Gardens
The City of Chicago's motto is "Urbs in Horto", which means city in a garden. Our city is home to a vast number of beautiful gardens, and many of those are located in Chicago's parks, providing visitors with sights and smells throughout the year. With close to 75-acres of gardens currently enhancing Chicago's parks, visitors will get a colorful display of flowers throughout the spring, summer and early fall seasons.
Since the development of Chicago's earliest parks, gardens have been an integral part of the Chicago Park District and are a top tourist attraction. Chicago's front yard is a spectacular site to see beginning late April and throughout the summer and early fall. Chicago Park District gardens are planted for the summer by June 15th, and most hold their color well into October. Earlier in the year, look for spring plantings at a few parks, including Grant Park. These gardens are at their peak mid-April to mid-May. Visit the following outdoor gardens display featuring thousands of flowers surrounded by sculptures and waterfalls

When you see little white or clear dots floating in your vision, they are actually your own white blood cellsI definitely want it to be on the amusing side. I definitely like the idea of telling a story, just don't have one off the top of my head that would work for this. I'll keep it in mind. Thanks!

60 minutes for elementary kids? Either someone is putting you on, or doesn't know kids at all. Run, run for the hills. 10 mintues TOPS.

This article highlights contrasts between the identity and values of sociology faculty members versus the identity and values of college administrators. Some of these contrasts include: questioning authority and speaking truth to power versus being in a position of authority and engaging in political compromise; taking a critical, reflective, and independent stance as a scholar versus a dean taking a stance of positive attitude and setting direction in the organization; and acting in an egalitarian and democratic fashion versus acting in a discriminating manner and making executive decisions. This article also explores the ways in which being a sociologist can inform a dean's understanding of the structure and organizational life of the college and the group dynamics among faculty, students, administrators, and other constituents.

We all Have a Sixth Sense and Science Has Now Found a Gene for it
Feel like your neighbor always knows? Like somehow they're aware of exactly when you're about to put out the garbage in your pajamas, with your hair straight out to there, so they can give you a firmly smug 'good morning' in a well-pressed suit?
I know. It's eerie. Maybe they do have ESP, or extrasensory perception, but the thing is, it's hard to quantify.
ESP- the ability to use psychic powers in order to know what's going on in a place without being there, and things like telepathy and clairvoyance- are something we usually think of as living in the movies.
Or if it they are something real, they're embodied by the very few. It isn't something recognized by cold, hard science.
But here's the news: we all actually have a sixth sense and researchers have now found a gene for it.
OK, so it's not about clairvoyance. It doesn't refer to psychic abilities but it's actually not so far off.
It's called proprioception. Science has labeled our ability to know where our body parts are in space, without seeing them as a sixth sense. Proprioception involves knowing about and being aware of our body position, movement and acceleration. So, for instance, it's about being able to know that your hands are just above your head as you throw a basketball, or that we are going to bang into that table by the wall if we spin three times and move to the left.
And some people seem to have more proprioception talent than others. Researchers have used gold medal American gymnast Simone Biles as an example of someone with incredible proprioception. This is what enables Biles to do such amazing feats high above the ground upside down and backwards, and land perfectly almost every time.
The one that gives us this sixth sense, or at least one of them, is called PIEZO2
A study done by the National Institutes of Health and published in the New England Journal of Medicine identified the gene. Researchers identified the gene by looking into the genetic causes of unexplained neurological problems in children.
Scientists were trying to figure out why some children with common birth defects-a curvature of their spine and a lack of awareness of the position of their joints-were born with these exceptions.
In doing their work, researchers found that the children being studied were all missing PIEZO2, or that it had essentially been cut out in their development.
"What's remarkable about these patients," said Dr. Carsten G. Bönnemann, M.D., senior investigator at the NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and a co-leader of the study, "is how much their nervous systems compensate for their lack of touch and body awareness."
Despite their difficulties, the children studied appeared to cope with these challenges by relying heavily on vision and other senses.
Dr. Bönnemann commented the findings indicate that the nervous system may have several alternate pathways science can tap into when designing new therapies for people with low or non-existent proprioception.

3 Most Common Causes of Sciatica - Hip Or Lower Back Pain
Updated: Apr 13
Our specialists at 1 Health Medical Centre develop treatment plans for our patients every day with the purpose of eliminating chronic pain. No doubt sports injuries are probably the most frequent affliction we help in treating. Nonetheless, there are many other common concerns in the landscape of orthopedic medicine. And one significant issue that a lot of patients face is sciatica.
At the very least, most people have heard the word before. However, the majority of them are unaware that the term "sciatica" does not refer to a diagnosis. Rather, it's in fact one of the symptoms of a much severe spinal condition. Nevertheless, it's exceptionally painful, greatly reduces the quality of life in those afflicted and also results in immense discomfort. In this post, we'll understand the most common causes of sciatica and even explore their symptoms, as well.
Firstly, What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica is a shocking, distinctively-sharp pain that starts either in the lower back or hip. Later, it begins to travel down to the back of the thigh, buttocks and in some cases, the calf as well. Like several other conditions, sciatica's effects can be generally tolerable and mild.
Nonetheless, it could also be severe to the point where the pain is exhausting. When a spinal nerve gets irritated, it induces this pain and then starts radiating the sensation throughout the body. But, the original source of the irritation may vary. Spinal epidural injections could prove effective, but simply a temporary way to ease the pain.
Here's 3 commonly reported reasons that indicate that you may be suffering from sciatica pain:
1. Herniated Disc
Pockets of soft cartilage (intervertebral discs) present between each of the spine's vertebrae, helps in absorbing the numerous shocks that our spinal columns experience everyday. These happen when we're performing even the most elementary physical tasks. Also, they're particularly crucial to our health as we disperse most of our weight to the lower back area whenever we stand or walk.
That being said, when we end up damaging one or more of these discs, they start protruding into the spinal canal. Usually, pieces of the disc will get in contact with the spinal nerve, placing exorbitant pressure on it. Resulting in intense, burning pain that defines sciatica.
2. Spinal Stenosis
To put it simply, your spine is built with a column of bones that gives support to your upper body. Inside this column lies a network of nerves that run through the vertebrae, carrying signals from your brain to the other parts of your body.
The bones covering these nerves protect them from impact or damage. If something affects them, it could have a negative impact on simple motor functions like running or walking.
Spinal stenosis happens when the spinal column gets narrow and begins to compress the cord. Generally, it's a very gradual process. In some cases, spinal stenosis could be so narrow that it doesn't show any symptoms. Nevertheless, too much narrowing becomes painful and problematic, and could lead to sciatica.
3. Osteoarthritis
This condition occurs when our soft tissue, joints, and bones start eroding with injury or old age. And similar to other joints within our bodies, our spine's facet joints are the most susceptible to osteoarthritis.
When they're experiencing inflammation, pressure, or irritation the network of nerves within close proximity could feel it as well. Nonetheless, sometimes bone spurs develop and start exerting pressure on nerve roots, resulting in sciatica.

Stranger
Contents
The real name of Stranger is unknown due to his alienation and disconnection from his bloodline. Due to deep rooted traditions in vicinities, if an invidiual wishes to disconnect with their bloodline for any reason, they lose the honor of baring their birth name. Stranger decided not to associate himself with a label and traveled vicinities unnamed for two years. The name 'Stranger' stuck after Journey greeted him with "Hello, stranger". Yo decided to call him this after hearing this from Journey as a joke but it soon became semi permanent.
Stranger is a foul mouthed street punk with an unpredictable temper. Depending on his current mood, his reactions to certain actions differ. He is usually an indifferent and almost apathetic individual. It is very easy to indicate his mood due to the expression on his face. This makes it easy for partners to avoid him if he isn't feeling too generous that day. Yo often says "He is like a woman" since his moodswings are similar to a woman's 'time of the month'. Stranger has a sense of recklessness yet knows when to back down when he feels as though he cannot solve a problem. He is very passionate about his beliefs and very loyal to those he cares about although he takes betrayal very personally.
Stranger was born into a wealthy bloodline. His father was in charge of record keeping for Adam. Due to his high rank, both his parents had a high sense of paranoia about theivery, abduction, hacking.etc since his father didn't necessarly keep honest and positive records. Due to this paranoia, they didn't allow their three children to go a public school or make many friends. They forced their children to go to a very elite school in order to know the trade of working for The Mother Unit. Stranger was born with a resistance to the influence and harm of shadows. His parents has often seen him talking to shadows or even his own shadow at a young age and assumed that he was going insane.
At the age of 8, the shadows in and outside his bedroom tricked him into giving them 40% of his light, telling him that they would help him make friends and become more powerful. Due to this robbery, Stranger naturally became more and more violent due to the lack of light in his body. Fearing for their son, Stranger's parents decided to confine him in their home with an abundance of lightsources to keep away the shadows.
After turning 14, Stranger's shadows convinced him that this was getting out of hand and escaped from his home after so much internal rage and clostrophobia from the outside world. He traveled far away from his home vicinity. Due to his betrayal to his bloodline and the culture of his town, he abandoned his original name and went nameless.
The same shadows that stole his light often follow him around and offer deals of power in exchange for more light. It is said that the shadows are from the original generations of shadows that made their presense known after The Mother Unit was created. Stranger's shadows, according to Cat, are the only shadows that travel in a group and follow a humanbeing.

Thomas Otway was a poet and playwright from the late 1600s that Charlotte Smith particularly admired (he gets referenced in some of her other poems, too). Otway was famous for writing about human emotions in a believable way. This was uncommon at the time when he was writing, when most playwrights wrote tragedies in a wooden, artificial-sounding way. Smith, like most other Romantic-era poets, valued authentic, legitimate-sounding emotion very highly, and tried to emulate poets like Otway who were able to get natural-sounding emotions across in literature.

I don't want this thread to turn into a debate about personal beliefs regarding gay marriage. Personally I don't care who you want to spend your
life with, it's your life and your choice so if you wanna marry, have sex, or spend your life in a committed relationship with a badger go for it but
don't expect me to agree with it. I will neither support or condone it as it's your personal decision.
DENVER – A gay couple is pursuing a discrimination complaint against a Colorado bakery, saying the business refused them a wedding cake to
honor their Massachusetts ceremony, and alleging that the owners have a history of turning away same-sex couples.
The Colorado Attorney General's office filed a formal complaint last week after the ACLU initiated the process last year on behalf of David
Mullins and Charlie Craig. The case is scheduled for a hearing in September before Colorado's Civil Rights Commission.
The way I feel about this is that if the owner of this bakery didn't want to make a cake for the couple then they could have and should have simply
found another bakery. That would have been the end of it, there is no mention in this story of the owners of the bakery being rude or offensive to the
couple and as I see it there was really no damages suffered by the couple.
I can understand that some would see this as discrimination towards the couple and I also understand that this could be a very slippery slope. However
my point in making a thread about this is to bring forth the question of when does one persons rights override another persons rights.
A quote from the article that I find to actually present a double standard follows:
"Religious freedom is a fundamental right in America and it's something that we champion at the ACLU," said Mark Silverstein, the legal
director of the group in Colorado, which filed the complaint on behalf of the couple. "We are all entitled to our religious beliefs and we fight for
that. But someone's personal religious beliefs don't justify breaking the law by discriminating against others in the public sphere."
IMO a person that is engaged in private commerce has the right to refuse service to anyone for whatever reason they want. If it is a private
enterprise then why should they be forced to do something that is against their will, beliefs, moral or religious ideals as long as they decline
service in a respectable and decent manner.
The ACLU spokesman in the article even states that religious freedom is a fundamental right that they champion and stand up for everyday. Yet
apparently that religious right is not as fundamental as the right that someone has to force you to overlook your religious beliefs and go against
those beliefs.
This is why I bring this article to the attention of the ATS community. If we have fundamental right to our religious beliefs then why and how can
someone force you to set aside your right when you have exercised it in a respectable manner? If this is the case then that right is no longer an
actual right but is instead a privilege that can only be exercised when a certain party deems it to be okay.
The fact is that we need to determine in this country when to draw the line. When does one persons right to believe a certain way override another
persons right to feel their certain way? As I already said if the owners of the bakery would have been rude or made disparaging remarks then I could
see justification for a discrimination suit, however to just simply refuse service shouldn't be.
In all reality I think that the biggest culprit in this story is actually the blood sucking lawyers that will litigate anything just to make a dollar,
but that's just my opinion and doesn't matter. I'm sure I may catch a lot of flak over this thread but that's okay, you don't have to worry about
me calling the ACLU and suing those who do for discriminating against me based on my opinion.
I guess a lot of it boils down to the fact that Americans have become weak minded and sue happy. As I said, I'm not trying to debate the issues of
homosexuality but rather the rights of a private business owner.
As a business owner you do have the right to do or not do business with someone.
However the question here is does the business owner have the right to discriminate against someone because of the way they are.
And let's look past the argument of whether or not being gay is a choice or you are born gayOriginally posted by grey580
As a business owner you do have the right to do or not do business with someone.
However the question here is does the business owner have the right to discriminate against someone because of the way they areI think the owner doesn't believe
in same sex marriage. Nothing to do with race or ethnicity IMO
He has all the right to refuse to sell a 'wedding cake'. Definition of weddings
vary according to different religions but none of them have anything mentioned about 'same sex marriage'. Personally I couldn't care less if I were
the bakery owner as to me its about business transactions even though I am not in favor of same sex marriage.
Originally posted by fomalhautHmmm.....did it ever occur to you that I don't subscribe to any of the religions because much like government they are all about control?
I started reading this thread and thought that if the bakery doesn't want to sell them a cake, then it's their (the bakeries loss) But if they'd
refused to do business with someone because they were white or black etc, it would be illegal. So, on balance, sue 'em.
To me it's all about fellow decency and respect for any/all human beings. You can't discuss incidents like these without discussing how feelings
toward another human impacts ones actions. Obviously this business owner has a disdain for, or at the very least, a disagreement with, the homosexual
lifestyle, but, for the life of me, I can't figure out what a cake transaction has to do with someones sexual orientation.

