che non restituiva a sua volta ciò che le veniva donato dalla sorella. I rischi dell'intervento sono molto alti.
C'è la possibilità che sopravviva uno solo dei feti, che muoiano entrambi e, ovviamente, che sopravvivano entrambi. Non ricordo le percentuali, ma in ogni caso, è una cosa che si deve fare. Non sottoponendosi all'intervento, il rischio di morte di entrambe le bimbe sarebbe stato altissimo, con conseguenze anche neuronali nel caso in cui fossero sopravvissute.
La laser-terapia dura in tutto un'oretta, in anestesia locale. Poi ci si deve sottoporre a controlli settimanali per verificare lo status dei liquidi, dei cuoricini, delle vesciche, ecc. Non è stata una passeggiata, ovvio, ma sfido qualsiasi mamma a non fare esattamente quello che ho fatto io.
Che consiglio daresti ad una mamma in attesa di gemelli monozigote?
Le gravidanze come la mia sono tra le più a rischio. Solo quella monocoriale monoamniotica è più rischiosa. Con il senno di poi, consiglio di chiedere al proprio medico curante un controllo in più, piuttosto che uno in meno. Meglio risultare delle rompiscatole, ma avere sempre la situazione monitorata.
Che cosa ti è rimasto dal punto di vista emotivo o di atteggiamento per il futuro, quello che avete attraversato?
Tanto sollievo. Per aver avuto la forza di rischiare. Per aver saputo comportarmi da mamma ben prima di esserlo effettivamente. Non sono ansiosa e non penso sempre al peggio. Questa esperienza ha modificato profondamente il mio carattere, mi ha segnata.
Ma anche in positivo. Adesso mi godo molto più di come facessi prima le piccole cose quotidiane.

Saskatoon company claims solar energy breakthrough
By Design EngineeringGeneral Energy Solar
SHEC says its Concentrated Solar Power system lowers thermal solar generating costs to six cents per kilowatt-hour.
Saskatoon – Tom Beck, president of SHEC Energy Corporation, says his company has achieved a breakthrough in solar thermal energy that reduces the cost of the technology by about 75 per cent, making it competitive with the lowest-cost fossil fuels.
According to the company, solar power produced by existing concentrating solar power systems (CSP) costs around $0.13 to $0.20 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). By contrast, Beck says SHEC Energy’s technology can reduce that cost to between $0.06 and $0.08 per kWh.
“That’s only slightly more than coal, which is among the least expensive of the fossil fuels,”’ he says. “And it comes without the pollution and negative health effects you get when burning fossil fuels, and it’s far less costly than nuclear power, with all its long term radioactive waste issues.”
Unlike photovoltaic (PV) systems that convert light to electricity, concentrating solar power systems (CSP) — like SHEC Energy’s — produce power by concentrating sunlight to generate high temperature (850°C) heat. This heat is then used to boil water to make steam to turn a turbine. In addition, the heat can also be stored in a granular storage material making available to produce power 24 hours a day, except in prolonged cloudy conditions.
Traditionally typical CSP systems have been held back by the solar field’s high deployment costs, which consists of hundreds or thousands of solar concentrators. According to SHEC, its proprietary CSP system introduces technology that lowers the cost of the solar field and increases the efficiency of thermal energy storage.
“Now we finally have a clean, renewable and economically viable solution to our energy needs,” says Beck.

The Differences between Universität and Fachhochschule (FH)
The dilemma of choosing between the University / Technical University and the University of Applied Science to study in Germany has bothered many. Coming from a different educational background, it would take some learning to understand the differences between Universität and Fachhochschule (FH). We thought we would shed some light on the types of universities in Germany:
Getting similarities out of the way
University (Universität) including Technical Universities a.k.a TU and Universities of Applied sciences (Fachhochschule a.k.a FH) have a lot in common: both have bachelor’s and master’s programs. At both students sit in lectures and seminars, write exams and chores, get credit points and grades. At both, you do an academic degree. Universities as well as FHs are supposed to teach their students scientific thinking and are obliged to train them with “employment-qualifying” degree.
So what is the difference?
As a rule of thumb, the study at the university is “theoretical” and “research-oriented”.
Fachhochschule is “practical” and “hands on”.
Although, strictly speaking, that’s not true. After all, there are also some practical projects at Universities, and students also learn theoretical basics at Fachhochschule.
At the university, one meets professors with a scientific career. After their doctoral thesis, they continued their research, attended conferences, published essays in specialist journals and spent a lot of time in a large scientific work – the habilitation.
