For a first-time go player, there are many excellent online resources that provide an interactive introduction to the rules of Go:
For readers who prefer a more didactic introduction, Sensei's Library has a number of introductory pages:
Learning go is most enjoyable in person with two players that are at a similar skill level. Many areas of the world have a regional go association website that includes a directory of local go clubs. Attending a go club (virtually or in person) is an effective way to find teachers, mentors, and playing partners. (See: Go Places)

The Beginner Study Section is a resource repository intended help novices teach themselves how to play Go.
Go is one of the most difficult board games in existence with a steep learning curve. It is an abstract game with simple rules and an incredible degree of freedom, but the journey of mastering it can involve years of deep study, perseverance, and dedication. Although the game is challenging, Go involves creativity and self-expression, and the endless possibilities are an open adventure for players to explore.

It has the potential to revolutionize the way we teach and learn, improving accessibility and equity in education for learners around the world. With such an anticipated rise, it’s crucial to question the impact AI will have on both the education system, and educators. Like all evolving technologies there are going to be flaws, and how we respond is what really matters. AI will take the pressure off menial tasks of faculty and staff. AI will improve accessibility in the classroom. Ai will help personalise the student experience. AI will introduce new challenges around cheating. AI will redesign accuracy in the educational experience. AI will not be a replacement for anything real.

Space, a popular sky information site that has been tracking the comet via Skywatch, recommends looking north after sunset for the comet’s glowing green tail.
Another time to watch is when the comet will be near Mars on Feb. 10. So even though it’s not at its perigee (closest to Earth) it likely can be found.

Function f(t) n-th derivative L-transform becomes an algebraic product of F(s) and the n-th power of s:
In the time domain relationship between output and input is defined by a differential equation (2.1) . However, when moved to the frequency domain by (4.2) the same relationship takes a simple algebraic fraction form. This form is called transfer function.
It can be expressed as:
Due to the transfer function definition (4.3) or (4.4), the output Y(s) L-transform can be obtained by a simple multiplication of the transfer function H(s) with the input X(s) L-transform:
This simple frequency domain algebraic relationship between input, output and the transfer function makes the transfer function concept such a powerful tool in dealing with complex linear dynamic systems. | block_50 | 1,143 |

The signal public health achievement of the 20th century was the increase of the average human life span. Now, as that achievement helps raise the proportion of the aged around the world, what once seemed an unalloyed blessing is too often regarded as a burden — a financial burden, a health care burden, even a social burden.
“It’s nuts,” said Dr. Linda P. Fried, an epidemiologist and geriatrician who is dean of the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. “To assume defeat from what every one of us as individuals wants suggests we’re not asking the right questions.”

From her perch at Mailman, a position she has held for four years, Dr. Fried is pushing students, professors and a wider audience to ask the right questions and ponder the right policies for coping with an aging world population.
Dr. Fried’s mandate is to lead a school that will give a new generation the tools to deal with global challenges to public health, including environmental degradation, climbing health care costs and the pressure of rapid urbanization.

- If you trust no one, or if you know no one, then dial 911, the operator, the police, a suicide hotline, or whatever number your area uses for emergency assistance.
Remember, it is better to break a confidence and save a life, than to keep a secret. Secrets kill! | From the Teen Aggression and Bullying Workbook , co-authored by myself and John Liptak, is the following information that we believe is important for everyone, and hope you’ll pass it along to anyone whom you think might find it useful.

Visit the EyeGlass Guide today! | As a disease usually associated with aging, macular degeneration is also called age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), though there are other, less common types of macular degeneration.
Macular degeneration symptoms include a gradual loss of central vision needed to perform everyday tasks like driving or reading, and a reduced ability to see small visual details like fine print or patterns.
Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss in Americans over age 60, and presents itself in two forms: dry macular degeneration and wet macular degeneration. Of the two, the “dry” form is far more common. Both affect the center region of the retina, the light-sensitive area in the back of the eye responsible for processing images we see.
Macular Degeneration Statistics
Currently, macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss in persons over age 60. Caucasians are far more likely to lose vision from ARMD than African Americans, and studies show that obesity, smoking, and exposure to UV rays may also be risk factors for developing the disease.
Macular degeneration tends to affect women more than men, and has also been linked to heredity. Nearly 90% of all diagnosed ARMD is the dry form.