Remember that the KKK was founded as a Christian group.
I believe at least a few would......
Good point, but even better yet what if it was a KKK member that had wanted to buy a cake for some KKK celebration? If he were refused service by the
owner would the ACLU be taking up his cause and would he be justified in his litigation?
This is exactly the point that I was attempting to make. Since we all have the right to believe as we choose how do we determine who's right carries
more weight

If I said JCB to you, what would you think? You'd think of diggers, that's what. Well, now they've unleashed a mobile phone on the world, and like the diggers it's inspired by, you can sum it up in 3 words: big, tough, yellow. If you're a builder, or if you're a carpenter, or even if you're just someone who lives life HARD, you need a phone that isn't going to be worried by the knocks and scrapes your life will give it. What you need is the new JCB TOUGH PHONE.
But what makes it so tough? Well, the fact that it's seemingly hewn from solid granite must play an important part in that. Basically, with its rock solid body, and rubberised shell, the JCB TOUGH PHONE is quite probably, tough enough to withstand a mountain falling on it (the mountain probably fell over when you threw the JCB phone at it, it's THAT hard). Ok, it's maybe not strong enough to withstand a mountain on top of it (but I'd love to test that), but it's rated to IP53, which means it's resistant to dust, water, shocks and impacts, without even batting an eyelid.
That's not to say it doesn't have SOME fun touches... For example, the custom JCB animations, the ringtone of a digger starting up... ok, that's not THAT useful, but it is VERY good fun.
The thing to remember is this: the JCB TOUGH PHONE doesn't have a camera. Or java. Or video playback. Or a music player. It isn't flashy. It isn't swanky. It isn't MEANT to be gadget-y. It's a phone, purely and simply, it's designed to make and receive calls, and to send and receive texts. And it's designed to do that in harsh environments, with brick dust flying round, rocks being chucked all over. If you get this frankly amazing JCB phone, you won't have a multimedia powerhouse. But you will have a phone that you could smash through a wall with!

The Tetanus Threat: Prevention Tips for Australians

Australia has experienced a recent spike in tetanus, a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. This bacterium can enter the body through open wounds and cause muscle stiffness, muscle spasms, and, in severe cases, death.
At the beginning of April, a Sydney woman died from tetanus in the first recorded fatality in NSW since 1993.
There have been two other NSW women who have contracted tetanus this year.
Older Australians are being urged to get tetanus boosters, as vaccination is the best protection against it.
Tetanus is a serious bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani, which produces a powerful toxin that affects the nervous system.
The bacteria can enter the body through cuts, wounds, or scratches that are contaminated with the bacteria or its spores.
It's sometimes referred to as lockjaw because one of its most common symptoms is muscle stiffness in the jaw and neck.
Symptoms of Tetanus
The symptoms of tetanus usually appear within 3 to 21 days after the infection.
The first symptoms include muscle stiffness and spasms, especially in the jaw and neck area, which can make it difficult to open the mouth or swallow. Other early symptoms include fever, headache, and sweating.
As it progresses, muscle spasms and stiffness may spread to other parts of the body, including the arms, legs, and abdomen.
The muscle spasms can be very painful and can cause difficulty breathing, swallowing, and speaking. In severe cases, tetanus can lead to respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, and death.
Causes of Tetanus
Tetanus is caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which is found in soil, dust, and manure.
The bacteria can enter the body through cuts, puncture wounds, or other breaks in the skin.
The spores can survive in the environment for years, and the bacteria can multiply and produce the toxin under certain conditions, such as when they are in contact with damaged tissue or a lack of oxygen.
All three tetanus cases this year have stemmed from contaminated garden soil entering the women's legs via a minor wound.
Complications of Tetanus
Tetanus can lead to several complications, including respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, and death.
Muscle spasms can be so severe that they can cause fractures, dislocations, or tears in the muscles or ligaments. The prolonged muscle spasms can also lead to muscle damage and inflammation, which can cause pain and stiffness.
In some cases, the disease can cause autonomic nervous system dysfunction, which can lead to fluctuations in blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, and excessive sweating.
In rare cases, tetanus can also lead to a form of encephalitis, which is inflammation of the brain.
As there is no cure for tetanus, receiving the tetanus vaccine and practising good wound care are vital for preventing health complications from this disease.
Managing and Preventing Tetanus
There is no cure for tetanus, and treatment focuses on managing the symptoms and preventing complications.
The mainstay of treatment is the administration of antitoxin, which neutralises the toxin produced by the bacteria. The antitoxin is usually given intravenously or injected into the muscle.
In addition to antitoxin, people with tetanus may also receive muscle relaxants or sedatives to help control muscle spasms and reduce pain. Antibiotics can also be given to kill the bacteria, although they are not effective in neutralising the toxin. People with severe tetanus may require mechanical ventilation to help with breathing.
Prevention of tetanus is based on vaccination and wound care. The tetanus vaccine is typically given as part of the routine childhood vaccination schedule and consists of a series of five doses given over several years. Booster shots are recommended every 10 years to maintain immunity.
Wound care is also an important aspect of tetanus prevention. Any wounds, especially deep or dirty wounds, should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to prevent infection. If there is a risk of tetanus, such as from a puncture wound, a tetanus booster shot may be recommended.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, tetanus is a serious bacterial infection that affects the nervous system and can be life-threatening.
It is caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani and can enter the body through cuts or wounds.
Symptoms include muscle stiffness, spasms, and pain, especially in the jaw and neck area. Complications of tetanus include respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, and death.

Special Projects
Students with specialized skills and interests, or with a specific assignment to fulfil for their major, have been able to carry out projects that have been helpful to Veritas and the Sighisoara community. Here are some examples:
Students initiated and ran for years "Coffee House", an outreach from the local Nazarene church that allowed them to connect with high school students and young adults with music, coffee and friendships.
A physical education major spent time socializing with a young man who had lost his legs in an accident, was able to raise funds to pay for artificial legs for his new friend, and taught him to ride a bicycle
A special education major and a recreational therapy major who were here for summer term started a program of socialization for adolescents with special needs, training and mentoring 7 high school students who volunteered to be "big brothers" and "big sisters" for the disabled teens. These teens were later integrated into the larger Veritas program for adults with special needs.
Social work and youth ministry majors have developed presentations on developing healthy relationships and the dangers of human trafficking, and have taken them into English classes in the local high schools.
A social work major who grew up riding horses introduced Veritas to the idea of "equine therapy" – the therapeutic use of horses for people with disabilities. The discovery of an equine therapist in a village not far from Sighisoara allowed the student to organize weekly excursions to the village with a car-full of special needs clients. She made a presentation to the local Rotary Club and obtained funding for Veritas to continue the program after her return to the US. Over the past five years it has been very effective in stimulating and helping clients with autism in particular.
A graphics design major produced printed materials for use in the International Café and for more general Veritas publicity. A social work major used her camera to document Veritas activities – several of her pictures were used on a new brochure aimed at the local community. For her final senior project a communications major made a video about a family that had been helped to make significant changes for the better with Veritas support – you can see the video on the Veritas website:
An "undecided" student with gifts in story telling and art produced a video with one of her most popular illustrated stories, with a Romanian sound track. The story, emphasizing the value of diversity was especially intended for the Kids' Club children who struggle against prejudice and discrimination.

In line with this year's theme of Inclusive Green Growth, we asked Clubs to create a car powered by renewable energy. There were no limitations to size, shape, color, or number of passengers. Our only rule was that the cars had to move without being pushed or touched.
The challenge was tough, but we were blown away by the results we saw! Clubs stepped up with creative designs that not only got their cars moving, but also showed great problem-solving skills. Without further ado, we're excited to share the 3 victors who made it through!
Team Avocado used pressurized air along with a small amount of water to fuel their designs. Not only did they achieve a moving car, they tested various air pressure levels to see which would make their car travel the farthest. And travel far it did – a whopping 27 feet using a PSI of 25! The girls were also environmentally (and price) conscious, using recyclable resources such as sponges, cardboard, skewers, CDs, and recycled water bottles. Great work!
Check out the amazing video of their car, complete with slow-motion (and watch out NASCAR!)
Next, 1st place in the Air/Wind category goes to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard Center!
These kids had the bright idea to use a balloon to power their car. Their model didn't require much in the way of resources to have a big effect – the car traveled just over 17 feet! And from the looks of it, the successful car was an attention-grabber at the Club. Check out the video of their unique design!
While they had initially planned to build a solar-powered car, they didn't give up when they ran into some bumps along the way (hey, experimenting is a part of science!) Instead, they switched to a wind-powered design with a handmade sail, and their determination paid off. Way to stick with it, we love the enthusiasm! Jump to 0:45 of the video to see the action really pick up!
Congratulations to all the challenge participants, you did an amazing job! This was no easy task, and we here at BGCA know that first-hand because we also tried the challenge. We had our fair share of trial and error, but thanks to a brilliantly sunny day, our rag-tag team of youth development professionals was able to make it work! Check out the proof in our video! 🙂!
And for those Clubs that didn't have time to complete the STEM Challenge (or didn't know where to start), never fear! You can still have fun with your kids researching how other people have tackled this task and then trying to recreate (and improve upon) their designs! Here are some videos with more detailed instructions to get you started:

