Researchers in a new study provide evidence for significant levels of cell death to occur in the brain earlier than expected in the development of Alzheimer's disease, during the stage of mild cognitive impairment thought to be driven by the aggregation of amyloid-β.
The researchers identify some portions of a mechanism by which amyloid-β might be triggering this cell death, and propose a novel class of therapeutic approaches that will interfere in this link.
Given the artificial nature of animal models in Alzheimer's research, and the comparatively sparse nature of human data, it is good to adopt a cautious wait and see approach in response to this sort of news. It is similar in character to numerous other lines of research in the Alzheimer's field that ultimately didn't translate from mice to humans.

Breathing in school has its risks
Al Gore’s film, “An Inconvenient Truth,” has been successful in raising consciousness about the dangers of global warming. Along with the destruction of the natural environment, the perils of manmade environments, including that of schools, are eminent.
Each year, indoor pollution increasingly affects the health and performance of students and teachers alike. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, one half of our nation’s schools have problems linked to indoor air quality. The indoor levels of pollutants can be two to five times higher than outdoor levels. The poor air quality contributes to increased respiratory infections and more students missing vital classroom times due to illness.
The University of Tulsa’s Department of Environmental Health published a study of the association between ventilation rates and student performance. The report concluded low ventilation rates lowered student performance in contrast to the positive impact sufficient ventilation has on human performance.
When I attended school, most windows could be opened to let in fresh air. Now many schools have no windows at all or windows permanently sealed shut. Air circulates through vents that may not be regularly vacuumed. The problems associated with this lack of proper ventilation are numerous. Infections diseases thrive if there is not enough ventilation to blow away and disperse the infectious organism: a virus can stick to desks or to doorknobs and live for several hours, causing a variety of afflictions, including the asthma attacks that result in 14 million missed school days each year nationwide.
One in 12 children now suffer from asthma, which, according to the National Institute of Health, is double the rate of 20 years ago. Exposure to certain chemicals and odors can spur asthma attacks. Culprits are cleaning agents, solvents, and building materials, which are known as volatile organic compounds.
Children who still are growing are at risk from breathing in such contaminants, pesticides and allergens. Locker rooms where athletes congregate before and after games are another major source of contaminants. Dirty clothes often are stuffed into small spaces, paper towels are not replaced, soap containers remain empty, and hands are left unwashed.
No matter how many times an overburdened custodian might clean, the stale air clings a breeding ground for disease. Is it any wonder exposure to unsanitary conditions, pollutants and a lack of proper hygiene have resulted in increased allergic reactions, auto-immune diseases and deadly MRSA staph infections?
Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was identified several decades ago in hospitals and found to be resistant to a range of antibiotics used to treat it. In the 1990s, it began to show up in the wider community and recently has caused the serious illness and even death in a matter of days of seemingly healthy students.
MRSA is very dangerous in children and often enters the body through a cut or scrape. The immune system of children is not fully developed, and they do not have the antibodies to fight many common germs.
Across the Delaware in Bucks County, toddler Luke Summers, 2, of Quakertown was diagnosed with the infection. It started as a pimple on his elbow that grew. His mother became worried and took him to the doctor. His doctors immediately sent him to an area hospital where the 2-year-old had surgery to clean out his wound.
Luke was a lucky one, thanks to his mother’s prompt action.
Other recent cases of MRSA in schools have been sourced to unsanitary conditions in locker rooms. The culprits are poor hygiene and the sanitary conditions in some schools where gym clothes are often shared, hands are not sanitized, and the sharing of towels and razors spreads the infection.
Careful consistent disinfection of common surfaces like library tables, desk tops and athletic facilities are recommended. Older students themselves have been encouraged to carry hand sanitizers for frequent use.
The concern over MRSA is not alarmist, though. A national study found 90,000 Americans are infected each year.
Diesel exhaust is a human carcinogen to which children are especially vulnerable. Riding the school bus is a source of exposure to diesel emissions that can lead to an increase in lung diseases such as asthma. Recommendations to reduce emissions include fewer stops to pick up children and a limit on the bus idling.
