A few observations on the present state of this art have been added, and a short account of sculpture as related to the art of painting.

Dose-dependent exacerbation of ventilation-induced lung injury by erythropoietin in preterm newborn lambs.

J Appl Physiol (1985) | Published : 2019
Erythropoietin (EPO) is being trialled in preterm infants to reduce brain injury, but high doses increase lung injury in ventilated preterm lambs. We aimed to determine whether early administration of lower doses of EPO could reduce ventilation-induced lung injury and systemic inflammation in preterm lambs. Ventilation was initiated in anaesthetized preterm lambs [125 ± 1 (SD) days gestation] using an injurious strategy for the first 15 min. Lambs were subsequently ventilated with a protective strategy for a total of 2 h. Lambs were randomized to receive either intravenous saline (Vent; n = 7) or intravenous 300 ( n = 5), 1,000 (EPO1000; n = 5), or 3,000 (EPO3000; n = 5) IU/kg of human recom..View full abstract

HELSINGBORG, 4 March 2022
Sweden and Japan are on a par with 1-1 after the opening day’s singles in Davis Cup by Rakuten Qualifiers tie in Helsingborg.
In front of about 2,000 spectators inside Helsingborg Arena, Yosuke Watanuki the away team got off to a flying start with a 6-4, 6-4 win over world number 327 Dragos Nicolae Madaraswhich replaced Sweden’s top-ranked players Mikael Ymer. World number 85 was forced to withdraw from the match due to a wrist injury.
Watanuki took advantage of all their five break point chances to win after one hour and 21 minutes.
Later in the evening, Mikael’s big brother Elias Ymer defeated Japan’s No. 1 player Taro Daniel 7-5, 6-4. World number 133 beat 19 winners and broke his rivals serve three times to secure the victory in one hour and 57 minutes.
– Davis Cup (@DavisCup) March 4, 2022
In Saturday’s double rubber, Andre Göransson and Dragos Madaras are scheduled to meet Yasutaka Uchiyama and BenMcLachlan. The inverted singles will be played afterwards.

And although hogs more easily turn grain into protein – it takes only 3 pounds of grain for a pig to gain a pound of weight (chickens take only two, while beef takes seven) – all those pigs mean a lot of grain is needed. China now purchases more than 60 percent of the soybeans available for export in the world, a vital ingredient in animal feed.
If it takes 7 pounds of soybeans to produce 1 pound of beef this means we could feed 7 pounds of tofu (to 7 different people) instead of 1 pound of beef for one person only (and still reduce our carbon emissions because a pound burger will emit on average 3kg of carbon emissions into the atmosphere).
So instead of feeding soybeans to cows to kill them to produce burgers we could simply take the soybeans we already produce anyway and transform them into protein tofu burgers and feed 7x more people than currently, and also reduce dramatically our carbon emissions.
Save the planet,
End world hunger.
We could.... but somehow we don't. Most people are too hypocritical to make a change and prefer to donate money to end world hunger while munching on a beef burger or some sausages at breakfast.
Please, go vegan. For your health but also for our planet and for the animals.

Negate ketchup altogether. Made as directed (directions actually leave out ketchup) and family enjoyed it!
I was puzzled about the inclusion of ketchup and dijon in a gravy, but thought I would try it. In my family's opinion it was nasty.

