text: Health more likely to worsenKing attributed the worsened wellness to increased prices of weight problems and inactivity, noting there are now more labor-conserving appliances and devices than previously. Generations were also much more likely to walk or trip bicycles Prior. ‘About half of individuals 20 years ago stated they exercised regularly, which meant 3 x a week, and that rate now could be no more than 18 %,’ King stated. ‘That’s an astonishing change in only one era.’ 52 % of seniors surveyed stated that they got no physical activity at all, in comparison to just 17 % a era before. Similarly, 40 % of seniors are obese, weighed against just 29 % of their parents at the same age group. Medical problems of seniors are only more likely to worsen because they age, King warned.We are confident that the study results and our complete submission have addressed certain requirements outlined by the FDA, and we remain committed to making BYDUREON open to sufferers in the U.S. As soon as possible. BYDUREON may be the proposed brand for exenatide extended-launch for injectable suspension. It is an investigational medicine for type 2 diabetes designed to deliver constant therapeutic levels of exenatide in one weekly dose. BYDUREON can be a once-every week formulation of exenatide, the active ingredient in BYETTA, which has been obtainable in the U.S.

Grizzly faithful invited to Come Home to OU
By Dave Groves, news editor
Plans are shaping up to make Oakland University’s first-ever homecoming celebration an exhilarating, pride-filled and truly memorable experience. In fact, event organizers are hoping that Come Home to OU, set for Feb. 6-7, sets a high standard for what will undoubtedly become a treasured Grizzly tradition.
“We wanted to have an annual homecoming event at the university, and we’re really getting a lot of support and enthusiasm for it.” said OU Dean of Students and Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Glenn McIntosh, who chairs the Come Home to OU planning committee.
“This is a chance for the university community, including those who have moved on in their education and careers, to come back and see how the campus has changed and grown,” he added. “It’s just a really exciting time to be a part of the university, and we’ll be looking to showcase that during this weekend.”
The latest addition to an already long list of exciting homecoming activities is the Winter Ice Skating Party, set to take place from 5-9 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 6. Participants in this free event can glide along to music on an outdoor skating rink in the P16 parking lot. Warm winter treats and hot cocoa will be on hand to enhance the festive occasion.
Those who’ve come to love the carnival-like atmosphere of the Oakland University Alumni Association’s Family Festival will be able to revel in it once again, but now as part of homecoming. The event, which will take place in the OU Recreation Center from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 7, will feature special attractions and entertainment for fun-seekers of all ages.
The OU faithful will help get Come Home to OU under way with a pep rally in Oakland Center at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6. Following that will be a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Center for Student Activities' recent renovations at 1 p.m.
Other homecoming attractions include a roast honoring the more than 25-year careers of OU's swimming and diving coach Pete Hovland, men's basketball coach Greg Kampe and men's soccer coach Gary Parsons; an OU Tailgate Party; and a Casino Night featuring big-ticket prizes.
Of course, the highlights of this historic weekend will be the women’s and men’s basketball games, during which the Golden Grizzlies will host Centenary College in the O’rena. Both games will feature a salute to alumni athletes, and the first 200 fans to arrive for the women’s game will be admitted to both games free of charge.
For a complete list of homecoming activities and further information about specific events, visit the Come Home to OU Web site.

Student numbers have plummeted at three leading Russell Group universities revealing the increasing pressures being placed on the higher education sector.
An analysis of Ucas student recruitment figures from 2015 to 2018 has shown a significant downturn in undergraduates at Manchester, Sheffield and Southampton.
Research by industry title the Times Higher Education revealed Southampton University has seen its student numbers nosedive by 29 per cent since the cap on the number of students universities can recruit was scrapped in 2015.
Manchester has seen its student numbers drop by 9.7 per cent, while Sheffield has slumped by 10.8 per cent.
Premier League of universities
The figures offer a stark insight into the challenges currently facing universities as a result of the increasingly cut-throat competitive market created in the higher education sector and a decline in the number of 18 year olds.
Until recently the biggest falls to student enrolment figures were mainly suffered by newer post-1992 and lower-tariff universities.
News that the problem is being suffered by some of England’s most elite institutions will be a major concern for vice-chancellors.
University bosses are complaining that the new market conditions has resulted in something akin to the divisions in the English football league. And within the ‘Premier League’ of the Russell Group, smaller competing groups have formed to try and attract students.
Liz Carlile, Sheffield’s head of admissions, said: “We have chosen to admit fewer students in order to maintain our rigorous standards and ensure our students are confident and ready to meet the demands of studying with us.”
Manchester University blamed Brexit and the effect it is having on recruiting overseas students for the decline in numbers.
Southampton said its marked decline in enrolments was part of a “planned reduction” in acceptances since 2015.

Top Sword And Sorcery Comics To Slice Into
by Tito W. James
Sword and Sorcery is the bloodier and buffer older brother to fantasy. The genre was pioneered by Robert E. Howard’s, Conan the Barbarian Pulp stories. The genre of Sword and Sorcery is quite versatile and can resonate across different cultures. As a fan of the genre, here are my recommendations for comics about sword-wielding heroes in fantastic worlds.
Based on the books by Michael Moorcock, the Elric graphic novels welcome readers to a lavishly illustrated epic. Elric is essentially a retelling of Shakespeare in a sadomasochistic fetish-inspired fantasy world. Moorcock himself praised the adaptation expressing how these graphic novels represent the story that he would have written if he’d thought of it first.
Slaine: The Horned God
Slaine: The Horned God is a classic that holds up even thirty years after its publication. Writer Pat Mills explores man’s arrogance, connection to feminine-nature, and completely subverts the iconography of associating horns with evil. Simon Bisley’s painterly art screams Heavy Metal energy on every page. If there was ever a story to adapt to screen, it would be Slaine the Horned God.
Who was Santa Claus before he became Father Christmas? A sword-wielding fantasy hero of course! Klaus is one of the most endearing and accessible stories that Grant Morrison has ever written. The psychedelic shamanism is perfectly balanced with a more grounded fantasy world. This is also the series that cemented Dan Mora as one of the most exciting comic artists working today.
HillBilly takes the Sword and Sorcery tropes of a bearded warrior slaying monsters and combines them with Appalachian folklore. We follow Rondel who wields the Devil’s cleaver to smite witches and right wrongs. Rondel is accompanied by a revolving cast of colorful characters including a saber-toothed bear. Creator Eric Powell has painted a portrait of the American spirit worthy of the Arthurian legend.
Described by creator Andrew MacLean as Hellboy meets Conan, Head Lopper is an obvious choice for this list. Head Lopper delivers all the fun and adventure one could hope for from a fantasy story with insanely likable characters and well-paced fights. But don’t let the cartoony visuals fool you, the world of Head Lopper is vast and explores deeper themes than you might expect at first glance.
The Rust Kingdom
Do you like action? The Rust Kingdom has you covered! The Rust Kingdom follows a mysterious stranger as he slices and dices his way through a Hellscape of monstrosities. The whole volume is a non-stop bloody ride of body horror and visceral combat. The action could easily be overwhelming in any other comic; but creator Spugna has such a control of pacing that the reader can enjoy the carnage and the story.
Beowulf by Santiago García and David Rubin is a giant-sized adaption of one of history’s greatest legends. Rubin’s cinematic pacing, creative paneling, and superb monster designs bring this centuries- old epic to life. If you devour Beowulf and still want more, then I’d highly recommend David Rubin’s post-modern adaptation of Heracles titled The Hero.
Berserk is a dark fantasy masterpiece by the late Kentaro Miura. We follow Guts, the Black Swordsman on his quest for revenge against the Hand of God, a Hellraiser-inspired quintet of higher dimensional beings. While the first arc is grim enough to deter most readers, the high point in the series is the Golden Age arc that illustrates the characters’ tragic backstories. Berserk’s influence can be seen in Dark Souls and Castlevania. Now with new readers discovering the series for the first time, we’re sure to see Miura’s influence in stories for decades to come.