A Canadian study recommended re-engineering bus exhaust pipes to extend to the left rear end of the bus so exhaust will not be emitted on the same side of the bus as the doors. An even better location, according to this study, would be to release exhaust from a stack above the back of the bus.
These and other equally important concerns about the environmental conditions in our schools have led several states to embark on “Green Schools” initiatives.
The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, working with the Massachusetts School Building Authority, has created a Renewable Energy Trust, which is offering $15 million in grants to schools that meet guidelines for energy efficiency.
Our own state of New Jersey has a Sustainable Schools Network in which consortiums of schools, organizations and individuals are working together to promote healthier environments in the state’s schools.
The Green Squad, a program funded through Citigroup Foundation and the FAO Schwartz Family Foundation as part of the healthy schools networks, teaches kids about the relationship between their schools and environmental and health issues.
Concerned students themselves are demanding schools go green.
Concerted action and planning is needed to design green schools and implement changes in existing facilities to insure the health of future generations. We cannot let this other important and “Inconvenient Truth” fail to be addressed.

Mark Levin calls the Republican presidential debate a “spectacle,” and suggests that Fox moderators had an agenda to increase their ratings, and humiliate Donald Trump.
Levin was disgusted by Fox New’s “Reality TV Show” handling of the debate, especially Trump’s Rosie O’Donnell “fat pig slob” question.
Against the backdrop of the Fox News debate, Mark Levin, who is a frequent guest on that network, or at least who was prior to his sincere comments, said he never wants to again hear talk radio derided by any of the cable news or other media outlets. He notes that the supposed debate was more of a reality show and that the most real communication venue for the important matters facing our nation is the often criticized talk radio.
Levin points out that the conduct that was engaged in before 24 million viewers on Thursday night was unfitting of the event and that the amount of time taken up by the moderators indicates the network had a ratings agenda and wanted to make the debate about their network personalities as much as anything else. The post-debate debate has certainly accomplished that objective though not in the manner they might have sought.
He decries the atmosphere that the spectacle created for the next eight debates and how the Democrats must be loving it. He ask, “You know who enjoyed this debate the most last night? He answers his own question; Barack Obama, then notes that the contrast between the early and the late debates could not be greater. He points out there were two real journalists at the five pm debate who did a very good job.
Levin had no problem with the first question as many did, but he was taken aback by the second one, which he described as itself being a spectacle. He says the network executives signed off on every syllable of that question and it was clearly intended to create a spectacle. That question involved a reality TV topic, Trump’s spat with Rosie O’Donnell, which Levin considers content that was not suited for a serious debate over who would be our future president. That question, he believes, is proof this was not a serious political exercise but a totally ratings-driven event.

Thats right ladies. Coming to a spa near you, the option to give your vagina a steam bath. California, always starting new trends, is now going to offer “vaginal steam baths” at local spas.
Pungent steam rises from a boiling pot of a mugwort tea blended with wormwood and a variety of other herbs. Above it sits a nude woman on an open-seated stool, partaking in a centuries-old Korean remedy that is gaining a toehold in the West.
Vaginal steam baths, called chai-yok, are said to reduce stress, fight infections, clear hemorrhoids, regulate menstrual cycles and aid infertility, among many other health benefits. In Korea, many women steam regularly after their monthly periods.
There is folk wisdom — and even some logic — to support the idea that the carefully targeted steam may provide some physiological benefits for women. But there are no studies to document its effectiveness, and few American doctors have even heard of it.
“It sounds like voodoo medicine that sometimes works,” said Dr. Vicken Sahakian, medical director of Pacific Fertility Center in Los Angeles.
Niki Han Schwarz believes it worked for her. After five steams, she found she had fewer body aches and more energy. She also became pregnant eight months ago at the age of 45 after attempting to conceive for three years.
Han Schwarz and her husband, orthopedic surgeon Charles Schwarz, are determined to introduce vaginal steam baths to Southern California women. Their Santa Monica spa, Tikkun Holistic Spa, offers a 30-minute V-Steam treatment for $50. (The identical treatment is available for men, to steam the perineal area.)
