I’ve posted the best known cut from this album – but to be honest the whole disc is great.
I stumbled onto CSN&Y a bit belatedly. My tastes in LPs ran to Blood, Sweat & Tears and The Moody Blues so the most I knew about Stephen and the boys were the Top 40 hits…then I ended up with a room-mate at Boy’s State had a portable 8-track player with a copy of “Deja VU” and the rest was history.
I spent the next year or so tracking down their individual and collective works but this eponymous first outing my Mr. Young was quite elusive. I knew it existed mainly from reading some of the lyrics Larry Kampen had written on his binder but it wasn’t until college and the University of Alaska bookstore that I found this 1968 release.
It’s different from “After The Gold Rush” and “Harvest” in that there is a more eclectic mix of music and a wider range of instruments – it’s not just the Stray Gators playing back up on each track. I’m sure that the fact that there were some pretty nice things were happening to me when this music was the soundtrack of my life is part of the reason of my bias but please give the album a try. Most of the tracks are on You-Tube and it is an economical down-load on Amazon.
I’m glad that I’ve stretched out making comments on my list of ten favorite songs. While I have been composing my thoughts as the days have gone by I’ve remembered other songs and situations, prompting me to edit my list.
One important addition is “Wichita Lineman” by Glen Campbell which I first heard in the early winter of 1968/69. It got some air again in the mid-90s when it was used as Matthew’s (Andy DIck) favorite song in the sitcom NewRadio, a left-handed compliment if there ever was one.
At that time I listened to in on the radio there were very few trees surrounding our house leaving us unprotected against the winds coming down off the Chugach Mountains. The wind would whistle and moan as it ran past the power lines, TV aerial masts and leads that were mounted just over my attic bedroom, so when I hear that whistling introduction to “Wichita Lineman” I’m not thinking about Kansas, I’m thinking about Sterling, Alaska circa November 1968.
It was a good time for me –the best year out of all of high school. I’d been doing some losing and gaining over the preceding summer: losing weight and clumsiness while gaining a little height, muscle and confidence. I had a solid group of friends at school centering on judo and I was doing OK in my studies as well.
Still, living way out in the country (my high school was 25 miles away) my social life was pretty bleak and with my bedroom up in the attic even contact with my own family got spotty at times. That’s why I loved my radio so much – as I would lay on my bunk at night I’d listen to the wind howling as the music crackled in on an AM signal – and when favorite songs came on it made me feel connected with all the other people listening to the music, both right in Anchorage and those of us out in the sticks within that 150 miles broadcast radius.
I haven’t posted any sort of favorite musician lest – but if I did Joe Walsh would place very high on it. His rep has been built on rock but I like his slower songs – ballads etc. There is a lot more depth than people realize.
“Vote for Me” is not on any particular favorites list but I song I definitely like. It was released in 1992 and is as accurate in its portrayal of my feelings about our political system as it was then. “If ‘pro’ is the opposite of ‘con” then what is the opposite of “progress”?
At this point my all-time favorite 10 song list is looking kind of – well “porous”. The obsessive-compulsive left-side of my brain wants to keep those lists trim and inviolate – but then another un-listed treasured tune pops up on my MP3 player. ” I Know A Place” is one of Petula Clark’s marvelous run of Tony Hatch-penned pop songs takes up a neat chunk of that MP3 player’s memory.
I’ve had this weakness for dark-eyed blondes since seeing Shirley Jones in “Oklahoma!” when I was three, but Pet Clark could be sporting Elton John windshield wiper glasses and a Day-Glo Mo-Hawk ala Pink and I’d still love her. Same for this song – “I Know A Place” was the very first 45 rpm record I ever bought. I sent a very-hard-to-come-by-for-the-time dollar bill to Shimek’s Music in Anchorage along with a scrawled note and one week later I got my record which then stayed on the record player playing nonstop for the next week.
(Outside of church we rarely made those 11 miles into Soldotna those first couple years on the ranch so ordering from a city 138 miles away got quicker results.)
Why do I like her music? Catchy tune, a stronger tempo that most non-rock songs of that time, happy message, beautiful voice – but mostly it is a gut reaction. The planet Saturn could be on a collision course with the earth but if I have a Petula Song clark on my headset everything’s going to be OK…
It runs in the family as well. My kids – especially Meghan – have a fondness and knowledge of Petula Clark that 99% of the under 50 population of the US lack.
For various reasons my family and I moved back to Sterling, Alaska in May of 1987. We were there primarily as house-sitters for my folks as they were planning on spending a couple of years as missionaries in the Canadian Maritimes, but we also just wanted to get home for awhile. The 26 month period we spent there was the high water mark for our family’s life and had there not been a prompting of Biblical proportions that set me on the road to getting a Master of Fine Arts degree we’d still be there to this day.
At the time of my move I was making a living exclusively from freelance artwork. I was in between periods of service in the reserves and had yet to start teaching, so it was vitally important that I resume work on a massive Battletech/MechWarrior project as soon as possible after arrival. The old garage was to be closed in and converted to useable studio space prior to our arrival so packing and set-up would take as little time as possible.
(At this point you may ask “What color is the sky in your world Captain Dave?)
Other than a cement floor being poured no work had been done on the studio project. After allowing myself a 45 minute emotional breakdown I dusted myself off and got to work. Each day for a month and a half I would get up at 6:00 AM and work on marker renderings until 3:00 in the afternoon, then I would trade my artist’s tools for hammers and saws to use in converting the garage into useable studio space. The hammering and sawing would last until about midnight with the whole project stretching over all of June and a good part of July.
When it was all finally done I was in pretty much the same condition: done. In addition to being physically exhausted we were both pretty wound up emotionally; not only did we have the expected conflicts of two families living in one house, I was also getting dark messages from my main clients regarding the slow-down in production. The home-with-the-trapezoidal-studio we left back in Orem was looking a lot better in hindsight and I was wondering if I had made a colossal blunder in moving.
Finally the books on the shelves, the paints stored in the proper drawers and the track-lighting installed and “sighted-in” over the desk. We plopped down into our respective chairs and as we went into a collective funk something prompted me to drop a specific cassette into the boom-box. It was “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel and the effect of the music was startling. I hopped up, took Lori by the hand and we danced across the studio floor in a kind of combination fox-trot/hustle that fit the song’s quasi-Latin beat. As Peter Gabriel crooned in his unmistakable raspy tenor voice we started laughing about how tired we were – and how the spirit of Our House/Home had come alive again now that the studio was up and running – and we’d be able to start working together there again. It was a simple thing – but it was (up to that point) probably the happiest five minutes of my marriage to Lori, not so much for what we said but for what we felt.
Selling a sad song to a Celt is like shooting fish in a barrel – and despite a flagrantly Teutonic surname I am of primarily Celtic ancestry (Welsh/Cornish/Scots/Irish). When you consider that Harry Chapin seems to have been unable to write anything upbeat at all it is no surprise that his first – and most poignant- hit “Taxi” would be a favorite.
( I don’t count his wretched 1981 release “Sequel” to be canon – I am convinced greedy record executives snuck Harry’s evil twin into the studio late one night to record that piece of >BLEEP< to squeeze more money out of Taxi fans.)
I first heard the song during my first summer working for Chevron at the Swanson River Oil Field on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula. It was an up-and-down summer for me: I desperately missed my girlfriend who I was totally smitten with and I was just doing “OK” as far as learning the ropes to the job. I was very fortunate in that A) I had a great mentor in my foreman T.H. Auldridge B) I was able to get to Anchorage once and Fairbanks twice to see my girlfriend during my time working there and C) the summer of 1972 had some great music on the air to help pass the time and ease the stress.
Besides, I didn’t mind listening to a beautiful but bittersweet ballad. Everything was going to be just fine in the relationship department…
For some reason after that summer I didn’t hear Taxi until the summer of 1978 – again when I was working for Chevron USA out at the Swanson River field. I was driving over to a tank setting to retrieve a pig I had just shipped ( oil field jargon that I will cover in a later post) when the song game on the radio – and I just about went off the road.
I was completely unprepared for the almost-physical reaction it brought about – and I still am clueless as to why. Six years later – I was married and we were expecting our first child. I was planning to go on active duty as an Army officer at the end of the coming school year, so everything should have been OK – so why the jolt?
I think the strong reaction was the result of combining effects – like when they tell you not to drink alcohol when you are taking some medications. As I said before Taxi in and of itself really tugged my heartstrings, but sitting in the truck and simultaneously thinking of how things were six years previous and how they were at that time. Well, I think it was a case of emotional whiplash.
The song still blindsides me from time to time; the same sort of combined physical/emotional twinge upon hearing that song happened again when we moved to Huntsville (AL) in the fall of 1989. It still causes a little twinge whenever I hear it now, though at this point in my life and looking at the decisions I’ve made it would be hard not to feel something.
it’s like I tell kids “ You get old fast and smart slow”
Vocalist David Crosby often tells people “If you say you remember the Sixties you weren’t there”. It’s a great sound-bite, given his history with “experimentation” but it isn’t all together accurate. When Mr. Crosby is talking about “the Sixties” the time period he is really talking about is the extended “Summer of Love” from 1968 to 1972. His personal history does not synchronize with the clocks and calendars in common use.
I suspect most of use function in the same manner. Our own personal history and temporal landmarks don’t always mesh with the timetable the rest of society uses. An old friend and mentor used to call his own periods of time “boxes” and felt that the boxes could be dictated by age, events or experience and (again) our boxes don’t always line up with everyone else. For example while a young man’s “ teenage years box” are supposed to run from 13 to 19 but my teen-age year-box went from age fifteen to age twenty, and the next song on my list marked the end of that box for me.
Todd Rundgren first recorded “Hello It’s Me” in 1972 but it didn’t start charting until the fall of 1973 – one of the best and worst years of my life. After going through what can be described alternately as a “Road to Damascus” or “Alma the Younger” conversion that put me permanently on track in life, I went on to the best semester of my collegiate career, making the Dean’s list and achieving a number of important personal goals.
While I love this song it conjures up conflicting memories and emotions from that time. The first time I heard it on the radio I was secure in my future but shortly thereafter the track I had been put on the summer before was reoriented 90 degrees to a very different future.
“Think of me
You know that I’d be with you if I could
I’ll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile”
When I hear that song two conflicting set of thoughts form in my mind. One considers the valuable preparation made during that semester and now happy I was as I made progress and anticipated the future. The other set of thoughts revolves around having that “15-to-20” box nailed firmly shut.
Again, actually hearing the music that I am describing to you works out a lot better…in the same way ctually tasting the cheeseburger is a much more pleasant experience that just reading about it.
I should have thought of this sooner.
When I list these songs I will to post URLS for YouTube files so you don’t have to rely on my descriptions….


