Working principle of ac motor is little bit different from DC motor. Why is working principle of ac motor different from DC motor? In single phase induction motor, when a single phase supply is given to the stator winding, a pulsating magnetic field is produced and in a three phase induction motor, when three phase supply is given to three phase stator winding, a rotating magnetic field is produced.
The rotor of an induction motor is either wound type or squirrel cadge type. Whatever may be the type of rotor, the conductors on it are shorted at end to form closed loop. Due to rotating magnetic field, the flux passes through the air gap between rotor and stator, sweeps past the rotor surface and so cuts the rotor conductor. Hence according to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, there would be a induced current circulating in the closed rotor conductors.

Working Principle of AC Motor and Types AC Motors
The amount of induced current is proportional to the rate of change of flux linkage with respect to time. Again this rate of change of flux linkage is proportional to the relative speed between rotor and rotating magnetic field.
As per Lenz law the rotor will try to reduce the every cause of producing current in it. Hence the rotor rotates and tries to achieve the speed of rotating magnetic field to reduce the relative speed between rotor and rotating magnetic field.
Basic working principle of ac motor, AC motors have a stator which is carefully wired so that it creates magnetic poles in a rotary pattern around the perimeter of the stator when it is connected to power.
Then a rotor is suspended inside the stator on bearings so it is free to rotate. A variety of methods are used to then create magnetic poles on the rotor which will be attracted to the rotating magnetic field of the stator as it rotates, causing the rotor to rotate and drive whatever load may be mechanically connected to its shaft.
Types AC Motors
Three main types of AC motors are distinguished by the methods they use to create magnetic poles on the rotor.
- Easiest to explain is the permanent magnet rotor, where permanent magnets are mounted on the rotor to create permanent North and South poles on the rotor which will follow the stator’s rotating magnetic field.
- Next simplest is the synchronous motor, where two slip rings are used to bring a DC current onto the rotor to create North and South magnetic poles in wire-wound iron pole pieces on the rotor.
- Most difficult to comprehend is the induction motor, where a round solid piece of magnetic steel rotor has aluminium or copper bars embedded lengthwise into its face. The bars are connected at each end of the rotor with continuous heavy shorting bars passing around the two sides of the rotor. As the rotating magnetic field of the stator rotates around the rotor it induces (hence induction type) a heavy electric current into these bars which then create magnetic poles in the steel rotor which are then attracted to follow the magnetic field of the stator.
AC Motors Works
Also note that most synchronous motors don’t generate very much torque on the rotor when the rotor is not closely synchronized in speed with the rotating field in the stator, so they need additional help to get started and up to synchronous speed.
This starting torque is normally provided by induction windings embedded into the faces of the pole pieces which only operate until the rotor achieves synchronous speed.
Still, whereas normal induction motors can generate 400% to 600% of rated torque at startup due to the higher slip rate of the rotor bars through the stator’s rotating magnetic field, the best most synchronous motors can do is “in the range of” 250% rated torque for startup, a consideration which must be addressed in application engineering.
The above assumes rotating magnetic field in the stator, a condition which is most easily set up with three phase supply power. With single phase supply power no rotating field is automatically provided so the stator is wired with a second phase winding set at 90 degrees to the primary supply, and is supplied through a capacitor from the main supply usually at startup only.
The capacitor provides a second phase of power at 90 degrees phase angle from the main power, providing definite directional rotation of the stator field for startup.
Working Principle of AC Motor and Types AC Motors Conclusion
After going through the above portion of ac motor we can now establish working principle of ac motor and types of ac motors. I hope you enjoy when reading this article, thank you.

For India, checking Ebola at the border itself is paramount
Given that Ebola breached even the US’s frontiers, India—especially the medical and paramedical team at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport—did well to contain possible transmission. The airport quarantined, and isolated under full medical attention, a person of Indian origin flying in from Liberia, one of the most-affected countries in the largest Ebola outbreak ever recorded. The subject had suffered from Ebola virus disease, but had been asymptomatic since September, with a certificate of discharge from a Liberian hospital. Though the individual’s blood stream did not show any viral load, other bodily fluids did.
Over 45,000 Indians live in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, the epicentre of the Ebola outbreak. Given India’s public health system is poorly equipped to handle any outbreak here—while the virus did make it out of the US airports, mortality was recorded only in 10% of the infection cases largely because of the superior tracking and isolation facilities in the country—it is imperative for us to stop the virus at the border. The fact that the medical personnel at the Delhi airport tested the patient despite his being asymptomatic shows India is well-geared, at least as far as awareness goes, to fence out the disease. At the same time, at least one isolation facility in each district and two national virology centres dedicated to detection are important, if not optimal, in-fort defence measures.

Utility EDF Energy has extended its £100 million contract with Capgemini for desktop support to provide standardised services for UK sites.
The energy firm, one of the largest in the UK, will continue to use Capgemini for service desk, procurement and managed desktop services including support for email, instant messaging and file sharing for over 20,000 users.
The original three-year outsourcing deal was signed in 2010 in a bid to cut desktop support costs for the firm and has been extended by two years, until the end of 2015.
Gary Rowan, head of Function, Service Management, EDF Energy said: “Capgemini’s collaborative approach and commitment to flexibility were important in order to future-proof the company against developments involving additional services or user numbers, and in view of the EDF Energy investment programme in low-carbon generation.”
Two thirds of EDF’s contracted run services will be delivered by onshore experts as part of Capgemini’s Rightshore delivery model. Some 150 of outsourcer’s staff will be committed to EDF.