Dear Friends of CORAL,
There is plenty of bad news about coral reefs this year, but here is some good news. After years of work by lots of different organizations and individuals, President Clinton has issued an Executive Order creating the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Reserve, the single largest nature reserve ever established in the United States.
While some are concerned that the protection offered by the Reserve is not complete enough, this is certainly a big step in the right direction for coral reefs. One of CORAL's primary goals is to build public awareness of the value of coral reefs and the need to protect them. We are happy that this growing public awareness is starting to turn into action, such as the creation of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Reserve.
Other information on size of the NWHI Coral Reef Reserve:
Approximate Area of the Reserve:
- 131,800 square statute miles
- 99,500 square nautical miles
- 341,360 sq. kilometers
- 84,365,000 acres
Approximately length of the Reserve: 1200 miles long
Approximate width of the Reserve: 100 miles wide.
Some comparisons – The NWHI Reserve is:
- More area than Florida and Georgia combined
- Area about half the area of Texas

Understand the calculation of anodes for ships: How to protect your ship from corrosion
The maritime industry is one of the most corrosion -exposed industries, and corrosion on vessels and other marine constructions can lead to serious consequences. To protect these structures from corrosion, the use of sacrificials is crucial.
Veryranodes are a type of corrosion protection that works by emitting electrons to the corrosion cycle, which reduces the speed of corrosion of metallic materials. Once the sacrifice has been placed on a surface that is prone to corrosion, such as the hull on a ship, the sacrificials corrode instead of the metallic material on thē̙ڗܠ̛ܹ

Veryranodes are available in several materials, but zinc is the most common sacrifice used on ships and other marine structures. By using the right amount of zinc anodes in the right places, you can protect the hull and other parts of the vessel from corrosion.
However, it is important to use the right amount and type of sacrificial codes to effectively protect the vessel. Operaranodes must be placed in the right places and the amount depends on the size and shape of the ship and the type of water the vessel sails in.

Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to erupt, usually doing so in the late teens or early twenties. these are the third set of molars and are located on each side of the upper and lower jaws. Wisdom teeth becomes problematic when they are impacted, misaligned, causes crowding, or there is simply not enough room for them to grow in. When this happens, wisdom tooth extraction becomes necessary.

- Local anesthesia - you are awake during the procedure
- Sedation anesthesia - you are in a state of sleep, but can still be stimulated by touch or sound
- General anesthesia – you lose consciousness
Recovery time from oral surgery depends on the type of anesthesia used. You will receive a list of instructions regarding your oral care.

Sports dentistry is the prevention and treatment of dental injuries and related oral diseases, as well as the sharing of information and equipment designed to help protect the teeth, mouth, jaw, and face of athletes of all ages. Injuries to the teeth and mouth are common among athletes. It’s important to protect your child’s smile if he or she plays sports, for aesthetics as well as health reasons.
Common Dental Injuries in Sports
Tooth knocked out:
- Time is the most important factor when trying to save a tooth, so get to your dentist as soon as possible. In general, there is a 30-minute window of opportunity to re-implant the tooth in the socket.
- Do not try to re-implant the tooth yourself.
- The best liquid to transport a tooth in is cold milk. If milk is not available, use saliva (if possible), saline, or if nothing else is available, water.
- Don’t let the tooth dry out and don’t wrap it in anything.
- Don’t touch the tooth root if you can avoid it.
- Your dentist will likely use an X-ray of the tooth to determine the treatment necessary.

Injuries to the teeth and mouth are common among athletes. It’s important to protect your child’s smile if he or she plays sports, for aesthetics as well as health reasons.
Common Dental Injuries in Sports
Tooth knocked out:
- Time is the most important factor when trying to save a tooth, so get to your dentist as soon as possible. In general, there is a 30-minute window of opportunity to re-implant the tooth in the socket.
- Do not try to re-implant the tooth yourself.
- The best liquid to transport a tooth in is cold milk. If milk is not available, use saliva (if possible), saline, or if nothing else is available, water.
- Don’t let the tooth dry out and don’t wrap it in anything.
- Don’t touch the tooth root if you can avoid it.
- Your dentist will likely use an X-ray of the tooth to determine the treatment necessary.
- For a serious chip that exposes the pulp of the tooth, get to your dentist as soon as possible.
- If a tooth is chipped or cracked, sometimes the tooth can be fixed with a filling or bonding alone.
- Sometimes a tooth is cracked or chipped in a way affecting the nerve of the tooth, and a more complicated treatment may be needed.
- If a tooth is moved due to trauma, see your dentist as soon as possible.
- Do not try to move the tooth back on your own.
- For any mouth discomfort before you get to the dentist, apply ice.
One of the best ways to prevent injury to your child’s teeth and mouth is to have him or her to wear a mouthguard while playing sports. There are several types of mouthguards to choose from, and your doctor can help you choose the best one for your child’s particular needs. | block_25 | 1,389 |