Joe Biden Accidentally Admits Democrats Have “No Plan” to Reduce Energy Prices (VIDEO)
Joe Biden on Tuesday delivered remarks on inflation and his non-existent plan to lower costs.
Biden absurdly claimed he has made “enormous strides” due to his policies and said the Republicans are planning to increase taxes on the middle class.
Joe Biden accidentally admitted the Democrats have no plan to reduce energy prices.
Biden’s original plan was to blast Republicans as having no plan on inflation and high energy prices.
But the truth slipped because of Biden’s dementia.
“You know, we have NO PLAN – they have no plan to bring down energy prices today,” said Biden.
We know, Joe. We know.

Rental vacancy rate up in areaLandlords are offering a variety of incentives to attract tenants.
By Andrew LePage -- Bee Staff Writer
Published 2:15 am PST Thursday, January 20, 2005
Many landlords continued to struggle to fill apartments in December as the capital region's average vacancy rate rose to 7.8 percent.
The average apartment rent has risen 1.7 percent, or $15, over the last year to $913 in December, the industry research firm RealFacts reported Wednesday. The average reflects rents landlords charged for vacant units of all sizes in 352 middle-to high-priced complexes.
Today's vacancy rate - more than double that reported by RealFacts four years ago - stems from a lackluster local job market, the construction of thousands of new high-end apartment units and low mortgage rates that have turned many tenants into home buyers. Some analysts say the rental market could begin to tighten over the next year if, as widely predicted, Sacramento's job market heats up and higher home prices and mortgage rates make it more difficult for tenants to buy.
"We're at the softest part of the cycle," said Marc Ross, an apartment specialist with the CB Richard Ellis brokerage in Sacramento. "Right now we're in a very strong tenant market, and I think that will change over the next 12 to 18 months."
When today's rents are adjusted for the incentives landlords offer, such as two months' free rent for tenants who sign a one-year lease, rents have actually fallen slightly over the past two years, experts note.
Some landlords also are offering an additional incentive to fill units: Potential tenants who sign a lease within 24 hours of viewing a vacant unit get an extra $200 to $1,000 credit toward their rent. Those tenants are getting three months' free rent in exchange for signing an annual lease, Ross said.
RealFacts' measure of the average rent has been rising by a modest amount each quarter over the past two years, but that might be the result of RealFacts' regularly adding hundreds of new apartment units to its survey.
"It's a bit misleading because, in truth, rents have gone down consistently over the last year to 18 months," Ross said.
Last year about 4,000 apartment units - mostly high-end - were built in the capital region, while this year the number built will likely drop to about 2,700, Ross estimated. He based that number on his own research.
Aaron J. Frederick, an apartment specialist with competitor Marcus and Millichap, said his discussions with developers and planning officials indicate 6,400 apartment units could be built this year.
Apartment builders sometimes scrap or delay plans based on market conditions. Over the past year a growing number have converted their projects to for-sale condos, reflecting the glut of expensive new apartments here and the undersupply of relatively affordable condos for sale.
The weakness in the Sacramento rental market has trickled down to low-priced rental units not surveyed by RealFacts, though vacancies at lower-end apartments are lower and rents more stable.
For example, the average vacancy rate for 986 of the Sacramento area's least expensive apartment complexes was 4.8 percent last month, reports John Foley, director of Self Help Housing, a Sacramento nonprofit that helps low-income people find rentals.
Rents for units of various sizes were about the same as a year ago.
Still, many poor tenants struggle to find something they can afford if they lose a rental home where they had been paying a below-market rent.
"I'm getting more and more people who are shocked and dismayed they can't rent anything, yet I don't think the market is quite as bad as it was a year ago," Foley said.
Also making it rough on lower-income tenants, he said, are landlords unwilling to accept people with blemished credit or a past eviction. Others can't surmount landlords' minimum-income hurdle. Foley finds that, on average, landlords at low-end complexes require tenants to earn 2.7 times the rent to qualify.