At Daengki Spa in Koreatown, a 45-minute V-Herbal Therapy treatment can be had for $20 a squat. The steam includes a mixture of 14 herbs imported from Korea by spa manager Jin Young. The spa’s website claims the treatment will “rid the body of toxins” and help women with menstrual cramps, bladder infections, kidney problems and fertility issues. “It is a traditional Korean health remedy,” according to the website.

Look me in the eyes, You know it’s okay we didn’t make it forever Come hold my hand, Hold on to this last minute we have together. I’m not ready To say goodbye You and God both know All the years that I’ve tried And if it’s over Give me the strength to go Cause I know I’m never going to be I’ll never be ready To say goodbye, to you. My bags are all packed Waiting at the door Its hard to imagine I wont live here anymore. I’m scared of tomorrow And the emptiness to come But I’ve changed for the better Since I’ve known your love

It is also the name of the pomaceous fruit of the trees. Several species of pear are valued for their edible fruit and juices, while others are cultivated as trees.
The word pear is probably from Germanic pera as a loanword of Vulgar Latin pira, the plural of pirum, akin to Greek apios (from Mycenaean ápisos), of Semitic origin (pirâ), meaning "fruit". The adjective pyriform or piriform is used to describe something pear-shaped.
The pear is native to coastal and mildly temperate regions of the Old World, from western Europe and north Africa east right across Asia. It is a medium-sized tree, reaching 10–17 metres (33–56 ft) tall, often with a tall, narrow crown; a few species are shrubby.
The leaves are alternately arranged, simple, 2–12 centimetres (0.79–4.72 in) long, glossy green on some species, densely silvery-hairy in some others; leaf shape varies from broad oval to narrow lanceolate. Most pears are deciduous, but one or two species in southeast Asia are evergreen. Most are cold-hardy, withstanding temperatures between −25 °C (−13 °F) and −40 °C (−40 °F) in winter, except for the evergreen species, which only tolerate temperatures down to about −15 °C (5 °F).
The flowers are white, rarely tinted yellow or pink, 2–4 centimetres (0.79–1.57 in) diameter, and have five petals. Like that of the related apple, the pear fruit is a pome, in most wild species 1–4 centimetres (0.39–1.57 in) diameter, but in some cultivated forms up to 18 centimetres (7.1 in) long and 8 centimetres (3.1 in) broad; the shape varies in most species from oblate or globose, to the classic pyriform 'pear-shape' of the European pear with an elongated basal portion and a bulbous end.
The fruit is composed of the receptacle or upper end of the flower-stalk (the so-called calyx tube) greatly dilated. Enclosed within its cellular flesh is the true fruit: five cartilaginous carpels, known colloquially as the "core". From the upper rim of the receptacle are given off the five sepals,[vague] the five petals, and the very numerous stamens.
Pears and apples cannot always be distinguished by the form of the fruit; some pears look very much like some apples, e.g. the nashi pear. One major difference is that the flesh of pear fruit contains stone cells (also called "grit").
Pear cultivation in cool temperate climates extends to the remotest antiquity, and there is evidence of its use as a food since prehistoric times. Many traces of it have been found in prehistoric pile dwellings around Lake Zurich. The word “pear”, or its equivalent, occurs in all the Celtic languages, while in Slavic and other dialects, differing appellations, still referring to the same thing, are found—a diversity and multiplicity of nomenclature which led Alphonse Pyramus de Candolle to infer a very ancient cultivation of the tree from the shores of the Caspian to those of the Atlantic.
The pear was also cultivated by the Romans, who ate the fruits raw or cooked, just like apples. Pliny's Natural History recommended stewing them with honey and noted three dozen varieties. The Roman cookbook De re coquinaria has a recipe for a spiced, stewed-pear patina, or soufflé.
A certain race of pears, with white down on the undersurface of their leaves, is supposed to have originated from P. nivalis, and their fruit is chiefly used in France in the manufacture of perry (see also cider). Other small-fruited pears, distinguished by their early ripening and apple-like fruit, may be referred to as P. cordata, a species found wild in western France and southwestern England. Pears have been cultivated in China for approximately 3000 years.
