The German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina honors Elly Tanaka with the Schleiden Medal for her groundbreaking insights in the field of regenerative biology Elly Tanaka studies the regeneration of complex body structures she has identified the cells and mechanisms that enable these animals to regenerate their limbs and several other organs including the spinal cord and brain.   Key milestones in Tanaka’s research include developing methods to generate transgenic salamanders and identifying the essential molecular mechanisms required for the complete regeneration of axolotl limbs Tanaka’s work is not limited to salamanders Building on her findings about the axolotl Tanaka and her lab investigate why mammals have lost their regenerative abilities over the course of evolution which contribute to scar formation in mammals are instead converted into stem cells in the axolotl after an injury allowing for the axolotl’s limb to regenerate.  Tanaka’s research also builds the foundation for developing new strategies for regenerating or replacing mammalian tissue These insights hold potential for human medicine: Tanaka and her team have succeeded in inducing human embryonic stem cells to form retinal tissue including the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) Tanaka and her team use these cells to search for potential drugs to repair defects in RPE cells which are known to lead to progressive blindness Tanaka and her team investigate the regeneration of the axolotl heart after injury as well as the wiring of new neural circuits.  Elly Tanaka studied biochemistry at the University of California in San Francisco After a research stay at the Ludwig Cancer Research Institute in London she moved to the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden she has held a professorship for animal models of regeneration at the Technical University of Dresden she also served as director of the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) she worked as a senior scientist at the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology in Vienna Tanaka has been the Scientific Director at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) in Vienna Elly Tanaka was admitted to Leopoldina in the Genetics/Molecular Biology and Cell Biology Section.  The Schleiden Medal is named after Academy member Matthias Jacob Schleiden (1804–1881) The botanist was a co-founder of cell theory the medal has been awarded by Leopoldina for outstanding discoveries in the field of cell biology The award will be presented to Elly Tanaka as part of the Leopoldina Symposium of Class II – Life Sciences on Wednesday The Leopoldina originated in 1652 as a classical scholarly society and now has 1,700 members from almost all branches of science the Leopoldina was appointed as the German National Academy of Sciences and was invested with two major objectives: representing the German scientific community internationally and providing policymakers and the public with science-based advice.  +43-1-790 44 office(at)imba.oeaw.ac.at       Facebook       Youtube       Twitter       LinkedIn       INTRANET       Webmail You

Discoveries That Changed Biology ForeverThe field of biology has never failed to surprise the mankind but then several groundbreaking biological discoveries remain to be the cornerstones of our understanding of life Take a look at the top 10 discoveries that changed biology forever Top 10 Discoveries That Changed Biology ForeverBiology is the study of living organisms If there is any subject that understands life on the planet we know a lot about the world that we live in and the body that we live in all thanks to the field of biology and the inspiring biologists who have contributed significantly to the field we bring to you the top 10 discoveries in the field of biology that have changed the field forever From the discovery of the DNA structure to the theory of evolution we have covered the most significant discoveries in the field of biology The first one on the list is the discovery of the cell theory It was in the 19th century when Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann who proposed the cell theory The theory states that all living organisms are composed of cells The discovery paved the way for modern psychology The theory emphasises on the fact that the cell is the basic unit of life It was in the year 1953 when Francis Crick and Hames Watson threw light on the double-helix structure of DNA This unique revelation explained the way genetic formation is stored and transmitted The discovery revolutionzed genetics and lead to advancements in the fields like biotechnology In the 1859 publication titled "On the Origin of Species" Charles Darwin introduced the groundbreaking theory of evolution by natural selection to the world The concept elucidated the way species adapt and evolve with time The theory offers a unifying framework to understand the diversity of life forms on the planet The experiments of Gregor Mendel with pea plants threw light on the principles of inheritance the experiment was done in the mid-19th century The work of the scientist paved the way for modern genetics the theory threw light on how the traits are passed from one generation to the other through discrete units known as genes The invention of the