Several factors, however, could complicate matters. First, the pharma sector continues to grapple with increased regulatory burdens from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which was signed into law in 2022. While the legislation’s negotiation provisions don’t come into effect until 2026, it could cost pharmaceutical companies billions in potential revenue as a result of lowered drug prices and increased rebates. The Congressional Budget Office has projected that the IRA would save more than $287 billion over 10 years.
Boom and bust cycles
Meanwhile, biotech has its own headaches. While the sector boomed in 2021, it wilted in 2022 and 2023 with more than 100 biotech companies pruning employees in 2023 alone. Big Pharma has also not been immune. Prominent examples of companies in restructuring mode in 2023 include Pfizer, which announced a $3.5 billion cost-saving campaign, Bristol Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson, Novavax, Amgen, Thermo Fisher Scientific and Sanofi.
At the same time, the biopharma sector is facing a global skills crisis, particularly in scientific disciplines critical to maintaining high standards in quality and risk management. Complicating matters is the rapid evolution of required competencies, especially in emerging fields such as data science, AI, and biotechnology, leaving recruitment as a top headache for life science companies in 2023. Meanwhile, the talent pool isn’t keeping pace with evolving needs of drug discovery and development leaving companies to focus on internal talent development, reskilling initiatives, and strategic recruitment from other sectors.
Skilled workers needed to rethink operations
In response to these challenges, pharma companies are also rethinking their operational models, as McKinsey has noted. While most companies have some type of data science or AI initiative to streamline operations, research and supply chain management, however, many of those projects remain somewhat aspirational, leaving some companies to worry about the near-term return on investment on such projects, and the headache of “pilot purgatory.”
Simultaneously, pharma companies must not only identify and groom employees with new skill sets but adapt their organizational culture to foster agility and new processes, relying on tech firms, startups and academic institutions to bridge the talent gap. Growing pains are common, especially for legacy companies, aiming to shift towards more agile, data-driven decision-making processes and the creation of a robust digital infrastructure that can support current and future demands in a data-intensive field such as drug discovery and development. Additionally, the necessary investment in infrastructure that will support ambitious AI and data science programs for not only operational improvements but also for predictive analytics, enhancing supply chain resilience is not insignificant.
A cautious approach common
Recent research from CRB found that 98% of respondents had a dedicated budget for AI and data science initiatives, but the majority of respondents, 49%, planned to invest between $1 million and $10 million over the next two years, signaling a cautious strategy in launching new digital projects. On the higher end, one-fifth of companies budgeted between $10 million and $50 million while only 3% are venturing into even larger investments of $50 million to $100 million. No companies reported spending more than that upper amount.
Despite economic uncertainties, the pharma industry’s commitment to R&D will likely remain robust in 2024 with AI and real-world data tools providing a boost to companies with sufficiently skilled workforces. Resilient demand for drugs will likely support the sector’s resilience as they have in prior periods of financial instability.
To adapt, pharma companies will have the option of ramping up the adoption of emerging AI technologies aggressively with the hope they can help streamline operations and maintain competitiveness or adopting a more measured approach. More cautious companies are likely to constrain their data science efforts to smaller less high-stakes projects. It’s too early to tell if a tortoise or hare strategy will win out in the long run in terms of AI in pharma, but the lack of sophisticated one-size-fits-all off-the-shelf offerings can translate to significant risk for some players. Outside of the pharma sector, a number of early adopters of emerging technologies such as AI and IoT have encountered high-profile setbacks. The conservative pharma sector is likely to carefully evaluate risk versus reward in the sector’s AI endeavors, ensuring technology serves both innovation and stability. Companies that move too slowly, however, are likely to fall behind just as those who are rush ahead are prone to stumble out of the gate.

Dogs are the most popular pets in Germany and are not considered for free "man’s best friend" designated. Every dog owner knows this – the four-legged friend feels when one is not feeling well mentally or physically and its presence alone has a relaxing and calming effect on us. The healing effect of dogs on our health has been scientifically proven several times and the popularity of animal-protected therapy with dogs is increasing. But what exactly is a therapy dog and in which areas is it used??
Therapy dogs are trained dogs that are used as part of therapeutic treatment. Our four-legged friends help patients to overcome different symptoms or certain illnesses. They lower high blood pressure, relieve anxiety and depression, as well as language and social disorders. Great successes have been achieved so far, especially in psychotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy and curative education. However, the work of a therapy dog is quite exhausting for the animal and for this reason the working hours are regulated by law. It may only be used 3 times a week for 45 minutes a day.
Therapy dog - what exactly is it?
A therapy dog is often mistakenly referred to as an assistance dog or visiting dog. However, the differences between them are quite large.
- Therapy dog, also as "Comfort dog" is used in many different areas and institutions. However, the dog does not live with the patient, but with the therapist. It accompanies its owner to hospitals, kindergartens, schools, retirement homes or to individual therapy sessions and is integrated into a special course of therapy. Therapy dogs are always trained and used in a specific area of application "active" and "reactive" divided. Active dogs actively encourage the patient to do something, for example play or run, while reactive therapy dogs behave relatively passively and react to the sensitivities of the person being treated.
What is the difference between therapy dogs, assistance dogs and visiting dogs?
- Assistance dogs are specially selected and trained to support people with physical or mental disabilities in everyday life. You live with the patient and the training begins as a puppy. The best known assistance dogs are the guide dogs. There are also diabetic warning dogs, epilepsy dogs and signal dogs. It is important to mention here that the costs for the training are not covered by the health insurance. The prices vary from 8,000 to around 30,000 euros, depending on the disease.
- Visiting dogs are more often mistaken for therapy dogs. They also have to have a certain degree of training, but they are not specifically used in therapy and the owner does not have to be a psychotherapist or doctor. Small children, senior citizens in old people’s homes or people with disabilities can particularly benefit from contact with visiting dogs. The four-legged friends can be petted and touched and by playing and being around people can calm down and give them joy. So it is very important that they are people-friendly, easy-going and socialized.
How can animal-protected therapy promote our health?
A therapy dog is now used in very different areas and can, for example, help in the treatment of depression, outbursts of aggression, autism, language disorders and other psychological and physical disabilities. Animals can make great progress, especially when working with children. But animal-protected therapy can also be very useful for adults. Scientific studies have shown that petting and playing with the animal can stimulate the release of endorphins and oxytocin and lower the level of cortisol.
- Therapy dog for depression – It has been proven that the presence of a dog improves our mood significantly. Therapy dogs help patients struggling with depression and anxiety build confidence and give them affection, comfort, and a sense of security.
- For physical complaints – By asking them to play or take short walks, therapy dogs help increase the patient’s physical performance.
- Therapy dog for high blood pressure – As already mentioned, caressing your four-legged friend stimulates the secretion of the "Happiness hormones" Endorphin and oxytocin. This, in turn, can lower blood pressure and heart rate.
- It is not for nothing that psychotherapists with therapy dogs are so often invited to schools and kindergartens. Contact with the four-legged friend improves the children’s ability to concentrate and react and leads to a Increase in performance.
Which breeds are best for therapy dogs?
With therapy dogs, it is not the breed that plays a decisive role, but rather the character of the animal. Larger breeds like Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and German Shepherds are most often trained to do this. But smaller breeds such as the mini poodle or pomeran are also very good choices if you tend to work with children. Above all, a therapy dog must meet the following basic requirements:
- Patient and calm being
- Joy and openness towards strangers
- Good obedience and social behavior
- Balance and high tolerance to stress and stimuli
- No territorial behavior
- Easy to manage and close to its owner

