Growth Cocktail Helps Restore Spinal Connections in the Most Severe Injuries
Repairing damaged nerves in a rodent study marks a crucial first step toward bringing back lost
movement
By Emily Willingham on August 30, 2018
In 1995 the late actor Christopher Reeve, who most famously played Superman, became paralyzed from the
neck down after a horseback-riding accident. The impact from the fall left him with a complete spinal cord
injury at the neck, preventing his brain from communicating with anything below it. Cases like Reeve’s are
generally considered intractable injuries, absent any way to bridge the gap to restore disrupted
communication lines.When Reeve died in 2004 a means of reconnection had yet to be built. Now, 14 years later, researchers have
coaxed nerve cells to span the divide of a complete spinal cord injury. Their findings, described August 29 in
Nature, are specific to only one kind of nerve cell and much work remains before a means of reconnection
reaches patients, but the results make an impression. [...]
Their first effort failed. They tried dampening the activity of a gene called PTEN because the gambit had
worked well with a few other types of nonspinal neurons. To their surprise, that strategy did not succeed
with the propriospinal cells. They then turned to a set of chemicals that promote nerve cell growth and
trigger production of a well-known structural protein called laminin, widely used in tissue engineering as a
scaffold. Some of these growth promoters are active in embryonic development, and adults usually do not
make them. Previous efforts to coax axons across an injury gap using so-called growth factors alone had
come up empty—failures blamed on other inhibitory chemicals getting in the way.

[…] a series of hypotheses that make up a coherent theory of second language acquisition. According to the
rules of scientific method, it will always be "just theory" and never be "definitely proven". The hypotheses I
will present have, however, been found to be consistent with a significant amount of data, experimental and
otherwise, and have not yet been confronted with serious counterexamples, in my view. They make up,
collectively, my "position". This does not mean that I necessarily "believe" them. What it does mean is that
these hypotheses are consistent enough with existing data to be worthy of consideration, and that they
appear to capture the data better than other existing generalizations.

Q2055049
Inglês
Many people learn English because they have moved into a target-language community and they need to be
able to operate successfully within that community. A target-language community is a place where English is
the national language - e.g. Britain, Canada, New Zealand, etc - or where it is one of the main languages of
culture and commerce - e.g. India, Pakistan, Nigeria.
Some students need English for a Specific Purpose (ESP). Such students of ESP (sometimes also called English for Special Purposes) may need to learn legal language, or the language of tourism, banking or nursing, for example. An extremely popular strand of ESP is the teaching of business English, where students learn about how to operate in English in the business world. Many students need English for Academic Purposes (EAP) in order to study at an English-speaking university or college, or because they need to access English-language academic texts.
Many people learn English because they think it will be useful in some way for international communication and travel. Such students of general English often do not have a particular reason for going to English classes, but simply wish to learn to speak (and read and write) the language effectively for wherever and whenever this might be useful for them.

Keep Families Together Act
This bill prohibits an agent or contractor of the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, or the Department of
Health and Human Services from removing a child who is under the age of 18 and has no permanent immigration status from his or her
parent or legal guardian at or near the port of entry or within 100 miles of the U.S. border unless:
• an authorized state court determines that it is in the child's best interests to be removed;
• a state or county child welfare official with expertise in child trauma and development determines that it is in the child's best
interests to be removed because of abuse or neglect; or
• the Chief Patrol Agent or the Area Port Director authorizes separation based on a documented finding that the child is a
trafficking victim or is at significant risk of becoming a victim, a strong likelihood exists that the adult is not the parent or legal
guardian, or the child is in danger of abuse or neglect.
An agency may not remove a child from a parent or legal guardian solely for the policy goals of deterring migration to the United States
or of promoting immigration law compliance.
The bill sets forth presumptions: (1) in favor of family and sibling unity and parental rights, and (2) that detention is not in the best
interests of families and children.
The Government Accountability Office shall conduct a study of the prosecution of asylum seekers.

[…] If a teacher is normally noisy and energetic as a teacher, he or she should spend a class behaving more calmly. This is so because each time teachers break their own behavior patterns, they send a ripple through the class. That ripple is a mixture of surprise and curiosity and it is a perfect starting point for student involvement. The need for surprise and curiosity within a fifty-minute lesson is also overwhelming. This can be seen most clearly with children at primary and secondary levels, but even adults need a varied diet to keep them stimulated. However, variety is not the same as anarchy, since students need a certain amount of predictability for the sake of stability.

