Normally when people talk about symbiosis, they're talking about two different types of organisms cooperating to help each other survive. For example, clownfish hide from predators among the tentacles of sea anemones; in return, they feed the anemone with their own droppings. Yum yum. The anemone and the clownfish enjoy a symbiotic relationship. In biology however symbiosis has a broader definition than simple cooperation. It's classically defined as any long term living together of unlike organisms. Let me say that again symbiosis the long term living together of unlike organisms.
Mutualistic symbiosis or mutualism is when both partners benefit from the relationship, like we saw in the clownfish and the anemone. When I say that both partners benefit from their relationship, what I mean is that both organisms experience a significant increase in evolutionary fitness. They both end up being better at surviving and reproducing. Parasitic symbiosis or parasitism is when one benefits while the other is harmed. Ticks, huh, are a good example of a parasite. They drink your blood and then sometimes repay you with Lyme disease. Total jerks. Commenced allistic symbiosis or commensalism is when one organism benefits, while the other is not dramatically helped or harmed.

A hernia is a weakness or opening in the abdominal wall, which often results in soft tissue such as fat protruding
through the abdominal muscles and occupying space under the skin. The mechanism of the hernia is similar to what happens with a bulge in a damaged tire, where the inner tube, normally contained by the hard rubber of the tire, extends through a thin or weakened place.

To understand the final reason why the news marketplace of ideas dominated by television is so different from the one that emerged in the world dominated by the printing press, it is important to distinguish the quality of vividness experienced by television viewers from the “vividness” experienced by readers. I believe that the vividness experienced in the reading of words is automatically modulated by the constant activation of the reasoning centers of the brain that are used in the process of concreating the representation of reality the author has intended. By contrast, the visceral vividness portrayed on television has the capacity to trigger instinctual responses similar to those triggered by reality itself—and without being modulated by logic, reason, and reflective thought. The simulation of reality accomplished in the television medium is so astonishingly vivid and compelling compared with the representations of reality conveyed by printed words that it signifies much more than an incremental change in the way people consume information. Books also convey compelling and vivid representations of reality, of course. But the reader actively participates in the conjuring of the reality the book’s author is attempting to depict. Moreover, the parts of the human brain that are central to the reasoning process are continually activated by the very act of reading printed words: Words are composed of abstract symbols—letters—that have no intrinsic meaning themselves until they are strung together into recognizable sequences.
Television, by contrast, presents to its viewers a much more fully formed representation of reality—without requiring the creative collaboration that words have always demanded.

While the impacts of news marketplace and television mediums (media) such as the printing press are significant for visceral vividness, the effects of brain’s reasoning centers, such as compelling and fully formed representations of reality, are remarkable for logic, reason, and reflective thoughts, so the influences of instinctual responses, such as readers experiences, are crucial for abstract symbols and creative collaborations.

A severe drought in southern Africa is affecting millions of people, leading to a major food crisis, according to the United Nations. The WFP says over 27 million people are affected, including 21 million malnourished children. It is distributing food and cash to some areas but has only received one-fifth of the 369 million dollars it needs for relief. Urgent help is needed to prevent a full-scale humanitarian disaster.

The impact of the successful mapping of the moon's surface map by the computer has been a huge success. Later, more complex attitudes were performed on the nearly 100,000 sectors sent back by the spacecraft, so that the topographic map, color map, and panoramic mosaic of the planet were obtained, which achieved extraordinary results and laid a solid foundation for human landing on the solar system.

I'm fascinated by the extent to which sharing economy platforms like Uber and Airbnb are getting Americans to trust each other again. Over the last 40 years, the level of trust in society has fallen quite dramatically. Less than 1 in 5 Americans under the age of 35 today feel that people are trustworthy in general. But in parallel, we've developed a heightened level of trust in strangers who we meet through a digital interface. There's a generation that has grown up reading Yelp reviews, reading Amazon reviews, making their consumption choices based on what strangers on a digital platform say. And so, someone who we interact with who comes accompanied by online reviews, a Facebook and LinkedIn profile, and other digital cues seems to be someone we'll trust at the level of friends and family. What excites me about this transition is that through history every time society has created a new basis for trust, it has expanded the economy dramatically. So, I'm looking forward to seeing, as we trust our Uber drivers more, how this expands the world's economic activities and the possibilities for trade.