Mathematician Alan Newell of the University of Arizona in Tucson and graduate student Patrick Shipman studied cacti to determine why this pattern is so ubiquitous. The researchers analyzed the plant’s shape, the thickness of its skin, and a host of other biomechanical constraints that steer its growth. When they plugged the data into a computer they discovered, to their surprise, that the most stable configurations inherently follow a Fibonacci-like form. “We show that energy is minimized by this relation,” Shipman says.

In the area of surfaces in particular, chemical resistance is an elementary property that is often required. To achieve this a corresponding coating is required, depending on the area of application. The choice of coating material is especially important here. Because insufficient chemical resistance results in the following negative consequences for the coated component: from blistering to the flaking of the coating from the substrate, loss of sheen and discolouration - up to the complete destruction of the coating. In addition, chemicals can even trigger or accelerate the corrosion of the base material. In view of this, the selected coating must be compared to the specifications and the possible stresses from chemicals.
The chemical resistance of surface coatings is identified via various standardised test procedures. These include testing in accordance with VDA test sheet 612-412:1985. The evaluation of quantity and extent of coating damage and the intensity of changes in the appearance of coatings is undertaken in accordance with DIN EN ISO 4628-1. | block_50 | 1,134 |

Bankruptcy means being insolvent, or unable to pay your debts. In that case, you can file a bankruptcy petition to seek a legal resolution.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which allows you to discharge your unsecured debts but may result in your losing your home, car, or other secured debt, is available only to those whose earn less than the median for their state or qualify because of special circumstances.
With Chapter 11 bankruptcy, also called reorganization bankruptcy, you work with the court and your creditors to repay debt over three to five years.
However, some debts are not reduced by a declaration of bankruptcy, including past due federal income taxes, alimony, and higher-education loans. Similarly, when you hear that a company is reorganizing or is "in Chapter 11," it means it has filed for bankruptcy.Yahoo Finance - Cite This Source - TߟԗՀƤҷѬѤޛ͇řѿٳ

A deep sea clam known as a quahog was taken alive from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean by researchers in 2006. They put it in a freezer and waited a while to do some tests on it. In the interim, it died. When they finally did get around to some tests, they found out it was 400 years old.
The scientists named it "Ming the Mollusc" after the Chinese ruler who reigned at the time the mollusc was birthed. Turns out however, it was actually even older. When we killed it, Ming was 500 years old.
"We got it wrong the first time and maybe we were a bit hasty publishing our findings back then. But we are absolutely certain that we've got the right age now," Dr. Paul Butler, a scientist at Bangor University told The Telegraph.
Their new finding puts the birth of the mollusc less than a decade after Columbus sailed to America. Think of all the history it witnessed from the ocean floor! First wooden ships, then ocean liners, then submarines and transatlantic cables, and finally a grubby robotic hand hauling it into a freezer where it died.

The new study conducted by American Journal of Clinical Nutrition says that regular consumption of fried potatoes can lead to early death. This is really very shocking news as almost all of us eat very often as its tastes good. The French fries is not good for health as these are loaded with carbohydrates and fat. It does not just increase the weight but also a slow poison that is linked to an increased risk of death.
This study was conducted on 4,400 people in North America aged between 45 to 79 years. The team has kept a record of how often these people eat the fried and unfried potato. The team has found that 236 participants died during the course of the study. The researchers have revealed that participants who consume fried potato twice in a week or more had double the risk of early death in comparison to who did not eat deep fried potato at all.