Professors at Fachhochschule also have a doctoral degree, but they have also worked outside of college – at least three years are required. Before they came to the Fachhochschule, they were, for example, managers in large corporations such as Airbus or Siemens or a medium-sized company. Or they have worked in the administration, in an association or in a hospital – often in a leadership position.
Doctorate degrees are usually offered only by Universities. Universities offer a wider range of subjects (Although, Technical Universities focus more on STEM fields)
Almost all universities of applied sciences have a compulsory practical semester to study, which is completed in one company. It counts as study achievement. Studies at an FH are more heavily regulated and “Schooled”. This is something useful for types of learners who would rather not lose themselves in the lecture lists of the university and therefore prefer given schedules.
But those who prefer to set their own priorities and also want to listen to other subjects would be in better hands at the university.
But with time, the differences between the two are reducing. Universities now offer some practical / industry oriented courses. Some FHs, also have been (or will be) legally allowed to offered doctorate degrees. Some FHs are also teaching subjects that were in the past only taught by Universities.

自叙利亚危机爆发以来，以色列为了削弱叙军的力量，经常以各种理由为借口，出动F-15I和F-16I等战斗机，对叙军目标发动大规模空袭。刚开始以色列的借口基本上都有以叙炮弹落入其境内为由，后来随着伊朗和真主党势力在叙利亚的扩大，以色列又开始以打击伊朗和真主党势力为由，频频出动战斗机对叙利亚发动空袭。实际上在过去7年多的时间里，以色列空袭叙利亚的次数，平均每月都在两三次以上，仅在过去两年的时间里便空袭了至少200次以上。
对于以色列战机的频频空袭，叙军以及友军基本上都给予了默认，毕竟叙军以及友军忙于应对叛军，根本腾不出手来对付以色列。后来随着俄罗斯的军事介入，叙军在战场上的形势也发生了好转，并逐步收复了国内的大部分领土，而对于以色列战机的频频空袭，叙军也开始发射防空导弹进行反击。与此同时，为了反击以色列的空袭，俄罗斯也向叙军交付了大量防空武器，包括山毛榉防空导弹、S-200防空导弹和铠甲-S1防空系统等。

Zika as a Cancer Treatment?
I stumbled across one story this week regarding the Zika virus and brain cancer research that caught my eye, though the research is far from conclusive. Before I really discuss the article and the study it describes, I wanted to give some context behind Zika and its current state.
Zika is a virus that in a healthy, non-pregnant person causes only mild symptoms. It is mainly transmitted by mosquitoes in the Aedes genus, frequently by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, but it is also known to be transmitted sexually. Many who are infected don’t realize they’ve come down with the virus, and very few deaths are caused by it. There are two complications of the disease, however, that make it more than concerning – it can trigger Guillain–Barré syndrome (which causes your immune system to attack your nerves) in adults, and microcephaly (a smaller than average head) and other brain defects in children born to infected mothers. Much of the work around Zika includes preventing the infection of pregnant women, and there are already vaccines being tested for them.
I want to be clear – Zika virus is not yet a massive threat in the United States. It is much more prevalent in South America, Central America, Africa, and other regions closer to the equator. The nation-wide panic and sensationalism that filled the news in 2016 when the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a global medical emergency has more or less subsided. Though we don’t know what the future holds, the CDC is taking measures to prevent its spread around the world and in the US, such as education, travel warnings, further study, and comprehensive tracking, among other things.
Now, what does Zika have to do with brain cancer? Though it is largely a negative force in the world, researchers at the University of Campinas’s School of Pharmaceutical Sciences in São Paulo State, Brazil are trying to use it for good.
Glioblastoma, which is the most common and aggressive type of adult brain tumor, is very resistant to chemotherapy. That means that alternate forms of treatment for it are very sought after.
One newer, promising candidate for cancer treatment is the use of what are known as oncolytic viruses. These are viruses that have been genetically engineered and altered to destroy tumors. This technique is already showing promise in treating melanoma, bone cancer, and more.
Now, these scientists at the University of Campinas’s School of Pharmaceutical Sciences are finding some success using Zika to kill off glioblastoma tumors. They have found that by infecting tumor cells with Zika, the tumor cell is induced into producing a molecule known as digoxin, which has previously shown promise in killing breast and skin cancer tumors. After observing these infected tumor cells using mass spectrometry, the researchers found signs of cell death caused by the induced digoxin. They hope in the future to genetically engineer a form of Zika that will only synthesize digoxin instead of infecting the patient with Zika.