microscope by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in the 17th century led to the groundbreaking discovery of microorganisms The revelation opened the gates for a brand new world of study leading to the realm of infectious diseases and microbiology The discovery ultimately led to the enhancement of public health through a deep understanding of pathogens The discovery and understanding of protein structures like the discovery of the structure of insulin by Dorothy Hodgkin has proved to be important in the understanding several biochemical processes The insights thus obtained led to the advancement of knowledge of metabolic pathways Researchers were successful in the 1960s in deciphering the genetic code This discovery revealed the way sequences of DNA are transformed into proteins the discovery proved to be fundamental and extremely crucial to molecular biology The discovery enabled scientists to understand the way genes direct the synthesis of proteins governing cellular functions The development of this technology has revolutionized the realm of genetic engineering by enabling the precise editing of DNA sequences The breakthrough development has had huge impacts in the fields of agriculture The project mapped the complete human genome The monumental achievement has offered a substantial reference for genetic research The project has made it possible for scientists to identify the genes that are associated with disease It has also helped in understanding human evolution the project has also made personalized medicine possible This moment meant the discovery of antibiotics and transformed the world of medicine by offering quick and effective treatments for bacterial infections The breakthrough discovery had made it possible to save countless lives these ten discoveries have significantly altered our understanding of biology for good As the world progresses to explore the mysteries of biology the fundamental discoveries discussed above will still be the cornerstones of

List of the Top 7 Most Beautiful Cities in the US When my father took me to his darkroom and I developed my first photo in black and white I also remember taking lots of pictures of my sister grimacing with my father’s Robot camera I started taking pictures when I was a child and I never stopped In 1989 I began working for a sports photo agency I worked 80 to 100 hours a week and travelled a lot to big sporting events My first assignment was a Bundesliga soccer match between Dusseldorf and Stuttgart I started wondering why all the photographers were running behind the goal After that I decided to learn more about the sport The visit that Barack Obama and Angela Merkel made to Buchenwald concentration camp left a big mark on me who survived Auschwitz and also Buchenwald he looked to the future with so much grace and tolerance I thought everybody should learn from people like him I love soccer with all its surprises and emotions But I also like stories and assignments where I can find my own style of taking photos and let my imagination run wild I always hope to show the people in my pictures just as they really are and I hope my audience understands what I mean and there are not many people who can say that Metrics details The present study examined the interactive effects of fluoride and phthalates on their uptake generation of reactive oxygen species and activation of antioxidative defence responses in Spirodela polyrhiza L A hydroponic study was conducted in which S polyrhiza cultured in Hoagland’s nutrient medium was exposed to fluoride (50 ppm) and different concentrations viz. 150 300 ppm of diethyl phthalate (DEP) and diallyl phthalate (DAP) individually as well as in combination for the time period of 24 carotenoid content and increased anthocyanin content was observed Fluoride and phthalates was found to be readily accumulated by S when binary treatments were given in nutrient medium uptake of both fluoride and phthalate was found to be influenced by each other while its own uptake was restricted by fluoride combined stress further caused significant decrement in carbohydrate protein content and increment in MDA levels phthalates showed more pronounced oxidative stress and growth inhibition compared to fluoride enhanced level of antioxidant enzymatic activities was observed in S polyrhiza under both fluoride and phthalate stress as compared to control Scanning electron microscope imaging of leaf stomata revealed that combined stress of fluoride with phthalates caused distortion in the shape of guard cells Confocal micrographs confirmed the generation of reactive oxygen species and enhanced levels of glutathione in plant cells This study focussed on ecotoxicological and interactive significance of fluoride led phthalate uptake or vice versa which was also assumed to confer tolerance attributes they pose serious threats to terrestrial as well as aquatic plants and animals Spirodela polyrhiza has been chosen as an effective tool for the biomonitoring of the cumulative effects of fluoride and phthalates our present investigation envisaged the toxic and interactive effects of fluoride and phthalates namely DAP and DEP on Spirodela polyrhiza L till date no study has been undertaken to investigate the interactive effects of fluoride and phthalates on any plant and this is