A drummer is accepted into a prestigious music conservatory where his teacher will stop at nothing to push his students to greatness. Starring Miles Teller, J.K. Simmons, and Paul Reiser.
This movie is intense. Simmons pushes the boy and the audience to the point that you wonder where the limits are. The cinematography is beautifully shot; although, this film leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Hoping that the teacher would get his comeuppance, he’s a bully that the film seems to highlight. The film totes to the mantra that to be successful, you need to push beyond your limits to get there, and I’m not sure the teacher gets what he deserves. This film is disturbing but worth it.

The circumflex artery of the heart is a continuation of the left coronary artery after its division from the anterior interventricular artery within the coronary groove on the upper right sternocostal surface of the heart. Just after its commencement, it may give off three separate branches:
- left atrial branch - anastomoses with left atrial branch from right coronary artery
- sinuatrial nodal artery - in the minority of the population
- left marginal artery
It continues over the left heart border within the groove, giving off multiple branches to the left ventricle and left atrium. Finally, it anastomoses with fine arterioles of the right coronary artery around the inferior margin of the left atrium.
The circumflex artery supplies the:
- left atrium
- left ventricle
- inferior surface of left ventricle
- sinuatrial node in the minority of the population
Very rarely, the circumflex artery may arise from the right aortic sinus instead of the left coronary artery.

Environmental Group Finds 267 Toxins in Tap Water Across the U.S.
Research conducted by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) revealed that hundreds of contaminants are present in U.S. tap water. To be exact, EWG revealed that 267 out of 500 contaminants were detected during tests conducted by more than 48,000 utilities companies across 50 states. This shows that no matter where you live in the U.S., your tap water is very likely contaminated.
Of the 267 contaminants found,
- 93 were linked to an increased risk of cancer,
- 78 were associated with brain and nervous system damage,
- 63 were connected to developmental harm in children or fetuses,
- 38 were contaminants that could cause fertility issues; and
- 45 were endocrine disruptors.
Here are a couple more important details about EWG’s findings:
- Over 80% of water systems had known or likely carcinogens at levels that exceeded health guidelines
- More than 19,000 public water system had lead levels considered potentially-harmful for formula-fed babies, at above 3.8 parts per billion
EWG publishes a public database where you can enter your ZIP code to see what’s in your tap water. Just follow this link. You can gather information about which contaminants were detected, which are present in levels above health guidelines, and what to do to filter them out.
In the U.S., the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 sets the national standards for drinking water. However, it’s been more than 20 years since the Environmental Protection Agency added any new contaminants or chemicals to the list of regulated pollutants defined under the act. Nneka Leiba, director of the Healthy Living Science Program for the EWG, stated:
“Most people turn on their tap water and think: It’s clear, I live in America, we have these laws, I’m being protected. What people don’t realize is that there have been no additions to the list of regulated chemicals for drinking water since 1996.”
The main concern isn’t so much that you’ll get sick when drinking tap water. What the EWG worries about is the effect of long-term exposure, such as drinking eight glasses per day over a lifetime.
“Legal doesn’t necessarily mean safe when it comes to drinking water,” added Leiba.
Bottled Water Is No Better Alternative
If you’re currently drinking tap water, you are most likely putting contaminants in your body.
Many people think that drinking bottled water is an acceptable alternative. The EWG doesn’t agree. The group analyzed bottled water products. It published the analysis in its Bottled Water Scorecard. It concluded the following:
The bottled water industry routinely fails to provide information to consumers about the water’s specific geographic source, purification methods and the results of purity testing.
So, it seems bottled water may be just as bad, but we won’t ever really know. Why? Because the government doesn’t require bottled water producers to disclose what toxins contaminate their products. In addition, bottles leach plastics chemicals into the water over time, especially if you store the bottles in hotter temperatures. Finally, bottled water costs up to 1,900 times more than tap water.
Use a Filter When Drinking Tap Water
Instead of drinking tap water or bottled water, the EWG recommends filtering your tap water first.
Here are some insights from Dr. Mercola to consider before investing in a filtration system:
Unfortunately, it’s best to assume your water is less than pure and use a high-quality water filtration system (unless you can verify the purity of your water).To be certain you’re getting the purest water you can, filter the water both at the point of entry and at the point of use. This means filtering all the water that comes into the house, and then filtering again at the kitchen sink and shower
Unfiltered water can also expose you to dangerous chlorine vapors and chloroform gas. … Unless you have a whole house water filter, chlorine will vaporize from every toilet bowl in your home and every time you wash your clothes, dishes or take a shower or bath.
When you are ready to invest in a water filtration system, EWG offers a useful water filter guide. The group states that it is best to use a reverse osmosis filter with a superior carbon filter. Some of the top-rated filters of this type sold on Amazon, listed from least expensive, include:
Unfortunately, people do not put the same value on clean drinking water as they do on their cars or electronics. Yet, just as choosing organic foods, filtering your water is a smart investment. It benefits your health and lowers your medical bills in the long run.

Russia strikes back: Rosatom will teach the US how to build modular reactors
Because of its adventurous and defiant behavior, the West is going through a crisis and recession, many issues of the near economic future cause the most severe disputes, as the collective West has become confused in its goals, climate tasks and ideas about opponents. One of the most striking examples is modular reactors, which are incredibly actively lobbied by the United States. But arguments about the importance or necessity of nuclear power in the West are holding back the brainchild of American industry. In Russia, on the contrary, even this exotic type of generation is gaining momentum.
Most recently, Rosatom Corporation received a license to host Russia's first small-capacity land-based nuclear power plant and began preparations for construction. This comes as the United States is desperate to make small modular reactors (SMRs) its technological innovation and flagship to advance on the world stage as a panacea for future energy generation.
Obviously, if you look at things more broadly, then Russia is seizing the initiative in this area. Not a single American SMR has yet been built, and a small-capacity installation is already operating in Russia - this is the floating power unit of the Akademik Lomonosov nuclear power plant. So Rosatom will still be able to compete with all the US lobby and influence on the global industry by teaching them how to build SMRs.
A low-capacity nuclear power plant will be built in the Ust-Yansky region of Yakutia, the state corporation said in a statement. Director General of Rosatom Alexei Likhachev said that preparatory work in the area of Ust-Kuyga is being carried out very intensively. More than 2 thousand tons of building materials have already been delivered to the site, about 80 people and 38 units are working equipment. The RITM-200N reactor will be installed at the facility. The commissioning date has been set for 2028.
Based on the geographical specifics of Russia and its energy networks, the distribution of cities and population, modular or low-power reactors, most likely, will not become widespread, since the industry has enough full-scale nuclear generation enterprises. However, how to gain experience while simultaneously providing electricity to remote villages for the sake of gaining experience in creating such nuclear power plants, it can be useful, for example, to export technology abroad as another service for the domestic industry.
It is also obvious that such successful competition will not be welcome in the West, because the successful development of the sector, which has high hopes in the United States, will be akin to a powerful retaliatory strike against the West, which it will not be able to cope with and will not put up with. We should expect new unjustified sanctions against the technology of creating small reactors of small power, which threaten American counterparts that are lagging behind in development.

