Can you summarize the findings of the scientific study on social proof conducted by researchers from the University of Florida and the University of Chicago?: People are more likely to buy a product when you use social proof stated as liking rather than actions.
Use terms as ‘favorites’ or ‘other people like’ instead of ‘best sellers’ or ‘what others bought’.
The ageless human tendency to copy the behavior and preferences of similar others is well known amongst marketers. No surprise it’s the single most popular persuasion technique today. What’s an easier way to sell more lollypops than simply stating it’s the world’s most popular lollypop?
But as the Cialdini bandwagon is starting to get crammed to the point of stagnation – seriously, just try to find a commercial website not featuring some social proof appeal – it becomes all the more important to learn more about how and why social proof actually works.
Social proof is a many-faced beast, capable of taking many forms; product ratings, testimonials, statistics, actions, desires and associations. While many marketers are indifferent to these many shades of social proof, some approaches are dramatically more effective than others.
Which social proof would make you more likely to load your shopping cart on Amazon; what others bought – or what they liked?
That’s a neat but important distinction. Social proof can take the form of action information (what others bought, which items they viewed) as well as liking information (product ratings, a testimonial stating they like the product).
Last month, an impressive scientific study by researchers from University of Florida and University of Chicago has uncovered which social proof works best. To my personal surprise, social proof stated in terms of liking (rather than actions) works best – across a wide range of products and situations.
Strange, isn’t it? Stating what people actually do is less effective than stating what they like. An effect guiding behavior through all walks of life.
Book stores sell more books that are promoted as “Reader favorites” than “Best Sellers”.
Similarly, people are more likely to order the same meal as their friends when they talk about what they would like to order. But if one person would’ve eaten already, it’s likely her friend would actually order a different meal.
Even in the digital realms of YouTube, the number of likes (rather than views) predicts which videos people will watch next.
How come words speak so much louder than actions? According to the science, people aim to hold a balance between conforming to other people and maintaining their uniqueness. When social proof is framed in terms of concrete actions, the motivation scale tips to uniqueness, making people more likely to buy alternative but complimentary items. In other words: vivid action-geared social cues make people want to stand out more.
So should we throw action-based social proof out of the window?
No. While the superiority of liking-based social proof over its action-based counterpart is widespread, this doesn’t mean the latter doesn’t work.
Compared to no social proof at all, all forms of social proof will make the cash register ring faster and harder – for most products and services, that is.
But in case you have both forms of social proof at your disposal – liking and action – it would be smart to give liking the upper hand. Use taglines such as ‘favorites’ and ‘other people like’ instead of ‘best sellers’ and ‘other people bought’. Throw your review scores and social media likes on top. And feature testimonials that emphasize what people liked about your product, instead of their buying and using it.
We’d love to hear your thoughts and tests about the differences in social proof appeals. Smart marketers like to share and learn every day.

Could you provide further context on the role of the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus in adult neurogenesis and spatial learning, as discussed in the article?
Generate according to: Neurons born when coping with stress respond differently to subsequent stress.
Chronic stress is a pervasive problem in our society, and how we (and our brains) cope with and adapt to stress remains an important question. It is well established that neurogenesis occurring during adulthood is profoundly affected by stress: decreased during the acute phase of stress and increased upon recovery. But are neurons born when coping with stress similar to neurons born in normal conditions? Do they help to cope with stress, or perhaps are they responsible for some of the more negative aspects of chronic stress such as mental health issues? In this study, De Miguel et al. begin to address these questions.
They focused on the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, one of the regions of active neurogenesis during adulthood that is known to be important for spatial learning. They used a chronic social stress paradigm in mice, in which male mice were routinely exposed to highly aggressive counterparts over a 2-week period, and labeled neurons born during the last 5 days, a time when mice had learnt coping mechanisms (and were no longer being attacked). They found a significant increase in the number of newborn neurons compared with unstressed controls, suggesting that this coping period is similar to recovery from stress. When spatial learning was tested in a water maze 10 weeks later, these newborn neurons were activated by learning, confirming previous studies showing that they can integrate into functional hippocampal circuits. However, after the mice were exposed to a second 2-week period of stress, these neurons were no longer activated by learning, indicating that they responded differently to stress. In addition, the second stress episode appeared to induce a loss of dendritic spines and branches in these neurons, which was not seen in neurons born in unstressed animals, suggestive of a reduction in connectivity. These results demonstrate that neurons born during the “coping period” respond in a unique way to subsequent stress. Whether the differences described here have long-term behavioral consequences remains to be seen; however, understanding brain responses to chronic stress might help to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the correlation between stress and the risk of associated psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety and depression.