the first report which is reporting the combined effects of fluoride and phthalates on growth physiological and biochemical parameters of S this study is a dedicated attempt in this perspective to investigate tolerance and defense strategies of S polyrhiza to combined effect of fluoride and phthalates on growth parameters accumulation of fluoride and phthalates content Chromatographic separation of mixed sample containing DEP and DAP was shown in (Supplementary Fig. 1) where two peaks were obtained separated from baseline and without any interference peak Total run time was 20.01 min and the retention time (RT) of DEP and DAP was 4.52 and 5.44 min Interactive effects of fluoride and phthalates (DEP and DAP) on fresh weight (%age) and dry to fresh weight ratio (DW/FW) of S Mean values with same letters signifies no significant difference between two values of different concentrations for the same exposure period (using one-way ANOVA) Interactive effects of fluoride and phthalates (DEP and DAP) on total chlorophyll On the other hand, carotenoid content in plant showed decreasing trend at all the applied concentrations of DEP, DAP and fluoride and the minimum carotenoid content was observed at combined concentration of fluoride with 300 ppm DEP as well as DAP after the exposure period of 72 hours (Fig. 2) All individual treatments with either fluoride, DEP and DAP exhibited significant increase in anthocyanin pigent when compared to control plants (Fig. 2) almost all binary treatments led to significantly higher anthocyanin content in comparison to respective single treatment of fluoride DEP and DAP concentrations at all the exposure periods combined effect of fluoride with DEP showed more anthocyanin accumulation as compared to DAP Interactive effects of fluoride and phthalates (DEP and DAP) on protein carbohydrate and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents of S Interactive effects of fluoride and phthalates (DEP and DAP) on proline content percentage of electrolyte leakage (EL) and total phenolic content of S As for the proline content, individual treatments with both fluoride, DEP and DAP led to significant accumulation of proline in fronds of S. polyrhiza, with maximum accumulation found at 50 ppm fluoride (Fig. 4) combined treatments of fluoride either with DEP and DAP showed maximum proline content of 44.66 34.63 µmol/gfw as compared to their respective controls at high combination of fluoride with 300 ppm DEP and DAP after 24 Interactive effects of fluoride and phthalates (DEP and DAP) on specific activities of antioxidative enzymes (SOD All individual treatments significantly elevated CAT activity in exposed fronds as compared to control during all the exposure periods although all binary treatments triggered even higher CAT activity Maximum CAT activity was observed at the highest combination of fluoride with DEP as well as DAP during the time interval of 24 APX activity showed significant increase with increasing dose and duration Maximum activity was observed when binary treatments of fluoride with 300 ppm DEP were given to S while combined exposure of fluoride with 300 ppm DAP showed highest APX activity after 120 h time period binary treatments induced reduced CAT activity after 24 and 72 h time period when compared to control and individual treatments of DAP enhanced GPOX activity was measured upon exposure to individual fluoride DEP and DAP concentrations and their combinations comparison to control Binary treatment of fluoride with DEP showed reduced GPX activity as compared to individual treatment after 24 hours and then become maximum at the highest combination of fluoride with 300 ppm DEP reduced GPX activity was observed at same combined treatment after 72 individual treatment of DAP as well as combined treatment of DAP with fluoride showed increasing trend at all the durations and maximum activity was found after the time period of 120 h all individual treatments induced significant increase in GR activity while binary treatment of fluoride with 75 ppm DEP or DAP showed decreased GR activity when compared to control during all the durations maximum increase in the activity was found at highest combined concentration of fluoride with 300 ppm DEP after 168 h while those treated with combination of fluoride with 300 ppm DAP showed higher GR activity after the exposure period of 24 h Scanning electron micrographs depicting (A) open stomata (untreated) (B) closed stomata (treated) fronds of S polyrhiza showing interactive effects of fluoride with DEP and DAP Combined effects of fluoride and phthalates further inhibited plant growth compared to single treatment of F− anthocyanin pigment content significantly enhanced in this investigation implying stress activated the gene which stimulated anthocyanin biosynthesis the effect of DEP on anthocyanin pigment was negligible as compared to DAP in this observation Increased content is a part of strategy adopted by the plant to minimize the deleterious impacts of stress Although the individual as well as combined toxic effect of DAP on carbohydrate content was much more pronounced as compared to DEP at all the concentrations and exposure periods Subsequent increase in the activity reflected that SOD enzyme was stimulated by the formation of superoxide radicals to protect the plant