In urban areas, people often have to stand or move in close proximity to others. The egocentric distance to stimuli is a powerful determinant of defensive behavior in animals. Yet, little is known about how spatial proximity to others alters defensive responses in humans. We hypothesized that the valence of social cues scales with egocentric distance, such that proximal social stimuli have more positive or negative valence than distal stimuli. This would predict enhanced defensive responses to proximal threat and reduced defensive responses to proximal reward. We tested this hypothesis across four experiments using 3-D virtual reality simulations. Results from Experiment 1 confirmed that proximal social stimuli facilitate defensive responses, as indexed by fear-potentiated startle, relative to distal stimuli. Experiment 2 revealed that interpersonal defensive boundaries flexibly increase with aversive learning. Experiment 3 examined whether spatial proximity enhances memory for aversive ...

We demonstrate a compact transform spectrometer based on measuring the periodicity of Talbot self-images. The system has no moving parts; it contains only a tilted absorption grating that is imaged onto a CCD camera. The linear architecture of the system makes it possible to use this design in imaging arrays of spectrometers. Unlike other transform spectrometers, its resolution is independent of wavelength.. © 2001 Optical Society of America. Full Article , PDF Article ...

My friend Lauren is learning to be a hypnotist. Not to do parlor tricks but to help people: manage pain, quit smoking, live with less stress and more peace.. She taught my mission group a simple and versatile exercise to use whenever we feel scared, dissed, or seriously angry. Your defensive reptilian brain is jerked into high gear, and you want to fight or run away (or hang up or slam the door).. Heres what to do instead. Pause, take a deep breath. Breathe in whatever you most need at that moment: calm or peace or strength or patience. Or light. Or compassion.. Breathe out everything you cant control. One breath at a time. Breathe out the other persons anger, lies, prejudice, disrespect, ignorance … whatever has triggered your defenses. Name silently what you cant control and let it go, one breath at a time.. As you let go of your need for ego safety, acceptance, or control youll feel yourself growing calmer. Your ability to think instantly improves. A flow of energy - and maybe insight ...

There are a variety of reasons children may have an adverse reaction to items in their environment. Those with especially sensitive skin may find it even more difficult to interact with the world around them. Some of the most common issues sensory processing issues, allergies, and eczema.. Sensory Processing Disorders. There are many different types of sensory processing disorders. They can involve any of the senses, including vision, hearing, taste, and touch. Children with a sensory processing disorder related to their sense of touch may find the way things feel to be extremely aversive. When this happens, it is called tactile defensiveness.. Children with tactile defensiveness will often avoid touching specific materials and if forced to do so may become fearful. Situations which can trigger this include textured materials, specific clothing textures, seams on socks, tags on shirts, the feeling of grass or sand, vibrating toys, and even wind blowing on their skin.. Exposing a child to the ...

The survival of all living beings is dependent on their ability to detect and adapt to environmental changes. Especially in the face of threat, the modus operandi needs to be adjusted in order to minimise potential harm and increase the likelihood of survival. Animals not only adapt their physiology, but also their behaviour. A large body of evidence shows that amygdala is a region of the brain crucially involved in innate and learned defensive behaviours. Its role in encoding passive defensive reactions elicited by classical fear conditioning has been thoroughly studied both on molecular and circuit levels. However, not much is known about amygdala circuits involved in active defense, such as flight ...

In her youth Dusty was very territorial; she would defend what she knew to be hers with the speed and dexterity enjoyed mainly by the young. How intense her defense depended greatly on the importance of what was at stake: her food, her water, her favorite spot to sleep were at the very top of her list. Her territory, the boundaries of what she knew to be her world, always came behind immediate needs. Birds outside the windows, stray animals, even the postman were concern enough to illicit a response, but rarely enough to trigger a defensive reaction. Shed become excited, and vocal, but rarely physical. As long as she felt safe, shed remain alert but not terribly reactive; if any of those intrusions ventured into the safety of her world--coming through the front door--she would react with immediate defensive strategies, depending on the size of the threat. Sometimes that meant the baring of claws and teeth, sometimes that meant hiding under the bed ...