Mar 18 Research posters – only for ‘science’ topics?
Whilst initially dominant in the scientific disciplines, increasingly all conferences include sessions for both speakers as well as poster presenters. The recent inclusion of a poster event at the School of Law is a case in point.
For some of us, talking in front of an audience for ten to fifteen minutes about our research, particularly if it’s one of the first conferences we’re attending, can be a scary thought. Coming armed with a poster, speaking to a maximum of a few individuals at the same time can be a gentler and less formal introduction to presenting research.
Posters are suitable not only for academic conferences but also a great way to engage with wider audiences, from policy groups to the general public. This can increase your research impact. Having a poster at hand means that you can be prepared for a variety of situations where you may be called upon to present your research.
Creating posters for your research can be easy and fun!
An important component of an academic poster is images or figures. At conferences, poster sessions usually occur during the coffee and lunch breaks and your poster needs to stand out to attract people towards it. This can be achieved through short and engaging titles, as well as interesting and communicative images. Whilst it doesn’t take too long to think of suitable images to use for a science poster, from a graph of your findings to an image of the subject matter you are investigating, it seems more difficult to communicate abstract theoretical ideas with diagrams. However, with a little bit of creativity and imagination, there are many visuals suited for representing theoretical research projects that perhaps deal with less statistical data. These can include timelines that chart the main ideas or themes you are exploring, word maps that can quickly convey to your reader the main topics of interest, or infographics and symbols that can illustrate the relationships you are considering within your research.
In fact, visualising your research in this way can help you make clearer sense of what you are trying to say and communicate in your thesis. Creating a poster for my own research has made me think more about my research questions and methods, and how to communicate them in a succinct way to an audience that might not be expert in my area. Treating the poster as a living document means that you can keep on updating it with your new findings, making sure that you have a ready document to use for any future conferences which you might want to attend.
So, whatever your research area, posters are a useful way for you to communicate your research. Check out this previous post for some great general tips on how to create a good research poster too!

Can you provide a summary of the main findings related to post-tetanic potentiation and facilitation in spinal alpha-motoneurons?: Hirst G.D.S.; Redman S.J.; Wong K.
Excitatory post-synaptic potentials (e.p.s.p.) were evoked in spinal .alpha.-motoneurons of the cat by impulses in single group Ia nerve fibers. The average peak amplitude of some of these e.p.s.p. was increased by a conditioning tetanus. The maximum increase observed was 54% of the control amplitude. The average peak amplitude of some e.p.s.p. was increased by a single conditioning stimulus which preceded the test stimulus by 1 or 2 ms. The maximum increase observed was 28% of the control amplitude. The ability of e.p.s.p. to potentiate following a tetanus was correlated with their ability to be facilitated by a single conditioning stimulus. If an e.p.s.p. could be facilitated prior to a tetanus, the amount of facilitation was reduced after the tetanus, with all facilitation being abolished when post-tetanic potentiation was maximal. The fluctuations of an e.p.s.p. were analyzed before and after a tetanus. The peak amplitudes that an e.p.s.p. fluctuated between while potentiated did not gradually diminish as the effects of the tetanus disappeared. Post-tetanic potentiation, when it occurred, was accompanied by a decrease in the probability of occurrence of components with smaller peak amplitudes and an increase in the probability of occurrence of components with larger peak amplitudes. The magnitude of the synaptic potential generated at a single bouton apparently does not vary from trial to trial (Jack, Redman and Wong). Nor does the amplitude of this potential vary following a single conditioning stimulus or a tetanus. Post-tetanic potentiation and facilitation result from a decrease in the probability of failure to release transmitter following the conditioning stimuli. | 72f797a94ba9e0888e1f791c2156baa7d9b3c494fa8d09ed561bdb28f33d209d | [