Bewildering Stories biography
Living in Michigan with one long, fat cat and one long, tall biker boyfriend, I write fiction. With it, I mean to deal with “the non”: the nonconformance, the nonstandard, the nonplusing, the nonfiction.
My poetry, flash fiction and short stories attempt to express the remarkable, strange, and horrific. Practice may result in longer works. When not reading, writing, or searching for the perfect keyboard, I also enjoy the grotesquely beautiful, finger painting, and the piano.
Some of my happiest childhood memories involve telling stories to any available audience. My cat remains my number one fan. Much time spent growing up brought hard lessons about money and work, and how little relation they have to one another.
The prestigious degree of GED in Equivalency (Three letters are better are than two, yes?) has earned me respected titles such as Sandwich Artist, Head Assistant Manager, Night Manager, and the esteemed Laborer.
Still, I want more. I desire the surreal connection that occurs between reader and author. After failing to find that connection in a file folder, I decided to try the traditional route of submission. Besides, writing fuels my paper fetish.
Other publication credits include Song Stories Press, MicroHorror, and From the Depths Magazine.

Exercise & Health Sciences
ECU's Exercise and Health Sciences students have access to cutting-edge teaching and research facilities, including state-of-the-art sports science laboratories. In addition, our purpose-built Health and Wellness building includes an occupational therapy teaching suite, nutrition laboratories, and the Edith Cowan University Health and Wellness Institute. We strive for excellence in teaching and learning, and nurture the development of an active research culture.
New-Look Strength and Conditioning Laboratory
Our strength and conditioning laboratory is a state-of-the-art facility that has the capacity to conduct training studies and evaluate neuromuscular performance. The lab contains a custom isometric testing device which utilises an Advanced Mechanical Technology Incorporated (AMTI) force plate to measure ground reaction forces, as well as Electromyography (EMG) technology to investigate neuromuscular performance.
Innovative research into the reduction of muscle pain
In 2012, researchers from ECU's School of Exercise and Health Sciences investigated the effectiveness of electromagnetic therapy in treating musculoskeletal conditions. The research tested the effectiveness of a new hand held 'e-cell' device as small as a computer mouse to ease muscle pain within 30 minutes of use. The results indicated that 'e-cell' treatment significantly enhanced the recovery of muscle function, including a rapid return of strength and range of motion, and greatly reduced swelling and tenderness. Since the research took place, it's been suggested that the e-cell could even assist in the treatment of post-operative care for joint replacements.
Understanding school students by assessing their sporting activities
In an effort to improve the depth of investigation into how school sports participation influences athlete development in Australia, Exercise and Health Sciences lecturer Dr Nimphius has embarked on a five-year study investigating fitness and physiological changes among students who play sport supported by the school to better understand how the students change, grow and become more fit.
The research, which commenced in 2012, involves studying students from Darling Range Sports College, which has students specialising in a variety of sports including Australian Rules football, cricket, soccer, rugby union, netball, swimming and baseball. The testing involves both standard and innovative measures that will provide one of the most extensive descriptions of physical fitness, performance capacitance and health in adolescents, and could also provide insights into the benefits of school sports programs on health.
"ECU enhanced my research skills and helped me gain experience."
"My Masters by Research was hard work but it would have been much harder without the guidance and support of ECU staff and supervisors. They kept me on track, enhanced my research skills and helped me gain employment as a research assistant in the area of Child and Adolescent Health Promotion. Anyone wishing to further their career should consider postgraduate studies at ECU. They're flexible, supportive and focused on you achieving your goals."
Masters by Research (Public Health) graduate
Research that's on the pulse of muscle therapy
School of Exercise and Health Sciences' Professor Nosaka and Master of Science (Sports Science) student Henry Banyard are investigating the effectiveness of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT) for exercise-induced muscle damage that typically experienced by athletes.
The technique is being used with volunteers, in whom delayed onset muscle soreness has been induced by eccentric exercise of the elbow flexors. If the treatment proves to have benefits, it could offer a relatively cheap and portable addition to the range of treatments available to our elite athletes.

BISMARCK — Though the deficit wasn't as big as it has been in some years, there remains little reason to believe Fargo Davies' reign of dominance in North Dakota Class A girls track will end any time soon.
The Eagles placed in all 19 events, with wins in five, as they raced for their fourth consecutive state championship Saturday.
Davies' 171 points were 41 better than runner-up Bismarck Century. No other girls team topped 67 points.
Eagles head coach Rory Beil was highly complimentary of his team's balance, noting that even the 2018 team, which scored 222 points, wasn't able to place in every event.
"We’ve got a big team with a lot of kids competing so there’s always opportunities for things to go well," Beil said. "We had a lot of kids perform well and as a result our team did.”
While the Eagles won with balance, they did their share of winning as well, placing first in five events Saturday.
Sally Korgho got things rolling in the day's first race, winning the 300-meter hurdles in a time of 44.74 seconds.
"I feel accomplished, like I’m there for my team," Korgho said of the opening race win. "It felt good to start on the right track for the team.”
Korgho kept things on the right track for Davies in the 100 hurdles, which she won in 15.20.
Elsewhere, Michaela Hjelseth was nearly 20 feet better than the rest of the field in javelin, winning with a throw of 142 feet, 8 inches, while Ellen Donat won the long jump with a leap of 18-3.
Davies also earned a win in the 400 relay where Olivia Ryland, Emily Jahner, Merritt Beil and Cece Debom ran a 49.09.
Thrilled with the prolonged stretch of success, Rory Beil has no intentions to see it end.
“We’re going to keep fighting every single year," he said. "We’ve got young kids coming up. We intend to be battling for a state title every year. There’s now a culture where the young kids have to wait for their turn, but they know it. So I think we have the foundation in place to sustain for a long time.”
That culture has spread down his entire roster.
“It feels amazing just to be a part of this team and to have so many amazing individuals that just work so hard together," said Hjelseth, a junior. "It’s unbelievable.”
Williams wins first state title
After narrowly missing out on a 100 title, West Fargo freshman Jasmine Williams made sure she wouldn't leave Bismarck without a first-place plaque.
Williams used a burst down the last stretch to finish the 200 with a wining time of 25.70 seconds, .12 seconds ahead of Bismarck Century's Hannah Dschaak.
Williams came just .06 seconds shy of winning another title, coming in just behind Century's Brooklyn Buchholz, who ran a 12.68 in the 100.
Williams said going against a loaded field made it easy for her to come with a top effort Saturday.
“It feels good running against a lot of fast girls," Williams said. "They just pump me up.”
Though some may think winning a state title so young will take some pressure off in the coming years, Williams doesn't share that belief.
“It adds pressure on," she said. "I want to keep going.”
Ford fights through illness again
A night of rest did little to quell the cold that shot through Meghan Ford's body on Friday.
But for the second straight day, illness wasn't enough to slow down the Jamestown sophomore distance star.
After winning the 1,600 meters Friday, Ford captured a title in the 3,200 on Saturday, finishing in 10 minutes, 52.36 seconds.
While Megan Lundstrom of Davies, who placed second in 10:54.06, closed on the last lap, Ford was in control throughout the race and showed little signs that she was struggling to hold it together physically.
Challenges arose shortly after.
“After the two mile, I had trouble staying conscious," Ford said. "I got really dizzy anytime I’d stop moving around.”
After sitting in the shade for roughly 90 minutes, Ford returned to action in the 800, but says ran out of gas, placing fourth in 2:15.99.
Though wanting to end on a higher note, Ford didn't leave the day disappointed.
“It wasn’t the ending I was looking for. But I’ve got two more years," Ford said. "I came away with three plaques so I’m happy, just not satisfied yet.”