We know that in the brain mostly neurons and some astrocytes get infected with VSV. Thus, there has to be communication amongst different cells in the CNS in order for microglia to come to infected cells and stop the virus from infecting more cells. We hypothesized that interferons could be the message used for communication, says Dr. Chintan Chhatbar.. Thus, in order to better understand the intercellular communication that instructs microglia to multiply and migrate to infected cells, TWINCORE scientists studied the role of interferon as a message. Interferon is produced by the cells which detect the virus during viral attack and by this way inform other cells. All the cells which get this message initiate a defensive reaction, which stops virus infection from spreading further.. We switched off the receivers that can recognize the interferon message, the interferon receptors of microglial cells, astrocytes or neurons one by one so that they could no longer receive the message delivered via ...

That guys defensive reaction to the arsenalist label is exactly what Im after.. Trying to respect and reason with mass collectors within the 35 percent of gun-owning households has gotten us absolutely nowhere. Nowhere. Thats because arsenalists and tactical fetishists do not respect the rest of us. And the gun hustler industry thrives on this disrespect. This isnt about defense; its about dominance. And people like your reader have done absolutely nothing to clean up the culture they perpetuate.. I grew up in a house with 5 hunting rifles and some sort semi-automatic weapon (a mini 14, I believe) mounted on the wall above my dads chair. [JF note: This is the time to point out that I got the old Marksmanship merit badge as a Boy Scout, now called something else, and that my father was part of the local auxiliary-police force and carried a pistol with him when he went on nighttime house calls as a local doctor.]. We had a handgun stored somewhere. Not quite an arsenal, but a collection. ...

If this is true it is potentially a Nobel-winning discovery. BBC News: Memory transplant achieved in snails A team successfully transplanted memories by transferring a form of genetic information called RNA from one snail into another. The snails were trained to develop a defensive reaction. When the RNA was inserted into snails that had not undergone this process, they behaved just as if they had been sensitised.

Allergies are the undesired and sometimes violent defensive reactions of the human (or animal) immune system to substances in the environment (allergens).

Teens entering residential care are often impulsive, angry, guarded and anxious. Of course when they arrive they are now living among other teens with similar feelings and at varying stages of development. Verbalizing their fears in healthy ways is often beyond their ability for at least a few weeks. Any questions regarding their behaviors early on in treatment seems to only intensify feelings of guilt and shame and initiate defensiveness. It often feels like any attempts at therapeutic interventions at this stage will be inadequate and even counterproductive. Earlier on, teens tend to be highly resistant to developing relationships with staff and peers and are hyper vigilant in blocking any type of approach.. The only way to break through the tough veneer is to demonstrate a deep level of integrity. If properly demonstrated, integrity is able to exhibit reliability and honesty. The very presence of staff creates an impression that the main focus is on helping the teen, not on benefitting the ...

So far, so good. But how would I become practised in this? I learned from my interest in brain-friendly coaching that when I am engaged in a developmental discussion, a focus on what needs to be fixed, and overcoming weaknesses and gaps that the discussion only cements their defensiveness and potential to discount any benefit of the coaching. While it may invoke compliance-oriented behaviour, any positive effect of such activities or desire for improvement will probably be short lived.. John and Ian talk about the importance of encouraging clients to dream of the possibilities in their life and work, to reflect on their core values, their passion, and their desired legacy. I appreciate this more by knowing that it works so consistently well because it arouses the Positive Emotional Attractor. Also, the experience of compassion in the relationship with a coach - i.e. empathy or understanding the feelings of others; caring for the other person; and willingness to act in response to the ...