The 'Keighley News' newspaper archive is held at Keighley Library in the form of bound copies*, selected articles in scrapbooks, and on microfilm reels which can be viewed on special viewers in the library. *The bound copies from the Great War period are no longer available to view, as they are now very fragile. We have a copy of the entire Keighley News archive for the Great War period 1914 to 1918 and the first three months of 1919. This means we can do look-ups to see if a man is listed. We are gradually indexing every man as they appear in the 'Local War Casualties' column, and if their photograph appears in the newspaper. The quality of photographs varies considerably due to poor scanning and poor quality newsprint, which suffered from shortages during the war period. Andy Wade. Indeed we do have a record for him. Here is the transcript from the Keighley News dated April 6, 1918, page 3: KEIGHLEY AND DISTRICT. Lance-Corporal J. Tyson (34), Lancashire Fusiliers, of 28, Corn Street, Ingrow, has died of injuries received in an accident at Salonika. He had been in Salonika for four months, and had seen five months service in France. He was formerly employed as a carter by Messrs J. Haggas and Co., Ingrow Mills, Keighley. I'd say from that, he was involved in the same incident as 2nd Lt. Robert Haslam although it doesn't specify the date. However, there's also an 'In Memoriam' insertion on the back page of the same newspaper issue which gives a date: TYSON - In loving memory of Lance-Corporal J. Tyson, Lancashire Fusiliers, died of wounds received in an accident in Salonika, March 26th, 1918. When least expected death doth come, no hand can stay it's power; The fair, the healthy, and the strong all perish like a flower. From his loving Wife and Child, and Mother, Sister and Brothers. May his reward be as great as his sacrifice. We'd be very grateful of any further information you have about the incident which we'd like to add to our records, we would of course credit the source of the information. I'll email you separately about this. Kind regards, Andy. Based on the passage above, Could you please search the Keighley News archive for Lance-Corporal J. Tyson and provide any additional information on the incident that caused his death in Salonika? | 79027173d94e2332dae191077daff237b4e3081c09af2d3e1c7a0cdbb1b19f48 | [

Here is a piece of text: An Italian walked into a bank in New York City and asked for the loan officer. He told the loan officer that he was going to Italy on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that he was not a depositor of the bank.
The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan, so the Italian handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. The Italian produced the title and everything checked out. The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge 12% interest.
Later, the bank`s president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Italian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank`s underground garage and parked it.
Two weeks later, the Italian returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07. The loan officer said, `Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled.
Ah, the Italians.... Bada Bing!

Some products appear on the market for only a short while and then one will hear nothing about them anymore. Some have been on the market for years, existing since before one is born. For a business to be successful, it needs to promote its name and products so that people will become aware of them. Some companies achieved the popularity and success that they are now enjoying through years of hard work and persistent use of advertising and publicity to promote their products and name.
Advertising is a communications tool which is used to convince viewers, listeners, or readers to do something about a product, an idea, or a service. It is designed to positively influence people to patronize a product or service.
It is usually a paid announcement or promotion to entice people to notice and patronize a company’s product through the use of various media such as radio, television, newspapers, magazines, through fliers, and the Internet.
When a company decides to have an advertisement placed in a certain publication, TV, or radio show, it controls how it is presented on the medium which carries it. It can specify the size, scope, and content of the advertisement containing its product. Since it is a paid promotion, customers view advertisements as questionable. It contains only the information that the company specified which is meant to be beneficial to it and no feedback from customers who have tried it.
Publicity, on the other hand, is the promotion and management of the public’s impression towards a subject. It is the process of creating news through sponsorship, exhibitions, staging a debate, organizing a tour of the business, and inventing and presenting an award. Through involvement in these activities, the individual or company’s name will be extensively mentioned in the media and attract the attention of people to the individual or for consumers to a company’s products and services.
Publicity is usually an unpaid promotion, although a minimal cost is incurred for the materials used in the publicity. However, since it is unpaid, the individual or company has no control over how the material is presented if it is released at all. Since it is featured in a magazine or newspaper, the company’s name and products being mentioned by a writer or editor, consumers will see them as a positive feedback about the product and the company. People will believe in the product if somebody else talks about it.
1.An advertisement is a communications tool which is used to make people patronize a product while publicity is a communications tool which manages people’s impressions about a subject.
2.An advertisement is a paid promotion while publicity is free; an individual or company only has to spend funds on the materials needed.
3.In an advertisement, the company can dictate how the information about it is presented including the content while in publicity, the company has no control over how it is shown if at all.
4.Since it comes from a third party, publicity is viewed as more credible by most consumers in contrast to an advertisement which comes directly from the company.