The genus is thought to have originated in present-day Western China in the foothills of the Tian Shan, a mountain range of Central Asia, and to have spread to the north and south along mountain chains, evolving into a diverse group of over 20 widely recognized primary species. The enormous number of varieties of the cultivated European pear (Pyrus communis subsp. communis), are without doubt derived from one or two wild subspecies (P. communis subsp. pyraster and P. communis subsp. caucasica), widely distributed throughout Europe, and sometimes forming part of the natural vegetation of the forests. Court accounts of Henry III of England record pears shipped from La Rochelle-Normande and presented to the King by the Sheriffs of the City of London. The French names of pears grown in English medieval gardens suggest that their reputation, at the least, was French; a favored variety in the accounts was named for Saint Rule or Regul', Bishop of Senlis.
Asian species with medium to large edible fruit include P. pyrifolia, P. ussuriensis, P. × bretschneideri, P. × sinkiangensis, and P. pashia. Other small-fruited species are frequently used as rootstocks for the cultivated forms.
Major recognized taxa
According to Pear Bureau Northwest, about 3000 known varieties of pears are grown worldwide. The pear is normally propagated by grafting a selected variety onto a rootstock, which may be of a pear variety or quince. Quince rootstocks produce smaller trees, which is often desirable in commercial orchards or domestic gardens. For new varieties the flowers can be cross-bred to preserve or combine desirable traits. The fruit of the pear is produced on spurs, which appear on shoots more than one year old.
Three species account for the vast majority of edible fruit production, the European pear Pyrus communis subsp. communis cultivated mainly in Europe and North America, the Chinese white pear (bai li) Pyrus ×bretschneideri, and the Nashi pear Pyrus pyrifolia (also known as Asian pear or apple pear), both grown mainly in eastern Asia. There are thousands of cultivars of these three species. A species grown in western China, P. sinkiangensis, and P. pashia, grown in southern China and south Asia, are also produced to a lesser degree.
Other species are used as rootstocks for European and Asian pears and as ornamental trees. Pear wood is close-grained and at least in the past was used as a specialized timber for fine furniture and making the blocks for woodcuts. The Manchurian or Ussurian Pear, Pyrus ussuriensis (which produces unpalatable fruit) has been crossed with Pyrus communis to breed hardier pear cultivars. The Bradford pear (Pyrus calleryana 'Bradford') in particular has become widespread in North America, and is used only as an ornamental tree, as well as a blight-resistant rootstock for Pyrus communis fruit orchards. The Willow-leaved pear (Pyrus salicifolia) is grown for its attractive, slender, densely silvery-hairy leaves.
Summer and autumn cultivars of Pyrus communis, being climacteric fruits, are gathered before they are fully ripe, while they are still green, but snap off when lifted. In the case of the 'Passe Crassane', long the favored winter pear in France, the crop is traditionally gathered at three different times: the first a fortnight or more before it is ripe, the second a week or ten days after that, and the third when fully ripe. The first gathering will come into eating last, and thus the season of the fruit may be considerably prolonged.
Nashi pears are allowed to ripen on the tree.
Diseases and pests
In 2014, world production of pears was 25.8 million tonnes, led by China with 70% of the total (table). Other significant producers included Argentina, the United States, and Italy, whose combined production was only 9% of the world total (table).
Pears may be stored at room temperature until ripe. Pears are ripe when the flesh around the stem gives to gentle pressure. Ripe pears are optimally stored refrigerated, uncovered in a single layer, where they have a shelf life of 2 to 3 days.
Pears are consumed fresh, canned, as juice, and dried. The juice can also be used in jellies and jams, usually in combination with other fruits, including berries. Fermented pear juice is called perry or pear cider and is made in a way that is similar to how cider is made from apples.
Pears ripen at room temperature. They will ripen faster if placed next to bananas in a fruit bowl. Refrigeration will slow further ripening. Pear Bureau Northwest offers tips on ripening and judging ripeness: Although the skin on Bartlett pears changes from green to yellow as they ripen, most varieties show little color change as they ripen. Because pears ripen from the inside out, the best way to judge ripeness is to "check the neck": apply gentle thumb pressure to the neck or stem end of the pear. If it yields to gentle pressure, then the pear is ripe, sweet, and juicy. If it is firm, leave the pear at room temperature and check the neck daily for ripeness.