The fact that humans are able to take a dangerous and possibly debilitating disease such as Zika and try to use it as a potential cure for cancer speaks volumes towards human ingenuity and our ability to make the best out of a bad situation. I realize that, like many cutting-edge medical advances that you see in the news, this treatment option likely has years of testing to go through before it is even considered for use in a clinical setting. It has a decent chance of never making it out of the lab. But, still, we are trying incredibly innovative (counter-intuitive, even) solutions to some of our most frightening problems.

What are the threats to the life of the Philippine Eagle?
They are threatened primarily by deforestation through logging and expanding agriculture. Old-growth forest is being lost at a high rate, and most of the forest in the lowlands is owned by logging companies. Mining, pollution, exposure to pesticides that affect breeding, and poaching are also major threats.
What is the problem of the Philippine Eagle?
Philippine Eagles are critically endangered. It’s difficult to accurately determine population size, but most estimates suggest there are 200-800 birds left in the wild. Habitat loss and human persecution rank as the top threats to their survival.
Why is the eagle endangered?
Habitat destruction and degradation, illegal shooting, and the contamination of its food source, due to use of the pesticide DDT, decimated the eagle population. Bald eagles no longer need Endangered Species Act protection because their population is protected, healthy, and growing.
What can we do to protect Philippine Eagle?
To protect the eagles, we must protect the monkeys and civets and other animals they need for food, the plants and animals that monkeys and civets feed on, and the trees that Philippine Eagles nest in, which helps protect the other animals that use these trees for food, shelter, and space.
Why did the Philippine eagle become critically endangered?
According to Salvador, the reason for this was due to massive deforestation. “Deforestation is terrible,” he pointed out. “The Philippine eagle has become a critically endangered species because the loss of the forest had made it lose its natural habitat.”
Are there any Eagles left in the Philippines?
Moreover, the majority of Philippine eagles are confined to just Mindanao, with just six breeding pairs know to exist on Samar, two on Leyte and a few on Luzon. In total it is believed that fewer than 200 Philippine eagles currently exist in the wild. Like birds of prey the world over, one of the chief threats to the Philippine eagle is hunting.
What’s the penalty for killing a Philippine eagle?
Killing a Philippine eagle is punishable under Philippine law by up to 12 years in prison and heavy fines. The first European to study the species was the English explorer and naturalist John Whitehead in 1896, who observed the bird and whose servant, Juan, collected the first specimen a few weeks later.
What kind of bird is the Philippine eagle?
The Philippine Eagle is a brown and white plumed eagle native to rain forest in the Philipines. Though regarded as the Philipines’ national bird it is also one of the world’s most critically endangered and the killing of a Philippine eagle is currently punishable by 12 years jail time.
Is the Philippine eagle in danger of extinction?
Critically endangered Philippine eagle hangs on despite horde of threats. Once inhabiting every island in the Philippines, the Philippine eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi) – the world’s longest eagle – now occupies a fraction of its former range and is listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN.
Are there laws to protect the Philippine eagle?
Several laws provide the legal basis to protect the Philippine eagle against all threats—particularly illegal wildlife trade, hunting or the destruction of their habitats.
How are the Philippine eagles in the wild?
Outside of its breeding facility, the foundation also works hand-in-hand with 37 communities in the region in protecting Philippine eagles that live out in the wild. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature has listed the Philippine eagle as critically endangered, with only around 400 pairs remaining in the wild.
Where are the captive breeding eagles in the Philippines?
Located in the foothills of Mount Apo, the tallest peak in the country, the eagle center was once home to 32 of the birds, with 28 bred in captivity through natural mating or cooperative artificial insemination. Thirteen eagles were released in the forests of Mindanao and 17 remained in the center’s breeding program.

Rebellion, Riot, and Mutiny: Compelling Criminal Trials in Afro-Americana Imprints
Statement of the proceedings of the directors of the London Missionary Society, in the case of Rev. John Smith, missionary, Demerara. Extracted from the Missionary chronicle for March 1824 (1824)
The Reverend John Smith was court-martialed, having been accused of inflaming the slaves and withholding knowledge of the planned rebellion from the authorities. He was found guilty and sentenced to death. He died in prison before a reprieve from the king reached Demerara. He was 33 years old. His death became a rallying cry for the abolitionist movement in Britain.
This statement from the directors is entirely supportive of John Smith and makes references to the many enemies of the London Missionary Society. The directors reaffirm instructions to their missionaries that they “are not sent to relieve them [slaves] from their servile condition, but to afford them the consolation of religion and to force upon them the necessity of being ‘subject not only for wrath but for conscience sake.’”
By Richard Peters, reporter of the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States
Edward Prigg was a slave-catcher who had been hired by a Maryland family to capture and return Margaret Morgan who had moved to Pennsylvania. Morgan had lived somewhat freely in Maryland but had not been legally emancipated. The heirs of her owner made the decision to return her to an enslaved status.