Cell-mediated immunity in HIV seronegative patients recovered from Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii meningitis.
Seaton RA., Naraqi S., Wembri JP., Warrell DA.
Cell-mediated immunity was assessed in 37 HIV seronegative healthy patients cured of Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii meningitis and compared with matched controls using a multitest device which simultaneously injects seven standardized common antigens intradermally. Responses in patients and controls were similar: however, male patients had significantly higher compound (average) scores than controls (P = 0.041). Male scores were higher than female scores in both patient (P = 0.002) and control (P = 0.017) groups. In eight patients with acute cryptococcal meningitis, seven were anergic to challenge with 5 IU of tuberculin on admission. Two of these patients had positive reactions after treatment. Three of four patients tested prior to treatment with the multitest device were anergic to all seven antigens but all three survivors showed improved responsiveness following cure. These data suggest that patients are immunosuppressed on presentation (due to overwhelming var. gattii infection) but that following cure, cell-mediated immunity improves to its premorbid state. A transient state of immunosuppression prior to the development of the disease cannot be excluded.

The MPV business may not be a hot one in the United States, but it sure is in China. Specifically, taxi companies and airports love the idea of a multi-purpose vehicle for its usability. Naturally, Buick offers the GL8 to fulfill this need in the People’s Republic.
Car News China has provided a leak showing the all-new GL8 ahead of its scheduled reveal, wearing very familiar styling cues to seen on numerous new Buick product in North America and China. Up front, the grille is Avenir influenced, and gives the MPV a much more upscale look.
Currently, three engines power the GL8, but a single 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder will power the new GL8, and it will also receive independent rear suspension, too, replacing its current torsion beam setup.
The report states the new GL8 will go on sale during the latter half of 2016 in China, with a price of 200,000 Yuan, or around $30,554 USD.

BEIJING (AFP) - Argentina remain Olympic football champions after a goal engineered by superstar Lionel Messi inspired them to a 1-0 win over former champions Nigeria in the gold medal match at the Beijing Games on Saturday.
Messi disentangled himself from Nigeria's tight marking to put teammate Angel Di Maria clear on goal early in the second half of a final played in sapping 35-degree midday heat before a near capacity crowd of 89,102 at the National Stadium.
Benfica's Di Maria chipped over the advancing goalkeeper Ambruse Vanzekin to break the deadlock and score what proved the winning goal in the 58th minute.
"It was a dream game. All I could think of was thank God the ball went over the line and now thanks to that I have a gold medal," Di Maria said.
Argentina successfully defended the Olympic crown from their 1-0 win over Paraguay in Athens four years ago. They are now unbeaten in 12 matches stretching over two Games, an Olympic football record.
Nigeria went in with the pyschological edge of beating Argentina 3-2 in the corresponding final 12 years ago in Atlanta to become the first African Olympic champions.
But although Nigeria kept Messi in check for the most part, he ultimately sunk them with his exhilarating skills in a decider twice halted for water breaks for the heat-stressed players.
"We didn't play our best football today but this victory is a good one for us," Messi said. "The fact that we have been to the athletes village and met famous sportsmen, it's all an experience that we will not forget quickly."
Messi, who almost didn't play in Beijing with Barcelona wanting him back in Spain in time for the Champions League third qualifying round matches, came close to scoring 13 minutes from the end, but was thwarted by a brave covering tackle from Nice central defender Onyekachi Apam.
Messi once again proved Nigeria's nemesis after undoing them in the final of the 2005 FIFA under-20 World Cup in Utrecht when he earned and converted two penalties in a 2-1 win.
"Messi terrorises not only our team, but all teams in Europe. He didn't score but he created a lot of their chances. That is why we have the silver and they have the gold," Nigerian coach Samson Siasia said.
"We're very disappointed, but it means we came second in the Olympic Games. We had a lot of good scoring chances, but you have to score goals to win the gold medal."
The defending champions began well with Di Maria put clear by skipper Juan Riquelme in the ninth minute and was brought down on the edge of the box.
Hertha Berlin right winger Solomon Okoronkwo, the only over-aged player in the Nigerian squad, produced some sweet touches to combine well with striker Victor Obinna.
Sergio Aguero, whose two goals destroyed Brazil in Tuesday's 3-0 semi-final win, was put through by Di Maria but Apam saw off the threat in the 16th minute.
Messi appealed for a penalty when he surged into the area but it was turned down and at the other end left-winger Peter Odemwingie's header was just over the bar.
The baking heat forced Hungarian referee Viktor Kassai to stop play for a water break on the half-hour and on the resumption Odemwingie skipped around Nicolas Pareja and skipper Promise Isaac just missed connecting with the cross.
The ball came back and Isaac's header was saved by Sergio Romero in Nigeria's best chance of the half.
Argentina didn't get their first corner until the 39th minute and just before halftime Apam again defused another Messi threat and Di Maria let fly with a fierce long-range drive which just whistled past the right post.
Messi almost scored minutes after the interval flicking the ball around a defender and unleashing a stinging volley that was taken by Vanzekin.
Apam went into the referee's book for a heavy tackle on Di Maria as Argentina began to take more control of the game.
Messi had a chance moments later skipping clear after winning the ball in a tackle but Apam saved the situation with a great covering tackle on the edge of the box.