I have so much to be thankful for these days. Even in the midst of all that is going on with me health-wise, there is never a moment that I am not thankful for all that I have. On two separate occasions now, my neurologist as taken the time to ask me how I am doing mentally. Its an odd moment when a doctor gets quiet and asks you if you ever think about harming yourself, if you are ready to give up. A moment packed full of emotion - alarm, embarrassment, defensiveness, worry, confusion.. But even with all of that going on, there is a clear and very focused me that says, No, its simply not an option. Im thankful for that. Im thankful that even in my darkest moments I long for life. I long for my family and my friends. I long to live my days, my moments with the man that I love with all of my heart. These things keep me moving forward. These are the things I take rest in ...

Didnt have well being beliefs that had been far more constant with wellness recommendations, and did not pay extra attention to health details. These information recommend that becoming an information maven might have to do with sociality rather than expertise. As such, well being details mavenism may very well be a helpful indicator of prosociality. With respect towards the item regarding possessing heard about engagement in healthcare analysis, this might be an indicator of more active responding at an early stage of becoming involved in healthcare investigation. The association of SSA with having heard about healthcare investigation could possibly be a result of paying a lot more consideration to well being data, which may be triggered by decreased defensiveness to overall health data, but not necessarily a outcome of actively in search of out overall health information (ancillary analyses showed that the association remained substantial when controlling for wellness information and facts ...

Ask, What went well for you today? when a family member arrives home from school or work. Maybe the person has a hard time thinking of something positive about their day, so you can point out things you may have noticed, such as getting up on time or helping with morning dishes.. Become more mindful of the lives of family members. Put down your electronic device (see the booster on page 61) and pay attention to the little things that might otherwise go unnoticed, like a child making sure the family pet is fed and watered without being asked and then commenting on what you just saw.. Try to catch people in your family doing something right, positive, or good, and tell them what you noticed. When a correction is necessary, avoid creating defensiveness or arguments by simply stating what you observed and what you expected rather than using negative labels or blaming. For instance, if a child has been assigned to help with dinner cleanup and you see him heading out the door to meet a friend, say ...

I think Schwartz and Fedak are decent guys who despite Joshs defensiveness didnt write a good episode last night for a whole host of reasons. I appreciate them taking the time to talk about it. My only issue with their answers is Joshs comment about giving fans what they want and what they need. He always take that approach in interviews that the fans dont really know what it is they NEED and we wouldnt be satisfied with a different trajectory for Chuck and Sarah. I dont agree and its kind of an offensive thing to say to fans. He may or may not have meant to come across that way. He also talked about C/S regressing after progressing and it sounds like he is a fan of that process. I think most of the fans arent a fan of such drastic regression and they mean it, really they do. Its not simply that they dont know what it is they really want or need. Theyre right though. The fans stuck with them through Intersect 2.0 and lots of plot holes and even sighed and said ok, bring on 2 more ...

Do you know that expressing appreciation is one of the essential ingredients of a happy marriage? Thats right. According to Dr. John Gottmans research, we must express at least five positive interactions to neutralize the impact of one negative interaction. In really happy marriages, couples express 20 positives to every one negative. The mostly destructive interactions contain criticism, defensiveness, contempt or stonewalling. When we express ourselves in this way without effective repair attempts, Gottman predicts divorce with 94% accuracy. Read more. ...

However, the question that started the ruckus was totally reasonable: Why on earth should we vaccinate our newborn baby against hepatitis B virus that is contracted mostly through intravenous drug use and sexual contact? Pediatricians and family practitioners, as well as hospital nurses, run into this frequently and should be prepared for it.. Apparently, nobody could give this mom a satisfactory answer. Her objections were met with defensiveness. She felt threatened: Get the vaccines or get out of our practice. But, she won the contest - and taught a lesson to those loser doctors and their nasty nurses - by refusing her baby the vaccine. (Of course, if the kid ends up with hepatitis B, I am sure she will sue somebody.). What happened here? The mother felt pushed, and she is obviously a person who pushes back. But her providers should have been able to give a better answer than, Because! Of course, who knows what either party really said? Still, Im going to take the mothers side for the ...