Twilight Eclipse and Ring Weekend represent West Point Thoroughbreds in the 2016 Breeders’ Cup World Championships held at Santa Anita Park. West Point Partners from across the country will converge beneath the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains for a stellar two days of racing.
Beloved veteran Twilight Eclipse makes his fourth straight World Championships appearance and takes on a world-class cast in the $4,000,000 Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1). He’s an ageless campaigner who will be a longshot in this year’s edition, but he really couldn’t be doing any better coming into the race and has earned the right to compete. The gelding who has over $2,000,000 completed his final preparations at Belmont Park before flying to California on Sunday.
“He’s bigger, stronger, and broader than ever,” said West Point President Terry Finley. “We’ve been chasing Flintshire this year and know he’ll be tough to beat, but our horse looks like a million bucks and loves the firm turf out here at Santa Anita. He ran a bang-up third to Main Sequence here two years ago. I give a lot of credit to Tom Albertrani and his team for keeping Twilight so sound and happy over the past four years.” Watch Twilight Eclipse train on Wednesday morning at Santa Anita.
Read Steve Haskin’s beautifully written piece “Saluting Those Who Always Show Up”. He deems Twilight Eclipse one of racing’s “unsung heroes”.
No matter how much longer Twilight Eclipse races, you can be sure he is going to give his all every time, while competing against the best turf horses in the country. He has never ducked a big race, despite the quality of the competition, and is still trying and picking up checks in the best races and against the best horses. There is something to be said for honesty and dependability, and for that alone Twilight Eclipse should be admired.
Post time for the Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1) is 3:22 PT/6:22 ET on Saturday. Twilight Eclipse breaks from post eight under Joel Rosario. The race will be shown live on NBC Sports Network.
St. Elias Stable and West Point Thoroughbreds’ Ring Weekend goes postward in the $2,000,000 Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1) for trainer Graham Motion. The 5-year-old Tapit gelding captured the Bernard Baruch Handicap (G2) Labor Day weekend at Saratoga before having a tough trip in the Shadwell Turf Mile (G1) at Keeneland. The biggest win of his career (2015 Frank E. Kilroe Mile (G1)) came over the Santa Anita turf course.
“This horse is talented enough to be competitive in a race like this, it’s just a matter of working out a trip,” said Motion. “Johnny (Velazquez) knows him so well and we’re happy to have him back aboard. After Ring ran in the Shadwell we made the decision to keep him at Keeneland up until Breeders’ Cup week. He trains well on the dirt there and we were able to get him out a flight out of Louisville on Monday. My assistant Alice (Clapham) was really happy with his final work over the weekend.” Watch Ring Weekend train on Wednesday morning at Santa Anita.
“I watched Ring train this weekend and he looks absolutely amazing,” said West Point EVP Jeff Lifson. “Graham had him clipped before shipping West and he’s dappled out and shiny. The Mile is an incredible race. You can make a case for any one of the 13 to win.”
Post time for the Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1) is 4:40 PT/7:40 ET on Saturday. Ring Weekend breaks from post 11 under Hall of Famer John Velazquez. The Mile is the race just before the Classic and will be shown live on NBC.

This photo was taken by a friend, Andy Larsen, at the Disney Concert Hall in LA.** It seemed to me to give a metaphorical image of how our perceptions of ourselves, others, and our experiences need balanced and faithful interpreters and interpretation.
There was a person who fought, "won" and lost in a war, lost buddies, ministered to fellows having similar journeys, then suffered greater losses still: almost life (in thoughts of an ending, and then twice accidentally - not counting the long-ago war), memories, connections, part of a limb, and most frightening of all, a sense of self and identity in this world and before God. “Who am I?”
Picture yourself in the middle of this photo's disorienting scene. However, imagine that you have no exterior streets or plumb lines to balance your person, your perspective, or even the knowledge of which direction gravity is taking to keep your feet on any one surface.
There are times when our lives resemble this photographic metaphor. You don't know who tells the truth and who lies, who believes the truth and who believes the lies. The surface of a relationship, or relationships, which had seemed solid and sane suddenly curves out from underneath you and falls away. What is truth, anyway? The lying ones and the credulous ones assert their certainty over you, and you find one image of yourself impaled by a jagged edge you hadn't seen before from your vantage point. You cry out with no voice: Who am I? Why am I here? Why don't I leave this pain behind? Can I stand up, can I escape, or is it safer to crouch as if paralyzed, my back to any surface?
Losing one's sense of self is like going back to the garden, after the fall, before the mercy. Cold, naked and ashamed, a grey day, on that metallic reflective - but not truly reflecting - surface. You cannot trust the blurred "image" you see of yourself in the metal. You understand you're here - wherever "here" really is – perhaps in part due to your own choices, in part due to external forces, and you can't get your bearings. Imagining yourself covered with your own waste, you slip and fall again and again. Is this a nightmare, a hallucination, the process of dying, a real experience, part of a real experience, or all of the above? You don't know.
You have no control. You're immobilized within scene that moves with you but without your direction, volition or control.
You become aware that some persons' presences have entered your disorienting and disoriented world. One laughs incessantly, the sound bouncing back and forth across the metal surfaces that encompass you, and you don't know whether the laughter is directed at you because the surfaces change the directionality of the sound.
Yet another presence, like an angel, stoops to pick you up off the cold, metal surface, cleans you, and gently places you on cushions that both soothe and warm you. You're relieved, but you feel still out of control, as one stuck in an endless loop of the same scene. You fall back to the cold surface. The laughter continues to reverberate around you. Another presence assists the angelic one, and they pull you back up to the safety of the soft clean, warm surface. You survive, scarred, but as one continuing to question what is real, "Who am I?"
Who are the faithful ones? Who is the Body of Christ entering into your brokenness, cold, waste and shame? Who are the faithful interpreters of this distorted reality? Where are the touchstones which orient you rather than disorient you still more, leaving you more confused and ashamed?
We believe that our answer is God-with-us, God entering our world of nakedness, shame, filth and cold, through the Body of Christ then and now. The bodies of Christ are the ones not judging the contours of and events in your world as indicative of your worth or necessarily attributable to your own action. God listens and remains as you discern the how of the shapes around you, the actors and the acted upon, and then gives you back the choice of "what now?" "Go and sin no more." You step out of the endless, controlling and uncontrollable loop. You find a true orientation in the midst of the disorientation through maintaining contact with those around you who remain true and stable. Your vision becomes fixed on a horizon outside your warped world which keeps you centered and straight. You become a touchstone, too, to others who seek the True, though you know the world around each of you remains broken, warped and distorted. You point out the horizon to one another, reminding one another, steadying one another, and sharing strength.

We were away for a few days and I was so worried about leaving my plants that I am growing as part of the Ice Grow Your Own Challenge! That was a completely new experience for me...showing concern for my little potted garden. I needn't have worried, as although we were basking in glorious French sunshine all week long, Shropshire had quite a lot of rain. I had moved all my pots into a more sheltered area of my garden away from direct sunlight before we left, and thanks to nature's watering, they flourished.
My plants have all grown massively. I have a little jungle growing! The children have pots of flowers and sunflowers which are really coming into their own. It's amazing to see Bumble Bees buzzing around, knowing we are helping them and encouraging them into our garden. The potato plants survived really well and I think it may soon be time to check under the soil to see if we have any spuds to dig out!
Just take a look at my Rocket! It has gone from being tiny seedlings to 'ready to eat' salad! It is my first crop ready for consumption and that makes me very excited! I picked a few leaves to nibble on and I loved the peppery, fresh flavour. Sowing seeds on a two weekly cycle means there is always a new row growing after you have picked some, keeping the supply of salad going through the summer.
I was a bit sad to see some of my plants had been ravaged by some hungry caterpillars. The butterflies that the children had been admiring last week, had laid eggs onto my radishes and they had hatched and eaten most of the foliage away. So I don't think that will be a very successful crop. I am a bit squeamish when it comes to bugs, so I can't bring myself to remove the interlopers from my plants. I will take solace out of the fact that I have helped feed the next generation of beautiful butterflies that my children will enjoy watching fluttering around the garden! Sharing the gardening love with Mother Nature's hungry creatures!!
Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will have some more home grown produce to enjoy...especially if the rain continues to keep everything well watered for me. I am continuing to take delight out of this challenge and am enjoying sharing the gardening experience with my children!