Over at BOMquilts.com, you can find a number of quilt and quilt project free patterns to make your house more festive for Christmas, or quick and easy projects to make for gifts!
Here are some very quick and easy free quilt projects from each year of doing my Christmas in July at BOMquilts.com:
I try to keep my stash well rounded with scraps, pre-cut fabrics, fabric yardage, etc. Fat quarters are the one thing that I use most often…and the one thing I deplete in a hurry (I either use all of them or I use part of them so that they go to the scrap baskets). I’ve also noticed I have a lot of a certain color that is not my favorite…and not a whole lot of another color that is one of my faves. About the time I have a project ready to go, I begin searching through all of my fabric bins…only to come up short with some colors I need.
I have been trying to keep a good count, and well rounded stock, of my fat quarters. The best way that I’ve found is to have a list of fat quarter colors readily available, and every three months I try to replenish those fat quarter colors so I am rarely running out of the colors I need.
Fat quarters. Fat Quarters. FAT QUARTERS!!! 🙂
What about you? Do you need to add some fat quarters to your stash? Or need some fat quarters for a current project? If so, check out Fat Quarter Deals! Quality 100% cotton quilt fabric at awesome prices!
Make someone’s Christmas fun and festive with this quilted gift card holder! It can also become an ornament keepsake for years to come! BTW – that gift card, in the photo, is from one of our local quilt shops. LUCKY ME!!!
Ah yes, it’s that time of year again. Time to plan for the holidays. I’m trying to get a jump up on the festivities, since so much of our days are driven by last-minute events for our kids. Is always frustrating, but I think that’s the way it is when the holidays roll around.
Anyway, I am trying to get the kids’ teacher gifts ready ahead of time. I had fun creating a fabric Christmas tree from this tutorial:
And here is my prototype:
Great tutorial created a fun Christmas ornament that will accompany the rest of the teachers’ gifts this year.

On Friday, the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission will begin implementing the voter-approved medical cannabis regime by accepting applications from operator hopefuls and potential patients, the Associated Press reports.
Patient applicants must pay a $50 application fee and, if approved, the card must be renewed annually. State officials are expecting between 20,000 and 40,000 people to apply. Patient applications must include written certifications from a physician whom they have an established relationship demonstrating the patient’s need for medical cannabis.
Applications for would-be operators also open on Friday, applications are available online via the Medical Marijuana Commission’s website.
Patient registration comes later than expected in the state, as the commission had expected to begin the program in March. Lawmakers had attempted to ban smoking and edibles under the constitutional amendment but those changes were blocked by the state Senate.
Despite the victory by voters in November, the measure is still opposed by the state Surgeon General, who expressed concerns about cannabis packaging potentially appealing to children.
“Edibles concern me more than the smoking aspect,” Dr. Greg Bledsoe testified during a Senate legislative committee hearing. “It’s been very difficult to determine the THC levels in some of these products.”
Storm Nolan, founder of the Arkansas Cannabis Industry Association — and whose mother died after becoming addicted to opioid painkillers — said that medical cannabis “cannot come soon enough” for patients.
The initial application period will run until Sept. 18.

Transmission refers to the way germs are moved to a susceptible person. Germs can spread through the air or person to person contact, as well as live on surfaces and in contaminated water. It is important to understand the ways in which we can reduce the amount of transmission, which ultimately helps to slow the spread of many types of viruses and bacteria.
The COVID-19 virus is spread mainly from person-to-person. Primarily between people who are in close contact with one another. When a person coughs or sneezes, respiratory droplets produced when an infected person, posing a risk for those around. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. This shows the importance of maintaining proper social distancing. Some studies have shown that COVID-19 may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms.
There are many measures we can take to ensure the safety of others while also protecting yourself. Make sure to wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. This is critical as bacteria can live on frequently touched surfaces for extended periods of time. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth, or any part of the face. Continue to monitor your health daily. Identify possible symptoms of the virus (Fever or chills, Cough, Shortness of breath, Fatigue, New loss of taste, or smell). Look for emergency warning signs for COVID-19. If you are showing any of these signs, seek emergency medical care immediately. If care is not readily available, take precautions by staying isolated from others, and continuing to use personal protective measures.

|Following Sougwen Chung's esteemed inclusion in the inaugural TIME100 AI list - a tribute to 100 visionaries redefining AI's global impact, HOFA Gallery, London, unveils the artist's latest exhibition which opens to the public from 14 - 25 October 2023. Press preview 13 October 2023, RSVP only.
LONDON, 2023年9月14日 - (亞太商訊) - Contemporary art gallery and art+tech pioneers HOFA, today announce the forthcoming launch of Relational Gestures, a new exhibition by artist and 2023 TIME100 AI list honouree, Sougwen Chung, from 14 - 25 October at their flagship in London's Mayfair and is open to the public.
|Sougwen Chung, 2020, Exquisite Corpus performance still, Courtesy of the Artist
The Chinese-Canadian artist and artistic director of London-based studio, Scilicet, is renowned for their visionary and speculative practice exploring human-AI collaboration. Sougwen Chung's forthcoming 2-week show is centred on the idea of hybridity as a relational approach which resolves adversarial perceptions of AI through balance, openness, and imagination.
The 'Human and Machine' collaborative hybrid is fundamental to Sougwen Chung's research-driven practice and the Relational Gestures HOFA exhibition will feature physical paintings and artefacts, digital videos, AR sculptures and immersive media installations that demonstrate this hybridity in subtle and compelling ways. The artist will also offer some of their works as collectible NFTs.
Reflecting on the potential impact of their upcoming show, Sougwen Chung says, "Relational Gestures will showcase a body of artefacts and new works that result from a hybrid process, encouraging the viewer to look beyond screens and flat interfaces to imagine the possible sensory mixes of the future. Through the work, I am thinking deeply about how the human hand, how human creative capabilities, might evolve as a direct result of the possibilities afforded by embodied AI."
The 2023 TIME100 AI list features leaders, policymakers, artists and entrepreneurs who are advancing major conversations about how AI is reshaping the world, and Sougwen Chung earned a prized place as an 'Innovator' on it through their bold, thought-provoking gestural artworks and performances where AI is shown to be much more than a generative tool.
Sougwen Chung's work with AI represents a significant divergence from the dominant AI paradigm, drawing in diverse audiences from art lovers and AI enthusiasts to art+tech watchers and experts in robotics and machine learning. Most notable among their growing range of artworks are their artworks and performances created in collaboration with AI-powered robotic arm, DOUG, which have won critical acclaim around the world.
The former MIT Media Lab Fellow and Google Artist in Residence is very accomplished in their multidisciplinary niche, having received several awards and been exhibited in prestigious museums such as the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Geneva, and the NTT Intercommunication Center (ICC) in Tokyo. Their work has also been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Fast Company, WIRED, and more.
HOFA Co-Founder and art+tech entrepreneur Elio D'Anna considers Relational Gestures a major part of the Gallery's fall line-up: "Sougwen's exhibition is an interesting departure from what we usually see with AI art because their process is as much a part of the show as their captivating gestural paintings. Being honoured as an Innovator in the TIME100 AI list is also a huge accolade and demonstrates the significance of their work. We are very excited about their upcoming show."
When asked what motivates their expanding artistic practice, Sougwen explains, "I've seen how an interdisciplinary curiosity can be a force for breaking barriers between the arts, sciences, technology, design and engineering, and I'm interested in how art can shape our cultural imagination about technology."
Sougwen Chung's 'Relational Gestures' exhibition is open to the public 14 - 25 October 2023 at HOFA Gallery. London.

