Neurochemical differences in learning and memory paradigms among rats supplemented with anthocyanin-rich blueberry diets and exposed to acute doses of 56Fe particles.
The protective effects of anthocyanin-rich blueberries (BB) on brain health are well documented and are particularly important under conditions of high oxidative stress, which can lead to "accelerated aging." One such scenario is exposure to space radiation, consisting of high-energy and -charge particles (HZE), which are known to cause cognitive dysfunction and deleterious neurochemical alterations. We recently tested the behavioral and neurochemical effects of acute exposure to HZE particles such as 56Fe, within 24-48h after exposure, and found that radiation primarily affects memory and not learning. Importantly, we observed that specific brain regions failed to upregulate antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms in response to this insult. To further examine these endogenous response mechanisms, we have supplemented young rats with diets rich in BB, which are known to contain high amounts of antioxidant-phytochemicals, prior to irradiation. Exposure to 56Fe caused significant neurochemical changes in hippocampus and frontal cortex, the two critical regions of the brain involved in cognitive function. BB supplementation significantly attenuated protein carbonylation, which was significantly increased by exposure to 56Fe in the hippocampus and frontal cortex. Moreover, BB supplementation significantly reduced radiation-induced elevations in NADPH-oxidoreductase-2 (NOX2) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and upregulated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in the hippocampus and frontal cortex. Overall results indicate that 56Fe particles may induce their toxic effects on hippocampus and frontal cortex by reactive oxygen species (ROS) overload, which can cause alterations in the neuronal environment, eventually leading to hippocampal neuronal death and subsequent impairment of cognitive function. Blueberry supplementation provides an effective preventative measure to reduce the ROS load on the CNS in an event of acute HZE exposure.


Q:

Control view of Multi polygon in Google map

We have multipolygon WKT. We have no issue to draw all of them in Google map.
Below are the codes. The only issue is that we want only the first polygon to be visible but the rest to transparent. How to control on that? Any idea please?
function drawPoly(data, pl) {
    var pointsData = data.split(",");
    var cords = [];

    // iterate over each points data and create a latlong
    // & add it to the cords array
    var len = pointsData.length;
    for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
        var xy = pointsData[i].split(" ");

        var pt = new google.maps.LatLng(xy[1], xy[0]);
        cords.push(pt);
    }

    // now add it to the map
    // Construct the polygon
    alert("I=" + pl);
    var polygonFirst = "";
    if (pl == 0) {
        var polygon1 = new google.maps.Polygon({
            paths : cords,
            strokeColor : '#1E90FF',
            strokeOpacity : 0.8,
            strokeWeight : 2,
            fillColor : '#1E90FF',
            fillOpacity : 0.35,
            zIndex : 1
        });
        // polygon1.setMap(map);
    } else {
        var polygon2 = new google.maps.Polygon({
            paths : cords,
            strokeColor : '#1122AA',
            strokeOpacity : 1,
            strokeWeight : 2,
            zIndex : 1
        });
        // polygon2.setZIndex(1);
        polygon2.setMap(map);
    }

}

A:

I have just put together the following function. I hope it will help you! It return an array of the polylines contained in the multipolygon with the first styled to your requirements. Please let me know if this was useful to you! p.s.: You will have to set the map property of the polylines later, as the resulting polylines do not have their map property set to your map in my code.

Q:

Matlab rejection sampling points not displayed

I am using the following code for Pi approximation, using the rejection sampling method.
% DISPLAY A CIRCLE INSCRIBED IN A SQUARE

figure;
a = 0:.01:2*pi;
x = cos(a); y = sin(a);
hold on
plot(x,y,'k','Linewidth',2)

t = text(0.5, 0.05,'r');
l = line([0 1],[0 0],'Linewidth',2);
axis equal
box on
xlim([-1 1])
ylim([-1 1])
title('Unit Circle Inscribed in a Square')

pause;
rand('seed',12345)
randn('seed',12345)
delete(l); delete(t);

% DRAW SAMPLES FROM PROPOSAL DISTRIBUTION
samples = 2*rand(2,100000) - 1;

% REJECTION
reject = sum(samples.^2) > 1;

% DISPLAY REJECTION CRITERION
scatter(samples(1,~reject),samples(2,~reject),'b.')
scatter(samples(1,reject),samples(2,reject),'rx')
hold off
xlim([-1 1])
ylim([-1 1])

The expected result should be a blue circle inside of a red square. When I run the code the red point for building the square are displayed, but the blue point not.
The expected result should be as the picture found at this Link
But I get the following result:

Does anybody know what I can possibly do in order to visualize the blue points as well? Thanks in advance.