Work should be carried out to establish if nursery workers switching employers poses a risk to the Scottish Government ’s flagship childcare, MSPs have said.
Ministers had pledged to increase the amount of free early learning and childcare eligible pre-school children receive to 1,140 hours a year – with this achieved across Scotland by August 2021.
A Holyrood Committee said while meeting the 1,140 hours target had been delayed because of coronavirus, the policy had been “rolled out despite the challenging circumstances of the pandemic”.
But the MSPs have now written to Education Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville urging a “mapping exercise” be carried out across the sector.
They made the call after hearing from the National Day Nurseries Association of a “crisis” in the early learning and childcare workforce caused by an expansion in the local authority sector and the pandemic.
The MSPs told Somerville the hourly rates paid to childcare workers in both the private, voluntary and independent (PVI) sector should be examined, and those working in council-run facilities.
This should also look at “the extent to which to which staff are moving from jobs in the PVI sector into local authorities”.
The committee said: “This would allow the Scottish Government to establish whether there is a risk to the delivery of the 1,140 policy due to staff capacity in the PVI sector.”
The committee had previously heard from council body Cosla that the 2022-23 Scottish budget included a 4% reduction in specific revenue grant funding for local authorities to implement the policy.
While Cosla accepted the “rationale for the reduction in funds was based on a national reduction in the number of eligible children”, it added that councils had “significant fixed costs which are rising faster than anticipated owing to inflationary pressures”.
It highlighted that a “reduction of a small number of children at an individual setting level will not allow for any reduction in costs relating to staffing, or costs relating to the building such as heating and cleaning”.

Concert for George
ONE NIGHT ONLY GLOBAL EVENT:
On the 29th of November 2002, one year to the day that George Harrison left us, his closest friends gathered at the Royal Albert Hall to celebrate his life in the only way they knew how - by playing his music. This legendary tribute concert features performances by Eric Clapton, Joe Brown, Dhani Harrison, Jools Holland, Jeff Lynne, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Monty Python, Ravi & Anoushka Shankar, Ringo Starr and more. Presented for the first time ever in 2k and 5.1 sound to give fans the ultimate theatrical experience. This theatrical event coincides with the celebration of George Harrison's 75th birthday on February 25.
UK | USA
- "It offers a special "something" for everyone who ever appreciated the Quiet Beatle's musical gifts and spiritual explorations."
- Washington Post
- "The jamboree is beautifully shot and directed, by Chris Menges and David Leland respectively, and there is a haunting touch: the presence of George’s son, Dhani, on guitar, looking near-identical to his dad in his twenties."
- NewYork Magazine (Vulture)
- "The sweet, solemn music of George Harrison, who died two years ago, has rarely sounded more majestic than in the sweeping performances of the enlarged star-studded band that gathered in London at Royal Albert Hall on Nov. 29 to commemorate his legacy."

text: While the US is considered to be the pre-eminent democracy by the rest of the world, in terms of voter participation, we are rank in the bottom half of developed democracies. This can at least be partially attributed to one rather insipid detail, the fact that we vote on a work day. Looking back, the deeply ingrained tradition of voting on Tuesday comes from a law going back to 1840's! This is back when it took about over a day (with a horse and buggy) to reach the nearest polling station if you were a farmer. Work ended on Friday, but travel on the Sabbath was religiously proscribed, so Tuesday was adopted as the standard day for voting. This law needs to change to adjust for the modern times, where we can use cars to get to a voting booth in a matter of minutes. Voting on a weekend, I am sure, will definitely increase voter turnout in election all over the US, which, in turn, would make our society much more democratic and eliminate any religious bias.

ESTIMATION OF THE GENETIC COEFFICIENTS OF THE CERES-MAIZE MODEL FOR THE SIMULATION OF YIELD BY NON-DESTRUCTIVE METHODS
Palabras clave:Keywords: Dynamic crop models, model parameters, leaf area index–LAI, days to anthesis, days to physiological maturity.
The Crop Environment Resource Synthesis-Maize (CERES-Maize) mechanistic model, included in the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT), is a useful and powerful tool that simulates the growth and grain yield of maize in different environments. The qualitative and quantitative information provided to the CERES-Maize model guarantees reliability in the simulations obtained. However, it requires a lot of information, including soil characteristics, daily climate, crop characteristics and management, and six genetic coefficients. The objective of this research was to assess a non-destructive methodology for estimating the six genetic coefficients P1, P2, P5, G2, G3 (associated with plant maturity stages) and Phyllochron interval (PHINT), based on the maize physiology and measured by the Growing Degree Days (GDD), base 10. Two experiments were established at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) experimental station in Tlaltizapan, Morelos, Mexico, where 27 white and 14 yellow maize hybrids were manually sown in an irrigation conservation tillage system. Once the maize growth and grain yield simulations were obtained with CERES-Maize model, the genetic coefficients were calibrated using the Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE). After calibration of the six genetic coefficients for all hybrids, average values of P1, G2, and G3 were within the typical range, while P2 and P5 were greater than the typical range and PHINT was below typical range. However, the simulation model showed good performance after calibration, with an average R2 of 0.9809 and 0.9730 between measured and simulated grain yields for white and yellow hybrids, respectively. The coefficients estimated in this study can be used in the CERES-Maize model to simulate grain yields for the hybrids used in different regions of the country.

CHICAGO (CBS) — Documents released Friday detail what Advocate Christ Medical Center did wrong when a baby, cut from his mother’s womb, was taken there in April.
The hospital was found in compliance with the Medicare conditions of participation, but the hospital was not in compliance with standards for hospitals — a violation, but not as severe.READ MORE: Derek Chauvin Trial, April 19 Live Updates: Attorneys Make Closing Arguments In Death Of George Floyd
Police and prosecutors say 46-year-old Clarisa Figueroa and her 24-year-old daughter Desiree strangled Marlen Ochoa and cut her unborn baby from her womb, then passed the infant off as Clarisa’s. Shortly after she allegedly killed Ochoa, Figueroa called 911 to report she had just given birth and that the baby was in distress.
But newly released documents reveal there was a breakdown in communication between police and hospital staff.
Two weeks after, a social worker wrote, “I was in my office and the (doctor) came into my office and asked, ‘should this mother be making decisions on the baby because it may not be the baby’s mother’ … I did not now know what the doctor was talking about.”
The chief medical officer told investigators, “No one from the Administration or a Public Safety Officer knew that the CPD was in the building interviewing staff.”
“We (the Hospital Administration) heard about it on the news that a warrant for arrest (for Pt. #1) had been issued. The Administration had no direct communication with CPD.”
Since the hospital did not violate any Medicare requirements, there is no real punishment, but the hospital plans on making improvements to their communications with CPD when officers are in the hospital.
After nearly two months on life support, Ochoa’s baby, Yovanny Lopez, died Friday morning in his father’s arms, family spokeswoman Julie Contreras said.READ MORE: Watch The Derek Chauvin Trial Live
“He is an angel, and he’s in his mom’s arms now,” Contreras said. “His father was able to hold him in his last minutes.”
The baby was not pulled off life support but rather died of natural causes.
“He is the victim of a heinous crime. He was ripped from the womb of his mother,” Contreras said. “If the Cook County State’s Attorney is listening to this, these criminals must be held – to the full extent of the law – accountable for his death,” she said.
The Figueroas were formally indicted earlier this week for first-degree murder in Ochoa’s slaying. The elder Figueroa’s boyfriend, Piotr Bobak, is charged with concealing a homicide.
The Cook County State’s Attorney’s office said it will make a final determination on any additional charges after the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office and Chicago Police Department complete their investigations.
Prosecutors have said the Figueroas plotted for weeks to kill Ochoa and steal her baby.
The baby’s real identity was not revealed for three weeks, after police investigating Ochoa’s disappearance conducted a DNA test on the baby and confirmed he is Ochoa’s. Detectives later found Ochoa’s body stuffed in a trash can at the Figueroas’ home.
Contreras said the family will have a private funeral for Yovanny.MORE NEWS: Darnell Anderson Sentenced To 17 Years For Carjacking At Oak Brook Mall
The Figueroas and Bobak are due back in court June 26.