Babies born prematurely are at increased risk of episodes of bacterial infection, which can lead to longer hospital stay, long-term complications, and may be fatal. This is largely because preterm babies have immature defences against infection. An important way in which the body is protected is through the friendly bacteria that normally thrive in our gut and promote its health. At birth there are few organisms in the gut and healthy babies who are nursed with their mothers quickly become colonised with their friendly bacteria. Preterm babies who are separated from their mother at birth are more likely to become colonised with bacteria in the environment of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit that may cause disease. We think that if we begin to give babies a few drops of liquid containing friendly bacteria (probiotic) daily starting soon after birth that these bacteria will multiply in the intestine, improve the general health of the intestine and reduce the chance of potentially pathogenic ...

Over the years you have built an idealized self-image that you defend as me. In this image are packed all the things you want to see as true about yourself; banished from it are all the shameful, guilty, and fear-provoking aspects that would threaten your self-confidence.. But the very aspects you try to push away return as the most insistent, demanding voices in your head. The act of banishment creates the chaos of your internal dialogue, and thus your ideal erodes even while you are doing everything to look good and feel good about yourself.. To really feel good about yourself, renounce your self-image. Immediately you will find yourself being more open, undefended, and relaxed.. Much time is spent in self-help trying to turn a bad self-image into a good one. As reasonable as that sounds, all self-images have the same pitfall: They keep reminding you of who you were, not who you are. The whole idea of I, me, and mine was erected on memories, and these memories are not really you. If you ...

We present an easy, simple, and inexpensive technique for checking the quality of the collimation of optical beams using the Lau effect combined with moiré readout. The experimental arrangement consists of a modified Lau-based interferometer in which a white-light incoherent source illuminates a set of two gratings. A collimating lens is placed between the two gratings such that the self-images of the second grating are formed. The third grating is positioned at one of the self-imaging planes forming moiré fringes. The type of the moiré fringe demonstrates the quality of collimation of the optical beam. The necessary theoretical background is presented and the results of our experimental investigation are reported. The technique can also be used for accurate determination of the focal length of a collimating lens using low-cost components.. © 2006 Optical Society of America. Full Article , PDF Article ...

Connect with others. Spending time with others can be a great stress reliever especially close friends or family who make you feel understood and safe. In person contact helps to counteract the flight or fight which is the bodies defensive response by triggering hormones. Connecting with others helps to naturally relieve stress and reduces feelings of anxiety and depression. Try to encourage yourself to meet and speak with others regularly. These people may not be able to reduce all of your stress but it may definitely help and it is a good opportunity to get worries out of your mind and talk to a friend who is a good listener. Its important to open up and you shouldnt be worried about feeling weak, deter you from doing so. People will be flattered that you trust them to open up to them and will be happy that you are no longer bottling problems up inside and it may even boost your relationship. Friends may not always be there every minute of the day but knowing that you have a trustworthy close ...

Released: November 12, 2017. Romi Rain is an intense fitness coach who always pushes her clients to the ultimate limit. Dillion Harper has been one of her favorite customers for a while, but with a recent breakup shes extra feisty in todays session. Punching at the boxing mitts with all her rage unleashed, its clear that things have gotten a bit unhinged. Romi asks whats up, inquiring whether she still sees her (in her opinion toxic) boyfriend. Dillion is a bit shy but then breaks the news that she is no longer seeing her man. Romi was never one to miss an opportunity.. As Dillion slowly confesses how she never really felt good when she was with that boyfriend, Romi moves in, warming up to her nimble body and expressing shock that a man would not be grateful to be so fortunate having a girl like her. Bringing the boxing wraps around her supple back, Romi tells her how trainers learn skills to really help their clients. Empowerment training can often involve surrendering to anothers will ...