Wells Fargo & Co. is taking its lockbox remittance processing business nationwide.
The $109.2 billion-asset banking company now sells such services in 10 western states but said a recent alliance with Regulus Group would help it expand more easily.
Bala Cynwyd, Pa.-based Regulus has agreed to manage beginning Jan. 1 seven remittance processing data centers that Wells inherited in its merger with First Interstate Bancorp.
Wells and Regulus emphasized that theirs is not an outsourcing arrangement.
The bank has made an equity investment in Regulus, and the two companies will work jointly on national marketing and product strategies.
From a revenue and equity standpoint, Wells and Regulus "win together and lose together," said E. Alan Holroyde, executive vice president of Wells' electronic commerce group.
Regulus, though less than two years old, has "the capital and financial wherewithal to expand nationally," added Mr. Holroyde.
The banking company plans to sell its services under the name Wells Payment Express.
Through the Wells agreement, whose financial terms were not disclosed, Regulus is "jumping into the marketplace and assuming a relatively high profile in the industry," said Lawrence Forman, assistant director of the Ernst & Young cash management consulting practice.
The bank's executives said Regulus' technology appealed to them and helped seal the deal.
Regulus "has the capital commitment in technology to make sure our customers receive state-of-the-art processing," said Mr. Holroyde.
"We are operating off a Windows NT-Lotus Notes environment so that we can provide what we call virtual office interface to Wells Fargo from any site around the country," said David B. Still, co-founder of Regulus.
Following a growing trend in the industry, Regulus said it plans to invest in imaging technology. It also is exploring the Internet as an alternative delivery channel, Mr. Still said.
The Wells deal is Regulus' first undertaking. For the first 18 months of its existence, the company raised financing and then went right into discussions with Wells.
"We are financed with a capital commitment of $100 million as part of $250 million total financing," Mr. Still said. "Our investor, in addition to management, is Liberty Partners of New York."
After the first of the year, Wells will continue to handle certain responsibilities related to the remittance business, including information reporting, check clearing, customer service, and customer acquisition.
In addition, a CoreStates Financial Corp. unit, QuestPoint, will handle processing for customers that were with Wells before the First Interstate merger.

Member Spotlight: Mountain Ridge Adventure
What better way to celebrate the warm weather than getting outside and experiencing Mountain Ridge Adventure? Read more about the business in this week’s member spotlight.
Located in Schenectady County, Mountain Ridge Adventure was established in 2016. They’re the only adventure park in upstate NY with both a high ropes course and a separate zip line park- giving guests a choice of adventure! While some adventure parks only offer cookie cutter obstacles, Mountain Ridge Adventure has totally unique and custom obstacles, like a grand piano 50’ in the air as part of a full rock concert element, including guitars and a drum set and a fully set dining room table hanging in the trees.
What makes Mountain Ridge Adventure stand out? Says General Manager Michael Cellini, “Customer service and creativity. We have had guests who have stated that they have done adventure courses all over the world and have told us we are the best they’ve ever been to.” In addition to the seven courses, there are ten zip lines and a 1-mile traditional team-building course for corporate and youth outings. There are stations where groups work with a facilitator on management skills, camaraderie-building, creativity expansion or any number of chosen goals. They also have an aquatic center for younger kids where they can handle fish, frogs, crayfish, tadpoles and more.
Cellini says that he really enjoys living and working in the Capital Region because in a few hours he can visit the Statue of Liberty, climb a high peak in the Adirondacks, jump in the ocean at the Jersey shore, see a great concert at SPAC or the TU, or try his luck at Rivers Casino. He also says that he appreciates the Chamber’s advice and support when he was first getting the park installed and the resources provided when looking for guidance.
When asked about the nicest thing a customer has ever said to him about Mountain Ridge Adventure, Cellini responded with, “This is the most fun I’ve ever had in my whole life.”

Soak up the seaside vibes
Oh, we do like to be beside the seaside, oh, we don’t mind at all being beside the sea (even in early May), oh we do love a bit of an auld promenade, and if there’s a brass band playing diddley-om-pom-pom, well, all the better.
Bray Jazz Festival has been fighting the good jazz fight for the better part of two decades now, resisting the chamber-of-commerce model (heavy on the straw boaters, light on the modern jazz) in favour of consistently high-quality, artistically credible line-ups. Over the years, Bray has presented some major international figures (Andrew Hill, Steve Coleman and Tomasz Stanko) as well as catching up-and-coming names (Marius Neset, Ambrose Akinmusire and Kurt Rosenwinkel) and supporting local creative music (Fuzzy Logic, Oko, This Is How We Fly). Influential New York trumpeter Dave Douglas liked the Bray vibe so much, he even recorded an album there in 2007 – a major coup for the festival, and a real compliment to the receptive Bray audience.
This year’s festival keeps up the good work with a line-up that ticks all of the relevant boxes: international superstar – check (Lionel Loueke); 21st-century gender balance – check (Maarja Nuut, Malin Wättring, Shantala Subramanyam); high-quality local representation – check (Roamer); cult Australian piano trio - check (The Necks).
The conducive listening environment of the Mermaid Arts Centre hosts the festival headliners. West-African guitar genius Lionel Loueke counts Herbie Hancock and Barack Obama among his admirers, and he’s bound to add to them on Friday evening. On Saturday night, anarchic Manchester big band Beats & Pieces make their first Irish appearance since their raise-the-roof performance at the 12 Points festival in 2013. And on Sunday evening, rising Swedish saxophonist Malin Wättring brings her folky, bittersweet sound to the Mermaid.
Elsewhere on the bill, worth checking out on Friday will be outrageous Norwegian accordionist Stian Carstensen and Stravinsky-inspired Danish trio The Firebirds. On Saturday, beat a path to Carnatic flautist Shantala Subramanyam, Irish jazz supergroup Roamer, and Palestinian vocalist Ruba Shamshoum. Then on Sunday, with a little fancy footwork, it might just be possible to fit in Estonian techno-violinist Maarja Nuut, and three contrasting piano trios: Dublin’s CEO Experiment with Venezuelan wunderkind Leopolod Osio; a new trio with adventurous Dublin pianist Greg Felton, Australian-Irish bassist Damian Evans and Catalan drummer Gonzalo Del Val; and last but not first, Australian trio the Necks.
Clockwise from above: Maarja Nuut, Malin Wättring, Lionel Loueke and Stian Carstensen