1. Introduction
Facing a large amount of information and data, the rapid development and wide application of data mining technology effectively solve the problem of how to use massive amounts of information. Various data mining analysis methods are also increasing. Classification, prediction, association rules, clustering, etc., are all frequently used data mining methods. Among them, association rules are widely used in big data mining as a rule-based machine learning algorithm [1]. Association rules find data with certain relevance and relevance from massive data, and describe the common attributes or laws of these data. Association rules are a simple and practical analysis technique, which originally originated from shopping basket analysis and goods placement, and increases the sales of goods by finding the connections between goods. The current association rules have been applied in many fields, such as the financial industry and e-commerce. The Apriori algorithm, CARMA algorithm, and FP-Growth algorithm are the classic algorithms in association rules [2–4].
In recent years, data mining has also been widely used in the education field, especially in the application of student performance. Through the analysis of the academic performance, it is possible to understand the student's learning situation, find the student's weaknesses, better check the deficiencies and make up for omissions, promote the improvement of students' academic performance, and at the same time improve the school's teaching level. However, the current analysis of student performance is mainly simple performance query, deletion, etc., and a series of behavioral factors related to academic performance have not been excavated and analyzed, such as the impact of students' daily behavior on learning [5]. However, it is well known that there is a close relationship between student learning behavior and academic performance, so the current role of data mining has not been fully utilized [6]. In the face of this situation, this article conducts a more in-depth analysis of the application of data mining in the analysis of high-efficiency students' English scores and specifically selects association rules to mine student scores. The level of students' English performance is also inextricably linked to factors such as the school's teachers and their teaching conditions. Therefore, it is suitable to use the association rule algorithm to find the relationship between English performance and student behavior, teachers, and other factors so as to propose English teaching suggestions.
2. Related Theories
2.1. Data Mining
Big data [7] refers to data sets that cannot be collected, processed, and analyzed within a tolerable time frame using traditional data processing and analysis techniques or software and hardware tools. Compared with the traditional dataset, it has 4V characteristics [8]: scale (Volume), diversity (Variety), value (Value), and effectiveness (Velocity). According to different mining tasks, data mining processing methods can be divided into classification analysis, cluster analysis, association rule mining, and sequence analysis. Blackett further divides the processing methods into 3 categories according to the degree of data analysis [9]: descriptive analysis that uses historical data to summarize, predictive analysis that uses related technologies to predict future probabilities or trends, and discovers hidden data relevance to help users make a regular analysis of decision making. Cluster analysis is used to describe data, which classifies data by measuring the similarity between data; classification analysis obtains classification rules based on training data, so it is often used for predictive analysis; the purpose of association rule mining is to find and extract valuable hidden patterns, and the idea is also applicable to sequence pattern discovery. Among them, classification belongs to supervised learning, and clustering and association rule mining belong to unsupervised learning. As commonly used machine learning algorithms, these three types of methods have received more attention and research in academia, and many methods and theories have been developed. Big data mining is specific, and the algorithm definition is shown in Figure 1. This article will expand the relevant content in sequence according to classification, clustering, and association rule mining.
Figure 1
Big data mining method.
2.1.1. Classification Algorithm
According to the mental framework in Figure 1, the classification algorithm of streaming data is first introduced. Classification is a supervised learning method [10]. Its purpose is to discover the classification rules through the examples in the training data set and the class labels to which the examples belong and use the classification rules to predict the class label of the unknown instance. The classification process has two stages: (1) the classification rule learning stage, which analyzes and summarizes the label situation of each instance class in the training set, discovers the classification rules, and creates a suitable classifier model; (2) the classification stage of the test set. In this stage, the classification accuracy of the classifier model needs to be evaluated on the validation set. If the accuracy is good, the classifier is used to preclassify the instances in the test set; otherwise, the classifier model needs to be retrained.
Streaming data classification algorithms are mainly classified into two categories according to the number of classifiers included [11] as follows: single model algorithm and integrated classification algorithm. The single-model algorithm improves and expands the traditional batch classification algorithm and is equipped with a specific concept drift processing mechanism so that it can adapt to the changes in the data in the stream. According to traditional classification algorithms, single-model algorithms can be divided into several types based on decision trees, support vector machines, and Bayesian models. The ensemble learning algorithm trains N base classifiers based on data in different time periods, combines each classification model into an ensemble classifier through a certain combination method, and synthesizes the results of each base classifier according to a certain mechanism to obtain the result of the ensemble model, making the integrated model more robust and able to deal with the problem of concept drift flexibly.
2.1.2. Clustering Algorithm
Big data clustering is an unsupervised learning method [12], which does not require predefined categories and training samples. Its purpose is to divide the unknown data set into several clusters so that the data points in the same cluster are as similar as a possible degree, and the data points in different clusters have as much dissimilarity as possible. There are two main stages in the clustering process:(1)Define the similarity function and use it as the basis for judging whether the data are similar.(2)Select the appropriate clustering algorithm to divide the data objects into different clusters. Big data clustering analysis methods can be divided into single-machine clustering methods and multimachine clustering methods [13]. The realization of the single-machine clustering method is mainly through the optimization and expansion of the classic clustering algorithm and the dimensionality reduction or sampling of the data set, while the mainstream multimachine clustering method is mainly reflected in the architecture and other aspects. There is no essential difference between the class algorithm and the classic clustering algorithm.(3)Association rule algorithm big data association rule mining refers to discovering hidden information relevance from a large amount of data and analyzing the relevance to help decision makers make correct decisions. The strength of association rules can be measured by support and confidence [14]: if there is a rule X ⟶ Y, the support is the frequency of transactions X and Y appearing in the transaction database, which is used to judge whether the rule has utility value; confidence: this degree is the frequency of the occurrence of transaction Y when transaction X appears and is used to judge the correctness of the rule. There are two main steps in association rule mining: (1) find out the rule whose support degree is not less than the minimum support degree from the data called "frequent pattern" or "frequent item set;" (2) find out the confidence degree not less than the minimum from the frequent pattern The strong association rules with confidence thresholds focus on the mining of frequent patterns. Association rule mining can be divided into basic single-machine association rule mining and multimachine parallel association rule mining based on the distributed computing framework [15].
2.2. Association Rule Method
Association rules refer to the frequent patterns, correlations, or causal structures that exist between item sets or object sets in log data, relational data, or other information carriers. The acquisition of association rules is mainly through data mining methods to find frequent patterns from a large number of event record databases [16] and discover new patterns and potential knowledge by analyzing frequent situations.
2.2.1. Algorithm Type
(1) Apriori algorithm. The Apriori algorithm based on frequent item sets is one of the classic algorithms in the field of association rule mining [17]. The data structure of the Apriori algorithm is simple, clear, and easy to understand, but the application of the Apriori algorithm requires multiple scans of the database, which is expensive. Although the Apriori algorithm itself has made some optimizations, the time and space complexity of using this method is large, and the efficiency is not high. The specific steps are as follows:(1)Scan the original transactional data and extract the candidate 1 item set. According to the given minimum support s, extract the item set whose frequency of the item set is not less than the support s to form a frequent 1 item set.(2)Scan the original transactional data and extract the set of candidate 2 item sets, judge each 2 item sets in the set, exclude the 2 item sets that do not contain frequent 1 item set, and form a new set as the candidate set. According to the support degree s, the frequent 2 item sets are filtered out.(3)Repeat the idea of the second step, get frequent 3 item sets, frequent 4 item sets,...frequent n item sets, and n+1 item sets do not meet the support threshold condition.(4)Given the confidence level, judge whether each frequent item set rule is a valid rule, calculate the lift of the rule, and judge whether the strong rule is valid.
(2) FP-Growth algorithm. The advantage of the FP-Growth algorithm is that it mines all frequent item sets without generating a large number of candidate sets. With the generation of large-scale data, the processing capabilities of data mining in a single-machine environment are challenged in both storage and computing. A parallel computing environment has become the first choice for solving big data processing problems. Some researchers have proposed parallel algorithms based on multithreading [18]. Although the pressure of storage and calculation has been relieved to a great extent, the limitation of memory resources has become the algorithm of the bottleneck of expansion; the FP-Growth algorithm is based on the Apriori principle. It finds frequent item sets by storing the data set on the FP (Frequent Pattern) tree but cannot find the association rules between the data. The FP-Growth algorithm only needs to scan the database twice, while the Apriori algorithm needs to scan the data set once when seeking each potential frequent item set. The process of the FP-Growth algorithm is to first construct the FP tree and then to use it to mining frequent item sets. When constructing the FP tree, you need to scan both sides of the data set. The first scan is used to count the frequency, and the second scan is to consider frequent item sets.
(3) CARMA algorithm. The CARMA algorithm was proposed by Christian Hidber and is a classic algorithm in association rules. It uses the iterative method of layer-by-layer search to find the relationship between the item sets in the database to form rules. The process consists of connection (matrix-like operations) and pruning (removing unnecessary intermediate results). The concept of item sets in this algorithm is a collection of items. A set containing K items is a K-item set. The frequency of item set occurrence is the number of transactions containing the set, which is called the frequency of the itemset. If a certain item set meets the minimum support degree, it is called a frequent item set [19].
The CARMA algorithm is mainly to find the set sum of the data items in the transaction set D frequently. It has mainly two steps. In the first step of the application process, a superset of the data item frequency set will appear. This set is a set of potential data item frequency sets. The second step may not be performed on all transaction sets. Traverse, but since the user number can modify the support in the first step, the result of the algorithm after the second step should match the support modified in the first step. In the entire application process, the algorithm realizes the maintenance of the set V, which can process each transaction in D and add or delete elements in the set V. When the second traversal is completed, V is the final result.
2.2.2. Algorithm Evaluation Criteria
Data association processing can also be called "data analysis" or "data association analysis." Association analysis is a simple practical data analysis technology is used to discover correlations or associations in a large number of data sets so as to describe the laws and patterns of certain attributes in a thing at the same time. Association rule analysis is generally used. Association rule discovery is to find the association between things. For example, it can be found from a set of data items included in a set of (assuming commodity purchases) transactions as follows: if a purchase transaction contains item X and item Y, then N% of all purchase transactions includes item Z of the purchase transaction. Sequence rule discovery is similar to association rule discovery, which is used to find the sequence relationship between things.
The proportion of transactions that include both pre-events and postevents in the association rules is called confidence; the proportion of transactions that include both pre- and postrules is called support.
The calculation method of confidence is
The calculation method of support is
3. Improving the CARMA Algorithm
The CARMA algorithm is a classic association rule algorithm, which has low memory usage and continuous data processing features. However, the CARMA algorithm is not fast, and the mining efficiency is low. The way of solving this problem is one difficult question. This section proposes to introduce the genetic algorithm into the CARMA algorithm to improve the accuracy of the algorithm.
3.1. Basic Principles
The CARMA algorithm is derived from the system model. A system model refers to a model that includes inputs and outputs, including a random model and a deterministic model. Random models can be seen everywhere in practice; this is due to the randomness of the system due to noise interference [20]. Figure 4 shows the structure of the random model.
Figure 4
Structure diagram of random model.
The stochastic system can be expressed by the following formula:
In the definition symbol, G(z) is called the system model transfer function, and H(z) is called the noise model transfer function.
When we get ; this is called the "autoregressive model."
When , is obtained, which is called the "controlled CARMA model."
The CARMA algorithm is an online algorithm, which consumes less memory during the calculation process, so it is widely used in online mining. However, the disadvantage of this algorithm is that it runs slightly slower. In order to improve the efficiency of the algorithm, this paper proposes to combine the genetic algorithm and the CARMA algorithm to form the CARMA algorithm based on the genetic algorithm to improve the efficiency of the algorithm.
3.2. Genetic Algorithm
Genetic algorithm is a bionic algorithm born out of natural selection in Darwin's theory of evolution [21]. The algorithm flow of the process diagram is shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5
Flowchart of genetic algorithm.
It can be seen from the figure that the gene is the most basic unit in the structure of the genetic algorithm, and the gene constitutes the chromosome and finally constitutes the population. A detailed analysis is given below:(1)Gene: In biology, a gene is a nucleotide sequence that produces a polypeptide chain. The DNA that contains genetic information in this sequence is the smallest unit of genetic behavior. In order to simulate gene behavior, the concept of a gene is added to the genetic algorithm [22].(2)Chromosomes: According to the principles of genetics, chromosomes are composed of a limited number of genes, and chromosomes carry a lot of information. There are two ways to encode chromosomes in genetic algorithms:One is binary numbering, and the other is cross coding. The following two pairs of codes are analyzed. The principle of binary encoding is to convert design variables into binary encoding. Assuming that there are variables (1, 2, ...) , then the corresponding binary string length is set to (1, 2, ...) , and the decimal value (1,2, ...) . The calculation method is(3)Population: In order to simulate the biological population, a limited number of chromosomes are integrated as the population number in the genetic algorithm. The population size setting directly affects the efficiency of the algorithm. The population size of the genetic algorithm designed in this paper is set in 150 pieces.(4)Fitness: a fitness function is introduced for the evaluation of indicators. The fitness calculation methods are as follows: when calculating the maximum value of the objective function, the method is calculated according to the following formula:The calculation method of the minimum value of the objective function is calculated according to the following formula:Variant calculation method for solving the objective function optimization problem is as follows: when the minimum value needs to be calculated, there arewhere represents the maximum estimated value of the function. When the objective function is the maximum, thenwhere represents the minimum estimated value of the function. The objective function fraction calculation algorithm is as follows: when the minimum problem needs to be calculated, there areWhen the objective function calculates the biggest problem, there areThe fitness function changes mainly include linear changes, power function changes, and exponential changes.(5)Selection: The genetic algorithm introduces selection to select the superior individual from the group, and the elimination of inferior individuals makes the population better. At present, the selection of calculation methods in genetic algorithms is mainly based on deviation, expectation, probability, and so on. This article chooses according to the compass calculation method. The probability calculation method is as follows:(6)Crossover: It refers to the gene exchange between two parents, and the algorithm search ability is enhanced after crossover.(7)Mutation: It is easy for genes to crossover all combinations during the crossover process. In order to prevent the partial algorithm, the optimal case introduces variation. The mutation rate in the genetic algorithm cannot be set too high. If it is too high, the algorithm will no longer have the search ability.
3.3. Improved CARMA Algorithm Model
The principle of the CARMA algorithm based on the genetic algorithm proposed in this paper is to use the genetic algorithm for frequent item search. However, the CARMA algorithm only implements mining, which reduces the operating efficiency of the CARMA algorithm. The way to improve the efficiency of the CARMA algorithm is to constrain the crossover operator and mutation algorithm of the genetic algorithm, which improves the algorithm operation efficiency. According to the CARMA algorithm idea for algorithm design [23], the designed algorithm based on a genetic algorithm, i.e., the CARMA algorithm flow, is shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6
CARMA algorithm flowchart based on genetic algorithm.
From Figure 6, we can see that the improved CARMA algorithm first reads student information from the MySQL database and then divides the data in the MySQL database into several sub-data sets and stores them in the memory; second, it uses the rules in the CARMA algorithm to control the data in the memory database. Strong decomposition is carried out; the decomposed data are merged; the genetic algorithm is applied to the CARMA algorithm to achieve strength search.
From Figure 6, we can see that the core idea of the algorithm consists of two parts: (1) the MySQL database is split into multiple subdatabases, the data are transferred to the memory, and then, the operation of merging the strength set is implemented; (2) the genetic algorithm is introduced into the strength set to find the optimal strength set. The use of the genetic algorithm greatly reduces data I/O operations, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the CARMA algorithm. The fitness function setting is performed after completing the encoding according to the above operations. When genetic algorithms need to solve problems, the CARMA algorithm reads the database efficiency problem. For this reason, the fitness function constructed in this paper includes confidence and support as two variables of persistence. The calculation method of the fitness function is as follows:
In the above formula, a and b are constants, S(x) represents the degree of support, and B(x) represents the degree of confidence. Next, the genetic algorithm selection operation is performed. As analyzed above, this article chooses the probability calculation method to choose. Algorithm 1 describes the steps of the CARMA algorithm based on the genetic algorithm in detail.
Input: obtain the data set from the MySQL database and set the corresponding parameters of the genetic algorithm
Output: output all frequent item set A