Recently the dreaded E.U. Super-state has said that it wants to retain the rights to fish our waters as part of any final agreement.
Speaking on BBC’s Sunday Politics Brexiteer Nigel Farage has raised alarm over an imminent EU stitch-up over Brexit, after leaders in Brussels promised to hand the UK a better deal if the British compromise.
It all sounds very much like the Cabinet have not agreed any RED LINES for the Brexit negotiations and are therefore preparing to give away anything and thus compromise our British sovereignty, banking and world trade freedoms to arrive at a deal which will almost certainly leave Britain tied to the EU for many years to come.

Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson first showed the world that women can rock when their band, Heart, stormed the charts in the ‘70’s with hits like “Crazy on You,” “Magic Man,” “Barracuda,” “Straight On,” and so many more. Not only did the Wilson sisters lead the band, they wrote the songs and played the instruments too, making them the first women in rock to do so. Heart continued topping the charts through the ‘80’s and ‘90’s with huge hits like “These Dreams,” “Alone,” “What About Love,” “If Looks Could Kill,” “Never,” and a string of other hits that showcased the sisters’ enormous talents as musicians and singers.
Along the way, music by Ann and Nancy Wilson and their band Heart sold more than 35 million albums, sold out arenas worldwide, and found their way into the soundtrack of American life through radio, motion pictures, television, and associations with branded sponsors. Today, songs made famous by Heart are heard in every aspect of contemporary culture.
Nearly 35 years after their first big hit, Ann and Nancy Wilson were back in the Billboard Top 10 in 2010 with Heart’s “Red Velvet Car” album, and a Top 5 DVD (“Night at Sky Church”). 2012’s “Fanatic” continued Heart’s current chart success, spawning two hit singles (“Fanatic” and “Dear Old America”) and debuting in the Billboard Top 25. They also released a comprehensive CD box set entitled “Strange Euphoria,” filled with rarities and previously unreleased treasures that met with acclaim from critics and fans alike.

|Community Land Act (UK)|
This Act, passed in 1975, envisaged local authorities becoming, by stages, monopoly landowners in development land. Its purpose was to 'restore to the community the increase in the value of land arising from its efforts'. The 'First Appointed Day' made in 1976 under the Act empowered tlie local authorities to acquire land by compulsory purchase. The local authorities were enabled to buy land free of a new development land tax and sell it again at the full market price. (The development land tax came into operation in 1976, and is currently set at 60 per cent.) The philosophy of the Community Land Act has a long history; most immediately, that of the Land Commission, which was set up in 1967 and lasted until 1971, primarily to - collect a betterment levy charged on 'socially created values', hut also to acquire and control the supply of potentially developable land. Similarly in 1947 a Central Land Board had been set up by the Town and 'Country Planning Act which taxed development renta) profits by 100 per cent.

In the United States, a 50-year-old woman has been diagnosed with a rare type of cancer associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection after suffering an accident during her manicure.
At the time, the professional accidentally made a deep cut in the client’s cuticle, which did not heal properly and acted as an entry point for the virus. Months after the accident, the lesion has become skin cancer — stage 1 squamous cell carcinoma.
Today the patient Grace Garcia, of California, is doing well and successfully underwent surgery to remove the cancer from his finger. The diagnosis being early, she did not need to undergo radiotherapy sessions.
To understand the origin of North American skin cancer, it should be mentioned that in November 2021, the patient went to a manicure and suffered an injury at the base of the cuticle.
Because of this, he went through doctors, but the wound did not seem to heal properly. Then there was a kind of wart dark at the site of injury.
In April 2021, the patient came to see dermatologist Teo Soleymani, from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), who requested a biopsy of the “wart”. According to the doctor, the cancer was squamous cell carcinoma, which is less aggressive than melanoma – another type of skin cancer.
However, the cause was strangely unusual: a strain of HPV in the nail area. Indeed, normally, this type of virus causes other types of tumors, such as cervical cancer, not affecting the fingers of patients.
This type of cancer “is very rare for several reasons. The strains that cause HPV-associated cancer tend to be sexually transmitted,” Soleymani tells the paper. Today.
“In Grace’s case, she had an injury, which became the gateway. That thick skin that we have on our hands and feet that works as a natural barrier against infections and things like that, she was gone, and the virus managed to infect her skin,” he adds.
“His case was still interesting, because the evolution of the disease lasted about three months, much shorter than the [tempo médio dos primeiros sinais do] squamous cell carcinoma”, completes the doctor.