The interesting Arc Touch Mouse has some cool features, including a bendable surface to conform to the users hand. The mouse will come with three standard left, right and middle click buttons. The mouse will be able to track on any surface, using BlueTrack sensor technology. The mouse is connected by a 2.4-GHz nano-transceiver, an on and off switch and features a battery status indicator to alert you when you need to change your battery.
The mouse is the result of a Microsoft Research program dubbed "Mouse 2.0". The project detailed different designs for a prototype multi-touch mouse and one of the prototypes looks similar to the current Microsoft Arc Mouse. Microsoft officials published a research PDF paper in October 2009 which contained pictures of a possible multi touch mouse. Microsoft's hardware twitter account tweeted two different pictures over the past week (see below).
The Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse is rumored to retail for $69.95 USD this September.

By Mad Marx Nov. 09, 2016
India should refrain from pushing the panic button over Donald Trump. Our ties with the US are dependent on how well our leadership navigates the choppy waters of diplomacy.
Ihave been pondering the use of the word “upset” while reading the news these days. Be it elections or sports, the term seems to gather currency every time things don’t go according to what the general perception is built up to be. It’s a word I have heard/read frequently since morning, following the results of the US presidential election on major American news channels today. Nearly everyone has labelled Donald Trump’s victory a “stunning upset”.
But, I believe, upset is a rather strong term to use. Like in sports, you never know the result before it happens. Similarly, all the exit polls don’t tell you which way the real vote will swing. And in a democracy, elections mean a vote by the people for a government of the people. So, Trump did win. It is not an upset, unless we are talking about the predictions of liberal media outlets (and the feelings of several anchors on those channels). It just reflects the popular will.
So, what does this Trump victory tell us?
First, it means that the experts misread actual sentiments. Ironically, it also proves that high-decibel Arnab has a point: The national mood is not reflected in the cosy confines of a capital city or in the drawing rooms of the rich and famous where celebrity intellectuals debate. India proved that Arnab was right in 2014, and this year, so did the United Kingdom and the United States. Political experts’ misreading of the situation is akin to economists’ off-by-a-mile forecasts. That happens when one lets opinion take the place of hard facts and data. Analysts will do well to remember this.
Second, democracy has come a full circle in the United States. A country that abolished slavery and moved away from segregation suddenly finds itself divided. You might ask how it came to this, but the answer is not difficult when you think hard about it. In a world riven with borders, ideology, and religion, open borders in the name of free speech and freedom cannot subsist for long without checks and balances. Both Europe and the United States have paid the price. Too many wars and controversies add to the muddle of bad politics trumping good economics and society. History is again witness to this fact.
Third, there is a new dawn for both the extreme Left and Right. Mind you, this push is not coming from politicians alone, but from people who have been left out of the benefits of economic progress of the last few decades. Rise in income inequality in the West coupled with the advent of strong emerging economies has led to calls for protectionism, once heard only in the corridors of power in developing economies. Recent events in the Middle East and the large influx of people from there and Africa have added to the confusion. The result? The extreme Left and the Right have come together, not consciously, but nevertheless in an unsaid and unhealthy coalition. The centre is no longer sexy, nor is the current establishment.
The dominance of the Republicans and the Democrats in the United States has made democracy less acceptable to those who want the best of both.
Fourth, Western capitalism and democracy would do well to take some lessons from Asia. The simple rule of a free market economy is that competitive forces must persist to keep the system efficient. The West has forgotten that rule, which they often used to preach to Asia with abandon. So, if you are high on debt, cut down spending. If your labour markets are rigid, make them free. If your regulations are restrictive, strike them down. Asia did that, raising its share in the global economy. It’s high time governments in the West practice what they preach.
The same goes for democracy. The dominance of the Republicans and the Democrats in the United States has made democracy less acceptable to those who want the best of both. Maybe it’s time for Americans to learn something from India and its chaotic polity.
Finally, to all those who have been asking me, “What does it mean for India?” There are fears that H1B visas will be curbed and will affect Indian workers’ entry to the US, software and manufacturing jobs outsourced to the Indian market, and who knows what will happen with Pakistan? But over and above that, the overwhelming fear that I sense is that his election as the leader of the free world, will only aggravate the vulgar xenophobia his campaign has been premised on. (You only have to take a look at the rest of the world to know that some of these fears are already being manifest across the globe.)
But maybe we should refrain from pushing the panic button just yet. India-US relations are dependent on how well our leadership navigates the choppy waters of international diplomacy, and there just might be an opportunity here if we proceed with caution.
General perception dictates that American democratic presidents have never proved to be India’s best friends. Even though Trump’s stance on H1B visas and immigration might have put Indians on the back foot, his pro-business attitude might eventually align with Indian interests. (Let’s remember that a lot of anti-immigration rhetoric is aimed at Mexicans and Muslims.)
Trump’s Penny Plan to cut federal spending would mean a more prominent role for private businesses in creating jobs. Which means more opportunity for big and small Indian businesses to invest in the US. Also, with key markets weak and volatile, we have yet another chance to attract a large chunk of global capital and emerge as a highly competitive economy. Investors will be looking for returns and India can oblige.
We have to play our cards smartly now. I think it is a good time to take the US-India economic relationship forward while keeping China and Russia interested. Remember, China did that earlier and succeeded.
“Make in India” Modi will never have it this good. He should ride the Trump wave and Make India Great Again.