We all have people in our lives who just cant handle criticism. They become instantly defensive at even the smallest constructive criticism, using excuses, blaming, or even attacking when they feel like their flaws are being pointed out. Friends and family have to tiptoe around them to avoid having their words negatively interpreted. For some of you reading this, that description might hit a little too close to home; maybe you are the one in your family that is overly sensitive and cant handle having your mistakes or shortcomings pointed out. Either way, I think its important to pay attention to this dynamic and understand it better. Why does it happen? How can some people handle criticism with grace and dignity while others crumble to pieces or provoke fights? I believe the answer, in many cases, is shame.. In this context shame is defined as the belief that you are broken, unlovable, or of less value than other human beings. Unlike guilt, which is based on regret over bad behaviors, shame ...

Discrimination is known as individual acts of prejudice (actions, words, thoughts), but it also involves the unseen social structures that prioritise your group (race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, physical/mental ability).. However, simply recognising that others are disadvantaged is not enough - one must acknolwedge their own privilege, but many are unable to do so because of unconscious oppressiveness. These feelings of distress and anger are a defensive reaction to unearned rewards and given dominance. But being privileged does not necessarily mean that you have it easy - it means that your life has not been hard because of the community youre apart of.. This is why we need to step up as allies - an ally is someone who is willing to use their position to help others. It requires constant awareness and mindful actions, which amplifies those youre trying to support rather than speaking on behalf of them. Heres how you can become an effective ally:. ...

Problems in some cases are completely absent, and can range from very mild to extremely painful and unpleasant, accompanied by mild fever. Symptoms of bladder infections usually begin with sudden pain and a feeling of heaviness in the bladder. Frequent urination usually occurs, which is actually a defensive reaction of the organism which wants to get rid of bacteria, as well as a burning sensation when urinating. What scares the patients is the presence of blood in the urine, then whitish or cloudy urine. The fever can be a sign that the infection has spread to the kidneys, and in this case, is often accompanied by pain in the lumbar part of your back, vomiting and nausea ...

The next stage arises when this idealization of the teacher is disrupted by something that the teacher does or fails to do. It is usually disrupted simply by the fact that the teacher is not perfect and the idealization is not realistic. Regardless of how perfect the teacher might be, she will never fit the idealized image of the student, and the student will at some point notice the discrepancy. When the student sees something in the idealized figure that doesnt fit with the imagined perfection, there is a disappointment and a loss of the idealized image. The student will experience even slight failings of the teacher as lack of empathy, attunement, appreciation, understanding, sensitivity-but most importantly, as the loss of the teachers support. This loss often brings up the defensive reaction of anger, rage, and hatred. The student hates the teacher for not living up to his image of her and feels that she has failed him, or even betrayed him. Psychodynamically, every time the idealizing ...

Every day, leaders encounter a wide range of negative emotions-their own and the emotions of those they lead. Impatience. Anger. Jealousy. Uncertainty. Insecurity. Defensiveness. Frustration. The list goes on. Learning to be agile and resourceful in the face of these emotions is a rich and complex area of coaching (and our third and final installment in the round up of 2014 coaching themes). We can only scratch the surface here in blog form, but its well worth scratching.. I take the term emotional agility from Susan David and Christina Congletons excellent 2013 Harvard Business Review article. When you possess high levels of emotional agility, it simply means that you have a well-developed capacity to recognize and unhook from negative emotions. You can respond to difficulties in alignment with your values-rather than simply react impulsively from a hot state. You have grace under fire.. Here are three distinct ways you can work to improve your emotional agility as a leader:. 1. Know ...

Four emotionally arousing stimuli were used to probe the behavior of monkeys with bilateral ablations of the entorhinal and perirhinal cortex. The animals behavioral changes were then contrasted with those observed earlier (Meunier et al., 1999) in monkeys with either neurotoxic or aspiration lesions of the neighboring amygdala. Rhinal cortex ablations yielded several subtle behavioral changes, but none of them resembled any of the disorders typically seen after amygdalectomies. The changes produced by rhinal damage took mainly the form of heightened defensiveness, and attenuated submission and approach responses, that is, just the opposite of some of the most distinctive symptoms following amygdala damage. These findings raise the possibility that the rhinal cortex and amygdala have distinct, interactive, functions in normal behavioral adaptation to affective stimuli. ...