Prigg and three other men were arrested and arraigned under an 1826 Pennsylvania law that forbid the capture and return of fugitive slaves. They were found guilty by a lower state court and that verdict was upheld on appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Prigg appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court which subsequently agreed with him and overturned the conviction. They found that both Article IV of the U.S. Constitution and the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 entitled slave owners to capture fugitive slaves in any state and that local and state officials were forbidden to take any role in support of the fugitive. Because the decision also prohibited any state or local official from assisting in the capture of a slave, the effect was to undermine the act of 1793 which led to the enactment of the Compromise of 1850 which included an even harsher law for fugitive slaves.
A brief sketch of the trial of William Lloyd Garrison, for an alleged libel on Francis Todd, of Massachusettts [sic] (1830)
Garrison concludes this account by swearing to continue to call out all who participate in the slave trade, however exalted they may be. He expresses his own shame “that I have done so little for people of color” and supposes that “a few white victims must be sacrificed to open the eyes of this nation, and to show the tyranny of our laws.” He asks that his “editorial brethren” publish the facts of his trial and “to make such comments as may seem expedient.” He asks for a change of verdict concluding that all of Europe would be astonished “if it were trumpeted in that quarter, that an American citizen lies incarcerated in prison for having denounced slavery, and its abettors, in his own country!”
Was Herman Melville inspired to write the novella Billy Budd by the events of this mutiny? The USS Somers is the only ship in the U.S. Navy ever to have a mutiny leading to executions. The apparent leader of the putative mutiny was midshipman Philip Spencer, the son of the Secretary of War, John C. Spencer. One of the members of the chain of command on board was Guert Gansevoort. He was a first cousin to Melville who may have been intrigued enough with the real life events aboard the Somers to incorporate some of them into his fiction.
The Somers was on its first mission after a shakedown cruise and was heading for the western coast of Africa. Philip Spencer told another sailor that he and 20 others were plotting a mutiny with the intention of using the ship for piracy. His boasts were reported. Initially, captain Alexander Slidell MacKenzie was reluctant to take action, and Spencer claimed he was just playing a game.
The captain and his officers finally did take action, finding that Spencer and two others “were guilty of a full and determined intention to commit a mutiny.” The three were executed aboard the ship and buried at sea. When the public learned of these events there were many questions and many doubted the propriety of the captain's decisions. Hence, the inquiry reported in this publication. Captain MacKenzie was exonerated.
The enactment of the 1850 Fugitive Slave law heightened tensions for the people who provided shelter and aid to escaped slaves. In 1851 Edward Gorsuch, a planter from Maryland, traveled to Pennsylvania to capture three of his slaves who had escaped two years earlier. As he attempted to take possession of them, a riot broke out involving as many as 100 men of color and at least two white men. Mr. Gorsuch was killed. This event became a national story at a time when the country was becoming ever more divided over the issue of slavery. It was also significant because of the size and strength of the defenses that former slaves and other African Americans were organizing for their protection.
Because of its location on the Mason-Dixon Line, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was the first northern community that many escaping slaves reached. Consequently, there were 3,000 or more fugitive slaves and other people of color living there in 1851. It was from this population that men rushed to protect their brothers from Mr. Gorsuch.
This imprint is a collection of related newspaper reports as well as the official report of the incident. Thirty-eight men were indicted by a grand jury for the crime of treason. The first defendant to go to trial was Castner Hanway. The trial, which lasted 18 days, attracted financial support for Hanway from Lucretia Mott, and the defense was led by Congressman Thaddeus Stevens. Mr. Hanway was acquitted. Soon after all of charges against the other men were dropped.

La Svizzera batte il Paraguay e accede ai quarti di finale
La Nazionale svizzera di Beach Soccer vince per 7:6 d.s. contro il paese ospite e si qualifica per i quarti di finale con una giornata di anticipo.
Una rovesciata di Jan Ostgen porta la Svizzera subito in vantaggio. Il portiere del Paraguay regala il pareggio ai padroni di casa: prima para nel tu per tu con Stankovic, la sua punizione, che segue subito dopo, rimbalza sul terreno di gioco e diventa imparabile: un gol veramente beffardo. A 28 secondi dalla fine, la fortuna è dalla parte dei rossocrociati, il tiro di Noel Ott viene deviato in rete.
Nel secondo terzo, il protagonista è Hodel: prima la sua rovesciata si stampa sulla traversa, poco dopo trafigge il portiere su punizione. A 2:30 dall’intervallo, il tentativo di Stankovic rimbalza di nuovo sulla sabbia e si insacca in rete: 4-1 per gli uomini di Schirinzi.