//Find out frequent 1-items from the future data set and store the data in order
Data source: the experimental data come from the database stored in the student status management system of a school in the past three years (the student status management system database is an open-source MySQL database). At present, the amount of data stored in the student status management system reaches 500 Mb. The first step is to divide the database. This algorithm is divided into 20 data sets. The data are read into the memory, respectively, and the strength set is calculated according to the CARMA algorithm, and the strength set is combined together.
There are many attributes in the original four-level performance data, and attributes that are irrelevant, weakly relevant, or redundant with the research are deleted. In the end, the attributes we selected are the four-level total score (S), the total test score (T), the listening score (L), the reading score (R), and the writing score (W). According to the previous analysis of the student's related information factors, the related table is obtained. Then, the parameters are set; the fitness function method used is f(x) = S(x) + B(x); the minimum support is 0.21, the minimum confidence is 0.81; the initial number of the population is set to 150; the mutation rate is 0.14; the crossover probability is 0.9.
4.2. Experimental Results
From Table 1, it can be seen that according to the combination of the genetic algorithm and the CARMA algorithm, the student performance mining found that there is a correlation between student absenteeism, usual performance, family status, and English performance.
Table 1
Part of student's English performance-related collection.
The performance analysis of the improved algorithm and the CARMA algorithm is as follows. The number of excavations affects the efficiency of excavation. The memory is 512 Mb, the number of division levels is 6, and the algorithm is realized by MATLAB programming. The result is shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7
Impact of data volume on mining efficiency.
It can be seen from Figure 7 that the improved algorithm and the classic CARMA algorithm increase the mining time as the number of mining increases. The operating efficiency of the improved CRRMA algorithm has been improved, which is better than the improved algorithm in literature [24] and better than the classic CARMA algorithm, which shows that adding the genetic algorithm to an algorithm can improve the operating efficiency of the algorithm.
In order to investigate the accuracy of the improved algorithm in data mining, the existing data are obtained from the student information database. Mining data quality analysis is performed according to the formula as follows:
In the above formula, η represents the mining success rate, a represents the number of successful mining, and b represents the number of failed mining. The excavation results are shown in Table 2.
Table 2
Comparison of improved algorithm and CARMA algorithm mining quality.
It can be seen from Table 2 that the mining accuracy rate of the improved algorithm reaches 97.985%, and the mining accuracy rate before the improvement is 92.221%, indicating that the improved algorithm can improve the accuracy of mining.
5. Conclusion
This paper uses data mining technology to analyze students' English scores. Aiming at the influence of many factors on the students' English scores, the analysis is realized by using the association rule algorithm. This paper is based on association rules. The students' English scores are analyzed and applied, and the main tasks are as follows:(1)At present, the problem of the CARMA algorithm is low operating efficiency.

King's Holiday
Imagine a world where people have to drink out of a specific water fountain or where races cannot mingle with one another without being arrested. Imagine a barrier between black and white, a segregated society with no compassion for the other race. Imagine if Martin Luther King Jr. never stood up against racial inequality.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day, falling on January 18th this year, celebrates the life and legacy of King as he stood up for equal rights in America. Though this holiday is widely celebrated, some Americans do not care or understand the true meaning of this day. Even though it is not a gift-giving holiday, it still holds in depth meaning and deserves to be celebrated by all.
It is a day of interracial acceptance and celebrating each other's differences. This holiday is not designed to be celebrated only by African Americans. The day is meant for every culture and race to commemorate the life of a man who gave up his own for America's equality.
"I think Americans should pay attention to the lessons of Martin Luther King because he helped make sense out of a great deal of madness and brought rights that all people can enjoy especially the African American culture and other minorities. He had the dream that everyone is born equal and people are celebrated and respected for that," Mrs. Kuta, sociology and government teacher, said.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is not only a day of remembrance for a man so bold and outspoken, but it is a day of service. King's goal for America was that the country would rejoice and come together to help one another. The day is meant for helping the helpless, feeding the hungry, and most importantly, loving each other.
King's powerful message embodied America and gave citizens hope again. The only way for our country to reach its potential is to bring his beliefs to life, give them meaning, and be the change that King seeked.
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." -Martin Luther King Jr.

When you're looking for hair loss prevention or hair restoration treatments, you'll need to discuss your condition with a trichologist. A trichologist needs to conduct some routine trichology tests to establish the cause of your hair loss. This can then help them evaluate and apply the correct cause of treatment.
Here, we take a look at some of the common questions and trichology tests you will go through with your trichologist, in order to leave you better prepared for your first appointment.
What is a trichologist?
A trichologist is a medical specialist who specialises in establishing and treating diseases of the hair and scalp. All reputable hair restoration clinics should work with experienced trichologists who can diagnose hair and scalp conditions and recommend the best course of action.
What your trichologist will ask you
Medical history
It is essential you provide your trichologist with an overview of your medical history, as a previous condition may be contributing to your hair loss or scalp condition. Family history and genetics may also have a part to play. The more information you are able to give, the easier it will be for your trichologist to establish and treat the cause of your hair loss and discomfort.
Diet
Not eating a well-balanced diet can often dramatically affect hair growth and condition. A lack of vitamins, iron, zinc and folic acid will stunt hair growth. Your hair is the last point of your body to get nutrients, as your internal organs will receive the nutrients first. So ensuring you have a good amount in your system means your hair will get some too!
Stress
Stress is one of the most common causes of alopecia (dramatic hair loss). This is especially true if your stress is due to a major life event or trauma. Letting your trichologist know of any major stressors you've recently been exposed to will help them evaluate why you are experiencing hair loss.
Lifestyle
This is a combination of your diet, sleep habits, and whether you consume alcohol or smoke. Like any health check, letting your trichologist know all the details means they can provide you with the correct treatment.
Hair Care Routine
Having a good hair care routine and treating your hair gently works wonders. Your trichologist needs to know how you currently care for your hair, including regular treatments or styling. This will enable them to advise you on ways to improve your hair quality and scalp condition at home, helping to prevent damage.
Trichology tests your trichologist will carry out
Blood trichology tests
Blood gives a lot of information about what is going on in your body. Crucial blood tests may determine what is causing your scalp discomfort and hair loss.
Hair loss blood tests look at your iron levels (including ferritin, iron stores), your red and white blood cells, minerals and vitamins, folic acid and your thyroid. Blood tests will also be performed regularly throughout your course of treatment to ensure that the medication or other treatment prescribed is working effectively.
You can request blood tests from your GP. A GP will read the tests differently to a trichologist. What appears normal and healthy to a GP may not to a trichologist, who is looking for specific hair loss-related markers. A trichologist can read into the results to find out what is causing your hair loss.
Hormone trichology tests
Your trichologist will also occasionally run hormonal tests. Pattern baldness (and some other types of hair loss) are caused by elevated levels of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT_. That means hormone tests can also establish a reason for your hair loss.
Examination of the hair and scalp
Your trichologist and their assistant will take time (usually around 40-50 minutes) to thoroughly examine your hair and scalp. This initial consultation helps your trichologist ascertain scalp conditions and possible irritations and analyse what may be causing your hair loss or scalp issues. Your hair can provide your trichologist with many tell-tell signs of underlying conditions contributing to hair loss.
Your consultation
Booking a consultation to discuss your hair loss can feel like a big step to take. If you're considering a hair transplant, make sure you're prepared for your consultation by finding out what to expect at your first hair transplant consultation.

Air fryers have revolutionized the way we cook at home, offering a healthier alternative to traditional deep frying methods. These compact countertop appliances use hot air circulation to mimic the effects of deep frying, resulting in crispy and delicious foods with significantly less oil. With their convenience and versatility, air fryers have become a popular choice for home cooks looking to enjoy their favorite fried foods guilt-free. In this ultimate guide, we will explore how air fryers work, the benefits they offer, and provide tips for using them effectively. So let's dive in and uncover the magic of air fryers!
How air fryers work
How air fryers work: Air fryers utilize a unique cooking method that combines the power of hot air and a small amount of oil to produce crispy and delicious food. The appliance is equipped with a heating element and a fan, which circulates the hot air around the food at high speeds. This rapid circulation creates a convection effect, similar to that of a traditional oven but much faster. The hot air rapidly heats up the food's surface, creating a crispy outer layer while sealing in moisture inside. The addition of a small amount of oil helps to enhance the browning process, resulting in evenly cooked and flavorful dishes. This innovative technology allows you to achieve the same texture and taste as deep-fried foods but with significantly less oil, making it a healthier alternative for home cooking.
Benefits of using air fryers at home
1. Healthier cooking: Air fryers require little to no oil, making them a healthier alternative to traditional deep frying. By using hot air circulation, they can achieve the same crispy texture without the excess oil and fat.
2. Time-saving: Air fryers cook food faster than conventional ovens, reducing cooking time significantly. This makes them perfect for busy individuals or families who want quick and easy meals without compromising on taste.
3. Versatility: Air fryers are not limited to just frying. They can also grill, roast, bake, and even reheat leftovers. This versatility allows you to experiment with a wide range of recipes and cuisines.
4. Energy-efficient: Compared to traditional ovens, air fryers use less energy due to their smaller size and quicker cooking times. This can help reduce your electricity bills while still achieving delicious results.
5. Less mess: With air fryers, there is no need for excessive oil splatters or dealing with messy deep-frying equipment. The enclosed cooking chamber ensures minimal mess, making cleanup a breeze.
6. Consistent results: Air fryers provide consistent and evenly cooked food every time. The circulating hot air ensures that your meals are cooked thoroughly and evenly without the need for constant monitoring or flipping.
7. Preserves nutrients: The rapid cooking process in air fryers helps retain more nutrients in the food compared to traditional frying methods that may strip away essential vitamins and minerals.
Incorporating an air fryer into your kitchen arsenal brings numerous benefits that enhance your cooking experience while promoting healthier eating habits for you and your family.
Health advantages of cooking with air fryers
1. Reduced oil consumption: One of the major health benefits of using air fryers is that they require significantly less oil compared to traditional deep frying methods. Air fryers use hot air circulation to cook food, resulting in crispy and delicious meals with up to 80% less oil. This can help lower your overall fat intake and reduce the risk of heart disease and obesity.
2. Lower calorie content: By using less oil, air frying can significantly reduce the calorie content of your favorite fried foods. For example, a serving of traditionally deep-fried French fries contains around 365 calories, while the same amount cooked in an air fryer contains only about 150 calories. This makes air frying a healthier alternative for those watching their calorie intake.
3. Decreased formation of harmful compounds: When food is deep-fried, it can form potentially harmful compounds such as acrylamide, which is linked to an increased risk of cancer. Air frying minimizes the formation of these compounds by using less oil and shorter cooking times at high temperatures.
4. Retention of nutrients: Air frying preserves more nutrients in food compared to traditional frying methods that often lead to nutrient loss due to high heat exposure and prolonged cooking times. The rapid cooking process in an air fryer helps retain vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants present in the ingredients.
5. Healthier cooking alternatives: Air fryers offer a healthier way to enjoy your favorite fried foods without compromising on taste or texture. You can still achieve a crispy exterior while reducing the negative health effects associated with excessive oil consumption.
Incorporating an air fryer into your kitchen not only allows you to indulge in guilt-free versions of your favorite fried dishes but also promotes better overall health by reducing fat intake, calorie content, and harmful compound formation during cooking.
Tips for using air fryers effectively
1. Preheat the air fryer: Just like with a traditional oven, preheating your air fryer can help ensure even cooking and crispy results. Most models have a preheat function that you can use for a few minutes before adding your food.
2. Don't overcrowd the basket: To achieve optimal results, it's important not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. Leave enough space between the food items to allow hot air to circulate evenly around them.
3. Shake or flip halfway through cooking: To ensure even browning and crispiness, shake or flip your food halfway through the cooking process. This will help promote even cooking on all sides.
4. Use oil sparingly: While air fryers require less oil than traditional frying methods, it's still important to use oil sparingly. A light coating of oil can help enhance flavor and texture without adding excessive calories.
5. Experiment with different cooking times and temperatures: Every air fryer is different, so it may take some trial and error to find the perfect cooking time and temperature for your favorite recipes. Start with recommended guidelines and adjust as needed based on personal preference.
6. Preparing frozen foods: Air fryers are great for cooking frozen foods like fries, chicken nuggets, or fish sticks. For best results, preheat the air fryer and cook at a slightly higher temperature than recommended on the packaging.
7. Clean regularly: Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the performance of your air fryer. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and make sure to remove any excess grease or food particles from the basket and tray.
By following these tips, you can make the most out of your air fryer and enjoy delicious, crispy meals with ease!