The culinary or cooking pear is green but dry and hard, and only edible after several hours of cooking. Two Dutch cultivars are "Gieser Wildeman" (a sweet variety) and "Saint Remy (pear)" (slightly sour).
Pear wood is one of the preferred materials in the manufacture of high-quality woodwind instruments and furniture, and was used for making the carved blocks for woodcuts. It is also used for wood carving, and as a firewood to produce aromatic smoke for smoking meat or tobacco. Pear wood is valued for kitchen spoons, scoops and stirrers, as it does not contaminate food with color, flavor or smell, and resists warping and splintering despite repeated soaking and drying cycles. Lincoln describes it as "a fairly tough, very stable wood... (used for) carving... brushbacks, umbrella handles, measuring instruments such as set squares and T-squares... recorders... violin and guitar fingerboards and piano keys... decorative veneering." Pearwood is the favored wood for architect's rulers because it does not warp. It is similar to the wood of its relative, the apple tree (Malus domestica) and used for many of the same purposes.
Raw pear is 84% water, 15% carbohydrates and contains negligible protein and fat (table). A pear in a 100 g serving (small pear) supplies carbohydrates and 57 Calories, and is a good source of dietary fiber, but otherwise provides no essential nutrients in significant amounts (table, USDA National Nutrient Database).
Pears grow in the sublime orchard of Alcinous, in Odyssey vii: "Therein grow trees, tall and luxuriant, pears and pomegranates and apple-trees with their bright fruit, and sweet figs, and luxuriant olives. Of these the fruit perishes not nor fails in winter or in summer, but lasts throughout the year."
The pear tree was an object of particular veneration (as was the Walnut) in the Tree worship of the Nakh peoples of the North Caucasus – see Vainakh mythology and see also Ingushetia – the best-known of the Vainakh peoples today being the Chechens of Chechnya in the Russian Federation. Pear and walnut trees were held to be the sacred abodes of beneficent spirits in pre-Islamic Chechen religion and, for this reason, it was forbidden to fell them.

Ultra Street Fighter IV Review
Initial NA Release Date: (SFIV) February 17, 2009, (SSFIV) April 27, 2010, (SSFIV:AE) June 28, 2011, (SSFIV:AE 2012) December 13, 2011, (USFIV) June 3, 2014
Review Date: October 18, 2016
Reviewed on: Xbox 360, PC
Platforms: Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, PC
Street Fighter may not have been the first fighting game franchise, but there is no doubt that the series is the torchbearer when it comes to fighting games. A few new mechanics coupled with the traditional core feel of Street Fighter, the latest iteration of Street Fighter IV; Ultra Street Fighter IV (USFIV) is a fine addition that contributes to the franchise’s prowess and tradition.
With a plethora of characters to choose from, the style of play is really up to the player depending on how the character is used, going wild with El Fuerte, jumping off walls is an option or if searching for a more traditional fighter who sports a fireball and an uppercut, an array of shotos are available to pick from. Flexibility is a must have trait when playing USFIV as there are many styles to play with and adapt against.
Presentation – Ultra Street Fighter IV certainly bares an interesting look, it might play on a 2D scale, however the 2.5D models are almost as detailed as some 3D character models. Cell shading and coarse textures are fitting to the overall aesthetic of the game. The unique art style in motion is found to be realistic, yet still arcadey.
To go along with their unique look, characters in USFIV come in all shapes and sizes, towering figures like Sagat and Hugo to smaller fighters like Sakura and Blanka, as well as everything in between, USFIV cast is full of uncommon individuals that might not look the part, but can sure fit the part.
Although some may affect performance, like the Jurassic Era Research Facility, stages in the game are responsive and add a little more flare to the scene. Spectating hippos, bouncing cars, day and night cycles, are all nice little touches in the background that aid in making the stage livelier, but not distracting to the foreground.
Special moves, supers, and ultras manage to strike the balance of looking flashy, yet still maintaining Street Fighter’s groundedness. Slow motion and victory screen flares are also nice touches that grant the fighting game its charm.
On the last note from a presentation standpoint, the sound in USFIV is also quite fitting to the overall theme. Soundtracks, like the fighters, are lively and come in a variety of different styles. Traditional attack names like “Hadoken!” and “Shoryuken!” never seem to get old, and catchy phrases during fights are also a nice touch.