The only time its gotten weird is when Im dealing with other cultures, who often see the vegetarianism as representative of imperialist American views (Id largely put down the defensiveness of omnivores, to a cultural disjunction too- and I put omnivore in quotes because Ive had far more people tell me, with pride, that theyre carnivores than omnivores). I used to go round and round with my uncle, who was a sheep farmer (and felt personally slighted by the thought that Id never eat lamb) until he got cancer and turned all beatific toward accepting others. But I also find it hard to believe that anyone whos ever spent significant time on a livestock farm wouldnt understand that there is needless suffering there, especially on a smaller, family ...

In 2007, I went to the Chopra Center in California to take part in an Ayurvedic detox program called Panchakarma. Then I was dealing with excess weight. Stress. Defensiveness. Clutter in mind, body and spirit and house!. That week led me to an entirely new way of life, a new body, a new mind and a new career. The new career, as an Ayurvedic consultant and cooking teacher, became so important to me, that at the end of 2014 I closed breathe books after 10 years. Opening breathe was one of the best choices I ever made, and closing breathe was another best choice. And now I find myself even more enthusiastic, excited and convinced that Ayurveda is such an important science, way of life, the path to perfect health. Over these past eight and a half years, I have studied Ayurveda all over the US and in India. From health counseling to teaching cooking and meditation, it really has become my primary focus in life. And now I see the benefits of Ayurveda even more clearly as I enter another stage in life ...

Thank you for this thoughtful and reasoned exploration of the extreme obsession with meat and the ferocious defensiveness of meat consumption that outspoken ex-vegans like Tasha so universally demonstrate.

First of all the number of people who came to veganism purely for health reasons and found that their health was vastly imrpoved (and in many cases, that veganism literally saved their lives) is infinitely greater than the small number of vegans who claim that veganism made them ill and start ravenously stuffing their face full of as many dead carcasses as they can ...

Ill be honest: I am loathe to enter the Lyme rabbit hole. Ive spent the last 4 and a half years researching and treating ME/CFS. The Lyme community of patients always had a significant overlap with the ME/CFS community on message boards and blogs. We were these two groups with seemingly about 95 to 100% overlap in symptoms and about 70% overlap in treatments. Basically, we all speak the same language. Yet in some ways the two communities seem worlds apart. The Lyme community often appears closed and esoteric, and many Lyme patients disavow any connection with ME/CFS despite strong evidence that theres a similar chain of neuro-immune dysfunction in both diseases. Nonetheless, both communities are bound by the connection that their diseases are understood by virtually nobody. Weve all been forced to adopt a sort of us versus the world defensiveness ...

Facilitators must have a variety of skills and techniques to be effective. Strong verbal and analytical skills are essential. Facilitators must know what questions to ask, when to ask them, and how questions should be structured to get good answers without defensiveness. Facilitators must know how to probe for more information when the initial answers are not sufficient. They must also know how to rephrase or reframe statements to enhance understanding, and to highlight areas of agreement and disagreement as they develop. Other skills include redirecting questions and comments, giving positive reinforcement, encouraging contrasting views, including quieter members of the group, and dealing with domineering or hostile participants. Nonverbal techniques include things such as eye contact, attentiveness, facial expressions, body language, enthusiasm, and maintaining a positive outlook. A facilitator must also develop the ability to read and analyze group dynamics on the spot in order to guide the ...

http://www.spiked-online.com/articles/0000000CB025.htm 20 April 2006 It is the scientific establishments own self-doubt that lies at the root of the furore over creationism. by David Perks It seems that a new spectre is haunting Europe - the spectre of creationism. During the past week Britains National Union of Teachers (NUT) put forward a motion at its national conference to end state funding of religious schools. Meanwhile, the arrival of John Mackay, an Australian creationist, on British shores prompted a full-page article in the Guardian (1). Despite the current furore, the real problem is not the strength of creationism but the defensiveness of the science establishment. This is well illustrated by the recent Royal Society statement on the issue. The Royal Society has condemned the rise of creationism in our schools and universities. As Professor David Read, vice president, put it: We felt that it would be timely to publish a clear statement on evolution, creationism and intelligent ...