In the field of aviation, numerous technologies and devices play crucial roles in ensuring the safety and efficiency of aircraft operations. One such device is the Rotary Variable Differential Transformer (RVDT), which serves as a vital component in various aviation systems. The RVDT is an electromechanical transducer that converts mechanical rotary motion into a proportional electrical signal. It is commonly used in aviation applications to measure angular displacement, rotational speed, and position, making it an essential instrument for flight control systems, thrust management, and other critical aircraft operations.
As an RVDT operates based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, it offers several advantages in aviation applications. The device is highly accurate and reliable, allowing precise measurements to be obtained in real-time. Additionally, the RVDT has a wide range of rotational motion, making it suitable for various aircraft components and systems that require monitoring or control based on angular displacement or position.
Aviation systems heavily rely on RVDTs for their numerous functionalities. One of the key applications of RVDTs in aviation is in flight control systems. These systems are responsible for maintaining the stability and maneuverability of an aircraft during flight, and RVDTs play a crucial role in providing accurate feedback on the position and movement of various control surfaces such as ailerons, elevators, and rudders.
The Role of RVDT in Flight Control Systems
In aviation, flight control systems are designed to ensure the safe and precise control of an aircraft’s movement and orientation. These systems rely on various sensors and transducers, including RVDTs, to gather crucial data and provide real-time feedback to the pilot and the flight control computer.
RVDTs are commonly used in flight control systems to measure the angular displacement and position of control surfaces. These surfaces, such as ailerons, elevators, and rudders, are responsible for controlling the roll, pitch, and yaw of an aircraft. By accurately sensing the position of these surfaces, RVDTs allow the flight control system to make necessary adjustments to maintain stability and ensure proper response to pilot inputs.
The RVDT’s ability to provide precise and reliable measurements is particularly crucial in fly-by-wire systems, where electronic signals replace traditional mechanical controls. In these systems, RVDTs play a vital role in converting the mechanical motion of control surfaces into electrical signals that are then processed by the flight control computer. This enables the pilot’s inputs to be translated into the appropriate control surface movements, ensuring smooth and accurate aircraft control.
Moreover, RVDTs are also utilized in thrust management systems, which are responsible for optimizing the thrust produced by aircraft engines. By monitoring the rotational speed and position of engine components such as the turbine and compressor, RVDTs provide vital data that allows the engine control system to adjust fuel flow and optimize engine performance for various flight conditions.
Advancements in RVDT Technology
Over the years, RVDT technology has seen significant advancements, leading to improved performance, reliability, and versatility in aviation applications. Some notable advancements include:
1. Digital RVDTs: In recent years, the introduction of digital RVDTs has revolutionized the aviation industry. These RVDTs offer enhanced accuracy, improved signal processing capabilities, and better integration with modern flight control systems. Digital RVDTs utilize digital output signals, allowing for easier communication with various avionics systems and reducing the susceptibility to electrical noise.
2. Miniature RVDTs: The development of miniature RVDTs has enabled their integration into smaller, space-constrained aviation systems. These compact RVDTs maintain the same accuracy and functionality as their larger counterparts, making them suitable for applications where size and weight are critical, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and small aircraft.
3. Enhanced Environmental Durability: RVDT manufacturers have focused on enhancing the environmental durability of their devices to withstand harsh operating conditions in aviation. These improvements include increased resistance to temperature variations, moisture, vibration, and electromagnetic interference. Such advancements ensure reliable performance of RVDTs in diverse aviation environments.
With these advancements, RVDTs continue to play a pivotal role in aviation, contributing to the safety, efficiency, and performance of aircraft systems.

Scientists at Zhejiang College in China have developed a brand new high-tech glue that’s able to effectively therapeutic injury to organs, together with the center. Whereas it hasn’t been examined on people, the groundbreaking adhesive gel has been efficiently demonstrated in animal exams involving pigs. In a proof-of-concept demonstration, scientists used a needle to puncture a small gap within the left ventricle of the animals’ hearts. Not solely was the glue capable of shortly cease the bleeding, however an examination of the animals two weeks later confirmed no indicators that the glue had leaked and little or no irritation of the injuries.
The particular glue is created from a combination of water and polymers. The result’s a protein-inspired viscous gel, which is then activated utilizing ultraviolet (UV) mild. At this level, the glue reacts with the encircling organic tissues to create chemical bonds which seal up the wound and cling to the tissue floor. Over time, the glue is absorbed into the affected person’s physique.
“Uncontrollable bleeding is a significant drawback in surgical procedures and after main trauma,” the researchers wrote in a paper describing their work, printed within the journal Nature Communications. “Present hemostatic brokers poorly management hemorrhaging from traumatic arterial and cardiac wounds due to their weak adhesion to moist and cellular tissues. Right here we design a photo-reactive adhesive that mimics the extracellular matrix (ECM) composition … These repairs can stand up to as much as 290 mm Hg blood stress, considerably increased than blood pressures in most scientific settings.”
In line with the researchers, no different scientific product available on the market is ready to cease coronary heart bleeding so shortly. It’s not but clear what’s subsequent for the analysis. Presumably, human trials can be a future step sooner or later, though there’s no phrase on when that could be.
Happily, the Zhejiang College researchers aren’t the one ones engaged on a next-generation medical adhesive. One other challenge, developed by a workforce of researchers from the U.S. and Australia, entails a brand new hyperelastic kind of surgical superglue, known as MeTro. The hope is that it may be used as a substitute for staples or sutures — with out the chance of scarring.
With a bit of luck, it received’t be too lengthy earlier than one in every of these applied sciences makes its option to hospitals. For now, although, we guess we’ll must concentrate on avoiding any accidents which can require related adhesives to assist heal.

One of the biggest criticisms of the Xbox platform has been its lack of broad indie support. Sony, meanwhile, capitalized and gave indie developers center stage at its conferences last year.
Well, turns out Microsoft has been hard at work on getting tons of indie support for the Xbox One.
Today, Director Chris Charla at ID@Xbox announced a list of 65 indie developers working closely with Xbox and the ID@Xbox program.
Charla also said the list is not complete and more than 200 developers currently have dev kits.
“Honestly when I look at this list, all I can say is “wow.” It’s incredibly humbling to see so many fantastic studios there supporting Xbox One, from XBLIG and XBLA alumni like Ska Studios and Humble Hearts, to new studios like Glass Bottom Games and Heart Machine, and veterans including Robomodo, Zoë Mode and Playdead. We could not be more excited!” said Charla.
According to Charla, the first round of indie games are in certification right now. We should see the first set of indie titles hitting Xbox One very soon.