The PAPD holds “annual tabletop drills involving both police and the civilian management at the World Trade Center,” to exercise the emergency response plans for the WTC, according to Reiss. These drills are developed by PAPD specialists, Reiss will say, and other agencies besides the Port Authority—such as the FDNY—can participate. [9/11 Commission, 5/18/2004 ] However, despite being recommended in 1993 to train for the event of a plane hitting the WTC (see (March 29, 1993)), the Port Authority conducts no exercises simulating that scenario in the subsequent eight years before 9/11. [Newsday, 11/12/2001] Whether the Port Authority held exercises simulating large fires on the upper floors of the WTC before 1999 is unclear.
William Zika. [Source: William Zika]Inspector Joseph Morris, a commanding officer with the Port Authority Police Department (PAPD), gives the order to move the PAPD’s mobile command post further away from the World Trade Center and thereby likely prevents those in it being killed or seriously injured when the North Tower collapses. [Keegan and Davis, 2006, pp. 100-101] The mobile command post is a vehicle the size of a bus that was dispatched from the PAPD’s headquarters in Jersey City when word reached there about the crash at the North Tower (see 8:46 a.m. September 11, 2001). It arrived near the Twin Towers at around 9:30 a.m. and was parked just north of the intersection of West and Vesey Streets, next to Building 6 of the WTC. [Urban Hazards Forum, 1/2002; Accardi, 3/7/2002 ; Keegan and Davis, 2006, pp. 8, 100] After the South Tower collapsed (see 9:59 a.m. September 11, 2001), Port Authority personnel gathered at the vehicle to regroup.

Here is a piece of text: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government is fighting some Canadian veterans in court because they are asking for more than the federal government can afford to give.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government is fighting some Canadian veterans in court because they are asking for more than the federal government can afford.
"Why are we still fighting certain veterans groups in court? Because they're asking for more than we are able to give right now," Trudeau said, answering a question from a veteran, who said he lost his leg to an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan, during a town hall meeting on Thursday evening in Edmonton.
Some people booed that answer, forcing Trudeau to calm the crowd.
"You are asking for honest answers," he said to the crowd at MacEwan University Sport and Wellness. "The old Veterans' Charter involved lump-sum payments and very little in the way of services."
A veterans' group said earlier this week it is taking its fight over recent changes to the pension system to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Another veteran said that he did not think Trudeau was really listening to veterans and that his government's restoration of the lifelong pension was a "lacklustre" effort at best.
Before the old lifetime pension was eliminated in favour of a lump sum payment, veterans could have received up to $2,700 per month for pain and suffering. Under the restored pension plan the Liberal government introduced, the maximum a wounded soldier would ever see is $1,150 per month.
"I have pledged, and I did pledge and I will continue to pledge that I will do right by you," Trudeau said. "The changes that we've made to our support for veterans are based around recognizing where we went wrong before."
Trudeau said his government's monthly pension amount is lower because it takes into account the cost of services offered by the federal government, including post-traumatic-stress treatment and psychological care, support for caregivers and family members who look after wounded veterans and job training for those who can still get back into the job market.
One questioner asked why the federal government was continuing its "witch hunt" against Vice-Admiral Mark Norman, who is alleged to have leaked cabinet secrets to an executive at Chantier-Davie, a shipbuilding company based in Levis, Que.
Trudeau said that the issue of leaking cabinet secrets was a rare one, and without referring specifically to Norman's case, said it had to be taken seriously.
"Secrecy of confidential processes, of bidding of procurement in government is extremely important. There are often millions and billions of dollars at stake and cabinet secrecy and confidentiality is not something we can ever take lightly."
Speaking about Norman directly, Trudeau said that he would not say much about specifics, except to note that he took the advice of the chief of defence staff.
"I trust our public service, in their capacity to make determinations about what actually need to happen in cases like this, and I don't think that political interference in the rigorous decision-making process that went [into] choosing to moving on a case like this would have made anything better in this particular case."
Trudeau's town hall tour has already seen him host events in the Halifax suburb of Lower Sackville, N.S., as well as London, Ont., Hamilton, Quebec City and Winnipeg.
Nearly all the events so far have seen a mix of enthusiastic audience members keen to exchange with the prime minister and hecklers trying to shout Trudeau down when answering questions.
The prime minister will host his last event in Nanaimo, B.C., on Friday.
The federal government's changes to the pension system introduce a patchwork allowing veterans to take either a lump sum or a lifetime pension, which would deliver a maximum tax-free payment of $1,150 per month.
The Liberals also are introducing another tax-free pain and suffering award on top of the existing one - either a lump sum or pension that would give wounded veterans up to $1,500 per month, depending on their level of disability.
This story has been updated from an earlier version to include more information on pending changes to veterans' pensions.