Cleaning and maintenance of air fryers
Cleaning and maintaining your air fryer is essential to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. Here are some tips to keep your air fryer in top condition:
1. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down completely before cleaning.
2. Remove the basket or tray from the air fryer and wash it with warm soapy water. Use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to avoid scratching the surface.
3. For stubborn grease or food residue, soak the basket or tray in warm soapy water for a few minutes before scrubbing.
4. Wipe the interior of the air fryer with a damp cloth to remove any oil splatters or debris.
5. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads on the air fryer as they can damage the non-stick coating.
6. Clean the exterior of the appliance with a soft damp cloth to remove any fingerprints or stains.
7. Regularly clean the heating element and fan with a brush or soft cloth to prevent buildup of grease and dust.
8. Check for any signs of wear or damage on the power cord, plug, and other parts of the air fryer. If necessary, consult the manufacturer for repairs or replacement parts.
By following these cleaning and maintenance practices, you can ensure that your air fryer remains in excellent condition, providing you with delicious and healthy meals for years to come.
Factors to consider when purchasing an air fryer for your home
1. Size and capacity: Determine the size of the air fryer that will best suit your needs. Consider the number of people you typically cook for and the amount of food you usually prepare.
2. Power and wattage: Look for an air fryer with sufficient power and wattage to ensure quick and even cooking. Higher wattage models tend to provide better results.
3. Temperature control: Opt for an air fryer that offers precise temperature control, allowing you to adjust the heat according to different recipes.
4. Cooking presets: Some air fryers come with pre-programmed settings for specific dishes such as fries, chicken, or fish. These presets can simplify cooking and ensure consistent results.
5. Ease of use: Choose an air fryer with user-friendly controls and intuitive interface. Look for features like digital displays, touch buttons, and easy-to-understand instructions.
6. Safety features: Check if the air fryer has safety features like automatic shut-off or cool-touch handles to prevent accidents while cooking.
7. Cleaning and maintenance: Consider how easy it is to clean the air fryer after use. Look for dishwasher-safe components or non-stick surfaces that are easy to wipe clean.
8. Reviews and ratings: Read customer reviews and ratings online to get insights into the performance, durability, and reliability of different air fryer models before making a purchase.
By considering these factors, you can make an informed decision when selecting an air fryer that suits your cooking needs and preferences, ensuring a satisfying culinary experience at home.
In conclusion, air fryers have revolutionized home cooking by providing a convenient and healthier alternative to traditional frying methods.

Modern British Drama
In modern London, plays matter. They are part of the cultural dialogue of the nation. They are important for Britain's idea of itself and for its self-presentation to the world. They have been exported with great success to America and the rest of the English-speaking world.
Professor Peter Saccio has selected the major British playwrights of the past century to cover in this course: Wilde, Shaw, Coward, Beckett, Osborne, Pinter, Stoppard, Churchill, and Hare. His reasons for selecting them vary:
Some wittily celebrate (or satirize) the manners of an elite class.
Some explore the large or subtle changes in a kingdom that once ruled a quarter of the Earth and now produces royal soap opera.
Some assault the socio-political establishment.
Some probe the existential anxiety of the modern age.
All of them are enormously articulate, exploiting the verbal resources of the English language and the visual resources of the contemporary stage to hold up the mirror to our times.
"Unlike other media, dramatic art occurs in a certain place and time, in the 'here and now,'" states Professor Saccio. "The subject matter need not be visible or realistic. It can be historical, fantastic, or allegorical."
Social Interaction: The Root of British Theater
Professor Saccio finds the root of theater in social interaction. "It is the most immediate of the arts, displaying human situations through living actors before a present audience," he maintains.
He suggests that early 20th-century Britain found its best theatrical expression in the comedy of manners, the drama of upper-class drawing rooms. He goes on to argue that subsequent playwrights adapted, displaced, rebelled against, and revived the comedy of manners, thereby revealing changes in personal, family, and national life.
"British theater is uniquely in touch, not only with the conversation of our parlors, but also with the institutions of our public life and the back alleys of our minds," says Dr. Saccio.
Professor Saccio (Ph.D., Princeton University) is the Leon D. Black Professor of Shakespearean Studies and Professor of English Emeritus at Dartmouth College. As hundreds of students at Dartmouth have attested, Professor Saccio is a lecturer of rare passion and gifts. He was honored with Dartmouth's J. Kenneth Huntington Memorial Award for Outstanding Teaching. He is the author of Shakespeare's English Kings (1977), a recognized classic in its field, as well as other books and dozens of scholarly articles.
Lecture One: British Theater: 1890-1990
Lecture Two: Comedy of Manners: Wilde and Coward
Lecture Three: George Bernard Shaw: Socialist and Prophet
Lecture Four: John Osborne Looks Back in Anger
Lecture Five: Samuel Beckett Waits for Godot
Lecture Six: The Menace of Harold Pinter
Lecture Seven: The Inventions of Tom Stoppard
Lecture Eight: Political Theater: Caryl Churchill and David Hare

The Richest Man In Babylon
In this chapter, Kobbi and Bansir met with Arkad.
Arkad, the richest man in Babylon, was known for his liberality, generosity, and wealth. Every year his wealth would increase rapidly.
Arkad's friends were complaining that he is luckier than them. Even though Arkad and his friends received education from the same master from the same school, Arkad was the only person who became an honorable citizen between them. The question was Why? and How?
Arkad said that fate/luck is a dangerous thing that can bring no good to anyone.
According to him, people who gain wealth suddenly by luck , are not able to sustain that wealth for a prolonged period. For example, a person who wins a lottery, will not be able to sustain that wealth for a long time. He doesn't know how to save that and make that money work for him. This is why it is immoral to associate a man's wealth to fate or luck.
Arkad said that wealth cannot bring happiness in a person's life, but it can increase a man's ability to purchase the goods he desires. Fulfilled desires can add an aura of happiness in one's life.
Initially, Akrad failed to acquire wealth, but as time passed, he realized that to acquire wealth, one should use their time and knowledge intelligently.
During his time as a laborer, Arkad met a rich man whose name was Algamish. Arkad asked him the secret of his wealth, and Algamish suggested some tricks of acquiring wealth:
1."A part of all I earned was mine to keep" - A minimum of 10% should be saved by us every month no matter what the circumstances are. This is the only way by which a person's wealth can grow. If we spend more than what we earn,our wealth will not grow.
Wealth is like a tiny seed that needs time to grow. The more water you pour into a seed, the more it will grow.
2."Advice is one thing that is freely given away, but take only what is worth having" -
Arkad kept saving every month for the next year but made a mistake. He took all of his savings and went to a brickmaker to invest his money in jewelry. The brickmaker took all his money and ran away.
The lesson here is that one shouldn't seek advice in matters of money from a person who has expertise in another field. There is a probability that their guidance will not work properly for us, not because of their intentions, but because of their lack of knowledge.
Genuine advice comes from people who are experts in their respective fields.
As the chapter goes on, Arkad gives some more pieces of advice:
Have the desire to prosper.
Opportunity is a goddess and wastes no time for those who are unprepared.
When you set a task for yourself, complete it.
Do not set impractical tasks for yourself which you cannot complete.
Insure an income stream for your future
High rates are attractive, but a small rate of return is far more desirable than risk.
Enjoy your life while you are here and do not over save. This will bring unnecessary burden.

Wreaths Across America Honors Soldiers In St. Joseph County
The holiday season can be a joyous time for the public. It's a time when we gather around with our families and celebrate being together. But for some military families, it can be a reminder of the loved ones they're missing. December 14th, 2019 was National Wreaths Across America Day. On this day, we honor local soldiers who have lost their lives in battle by placing wreaths on their graves. They start the ceremony by reading passages about why the ceremony takes place and how they are honoring. The volunteers are each assigned a name and lined up until their soldier's name is called. Once they are called, the story of the fallen hero will be told, and the volunteer will place their wreath on the soldier's grave.
Elizabeth Rosfeld | PNN Volunteers helped remember the local soldiers who fought and lost their lives in battle
The organization began in 1992 after the Worchester Wreath Company found themselves with a surplus of wreaths. Morill Worchester remembered his time in Arlington Cemetary and decided to send those wreaths to less-visited areas of the cemetery. This ceremony went on for years until 2005 when a photo of the graves and wreaths went viral. After receiving national attention, Thousands of people sent in requests to help volunteer at Arlington and establish the same type of program in their own cemeteries. Worchester decided to send seven wreaths to each state. One for every branch of the military and some for the POW/MIAs. The wreaths making there way to the Arlington Cemetary started what is now the "Veterans Honor Parade" which travels down the East Coast starting in early December.
Elizabeth Rosfeld | PNN The soldier's names were called and their stories were told during Saturday's ceremony
After 2008, 300 locations hosted the wreath ceremony in all states and select overseas cemeteries. 60,000 volunteers participated and 1,000 wreaths were laid. It was in that year that December 14th was dubbed "Wreaths Across America Day." The organization pushes the message to "Remember, Honor, and Teach" the public about the people who sacrificed their lives for their country. They want to teach the youth about valuing their freedoms, and the importance of the people that decided to protect those freedoms. Every year the wreath-laying is held on the second or third Saturday of December. The St. Joseph Catholic Cemetary and Fariview Cemetary were the hosts for Mishawaka's ceremonies. Family members of soldiers gathered to remember their loved ones, leaving a single wreath on their headstone.

Speed and velocity for Edexcel A-level PhysicsOne of the units for measuring angles is radians. π radians is equivalent to 180°. An angle in degress can be converted to radians by dividing it by 180 and multiplying by π. Radians are typically used in calculations involving circular motion.
Angular displacement is the change in angle that an object travels through when travelling through a circle. It is calculated by dividing the distance travelled in the circle by the radius of the circle and is given in radians.
Angular velocity is the change in angular displacement per unit time. Its units are rad/s. Angular velocity can be calculated by dividing the angular displacement by the change in time. This is equivalent to dividing 2π by the time period, which is the time taken for the object to complete one rotation of the circle, or by 2πf, where f is the frequency of the object, ie. the number of rotations per second.
Angular velocity can be related to the linear speed at which the object is travelling around the circle. Angular velocity can be calculated by dividing the linear speed by the radius of the circle through which the object is travellingFatima is playing with a fidget spinner of radius 4 cm. Given that it has a linear speed of 9 m/s, calculate the time period of the fidget spinner.