October Music (Vol 3) - 7 Compositions For Duet
"One suspects that Daisy sees the composer’s task as very close that that of a good drummer — to set up opportunities for other people to sound good and to keep the music moving. He hands the other two guests, alto saxophonist Nick Mazzarella and guitarist Steve Marquette, material that brings out their respective bests. Taking the point a bit further, Daisy seems to be spending this phase of his career listening closely to what Chicago has to offer and reflecting the best parts for others to hear. —Bill Meyer, Dusted Magazine"
Joe McPhee & Jerome Bourdellon
"Joe McPhee has pursued an itinerant improvisers’ path since the mid-1960s; Octoblue is another of his significant discs for several reasons. Not only is McPhee’s versatility matched by France’s Jérôme Bourdellon, who plays C, bass and contrabass flutes, piccolo and bass clarinet, but McPhee’s expressiveness on clarinet and pocket trumpet is extended to toy piano, singing and bubbling water(!). -Ken Waxman, The Whole note"
Of Things Beyond Thule volume 2
McPhee / Rempis / Reid / Lopez / Nilssen-Love
"A must-own for fans of these musicians – a telling insight into the give and take of five individuals asserting themselves as forces to be reckoned with, while never losing sight of their collective mission. A genuine understanding of how to be responsible to and for one another."
David Grubbs / Mats Gustafsson
"Their second duo recording, the follow-up to 1999's Apertura. Off-Road finds the two of them forsaking their earlier, glacially meditative m.o. for a shower of digitally recomposed slivers, the metal-on-metal timbre of a saxophone equipped with contact mics, Grubbs's chiming electric guitar, and Gustafsson's pro rhythm analog synthesizer clipped to the bell of his horn."
Jaap Blonk / Bart van der Putten / Paul Pallesen
"Double CD with eight longer pieces, with meticulous trio improvisations."
Jeb Bishop & Tim Daisy
"Daisy and Bishop eschew the groove-oriented nature of some of their larger groups, namely The Engines and Vandermark 5. Old Shoulders is heavy on smart and playful extended investigations of textures and tones, of atmosphere and mood more than rhythm, aggression or melody. —Patrick Wall, freeTimes"
"Unbridled, unyielding fury is what matters here; and there is more than enough of it to satisfy even the most demanding free-music enthusiasts." - Troy Dostert, All About Jazz"
On Tour ... Toronto / Rochester
"With the caliber of musicians comprising the trio, it is not surprising that there is a consistently high quality to these unusual interpretations, which, for the most part, merely hint at recognizable melodies. For example, "Monkin' Around" skirts around "Blue Monk" without totally absorbing it, while "My Funny Valentine" just touches on the melody. - Steve Loewy, AllMusic"
One To (Two)
Günter Christmann / Mats Gustafsson
"this is music that challenges as it subverts, its highly esoteric, yet disarmingly attractive lines an attractive hook. Highly ambitious, subtly exciting, and always formidable, Christmann and Gustafsson make a delightfully revolutionary pair. Not easy listening, but rewarding listening, and continuously challenging listening, these guys shake the heavens with heartfelt cries of mercy. There are no liner notes but what could be said? Powerful stuff, but you have to look below the surface."
Vandermark / Drake / Trovalusci / Ceccarelli
""Open Border is a beautiful, truly collaborative project between Ken Vandermark on reed instruments, Luigi Ceccarelli on electronics, Hamid Drake on drums and Gianni Trovalusci on flutes... Interplay between Drake and Vandermark stellar as always, as is the light and fluid section for flute and electronic sound, and graceful spoken vocalization leading everyone to come together for a elegant and memorable conclusion. This was a unique and very enjoyable album, taking three stellar instrumentalists and adding Ceccarelli to create electronic sound and process the other band members playing in real time to create a vibrant and rich performance that continuously moves in dynamic and spontaneous ways." -Tim Niland, Music and More, April 4, 2020"
Anders Jormin / Christian Jormin / Mats Gustafsson
"Recorded at Bohus Sound Recording May 1996 and mixed at Orca Musicproduktion June 1996 it follows the encounter of Mats Gustafsson with Anders and Christian Jormin."
Oslo / Chicago Breaks
"Vandermark conceived Powerhouse Sound in the summer of 2005 to explore composition focusing on the bass, rather than writing from the proverbial "top down." Inspired by the rhythms of James Brown, the dub experiments of Lee Perry, and the textural collages of Public Enemy, Vandermark arrived at a concept more funky, electronic and rockin' than anything he's done before."
Oto: Pat Thomas
"The quartet plays four untitled pieces, each of around ten minutes, and on the whole, it’s high-octane stuff. -Collin Green, Free Jazz Blog"
Oto: Steve Noble
"On occasions, what we have is Brötzmann and Lonberg-Holm in the one corner, and a wave of percussion in the other; sometimes Lonberg-Holm supports the barrage with low regular throbs; sometimes he’s pitted against it. The result is two unnamed pieces, the first lasting almost forty minutes - epic in its emotional span – and a short coda of some five minutes. -Collin Green, Free Jazz Blog"
Fred Lonberg-Holm & Peter Brötzmann
""What makes this record such a delight is the synergy between these two remarkable talents. They speak the same language, even if following along requires a dictionary." - Kevin Press, The Moderns"
"Double Tandem has build up music whose real expression lies below the surface. It injects an unsettling sleaziness into a funny, occasionally wild and boastful collection of tracks that walk the line between postmodernism and sincerity. The tracks are all living, breathing entities, not blank slates to project my plain ideas and desires of how to review music on. This is music about honesty and truthfulness."
"All funds from the sales of Padova Solo will be donated to the Chicago Women's Health Center (www.chicagowomenshealthcenter.org) an organization that Mats has suggested. The CWHC "facilitates the empowerment of women, trans people, and young people by providing access to health care and health education in a respectful environment where people pay what they can afford. Each year, over 6,000 women, trans people, and young people access health services through CWHC. CWHC provides care and services that people in Chicago need, but often cannot find anywhere else. Since we opened our doors in 1975, CWHC’s programs have been shaped by our clients’ and students’ needs for accessible, comprehensive health care and health education.""


Groups Want a Tougher FDA
Panel Considers Calls for More Agency Power
Jan. 19, 2006 (Washington) -- Several health care groups on Thursday called on Congress to boost the FDA's authority to police medications in the wake of several safety problems that have sullied the agency's reputation.
Groups told an expert panel set up to review the FDA's safety practices that the agency lacks the clout it needs to force drugmakers to alter drug labels and order widespread studies of drug safety.
Advocates also backed proposals to restructure the FDA in an effort to improve how it polices the safety of drugs already on the market.
Drug company executives maintained that the agency has the legal authority it needs to ensure drug safety and that granting it more power would slow down drug development and deprive patients of needed medications.
The testimony came during the last of three days of hearings before an Institute of Medicine expert committee investigating how the FDA monitors drug safety. The panel was convened after several recent safety problems rocked the agency, including the widely publicized pulling of the drug Vioxx from the market after evidence that it doubled the risk of heart attack and stroke in millions of patients.
Several other safety problems, including new warnings of suicidal risks in adolescents taking SSRI antidepressants and the recall of thousands of electrical pacemakers, increased scrutiny on the agency.
Calls for Reform
Some safety experts have criticized the fact that the FDA lacks the legal authority to order companies to change drug labels, even when new data reveal safety concerns. Instead, regulators often end up in protracted negotiations with drugmakers over label content.
Fran Visco, president of the National Breast Cancer Coalition, told panelists that the FDA's structure should be changed to separate the office monitoring the safety of marketed dugs from the one that approves new medications. Visco echoed concerns that the offices now suffer from conflict of interest because regulators who approve a new drug are reluctant to later admit it has safety problems.
"The public needs a watchdog that is real; that is independent; that it can trust. We don't feel like that exists now," Visco said.