For years Patrick Dangerfield has been a prominent feature of our fantasy football sides. With him now available to be picked in our forward lines it feels like an easy selection. But is he someone you can start with?
Name: Patrick Dangerfield
Club: Geelong Cats
2020 Highest Score:
110 Vs Collingwood (AFLFantasy)
170 Vs Sydney (SuperCoach)
Career Highest Score:
187 Vs North Melbourne | AFLFantasy (2016)
229 Vs North Melbourne | SuperCoach (2016)
81.7 (AFLFantasy) | 102 (Adjusted Average)
SuperCoach Price: $611,900
AFLFantasy Price: $780,000
AFLDreamTeam Price: $754,400
WHY IS HE RELEVANT?
For almost a decade Patrick Dangerfield has been a staple in our fantasy footy sides. Not only has he been a top performing player, but he’s also one of the most enjoyable to own. Last year was no different, and he was one of the key reasons his Geelong Cats made it to the big dance.
In 200 he ranked first in the AFL for total goal assists, inside ’50s, ranked second for total contested possessions, meters gains and ranked third for total centre clearances.
From an AFLFantasy/DreamTeam perspective, his seasonal average of 81.7 converted to an adjusted average of 102. It’s perfectly serviceable as a MID only, but now as a MID/FWD his relevance has skyrocketed. He ended the year with 3 tons, an additional 4 scores between 90-99 and 3 above 80. In short 10 of 17 games were the equivalent of a ton in 2020 due to the shorter quarters.
In his more preferred scoring format of SuperCoach, he posted 12 tons, 5 of these were above 130. On his way to his seasonal average of 113.8, he had just 2 scores all season that fell below 83. As someone who is a MID/FWD, these are incredibly consistent scores.
For AFLFantasy/DreamTeam in 2019, he averaged 107. It featured fourteen scores over 100, six of those he converted into 120+ score including a final round 150 Vs Carlton. Based on the 2019 data, he’s ranked tenth by averages amongst all midfielders but finished last year inside the top 13 for total points scored.
In SuperCoach his averaged 115. From 21 games he scored 13 times over 100, 8 of those were insanely huge as he went over 140. For available midfielders, he was ranked sixth for total points and eighth for averages.
Often Patrick is criticised for being ‘too dramatic’ when it comes to in-game niggles. While for some (cough Kane Cornes cough) it dints his reputation. One thing that is true though, even though he has a crash and bang style of football, he’s been incredibly durable over his career. In just the past six seasons he’s missed only four games.Embed from Getty Images
One of my greatest disappointments of last years AFL grand final was not seeing Patrick Dangerfield fulfil his potential and dominate the game. Just moments after the Cats loss, news started to filter through Danger battling a severe groin injury.
This injury is still lingering. The former Brownlow medalist is still yet to participate in full training and now has serious question marks over his availability for the AAMI community series clash and round one.
Even for the most devoted Dangerfield owner, that needs to put some level of doubt about whether or not he’s a starting squad option should be named round one. Ultimately, with anyone carrying some injury concerns through the preseason, we need to ask ourselves ‘what do they need to do in the pre-round one for me to select them?’ Without this, you’ll either find yourself seduced by a name, or go with the flow (right or wrongly) of what the popular ‘group think’ of the fantasy community is.
For me to start Patrick, I need to see him do two things. First, play in the AAMI community series / intra club match. Second, display that explosive ability from a contest/stoppage that he’s renowned for. Without this, even if name round one I’ll be targeting him as an early upgrade.
The risk in that is he’s one of a handful of players who have the capacity to take a season away from you with a strong scoring run to start the season. And for Danger, he’s got the fixture to do it. The Cats years kicks off against last seasons easiest team to score against in Adelaide. The following 7 weeks he plays, Brisbane (home), Hawthorn, Melbourne, North Melbourne (home), West Coast (home), Sydney and Richmond.
It does include some difficult matches, but the Cats should dominate early beyond the Brisbane and Richmond clash. They play 3 rebuilding clubs in the Crows, Hawks and Kangaroos and none of these teams possesses a recognised tagger capable of slowing him down.
During the offseason, the Cats clearly went ‘all in’ on the current list in a tilt for a premiership. The largest name being that of Jeremy Cameron. However, Isaac Smith and Shaun Higgins are no scrubs. These three big in’s allow further flexibility in game for the Geelong coaching staff and give them options to use Patrick.
I believe it’ll still be a split role of midfield and forward, but with the additional marking target up forward it’ll no longer be some forced necessity to play him as a forward. Instead, it’ll be a luxury and an opportunity to expose the opposition.
By the time round 23 comes around, you’ll want Patrick in your team. He isn’t an ‘if’ but a ‘when’ to target to have in your side. Even a 3/4 strength Danger in your team is still considerably better that the vast majority of our forward stocks.
Once the position allocations were revealed, Patrick Dangerfield was locked in many coaches eyes as a first round selection. Ordinarily, I’d agree, but given the question marks around his availability for round one, I’d be hesitant to pick anyone in the opening round that has question marks on them.
For that reason, he’s an early-mid second round selection, but still a clear F1 for whoever owns him.