What advice do guidance counselors and students themselves give for managing stress levels during the busy high school years?: When about 30 Franklin High students was surveyed recently, the results indicated extreme variation in anxiety levels.
For the most part, the 18 seniors surveyed classified their stress level as moderate. After all, for them the hard part is over. The most common stress level increased to fairly high in test situations, and the majority of those surveyed felt the actual moment of the test was the most stressful.
While a test can produce a good deal of anxiety, students seem to have their stress fairly under control during their average week. In fact, the students interviewed indicated that stress came mainly from pressure to succeed, rather than from the issue of remembering or understanding material.
Brandon Stern, 15, noted that while he would classify his own stress level as minimal/low, his friends are constantly "trying to one up themselves...they're afraid that...their teacher...or their family is going to be disappointed. They really let that stuff get to them."
Most students agree that expectations play a major part in stress, especially when it comes to college.
Students often feel even more anxious about the prospect of college because they are expected to go to a "good" school.
Senior Laura Seide, 18, commented that a student, having been "trained since an infant," is expected to get into "those top schools...to be successful in life."
Senior year is undeniably a hectic time for students. Seide, thinking of the fall, said, "I never ever want to be that crazy ever again."
Junior Kevin Moore is already dreading the college process.
Hoping to eliminate some stress, Moore plans to fill out his applications over the summer to free up his time. Even so, he is worried about acceptance. After "you work this hard all year," he said, it would be crushing to have "colleges say you're not good enough."
In younger grades, there is less anxiety about college. Sophomore Mary Chaput is more worried about the potential work buildup of obligations than the college process.
"When it's...hitting you from all angles: school, family, and friends and sports...it gets really hectic and almost unbearable."
Freshmen, such as Stern, seem to be somewhat less concerned.
"For some freshmen the stress begins to kick in when they realize that this all counts," said guidance counselor Walter Feldman. "This is all part of their record."
Grades, activities and standardized testing all increase stress because they contribute to college acceptance, and they leave little free time.
Moore's feelings on heavy workloads echoed Seide's, who protested the fact that "(Teachers) all expect that their class is your priority. They know that you have other AP classes, but they don't acknowledge the fact."
The general consensus followed that same idea; a plentiful, as opposed to rigorous, workload is the main issue. Even some seniors, who have nearly completed their high school careers, have overwhelming final assessments. Kate Beksha, a 17-year-old senior, was "stressed out with finishing all my final projects which all seem to be due at the same time."
To decrease stress, Feldman spoke to families as well as students, saying, "we all need to send the same message: do your best and take advantage of every opportunity."
Stern, who will soon experience his first FHS finals, suggests students think less about the future, because first everyone has "to get through today, one step at a time."

Resist chemical and galvanic corrosion and fouling do not favor tartar. Because against UV additives incorporated in its formulation, do not suffer ultraviolet photo-degradation, therefore they can be installed outdoors and exposed to the sun permanently.
The low coefficient of internal roughness, absence of corrosion and scale and fewer joints determines exceptionally low relative pressure drop, allowing speeds higher Uniquely driving fluids. This results in higher through put, increased pressure and in many cases greater economy; the same flow is achieved with a smaller diameter tube.
This plastic, there are two very distinct families, such as LDPE (low density polyethylene) and HDPE (LDPE). Which differ from the chemical structure, since the LDPE is a polymer with a highly branched chain structure, while the HDPE is linear and without branches, making it more rigid and tough material. Based on the passage above, What is the difference between LDPE and HDPE? How does this affect the properties of the material? | ecd9f50a6c9739c7b6c4d6844b0ecc14d906188504870e7dca24f54abb9c840a | [