Saving Energy
Just a century ago, humans used very little energy because we had less of the
things that consume it. There were no computers, phones, TV, cars, lights, washing
machines and all that. After the industrial revolution, people started using a lot more
manufactured items such as electronics, automobiles, and home appliances. These
items use a lot of energy, but if we all cut its use by half, that would be huge savings,
and make a great difference.
Saving energy can be achieved in different ways: 1. Energy conservation, 2. Energy
Efficiency, and 3. Recycling. These first two are not the same, even though people
often use them to mean the same thing.
1- Energy Conservation: This is the practice that results in less energy being
used. For instance, turning the taps, computers, lights, and TV off when not in use.
It also includes running in the park or outside instead of running on the treadmill in
the gym. Energy conservation is great because we can all do this everywhere and
anytime. It is a fundamental behavior we must acquire.
2- Energy Efficiency: This is the use of manufacturing techniques and technology
_______ produce things that use less energy for the same result. For example, if a
heater is designed to warm your home with less energy than regular heaters, that
would be an energy efficient heater. If your washing machine uses less energy to
do the same job as other washers, that is an energy efficient washer. An interesting
fact is that homes built in the U.S. after 2000 are about 30% bigger, but they use
less energy than older homes.
3- Recycling: This involves the use of waste or old materials to make new ones,
like collecting all old newspapers from the town at the end of every day and turning
the papers into fresh paper for printing again. We can collect all plastic bottles and
send them to be used for new plastic bottles or used for children plastic toys. Recycling saves energy __________ less energy is used to recycle than to turn new
raw materials into new products.
This means that to save energy, we should use all these great ways. If we all try to
do this, together we can save some money and use less natural resources too.

Importance of Aquaculture
Aquaculture involves the art, science and business of breeding aquatic animals and plants in fresh or
marine waters for human use. It also extends to the marketing of such organisms in a controlled environment. It is a kind of agriculture, and therefore, it requires inputs such as clean water and nutrients.
It also requires storage for harvested produce, transportation and marketing facilities.
Inputs often depend on the species that are farmed. Species lower on the aquatic food chain usually require less input, as they feed on microorganisms and are fine in just clean water. More inputs like fish or fishmeal, cereals, or grains are required, as we get higher on the food chain with species like salmon or tuna.
All over the world, the demand for seafood has increased because people have learned that seafood as part of regular diets are healthier and help fight cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s and many other major illnesses.
Aquaculture will add to wild seafood, and make it _______ and accessible to all.
Aquaculture business provides tax and royalty revenue to local governments. Besides, there is also potential revenue from exports.

Introduction to global food loss and food waste
Food losses and food waste are quickly becoming a top global issue, because while there are millions of families with children starving, others are living in abundance, with many others carelessly throwing food away. Many of us have wasted food in one way or the other, but the real food losses and waste matter is ______ than just consumer food waste.
From farming fields and storage places, through transportation, processing, market places, down to
consumption places such as homes, schools, restaurants and workplaces, more than half of all food
produced globally go to waste. This is a tragedy!
In developing countries, it takes a lot of man-power to produce food. In more advanced countries, machines and technology are used, but the drain on energy, destruction of vegetative lands, the use of chemicals and ______ impact on the environment are phenomenal. Putting all that together, it is clear that a major problem has emerged and we are all in a position to help in one way or the other.

Introduction to Climate change
Many people make Climate Change and Global Warming a scary and difficult thing to understand, _______ it’s not.
Scientists have warned that the world's climate has changed a lot, and has affected many living and non-living things. Many places _______ were warmer are now getting colder, and many colder regions are getting much colder or even warmer nown as Global Warming).
For example, _________ 1901 and 2012, it is believed that the earth's temperature has risen by 0.89 °C. Rainfall amounts have also risen in the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere since the beginning of the 20th Century. It is also believed that sea levels have risen up to about 19cm globally, with lots of glaciers melting in addition.
Some people do not believe that these are caused by human activities. They think it is all political actions and falsehood intended to cause panic among humans.
Well, whatever it is, we would like to know more, and take a few good points from this confusion, and