Missing data can arise in the raw data or as a result of processing of the data. In the former, which may be for example because of telemetry problems, the pixels are given a value of -1. Once any processing is done on the dataset, missing or corrupted pixels are given the value -100. The cosmic ray cleaning procedure cds_new_spike, for example, by default fills in bad pixel values with a value derived from surrounding pixels. For the purest who may object to 'inventing' data it also has the option to label affected pixels with the missing data value.
Many of the display routines need to know what value missing data are set to so they can safely ignore those pixels in their processing. Most of these routines (described in CDS Software Note #5 PostScript - 78 Kb) access a system variable to determine this value. This system variable can be set by the command:
To see the effect of this try:
Some general analysis routines cannot use the system variable and must be explicitly told what data to treat as missing. For example the average routine.

All 3d files needed to recreate my Rough Seas Keycaps.
The keycap connector included here, is also available for free on thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3315115 , but included here for convenience.
Each 3d ship model has a corrosponding wave formation.
The SiliconCastHelper file is meant as a helper tool to create silicon negatives of the waves (to create a blue transparent resin cast of said waves). Glue in the printed wave, pour in the silicon, wait for it to set and then remove the set silicon by destroying the SiliconCastHelper object.
Ship models optimised for provided sizes. Printed with an FDM 3d printer (PLA) and 0.4mm nozzle, good results can be achieved with 0.08mm layer height, slow print speed and "Print thin walls" enabled in cura.
For best results apply a layer of paint to the wave objects after printing and before creating a silicon negative, to reduce visible layer lines.

As seasonal cruisers, we decided on the Cunard Queen Victoria due to its wonderful itinerary to the French Polynesian Islands plus Australia and New Zealand. We had not visited these ports before. I was a bit leery that the ambience on the ship would be too stuffy and too formal but it was not as formal as I had envisioned.
We had a rough beginning since we were due to embark in LA on the 17th of February but our flight was cancelled on Southwest due to inclement weather both in NYC and our layover city. Many flights had been cancelled the previous day(s) as well and they were catching up with getting people out who had been stranded due to the inclement weather. Even though we knew our flight had been cancelled, we went to the airport and tried to get on standby, to no avail and decided to join our cruise at the next port, two days later, in San Francisco. We had better luck on that day getting out but the unfortunate thing was we did not get to see San Francisco again since we had been there in the past on a separate "land" trip we had done. Oh well.
To our surprise, we had been upgraded to a higher deck (from 6 to 8) and a bigger room - we always go inside cabin unless we can get a better room for not much more than the inside rate. Wonderful, I thought! Since we arrived late afternoon - 2:30-3 p.m., embarkation was a total breeze! Never had we experienced such an easy embarkation process. There were two couples ahead of us filling out their health forms. No lines, no hassles. When we arrived at our stateroom, we found a bottle of champagne in a bucket of ice with two flutes waiting for us! Alrighty, I thought, this is very classy!
Nice, clean and comfortable. Many pillows available - sheets were always changed and clean!
Visited with family stationed there; walked on Waikiki beach, had a great pina colada on the beach - great experience! Beautiful port - had cruised there 11 years ago for my 50th birthday!