A:

The scatter function is probably not the best choice for such huge number of points. Try this instead:
t = 0:.01:2*pi;
x = cos(t); y = sin(t);

samples = 2*rand(2,100000) - 1;
reject = sum(samples.^2) > 1;

props = {'LineStyle','none', 'Marker','.', 'MarkerSize',1};
line(x, y, 'Color','k', 'LineWidth',2)
line(samples(1,~reject), samples(2,~reject), props{:}, 'Color','b')
line(samples(1,reject), samples(2,reject), props{:}, 'Color','r')
axis equal; axis([-1 1 -1 1])

Former Enron CEO Denied Release to Attend Son's Funeral

The U.S. Bureau of Prisons has denied a request by former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling for a temporary release from prison to attend his son's funeral, CNBC has learned. No reason was given for the denial.

John Taylor "J.T." Skilling was found dead in his Santa Ana, California, apartment last week. Skilling, 20, was a college sophomore. The cause of death is undetermined, pending toxicology results.

Jeffrey Skilling's attorney, Daniel Petrocelli, says the younger Skilling was buried yesterday. Jeffrey Skilling is four years into a 24-year prison sentence for his role in Enron's collapse. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is considering Skilling's bid for a new trial.


The present invention relates to fishing lures. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fishing lure having a movable weight system for changing the position of the lure""s center of gravity while fishing.
Sport fishing is enjoyed around the world. From fresh water to salt water, a wide variety of fish species exist. Fishermen employ a variety of equipment and tackle depending upon the water being fished, the time of day, the species of fish sought, personal choice, and many other factors. A fishing lure, sometimes referred to as an artificial lure, is frequently a part of such equipment and tackle.
Fishing lures are typically designed and decorated with the goal of replicating or mimicking the movement and appearance of a food source for the particular fish being sought. For example, such lure may take on the shape of a minnow, tadpole, frog, mouse, insect, salamander, another fish, or such other food source. The fisherman""s hope is that by having a lure closely resembling or acting like a source of food, fish will be enticed into biting the lure.
In an effort to make the lure aesthetically realistic, a designer can use materials pigmented with the desired colors. For example, colored plastics or rubber may be used. In addition, a designer can paint or stain the external surface of the lure to achieve the desired color and marking characteristics. Decorative features such as scales, eyes, and fins may be painted onto the surface or otherwise added to the lure.
Lures can also be designed with features that make the lure realistic in a functional manner. Fins, diving planes, spinners, rattles and the like may be added in order to make the lure move and sound like a food source. Some lures may be specifically designed to operate on the water surface while others may function only when below.
Generally speaking, artificial lures are frequently deployed by casting the lure, while attached to fishing line, to a desired location within the water and then retrieving the lure using a reel. Anglers may use a variety of casting and retrieval techniques depending on a combination of personal preferences, the type of fish being sought, and the nature of the water being fished. The ability to precisely position the lure at or near particular structure, vegetation, or such other target is generally preferred and may be essential to hooking and landing a catch.
Aside from the skills of each individual angler, several factors about a lure car affect the angler""s ability to precisely locate and retrieve a lure during casting. For example, the lure""s overall shape, the weight of the lure, and the location of the point of attachment to the fishing line can affect the flight path of the lure during casting and the swim path of the lure during retrieval. Another factor is the lure""s center of gravity. More specifically, the location of the center of gravity may affect the precision with which the lure can be cast as well as the movement of the lure as it is worked and retrieved by the angler. For certain lures, the most effective location for the center of gravity of a lure while casting may not be identical to the best location when the lure is being retrieved. A lure capable of shifting its center of gravity to maximize the overall effectiveness of the lure depending upon whether the lure is being cast or retrieved would be preferred.
Objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the following description, or may be obvious from the description, or may be learned through practice of the invention.