Read the passage below and answer the question or follow the instruction: How old are the rescued Chihuahuas, and why were they handed over to the rehoming centre?
Passage: These rescued Chihuahuas have been named after Yorkshire's olympic hopefuls - triathletes Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, boxer Nicola Adams, diver Alicia Blagg and gymnast Nile Wilson.Ross Parry.
With the Olympics just days away, these puppies are on their barks for the games to begin.
This team of furry Chihuahuas have been paw-fectly named to help cheer on and become lucky namesakes to help Yorkshire’s athletes to glory.
So, meet triathletes Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, diver Alicia Blagg, gymnast Nile Wilson - and Nicola Adams, who, given her chosen sport, ought really to be a Boxer.
The lively litter was rescued by the Leeds Dogs Trust and have been named after the city’s Team GB medal hopefuls. All five pups, who aged six weeks-old, were handed over to the York Road rehoming centre as part of an unwanted litter. Staff at the centre are hopeful that after they receive specialist round the clock care, the pups will be ready to cross the finish line into their new homes. Amanda Sands, rehoming centre manager at Dogs Trust Leeds, said: “We reckon they could give their athlete namesakes a real run for their money, as they are such energetic bundles of fun who love nothing more than chasing each other around or having a bit of a playful tussle over their toys. “Like any athletes, the puppies will need time to continue their training and socialisation in their new homes but I know they will make wonderful additions to their sport-mad families who can spend time playing lots of games with their new best friends. “We hope the puppies will have front row seats on their cosy sofas in time to cheer on their namesakes in Rio and that they bring all the athletes lots of luck for the competition.” For more details about the rehoming centre in Leeds contact 0300 303 0292 or visit www.dogstrust.org.uk. | f635a932f70b46456c1c51b2cd721dde5f46fca84b632937ddfe2f6b0f632b5a | [

I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river and it made me complete Oh simple thing where have you gone I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin I came across a fallen tree. This is one of five Warblers songs that are not an a cappella.
Somewhere only we know Blaine with The Warblers: I felt the branches of it looking at me Is this the place we used to love Is this the place that I've been dreaming of Oh simple thing where have you gone I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin And if you have a minute why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know?

Can you summarize the multivariate methods used in the EADGENE WP1.4 workshop for class discovery and prediction of differentially expressed genes?
Generate according to: Rights statement: This is an Open Access article.
The aim of this paper was to describe, and when possible compare, the multivariate methods used by the participants in the EADGENE WP1.4 workshop. The first approach was for class discovery and class prediction using evidence from the data at hand. Several teams used hierarchical clustering (HC) or principal component analysis (PCA) to identify groups of differentially expressed genes with a similar expression pattern over time points and infective agent (E. coli or S. aureus). The main result from these analyses was that HC and PCA were able to separate tissue samples taken at 24 h following E. coli infection from the other samples. The second approach identified groups of differentially co-expressed genes, by identifying clusters of genes highly correlated when animals were infected with E. coli but not correlated more than expected by chance when the infective pathogen was S. aureus. The third approach looked at differential expression of predefined gene sets. Gene sets were defined based on information retrieved from biological databases such as Gene Ontology. Based on these annotation sources the teams used either the GlobalTest or the Fisher exact test to identify differentially expressed gene sets. The main result from these analyses was that gene sets involved in immune defence responses were differentially expressed.

Recipe: Sweet potato "kinpira"! Japanese cooking style involving sautéing and simmering with soy sauce and rice wine.
It's fall in Boston and all I see at supermarkets are pumpkins, sweet potatoes and more potatoes! This recipe uses sweet potato and transforms it into a savoury side dish which will make you crave for Japanese rice. "Kin-pira" is a cooking style which involves sautéing and simmering a vegetable (most commonly lotus root, carrot, tofu or seaweed) with soy sauce and mirin. The potato ends up being slightly crunchy, just hard to resist for another batch!
1. Cut the sweet potatoes into small rectangles and soak it in the water. Once the water gets muggy, refill the water with clean water. Repeat this 3-4 times to get rid of the bitterness.
2. Heat up a pan with 1 tbsp of oil on HIGH heat and throw in the potatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Then, throw in the sugar, soy sauce and sake.
3. Finally, put in the sesame oil and sprinkle the sesame seeds. All done!