Example essay writing, topic: Do People Have Some Rights Just By Being Human
1,535 people have some rights just by being human This question is concerned with whether or not it is possible for 'natural rights' to exist. 'Natural' rights are rights which we have 'naturally' as humans, in other words rights which we inherently have, just by being human. A large problem with answering this question is that of defining the term 'rights', a question to which the answer has been very elusive throughout the history of political analysis. The following investigation into the possibility of 'natural rights' will begin with an attempt to create a working definition of a rights, and will then proceed to examine the essence of humanity and the roots of what is a 'right', to see if it is possible to have a 'right's imply by being human. Questions concerning society, freedom and morality will all be seen to arise, and will be dealt with accordingly.
A most important attempt at defining rights is Richard Dworkin's metaphor of 'Rights as Trumps'. This is essentially comparing a rights to a trump in a card game, one which overrides what would otherwise have one the hand. Put in a political scenario, this metaphor functions as thus: Society may have and hold a set of rules and laws imposing on and restricting individuals behaviour. A right is something to which the individual is entitled that will be ensured over and above the civil laws and rules of the land. The existence of these rights is a way that individuals have a degree of sovereignty over the state, where civil laws are the tools of the state's sovereignty over individuals. This balance should create a situation which is morally justifiable.
A problem with this doctrine when it comes to 'natural rights', however, is the reliance on the existence of society to provide a definition of a right. A 'natural right' is one which should be able to be derived without th existence of a society, since it should be inherently clear from our humanity. It is possible to conceive of a situation in which a human being exists outside of society, indeed many philosophies are based on there having been a pre-social period of human existence. Although this is dubitable, it is important to justify a natural right through examining a single human being, since it is in the essence of humanity where the 'natural right' must be found. Another problem with this attempt at a definition of rights, is that it puts little emphasis of the importance of morality when making statements about rights. Dworkin's thesis defines a right without reference to any morals, yet any judgement over rights is almost always a moral judgement.
It shall be seen that any investigation of rights boils down to a moral investigation, and this presents significant problems. These shall be tackled at a later stage, but first this analysis will see how deep it is possible to penetrate the question of 'natural rights' without drifting into moral arguments. The historically most significant way of justifying 'natural rights' is through statement such as 'Men are born free'. This kind of statement, although not explicit in stating a 'right' as such, nevertheless has been the root of a number of political institutions, such as the French and American revolutions.
The statement above implies an inherent equality and freedom in mankind, and this has been taken by scholars to means that it implies certain 'natural rights'. Equality is seen from the implication of statements such as the one above that there is no reason for society to arbitrarily assign a certain individual higher status - from the colour of their skin, gender, or situation into which they were born. Possible objections to the use of statements such as these are rarely publicly voiced, as they would seem to clash with what seems to be the basis of any just society, yet it is not difficult to find problems with assumptions like 'men are born equal'. Firstly, and perhaps most significantly, there is little empirical evidence to suggest that this statement is true.
If anything, evidence shows that humans have widely varying attributes such as intelligence, physical ability, beauty, etc. Also, it could be argued that the statement by no means implies equality - the statement is simply a moral picture of what the world should be, but in actual fact is not, like. Therefore, as this statement is not a reflection of what human kind actually is, it is then not possible to derive the existence of 'natural rights' from it, as any conclusion must be of the form: It is morally desirable that mankind should have natural rights. This does not mean that there are natural rights, simply because we are human. A more detailed examination of natural rights can be done by scrutinizing a pre-social individual - a hypothetical human who exists on his own. It must be seen whether or not it is possible to derive any 'rights' from this person's existence alone, and any rights thus derived are clearly 'natural'.
One common definition of what it is to be human is that humans have free will. Clearly, this individual who lives in the world by himself has this attribute - he is capable of choice, and therefore has a degree of freedom. This does beg the question, however, of whether or not the fact that this man is inherently free due to his capability of choice means that he has the right to be free. Many political philosophers point this out as the one right that can best be described as 'natural'.
This assertion shall be scrutinised here. The right to freedom, although it immediately appears to be a very desirable attribute for any individual to have and for any society to guarantee, upon further examination proves to be more controversial. Firstly, a definition of freedom is required, and this question alone has created veritable mountains of philosophical argument. For simplicity's sake, here, the definition of the right to freedom shall be the right to be without obstacle to fulfil one's wants. This raises several questions which cast doubts on the practicality of speaking of an inherent 'right to freedom'. Firstly, there is the question of internal obstacles to fulfilling one's wants.
Internal obstacles are those such as weak-heartedness and selfishness which must be overcome when trying to achieve some long-term, higher goal. It would seem that these obstacles, as they deal with conflict in one's own wants, are irrelevant to the question of rights, although they do have a bearing on freedom. To solve this problem it is necessary to leave out internal barriers from our definition of freedom when discuss a human's right to freedom. The second such problem is that it may be, in some circumstances, for society to be morally justified in placing external barriers to an individuals freedom. This is a fundamental problem, as can be seen by referring back to the original definition and purpose of a right as stated above.
If a right is a 'trump' that protects against state oppression, and is by definition morally correct, then it can not be the case that it is possible for the state to be morally justified in violating an individual's right to freedom. This does seem to raise doubts that it is justifiable to speak of a 'natural' right to freedom. This final point seems to show that it is impossible to proceed in our discussion of natural rights without beginning to make moral statements. It can be seen that in every case of conflict between rights of individuals, and civil laws, there is a moral assumption over what is most beneficial for society. This reflects the fact that most society function on a form of utilitarianism, where the greatest good for the greatest number generally seems to be the aim of state and society. This is not followed in its strictest from, but when making judgements over whether or not it is allowable for a form of the right to freedom to be violated, it is generally investigated to see if more people in the society will benefit from the violation of that individual's rights.
One example is traffic codes. The restriction on any individual from driving however they please, although a violation of their right to freedom, creates greater safety for a great number of people, and thus is morally desirable. As can be seen, then, the discussion of natural rights is an inherently moral one. Moral question create fierce arguments, as it is nearly impossible to define a complete set of definite moral standards, taking into account different cultures and conflicting beliefs and interests. It is possible, however, to take the investigation of natural rights a fair distance before reaching the trap of making moral statements.
It can be seen that a right, although it is only functional as protection against state oppression, can be derived from that existence of a single individual, in the form of the right to freedom. This does raise many other questions about freedom in general, and how it is possible to relate the roles of the individual and society using the rights of an individual and the laws of society. 365.Genetic technology, in specific, enhancement,

South Africa's Efforts in stopping Genocide in Gaza. 南非制止加沙种族灭绝的努力
Genocide is a process that develops in ten stages that are predictable but not inexorable. At each stage, preventive measures can stop it. The process is not linear. Stages may occur simultaneously. Logically, later stages must be preceded by earlier stages. But all stages continue to operate throughout the process.
1. CLASSIFICATION: All cultures have categories to distinguish people into "us and them" by ethnicity, race, religion, or nationality: German and Jew, Hutu and Tutsi. Bipolar societies that lack mixed categories, such as Rwanda and Burundi, are the most likely to have genocide.
In case of Israel-Palestine, the Zionists have already categorized Palestinian as "them". The preventive stage has been passed long ago. And at this stage it is too late to make any reversal actions.
以以色列-巴勒斯坦为例,犹太复国主义者已经将巴勒斯坦人归类为"他们"。预防阶段早已过去。在现阶段,采取任何逆转行动都为时已晚。
2. SYMBOLIZATION: We give names or other symbols to the classifications. We name people "Jews" or "Gypsies," or distinguish them by colours or dress; and apply the symbols to members of groups. Classification and symbolization are universally human and do not necessarily result in genocide unless they lead to dehumanization. When combined with hatred, symbols may be forced upon unwilling members of pariah groups: the yellow star for Jews under Nazi rule, the blue scarf for people from the Eastern Zone in Khmer Rouge Cambodia.
Israel has symbolized Palestinian already and already reached at an irreversible stage. 以色列象征着巴勒斯坦已经并且已经进入不可逆转的阶段。
3. DISCRIMINATION: A dominant group uses law, custom, and political power to deny the rights of other groups. The powerless group may not be accorded full civil rights, voting rights, or even citizenship. The dominant group is driven by an exclusionary ideology that would deprive less powerful groups of their rights. The ideology advocates monopolization or expansion of power by the dominant group. It legitimizes the victimization of weaker groups. Advocates of exclusionary ideologies are often charismatic, expressing resentments of their followers, attracting support from the masses. Examples include the Nuremberg Laws of 1935 in Nazi Germany, which stripped Jews of their German citizenship, and prohibited their employment by the government and by universities. Denial of citizenship to the Rohingya Muslim minority in Burma is a current example.
Palestinian have no rights and Israel is controlling them. They do not have sovereignty at all. This is a stage, which Israel is not going to reverse. 巴勒斯坦人没有权利,以色列正在控制他们。他们根本没有主权。这是一个以色列不会逆转的阶段。
4. DEHUMANIZATION: One group denies the humanity of the other group. Members of it are equated with animals, vermin, insects or diseases. Dehumanization overcomes the normal human revulsion against murder. At this stage, hate propaganda in print and on hate radios is used to vilify the victim group. The majority group is taught to regard the other group as less than human, and even alien to their society. They are indoctrinated to believe that "We are better off without them." The powerless group can become so depersonalized that they are actually given numbers rather than names, as Jews were in the death camps. They are equated with filth, impurity, and immorality. Hate speech fills the propaganda of official radio, newspapers, and speeches.
Israel has refused to accept the International community pressure to reverse this stage, but, backing of the US made Israel strong enough to resist any pressure from UN and other International Organizations.
以色列拒绝接受国际社会扭转这一局面的压力,但美国的支持使以色列足够强大,能够抵抗来自联合国和其他国际组织的任何压力。
5. ORGANIZATION: Genocide is always organized, usually by the state, often using militias to provide deniability of state responsibility. (An example is the Sudanese government's support and arming of the Janjaweed in Darfur.) Sometimes organization is informal (Hindu mobs led by local RSS militants during Indian partition) or decentralized (jihadist terrorist groups.) Special army units or militias are often trained and armed. Arms are purchased by states and militias, often in violation of UN Arms Embargos, to facilitate acts of genocide. States organize secret police to spy on, arrest, torture, and murder people suspected of opposition to political leaders. Special training is given to murderous militias and special army killing units.
Israeli government is hijacked by an extremist political party and this group is engaged in genocide of Palestinians. Israeli Defence Force (IDF) is implementing the Genocide with full political backing of Government of Prime Minister Netanyahu.
以色列政府被一个极端主义政党劫持,该组织正在对巴勒斯坦人进行种族灭绝。以色列国防军在内塔尼亚胡总理政府的全力政治支持下实施种族灭绝。
6. POLARIZATION: Extremists drive the groups apart. Hate groups broadcast polarizing propaganda. Motivations for targeting a group are indoctrinated through mass media. Laws may forbid intermarriage or social interaction. Extremist terrorism targets moderates, intimidating and silencing the center. Moderates from the perpetrators' own group are most able to stop genocide, so are the first to be arrested and killed. Leaders in targeted groups are the next to be arrested and murdered. The dominant group passes emergency laws or decrees that grants them total power over the targeted group. The laws erode fundamental civil rights and liberties. Targeted groups are disarmed to make them incapable of self-defence, and to ensure that the dominant group has total control.
Israel has been using Media spreading fake news, fabricated stories and distorted image of Palestine and making propaganda against Palestine. 以色列一直在利用媒体传播假新闻、捏造故事和歪曲巴勒斯坦形象,并对巴勒斯坦进行宣传。
7. PREPARATION: Plans are made for genocidal killings. National or perpetrator group leaders plan the "Final Solution" to the Jewish, Armenian, Tutsi or other targeted group "question." They often use euphemisms to cloak their intentions, such as referring to their goals as "ethnic cleansing," "purification," or "counter-terrorism." They build armies, buy weapons and train their troops and militias. They indoctrinate the populace with fear of the victim group. Leaders often claim that "if we don't kill them, they will kill us," disguising genocide as self-defence. Acts of genocide are disguised as counter-insurgency if there is an ongoing armed conflict or civil war. There is a sudden increase in inflammatory rhetoric and hate propaganda with the objective of creating fear of the other group. Political processes such as peace accords that threaten the total dominance of the genocidal group or upcoming elections that may cost them their grip on total power may actually trigger genocide.
Israel has been using one or other excuse to execute genocide of Palestinians. 以色列一直在利用这样或那样的借口对巴勒斯坦人实施种族灭绝。
8. PERSECUTION: Victims are identified and separated out because of their ethnic or religious identity. Death lists are drawn up. In state sponsored genocide, members of victim groups may be forced to wear identifying symbols. Their property is often expropriated. Sometimes they are even segregated into ghettoes, deported into concentration camps, or confined to a famine-struck region and starved. They are deliberately deprived of resources such as water or food in order to slowly destroy them. Programs are implemented to prevent procreation through forced sterilization or abortions. Children are forcibly taken from their parents. The victim group's basic human rights become systematically abused through extrajudicial killings, torture and forced displacement. Genocidal massacres begin. They are acts of genocide because they intentionally destroy part of a group. The perpetrators watch for whether such massacres meet any international reaction. If not, they realize that that the international community will again be bystanders and permit another genocide.
Israel has systematically pushed them out of their home land and concentrated them in two pockets: West Bank and Gaza Strip. 以色列有计划地将他们赶出家园,并将他们集中在两个地区:西岸和加沙地带。
9. EXTERMINATION begins, and quickly becomes the mass killing legally called "genocide." It is "extermination" to the killers because they do not believe their victims to be fully human. When it is sponsored by the state, the armed forces often work with militias to do the killing. Sometimes the genocide results in revenge killings by groups against each other, creating the downward whirlpool-like cycle of bilateral genocide (as in Burundi). Acts of genocide demonstrate how dehumanized the victims have become. Already dead bodies are dismembered; rape is used as a tool of war to genetically alter and eradicate the other group. Destruction of cultural and religious property is employed to annihilate the group's existence from history. The era of "total war" began in World War II. Firebombing did not differentiate civilians from non-combatants. The civil wars that broke out after the end of the Cold War have also not differentiated civilians and combatants. They result in widespread war crimes. Mass rapes of women and girls have become a characteristic of all modern genocides. All men of fighting age are murdered in some genocides. In total genocides all the members of the targeted group are exterminated.
During the last several years, Israel has been killing them is huge numbers regularly. 在过去的几年里,以色列经常杀害他们,数量巨大。
10. DENIAL is the final stage that lasts throughout and always follows genocide. It is among the surest indicators of further genocidal massacres. The perpetrators of genocide dig up the mass graves, burn the bodies, try to cover up the evidence and intimidate the witnesses. They deny that they committed any crimes, and often blame what happened on the victims. They block investigations of the crimes, and continue to govern until driven from power by force, when they flee into exile. There they remain with impunity, like Pol Pot or Idi Amin, unless they are captured and a tribunal is established to try them.
The best response to denial is punishment by an international tribunal or national courts. There the evidence can be heard, and the perpetrators punished. Tribunals like the Yugoslav, Rwanda or Sierra Leone Tribunals, the tribunal to try the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, or the International Criminal Court may not deter the worst genocidal killers. But with the political will to arrest and prosecute them, some may be brought to justice. When possible, local proceedings should provide forums for hearings of the evidence against perpetrators who were not the main leaders and planners of a genocide, with opportunities for restitution and reconciliation. The Rwandan gaçaça trials are one example. Justice should be accompanied by education in schools and the media about the facts of a genocide, the suffering it caused its victims, the motivations of its perpetrators, and the need for restoration of the rights of its victims.
Israel has reached this stage and engaged in genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. It is a perfect case of Genocide. 以色列已经到了这个阶段,并在加沙对巴勒斯坦人进行种族灭绝。这是种族灭绝的完美案例。
South Africa has moved a case of Genocide in Gaza by Zionist state of Israel to the International case of Justice. It is expected that the war criminals will be trail fairly and must face justice. It is appealed to entire human kind to stand with the oppressed people of Palestine and condemn aggressor Israel. It is time for ICJ to make justice and punish the responsible of this genocide and halt on going genocide. It will definitely have positive impact in averting any future genocide ant where in the world.