The present invention provides a fishing lure having a movable weight system for changing the position of the lure""s center of gravity during fishing. By having a movable weight system, the lure""s center of gravity may be positioned at two different locations within the lure depending upon whether the lure is being cast or retrieved. During casting, the weights are moved towards the rear of the lure so as to similarly change the lure""s center of gravity. With the fishing line generally attached towards the front portion of the lure, a rearward center of gravity generally results in a lure that can be cast farther and with more accuracy than a lure having the same shape but lacking the movable weight system. While the exact reasons for this result are unknown, it is believed that a lure without such a weight system tends to tumble or rotate during casting so as to unfavorably affect the flight path and retard velocity. Tumbling or rotation of a lure during casting also may have the undesirable effect of entangling the hooks on the lure in the fishing line attached to the lure.
In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a fishing lure is constructed from a body having an interior channel that is oriented longitudinally with the body. The body may have any desired shape including, for example, any of a variety of baitfish or other food sources. The body may also be decorated with various ornamental features and colors as desired. In addition, diving planes, fins, or other items may be added to the lure to affect the characteristics of the lure""s swim path during retrieval and to enhance the visual effectiveness of the lure. In certain alternative embodiments, the body may be constructed as an insert that is placed inside a shellxe2x80x94with the shell providing the overall shape of the lure to which features or decoration may be added.
Continuing with the exemplary embodiment being described, a loop configured for the receipt of a hook may be connected to the body of the lure. By way of example only, the loop may be constructed from wire or may be formed as part of the body. The loop may be located where desired on the body. Alternatively, the body may be provided with multiple loops positioned as desired along the body. A hook may be attached to any one of the loops. The hook may be of a size and shape as desired for the particular size lure body being used. Optionally, the hook may be a treble hook. Mechanisms other than a loop may also be used for attaching a hook or hooks to the lure body. In general, a loop or other mechanism may be also provided for attaching the fishing line to the lure body. Such mechanism is typically positioned towards the front of the lure body but this is not required.
This exemplary embodiment includes a plurality (two or more) of weights that are configured for movement along the interior channel of the lure body. While such weights may be constructed from any number of materials, typically a dense metal such as lead or steel is employed. The weights may be cylindrically-shaped or generally circular to facilitate movement along the interior channel. Grooves or changes in the outer radius of the weights may also be employed to help guide the movement of the weights within the interior channel. While the present embodiment under discussion includes a plurality of such weights, it should be understood that a lure body having a single movable weight is within the scope of the present invention.
Also included with this particular exemplary embodiment is a lock mechanism that is configured to move along the interior channel in conjunction with the plurality of weights. The lock mechanism includes a retractable boss that is positioned within the lock mechanism. When the lure is being retrieved through the water, the retractable boss is located in an extended position so as to secure the position of the lock mechanism at the front of the lure during the retrieve and thereby also maintain the plurality of weights towards the front of the lure. For casting, the retractable boss has a retracted position for allowing the lock mechanism to move to the rear of the lure and thereby position the weights at the rear of the lure during the cast.
To assist the lock mechanism with securing the position of the plurality of weights, other features may by added to the interior channel. By way of example, the interior channel may include an incline in the longitudinal direction moving from the head section to the tail section of the body. A recess may also be included in the interior channel for receipt of the retractable boss. Upon landing in the water after the cast, the weights are located toward the rear or tail section of the lure body. As the lure is retrieved the weights travel down the incline and are secured into position by insertion of the retractable boss into the recess. Features may also be added to the lock mechanism to facilitate its operation. By way of example only, the lock mechanism may be equipped with a pocket for receipt of at least one of the plurality of weights. Such a feature would allow the lock mechanism to travel with the plurality of weights along the interior channel during casting and retrieval. The lock mechanism and retractable boss are just one example of features for positioning the weights during casting and retrieval; other examples are within the scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims that follow.
These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following description and appended claims. The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate an embodiment of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.


Q:

How achieve Image.Clone() in WPF?