Their defensiveness can manifest as an unwillingness to share things with you. If you want to some help and guidance with managing your lengthy-distance relationship, speak to a relationship coach, you possibly can send a message right here. If you want to study extra about building a healthy relationship with yourself, check out Louise Hay. To do that, you want to have the ability to specific yourself brazenly and clearly to your associate. They, in flip, should have a willingness to care about listening to what you need to share. These unseen insecurities are those that get us to do things without us understanding why we are doing them..

In the first experiment, we found that lesions of the vPAG and dlPAG produce different levels of cat-elicited freezing; vPAG lesions decreased freezing, whereas dlPAG lesions enhanced freezing. Freezing was not seen on the baseline day before cat exposure. Although the design confounds cat exposure with repeated exposure to the observation chamber, repeated exposure to a chamber alone does not elicit freezing (e.g., Young and Fanselow, 1992). Freezing is also distinct from sleeping or laying down that may occur when a rat is in a very familiar environment. The attenuation in freezing to the cat produced by vPAG lesions is consistent with the effect of these lesions on conditional freezing. The enhanced freezing to the cat produced by dlPAG lesions is not typically observed in standard conditioning paradigms. Although dlPAG lesions enhanced freezing, there is no other evidence that the mere presence of a danger stimulus produces dlPAG activity, because this area is typically involved in more ...

Police visibly invaded Occupy Santa Cruzs Tent Village yesterday around noon supposedly in search of someone who hit, shoved, or smacked a city employee. The employee was reportedly engaging in early morning high-volume leafblowing disturbing sleepers there. On the scene were police chief Kevin Vogel, Deputy Chief Steve Clark, a sergeant, several officers, and several CSOs. A threat, reportedly conveyed by Clark, warned that police would move to destroy the camp within three or four days. Clarks similar threats on October 7th frightened Occupy Santa Cruz into moving from Mission Plaza to its current location.

The survival of a baby born before 37 weeks of pregnancy depends more upon the weight of the baby than the actual number of weeks of pregnancy. Babies under 500g have only a 40% chance of survival, under 1000g a 65% chance, and over 1500g a nearly 100% chance of survival. These figures are for the best hospitals in developed countries, but babies born prematurely in remote areas will have a far lower survival rate.. The problems that very premature babies face include liver failure and jaundice, inability to maintain body temperature, immature lungs, inability to maintain the correct balance of chemicals in the blood, patent ductus arteriosus, increased risk of infection due to an immature defence system, bleeding excessively, and eye problems including blindness. The smaller the baby, the greater the problems, and the more intensive the care required from specialised units in major hospitals.. The activity and processes of immature babies must be monitored carefully. Tubes and leads to and from ...

I made a list, a simple list back then, and decided I would do just that. Many of the things on the list I already was inherently. But some I had to work at. I did. I do. And I continue to revisit this list throughout my life and compare it to who I am at the time. It has become my own measuring stick of success.. I equate success with intangible things like being most of the things on my list, or positively affecting another persons life. I measure success in quality of love and of laughter and listening. And I think this helps put things in perspective for me. It is only when I start to look to other measuring sticks to gauge my own success that I struggle with distorted self-images.. And I have to admit, that has been my problem for awhile. I have been trying to measure myself against a different standard, a standard I can never reach. So, I am revisiting the list and the girl I once was…who was so very intelligent and wonderful so many years ago, the girl who started the list. And I am ...