from the toxicity of fluoride and phthalates exhibited increased activity initially under combined exposure of fluoride with DEP exposure after 24 h and then reduced drastically at other exposure periods combined treatments of fluoride with DAP showed enhanced GPX activity in concentration-duration dependent manner plant showed its efficiency to up-regulate both types of peroxidases to counteract the effects of peroxides generated under stressful environments fluoride and phthalates influenced the uptake of each other and revealed synergistic and/or antagonistic effects during combined treatments The greatest impact of fluoride- phthalates induced stress was recorded at the highest concentration of combined treatments Analysis showed that individual treatment of fluoride and phthalates induced oxidative damage to some extent but combined treatment further triggered oxidative burst and was more prominent in initial exposure periods which then alleviated with increase in exposure periods This indicates that this aquatic plant may adapt to the combined stress with due course of time by activating antioxidant machinery It may be possible that these contaminants (Fluoride-phthalates) bind to the plant cell wall and are metabolized or sequestered by plant in the vacuoles and converted into non-toxic form Higher DAP uptake mediated by fluoride in combined treatments led to more ecotoxicological effects on plant as compared to DEP Delineation of fate of fluoride-phthalates within plant tissues is required for better understanding of the mechanisms of toxicity and its sequesteration within plant cells Further required concentrations for treatment were prepared by diluting stock solutions of phthalates in Hoagland’s nutrient medium Treatments of fluoride and phthalates (DAP and DEP) were applied to desired concentrations either individually as well as in binary combinations to make the following treatments (1) Control (Hogland’s medium); (2) Control (Hogland’s medium + Tween 20 + ethanol); (3) 50 ppm F−; (3) 75 ppm DEP or DAP; (4) 150 ppm DEP or DAP (5) 300 ppm DEP or DAP (6) 50 ppm F− + 75 ppm DEP or DAP (6) 50 ppm F−150 ppm DEP or DAP (6) 50 ppm F− + 300 ppm DEP or DAP These concentrations were decided from pre-experimental studies in which various lower and higher concentration of fluoride and phthalates were used Fluoride showed maximum damage to the plant growth at 50 ppm concentration while EC50 of both the pthalates was calculated as 229.08 ppm (DAP) and 271.60 ppm (DEP) CAS: 84-66-2) and diallyl phthalate (97.0% purity CAS: 131-17-9) were purchased from Hi-Media Other chemicals used as ingredients of Hoagland’s nutrient medium (3%) were of analytical grade Harvesting of plant material was done after 24 blotted to remove the excess water and then stored in deep freezer (−80 °C) Plant material was then assayed for various growth and biochemical parameters 500 mg of plant sample was extracted with 20 ml acetone followed by ultrasonication of 30 min Hexane (20 ml) was added for further extraction and again sonication was done for 30–35 min The extract obtained was filtered and evaporated to 1 ml at 40 °C in rotary evaporator Acetonitrile (4 ml) was added to remaining extract to make up 5 ml volume filtered using 0.22 µm syringe filter and then analysed using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) A method was developed and validated for the estimation of phthalates using reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) The stock solution (500 mg/l) of DAP and DEP was prepared in HPLC grade acetonitrile and working solutions (5–400 mg/l) were prepared through serial dilution of stock dried on filter paper to remove excess water and then weighed Plants were oven dried at 105 °C for first 20 min and then dried at 80 °C for two days to obtain constant dry weight Percentage change in fresh weight and dry weight to fresh weight ratio was calculated 1 g of fresh plant material was crushed in 3 ml of acidified methanol (99 ml methanol: 1 ml HCl) Extract was centrifuged for 20 min at 12000 rpm at 4 °C Supernatant was collected and incubated at 4 °C for 24 h Electrolyte leakage was determined as per the method given by Dionisio-sese and Tobita74 polyrhiza (0.2 g) were cut into small pieces and added in the test tubes filled with distilled water (10 ml) initial electrical conductivity (EC1) was measured using conductivity meter Then samples were autoclaved at 121 °C for 20 min to release all the electrolytes Samples were then cooled to room temperature and final electrical conductivity was recorded (EC2) Percent electrolyte leakage was calculated using following equation: Scanning electron microscopy was performed to detect the stomatal response under stressful conditions The stomatal response of control and treated fronds of S polyrhiza was observed by using scanning electron microscope (Carl Zeiss-EvoLS 10) leaf samples were fixed overnight in 2.5% glutaraldehyde prepared in 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer (PPB) The leaf samples were washed with distilled water and then further dehydrated in different ethanol series (30% Adaxial surface of leaves were then placed on metal stubs The surface features of fronds were observed under the scanning electron microscope at a voltage of 15 KV and stomata were viewed under the resolution