I obtain an array of byte (byte[]) from db and render into a Image Control using the following method :
    public Image BinaryImageFromByteConverter(byte[] valueImage)
    {
        Image img = new Image();
        byte[] bytes = valueImage as byte[];
        MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(bytes);
        BitmapImage image = new BitmapImage();
        image.BeginInit();
        image.StreamSource = stream;
        image.EndInit();
        img.Source = image;
        img.Height = 240;
        img.Width = 240;
        return img;
    }

So now that is rendered, I want to "copy" the Image.Source from Image (Control) to another element, for example : Paragraph..
paragraph1.Inlines.Add(new InlineUIContainer(ImageOne));

but nothings appears, I try to create a new Image using ImageOne.Source but I just found this example with Uri(@"path"), I cant apply this method cause my BitmapImage comes from a byte[] type
Image img = new Image();
img.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"c:\icons\A.png"));

Helps with this issue please, thanks!

A:

Just create a new Image element and set its source to the same BitmapImage:
byte[] imageInfo = File.ReadAllBytes("IMG_0726.JPG");

BitmapImage image;

using (MemoryStream imageStream = new MemoryStream(imageInfo))
{
    image = new BitmapImage();
    image.BeginInit();
    image.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad;
    image.StreamSource = imageStream;
    image.EndInit();
}

this.mainImage.Source = image;
this.secondaryImage.Source = image;

It also works if you just copy one source to the other:
this.mainImage.Source = image;
this.secondaryImage.Source = this.mainImage.Source;


Q:

Prove vector space is the direct sum of subspace and its orthogonal complement

$V$ is finite-dimensional over $\Bbb{C}$ and the form $\langle \cdot , \cdot \rangle$ is Hermitian. $U$ is a subspace of $V$.
Show that $V = U \oplus U^\perp$

I've been able to show that $U \cap U^\perp = \{0\}$. I don't know how to approach the problem showing that every vector $v\in V$ can be written as $v = u + u'$, where $u, u'$ are in $U$ and $U^\perp$ respectively.

A:

Let $\{e_1,\ldots,e_k\}$ be an orthonormal basis of the subspace $U$. For each $v\in V$, let$$P(v)=\sum_{j=1}^k\langle v,e_j\rangle e_j.$$Then$$(\forall v\in V):v=\overbrace{P(v)}^{\phantom{U}\in U}+\overbrace{\bigl(v-P(v)\bigr)}^{\phantom{U^\perp}\in U^\perp}.$$The fact that $v-P(v)\in U^\perp$ can be justified as follows: if $j\in\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$, then\begin{align}\bigl\langle v-P(v),e_j\bigr\rangle&=\left\langle v-\sum_{l=1}^k\langle v,e_l\rangle e_l,e_j\right\rangle\\&=\langle v,e_j\rangle-\langle v,e_j\rangle\\&=0.\end{align}Since $\{e_1,\ldots,e_k\}$ is a basis of $U$, this proves that $v-P(v)\in U^\perp$.


Q:

javascript variable showing unexpected result

Why I'm getting a ReferenceError: can't find variable lang1 in the console?
If lang exists shouldn't lang1 exist too?...

    <input id="datetimepicker" type="text" placeholder="Datetimerpicker">
        <input id="lang" type="text" placeholder="language" value="en">
select language

And shouldn't lang = "en"? I'm getting lang = <input id="lang" type="text" placeholder="language" value="en"> in the console

A:

If you want to use the browser debugging tools for your function, you have to do things the way the tools intend.  Just typing lang and lang1 into the console command prompt won't really do what you want. In this case, the symbol lang will refer to the global symbol created by implication from your use of lang as the "id" of the <input> field.
You can use the tools to set a breakpoint in your event handler. One easy way is to add a debugger statement to the start of the "click" handler:
 $(".select").click(function(){
    debugger;
    var lang = $('#lang').val();
    var lang1 = lang;
});

From that point, the debugging tools will provide a way for you to look at the values of variables in the active function (and the functions that got you there).

A:

You can not reference the lang and lang1 in the console since they are local to the click's closure. The reason why lang is defined in the console is it will use any element id that matches your variable. Change the variable to langX and you will have the same error.