I padroni rimontato nel terzo tempo come già successo nella loro prima gara del torneo e si portano sul 4-4. Il capitano Moritz Jäggy risponde prontamente, i sudamericani segnano sull’ennesima palla da fermo: siamo sul 5-5.
Con questo risultato si va ai supplementari, dove Stankovic trasforma due rigori e regala alla Svizzera la qualificazione ai quarti di finale (inutile il momentaneo pareggio del Paraguay)
Lunedì, 25 novembre, alle ore svizzere 21:50, i rossocrociati si giocheranno il primato del Gruppo A contro il Giappone (in diretta su SRF 2 e in streaming su rsi.ch).

Nanotechnology for the Technical Reader
The earliest and still most thorough treatment of molecular nanotechnology is the text Nanosystems: Molecular Machinery, Manufacturing, and Computation (1992), by K. Eric Drexler. Also highly recommended, as brief introductions, "Revolutionizing the Future of Technology" (Revised 2006) and "Productive nanosystems: the physics of molecular fabrication" (2005) both by K. Eric Drexler.
The first journal article published on molecular nanotechnology: "Molecular engineering: An approach to the development of general capabilities for molecular manipulation," Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, September 1981, is available at the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing web site.
The key concept in the proposal that molecular nanotechnology will allow the fabrication of complex objects to atomic precision is positional control, sometimes called positional mechanosynthesis. Ralph Merkle has written and made available at his Web site the article Molecular Manufacturing: Adding Positional Control to Chemical Synthesis. An extensive technical bibliography for research on positional mechanosynthesis, covering both theory and experiment, has been compiled by Robert A. Freitas Jr.
Nanotechnology: Research and Perspectives is the proceedings of the First Foresight Conference on Nanotechnology, the first interdisciplinary technical conference on nanotechnology. In addition to considering theoretical aspects of advanced nanotechnology, this conference reviewed the state of the art of several experimental approaches that will be crucial to developing advanced nanotechnology, as of the date of the conference—1989.
The book Nanomedicine, Volume I: Basic Capabilities, by Robert A. Freitas Jr. describes the basic capabilities of molecular machine systems that may be required to develop medical nanorobotic devices. Chapter 2, "Pathways to Molecular Manufacturing" (available on the author's web site at http://www.nanomedicine.com/NMI/2.1.htm and subsequent pages), presents an extensive, thorough, and detailed overview of both experimental and theoretical approaches to developing advanced nanotechnology, as of 1999.
"Building Molecular Machine Systems", by K. Eric Drexler, a pre-print of an article published in Trends in Biotechnology, January 1999, Vol 17 No 1, pp 5-7, considers possible routes from naturally occurring biological molecular machine systems to the artificial molecular machine systems that will make possible advanced nanotechnology.
Chapter 4, "Microscale and Molecular Kinematic Machine Replicators" of Kinematic Self-Replicating Machines by Robert A. Freitas Jr. and Ralph C. Merkle, presents an extensive overview of molecular mechanisms and other approaches to developing the basic capabilities of advanced nanotechnology, as of 2004.
Inexpensive fabrication of manufactured products using molecular manufacturing is only possible using either self replication or exponential manufacturing. Early discussions of molecular manufacturing proposed programmable microscopic machines, termed assemblers, capable of building complex objects to atomic precision. Because assemblers were to be general purpose machines that could be programmed to build a wide variety of materials and machines, it was pointed out that they could therefore be programmed to build copies of themselves, and were therefore potentialy self-replicating. See, for example, the article by Ralph Merkle Self replication and nanotechnology.
More recent studies ["Safe exponential manufacturing" by Chris Phoenix and Eric Drexler, 2004, Nanotechnology 15 869-872.] have shown that it is not necessary for the microscopic machines themselves to be self-replicating in order for macroscopic molecular manufacturing systems to reap the practical and economic advantages of machine replication. A desktop nanofactory would be such a macroscopic molecular manufacturing system. An 86.1 MB movie, depicting an animated view of a nanofactory and demonstrating key steps in a process that converts simple molecules into a billion-CPU laptop computer, is a collaborative project of animator and engineer, John Burch, and pioneer nanotechnologist, Dr. K. Eric Drexler.
Chris Phoenix, Director of Research for the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology, published (2003) a "Design of a Primitive Nanofactory" (see Foresight Update 53). Chris Phoenix and Eric Drexler published (2004) an assessment of the advantages of exponential manufacturing using macroscopic nanofactories compared to small self-replicating machines (see "Gray Goo Begone" in the Media Watch column of Foresight Update 54).