Acute Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is the treatment of physical problems caused by accidents, illness and ageing. Treatment is mainly focused on physical problems that affect the muscles, bones, heart, circulation and lungs.
Physiotherapy helps to alleviate pain, restore normal movement and function and return the body to its natural balanced state without the use of medication or drugs. Central to this is the patient taking an active role in realising the social, cultural and psychological factors that will help them to be as independent and active as possible.
Physios play a large role in rehabilitating people after illness or accidents. Health education, aimed at preventing disease and injury, is also an important part of their work. The following are just some of the departments our Physiotherapists work in and the treatments they carry out

Public video of affair of Rasputin,Tsarina,daughters get pregnant
The smallest video camera in the early 1910s still was large enough to require holding in both hands and it had a limited amount of footage. There is no sound in these cameras. The video quality is very poor--think WW1 footage because that's exactly one of the famous things shot on these sorts of cameras. And that's to say nothing about the more common cameras that required the cameraman to turn a crank. You can't exactly hide that one.
So you have a few minutes of a sicko shooting an early porn film. Except it can't be made public, because the Russian Empire and every other country in this era doesn't tolerate any explicit sexual material. It's no more legal than prostitution. Circulate it underground and it's considered nothing but a salacious hoax. "Nice movie set you guys made, and nice actors you found, enjoy prison." So existence of a video would have zilch to do with it.

Antioch Abouna: True Hope
People often assume that all Christians understand the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in much the same way. This is true if you only take Roman Catholic and Protestant views into account.
Antioch Abouna: True Hope: "what is this fundamental commonality between most non-Orthodox traditions and where does Orthodoxy differ? With Pascha (Easter) approaching in the Orthodox Church it is crucial that we acquaint ourselves with these issues because they touch upon the whole meaning of the gospel, its preaching and celebration."

I'm just getting started with quantum chemistry using some simple test problems. I have a few of the software packages installed (ASE, Psi4, GPAW etc) and everything is working - no issues with the software itself - but there is a bewildering variety of methods, from semi-empirical (PM7) to DFT (B3LYP) to coupled cluster (CCSD(T)); plus options for each such as basis functions, and nothing in the documentation gives any specific advice on what to use when.
Is there concrete guidance on which method is appropriate for which type of problems?
What I'm mostly interested is biological systems: molecules in water at room temperature, and both covalent and non-covalent interactions; most of the atoms are CHNOSP. An example would be taking a system of a few hundred atoms and optimizing the coordinates (either locally or trying to find the global minimum). A slightly more ambitious project would be to optimize the coordinates a few hundred atoms within a much larger system of thousands of atoms (where the other atoms have partial charges and produce electrostatic forces, but are otherwise fixed).
$\begingroup$The simulation of chemical systems is literally the subject of a whole field inside chemistry, so taking an introductory course would be much more helpful (and you could start asking actual questions). Also the size of your system and resources automatically exclude most if not all quantum chemistry methods.$\endgroup$
$\begingroup$A large part of computational chemistry is about benchmarking methods. I.e. testing how good different methods/basis sets are for a problem. If you have a specific problem in mind try searching the literature for it and check what methods were already tested/used. The best practical method for a problem is hard to predict and most of the time determined empirically. People simply test a bunch of methods and compare it to known results. Another "filter" is also what you can actually do with your hardware. The theoretically best method is often simply not feasible especially for large systems.$\endgroup$

It seems that semiempirical methods (of which PM6-D3H4 in MOPAC is probably most accurate for the types of systems encountered in biology) are the only methods able to handle structure optimization of a whole protein (or whole domain of a larger protein). DFT can handle an order of magnitude fewer atoms, and MP2 or CCSD(T) are mainly used for creating benchmark data sets to test the accuracy of methods, such as S66.

A study published this week in PLOS Medicine suggests that epigenetic modification of the HAND2 gene plays a critical role in the development of endometrial cancer. HAND2 is active in the healthy endometrium (the tissue lining the uterus) where it antagonizes the growth-inducing effects of estrogen. By contrast, in more than 90% of endometrial cancers, the gene has undergone hypermethylation, an epigenetic modification that doesn't change its DNA sequence but renders it inactive.
Martin Widschwendter from the University College London Women's Cancer Department and colleagues, the authors of the work, systematically compared methylation patterns in endometrial cancers and normal endometrium. Using a new bioinformatics tool, they identified HAND2 as a differential methylation hotspot in endometrial cancer. By comparing with other already known factors, HAND2 methylation is by far the most common molecular alteration in endometrial cancer.
The researchers found that HAND2 methylation is already increased in premalignant endometrial lesions (cancer-prone, abnormal-looking tissue) compared to normal endometrium, and that a high level of methylation predicted a poor response to progesterone treatment (which stops the growth of some pre-cancerous endometrial lesions).
Moreover, analysis of HAND2 methylation in endometrial secretions collected from women with postmenopausal bleeding (which can be a symptom of endometrial cancer) accurately identified individuals with early stage cancer. Finally, mice in which the Hand2 gene was specifically deleted in the endometrium developed precancerous endometrial lesions with age. Widschwendter, who led the study, said: "Our work provides clear evidence that it is not only genetic alterations which trigger and lead to cancer but that epigenetic alteration can also be the initiating step." Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer, and its incidence is continuing to rise in an older and more obese population. The authors suggest that HAND2 methylation "could be applied to triage women who present with postmenopausal bleeding (currently ~90% of women who present with this symptom and are cancer-free must undergo endometrial biopsy for a definitive diagnosis) and could be further employed as a test to early detect or even predict the risk for endometrial cancer and response to preventative treatment".

What is a Japanese scalp treatment?
Introduction
Japanese scalp treatment is a popular hair care practice that has been around for centuries. The treatment is based on the belief that healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. In Japan, scalp care is a crucial part of hair care, and it is followed as a regular routine by many people. The treatment involves using various techniques, products, and massage to improve the health of the scalp and promote healthy hair growth.
Understanding the Scalp
The scalp is the skin on the head that covers the skull. It is rich in blood vessels and nerve endings and contains hair follicles that produce hair. The scalp is also prone to various conditions such as dandruff, dryness, and itchiness. These conditions can affect the overall health of the hair and cause it to become weak, brittle, and prone to breakage.
The Benefits of Japanese Scalp Treatment
Japanese scalp treatment has numerous benefits for both the scalp and hair. The treatment helps to improve blood circulation to the scalp, which promotes healthy hair growth. It also helps to reduce dandruff, dryness, and itchiness of the scalp. The treatment also helps to remove excess oil and dirt from the scalp, which can clog hair follicles and lead to hair loss.
Products used in Japanese Scalp Treatment
Various products are used in Japanese scalp treatment to promote healthy hair growth. Some of these products include natural oils such as camellia oil, jojoba oil, and coconut oil. Other products include shampoos, conditioners, and serums that are specially formulated for the scalp.
Techniques used in Japanese Scalp Treatment
Japanese scalp treatment involves various techniques such as massage, acupressure, and stretching. These techniques help to stimulate blood flow to the scalp and promote relaxation. Massage also helps to remove dead skin cells and excess oil from the scalp, which can clog hair follicles.
The Role of Acupressure in Japanese Scalp Treatment
Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing technique that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body. In Japanese scalp treatment, acupressure is used to stimulate blood flow to the scalp and promote healthy hair growth. The pressure points on the scalp are also believed to have a calming effect on the mind and body.
The Role of Stretching in Japanese Scalp Treatment
Stretching is another technique used in Japanese scalp treatment. It involves stretching the scalp gently to improve blood flow and promote relaxation. This technique also helps to remove tension from the scalp, which can lead to hair loss.
The Importance of Regular Scalp Care
Regular scalp care is essential for maintaining healthy hair. Japanese scalp treatment is a great way to improve the health of your scalp and promote healthy hair growth. It is recommended to perform this treatment at least once a week for best results.
Who Can Benefit from Japanese Scalp Treatment?
Anyone can benefit from Japanese scalp treatment, regardless of their hair type or texture. The treatment is especially beneficial for those who suffer from dandruff, dryness, or itchiness of the scalp. It is also great for those who want to promote healthy hair growth and prevent hair loss.
Conclusion
Japanese scalp treatment is a holistic approach to hair care that focuses on promoting healthy hair growth by improving the health of the scalp. The treatment involves various techniques, products, and massage that help to improve blood flow, reduce dandruff, and promote relaxation. Regular scalp care is essential for maintaining healthy hair, and Japanese scalp treatment is a great way to achieve this.
Japanese head spas offer a range of treatments, but typically involve a gentle steaming of the scalp using a micro-mist, followed by a scalp massage that exfoliates the skin. The treatment also includes the application of essential oils to pressure points to improve blood flow.
What happens during a scalp treatment?
A scalp treatment includes removing dead skin through exfoliation and leaving fresh, healthy skin. Additionally, a leave-in conditioner is applied to moisturize and lubricate the scalp, promoting healthy hair growth.
What are the benefits of Japanese head spa?
A head spa treatment that includes a gentle exfoliation can remove dead skin cells, sebum, and residue like dry shampoo, which can improve the health of the scalp. This Japanese scalp treatment has numerous benefits for overall scalp health.
How long does Japanese hair treatment last?
Japanese hair straightening, also called thermal reconditioning, is a hair treatment that results in smooth and straight hair for up to 6 months or even longer.
Is it worth doing a scalp detox?
A scalp detox can provide numerous benefits, the most significant being the removal of product buildup, dead skin cells, and dirt and oil from the scalp. Additionally, it can lead to shinier and softer hair, according to Fitzgerald.
What not to do after scalp treatment?
Avoid washing your hair too often after a salon treatment as it can harm your hair and strip it of essential oils and proteins. It is recommended to wash your hair only three times a week and apply oil to your hair regularly before washing to alleviate scalp dryness.
How to Perform Japanese Scalp Treatment at Home
Japanese scalp treatment can be performed at home with a few simple steps. First, choose a natural oil that is suitable for your scalp and hair type. Apply the oil to your scalp and massage it gently in circular motions for 5-10 minutes. Next, apply a small amount of conditioner to your scalp and massage it in using acupressure techniques. Finally, rinse off the oil and conditioner with lukewarm water.
Other Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Scalp
In addition to Japanese scalp treatment, there are other tips that can help you maintain a healthy scalp. These include avoiding harsh hair products that can strip your hair of its natural oils, avoiding tight hairstyles that pull on the scalp, and protecting your hair from the sun and environmental pollutants.
Consult with a Professional
If you have any concerns about the health of your scalp or hair, it is always a good idea to consult with a professional. A dermatologist or trichologist can help you identify any underlying conditions that may be affecting your scalp or hair and recommend appropriate treatments.
Final Thoughts
Japanese scalp treatment is an ancient practice that has numerous benefits for both the scalp and hair. By incorporating this treatment into your regular hair care routine, you can improve the health of your scalp, promote healthy hair growth, and prevent hair loss. With regular care, you can enjoy healthy, beautiful hair for years to come.