Claw toe deformities are easier to repair when detected early, but they harden into place over time. Splint or | Claw toe normally is caused by nerve damage from diseases like diabetes or alcoholism, which can weaken tour foot muscles. Having claw toe means your toes "claw," digging down into the soles of your shoes and creating painful calluses. Claw toe gets worse without treatment and may become a permanent deformity over time.
Common symptoms include:
- Toes bent upward (extension) from the joints at the ball of the foot.
- Toes bent downward (flexion) at the middle joints toward the sole of your shoe.
- Corns on the top of the toe or under the ball of the foot.

The graphic shows the number of counts registered in the various X-ray energy channels. Each element emits a characteristic energy, providing a signature that reveals the abundance of the element in the samples on the calibration target.
APXS, which is on Curiosity's robotic arm, analyzes chemical elements in rocks and soils. The APXS calibration target is a slab of well-characterized basaltic rock surrounded by a nickel plate. The samples were brought from Earth to compare the APXS reading in the lab prior to launch with those taken after landing on Mars. This allows scientists to monitor and to correct for any changes in the characteristics over the duration of the mission

The Ocicat cat breed is a relatively new breed of cat that resulted from some experimental matings in the 1960s in America. Breeders were trying to produce an Abyssinian pointed Siamese but instead produced a kitten with an amazing coat of gold spots on an ivory background. He looked like the wild Ocelot, hence the name Ocicat. American Shorthairs were introduced into the breeding programme, which brought the lovely silver colours and strong musculature and bone. In 1988 the first Ocicats arrived in Britain. | - Highly active and inquisitive cat
- Sociable and dependent cat
- Somehow talkative cat
- Lean and elegant cat breed
- Requires grooming once a week
- Non hypoallergenic breed
- Outdoor cat
- May require familiarisation before living with children
Although the Ocicat has been bred to look like a wild cat, its temperament does not reflect this. The breed is intelligent and playful, curious and friendly and can be demanding of attention. They prefer, like all active cats, to have company and are very happy with human companions but if the humans are out at work all day having two may help to provide companionship.

Improve the accuracy, reliability and safety of manufacturing processes with artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence, or the better-known English term artificial intelligence (AI), is the simulation of human intelligence by machines and software. This Industry 4.0 technology works by analyzing a large amount of data for similarities and patterns and then using it to make predictions.

Solving complex business puzzles together is our thing. So we’d love to take you through the possibilities for your business in terms of AI and the benefits that real-time insight into your processes and data will bring. Think about improving the way your employees work, your products and processes, and the interaction with customers.
Intelligent ERP: significant opportunities for businesses
Intelligent ERP systems are a great advance on traditional ERPs and can therefore replace them. They offer a new level of flexibility for organizations beyond traditional ERP domains such as supply chain, inventory management and finance.
How intelligent ERP can boost resilience and recovery
Intelligent ERP offers a way to deal with the challenges facing organizations. Think hybrid working, clients demanding more and more from you and the need to accelerate innovations. | Improve the accuracy, reliability and safety of manufacturing processes with artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence, or the better-known English term artificial intelligence (AI), is the simulation of human intelligence by machines and software. This Industry 4.0 technology works by analyzing a large amount of data for similarities and patterns and then using it to make predictions.
In the manufacturing industry, AI can be applied to better anticipate change. This makes it possible to reduce your operating costs and increase production chain reliability.
How does AI contribute to this? In manufacturing processes, you can think about predicting breakdowns and maintenance, which reduces the frequency and length of downtime on production lines. In quality control cases, AI ensures that they are more accurate and structural anomalies are detected more quickly, because an employee performing spot checks is more likely to overlook small anomalies. Or consider inventory optimization, as AI gives you insight into your inventory management and how to achieve more sales with minimal inventory.

This image of an embryo was taken by researchers working on the origins of facial abnormalities, but others are using zebrafish to investigate more fundamental processes in early development. In vertebrate embryos, gradients of a signalling protein called nodal help cells to work out their position along key body axes, like front to back or left to right. Cells receive the signal by detecting nodal with a complex of multiple receptors, including two types of activin receptor (Acvr1 and Acvr2). Developing zebrafish have several forms of each receptor type, whose exact roles are not entirely understood; by knocking out each one, alone and in combination with others, researchers recently managed to determine which receptors are critical for nodal signalling, potentially helping to better understand this process in humans too.