Photos Part Three: The Cooler and Fans
The heatsink plates are more of a matte finish, while the top is quite shiny. This is good really as shiny surfaces do not radiate heat well at all and rough surfaces also encourage air turbulence over them. Note the two piece plates as well, it's an interesting touch.
All told it really looks quite nice!
The base has a bit of a dome in it to ensure good contact with the center of the CPU heatspreader, where the CPU die itself lives.
On the top of the base are some alignment ridges and a screw hole for aligning and attaching the crossbar.
The fans I like a lot, they're quite cool looking. No built in PWM control though, that will hurt the final ranking.
I really like the motor support spars.

Keeping corruption on the corporate agenda
The call for meaningful corporate social responsibility is more urgent than ever. Good public governance is a crucial requirement for progress. The two go hand in hand and influence each other. Despite the street demonstrations in Seattle and Prague, and the ones expected this week in Davos, there is inadequate public recognition of the reality that the abuse of human rights, the exploitation of labour and the degradation of the environment are closely linked to corruption. They depend on the bribery of the judiciary by employers who run sweatshops; they are encouraged by public officials who abuse their function for extortion while awarding a contract in a tender. Improving governance in the public and corporate sector depends to a considerable degree on progress in fighting corruption.
Transparency International is an independent, non-governmental organisation, just like those involved in the Public Eye project and others protesting at Davos. While TI agrees with the Public Eye on Davos on many issues, it uses a different approch.
Transparency International's Chairman, Peter Eigen, is attending this week's World Economic Forum in Davos. "For a coalition dedicated to fighting corruption," he said, " there is no alternative to engagement with governments and the corporate sector. Public demonstrations are no substitute for constructive dialogue with the banks if we are seriously engaged in the battle to curb money laundering. That is why we are dedicated to dialogue." The risks this can pose to the perception of our outward 'independence' are a price worth paying if we can achieve results.
In this spirit, last year Transparency International was instrumental in bringing together 11 leading international banks to announce their agreement on the Wolfsberg Anti-Money Laundering Principles. The new guidelines on business conduct in international private banking state: "Bank policy will be to prevent the use of its world-wide operations for criminal purposes. The bank will endeavour to accept only those clients whose source of wealth and fund can be reasonably established to be legitimate." This initiative was a first step, and Transparency International will continue on this course.
Transparency International is dedicated to building coalitions between NGOs, the private sector and government. From Bulgaria to Nepal and Colombia, Transparency International has engaged governments and the private sector in Integrity Pacts in procurement tenders, auctions and privatisations. Under an Integrity Pact, bidders competing for the supply of goods and services provide binding assurances that they have not paid any bribes in order to obtain the contract, and an undertaking that they will not do so in future. Pre-agreed sanctions come into force if this undertaking is breached.
Though choosing a different approach, TI is in agreement with the signatories of the NGO statement Public Eye on Davos in many respects. As Peter Eigen said: "Transparency International is also campaigning for transparent, accountable and democratic principles. We also support tighter tax laws and enforcement of the law against companies that break it on a national and international level. We believe, however, that TI may best contribute to this and achieve much more by engagement with both those inside and outside Davos."

Once again Disney is getting criticized for potentially buying out theaters to prop up the sales figures for another one of their potential failures. As The Rise of Skywalker continues its desperate last minute re-shoots, word has begun spreading across various media and social media profiles that Disney has once again been caught mass purchasing tickets.
As discussed in the video by The Quartering, in an arguably harebrained move the first announcement that the ticket’s sales were a success came from Atom Tickets, a Disney financed ticket reseller where the director of the movie sits on the board. Soon headlines would switch to the former Disney CEO ran Fandango as the boasts increased not unlike a wild fisherman’s story.
Where Disney had been able to more smoothly get away with these purchases before, the latest round has been openly called suspicious by numerous users including Dataracer who provided conclusive proof of ticket sales being instantly purchased in abnormal blocks. At his local theater these block purchases ran from December 19th through December 26th coincidentally leaving out several of the most popular seats in the house.
Fans that are legitimately excited for this movie are on the national endangered species list. Some argue they’ve gone extinct in the wild, but others claim every so often one is documented or seen through reports are of a spurious nature. Despite their rare proclivity towards being so common they might be an extinct species Disney wants people to believe that this movie is outselling Avengers Endgame .
Yes the movie sensation that had to be released twice in order to be the number one box office success is being outsold by a movie whose theme park failed so bad Catherine Powell the president of Disney Parks West has been fired and her position dissolved, whose last cartoon series was cancelled because of low ratings, and whose last movie was the first in its entire franchise to not even break even has outsold Endgame.
A movie that had more people frothing at the mouth than a Jonestown farewell celebration is being outsold by Rise of Skywalker. How stupid does Disney think people actually are that they would just believe that without question?
This isn’t like Captain Marvel, which was riding off the coattails of Infinity War and had an air of believability to the mass ticket buy outs by Disney. This movie is coming off a dying franchise that has forsaken its long term fans and series creator to virtue signal and promotes a politicized agenda.
Much like Captain Marvel what may eventually come out on launch day are scores of tweets showing empty “sold out” theaters, empty concession lines, and further review rigging to obfuscate its critical failure. It is a wonder how Disney expects this to be pulled off at this juncture. The moment those tweets start coming in it will confirm the entire accusation, even if it doesn’t lay it square on the feet of Disney.
What is going on here? pic.twitter.com/K2DNllrlxx
— Jack Poso-boo👻 (@JackPosobiec) March 10, 2019
Look on a pragmatic scale we have two potential realities to choose from: Either reality one this movie with virtually no hype from fans has seemingly outsold Avengers: End Game or reality two Disney or someone on behalf of Disney is purchasing tickets to prop of the viewer numbers of a movie already strongly rumored to still be undergoing re-shoots. In that reality it is mere coincidence that the two companies that are selling all the tickets are connected directly to Disney. Of the two possibilities, what do you think is more likely?