Potato dextrose agar media is primarily exercised for the growth and isolation of different yeasts and moulds. It can be practised in the form of a liquid broth and solid culture medium.
PDA media serves as an ordinary growth medium for the yeasts and moulds, but it can be made selective by incorporating selective agents like tartaric acid, chloramphenicol etc.
PDA media comprises potato infusion and dextrose sugar that gives a nutrient base and the carbohydrate source, respectively, for the fungal growth.
In this post, we will discuss the principle, appearance, composition, role of the chemical constituents, media preparation of the potato dextrose agar media. Also, the storage, results, uses and limitations of the PDA media have been explained.
Content: Potato Dextrose Agar
Principle of Potato Dextrose Agar Media
Potato dextrose agar media principally works as the ordinary or selective medium, which determines the growth or presence of different yeasts and fungi from the different samples that are important for sanitary purpose, especially food products.
It can be supplemented with selective agents like acids and antibiotics (chloramphenicol, tartaric acid and chlortetracycline) that restrict bacterial growth that may interfere with the fungal growth. Potato dextrose agar media is clinically significant for the culturing, isolation and maintenance of fungi (like yeasts and moulds).
- In dehydrated form: The potato dextrose broth appears as a homogenous solution and light amber in colour.
- In prepared form: Potato dextrose agar media appears slightly opalescent and light amber in colour.
Potato Dextrose Agar Composition
The ingredients of the potato dextrose agar media in 1 L of distilled water include:
- Potato: 200 g
- Dextrose: 20 g
- Agar: 20 g
Potato dextrose agar is supplemented with some selective agents, which quantity for the 1 L of deionized water includes:
- Chlortetracycline: 40.0 mg
- Chloramphenicol: 25.0 mg
- Tartaric acid: 1.4 g
Role of Media Components
The potato infused in PDA medium supplies the nutrient base for the development of yeasts and moulds. Dextrose is a fermentable carbohydrate that supplies a sole C-source to promote fungal growth.
Agar acts as a solidifying agent of the media. The selective antibiotics and organic acids in PDA inhibit bacterial growth. TA (Tartaric acid) in the PDA medium enumerates the microbe’s presence in food and dairy products.
Sometimes, antibiotic like chlortetracycline serves as a selective agent that enumerates the microbial population from cosmetics. Chloramphenicol is also an antibiotic that supports fungal cultivation from mixed samples.
Preparation of PDA Media
The preparation of potato dextrose agar media follows the given protocol:
To infuse 200 grams of potato in the PDA media, we need to follow the following steps:
- Firstly, wash the potatoes, followed by peeling and weighing, cut the potatoes into small pieces.
- Then, cook the chopped potatoes in 500 ml of distilled water for 20 minutes in a pressure cooker.
- Collect the potato extract into the conical flask by using a muslin cloth or net filter.
Melting of Solid Agar
- After this step, add 20 grams of agar into the pressure cooker along with 500 ml of distilled water for about 30 minutes.
Mixing of media components
- Weigh 20 grams of dextrose accurately and add it into a sterilized conical flask having potato extract.
- Finally, thoroughly mix the molten agar with the potato dextrose mixture and make the volume to 1 litre by adding distilled water.
- Then, put a cotton plug into the mouth of the conical flask to avoid any contamination.
Autoclaving or Sterilization
- After getting a homogenous solution, subject the flask to autoclave sterilization at 15 lbs pressure for 20 minutes.
- Then, take out the flask from the autoclave directly to the laminar airflow chamber to perform plating. You can keep the remaining media in a refrigerator for further use.
Checking of pH
Before plating, check the pH of the media by dipping one end of a small piece of litmus paper into the medium. Then take out the litmus paper and compare the colour formed with the colour chart of the litmus paper book.
- If the pH is above 7, we need to add a few drops of 0.1N HCl to make the pH of the media neutral.
- If the pH is below 7, we need to add a few drops of 0.1 N NaOH to make the pH of the media to 7 or neutral.
Ideally, the PDA media must be kept under refrigeration (at 2-8 degrees Celsius). If there is cracking, discolouration or any other signs of contamination, then the media must be discarded. The media should be kept away from the direct light.
The result can be indicated by the growth of fungi in the culture media.
- Yeasts: They develop as creamy white colonies.
- Moulds: They appear as filamentous colonies with different margins, colours and texture over the culture media.
- Potato dextrose agar detects the presence of fungal biomass in dairy and prepared food products.
- Potato dextrose agar with tartaric acid examines microbes attacking food and dairy products.
- PDA media with chlortetracycline enumerates yeast and mould counts from cosmetics.
- Potato dextrose agar with chloramphenicol selectively supports the growth of fungi from the mixed samples.
PDA media only detects the presence or absence of multicellular fungi, but the isolated fungi require biochemical, immunological, molecular, or mass spectrometry testing for the confirmed identification.

Amnesty International on Thursday urged Egypt to free the founder of an association that taught children the Koran and who the rights group said had been held without charge since 2007, beaten and denied medical attention.
Mohammed Farid Farrag, 38, was arrested in November 2007 in Qalyoubiya north of Cairo, the human rights group said.
It said Farrag has started a hunger strike to protest his treatment, but did not give details.
"He has never been under investigation or charged and the Egyptian Ministry of Interior has ignored seven orders by the courts to release him," Amnesty said in a statement.
Egypt's government has long been wary of Islamist groups or individuals. It crushed an Islamist uprising in the 1990s.
Interior Ministry officials were not immediately available for comment. Officials routinely deny charges of torture.
Egypt has an emergency law in force since the assassination of President Anwar Sadat in 1981 that allows indefinite detention and trials in military courts. Rights groups and Western states have said it should be lifted.
This month, the United States and several European countries urged Egypt to ensure civil liberties and lift the emergency law before parliamentary elections later this year and a presidential poll in 2011.
Farrag's family filed a complaint with the public prosecutor on his behalf on the same day Egypt submitted a report to the United Nations Human Rights Council denying that torture was widespread, Egyptian human rights activist Hossam Bahgat said.
Egypt had strict punishments for any public employee involved in torture, Egypt said in its report submitted for the UN's Universal Permanent Review (UPR).
A group of 16 Egyptian rights groups said in a joint report late last year that about 12,000 to 14,000 people, some detained for 15 years, are being held without charge or trial even though many have been granted release orders.