Instruments and singing: Grades 1-8
This guide is for anyone involved with ABRSM’s graded music exams – especially teachers, candidates and parents. It introduces the various elements of our exams for instruments and singing, guides you through the exam experience and explains what makes ABRSM exams special.
As ABRSM’s Chief Examiner, I lead the team of examiners who deliver our exams around the world. Our message to candidates is ‘I’ll do my best to help you do your best’, and I can say with confidence that this message lies at the heart of our work.

Edge computing involves storing and processing data locally, i.e. at the edge of the network, instead of sending it to the cloud or corporate data center. Such an approach can be especially useful when low latency is important—for example, when processing videos from an internal monitoring system onsite at a factory.

Proton pump inhibitors are some of the best-selling drugs in the world. But while their use to treat gastic ulcers, H. pylori, and other pathogens can sometimes prove useful over a short period, the long-term side effects are increasingly controversial. According to some studies, their involvement in neurodegenerative processes like Alzheimer’s is significant. Other adverse effects include a disruption of the stomach’s ability to absorb and digest nutrients, inhibition of the production of stomach acid, disorders of intestinal flora, bacterial proliferation of the small intestine, and deficiencies in vitamins and minerals.

Facts about Down syndrome
Individuals with Down Syndrome in the US
1 in 691
Live births born with Down syndrome
Down syndrome is a genetic condition where an individual has 3 number 21 chromosomes. This extra genetic material changes how their bodies grow and learn.
At the core, a Down syndrome diagnosis includes:
Hypotonia (Low Muscle Tone):
Impacts speech, digestion, fitness, fine and gross motor skills and more. Our participants’ biggest obstacle. Every person with Down syndrome has low muscle tone. If you do not have strong core muscles you cannot sit up straight. If you cannot sit up straight you cannot take proper breaths. If you cannot take proper breaths: you cannot speak or read properly.

India’s staggering new record was set in part because of last year’s Paris climate talks. India committed to reforesting 12 percent of the country’s landmass, bringing the countrywide total up to 29 percent. Trees are important in the fight against climate change because they absorb carbon dioxide gas naturally. Deforestation means more carbon dioxide ends up in the atmosphere worsening climate change. More trees means less carbon dioxide.
This isn’t the only benefit of planting trees: India is a rapidly growing country with a lot of emissions. But being around trees has been proven to have physical and mental health benefits, too. Tree shade also helps lower the costs of cooling a home, which is essential in a country like India, where heat waves can be brutal and deadly. They also help prevent erosion and mudslides.

IN 2013, PAKISTAN SET A RECORD. They planted 847,275 trees in a single day. It seemed like a record that would stand for a while, but now, three years later, the record has been truly blown out of the water. India planted just under 50 million trees on July 11, 2016.

Metals have a large density of electrons and to be able to see the wave nature of electrons one has to make metallic wires that are only a few atoms wide. However, in graphene – one atom thick graphite—the density of electrons is much smaller and can be changed by making a transistor. As a result of the low density of electrons the wave nature of electrons, as described by quantum mechanics, is easier to observe in graphene.
Often in metals like copper the electron is scattered every 100 nanometers, a distance roughly 1000 times smaller than the diameter of human hair, due to impurities and imperfections. Electrons can travel much longer in graphene, upto distances of 10 micrometer, a distance roughly 10 times smaller than the diameter of human hair. This is realized by sandwiching graphene between layers of boron nitride. ThǗٙљшѡƏڮҒĕӇϧܿʑѫɆǍ̊˧ڮɳϩݪկ۳͓؛ĨĬڂĻՠǃźݠہҸƱӢɮۮĶߡϩΜƺđЉґӳ߄Ȧոӛفͺݛ̣ݻ˱ٕ˔ˇڦ˱ޠʕȳԍߕϼɔʂޓʗҀŵȄƧʌĒǬ̊ɣѕˠҭ؊͙Ǜ

Electrons can travel much longer in graphene, upto distances of 10 micrometer, a distance roughly 10 times smaller than the diameter of human hair. This is realized by sandwiching graphene between layers of boron nitride. The layers of boron nitride have few imperfections to impede the flow of electrons in graphene.
Once electrons travel long distances, implying there are few imperfections, one notices the faint whispers of electrons “talking to each other”. Reducing the imperfections is akin to making a room quiet to enable the faint whispers of electronic interactions to develop between many electrons.
In a study, led by PhD student Biswajit Datta, Professor Mandar Deshmukh’s group at TIFR realized just this kind of silence allowing electronic interactions to be observed in three layers of graphene. The study reveals a new kind of magnet and provides insight on how electronic devices using graphene could be made for fundamental studies as well as applications. This work discovers the magnetism of electrons in three layers of graphene at a low temperature of -272 Celsius.