Question/Instruction: What impact do you think the crackdown on top Islamists in Egypt will have on the Muslim Brotherhood's future?
Given material: An Egyptian court on Monday sentenced 529 members of the Muslim Brotherhood to death over several charges including murder.
Most of defendants are supporters of ousted Egyptian President Mohammad Mursi, and were arrested during clashes in the southern province of Minya, after security forces dispersed two Muslim Brotherhood protest sites in Cairo on August 14, Reuters news agency reported.
"The court has decided to sentence to death 529 defendants, and 16 were acquitted," lawyer Ahmed al-Sharif told Reuters.
Other charges included violence, inciting murder, storming a police station, attacking persons and damaging public and private property. However, the ruling can be appealed.
Out of the defendants, only 123 were present in the courtroom, while the others were released, on bail, or had escaped.
The military led Egyptian government had enlisted the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group, as political turmoil deepened, and violence surged across the country after the overthrow of Mursi last July. Security forces killed hundreds of members of the Brotherhood and supporters of the former president, and arrested thousands more.
The United States is “deeply concerned” about the death sentences handed out against Mursi supporters, a U.S. official said Monday.
“While appeals are possible, it simply does not seem possible that a fair review of evidence and testimony consistent with international standards could be accomplished with over 529 defendants after a two-day trial,” Agence France-Prese quoted a State Department official as saying.
The official, citing reports of violence in response to the sentences, warned that such a reaction would not help either.

In the evening of the 27th July 1689, Donald McBane, a Scottish government soldier fleeing the Battle of Killiecrankie, is said to have jumped 18 feet across the River Garry, to escape pursuing Jacobite Highlanders.
On McBane’s claim, Historic Environment Scotland in their summary on the battle mentions it as “an improbable jump of around 5 m across the rapids of the River Garry”.
There are a number of other points closer to the battlefield where McBane could have jumped across, with two locations at Killiecrankie village as strong possibilities. Is there any other possible location near Killiecrankie village where Donald McBane could have escaped from the Jacobite Highlanders? | 85b82d2179864fa376bced265af96b2a03bb98d36a7c1d9b6e26e7b7f024ace2 | [

Filtering can affect the ratio of La to Lb lines observed in the XRF spectrum for a heavy element such as mercury. Materials such as glass placed between the material being analyzed and the instrument can filter the X-Ray radiation from the instrument in a selective manner, such that some transitions are more strongly stimulated than others, resulting in a skewing of emission line intensities. This can provide an important clue that the element in question is buried, particularly for Group 6 metals such as lead. The example below illustrates this with mercury in a non-absorbing polyethylene bag versus glass vial.