There are two “Boycott” projects. One is the Limited Series tv show – six one-hour episodes. The multiple award-winning pilot script is written for this show. The TV series stands on its own as a project we wish to see produced, and available on cable or streaming platforms.
As a prestige, historical-fiction, period thriller, the “Boycott” TV series delivers exciting, compelling and multi-layered, familial and intergenerational storylines. At the core of this four-quadrant, top Bechdel rated series is the female co-leads – Fanny Levy and Sarah Edelson, living lives of toil and tedium set in an extraordinary time and place – New York City, Lower East Side at the turn of the 20th Century. At this time, the Lower East Side is being flooded with Eastern European immigrants – most notably Jews, Italians, and the Irish. These groups and others were giving shape to what would become the human capital foundation of the burgeoning country.
A Limited-Series Spinoff
A Limited Series Spin-Off is already envisioned, using, of course, characters with whom the audience is invested, and with whom there emotional resonance – specifically, the “children.” The spinoff picks up about 10 years later, still in NYC, with the kids, now young adults, working in the garment trades, at arguably, the pinnacle of New York City’s emergence as a leader in the garment industry. Like the original series, the spinoff is grounded in historical facts and inspired by real-life incidents of the day – incidents of national significance.
“Boycott: A NYC 1902 Hip-Hop Musical
The videos below were produced as part of the musical recording process that took place over nine months. Jeff Mustard concluded that the Boycott TV series had all the ingredients for a musical stage play – visually rich, but also limited sets – a manageable cast – and a captivating story. With this in mind, and fiercely inspired by “Hamilton,” Mustard proceeded to write lyrics, braiding fiction and non-fiction elements into the musical compositions. The result is six songs comprising a little more than 60 minutes of music that, according to Mustard’s vision represents the first Act of a musical stage play.
The “official teaser video” provided below AND ALL OTHER videos – all music-driven – are representative of the hip-hop oeuvre, and speaks to a commercial, and wide, family-friendly, demographic.
Below are four song teaser videos. These are approx :60 cut downs of the actual “Full Length” promo trailers of each song. The Full Length Promo’s vary in length from 3:14 – 4:21
This song is the final number of the “proof of concept,” performance of the mostly “music-driven” preview live stage show. This number, “More in Store,” serves various purposes: First, It’s a highlights recap of the fantastic historical insights relative to the incidents of the 1902 Kosher Beef Boycott. Second, it takes the audience on a musical journey reflecting the show’s time and place. Third, it offers stunning perceptions into president Roosevelt’s vital backstory before his ascendency as the nation’s Commander in Chief. As revealed in the storyline of the show, just barely four years earlier, Roosevelt volunteered as a Rough Rider to lead the nation’s cavalry aiding Cuba in its fight for independence in the 1898 Spanish American War. The importance of this incident cannot be overstated, not just from a historical perspective, but to gain a unique understanding of President Theodore Roosevelt’s impulse to confront the nation’s powerful Beef Trust.

Updated, 6:42 p.m. | New York film circles were abuzz early Tuesday with the spectacle that threatened to overshadow the awards ceremony held the previous night: an outburst at the New York Film Critics Circle awards.
By Tuesday morning, the critics’ group took the rare step of apologizing; by Tuesday evening, the critic at the heart of the contretemps said he was being maligned.
“You’re an embarrassing doorman and garbage man!” a man reportedly hollered as Steve McQueen stepped to the podium at the Edison Ballroom on Monday night to accept, from Harry Belafonte, the group’s best director award for “12 Years a Slave.”
Media outlets like The Hollywood Reporter and Huffington Post identified the man as Armond White, the film critic for CityArts who is known for contrarian views.
On Tuesday, Joshua Rothkopf, the Time Out New York writer who is chairman of the critics’ circle, sent an apology to Fox Searchlight Pictures, which released “12 Years a Slave,” and also asked that his words be forwarded to Mr. McQueen.
“On behalf of the New York Film Critics Circle, I apologize sincerely for the crass bit of heckling Mr. McQueen encountered,” Mr. Rothkopf wrote. “I’m mortified to learn that this was from one of our own members.”
He added that “disciplinary action” was being taken, though did not specify what that would be.
But Mr. White, a member of the circle who has slammed “12 Years a Slave” as “torture porn,” said he never yelled anything, and was aghast at the way he was portrayed. “I was misquoted, lied about,” he said, reached by phone on Tuesday night. “I didn’t yell anything. I was talking among my friends at the table.”
“What I read on the Internet today is outrageous and I don’t know what that means,” he added.
He also said that he did not hear anyone yelling at the event, and that when he read that he had been cited as yelling out “garbage man” and “doorman,” it further made no sense: Mr. McQueen had just taken the stage and had not said a thing. “It’s a lie,” Mr. White said. “It’s not true and the lie gets repeated and repeated.”

HUBUNGAN OBESITAS SENTRAL DENGAN HIPERURISEMIA
WATI, ERIKA DIANA
MetadataShow full item record
Background: Abdominal Obesity is excessive accumulation of fat in the body, which has more risk of the disease compared with peripheral obesity. In Indonesia, the 2007 national data indicated an obesity prevalence of 19.1% among individuals aged 15 years and older. A previous study in mice adipose tissue and adipocyte could produce and secrete uric acid through xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) and that the production was enhanced in obesity Methods: This study was a quantitative research with observational research design and analytic cross sectional approach. Samples of this study taken with consecutive sampling were abdominal obesity patients in Puskesmas Pandak I Bantul which amounts to 60 respondents in detail 30 female and 30 male. Analysis of the data Pearson correlation test to see the relationship between abdominal obesity and hyperuricemia. Result: Respondents from the 46–55 age group who had highest frequencies in this study, 21 female respondents whereas 15 male respondents. The value of p =0,021 meant there was correlation between gender and age. The most frequently encountered waist circumference was 90-99cm as many as 13 female and 19 male. The calculation results showed the value of p = 0.001 meant that there was a relationship waist circumference and gender. There was no significant correlation between abdominal obesity and hyperuricemia with p = 0.181 and r = 0.251 for female while in male the value of p = 0.322 and r = 0.187. The relationship between two variables where both female and male were weak and had positive correlation. Conclusion: From this study we could conclude that there was not a statistically correlation between abdominal obesity and hyperuricemia.

Maps : GTM - Tiffany Mountain
Stats : 7.5 mi , 2400' r/t
It looked like the last day of blue skies, sunshine, and warmer temps at elevation before the current area of high pressure broke down so Steve, Lloyd, and I made the drive above Winthrop to the Tiffany Mountain area to do a day hike by Tiffany Lake, up Rock Mountain across to Middle Tiffany then back.
I always like going up that way, for many reasons, one being the drive is so scenic it's all most like part of the hike.
The skies were blue, it was cool to start, but we had full sun fairly early which was warm. We passed Tiffany Lake which had some areas of thin ice in places and some fish rising, and once beyond the lake we gained some elevation on the trail to get around Rock's SW lower cliffy ridge and headed up it's long, as in section of longness SW slope which was beautifully open and had great views both near and far, the exception being some controlled burning to the SE. Each time you though you were going to come over a high spot and see a summit, no, there was more flattish slope leading higher.
Near the beginning of the Tiffany Lake Trail.
Upper slope of Rock the summmit just beyond the highpoint.
It wasn't the kind of thing you cared about the gentle slope was getting you there in grand style, on a wonderful Fall day. Eventually we were on Rock's summit taking in the views, a long with a small break after which we dropped down the open slopes to the sparsely tree'd saddle and up Middle Tiffany where we had lunch. You could see the basins where the lakes hang in Tiffany Mountains Northface and where Whistler Pass would go up.