Throughout your life, you will be faced with many decisions about saving and spending. Your goals can vary from smaller purchases such as a new smartphone to larger purchases, such as a car or a house to long-term savings for retirement and any unknowns. There are some life events that you can plan and save for, like higher education or starting a family, but it’s impossible to foresee unplanned expenses. That’s what makes saving important — so you’ll be prepared for any type of expense by having money set aside.
Many Americans spend more than they save, and nearly one in five people are saving less than 5 percent of their income (according to a 2015 Bankrate's 2015 Financial Security Index survey).

If you’re reluctant to start saving or believe it isn’t possible, think of it as a path to exciting opportunities rather than a burden. Chances are you’ll need the funds for unexpected situations throughout your lifetime, good and bad. Here are some basic steps to get you started.
Real-life reasons to save are good motivators.

Univariate comparisons of attrition status revealed that those who remained in the study had significantly a lower length of stay than those who dropped (5.53 and 6.61, respectively, t(218)=2.18, p=.03). There were no significant differences in attrition status for gender, treatment in ICU, and malnutrition. In contrast to these univariate differences, Cox regression revealed that age and treatment in ICU were significant contextual predictors of attrition (p<.04) while gender, malnutrition, and length of stay were not significant. Experimental status did not explain significantly more to the probability of attrition.
Conclusion: Unlike univariate comparisons of attrition, survival analysis and Cox regression provide information about systematic differences in the cumulative probability attrition over time.

The Russian influence took root in the Chinese intellectual tradition that evolved after the Literary Revolution of 1917. When the Chinese communists turned to Russia for their inspiration they also accepted the Russian version of the novel's form and function in society. However, they did not accept it uncritically.

In this lucid study, the author demonstrates how Chinese writers, guided by Russian authors such as Chekhov, Turgenev, and Andreyev, created works of art that are both original and Chinese. However, he also shows that the familiar heroes of such famous novelists as Lu Xun, Yu Dafu, Mao Dun, and Ba Jin have a strong Russian flavor linked to prototypes in the Russian literary tradition.
The author depicts the fortune of Soviet literature and the fate of the intellectual hero in the People's Republic of China. He believes that the humanistic May Fourth intellectual tradition, which inspired enthusiasm for classical Russian literature, has been revived with the publication of works like Dai Houying's Man ah, Man! and Zhao Zhenkai's Waves.

High consumption of processed foods was associated with greater variability in systolic BP during sleep and greater odds of extreme nocturnal dipping, researchers reported.
Unprocessed food intake was tied to lower odds of extreme nocturnal dipping, the researchers wrote in Nutrition, Metabolism & Cardiovascular Diseases.
The researchers aimed to evaluate the association between food consumption by degree of processing and ambulatory BP, using the NOVA classification to categorize foods into four groups, according to the degree and purpose of their processing: unprocessed or minimally processed; processed culinary ingredients; processed; and ultra-processed foods.
“Researchers have investigated the relationship between food consumption according to the degree of food processing and several health outcomes,” Jessica Benatti Ribeiro, of the department of nutrition and health at the Federal University of Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and colleagues wrote. “However, evidence about its association with BP shows that the results are still contradictory, while the assessment of this relationship from ambulatory BP monitoring data has not yet been reported.”

The most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis which can be due to wear and tear on joints from over use, aging, injury, or from an unstable joint such as which occurs with a ruptured ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in the knee.
The chronic form of this disease is called degenerative joint disease (DJD). It is estimated that 20% of dogs older than one year of age have some form of DJD. One study showed that 90% of cats over 12 years of age had evidence of DJD on x-rays.
Other causes of the inflammation can be infectious.