of 500–4000 nm roots were washed and placed on glass slide over a drop of water to prevent dehydration and then covered with cover slip to visualise under confocal laser microscope He-Ne gas laser was used to excite the electrons at wavelength of 535 nm 7 dichloroflurescein (DCF) to excite the electrons at the wavelength of 488 nm and for monochlorobimane (MCB) excitation wavelength of 380 nm was used All the experimentation was performed in triplicates and expressed as the mean ± standard error The data was subjected to two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for assessing the effect of fluoride and phthalates on S Analysis of all the experiments were done using self coded software MS-Excel 2010 The Tukey’s post hoc multiple comparison test was done at 0.05 level of significance for the comparisons against control values Multiple linear regression was performed to determine the relationship between dependent and independent variables and was calculated using following equation: b1 = partial regression coefficient for x1 on y eliminating effect of x2 b2 = partial regression coefficient for x2 on y eliminating effect of x1 In order to explain the relative effects of independent variables (fluoride and phthalate) on dependent variable This article does not include any studies related with human subjects or animal models performed by any of the authors

Sign up for the Nature Briefing: Anthropocene newsletter — what matters in anthropocene research Annexing Briarwood’s 126 acres to Richfield Village is a done deal enabling the village to build a sewer line along Route 303 that would connect to 130 proposed single-family houses to be constructed by Pulte Homes will benefit as the recipient of property taxes from the new homes which will be priced between $475,000- $525,000 Richfield Village will benefit by collecting income tax revenue as the connector to an access road that will run through a township neighborhood to the new development which would be less intrusive to the township neighborhood adjacent to the new subdivision Therese Schleiden lives at the junction of Briarwood and Whitethorn Circle because the access road into the development will begin between her home and that of a neighbor “Why isn’t the village of Richfield sharing some of the traffic?’’ Schleiden said “They’re getting all the benefits from the development but they’re sending all the traffic on township roads and they’re using a sewer easement behind my house [to build a road] because it’s splitting three properties apart.’’ The rough excavation of the roadbed has already begun “They took every single tree down,’’ Schleiden said “The really sad thing is that I’m going to have a road on three sides of me and I didn’t even find out about it until last year when the surveyors were running around during the pandemic and they had just found out that the sewer easement was being turned into a road Township officials have no power to alter the process They’ve torn out trees behind her house because they went to build a 50-foot [roadway] easement The village stance is they don’t have to talk to us Traffic created by 130 homes and construction vehicles is the primary complaint of township residents in the immediate area “They want to dump all this traffic on us,’’ Shupe said Schleiden has tried to find more information: “Last summer there was a meeting and Jeff Shupe asked ‘Why did you decide to put a road on a sewer easement and [village Planning Director] Brian Frantz said When Schleiden asked Frantz the question privately he told her it was because of riparian setbacks and interstate setbacks “We had a meeting last summer with Joe Paradise [from the Summit County Engineer’s office] “They could build a road on the other side if they wanted to I’m starting to believe it really was just a decision Frantz said there are two reasons why Briarwood Rd was chosen for ingress and egress over Sawbridge Drivers leaving the development and turning left from Sawbridge onto Rt 303 have limited vision of cars traveling toward them because of a hill on Rt “There is a hill when you turn left from Briarwood And by lowering 303 [by one or two feet] we can solve that problem.’’ Frantz said that Sawbridge would barely meet ODOT standards it would ‘’far exceed ODOT specifications.’’ 303 for a distance of 250 feet but might be reimbursed by the village depending on other negotiated items between the village and the builder Frantz also cited environmental issues that work to the detriment of Sawbridge Schleiden voiced doubts about the ability of Briarwood Rd to hold up to the pounding of additional vehicles so it doesn’t have the same kind of foundation as other roads,’’ she said how are safety vehicles going to get to 160 homes It doesn’t seem like anyone is concerned about that but if your husband or wife is having a heart attack Wheeler is aware that some in the township have grievances “Township residents on Whitethorn are all complaining because they think this is going to interrupt their rural lifestyle,’’ said the mayor ‘’But the way the subdivision is planned and set back The fact is the trees are going to hide it.’’ Randy Kertesz searched for a way to monetize the 126 wooded acres to the west of the Briarwood development Sixty-six homes in the current subdivision lie within Richfield Village The undeveloped acreage is part of the township which rejected Kertesz’s plan to build 280 residential units in the 1980s But Kertesz went to court and won a judgment allowing him to build 208 garden apartments and 72 single family houses Yet unless Kertesz was able to provide water and sewer service when the village helped bring Cleveland water to Briarwood Kertesz had been providing water and sewer connections through his Water & Sewer LLC at monthly rates of $200 for water and $150 for sewer The sewage treatment plant sits on the banks of Furnace Run Creek and did not have the capacity to serve additional residents the Environmental Protection Agency would not approve any expansion Richfield Village is providing sewer hookups to the new Briarwood development now that it has