Loxahatchee (Fla.) Seminole Ridge is home to Kyle Shortridge, a three-star defensive tackle that is being targeted by West Virginia with an offer from the Mountaineers earlier this week. And the 6-foot-2, 273-pounder currently has WVU among his top three options.

Shortridge has offers from West Virginia, Louisville, South Florida, Minnesota, Indiana and Western Kentucky, but at this point he's favoring the first three on that list.

"The programs; I really like the programs and I like how their defense plays and how they organize stuff on their defense," he said.


Q:

reseed sql server identity columns

I reseed identity columns like this:
EXEC sp_MSforeachtable "DBCC CHECKIDENT ( '?', RESEED, 0)"

Query throws me an error if there's no identity in the table. But I still need to reseed identity for all tables in the database that have an identity. (And do not throw an error if there's no identity)

A:

Are all the tables really empty?
DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(MAX) = N'';

SELECT @sql = @sql + N'DBCC CHECKIDENT('''
    + QUOTENAME(OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME([object_id]))
    + '.' + QUOTENAME(OBJECT_NAME([object_id]))
    + ''', RESEED, 0);' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
    FROM sys.columns
    WHERE is_identity = 1;

PRINT @sql;
-- EXEC sp_executesql @sql;


Neuromuscular problems in the orofacial region: diagnosis-classification, signs and symptoms.
In the light of recent findings, it is clear that organic changes in the tissues of the temporomandibular joint commonly occur simultaneously with neuromuscular problems. It is suggested that the term "masticatory disorder' should be adopted in order that diagnosis will fully reflect this inter-relationship. Patients with masticatory disorders will exhibit one or more of the following signs and symptoms: (a) pain and tenderness in the region of the masticatory muscles and TMJ, (b) incoordination and sounds during condylar movement and (c) limitation of mandibular movement. Diagnosis which relies solely on subjective symptoms is incomplete and the progressive nature of the condition requires careful attention to the prognosis. A diagnostic classification of masticatory disorders is given in Table II and the characteristics of each of the conditions listed is described in greater detail in the text.


Prodrug strategies based on intramolecular cyclization reactions.
Several new prodrug systems for amines, alcohols, and peptides are reviewed. The design of these new prodrug systems takes advantage of several facile intramolecular cyclization reactions, that permit separate manipulation of the release kinetics independent of the structural features of the drug moiety. Such systems can be used for the preparation of esterase-, phosphatase-, and redox-sensitive prodrugs of amines and alcohols and esterase-sensitive cyclic prodrugs of peptides and peptide mimetics.


# Get Access to an OpenShift 4 Cluster

At the time of this writing, OpenShift 4.3 is the latest release of Red Hat's OpenShift Kubernetes distribution. This is a Red Hat licensed product, it is not available as free download. (There is an OKD 4.3 preview but I won't cover that.)

Here are two options to get access to OpenShift:

## Option 1: CloudReady Containers (CRC)

This option allows to run OpenShift 4.3 on your own laptop **without purchasing an OpenShift license**. It is called CodeReady Containers (`crc`) and is the 'official' successor to MiniShift.

CRC is available for Mac, Linux, and Windows 10, and it uses native virtualization to run OpenShift, namely Hyperkit for Mac, Hyper-V for Windows, and KVM for Linux.

These instructions have been tested with CRC version 1.4.0 (which includes OpenShift version 4.2.13).

Red Hat supports CRC on Windows 10 Pro and Home (with Fall Creator's Update), and on the Linux side it is only supported officially on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, and current versions of Fedora. Users of Ubuntu and other Linux distributions currently may have to perform additional configuration on their machines. This is due to different approaches in network name resulution (dnsmasq vs systemd-resolved). You can find information on [CRC Github Issues](https://github.com/code-ready/crc/issues). Hopefully this will be fixed in the future.

**Start with the official CRC installation documentation [here](https://cloud.redhat.com/openshift/install/crc/installer-provisioned).**

You need a Red Hat account to access this page, and you can register for an account directly on this page if you do not already have one. Its free and you won't be able to install CRC without this account.

When you sign on to this page, you get access to the official documentation, the download links for the `crc` binaries, **and to the 'Pull Secret' and this is the reason to go through this page because the Pull Secret is personalized to your Red Hat account**.