Tulle Ruth lives and works in Norway. Her practice can be described as sculpture in a very broad sense. She has her artistic training from Sweden, Norway, Canada and Denmark and has exhibited in many parts of Norway and abroad.
Her sculptures are often mobile and often located at more or less unknown sites in public spaces, along the high way or in rural areas and nature. Out from a personal, domestic and everyday life, Tulle Ruth asks questions about communication and existence in the society surrounding her.
Her artistic platform was shaped through the extended project Speaking Mountains, which enabled the seven famous mountains surrounding Bergen to speak and create stories. Later follows the Wind Powered Street Organ playing contemporary music as the wind blows. In an investigating and experimenting manner, “high and low” techniques are integrated, perfomative ingredients are often added, and not seldom the art pieces carry a humorous twist.
Outdoors Tulle Ruth always produces her own electricity from solar panels and a wind turbine, and is completely off grid. Her latest show “Spor på vei” is a search and investigation into a particular «clicking» sound, that the reindeers make with the lower hinter legs as part of their communication system. The project touches scientific methods and reasoning and is enabled through collaboration with the indigenous Sami people by Røros. The research and artistic methods used are sound recordings, observations, literature and conversations with the Sami about their cultural wisdom, knowledge and experiences with the reindeer and landscape. The first artistic outcome was an outdoor soundinstallation at Hanstholm Art Space 2019 and the project will continue to extend its activities both towards new collaborations within science and the artistic outcome.
In 2013 Tulle Ruth starts the gallery “Drive In of Sound Art” located at different sites along the high way. Any passing car driver can place the vehicle next to the gallery, open the window and listen to a selection of contemporary sound artists. Since 2013 the project has expanded and presented more that fifty professional sound artists in the Nordic countries.

Too young for the Holocaust?
Who is too young to learn about the horrors of the Holocaust? A new law in Israel means kindergarten children will be taught about the Nazi genocide for the first time, triggering an acerbic response on social media.
On Monday at 10am sirens blared out across Israel, as they do every year, marking the start of remembrance for those who perished in the holocaust. Each Holocaust Memorial Day, for two solemn minutes, businesses grind to a halt and motorists stop their cars on normally busy streets to silently stand by their vehicles and remember the dead. The day is undoubtedly sacrosanct but the way the holocaust is explained to Israeli children is changing. And the change is controversial. On Thursday the Ministry of Education announced that the holocaust, for the first time, would now be taught to five year olds at kindergarten.
In response, the hashtag "teaching Holocaust in kindergarten" began trending on Twitter. Most of the tweets opposed the new policy, often with pointed and black humour. One shocking tweet features a picture of a lego model from Polish artist Zbigniew Libera of what looks like skeletal figures marching towards some grey barracks. The caption reads: "Who likes Lego? Today we will be building a concentration camp". Another speaks of a bleak imagined dialogue in the classroom. "Teacher: Danny, what did you build using the cubes? Danny: It's a neighbourhood. Teacher: From now on it's a ghetto".
Beyond Twitter, Israeli parents are divided about the best way to teach children about the horrors of the past. Rona Avissar, a mother of two young children from Jerusalem, told BBC Trending that by the time they start school, children already have an idea of the horrors of World War Two. "Kids hear the memorial sirens like everyone else so it is no problem to explain," she says. "I told my son about it before he started school. It is not such a huge problem." But Rona's husband Rafi disagrees: "I think it will be better if it is taught at an older age," he says. "We can talk generally about the war but they are too young to hear about gas chambers!"
It is undoubtedly a sensitive subject but Dr Gila Matzliah Liberman at the Israeli Ministry of Education told BBC Trending that the policy was enacted in part because many children question their teachers about it. Israelis have nothing to fear, she says. "We are going to teach children the broad concepts of the holocaust, not, what we in Israel call the Nazi 'Industry of Death'. Mothers and father have no reason to be anxious about this new ruling."

James and my next convention will be Heroescon in Charlotte on Jun 22-24 and then (HOPEFULLY) San Diego Comic Con. Unfortunately, we're still waiting confirmation on a table, but everyone who asks us if we'll be there, we're very grateful and promise we're doing our utmost to make it happen.
We will also be exhibiting at Stan Lee's Comikaze in Los Angeles Sep 15-16, which is very exciting after a very promising inaugural year last year.
In other big news, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts announced this week the opening of a new art gallery in Downtown Disney in Anaheim: Disney Wonderground
I am thrilled and honoured to be part of the starting roster of artists, which also include the awesome
We have some amazing art we can't wait to show everyone starring new twists on favourite Disney characters, so stay tuned for that one as Disney releases more information and artwork in the weeks ahead.
Lastly, I am doing some spring-cleaning and reopened my Etsy store

The Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani, has said 90 percent of Nigerians should be digitally literate by 2030.
Tijani also stated that the FG plans to include not just youth but older people in its plan for digital economy.
“The plan is that by 2030, 90% of Nigerians should be digitally literate. Digital literacy doesn’t mean that you become a technical talent; it gives you the foundation to be able to choose whether you also want to participate in the digital economy.
“There’s a need for us to ensure that as we invest in the drive, the larger part of our population are digitally literate, so that we do not leave certain people behind.
“I’m not talking about people that may be physically challenged, but also in terms of age. So, that’s why we have a programme in that plan called digital literacy.
“What we are doing is onboarding people that may not have the foundation and understanding of how to use technology. This is because we know that younger people are digital natives. So, by nature, they are people who are conversant with technology, and they will always be excited about it. We see them as a workforce that we can drive.
“We need to have an economy where everyone is generally interested in technology and a large population of people has an understanding of technology.” he mentioned.

A traumatic experience can have a lasting and devastating impact long after the event is over. Eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a holistic, integrative therapy used to help individuals overcome and recover from traumatic experiences by changing their internal relationships to the event.
Not ready to make the call? Contact us online.
EMDR is a proven and effective treatment option for patients experiencing trauma, substance use disorders, addiction, anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions.
EMDR—an eight-phase treatment approach—focuses on the past, present and future by helping the brain reprocess traumatic memories and events. EMDR therapy integrates the mind and body to help patients understand that traumatic events are in the past.
Unlike other treatment methods for trauma, EMDR does not always involve reliving the traumatic experience and discussing it in-depth. Instead, EMDR therapy helps patients access the brain and body’s inherent capacity to process traumatic memories to help them heal.
Many patients experience significant, positive changes after just a few EMDR therapy sessions.
EMDR therapy for trauma and addiction treatment
Among the most common underlying factors of substance use disorders and other addictive behaviors are unresolved trauma, neglect and loss. Trauma and addiction have a cyclical relationship and can fuel each other. While cravings, negative belief patterns and overwhelming emotions are all factors that can pull an individual toward addiction, unprocessed trauma can also push someone into addiction. During EMDR therapy, attention is given to traumatic past events while supporting the development of skills to help patients overcome future obstacles.
EMDR therapy as a treatment approach for mental health issues
While EMDR is used to treat trauma and addiction, it is also an effective integrative treatment approach for those with mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, phobias, eating disorders and other co-occurring disorders that can fuel addiction.
EMDR therapy resourcing process
Before starting the traumatic memory processing stage of EMDR, the clinical care team at Mirmont begins the therapy process with an introductory phase known as EMDR resourcing. This process helps patients tap into internal resources, strengths, positive memories and other healthy aspects of their lives.
During EMDR resourcing, forms of slow bilateral stimulation (back and forth tapping, vibration, eye movements and sound) are used to engage and soothe the nervous system while strengthening the different positive memories being activated. Patients often describe the EMDR resourcing process as calming, relaxing, peaceful, enlightening and even fun.
Clinical experts certified in EMDR therapy at Mirmont
Multiple clinicians at Mirmont Treatment Center are fully certified as practitioners and consultants in EMDR having received specialized training. EMDR clinicians hold individual therapy sessions with patients to help them understand and reprocess traumatic memories that may be contributing to or fueling addiction, grief and other mental health issues. The clinical team refers individuals to be assessed and treated by the trauma treatment team.
Since Mirmont is an inpatient setting, clinicians emphasize the first three phases of EMDR’s eight-phase model, including resource installation to provide self-soothing and affect regulation tools to help build stabilization skills. When clinically appropriate, the full EMDR protocol is utilized. Mirmont clinicians may recommend patients continue with the additional phases of EMDR therapy in an outpatient setting.