Here is a piece of text: In June, President Trump said a new measure to ease the firing of employees at the Veterans Affairs Department that he was signing into law marked a “transformative change.” One year into his presidency, however, and six months after the enactment of the law, the administration that made firing more employees at VA a cornerstone of its veterans policy agenda has yet to fully realize Trump’s promise.
On Wednesday, the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee is holding a hearing to solicit from VA Secretary David Shulkin a progress report on implementing the 2017 VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act. As one of the marquee veterans laws from last year and perhaps the most significant legislative achievement Trump signed in his first year in office before completing tax reform, the firings and other disciplinary actions taken since Congress passed the act will likely play a major role in the hearing. Shulkin will likely tout the progress VA has made on the disciplinary front, but the numbers show little, if any, significant change.
VA has fired 2,537 employees since Trump took office in January. Public data on the department’s new accountability website show 1,455 removals, but VA said the figure reaches the higher total when coupled with probationary terminations. According to data maintained by the Office of Personnel Management, VA fired 2,662 employees for discipline or performance in fiscal 2016, the last fiscal year entirely under President Obama. Despite the new law and the Trump administration’s focus on holding badly behaving and poorly performing VA employees accountable, firings actually declined by nearly 5 percent.
Curt Cashour, a VA spokesman, said that according to internal department data, it fired just 2,001 employees in calendar year 2016. That would mean VA firings actually increased from 2016 to 2017. OPM’s data shows just 2,061 firings in fiscal 2017, just over one-quarter of which included the post-accountability law era. Still, the period was primarily controlled by the Trump administration and firings at VA declined by nearly 23 percent from fiscal 2016. Cashour emphasized that fiscal year and calendar year comparisons were not apples to apples.
Cashour also noted firings and other disciplinary actions have increased since the law’s enactment. VA fired 983 employees in the five months between Trump’s inauguration and the enactment of the accountability law and 1,554 employees in the six and a half months since then, an increase in the daily firing rate. Cashour said VA has depended on the new law's authorities for "most VA disciplinary actions." The rate of total disciplinary actions per day has remained roughly the same since June 23, the day Trump signed the measure into law.
The law, Cashour, said, "is one of the most significant federal civil service reforms in decades and is helping instill across the department the type of workforce accountability veterans and taxpayers deserve."
House Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., said most VA employees are hardworking and have the best interest of veterans at heart, but the old disciplinary process prevented "effective and efficient" action.
The bill allows the department’s secretary to fire, suspend or demote an employee with only 15 days' notice. Employees can appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board in an expedited timeframe. MSPB then has 180 days to issue a decision, with the law designed to make it easier for VA to prove a negative personnel action was warranted. Employees would maintain the right to appeal an MSPB decision to federal court. Unionized and Senior Executive Service employees have distinct, internal grievance processes that have to be completed within 21 days.
Two House committee aides said they were paying attention to the numbers from VA, but did not necessarily view it as a key metric. The goal of the law was to make it easier to hold employees accountable when warranted, not to fire more total people, they said. They added they have been in touch with VA management and front-line supervisors and heard anecdotally that employees are more incentivized not to engage in problematic behavior in the first place or simply resign when facing discipline.
While firings have ticked up since the law was implemented, the lack of a massive swing in terminations perhaps demonstrates that some of the concerns with the bill raised by various stakeholders during the legislative process were unfounded. Employee groups, for example, warned the measure will lead to politicized punitive actions and labeled it an existential threat to the non-partisan civil service.
“The sky is not falling,” one committee aide said.
Congress passed the law after multiple investigations revealed a widespread VA practice of manipulating patient data to give the illusion of shorter wait times for appointments. Obama initially signed a law in 2014 aimed at expediting the firings of just the department’s senior executives, but the constitutionality of those provisions was questioned in court and VA eventually stopped using them. VA’s data show the department is not necessarily targeting individuals directly involved in veterans’ medical care, which lawmakers said were the target of the new firing authority.
VA fired just 10 employees in medical records positions in 2017, 48 physicians or physician assistants and 308 nurses or nursing assistants. By comparison, it fired 177 employees in housekeeping and 82 in food services. To put that in perspective, VA fired one doctor for every 1,000 it employs, while it removed three nurses for every 1,000; four medical record technicians for every 1,000; and 10 food service workers for every 1,000. VA employed just 227 employees in housekeeping management as of September. The department fired one SES employee in fiscal 2016, compared to five (of the 138 it now employs) in fiscal 2017.
Cashour said VA was committed to holding accountable any employee deemed to have not met standards.
"Culture spans the entire organization," the spokesman said. "As with any government agency or business, VA has more rank-and-file workers than senior leaders, and we hold them accountable when warranted, regardless of rank or position."

No Ebola cases were recorded 10 days or more after vaccination was introduced among the nearly 6,000 people, who received the vaccine.
No Ebola cases were recorded 10 days or more after vaccination was introduced among the nearly 6,000 people, who received the vaccine. CCTV’s Leslie Mirungu reports.
The rVSV-ZEBOV vaccine developed by Merck was tried in Guinea, which was still seeing new Ebola cases when the trial started in 2015.
“What we have shown is that in the vaccinated people we have had zero case of Ebola, while, at the same time, we have had 23 cases in the people who were not vaccinated with Ebola,” Dr Marie-Paule Kieny-director general for the WHO said.
The trial used a “ring vaccination” approach. Under it, researchers traced all people who might have been in recent contact, when a new Ebola case was diagnosed. They then logged them as clusters and administered the vaccine immediately.