Once you obtained the binary for your operating system and your pull secret, you can follow the CRC [Getting Started Guide](https://code-ready.github.io/crc/) or a blog I wrote about running [Red Hat OpenShift 4 on your laptop](https://haralduebele.blog/2019/09/13/red-hat-openshift-4-on-your-laptop/).

The default setup of CRC requires at least:

* 4 virtual CPUs
* 8 GB RAM
* 35 GB disk space for the virtual disk

It creates a virtual machine (VM) with those specifications to run OpenShift 4 on your workstation.

- On current Intel (i5, i7) and AMD CPUs, 2 virtual CPUs = 1 physical core.
- 8 GB of RAM will allow to start OpenShift but are not sufficient especially when you install Istio.
- 16 GB of RAM will work.

Be aware that you still need resources not reserved by CRC to run the OS of your workstation! That means you won't be able to use CRC on a smaller (older) machine!
Also note that you cannot change the configuration (CPUs, RAM) once you started CRC for the first time. You will need to delete and restart it to create the VM running the OpenShift cluster with new specifications.

The binaries are updated about once per month and previous to CRC version 1.2 you had to delete and reinstall your cluster every month due to expired certificates. Starting with version 1.2 CRC can renew the certificates and keep running. You may still want to update it from time to time since newer versions typically contain newer versions of OpenShift including bug fixes. Update means you delete your cluster and start fresh with a newer version of CRC!

#### Important commands

`crc setup` will check and setup the prereqs for CRC.

`crc start` starts the OpenShift cluster and in the end prints out the credentials of two users:

* kubeadmin with full administrative rights
* developer

`crc console` opens the OpenShift Web Console on your default browser.

`crc console --credentials` displays the credentials of the kubeadmin and developer users.

`crc stop` shuts down OpenShift and the VM it is running in.

## Option 2: Red Hat OpenShift 4.3 on IBM Cloud

Red Hat OpenShift 4.3 is currently (March 2020) available in a public beta. You require a PAYG or other paid IBM Cloud Account to create a cluster, though. There is no free or test OpenShift cluster available on IBM Cloud. During workshops we will give you access to clusters paid by IBM.

To create an OpenShift cluster on the IBM Cloud, log on to the IBM Cloud and go to the Catalog:

1. Click on "Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud" (located in the Containers section)
2. Select "Single zone" under Location, select a Geography, and a Worker zone (data center)
3. Select OpenShift Version 4.3.1 or whatever 4.3 version currently is available
4. Select a flavor for your worker node(s), b3c.4x16 virtual shared is fine
5. Reduce the number of Worker nodes to 1 (sufficient for this exercise)
6. Note the Order summary and total estimated monthly costs in the upper right corner!
7. Click Create only if you are willing to order a paid cluster!

Anxiety

When one is confronted with a hypothetically perilous situation, for instance, a large barking dog, anxiety or nervousness is said to be a healthy reaction. Sensing the peril, your brain sends signals for releasing hormones to organize your body to protect itself. In such cases, your muscles become tense, the pace of breathing and heartbeat augments and even the blood turns out to be more liable to coagulate anticipating any injury. In the instance of some people, this reaction is triggered even when there is actually no palpable danger whatsoever. This type of response may actually be harmful for your health, as it may result in exhaustion, absence of or very poor concentration, a feeling of aloofness from yourself or your environment, as well as physical disorders, such as headaches, rise in blood pressure and even stomach disorders.

It may be noted here that nervousness or anxiety disorders actually occur in two different fundamental types. The first, generalized anxiety disorder (also called GAD) is a persistent condition that entails a frequent feeling of an ominous or menace and concern in the company of gentle physical symptoms. On the other hand, a panic attack occurs all of a sudden and out of the blue accompanied by symptoms that are so aggressive that the episodes are generally misunderstood to be a heart attack or any other critical health condition.

A number of scientists are of the belief that the central nervous system (CNS) of people enduring anxiety disorders is likely to react excessively to stress and may take a comparatively long time than most others to come back to the normal or calmer condition. Nervousness or anxiety may commence with a shocking incident, such as, a death or divorce, or it may also not have any particular origin or cause.