Leonardo DiCaprio’s eternal youth and boyish looks may have helped his timeless stardom in Hollywood, but it only hurt his chances of starring in a James Dean biopic.
Director Michael Mann revealed he scrapped a “brilliant screenplay” about late “Rebel Without a Cause” actor Dean due to his dream lead, DiCaprio, looking too young for the part.
“That was so weird about James Dean,” Mann told Deadline. “It’s, ‘Who the hell could play James Dean?’ And I found a chap who could play James Dean, but he was too young. It was Leo. We did a screen test that’s quite amazing. I think he must’ve been 19 at the time.”
Screen legend Dean died at age 24 after a car accident in 1955 after starring in three major films.
“From one angle, he totally had it with him,” Mann said of DiCaprio. “I mean, it’s brilliance. He would turn his face in one direction and we see a vision of James Dean, and then he’d turn his face another direction and it’s no, that’s a young kid.”
He added, “I found the absolutely perfect act of the play, in about three years from that. He respectfully undid the James Dean bio for me.”
Instead, Mann went on to helm “Heat” in 1995, while DiCaprio continued his rise to global stardom with “The Basketball Diaries” the same year, followed by 1996’s “Romeo + Juliet” and his breakout role in James Cameron’s epic “Titanic” in 1997.
Dean’s legacy has been portrayed most famously by doppelganger James Franco in the 2001 TV movie “James Dean.”
And DiCaprio has continued taking on real-life historical figures for the big screen, notably Howard Hughes for Martin Scorsese’s “The Aviator,” J. Edgar Hoover, Frank Abagnale Jr., and Jordan Belfort. Up next, DiCaprio is also linked to play cult leader Jim Jones and former president Theodore Roosevelt in two upcoming films. The Oscar winner is also starring in Scorsese’s “The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder” based on a true story.
Writer-director Mann may be getting the chance to work with the DiCaprio of Gen Z, Academy Award nominee Timothée Chalamet, in the “Heat 2” prequel based on Mann’s new novel. Original “Heat” star Al Pacino fan-casted Chalamet to portray a younger version of his cop character.

References Endress, P. (Artist). (2010)
In terms of gender, most of the nonverbal differences between men and women are exaggerations of biological differences onto which we have imposed certain meanings and values. Men and women's nonverbal communication, as with other aspects of communication, is much more similar than different The first, and most obvious, clue to nonverbal communication is a person's facial expressions.

Accordingly, understanding gender differences in nonverbal communication is important when dealing with the opposite sex.

Types of nonverbal communication vary based on culture and country. But the areas of differences tend to fall within the following eight areas. Each provides an area where people doing business in other parts of the world should understand the nonverbal communication differences between cultures and how to prepare for them. Eye Contac Nonverbal communication can play five roles: Repetition: It repeats and often strengthens the message you're making verbally. Contradiction: It can contradict the message you're trying to convey, thus indicating to your listener that you may not be telling the truth. Substitution: It can substitute for a verbal message. For example, your facial expression often conveys a far more vivid. However, clearly they are not or statements about gender differences would not be received so negatively at times. Second, it is more parsimonious to discuss gender differences without disclaimers Based on human and animal studies, women are more sensitive to the consumption and long-term effects of alcohol and drugs than men.

During the summer of 1930, Mead and Fortune did fieldwork among the Omaha Native American people. Mead realized from this first experience studying a non-Oceanic culture that there was a connection between the anthropological approach used to study a culture and the characteristics of the culture studied Display rules are a social group or culture's informal norms that distinguish how one should express themselves. They can be described as culturally prescribed rules that people learn early on in their lives by interactions and socializations with other people. They learn these cultural standards at a young age which determine when one would express certain emotions, where and to what extent Yet, as part of the same system, they still have important differences, including how the brain processes them. For instance, nonverbal communication is typically governed by the right side of the brain and verbal, the left. Peter A. Andersen, Nonverbal Communication: Forms and Functions (Mountain View, CA: Mayfield, 1999), 2-8 9 Types of Nonverbal Communication . Scientific research on nonverbal communication and behavior began with the 1872 publication of Charles Darwin's The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.Since that time, abundant research has been conducted regarding types, effects, and expressions of unspoken communication and behavior