The predominance of human biological research confirms that human life begins at conception — fertilization the human being emerges as a whole genetically distinct individuated zygotic living human organism needing only the proper environment in order to grow and develop The difference between the individual in its adult stage and in its zygotic stage is one of form countless professionals have attested to the fact that a unique human organism begins to exist at fertilization not at some arbitrary moment in pregnancy or after birth former President of the National Medical Association “Human life begins when the ovum is fertilized and the new combined cell mass begins to divide.” Biological Principles and Modern Practice of Obstetrics “The term conception refers to the union of the male and female pronuclear elements of procreation from which a new living being develops It is synonymous with the terms fecundation and fertilization … The zygote thus formed represents the beginning of a new life.” “In that fraction of a second when the chromosomes form pairs the sex of the new child will be determined hereditary characteristics received from each parent will be set “The development of a human being begins with fertilization a process by which two highly specialized cells the spermatozoon from the male and the oocyte from the female Van Nostrand’s Scientific Encyclopedia “At the moment the sperm cell of the human male meets the ovum of the female and the union results in a fertilized ovum (zygote) the male and female gametes produce a fertilized single cell “Thus a new cell is formed from the union of a male and a female gamete contains a new combination of genetic material resulting in an individual different from either parent and from anyone else in the world.” “It is the penetration of the ovum by a sperm and the resulting mingling of nuclear material each brings to the union that constitutes the initiation of the life of a new individual.” Rites of Life: The Scientific Evidence for Life Before Birth “Zygote is a term for a newly conceived life after the sperm and the egg cell meet but before the embryo begins to divide.” began his or her unique existence in this manner If this first cell or any subsequent configuration of cells perishes ceasing to exist in matter as a living being There are no known exceptions to this rule in the field of human biology.” “Human development begins after the union of male and female gametes or germ cells during a process known as fertilization (conception).” Before We Are Born: Essentials of Embryology and Birth Defects formed by the union of an ovum and a sperm… represents the beginning of a human being.” Ronan O’Rahilly and Fabiola Miller:  “Although life is a continuous process fertilization is a critical landmark because genetically distinct human organism is thereby formed … The combination of 23 chromosomes present in each pronucleus results in 46 chromosomes in the zygote Thus the diploid number is restored and the embryonic genome is formed The embryo now exists as a genetic unity.” “Almost all higher animals start their lives from a single cell the fertilized ovum (zygote)… The time of fertilization represents the starting point in the life history The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology “[The zygote] results from the union of an oocyte and a sperm A zygote is the beginning of a new human being the process during which a male gamete or sperm … unites with a female gamete or oocyte … to form a single cell called a zygote totipotent cell marks the beginning of each of us as a unique individual.” “A zygote is the beginning of a new human being (i.e. “The life cycle of mammals begins when a sperm enters an egg.” “Fertilization is the process by which male and female haploid gametes (sperm and egg) unite to produce a genetically distinct individual.” “The oviduct or Fallopian tube is the anatomical region where every new life begins in mammalian species the spermatozoa meet the oocyte in the specific site of the oviduct named ampulla “…it is scientifically correct to say that human life begins at conception.” Abortion advocates continue to deny the scientific fact that life begins at fertilization because hiding the humanity of the preborn child allows them to justify abortion completely unique human life comes into existence Live Action News publishes pro-life news and commentary from a pro-life perspective.  Learn More With so many of Planned Parenthood’s legitimate health care services plummeting over the past..