FOR MEN AND WOMEN.

In fact, a biochemical basis may also exist for anxiety or nervousness. Findings of several researches have demonstrated that people who are liable to panic attacks have an elevated lactic acid level in the bloodstream. Precisely speaking, lactic acid is a chemical that is generated when the muscles metabolize sugar in the absence of sufficient oxygen. Other studies hint that anxiety may well be the consequence of an excessive production of stress hormones by our brain as well as the adrenal glands.

Supplements and herbs

Specific herbs and supplements are known to be effective in treating anxiety. For instance, herbal as well as nutritional medications meant to treat anxiety may also be employed as substitutes for prescription drugs, which may possibly prove to be extremely addictive and, at the same time, have a number of horrible side effects. Findings of numerous researches have revealed that the herb kava kava is extremely effective for treating anxiety - possibly, equally effectual as any prescription drug. Kava kava is known to lessen symptoms like giddiness, nervousness as well as palpitation or shuddering of the heart. Moreover, people enduring anxiety ought to also include calcium, a vitamin B complex and magnesium supplement as well as additional thiamin in their regimen. All these nutrients are vital for the healthy performance of the nervous system, particularly for the production of neurotransmitters - the vital chemical messengers in the brain.

Another herb valerian (botanical name Valeriana officinalis), which is known to facilitate in inducing sleep, may be employed in small doses all through the day to bring about a calming effect. You may try using this herb in case you do not get the desired results from using kava kava. In case you are taking kava kava during the day time, you may still take a night time dose of valerian (250 mg to 500 mg) provided you have difficulty in having a sound sleep. In the event of being depressed in addition to worried or restless, you may use St. John's wort along with kava kava or valerian. To obtain and feel the full benefits of using St. John's wort, you need to take this herb for a minimum period of a month. However, the other supplements start working with immediate effect.

Football: Bowlsby out to change perception of Big 12

The Big 12 is on stable footing. The conference is once again in a position of strength. The future is good.

League commissioner Bob Bowlsby knows the member institutions realize that. He’s not sure the rest of the public does.

As he enters his first academic year as the league boss, Bowlsby is out to convince the rest of the country that the Big 12 is no longer the dysfunctional, ready-to-self-destruct conference it was a year or two ago.

“I don’t think you can just declare yourself stable and forward thinking,” said Bowlsby, who held a press conference at ISU on Tuesday. “I think you have to state it as an aspiration and then do things moving forward.”

Signing a new TV contract and grant of rights are two ways Bowlsby plans on doing that. The TV contract with FOX and ESPN reportedly is worth $2.6 billion. Bowlsby said the negotiation was in the “late stages.”

One of the biggest hang-ups is the grant of rights, in which the league members essentially make a pact where no one will leave the conference. It has yet to be signed, and Bowlsby said it needs to before the TV contract can be finalized.

Possibly the biggest way for the league to start changing perceptions is through what Bowlsby calls “new platforms” such as cyclones.tv, the new ISU athletic website devoted providing coverage to all ISU teams.

“We are going to have unprecedented exposure and that allows us to proliferate the brand in ways that also allow us to send the kind of message that we would like to send,” Bowlsby said.

That message starts with the health of the league. Then it extends to building the brand to new heights.

“I would like us to be the most innovative, the strongest, the most highly competitive conference in college sports,” Bowlsby said.

That includes on the field, where he said that means winning the national title in football this season.

“I like the dog we have in the fight,” Bowlsby said. “The top of our league is competitive with anybody in the country.”

Before Bowlsby took office this summer, the league was already beginning to show its newfound strength when it paired with the SEC to create the Champions Bowl, a New Year’s Day game where both conference champions square off.

Bowlsby said early returns are promising as the bowl could produce two-and-a-half times as much revenue as initially expected.

“That money passes right through to Iowa State and the rest of our members,” Bowlsby said. “And it goes right along to the bottom line in terms of sustaining the programs and in terms of doing things that enhance competition.”

And it of course help enhance the public perception of the Big 12.

“We are still moving in the direction we would like to eventually reside,” Bowlsby said. “But I feel very good about the reality of the conference at this present time.”