Tensions between climate activists and Trump administration officials were on full display at the United States’ official event on energy innovation Monday at this year’s United Nations climate conference in Katowice. This comes on the same day as Sunrise Movement activists staged a mass climate action at the U.S. Capitol to lobby for Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s push for a Select Committee on a Green New Deal.
“Keep it in the Ground!”
Monday morning’s panel featured members of President Donald Trump’s administration, private sector representatives and Australia’s ambassador for the environment. Speakers embraced the fact that the U.S. is now the number one producer of oil and gas, citing breakthroughs in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. They also touted the disputed claim that the U.S. has become a world leader in emissions reductions.
“Alarmism should not silence realism,” said Wells Griffith, the Trump’s Senior Director for Energy at the National Security Council. “The reality is countries will continue to use fossil fuels.”
Griffith continued with his prepared remarks before being interrupted by laughter from the audience. Two protesters then quieted the crowd, saying:
“These false solutions are a joke, but the impact on our frontline communities is not. We hold the solutions and we know that we must keep it in the ground.”
Protesters then broke into chants, yelling “Shame on you!” and “Keep it in the ground!” before exiting the event.
“The policy is not to keep it in the ground. It is to use it in a way that is efficient and clean,” said Griffith, responding to the activists’ demands.
Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal Takes Center Stage
These protests in Katowice occurred a few hours before over 1,000 young people from the Sunrise Movement lobbied members of Congress to embrace a Green New Deal. This proposal, which already has the support of at least 22 Democratic representatives, has come to the forefront in recent weeks thanks in part to Ocasio-Cortez’s call for a Select Committee on a Green New Deal. Calls for a Green New Deal are also prevalent in climate actions taking place around this year’s climate conference, as the movement continues to gain steam.
— NBC News (@NBCNews) December 10, 2018
George David Banks, a former climate adviser to Trump and George W. Bush, expressed skepticism to La Ruta del Clima about the Green New Deal’s goal of transitioning the U.S. away from fossil fuels.
“To construct a policy agenda designed to drive innovation, that is a complete failure,” said Banks. “I don’t think it’s a reasonable target.”
But Kate Aranoff of The Intercept, who has written about the Green New Deal, believes there is good reason to be optimistic:
“We’re in a funny parallel world in that what U.S. lawmakers are considering is far more ambitious than almost anything officially on the table at COP24,” said Aranoff.
Her recent piece imagined what a Green New Deal plan could mean for the next generation. “Global South nations for years at these talks have called for more ambition, that 1.5°C is the bare minimum needed for survival and to maintain a way of life, not be displaced and not face disproportionate climate impacts,” she said. “I think we finally have a proposal on the table in the U.S. that is maybe prepared to help deliver that.”

LIVELY Katie is ready to bounce into your life – with the friendly dog ready to be re-homed.
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier husky cross, who is thought to be about four years old, is being looked after at West Hall Kennels, in Cleadon.
She has been there since being picked up in Sunderland on February 25.
Workers at the kennels says she would suit an active family.
Aimee Everest, the kennels’ manager, said: “Katie is very bouncy, very lively and very playful.
“She is not too keen on other dogs, though.
“I think she would be suited to someone with an active lifestyle, and a home where she would be the only pet,” added Aimee.
Anyone who is able to give a home to Katie, or any of the other dogs at the kennels, which is situated in Cleadon Lane, is urged to call 529 2369.

When to Start Feeding Your Infant Solids
According to the World Health Organization (WHO). Infants should start receiving foods in addition to breast milk at 6 months. Breast milk is unquestionably the food of choice for infants. As it was designed to provide the necessary energy and nutrients in the proper amounts. It contains the correct ratio of fat, protein and carbohydrates that the infant needs. It also contains specific and non specific immune factors that support and strengthen the immune system of the newborn.
Breast milk should continue to be the predominate source of nutrition at this stage, but other foods are added as a complementary source of nutrients if the infant is not meeting their nutritional needs through breast milk.
Around 6 months, an infant’s energy needs increase. Which is why complementary foods are needed to help provide additional nutrients. At 6-8 months of age. The complementary foods can be added 2-3 times per day in addition to the breast milk, and increased to 3-4 times per day around 9-11 months.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends adding in complementary foods when the infant is developmentally ready. Usually around 4-6 months of age. Developmentally ready refers to the infant being able to;
- Hold his head up by himself
- Sit without support,
- Have good head and neck control
- Has the ability to munch and chew
- Be able to use the tongue to move pureed foods to the back of the mouth for swallowing
- Can bring their hands to their mouth
- Shows an interest in food
- Most infants reach these milestones by 4-6 months of age
It is important to not give infants food before 4 months of age as they are not physiologically or developmentally ready. Their GI tracts, renal system, and immunological system are not mature, and they are only capable of digesting milk that is easily digestible and bio-available. Do not start feeding your child solids because you received advice that the infant is old enough, hungry, or they may sleep longer. It’s imperative that the infant is physiologically and developmentally ready, and their body is mature and developed enough to handle food. Introducing food too early is associated with developing diabetes mellitus associated autoimmunity, and childhood obesity.

Afrikan Mothers: Bearers of Culture, Makers of Social Change
This book highlights the integrity of some Afrikan mothers who, under European domination within the United States and the United Kingdom, have used their own experience as a foundation for understanding the impact of cultural imposition on their children's lives. Most of these mothers have chosen to place their children in school environments that will educate their children about their cultural roots, in order that their cultural memory and knowledge of Afrikan people will be handed down intergenerationally. This book looks sensitively at the herstories of women who are undergoing their own process of transformation and offers insights into the historical and continuing struggle of Afrikan people as a cultural entity living within European-oriented societies.

A group of sophisticated crooks hit up several stores in the Pacific Heights neighborhood recently walking away with high-end items worth thousands. They told each store the same story. Now employees are talking and sharing their surveillance video with police and ABC7 News Reporter Melanie Woodrow.
The shops on Fillmore Street in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights neighborhood are no stranger to thieves. “I’ve had shoplifting before but not as good as this time,” said Mio owner Miyo Ota.
Sophisticated shoplifters managed to get past employees at several stores in December saying they were visiting from Paris. In surveillance video from Mio, you can see them stuffing Issey Miyake jackets worth thousands under their outerwear… ABC7 News