British Open — Would his putting touch return — another was added Thursday morning as Woods stepped to the first tee at Carnoustie: What was that stuff on his neck a stretchy sports tape designed to relieve pain while supporting muscles According to televised reports, Woods was dealing with a kink in his neck For a man who has undergone multiple back surgeries and captured a major championship on a broken leg such a setback hardly ranked as a medical emergency and Woods had opted to address it with a method used by many prominent athletes before The first iterations of KT Tape are said to have been developed in the 1970s by a Japanese chiropractor named Kenzo Kase But the tape only started grabbing mainstream headlines after the 2008 Olympics where beach volleyball star Kerri Walsh Jennings wore it on her way to winning gold A handful of companies now make stretchy athletic tapes intended to provide pain relief and muscular support The KT Tape that Woods wore Thursday is manufactured and sold by a Utah-based company of the same name designed for different activities and different skin types said that Woods was wearing KT Pro Black Tape which is made of synthetic fiber and is designed to last four to seven days longer than the three-day duration of the original cotton KT Tape Schleiden said he woke Thursday morning to messages from KT Tape CEO an avid golfer who was up early watching the action from Carnoustie The tape on Tiger’s neck had set the Twitter-sphere a-twitter KT Tape had posted an offer on its website: “25% off golfer’s flash sale.” How that translated into actual sales was too early to tell “because our sales normally peak after work and in the evening.” But based on past experiences with other high-profile athletes wearing KT Tape in big events (to wit: Tom Brady during the 2017 AFC Championship) Schleiden guesstimated that the Woods-driven publicity would prompt a 100 percent spike in sales Schleiden said the tape’s primary function was to provide “drug-free pain relief and support.” Applied correctly the tape “lifts and separates the tissue,” creating improved blood flow and helping the body to do its healing work Additional language on the company’s website notes that by lifting the skin the tape decompresses “the layers of fascia allowing for greater movement of lymphatic fluid which transports white blood cells throughout the body and removes waste products A asterisk-marked note on the same page reads: “Not proven clinically for all injuries.” But the company does cite numerous clinical studies confirming the efficacy of KT Tape for specific purposes those made by KT Tape are the source of some skepticism Though a spokesperson at the Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center said that no one at the clinic would be able to comment on the tape other medical experts have suggested that the tape’s main benefit may be psychological and play a positive role in an athlete’s mental preparation for an event head of sport and exercise sciences and director of sport at the University of Bedfordshire “The actual putting on of the tape sometimes is almost part of that ritual Only time will tell if tape will be part of the action during Tiger’s second round All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team young men selected by the party leadership were formed as future leadership elites There were training centers but also stages for self-expression for the greats of the NSDAP The former NS-Ordensburg Vogelsang in the Eifel National Park is one of the largest buildings of National Socialism and was a place of human contempt during the Nazi era The “order junkers were trained militarily and presented as the new elite of the party The image of the superiority of the “Aryan” gentleman was shaped above all by the subject “race theory” Today Vogelsang “Internationaler Platz” is a place that stands for tolerance Vogelsang is both a memorial and a lively place of remembrance culture where the past is documented and where uncomfortable questions are raised This is what the permanent exhibition "Purpose: Master NS-Ordensburgen between fascination and crime" stands for What kind of people came here to get an education With what hopes did the young men come here The exhibition deals with questions like these and focuses on specific perpetrators' actions and convictions The example of Vogelsang shows how much architecture was used to document the power and rule of the party video and image documents and objects provide an insight into life at the time