It did become windy and cooler at the summit and you could see clouds coming in far to the West, so we made our way back down and a cross the saddle where it was much warmer and out of the wind, dropping down and intersecting with the Tiffany Lakes trail. We stopped by the lake again on the way out to watch the fish swimming around, then made it back to the TH.
It was a really scenic hike on an awesome Fall day, shorter than most, but not as hurried. As always, Thanks for the company and fun Steve and Lloyd.

|When Rob suggested we grab the remaining clear day before impending snow I was eager, even with a sore foot from my spill on 7FJ. It could not have been nicer Fall weather. This rather low key hike pays off with views as good as you get from much more rigorous hikes. All in all well worth the two and half hour drive north from Wenatchee. Great day, great camaraderie.

This is a searing portrait of the human devastation wrought by the Bosnian wars, and their aftermath – told through the stories of those who are left alive and looking for their families and their remains – by a young writer who has all the makings of a Kapuscinski or a Gourevitch.This book is suitable for readers of Philip Gourevitch, Janine Di Giovanni, Timothy Garton Ash, Slavenka Drakulic, Fergal Keane, Michael Ignatieff, Anna Funder, Misha Glenny.During four years of war in Bosnia, over 100,000 people lost their lives. But it was months, even years, before the mass graves started to yield up their dead and the process of identification, burial and mourning could begin. For many, the waiting, the searching and the suspended grieving still continues.Here we travel through the ravaged post-war landscape in the company of a few of those who survived, as they visit the scenes of their loss: a hall where the clothing of victims is displayed; an underground cave with its pale jumble of bones; a camp for homeless refugees; a city now abandoned to the ghosts of painful memories; and a funeral service where a family finally says goodbye.

Honeycrisp apples are known for their sweet-tart flavour and crisp bite. Native to America, this high-quality dessert apple is grown in cooler climates.
They are typically grown in the Northern and Midwest regions of America. This crunchy and sweet apple was bred for taste. However, it is not easy to grow and store them. Moreover, it is not ideal for shipping.
It comes with a hefty price tag. If you are an apple-snacking person, chances are you try to find Honeycrisp apple UK because it is not radially available in the UK.
This is a unique variety of apples, but there are some apple varieties that you can consume instead of Honeycrisp apple. Let’s talk about the history of Honeycrisp apple, Honeycrisp apple UK equivalent and more. Let’s get into it!
What are they?
Honeycrisp apples are an American variety that was first bred in the agriculture research centre of the University of Minnesota. This yellowish-green apple is considered one of the best crispy apple varieties of the last century. Unlike other American apples, the Honeycrisp apple offers balanced acidity to its flavour.
Its sweet and tangy flavour makes it an ideal choice for apple snacking. This light textured apple comes in medium to large sizes, and it is covered with an orange-red flush and has yellow or light green colour.
Their crispiness remains the same when you store them. This apple variety is one of the most produced varieties of apples commercially worldwide. People love it for its bright colour, crisp texture, tangy and sweet flavour.
They pay double or sometimes triple for its crisp and sweet-tart flavour that no other traditional variety offers. Its hefty price tag is probably due to its demand, but that is not the case. It is difficult to grow them because it prefers cooler northern climates to flourish.
Today, it is the state fruit of Minnesota which is the Midwestern state of the United States where winters are snowy, freezing and windy.
It is best known for its crunch, juiciness and sweetness. It comes with a unique texture that is due to its cellular level. Studies have revealed that the size of Honeycrisp cells is double the size of cells in other apple varieties.
You can store them in the refrigerator, and they can stay juicy and fresh for up to six months. You can use them in baking, salads and cooking, and they can also be eaten raw as a snack.
Bit of history on the apple
This unique apple variety was first introduced in 1991 by the American University of Minnesota. They were developed in the agriculture experiment station of the University of Minnesota in the 1960s.
They were bred with the intention of creating a variety of apples that could withstand the continental style weather climate of Minnesota. You can call it a modern apple variety that was developed through crossbreeding techniques.
This cold hard apple variety is classified as Malus Domestica. In Europe, they are known as HoneyCrunch apples. This is the most disease-resistant variety that belongs to the Rosaceae family.
Do they have them in the UK?
Honey crispapples have been bred to tolerate Minnesota’s extreme cold weather climates. As the climate in the UK is significantly different, they would not do well here. They are not grown commercially in the United Kingdom because of their susceptibility to mildew.
However, you can buy its tree in the UK if you want to grow it in your garden.
It is rarely sold in the United Kingdom. . If you live in the UK and don’t find them in the supermarket, then consider buying their equivalent.
What is the equivalent called in the UK?
If you are an American living in the UK, you might not find this American apple variety at your local supermarket. Orchards promote other apple varieties with similar texture, crispness, and flavour profiles.
The UK climate doesn’t suit to grow them commercially. There are some Honeycrisp apples UK substitutes that come with a less hefty price tag and provide you with the genuinely sweet flavour and satisfying crunch you love. There are a lot of British apple varieties that have a similar texture and taste as this American apple variety has.
These apple varieties include pink lady, scrumptious, Saturn and others. Scrumptious is pretty similar to honey crisp apples, which is an English cultivar and more suited to the climate of the UK.
Best equivalents in the UK
If you are looking for the best equivalents to Honeycrisp apples in the UK, luckily, you have plenty of different varieties that you will love.
Consider picking these varieties, which have almost the same qualities as this rosy blush apple, without hurting your wallet.
Some apple varieties in the UK share the same firmness, sweetness, crispness, and tartness as your favourite honey crisp.
Pink lady apples, a.k.a. Cripps apples native to Australia, are a popular apple variety available in any grocery store. There are a lot of characteristics that both varieties share i.e. sweetness, crisp crunch and juicy flavour.
Like Honey crisp apples, you can eat them raw due to their ultra-crunchiness, texture and juicy white flesh that offers sweet flavour in every bite.
Bright in colour, this Australian apple is perfect for snacking like honey crisp. Moreover, you can use them in cooking too. They have rosy pink skin with yellow or green undertones.
In the UK, they are radially available in the produce section of the grocery store.
Pink Lady apples sold in the UK are imported from other countries. It is very exciting that you can now buy UK-grown pink lady, which is the best Honeycrisp apple UK equivalent.
Saturn is another apple variety that is a great equivalent to the Honeycrisp apple. Like Honeycrisp, they are also disease resistant apple variety. It is a modern apple known for its crisp flesh and sweet flavour.
With a clear appearance, Saturn is a deep red in colour with a yellow tinge to the crisp textured flesh. However, it is not as crispy as honey crisp apple, but it offers great flavour, but not too much sugary. With high juice content, Saturn is an ideal apple for juicing.
This apple variety is not too much popular in the UK and is suitable for eating fresh and making apple juice.
Scrumptious is a modern English apple that can be a good substitute for honey crisp. This early dessert apple is best known for its sweet flavour, and its distinctive flavour makes its way to the market.
No other early-season apples come with more flavour than scrumptious apples. Its flavour sets it apart from other varieties. Moreover, it is the most successful garden apple variety because of its resistance to early-season diseases, unlike other early season apples.
It has creamy white flesh described as honeyed, sweet but not sugary, crunchy, fragrant and aromatic. The fruit is primarily good for eating raw rather than cooking. You can use even this sweet apple with cheese.
For instance, you can try tangy blue cheese or mild cheddar with scrumptious apples to enjoy the marriage of savoury and sweet. However, this sweet apple doesn’t store well like other early season apple varieties and must be used within a week or two.
What to look for in a good Equivalent
Honey crisp is best known for its distinctive crisp, sweet flavour and incredible juiciness. When looking for a Honeycrisp apple UK equivalent, consider buying a variety that has the same characteristics as Honeycrisp apple.
The consistent crunch of Honeycrisp apple is set it apart from other varieties, but there are some apple varieties that have the same potential. Pink Lady and Scrumptious are the best Honeycrisp equivalent because it offers almost the same crispness.
Honeycrisp apples offer a good flavour. Some apple varieties are radially available in the UK, and they are rich in flavour. Scrumptious has a good sweet flavour when planted in a sunny position.
The excellent flavour is driven by the acid level, sugar levels and aromatic compounds. Their acid levels also determine tartness. If you love the flavour of Honeycrisp apples and they are not available at the supermarket, consider these factors to buy other apple varieties.
Honeycrisp apples offer a balance of tart and sweet flavours that make them unique. The standout point of this variety is not only its flavour profile but also its juiciness and texture.
Saturn apple also has awesome juiciness. So if you are looking for a good Honeycrisp equivalent that is juicy, pick this deep red apple.
Honeycrisp apples are one of a kind apple variety due to their combination of texture and flavour. There is no doubt that it has unique characteristics that most apples don’t have. However, the varieties mentioned above can be the best equivalent to Honeycrisp apple UK. Have you ever tried the honey crisp apple UK equivalent? Let us know in the comment box!
Ever since I started cooking I’ve been fascinated by how different people’s techniques are and how they best utilise the ingredients around them. Even the person living next door will have their own unique way of frying an egg or cooking a salmon fillet.
This fascination led me on a journey across the globe to discover the countless practices and traditions the world of cooking has to offer. I thought you’d enjoy and find value in sharing that journey with me so I created Cooked Best!