The Shams Power Company opened their Shams 1 concentrated solar power station this week in Abu Dhabi. The station generates 100 MW and can power 20,000 homes while reducing CO2 emissions by 175,000 tons per year.
Not to be outdone, two companies in California proposed solar towers yesterday that will generate 500 MW and power about 200,000 homes. But the Shams 1 project still holds the biggest solar station title for now. The project took about two years and $600 million to build. Shams 1 has 258,048 parabolic mirrors that collect sunlight which hits heat-transfer fluid and then flows through tubes to a heat exchanger.

Background: Silver nanoparticles have a profound role in the field of high sensitivity biomolecular detection, catalysis, biosensors and medicine. In the present study, aqueous extract of Dracocephalum kotschyi has been used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles.
Objective: In this study, we evaluated the antioxidant features and the possibility of biosynthesis of AgNPs using an aqueous extract of Dracocephalum kotschyi and also evaluated the antibacterial activities of the synthesized nanoparticles.
Methods: An eco-friendly and cost-effective protocol for the synthesis of Ag nanoparticles by utilizing a renewable natural resource, aqueous solution of Dracocephalum kotschyi, was proposed. Synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by UV–Vis spectroscopy, SEM, EDS, and XRD pattern.
Results: At first, the extract of Dracocephalum kotschyi was assessed to determine and confirm the presence of an antioxidant feature. Resuscitation of one mM silver nitrate solution was carried out by the herbal extract. The solution containing AgNPs obtained from green synthesis had a maximum optical density at 225 nm. In addition, the presence of AgNPs was approved by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Images of the scanning electron microscope demonstrated that the synthesized AgNPs had the shape of rods and the size distribution of 48-51 nm. One of the benefits of this method is a uniform size distribution. Moreover, the effects of reaction time and concentration of the herbal extract were assessed by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. In the end, we assessed the antibacterial impact of the synthesized AgNPs against some pathogenic bacterial strains. According to the results, the produced nanostructures had a proper impact on two bacteria of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, Dracocephalum kotschyi can be a suitable compound for the synthesis of nanostructures due to its indigenous cultivation and great medicinal properties.

I always tell my students that empathy is not throwing a rope down a well to save someone who has fallen in rather it is jumping into the well and spending a few minutes with them. As we look at the headlines of some of the awful things that are going on in this country, you have to wonder if empathy is a lost art, like letter writing. Empathy is something I have seen disappear over the years. While I doubt that empathy is really disappearing, I feel due to the fact that empathy has been devalued, people are not so willing to show they have it. What I mean by this is, empathy needs to be used on a regular basis in order to be effective and too often we are discouraged from using it when empathy could solve a lot of the social ills we are encountering.
First empathy requires a face to face encounter. Sending prayers and donations are helpful, but nothing can replace a physical presence. Now this is not always practical, but if possible should be considered. If someone you love and are connected to, has suffered a setback, sending a text of Facebook post is thoughtful, taking time to see them or spend time with them can make a great difference in their time of crisis.
Second, you never know what a person is going through when he or she shows up on your doorstep. This is one of the first things a teacher considered when encountering a negative behavior from a student who does not or has not ever exhibited this behavior before. Do you write them a referral or do you catch them after class and ask “what’s up?” Sometimes before jumping to conclusions, you should sit down and communicate and see what the problem is. This is vital as a parent as well when confronting your child about some situation they are involved with and making him or her feel that you are on their side.
Finally, developing a positive relationship with another person will give you an “in” when something arises. Empathy is not lying and telling the person that everything will be alright, because the truth is, maybe everything is not alright, but if you offer honesty and encouragement the person can work it through and put everything alright. Also empathy includes the ability to be a good listener without acting as judge or how this will affect you. You may not agree, but you can’t start putting your own perspective into the situation right away. With empathy, you can help someone through a tough time.
With more empathy, we can reduce the terrible isolation of many people in our neighborhoods, our communities, our counties, and our states. With empathy we have a tendency to develop tolerance of people we would otherwise not have an understanding for. We need to come together and spend a little more time down the well with someone who needs that time.
Take time to let me hear from you on this subject...or any other that is on your mind.
Is empathy a lost art?

Ronda Rousey surprised her fans with her comic timing and even joked about her brutal sports. This was the first time that she appeared after losing to Holly Holm in the UFC. She said that those who are worried about her sport being responsible for brain damage shouldn’t worry about her sanity since she was there hosting the show.
She added that all she has to do is read the cue cards and immediately the camera panned on a member of the crew holding a card stating her name was Ronda Rousey.
Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber have gone their separate ways. The two had a chance of getting back together, but that didn’t work out since Selena Gomez refused to wait for him when Justin didn’t take the first step.
Ronda Rousey made fun of Justin Bieber on the show as well. Actress Kate McKinnon had come on stage dressed as Justin Bieber and everyone knew the implication of this since Selena Gomez was on the show as a guest star.
She slaps Kate McKinnon who has dressed up as Justin Bieber and says that he isn’t important anymore. This is a direct diss at Justin Bieber and the position he now enjoys in Selena Gomez’s life.
The singer/actress has moved on from Justin and there is no way that the two are going to get back together. Visit the page for more news on Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber.