Gameplay – Mechanically Ultra Street Fighter IV carries some resemblance of the core mechanics in other Street Fighter games, however it also separates itself from the mold of the long running franchise with some unique game characteristics. The game sports the common fighting game traits such as a 4 bar super gauge, EX or enhanced moves, button normals, and command specials. There is also the Ultra gauge, which is filled up as you take damage, once filled up over half way, you have access to yet another high damaging attack akin to super.
With a roster of 44 characters, core gameplay is constantly shifting, making it unpredictable, characters who lack defensive options tend to lean towards heavy, rushdown style offense, and characters who thrive by pushing you back tend to lean towards a space controlling, zone heavy offense. There is still the factor of traditional “footsies” Street Fighter veterans are so fond of, but there is also an implementation of the new age style fighting which much rather disregard playing the spacing game, bypassing it with moves like Yun’s dive kick, and Decapre’s scramble.
There are two major mechanics that make USFIV differ from older games in the franchise, the first being the Focus Attack; which allows the player to absorb an attack of 1-hit, resulting in the loss of grey life or regenerating life. Once an attack is absorbed, the player may choose to release the Focus Attack, which may result in a crumple or knockdown of the opponent when counter hit, or the player may choose to dash either forward or backwards depending on the situation.
The Focus attack is primarily used in two ways, the first being absorbing an attack at the expense of grey life, but filling up the Ultra gauge, and the second use is for canceling moves or specials (Focus Attack Dash Cancel) into other moves at the cost of two bars of super meter, an effort used to extend combos or making unsafe situations safer. There is also the variation of Red Focus; which at the cost of 3 bars of super meter, the player can absorb multiple attacks.
The second major mechanic is the invincible backdash; which lends the player to go untouched by back-dashing away at the time of any attack that is being thrown out. The importance of the invincible backdash comes into play when avoiding a throw, or on a higher degree, a level 3 Focus Attack; which is unblockable.
The combination of the two mentioned mechanics plays a major part in the metagame of USFIV, “footsies” can now be countered by focusing through space, and back-dashing is helpful when either running away or turtling. All of the characters use these properties, however the tempo is really dictated by how the characters decide to implement them in their fighting style.
Lastly and perhaps most importantly, from a mechanical sense, Ultra Street Fighter IV is not an easy fighter to just pick up. Links in the game vary, however, most characters have a few links that may be too timely or specific for those who are new the fighting games. The fighting game, unfortunately is not very beginner friendly, but learning the fundamentals of fighting games through a Street Fighter game is a valuable thing to have, due to the fact that these fundamentals translate to just about any other fighting game.
Final Impression – When all is said and done, Ultra Street Fighter IV still very much belongs in the family of the traditional Street Fighter games. It combines its long-established fundamentals with a few new age style mechanics seen in faster paced fighting games.
The constant variability of USFIV is a great way of keeping things interesting. Not having an actual tutorial or better way of explaining the mechanics, may be a bit jarring for novice players, however with some time spent practicing in training mode and going over trial mode, players will eventually get a better understanding of the game, as the fundamentals will begin to surface.
As a whole, USFIV is a mechanically sound fighting game, there are elements of the mechanics that can be abused, but nothing detrimental enough to ruin the experience of the game. The constant clash of the old-school “footsie” based characters vs the new age rushdown and more mobile characters, combined with the game’s unique mechanics, all the more add to the mind games and thrill of fighting.
+ Unique art style
+ Large character variety
+ Sound mechanics
– Not beginner friendly
Final Score – 8.0/10 Great

This dessert screams Italy. Espresso and gelato — need I say more?
There are two things that are fundamental in Italy: espresso and gelato. You have to try both when you visit. In fact, the country is dotted with bars (for the coffee) and gelataria (for the gelato) on every corner. Try to count them… You’ll give up because there are so many. But they are also decisively good.
In this dessert, I put together gelato and espresso in one delicious bowl. You will definitely enjoy both Italian staples in one spoonful. And you might be surprised how easy gelato is to make at home.
Warm espresso-chocolate sauce on homemade vanilla gelato recipe

- Serve immediately.