All managers perform four major functions: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling Making inferential statements is necessary if you're to talk about much that is meaningful. However, a problem arises when you act as though those inferential statements are factual statements. Distinguishing between these types of statements does not imply that one type is better than the other. Both types of statements are useful and important Select one: a. Communication is a daily human activity. b. Communication creates barriers. c. Successful Communication is always achieved. d. Direct and Indirect Communication. We have seen the emergence of powerful people in different fields and professions because of the worthy causes or advocacies they believe in
Step 2: Analyze the Problem. During this step a group should analyze the problem and the group's relationship to the problem. Whereas the first step involved exploring the what related to the problem, this step focuses on the why.. At this stage, group members can discuss the potential causes of the difficulty The following are common examples of non-verbal communication. Body Language Body language such as facial expressions, posture and gestures. Eye Contact Humans typically seek information in the eyes. For example, young infants are more likely to smile in the presence of a parent's gaze. Comfortably looking someone in the eyes is an expression. Chapter 3. Culture - Introduction to Sociology - 1st Canadian Edition. Chapter 3. Culture. Figure 3.1. Graffiti's mix of colourful drawings, words, and symbols is a vibrant expression of culture—or, depending on one's viewpoint, a disturbing expression of the creator's lack of respect for a community's shared space
Refining one's ability to become more attuned to nonverbal cues can increase one's ability to be more in tune with your own instincts. Trust your intuition. Intuition is the unconscious processing of information (e.g. subtle nonverbal signals) manifested as physical feelings.

Answers is the place to go to get the answers you need and to ask the questions you wan Differences between countries are called IntER-cultural differences. There are definitely differences in gender roles within one country. In other words, American women will be less masculine than their male countrymen. The same will be true for the most feminine country in the world, Sweden; also there will the men be more masculine than the.
In another non-verbal testing situation, 24- and 30-month old children knew the gender groups to which they and others belonged (Stennes et al. 2005). Similarly, most 24- and 28-month-old children select the correct picture in response to gender labels provided by an experimenter (Campbell et al. 2002, Levy 1999) Gender Differences in Social Interaction. Masculine and feminine cultures and individuals generally differ in how they communicate with others. For example, feminine people tend to self-disclose more often than masculine people, and in more intimate details. Likewise, feminine people tend to communicate more affection, and with greater intimacy. To actually receive a message, a person needs to do all of the following except: A) comprehend the message, B) sense the presence of the message, C) select it from other competing messages, D) perc.. Introduction. By the time children are about 3 years old, they have already begun to form their gender identity. 1 In other words, they are aware of the fact that they are boys or girls and that there are certain behaviours, activities, toys and interests that are played with more often by boys and girls. Gender differences in children's behaviours and interactional patterns also begin to. Nonverbal communication expresses meaning or feeling without words. Universal emotions, such as happiness, fear, sadness, are expressed in a similar nonverbal way throughout the world. There are, however, nonverbal differences across cultures that may be a source of confusion for foreigners

Gender roles in America are impacted by cultural and societal norms. Cultural messages around gender roles are received in forms like: ads, movies, TV programs, music, and family influences. Traditional gender roles are increasingly challenged with new cultural influences and discussions Nonverbal communication is part of the behaviors of people, as well as the results of their behavior. One source of messages is the environment. Different houses send different messages about their occupants. This is accomplished through the use of color, lighting, heat, fabric textures, photos, and so on All except one of Julius Fast's cited works are from the 1950s and 1960s. The exception among Fast's contemporary influences was Charles Darwin, and specifically his book The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, written in 1872, which is commonly regarded as the beginnings of the body language science, albeit not recognised as such then

The Biblical sources of Modern Hebrew syntax
The paper assesses the influence on Modern Hebrew of the two previous spoken stages of Hebrew: Biblical Hebrew and Rabbinic Hebrew in its early, Mishnaic, phase. Contra the received view in the current literature, I argue that Modern Hebrew has in many respects readopted the syntax of Biblical Hebrew, the earlier of the two ancient stages, rather than being a development of the subsequent Rabbinic stage. The paper discusses particular constructions whose Biblical syntax had historically beendoi:10.5281/zenodo.4749045 fatcat:7hg4zahtmfcsjfsowuofzfvlne