Today a university like the LSE in London certainly has to acknowledge that it is in competition for the best students, all of whom have choices they can exercise, and many of them choices which run across national and continental borders. We are in competition, too, for staff. The academic job market is one of the most global 25 there is. And in the 21st century English is the new Latin, so universities in English speaking countries are exposed to more intensive competition than those elsewhere. We are in competition for government funding, through the assessment of research quality. We are in competition for research contracts, from public and private sector sources, and indeed we are in competition for the philanthropic pound. Many of our own donors were at more than one university, and indeed think of the LSES requests alongside those of other charities to which they are committed. That is a competition environment which is particularly visible to a vice-Chancellor.

There are four fundamental forces at work in the universe. Some of them are very familiar from everyday life, some of them are not, so we all know about gravity, that's one of the four forces, it's what keeps us ankles to the surface of the earth, keeps the Earth in orbit
around the Sun. There is another force that we're very familiar with, which is the electromagnetic force, that is the force. that is responsible for the electricity, electric currents for light, for the sun's light, that's electromagnetic radiation coming from the Sun to the Earth. There are two other forces though, that are somewhat less familiar, they are the nuclear forces. They are forces that are at work within the nuclear atoms. One of
those forces is called the strong nuclear force, that really is the force that bides. protons to proton, bides the corks inside of the protons and neutrons keeping them from flying out. The other nuclear force is called the weak nuclear force. And that's a force that predominantly we know of because it's responsible for radio activity, radioactive decay. So those four forces, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force and gravitational force, those are the forces that work in the universe.

Why does altitude cause headache?
Since the air is thinner, there is less oxygen in the blood, so blood flow to the brain increases. The extra blood can cause blood vessels to swell and tissues to press on the sensitive membrane that surrounds the brain, resulting in a headache. But not everyone develops a headache at moderately high altitudes, partly because the low oxygen content of the air causes the climber to breath more often, forcing carbon dioxide out of the blood. The body reacts to the lowered carbon dioxide content of the
blood by decreasing blood flow to the brain. An individual's susceptibility to altitude-induced headache, as well as the severity of the headache, depends on whether the overall blood flow to the brain increases or decreases. At high altitudes, usually over 10,000 feet,
an unrelated condition known as
high-altitude cerebral edema, or
HACE, can develop. HACE occurs when parts of the brain become waterlogged. Unlike altitude-induced headache, which occurs in over ninety percent of the people who ascend to 11,000 feet, HACE is a rare disorder. Characterized by mental confusion, hallucinations,
and a drunken stagger, HACE is
almost always fatal if descent is not immediate.

A government is the organization, machinery, or agency, through which a political unit exercises its authority, controls and administers public policy, and directs and controls the actions of its members or subjects. The government makes laws, regulate economies, conduct relations with other countries, provide infrastructure and services, and maintain an army and a police force amongst others on behalf of the people of the country.
Democracy is any system of government in which the people have the rule. The ancient Greeks used the word democracy to mean government by the many in contrast to the government by the few. The key to democracy is that the people hold ultimate power. Abraham Lincoln best captured this spirit by describing democracy as a government of the people, by the people, for the people. Democratic government is opposed to an authoritative government, where the participation of its citizenry is limited or prohibited, and a state of anarchy where no form of government exists.