Vanilla gelato recipe
- 1 vanilla pod
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cream
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 egg yolks
- Slice the vanilla pod in half lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, bring the milk and cream almost to a boil (ensure the mixture doesn’t boil), and then add the vanilla seeds. Let it cool.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture becomes creamy.
- Gradually pour the milk-and-cream mixture into the egg mixture while whisking with a hand whisk.
- Let the mixture cool completely in the refrigerator, and then transfer it to the ice cream maker.
- Follow the instructions of the ice cream maker to make the gelato.
Espresso-chocolate sauce recipe
- 1/4 cup freshly made espresso
- 1-2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 ounces chocolate block, coarsely chopped

Bloomberg has a really great story today about how the elderly in Japan are really taking to the iPad. "The iPad is a good tool for the elderly because it's very forgiving of mistakes, something the seniors fear when dealing with computers," Takahiro Miura of the University of Tokyo told Bloomberg, adding, "unlike the PC, it doesn't require prior knowledge."
Bloomberg spoke to several elderly Japanese people in the article, all of who were finding the iPad to be a great help in their day-to-day lives, such as Motoo Kitamura, a former gas salesman, who said that the iPad helped him to communicate with his 2-year-old grandson, as well as making it easier for him to follow his favourite baseball team and to show holiday snaps. "I think using the iPad could help keep dementia at bay," he told Bloomberg. "Trying new things like that is a good mental exercise."

Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that’s mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue.
Swedish Massage is the most common and best known type of massage. It involves long, fluid strokes of muscles and tissues with pressure that varies from light to medium to firm. This type of massage is considered to be one of the most relaxing styles. Your massage therapists will adjust the pressure according to your sensitivity and preference.
Hot Stone Massage is a form of massage therapy that follows the same principles of Swedish Massage with the addition of heated stones, which helps lead to deep relaxation. Adding heat to specific areas on the body enhances the feelings of relaxation and peace. Recommended in particular for individuals suffering from fibromyalgia, arthritis or other chronic pain. The penetrating effects of the heated stones allows the massage to be delivered without excessive pressure.

Mission HI-SEAS: 'Life on Mars'
Lucie Poulet said goodbye to the outside world for four months; the scientist from the German Aerospace Center DLR is a crewmember in the Mars simulation run by the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Among other things, the 28-year-old scientist will use the second mission within the Hawaii Space Exploration Analogue and Simulation (HI-SEAS) programme to study the influence that light of different wavelengths has on plants. But she will also be the subject of intense observation – the University of Hawaii is using the habitat to examine how the six participants behave and work together during the months of isolation. In this blog she tells about her ‘life on Mars’.
Summary of the training week
The HI-SEAS mission crew met on Friday 21 March and stayed at Henk Rogers' ranch until Tuesday morning. He is Chair of the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES). These first days were dedicated to getting to know each other, discussing issues that might arise during the mission (personal conflicts, problems at home, crew-ground disconnect, etc.) and familiarising ourselves with some of the tests and surveys we will have to take during these four months. The psychological study is the primary purpose of this mission, and will focus on crew performance and interaction.
On Monday 24 March we went to the habitat and received instructions on how to operate most of the systems.
Solar panels provide all the electrical energy needed in the habitat. Credit: HI-SEAS.
On Tuesday, we went to the Volcano National Park to study geology with a volcanologist from the University of Hawaii. We had many field trips and learned a lot about the Big Island's topography and volcanism – knowledge that we will need during our mission for several EVAs where we must recognise features like potentially habitable lava tubes.

At that, Dragon Capital, which is shareholder of Ukrainian Exchange, confirmed the BOCE's intention to buy Ukrainian Exchange.
"Negotiations started a year ago. The Chinese side is still evaluating the company and collecting data. We made, jointly with our partners, them an offer. They still didn't respond to it," Dragon Capital Director Denis Matsuev commented.
BOCE is the largest commodities exchange in China which annual turnover amounts to USD 1 trillion.
The company was founded in 2009 by private Chinese investors, some state-owned companies and Tiajin municipality, China.
At the bginning of July 2017, BOCE won the tender and purchased 99.9% of UBRR, and paid out the stake in bank in full.