Men are hard to buy for. This is common knowledge. That’s why when I come up with a great gift idea, I like to share it. This gift that I will be sharing with you today is one that I recently gave my husband for this birthday.
The first part of this gift is for the baseball lover. That would be my husband! I’ve never met anyone more enthralled with the sport. He loves it so much that we have started a National Ballpark Tour Bucket List so that we can try to see all of our nation’s great ballparks.
Given my husband’s passion for baseball, I just about died when I found this at Red Envelope:
Crafted from salvaged seats from America’s most beloved stadiums, they’re a couple links to baseball’s storied past including decades of home openers and double-headers. Each set is unique, limited in quantity, and officially licensed by the MLB. They have a sterling-silver base with swivel backing and each cuff link is hallmarked with the name of the stadium engraved on the back.
I chose Wrigley Field because that was our very first ballpark excursion (September 2010). My husband was speechless when he opened these cuff links. Yours will be too. He said it was the most creative gift he has ever received. Score!
For the icing on the cake…
There’s nothing sexier than a French cuff shirt adorned with unique cuff links. I dig it! Aaron has a couple of sets of cuff links currently that he keeps in a cheap, nearly-broken ring box. Now he has a dark brown leather display case for up to 12 pairs of cuff links. I’m looking forward to adding to his collection! The case is also a wonderful place for him to store his wedding ring. Maybe now he will keep it off my ring dish.
Oh, and a little monogramming never hurt anyone! Guys secretly like it too.
With gift giving occasions always on the horizon, you should give Red Envelope a good once-over. They’ve got some great gifts in all price ranges. Beware of the cheese though! They have some crazy cheesy gifts too.

Can cream of tartar be used as a substitute for baking soda?
If you don’t have baking soda, cream of tartar is sadly not a suitable replacement for it. Baking soda is an alkaline substance, while cream of tartar is acidic. The two can produce amazing results when mixed together, but they cannot be substituted for each other in most situations.
What is the ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar?
Just stick to the ratio of two parts cream of tartar to one part baking soda, and it’ll come out great.
How do I substitute cream of tartar for baking powder?
Cream of tartar is the acid that is typically in baking powder, so if you have any on hand, you can combine it with baking soda and you’re all set. To replace 1 teaspoon baking powder, combine 1/4 teaspoon baking soda with 5/8 teaspoon cream of tartar.
What can I use if I dont have baking soda?
Baking powder is, without a doubt, the best baking soda substitute you can find. Use a 1:3 ratio, so if your recipe calls for one teaspoon of baking soda, use three teaspoons of baking powder. It’s tricky to substitute self-rising flour for baking soda, but it can be done by changing the recipe a little.
What does cream of tartar do in baking?
Cream of tartar helps stabilize whipped egg whites, prevents sugar from crystallizing and acts as a leavening agent for baked goods.
Can you substitute baking powder for baking soda and cream of tartar?
Baking powder is comprised of two parts cream of tartar to one part baking soda, so it’s important to keep the proportions intact. For example, use one teaspoon of baking powder to replace 2/3 teaspoon of cream of tartar and 1/3 teaspoon of baking soda.
How do I substitute cream of tartar?
What is a Good Replacement for Cream of Tartar? A good replacement for cream of tartar in baking is 1 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice for every 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar.
What happens if I put too much cream of tartar?
The FDA recognizes cream of tartar as a safe ingredient when consumed in small quantities. Ingesting high amounts of it may lead to hyperkalemia, or dangerously high potassium blood levels.
What is the conversion of baking soda to baking powder?
You can substitute baking soda for baking powder. Just use: 1/3 teaspoon baking soda for every 1 teaspoon baking powder. 2/3 teaspoon baking soda for 2 teaspoons baking powder.
What is 1 teaspoon of baking soda to baking powder?
Ideally, triple the amount of baking powder to equal the amount of baking soda. So, if the recipe calls for 1 tsp. of baking soda, you would use 3 tsp. of baking powder.
What is a substitute for 1 tablespoon of baking powder?
Use Baking Soda
Baking soda is 3 times stronger than baking powder, so if a recipe calls for 1 tbsp of baking powder, you’ll want to use 1 tsp of baking soda. You will also need to add 1 tsp of an acid (such as vinegar or lemon juice) per every 1/2 tsp baking soda to balance out the base.
Is cream of tartar the same as bicarbonate of soda?
Anyway, cream of tartar is tartaric acid, traditionally a byproduct of the wine industry. Ever had little crystals form in a particularly icy bottle of white? That’s tartaric acid. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate and can form naturally around mineral springs but is usually made by a chemical reaction.
What can I substitute for baking soda and baking powder?
If you’re out of both baking soda and baking powder, self-rising flour might be a good alternative. Self-rising flour is made from a combination of all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt, so it contains everything you need to help baked goods rise.