Wind turbine is a device that will convert wind into mechanical movement, which we can use to power water pump or electricity generator. Now the power that the turbine creates is obviously depended on the wind speed, it also depended obviously on the number of sails, the area of the sails and the angle of the sails makes to the wind. So you can imagine if the turbine blades flat onto the wind, the wind's going to just bend it, if there is slight angle when the wind hits it, it's going to turn the blades. We can use that for powering things. Now, we're going to have a go, making some of the very, very simple paper windmills, a sort of things that you can make from the bits and pieces lying around home, and use that to drive very small generator to power electronic devices.

Artificial Neural Networks have recently become the state-of-the-art technique for crucial signal processing applications such as specific frequencies classification, structural health monitoring, diseases detection in power electronic circuitry, and motor-fault detection. This is an unexpected outcome as there are numerous advantages of using an adaptive and compact deep counterparts.

Stretching the mind across time—even in the most speculative ways—can help us become more responsible planetary stewards: It can help endow us with the time literacy necessary for tackling long-term challenges such as biodiversity loss, microplastics accumulation, climate change, antibiotic resistance, asteroid impacts, sustainable urban planning, and more.

Hospitality venues are struggling to fill thousands of job vacancies, according to an industry body. Waiting staff and chefs are in particular demand as Covid-19 restrictions continue to ease, UK Hospitality said. It called on the government to stick to its plan to lift all Covid restrictions in England on 21 June. The government said it was "doing everything we can to support hospitality".

450 million people today face water shortages but people in rich countries are wasting water. We are used to turning on the tap and having fresh running water whenever we want it. Each person needs 80 litters of water per day for health and hygiene. The average American uses 500 litters per day.

Muscle is a star player in keeping your body happy and healthy in the long-term, for several reasons. For starters, lean muscle mass can help manage blood sugar, keeping type 2 diabetes at bay. In fact, one 2017 cohort study found a negative association between muscle mass and risk of developing of type 2 diabetes. “The number one consumer of blood sugar in the human body is skeletal muscle,” says Tim Church, a professor of preventive medicine. So, the more muscle you have, the greater your potential to metabolize blood sugar.
Also, as you age, you’ll want a healthy amount of muscle, rather than fat. “Muscle is a commonly overlooked marker of healthy aging,” Church says. You lose about 1-2% of muscle
mass starting around age 40 or 45, he adds. This age-related decline in muscle is known as sarcopenia, and it’s one of the biggest reasons many older adults can no longer do simple
tasks without help. “You can’t put your jacket on, you can’t push yourself off the toilet, and you can’t get yourself off the ground after you fall,” Church says. “It all comes down to strength and muscle mass”.
What’s even better news is that muscle can further help you maintain a healthy weight by raising your basal metabolic rate, or the number of calories you burn at rest. “That number has been widely discussed and argued over the years,” saysJoel Seedman, a neuromuscular
physiologist. “But we do know the more muscle you have, the faster your metabolism”.
Lastly and least importantly, at least pertaining to health, the density of muscle might cause it to weigh more, it also means it takes up less space in the body. “If someone gains 10 pounds of muscle, a lot of times they’ll barely notice that on their body,” Seedman says.

The young, star-forming galaxy is filled with dust and gas, and formed 2 billion years after the Big Bang, the researchers report — an era more than 11 billion years ago, when the universe was about one-sixth its current size. Dim, distant and choked with dust, the object is nearly invisible in every wavelength of light. However, a trick of gravity initially predicted by Albert Einstein has given researchers a rare look at the "invisible" galaxy.

But as more Americans become vaccinated and virus restrictions loosen, masks are at the center of a second round in the country’s culture brawl. This time, people who choose to continue to cover their faces have become targets of public ire. In interviews, vaccinated people who continue to wear masks said they are increasingly under pressure, especially in recent days; friends and family have urged them to relax, or even have suggested that they are paranoid.

Under normal conditions, vivid dream mentation combined with muscle difficulties characterizes rapid eye movement sleep. Since its first description in 1986 by Dr. Carlos and his group's subsequent report of the delayed emergence of a disorder in patients one decade later, RBD has emerged in recent years as one of the most promising markers of sleep behavior problems.