Scientists at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have found direct evidence that exposure to common cold coronaviruses can train T cells to fight SARS-CoV-2. Indeed, a common cold partially protected mice from lung damage during SARS-CoV-2 infection before exposure to the coronavirus.
New research published recently Nature communication, provides an important first look at how “cross-reactive” T cells—those that can fight multiple viruses from the same family—develop in an animal model. “We are learning how these immune cells develop and function,” said LJI research instructor Annie Elong Ngono, Ph.D., co-leader of the study.
The Shrestha Laboratory is now working to develop novel vaccines purposefully designed to harness these powerful T cells. These vaccines will protect against SARS-CoV-2 and provide immunity against several other coronaviruses with pandemic potential.
“Our research will help scientists design and develop ‘pan-coronavirus’ vaccines that generate broad, cross-protective responses.”
LGI Professor Sujan Shrestha, Ph.D., senior study leader and member of the LGI Center for Vaccine Innovation
How powerful are T cells?
T cells tend to specialize. They learn to find specific molecular targets called epitopes that belong to specific pathogens. “Cross-reactive” T cells are important to human health because they differ-; but closely related-; Pathogens such as coronaviruses recognize epitope targets on different family members. This viral family includes serious pathogens such as the common cold coronavirus and SARS-CoV-2.
The COVID-19 pandemic has put cross-reactive T cells in the spotlight. In early 2020, LJI professors Shane Crotty, Ph.D., and Alessandro Sette, Dr.Biol.Sci., discovered that many people—;who had never been exposed to SARS-CoV-2—;already had T cells. which identified the new coronavirus. How did these T cells know what to look for?
SARS-CoV-2 only appeared in 2019, but many people were infected with the common cold coronavirus long before that. LGI scientists have shown that cross-reactive T cells can recognize targets from both viruses. In follow-up studies, researchers even found an association between cross-reactive T cells and a lower risk of developing severe COVID-19.
If T cells can learn to target both viruses simultaneously, perhaps scientists can design a vaccine against many types of coronaviruses, including the new SARS-CoV-2 variant. That was the hope-; But there was still much to learn.
“To design better vaccines we need to know how these protective T cells develop and how long the window of protection lasts,” said LJI postdoctoral fellow Rubens Alves, PhD, who served as first author of the new study.
Best Labs is working to answer those questions. Members of the lab specialize in developing humanized mouse models, which allow them to study infectious diseases and human-relevant immune cell responses in a controlled environment.
Cross-reactive T cells for rescue
For the new study, the researchers used mouse strains that can produce the exact same type of T cells found in humans. The researchers infected these mice with one of the most prevalent common cold coronaviruses known as OC43. Both SARS-CoV-2 and OC43 are betacoronaviruses.
The scientists found that mice infected with OC43 produced CD4+ “helper” T cells and CD8+ “killer” T cells that cross-reacted with SARS-CoV-2. These cells target the same epitopes as T cells collected from humans with SARS-CoV-2 exposure.
Next, the researchers developed a model of sequential infection by following SARS-CoV-2 with OC43 infection in these humanized mice. They tested whether cross-reactive T cells actually helped protect mice from severe COVID-19.
Cross-reactive CD4+ “helper” T cells actually helped prevent the virus from invading the respiratory system. Mice with prior OC43 exposure showed lower levels of SARS-CoV-2 infection in their airways and were less likely to develop pneumonia and lung damage. Cross-reactive T cells really helped prevent severe disease.
“Our lab’s expertise in mouse models has allowed us to go deeper into what the human studies have suggested,” said Elong Ngono.
Next steps in vaccine design
SARS-CoV-2 is not the first coronavirus to cause a serious outbreak. SARS, which caused a deadly outbreak in 2003, was also a coronavirus. So is MERS. This new study is an important step in understanding how T cells can simultaneously learn to recognize and cross-react to many coronaviruses — including the emerging SARS-CoV-2 variant and other family members with pandemic potential.
Going forward, the team wants to investigate how exposure to other types of common cold coronaviruses affects T cells. Will cross-reactive T cells still develop? Will they seek the same shared epitope or different targets?
“We now have mouse models to study different human infection scenarios, such as the typical situation when a person has been infected multiple times with different common cold coronaviruses before encountering SARS-CoV-2,” said Shrestha. “We even now have a model to characterize different SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-induced human T cell responses and determine the contribution of these T cells to vaccine-induced protection.”
Shrestha said the institute is well equipped to move forward with this epidemic prevention research. He credits LJI with ensuring that LJI scientists have critical training and facilities for infectious disease research. Shrestha also emphasized that philanthropic support made it possible for the institute to build a biosafety level 3 laboratory for it-; and many other-; Critical research.

Just so you know, What to Expect may make commissions on shopping links on this page.
Has anyone had preeclampsia with their first pregnancy and avoided it with the second? If so, did you do anything differently from the first pregnancy?
I am newly pregnant. I have one child who will be 3 in June. I was diagnosed with hypertension at 37 weeks and then was induced. I started experiencing high blood pressure, headaches, right side pain under my ribs and severe swilling weeks before that. I was in labor for 3 days and delivered naturally. My baby spent 5 days in NICU I was discharged the day after delivery but while visiting him at NICU a nurse noticed I had severe swelling and took me for a blood pressure check. I was diagnosed with preeclampsia, readmitted and put on MAG for 24 hours. In 2020 I went on to experience two miscarriages. I had testing done which yielded no negative results. I would just love to hear from other moms who have been in a similar situation
Me! I just delivered yesterday at 38 weeks and 1 day to a healthy 8lb 13oz boy. I had a scheduled c-section next week so we just moved it up. I had baby aspirin every day starting around 9 weeks and I didn’t gain as much weight either, about 23 lbs total. My first was born at 37 weeks 3 days due to HELLP and was only 5 lbs 9oz. Such a huge difference and I didn’t have any of the symptoms that I had the first time round. My BP started to creep up a little at 36 weeks, but it always came down on its own and I just started resting more.
I had the first pregnancy post.. the second time I actually had a cardiologist. Didn’t get preeclampsia or post.

There are several ingredients that enter into the production of an e-juice. You must seek a couple of ingredients, such as Veggie glycerin, nicotine, and also flavors. You can likewise stay clear of tastes that have high levels of oxidation. This write-up will cover the primary components you ought to be looking for. After reading this post, you will certainly know exactly how to choose an e-juice that works for you. If you loved this article and you would like to receive more info about sneak a peek at this web-site. please visit our webpage.
If you are aiming to stop smoking cigarettes, you may intend to consider lowering the quantity of nicotine in your vape juice. Beginning off at a higher level is optimal, but it is necessary to scale down slowly. If you’re a heavy cigarette smoker, it’s a great concept to decrease your pure nicotine consumption progressively. Once you’re comfortable with the nicotine material of your e-juice, you can go down a notch. If you wish to give up completely, you can simply swap your e-liquid for an additional one that doesn’t have pure nicotine in it.
Vegetable glycerin is an all-natural compound derived from plants. It is clear and odourless and serves as a soluble component of energetic components. It is utilized in the food as well as cosmetic markets, as well as is an acknowledged risk-free material by the FDA. Its existence in e-juice is a great thing for vapers. Nonetheless, there are a few things to take into consideration prior to utilizing this substance.
Some e-juices make use of man-made flavorings and also shades. These flavorings may be harmful to your wellness, particularly if you inhale them. Propylene glycol, an usual chemical in food, is toxic to people when inhaled. Vegetable glycerin, another usual flavoring, can trigger lung damages, too. Additionally, evaporating e-juice with a home heating tool creates poisonous compounds and formaldehyde. Flavorings are usually made use of to imitate the taste of tobacco, however not to replace it.
Pure nicotine oxidation
Typically, experienced vapors examination e-juice tastes by tasting a droplet. The pure nicotine oxidation procedure occurs when atoms from the pure nicotine particle react with oxygen in the air. This takes place normally and also does not impact the preference or vapor production of the liquid. Nevertheless, if you see a drastic change in color of the e-juice, after that it is most likely oxidised at a higher price than usual.
One of the common concerns that numerous vapers have is what is the service life of e-juice? The solution to this question depends upon the brand and also manufacturer of the e-liquid. However, there are some common standards you can make use of to ensure that your e-liquid lasts as long as possible. Maintain in mind that the service life of e-liquid will certainly differ depending on the sort of tank, producer, and active ingredients in the e-liquid.
Some e-liquids have hazardous chemicals. These chemicals can be produced when fluids are converted into gases. Among one of the most widely use these poisonous chemicals is diacetyl, which has been linked to lung illness. A brand-new chemical of issue in regard to lung injuries triggered by vaping is vitamin E acetate, which is found in the lungs of 29 patients. A comprehensive review of vape products has recognized a variety of poisonous chemicals in e-liquid. For more regarding prev have a look at our own webpage.