League continues to raise the bar
NEWPORT — The New England Collegiate Baseball League All-Star Game, which pits players from the Northern Division against those from the Southern Division, took place Sunday night at Cardines Field.
The event attracted league and team dignitaries, about 50 Major League Baseball scouts and numerous fans anxious to get a glimpse of the next Stephen Strasburg, Rajai Davis or Matt Adams, NECBL alumni playing in the majors this season. Of course things were a bit different in the league’s fledgling years.
“It’s been 23 years for the NECBL as a whole,” said Sean McGrath, who is in his third season as league commissioner. “I played in it in Year 4, when there were five teams in the state of Connecticut with no fans, no ticket sales, no sponsors, no internet broadcast and very few draft picks.
“Now, on average, roughly 25 percent of every single roster is drafted. This year, we had 98 draft picks or free agents in the draft. The level of play, the level of reputation of the NECBL throughout the country has continued to grow.”
“The true testament is today,” McGrath added while overlooking Cardines Field. “We have so many scouts, two or three from some organizations, who are here because of the type of players that our managers are recruiting.”
McGrath noted that 36 NECBL alumni are playing on MLB squads this year and more are knocking on the door.
“For the second year we’ve had an NECBL alumnus appear in every level of professional baseball as an all-star,” McGrath said. “Major League, Triple-A, Double-A and several Single-A. We have players that are Division III All-American, Division II All-American and Division I All-American. That’s a pyramid of success.”
The league added a 13th franchise this season, the Upper Valley Nighthawks, who play their home games in Hartford, Vt. There now are seven teams in the Northern Division and six in the Southern Division.
So what about adding a seventh team to the Southern Division to balance things out?
“We are in conversations,” McGrath said. “Summer collegiate baseball is a very attractive industry around the country. We certainly receive several inquiries a year from communities who want to understand the operation and what’s it’s all about.
“In a perfect world, we can pick a community in the south and say this community should have a team in the NECBL. But it really doesn’t work like that. It’s definitely a two-way street. If you try to force one of these organizations into a community who isn’t passionate about it and who doesn’t support it, it’s not going to be a success.
“I wouldn’t expect a 14th team going into next year, but I can guarantee you that the league is always focused on making the 13 teams that we have be the best that they can possibly be.”
The Newport Gulls, the local entry in the NECBL, has been the model franchise. The Gulls have captured six championships in their 16 years of existence all the while leading the league, or being near the top, in attendance.
“Over time, it’s taken us to get to that point,” Newport Gulls general manager Chuck Paiva said. “We do have a very loyal fan base and we’re very fortunate that we get a great turnout here.”
But while Newport averages a couple thousand fans a game, a few teams are lucky to get a couple hundred.
“What works for Newport may not apply for another community,” said McGrath, the former general manager of the North Adams SteepleCats in Massachusetts. “For instance, North Adams, their Sunday crowds are the best in the league. In the southeast here, Sunday crowds would be very poor because on Sunday everybody’s at the beach. That’s two very drastic results when you talk about Sunday games. There are several scenarios along those lines.
“All 13 teams are very, very unique. The structure, how they operate, the dynamics of the ballpark, the demographics of the community, the board leadership, everybody’s unique and different. We try to work with the organizations as best as possible to help them identify and make improvements.
“There are best practices that can continue to be discussed and be applied. Certainly there’s room for improvement, but every community has its strengths and weaknesses and challenges. Some of those communities are trying to implement different strategies to generate that fan base. But there is no one size fits all.”
The common thread among all 13 teams is the volunteer base. Without that, the nonprofit organizations would not be in existence.
“I’ve always said your host families, your volunteers, your guys in the press box, the guys behind the scenes, the families that take these players in each and every summer, they’re the livelihood of the organization,” McGrath said. “Without them you can’t have a team.
“The reality is, if one of these players wanted to leave, we could find a player to replace him tomorrow. If a host family decides not to come back next year, it takes a lot of time and effort to find another host family. Players and coaches come and go. That’s the nature of the industry. All the volunteers, host families and fans of the team, they’re the pride and joy of the organization.”
While the volunteers behind the scenes keep the organizations up and running, the players hope to be noticed as they attempt to climb the next rung of the ladder toward a career in the majors.
“I think the NECBL has its priorities in line,” McGrath said. “It’s about our players first and foremost. Our focus with the player development, the player experience, with those two pillars that’s kind of the foundation of the NECBL. It tends to put us in the right position to make the best decision.
“The baseball is going to continue to improve. The general managers are continuing to form strong relationships with the best college programs around the country. We continue to take great care of our players on and off the field. We give them the total New England experience on off days, as well as tremendous competition on the field.
“We’re going to continue to focus on the game, on the players. Anybody who comes to play in the NECBL leaves as a better ballplayer and a more mature student-athlete. I’ve always said I’ll take our all-stars, the best of the best of the NECBL, against any other all-star team in the entire country.”