Bronze Age Board Game Discovered Source: Archeologist Walter Crist Game On Chiseled in Stone A fascinating archeological discovery. A dot pattern chiseled into stone in a rock shelter in Azerbaijan. Archeologist Walter Crist, who discovered it, says it shows that an ancient Near Eastern game called 58 holes or Hounds and Jackals, spread to a population of herders in Azerbaijan. That region is 1000 to 2000 kilometers away. Roll of the Dice Hounds and Jackals was thought to exist only in Egypt, Mesopotamia and other Near Eastern regions during the Bronze Age. Dr. Crist, of the American Museum of Natural History in NYC, says the Azerbaijan herders must have had contact with the Near Eastern world more than 1200 miles away. The archeologist says ancient games often passed across cultures. In this case, players are thought to have rolled the dice to move pebbles and get to the top first. 4000 years ago, someone created a new piece of innovation - a game and a roll of t

4. Learning from and with
the community
During the first three
years of their career, beginning teachers need to gain knowledge of their
students and the school context and of how to design curriculum and instruction
that is responsive to both. More and more, gaining such knowledge requires
beginning teachers to develop connections to the communities in which
their students live. Students' lives outside of school are inextricably
intertwined with their lives within schools. Teachers who become familiar
with the communities in which students' live and learn, and who
develop strong relationships with people who live and work with young
people in those communities, can do a better job of teaching. Research
demonstrates the effectiveness of curricular approaches that use the community
as a resource for learning and that enable young people to become resources
for their communities.
While some communities
face severe challenges associated with poverty, all communities have organizations
and individuals with capacities that can be mobilized to support children's
success in school and beyond. Community-based organizations in many of
our most challenged communities have made significant contributions to
young people's learning and development. Compared to many typical
young people in the United States, those with high levels of participation
in community-based organizations were 26% more likely to be recognized
for good grades, more than twice as likely to view themselves as worthy
persons and more than two-and-one-half times more likely to express a
sense of civic responsibility and a desire to give back to their communities.
Beginning teachers can
structure their study groups around learning about and with the community.
The tools listed below will help you and your colleagues work with the
community to enrich your teaching and your students' learning:

Technology in elections became a hot-button issue in the 2020 presidential race, and with the explosion of artificial intelligence in recent years, it again will permeate the political landscape in this year's contest.
For Milos Manic, Ph.D., director of Virginia Commonwealth University's Cybersecurity Center, the impact of AI on undecided voters is of particular concern.
"Will the undecided portion of the electorate be targeted in a certain way? Will they be fed carefully chosen information and specific misinterpreted information?" he asked.
VCU News asked Manic for insights into the intersection of AI, elections and society overall.
What are key vulnerabilities we face in terms of election integrity?
Social media can very quickly and easily give an illusion of group consensus – people thinking the same way – while sometimes 90% of those instances may not be the case. Human psyche, human psychology, human vulnerabilities – this is where the battles are being waged now.
Psychological warfare existed for hundreds of years. In the world wars, it might have been a person that was given a pamphlet to read to a whole village. It might have been pamphlets that were thrown out of planes. Now it's psychological warfare through technology. Humans have so-called emotional triggers, something that they react to. Humans have cognitive biases.
Are there ways we could address such shortcomings quickly even if imperfectly?
We could look at four areas. The first is policy. The second is safe and secure AI. The third is user awareness. And the fourth is looking across borders and formingalliances.
In May, Milos Manic, Ph.D., served on the U.S. delegation to the European Union on cybersecurity and AI in Brussels. (Courtesy photo)
In policy, the whole world came late into the AI game. Now a number of organizations –governmental and nongovernmental, and nonprofit – are trying to deal with policy, governance and regulatory frameworks and so on.
With current resources, algorithms or knowledge, there's very little we cannot do given enough time. So the question is, are we developing this in the right way for the right reasons?
Six or seven years ago, we looked at different algorithms to solve some cybersecurity problems, and we showed that for almost any kind of problem, we can find at least three algorithms that will solve it correctly. The question is, will that solution hold when you put it in production? Are we looking at transformations that will matter in the future as they matter today?
What about those other three areas?
For having a safe and secure AI, a key question is: Can we focus on ethical, unbiased, trustworthy developers?
The next step is the users – the public awareness and understanding. What are we posting? What are we sharing, or what are we making available to others? And how do we know whom we are making it available to? Facebook users may say, "I know who I'm sharing with." No, you don't. You think you do. But how do you know that your friend was not compromised and became someone else?
And then the next step is going beyond borders. In the cyberworld, there's something called the Five Eyes [Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States] forming an intelligence alliance. Enemies are now based off of computers or networks that might be continents away. So if there's no alliance to communicate across, it will be very easy for nefarious actors to invade.
Are you doing work that intersects strongly with election integrity or political disinformation?
The key here becomes real-time AI fraud detection. AI is very powerful when you have enough resources or computer resources. There's almost nothing we cannot do if you have enough time and data. But the question is, can you do it in real time?
VCU has been the lead of the statewide initiative CCAC — the Commonwealth Center for Advanced Computing. The centerpiece of our center is the IBM z16 machine. It is one of those supercomputers based on on-chip AI, specifically designed for real-time AI for fraud detection. There's so many capable machines these days in industry and academia, and so many algorithms are so powerful. But the question is, can you do it real time? VCU is the lead and the steward of this state resource.
As AI grows in its ability to create comprehensive texts and realistic images, how would you assess its potential to threaten (or protect) the political or electoral process?
Again, the key is, can you use AI in real time to achieve something? Because all of these attacks or fraud — and the same thing with disinformation if you allow it — happen in real time. If you allow it enough time, coming back with a response a week later almost doesn't matter, because that opinion already influenced people. It's almost the same as not reacting at all. It's too late to change people's minds.
One thing that worries me is these machines could become smart enough to tailor their humanlike responses to a user. So they will have a different way of presenting the same information to me and a different way of presenting it to my daughter, for example, who is way younger, because her perception of what's real will be very different than my perception. So the ability of a machine to learn and adjust in real time is what's scary.
We need to focus on human psyches, human vulnerabilities. What are we susceptible to? It's not engineering and computer science alone anymore. It's human factors, psych experts and so on.
Even beyond elections, what keeps you up at night related to AI at the moment – and what helps you sleep more easily?
It's a moving target. The problem is that the moment the nefarious actors figure out what we can detect, they will work [to make deep fakes] even better.
Some say we need to be developing better tools. Then some others say, well, who guards the guard? Who will vouch for the vetting tool that it has not been compromised? But this has been the case in the cyberworld forever. It's cat and mouse. So I have zero doubt that this will not continue. But I also have zero doubt that the good actors will continue not sleeping at night.
Real-time detection is going to be the key for years to come – developing faster and faster solutions that will, within nanoseconds, be able to detect deep fakes and provide a vetting process that will be tied to whatever tools we are using. If we are using a browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari — we will have tools that will real-time flag it in some way.
Humans are vulnerable, and this is what keeps me awake. How do we keep up with these changes and, in an unbiased way, make a decision? We are taking a lot of practices from the cyberworld into AI.
I'm more worried about humans making a decision at the last moment because something happened. I think this is where the biggest fight is today. They will change their opinion based on something that they've seen, heard or been told and so on. So human vulnerability, human psyche – that's where the cyberwars will continue to be. But I'm worried less about the technical side. It's the humans where it all starts and ends with.

SNR cucm 9.1 Remote destination and IP phone
Hi, I have tried to implement SNR in our telephony network but there is some troubles. I've configured RD and RD profile, attached them to my extension but when I try to call my extension my deskphone starts to ringing after few seconds I hear that dial tone have changed and my cell phone starts to ring. But when cell phone starts to ring, my deskphone is not ringing. I only see that the line button light is red. Even when my extension is in hunt group the other phones cease to ring when the RD is dialed.
Am I missing something? In that case this SNR works almost like NOAN forwarding. Also I haven't installed mobilty server yet, is it necessary?
SNR cucm 9.1 Remote destination and IP phone
Sorry, found an answer in another discussion. It seems that my PBX send to CUCM message that "connected" instead of "ringing" via ISDN. That's why I can hear PBX's dial-tone, while cucm calls cell-phone.
SNR cucm 9.1 Remote destination and IP phone
Ilya,
Mobility server is not necessary. The mobility feature set used to require a separate server but is now built into the CUCM application.
Based on your description, you say that the IP phone extension shows as remote in use (that is what the "red light" means) while your mobile phone is ringing. That sounds like the expected behavior when the call to a remote destination has been successfully anchored, such as when the mobile phone is answered. I'd be interested in knowing whether you can pick the call up at the deskphone after hanging up the mobile phone (of course, you would need to answer on the mobile phone first).
If you wanted the deskphone and mobile phone to ring simultaneously, you will need to modify the timer to wait before ringing out the remote destination. Set it to 0 ms.
You could have a misconfiguration in there. Provisioning the mobility functionality is a little cumbersome. I always felt like there were too many steps. So, it is easy to miss something the first couple of times you configure it. I also recommend reviewing the Interactions/Restrictions for this feature in the Features and Services guide

The purpose of the article is to review the available options for fertility preservation in patients with breast and ovarian cancer, and the special issues faced by BRCA mutation carriers.
Recent findings
Future fertility is an important consideration for many young patients with cancer. There are both experimental and standard available strategies for patients with breast and ovarian cancer to preserve fertility, and each has potential advantages and disadvantages.
Summary
Embryo cryopreservation is widely available with a highly successful track record. Improvements in laboratory techniques have led to oocyte cryopreservation recently being recategorized as nonexperimental. Conservative gynecologic surgery is a standard consideration for patients with stage I ovarian cancer who desire future fertility. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation as well as ovarian suppression with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogs during chemotherapy are considered experimental methods at this time, although recent data suggest both safety and efficacy for the use of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogs in women receiving (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. Special issues should be considered for women with BRCA mutations because of the need to undergo preventive surgery at young age. Multidisciplinary teams and well functioning relationships between the oncology and reproductive units are crucial to manage the fertility issues of young women with cancer.

10 things NOT to do when Celebrating Gay Pride
10 Things NOT to do When Celebrating Gay Pride
For the LGBTQ community worldwide, Pride means celebration, support, protest, and togetherness.
It is a powerful celebration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people.
We're here to help you celebrate and support equality and diversity during Pride. Just follow our list of 10 things NOT to do when celebrating Gay Pride!
1.Don't overdo it
Pride may be all about celebration, but it's important to know your limits. If you're drinking or taking drugs, make sure you know what you're taking, where you got it, and know what your limits are. You don't want to end up feeling sick or anxious in the middle of a big crowd.
2.Don't have unprotected sex
Especially when you're out in a celebration mode all day, you might be more uninhibited than otherwise. We all know the feeling of getting swept away in the heat of the moment. Partying, drinking, and doing drugs can impair your judgment. But don't let hedonism and passion get the better of you!
Always be responsible to yourself and others and have safe sex. This includes being aware of what constitutes safe sex. Wearing two condoms or "double bagging it" is not a thing! It actually works counterproductively, since it increases the chances of the condoms ripping.
3. Don't force yourself on others
No matter how drunk or happy you are, never force yourself on others. If someone doesn't feel comfortable being intimate with you, or even talking to you, just walk away. Leave them alone. Everyone has a right to enjoy Pride in their own way, without being harassed.
4. Don't feel pressure to do something you don't want to do
Stand up to peer pressure. If people are pressuring you into doing something you don't feel like doing, be strong and stand up for yourself. You're better off celebrating Pride on your own terms than following a group and feeling uncomfortable.
5.Don't drink and drive
Never get behind the wheel if you've been drinking or taking other substances. Even if you live nearby or you don't feel like you're under the influence. Just leave your car and pick it up the next day. Your safety and the safety of others comes first.
6.Don't lose sight of your friends
Pride can be a crowded, hectic day. It's a good idea to stick with your group of friends so that you can look out for each other. Be with people you trust, and if you do split up, always arrange for a meeting point, or keep in touch through messages to let each other know that you're ok.
7.Don't get caught up in drama
Let's be honest, there will be a lot of drunk people, so there will inevitably be a lot of drama! But don't let that ruin your fun. Don't let yourself get sucked into other people's drama. If you realize they're trying to drag you into it, just don't engage and walk away.
8. Don't forget to hydrate and eat
It's going to be a long day with a lot of walking and dancing. You probably won't go easy on the drinks, either. You'll need fuel to make it through all this in one piece! Always carry a water bottle with you to stay hydrated. And remember to eat enough so you'll have energy to last until the early hours.
9.Don't disrespect others
Pride is a celebration of diversity. It offers a safe space for LGBTQ people to stand together and fight for equality and human rights. If you have trouble accepting this, stay at home. No matter how different you are, respect others. Don't bring your negativity to Pride. Pride is a positive celebration. There are also many heteros and minors attending pride parades. Don't make the mistake of assuming people's sexuality or age.
10.Don't fall into the canal!
Anyone who has ever experienced Amsterdam Canal Pride will know what we're talking about! No matter how crazy things get on your boat in the beautiful Amsterdam canals, find something (or someone!) to grab hold of so you don't fall into the canal! Also remember to never climb any of the houseboats. Those are people's actual domiciles. They live there. Respect their roofs and verandas.
Pride is a special day. It's not just a celebration, but also a protest against inequality, and a space for the LGBTQ community to stand together. If you stick to these 10 tips, you're bound to have a fantastic Gay Pride celebration!