Other causes of the inflammation can be infectious. Septic arthritis is caused by a bacterial or fungal infection. Lyme disease or Ehrlichia infection can also cause arthritis. Auto-immune diseases, or what is now called immune- mediated diseases, such as Lupus can cause swollen, painful, inflamed joints. More rarely, tumors can cause arthritis.
Treatment for arthritis should be directed to the inciting cause if possible. Surgery may be needed to stabilize a joint. DJD may be treated with NSAID's, pain medication such as Tramadol, cartilage protective agents such as glucosamine or Adequan, acupuncture, or as a last resort, steroids. NSAID's (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) have many types. In general, it is recommended to use NSAID's developed for pets, and not ones made for use in people as those are highly likely to cause ulcers in dogs, and most NSAID's can't be used in cats. | block_50 | 1,457 |
Collaboration is the process of working together to generate ideas and solve problems together towards a shared vision. In an interdependent organisation, collaboration is the key to creative thinking. Collaboration is important for getting the best result for solving complex problems. For it to be successful it is imperative to identify when and how to collaborate. This comes with practice. So too does understanding who to collaborate with. This requires an understanding and appreciation of the expertise, competence and character of others. Research shows that collaboration is most successful when it involves people with a range of work styles, differing values, as well as, differing values, cultural, education and work backgrounds. These people will bring truly different thinking and as a result a problem will be approached in a multi-faceted way.

Parent Seminar on “Emotion turnaround: How to promote the EQ of young children” (Videos on EDB YouTube Channel) (Conducted in Cantonese)

Using these techniques, parents can promote children's positive emotions and deal with children's negative emotions in everyday life. Parents can also teach children to see the good in a bad situation, link up praise with children's behaviours, respond positively to children's sharing of "good news" or "bad news" and assist them in improving their problem solving skills, thereby boosting their confidence.
In view of the current pandemic situation, the above-mentioned seminar will be recorded in advance and uploaded to the EDB YouTube Channel in mid-March.

In the past year, Hong Kong has undergone unprecedented changes due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic. Children could not go to school and their social activities and opportunities to play outside have been reduced, which resulted in many children showing more negative emotions and even emotional problems. How should parents help children deal with emotional problems and help them build more positive emotions?
Positive emotions are of paramount importance to children in daily life. Children with higher emotion intelligence have not only more friends but also better academic performance and behavioral adjustment. In this connection, the Education Bureau (EDB) has commissioned The Education University of Hong Kong to conduct a talk in which the speaker, Dr. Ian Lam Chun Bun, will explain how to help children build more positive emotions and demonstrate eight science-informed parenting techniques, including active constructive response, descriptive praises, gratitude journal, exercise and nature, active listening, positive reappraisal, deep breathing and four steps to problem solving.
Using these techniques, parents can promote children's positive emotions and deal with children's negative emotions in everyday life. Parents can also teach children to see the good in a bad situation, link up praise with children's behaviours, respond positively to children's sharing of "good news" or "bad news" and assist them in improving their problem solving skills, thereby boosting their confidence.

The glory days of Northland were the 1950s and '60s. And for decades, malls in general have been an icon of American life.
Today, the mall is threatened by the Internet and changing consumer expectations.
But that doesn’t mean the malls are necessarily dying. As Glinton explains, “They are going through a transition, and we are going to see the difference in the years to come.”
* Listen to the interview with Sonari Glinton above. | The rise and fall of Michigan's Northland Mall
“If you want to talk about the shopping mall, there are two things you have to talk about: the car and Detroit."
That’s NPR business reporter Sonari Glinton, who’s looking into the history of malls for a series with youth radio.
In his series, Glinton used Northland Center in Southfield as "exhibit A" of the rise and fall of the American mall.
Northland was one of the first shopping malls in the region. Glinton says its opening represented the moment of change for Detroit.
“1954, when this mall was opened, was the peak of receipts in downtown Detroit. It's as if they built this mall and said, OK, we're moving to the suburbs."

Wingtip Toys has a website on which they sell their products to customers worldwide; it is the company’s primary source of sales. The website is hosted on a server farm in the company’s data center, which is a small room in the building’s basement. The incoming traffic is distributed among the servers by a load-balancing switch. Richard, the administrator of the site, regularly monitors the website traffic and, as the holiday season approaches, he sees the traffic level rise almost to the point at which the servers are overwhelmed.
There is no budget for the purchase of additional web server computers, and there is also no room for more servers in the data center. Reading about cloud options, Richard thinks that there might be a solution there. How can Richard expand the web server farm to handle the increased traffic for the least expense by using the cloud? | block_50 | 1,083 |