I'm working on a design of Sine wave generator. The sine shall be in phase with
reference square signal 500Hz. The amplitude shall be controllable. I'm
thinking about use some DDS IC (AD5932).
My question is: Is it possible to control the output amplitude of the sine
signal by this IC? Or do I need to use some controlled amplifier?
It would be nice to know the amplitude range...there are different case
1.Use a part like the AD9838, this part has a pin (FSADJUST) that allows to
control the full scale voltage by controlling the current. There is an AN about
that but generally speaking the span is really small.
2.If you want wide span, the recommendation is :
a.Fixed gain TIA + control full scale voltage
b.Variable GAIN TIA, you can control the amplitude with a digipot for example.
There is a third case, the part has not FSADJUST pin, like the AD5932, use
You can use a non-inverting amplifier instead of TIA if you don't have negative
supply available for the TIA.

Rising air temperatures, possibly the consequence of global warming, are melting the ice from above. (That's been the standard line.) Now, a British researcher has concluded that warmer water is also rising from the depths to attack the ice from below. His name is professor Peter Wadhams of the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge.

Arctic Ice Melting from Below
BBC News Online, Mar 27, 2002
Scientists believe they have identified a mechanism which can explain the thinning of the Arctic sea ice. They say the thinning, which in summer reaches more than 40% in some areas, has two causes. Rising air temperatures, possibly the consequence of global warming, are melting the ice from above. And warmer water is also rising from the depths to attack the ice from below. Professor Peter Wadhams, of the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge, UK, said in 2000 that he had established the degree of thinning using measurements from submarines in 1976 and 1996. He said these showed that in that time a large area of the sea ice, stretching from the North Pole to the Fram Strait between Svalbard and Greenland, had thinned by 43% during the Arctic summer. US data from the other side of the Arctic, between the Pole and the Bering Strait, found a similar thinning over the same period.
The reported melting has been questioned by some scientists who believe the ice is still there, concentrated in areas where the submarines have not looked for it. But Professor Wadhams says the thinning he has detected, from 16ft (4.8m) 20 years ago to 9ft (2.7m) today, is scientifically explicable. He told BBC News Online: "People say global warming can't be raising air temperatures enough to melt the ice, because the Arctic winter temperature is around -30C anyway, and a one-degree warming would be irrelevant. But it's the summer temperatures that matter. Arctic summers are getting longer, so there is longer for the warmer air to melt the snow and affect the ice beneath. The other mechanism is the warming of one or two degrees in the water under the ice - enough to increase the bottom melting quite considerably. There is a cold water layer immediately beneath the ice. But that's changing its stability and salinity, because of changes in the distribution of Siberian river water in the Arctic. Over a large area that cold water is becoming more saline and denser, which means it's letting more heat rise through it."

|Project Title||Freedom Narratives of the Atlantic Slave Trade|
|Description of Research Project
The Freedom Narratives Project, funded by SSHRC, involves the development of an open source, relational database and website (www.freedomnarratives.org) of biographical data on individuals born in West Africa during the era of trans-Atlantic slavery in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. The Project involves the collection of data on individuals and the preparation of data for entry into spread sheets and ultimately for ingesting into the website. After a PDF of all primary sources materials has been isolated and a brief summary is composed of what is known about each individual, information is then entered on spread sheets according to the metadata fields that have been designed. The spread sheets then form the basis of information sent to the Matrix Center for Digital Humanities and Social Science at Michigan State University, which has designed the back end of the website according to its Kora platform.
|Undergraduate Student Responsibilities
The student will survey published materials on expressive cultures and the African diaspora. This would also require updating the existing bibliography for the project and creating or uploading PDF versions of all materials into a database. In addition, the student would assist in the implementation of the project website (www.expressivecultures.com), including the ingestion of data, videos, images, and recordings of materials that are already available in the collections of collaborators. The student would also write a paper or report for the project team that outlines what research has been done, based on an analysis of the materials that have been assembled. It is possible that such a paper/report would be submitted to the undergraduate conference hosted by the Tubman Institute.
The student should have experience in bibliographic work, research in surfing the web and exploring library resources, and computer skills in working with the development of websites. The student needs to be able to work with visual editing software and have experience in creating visual database. Knowledge of French, Portuguese or Spanish is desirable.