This book traces a long-standing concern with issues of authorship throughout the work of Günter Grass, Germanys best-known contemporary writer and public intellectual. Through detailed close-readings of all of his major literary works from 1970 onwards and careful analysis of his political writings from 1965 to 2005, it argues that Grasss tendency to insert clearly recognizable self-images into his literary texts represents a coherent and calculated reaction to his constant exposure in the media-led public sphere. It underlines the degree of play which has characterized Grasss relationship to this sphere and his identity as part of it and explains how a concern with the very concept of authorship has conditioned the way his work as a whole has developed on both thematic and structural levels. The major achievement of this study is to develop a new interpretative paradigm for Grasss work. It explains for the first time how his playful tendency to manipulate his own authorial image conditions all

Our results are the first documentation of defense-like behaviors evoked by activation of DLSC in the non-human primate. Activation of DLSC by the focal blockade of GABAergic inhibition evoked cowering, escape-like responses, high-pitch vocalizations, and attack of objects. These findings were unexpected in the context of the theoretical perspective presented by Dean et al. (1989) that emphasized a preferential role of primate DLSC for approach responses rather than defensive responses. Our findings indicate that the function of DLSC as a substrate for responding to threats is conserved across species.. Activation of DLSC produced defense-like responses that were both passive (i.e., cowering) and active (i.e., escape-like behavior, attack of objects), as well as an increase in defensive vocalization. For a given animal, the behavioral responses evoked from different sites within DLSC were consistent across infusions, suggesting that the various defense-like behaviors do not have independent site ...

Immediate and sustained metabolic alterations modulate host defensive responses during infection and malnutrition through metabolic regulations governing by nutrient-sensing machineries. These regulatory mechanisms in both adaptive and innate immune cells are known as immunometabolic regulations. In the past two decades, the explosive progresses in this field uncover the underlying molecular mechanisms and metabolic regulators and, further, reveal how these regulations fine-tune host immunity during vaccination, infection, and disease initiation and progression. In addition, metabolites generated by gut microbiota and metabolic tissues instruct immune responses in periphery and systemic metabolic alterations accompanied with aging could also contribute to insensitivity of immune system. Thus, the interplay between immune cells and metabolic homeostasis in circulation and periphery lead to effective and detrimental immune responses. Moreover, new studies suggest harnessing immunometabolic regulations is

Historically, the defining features of inflammation include: rubor (redness), calor (warmth), tumor (swelling), and dolor (pain), and there is a distinction between acute and chronic inflammation. Acute inflammation compromises the early response to an injurious agent and is a defensive response that fosters repair of the damaged site. Chronic inflammation results from stimuli that are persistently damaging to tissues. Inflammation is a way that the body reacts to infection, irritation, or other injury and is considered a nonspecific immune response. The inflammatory response directs immune cells to the site of injury or infection and is manifested by an increased blood supply coupled with vascular permeability. Microorganisms (i.e., bacteria, viruses, fungi) are then engulfed by neutrophils and macrophages (types of white blood cell) in an attempt to contain the infection to a smaller tissue space ...

1. Concrete If you want something versatile because you have been intimidated with so many options of materials to choose from, concrete is a good start and a good material to be creative and flexible at the same time. Concrete can conform to any surface or any shape and is also a very durable material thus you wont need to worry about maintenance so much. It is also a surface that can be maintained fairly easily. Pavement and patio Irving can definitely help you with your concrete needs! 2. Brick Brick is a clay that has been introduced to fire. Like concrete, it is durable and can last through a long duration of time, moreover, it is a material that has been used many years ago by architects because it is a flexible and adaptive style to landscapes and architectures. Brick is not only used for patios, it can also be used for walls and pathways. It can be flexible when it comes to adapting a formal structure or a rustic one. Moreover, considering bricks gives you freedom on exploring patterns ...

Additionally, to maximize performance on these lifts, a longer rest period is required (e.g. 60 seconds vs seconds) [1][2]. Based on this and the known correlation between strength progression and muscle growth, one would quickly assume that if longer rest periods and heavier loads are best for strength, they must be better for hypertrophy.