Today Slow Food has joined forces with a group of civil society organizations to call for policy action on animal farming. An open letter has been sent to EU Commission President Juncker, EU Council President Tusk and EU Parliament President Tajani denouncing the problems related to the increasing production and consumption of animal products.
Over nine billion land animals are raised for food each year in the European Union, supplying both internal and export markets. However, increasing scientific evidence has shown that we must urgently reduce the production and consumption of animal products if we are to achieve the objectives set by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Intensive animal farming has a huge range of impacts on climate change, human health, food security, animal welfare and the livelihood of small-scale farmers.
Change can and must happen: more support should be given to farmers adopting more agro-ecological and higher welfare animal farming methods.

However, it is impossible to shift to more humane and less industrial farming methods while at the same time maintaining the current levels of consumption and production of animal products. To meaningfully tackle some of the most serious societal and environmental crises of our time, we need to significantly reduce the production, consumption and export of meat, dairy and eggs.
The EU needs to step up to the plate and introduce policies that deal with these issues and help to accelerate a transition towards healthy and sustainable diets that are higher in plant-based foods and include considerably less and better produced animal products.

QUPES: Tailoring the details of the antenna surface
A reflectarray antenna is a flat or curved reflector surface with printed elements on its surface. Each element is constituted by a chosen unit cell element, defined by certain parameters such as length and width of parts of the unit cell element. The specific design of all unit cell elements on the surface gives the reflectarray antenna its “shape” and the surface its properties, which, in turn, defines the antenna performance. In this sense, the unit cell design of a reflectarray is similar to surface shaping for reflector antennas that may be carried out using TICRA’s POS software.
Around 2009, TICRA was approached by several customers who had an interest in designing reflectarray antennas in our flagship product GRASP. Due to the similarity of (shaped) reflector and reflectarray antennas, TICRA together with DTU – Technical University of Denmark initiated an industrial PhD project, the outcome of which in 2012 became a prototype software.

This allowed TICRA together with partners to propose several innovative antenna solutions, including new types of contoured beam antennas, four-colour spot-beam antenna configurations with fewer apertures, and advanced frequency-selective surfaces, among others.
In 2019, the prototype software was further matured and finalised for commercial release as a new product in the TICRA Tools framework. As the software is capable of analysing not just reflectarrays, but in principle any kind of QUasi-PEriodic Surface, the product was called QUPES.

Novelis reportedly recycles more than 60 billion aluminum cans per year, yet an estimated $1.5 billion worth of material is still being sent to landfills. The company reached a 49% recycled material input in the 2015 fiscal year, and has more than doubled its recycling capacity, but more can still be done.
A recent study by the Sustainable Packaging Coalition found that more than 90% of U.S. residents have access to some form of aluminum recycling program. Though The Aluminum Association's latest data shows that the percentage of aluminum cans collected in 2015 took a dip to 64%.

Beginning in mid-2022, NASA plans to fly the X-plane over select US cities and collect data about community responses to the flights. This data set will be provided to US and international regulators for their use in considering new sound-based rules regarding supersonic flight over land, which could enable new commercial cargo and passenger markets in faster-than-sound air travel. | NASA has awarded the contract for the design, building and testing of a supersonic aircraft that reduces a sonic boom to a gentle thump to Lockheed Martin.
The company was selected for the Low-Boom Flight Demonstration contract, a cost-plus-incentive-fee contract valued at $247.5 million. Work under the contract began on April 2 and runs through December 31, 2021.
Under this contract, Lockheed Martin will complete the design and fabrication of an experimental aircraft, known as an X-plane, which will cruise at 55,000 feet at a speed of about 940 mph and create a sound about as loud as a car door closing – around 75 Perceived Level decibel (PLdB), instead of a sonic boom.
Once NASA accepts the aircraft from the contractor in late 2021, the agency will perform additional flight tests to prove the quiet supersonic technology works as designed, aircraft performance is robust, and it’s safe to operate in the National Airspace System.

As well as supporting the maintenance of the flux tower, WeForest provided the seedlings to plant a new 30 hectare experimental restoration forest comprising a mix of six native species at the site, the University of São Paulo’s Itatinga research station in São Paulo state. Equipment to measure carbon, water and energy fluxes will be installed later this year, along with soil water and temperature sensors, and the flux tower will grow as the trees grow.
