You know poor diet hurts your health, but did you know it can put your future child at risk before you even conceive?
Roughly one in every 33 infants is born with a defect in the United States (10). Poor nutrition is one of multiple causes for pregnancy complications. In particular, women need higher levels of a vitamin called folate before conception to deliver a healthy baby, but the body cannot produce folate on its own; we only get it from eating certain foods. For this reason, some foods are fortified with a form of folate called folic acid, but is eating a bowl of O's going to cut it?
Folate is a water-soluble (dissolves in water) essential B vitamin that plays a crucial role in the production of new cells—super important for maintaining health. Folate cannot be produced by the body, so we get it through diet alone, and it is easily depleted within months or even weeks of inadequate dietary intake. We need to get a consistent supply of folate from our diet to stay healthy. The stakes are even higher for women because healthy folate levels are critical for a healthy pregnancy.
Folate deficiency is a major cause of neural tube defects (NTD)—serious birth defects of the brain or spinal cord that can cause lifelong disability or even death (11). The worst part is that NTDs occur in the first month of pregnancy, before you might even know you're pregnant. Half of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned (12), so waiting to improve folate levels after the fact can be too late (13). Having healthy folate levels is particularly important at least three months before and after conceiving.
To complicate things further, most women have their lowest folate levels exactly when they need it the most— during their reproductive years. It's not from menstruation, as you might expect; studies show that folate levels actually do not fluctuate much over the course of the menstrual cycle (5). Similarly, most women will not experience a surge in folate levels immediately after menopause. When it comes to oral contraceptives, mixed results still leave us scratching our heads about how folate levels might be affected (6).
So, why are women particularly low on folate during these critical years? The reason remains a mystery, but the solution to the problem is quite clear. Research suggests that consuming a daily dose of 400 to 800 mcg folic acid is the surest way women can avoid delivering a baby with NTDs (12). In fact, it is projected that 50% to 70% of NTDs could be prevented if women got 400 mcg of folic acid daily, before and during pregnancy (14). Supplements and foods fortified with folic acid are the easiest way to meet this recommendation.
While folate is arguably most important during those first few weeks of development, it continues to be an important nutrient all the way through to delivery. The body's need for folate increases during pregnancy. This, in combination with hemodilution (blood dilution) causes lower folate levels during pregnancy, possibly up to 50% without folic acid supplementation (7). Folate levels that fall in the low end of normal (3-5.9 ng/mL) are associated with high-risk pregnancies (17).
Every year, 3,000 babies in the U.S. and 300,000 worldwide are born with NTDs (13). Before the mid-nineties, the NTD rate was even higher for American babies. Folate deficiency was a real concern, so the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required all enriched grain products (like cereal or bread) to be fortified with folic acid, a form of folate used more easily by the body (16). The program was complete in 1998 and correlated to a drastic drop in both the prevalence of folate deficiency and in the rate of NTDs in the initial years (1).
However, average folate levels have actually been decreasing in more recent years, and most women in the U.S. do not attain the recommended daily amount of folic acid (14). The growing popularity of low-carb diets could be a source of the problem (2).
Does that mean you should start loading on carbs? Not necessarily, but it does highlight the need for understanding what's happening in your blood and how your folate levels can shift over time.
Folate levels fluctuate over the course of a lifetime. In both men and women, folate tends to peak during childhood and after age sixty (2). This could be due to greater consumption of fortified foods during these years, as well as more frequent use of multivitamins, but the exact reason is unknown (3). Multiple studies also show that folate absorption increases more than two-fold in older men and women (4). Getting a blood test is the surest way to know your folate status.
For men, healthy folate levels have been linked to improving sperm counts and motility.
If folate levels remain abnormal for ongoing periods of time, it can pose a direct threat to your personal health; not just your future baby's.
Having too much folate can cause problems as well. It can mask vitamin B12 deficiencies, which can lead to nerve damage. Higher folate levels may also increase cancer risk, though research has shown mixed results (18, 19). While getting too much folic acid from natural foods is unlikely, you should pay attention to what you get from fortified foods and supplements—do not consume more than 1,000 mcg of folic acid a day unless it is advised by your doctor (12).
Folate appears naturally in certain foods (like asparagus and lentils), whereas folic acid is the man-made version of folate that gets added to enriched grains (like bread). The body does not use folate as easily as folic acid, so it is much harder to maintain healthy levels from natural foods alone (6, 16). Taking folic acid supplements or eating fortified foods can be far more helpful. It is recommended that all women capable of getting pregnant take 400 micrograms of synthetic folic acid daily, along with getting folate from natural foods (15).
Just one serving of many breakfast cereals can give you the recommended daily amount of folic acid. Still, it may be difficult to get all the daily nutrition you need from food alone, but supplements may close the gap.
So, should you stock up on cereal or do you need to bring your folate levels down? You can't act on what you don't know, so the most effective way to take your health in your hands is to get your blood checked. Your test results will give you the facts about your health, including your levels of folate and other important markers.
When it comes to health, there are a lot of unknowns.
Keep track of what you can control.

I studied Technical Writing in college where I was taught how to maintain cohesiveness and uniformity across broad collections of instructional documents.� The recommended way of keeping track of terminology is to obey a style guide – a list of terms and jargon accompanied by instructions on how and how not to use it.
For all things grammatical there is little flexibility, and so it is best to follow the examples set in industry-standard style guides like the Chicago Manual of Style (for American English) or the Oxford Manual of Style (for Canadian English).
Industry-specific jargon is more recent and is used less frequently, making it unclear as to which terminology is appropriate in specific contexts.� There are a few ways you can go in such an instance.� You can decide ad-hoc what phrasing to use, but this runs the risk of being inconsistent compared to other documents written by yourself or your colleagues, and instructions become unclear when you set reader expectations one way and then abandon that standard.� You can develop an in-house style guide which is obeyed by all writers in the organization, and this is often an acceptable choice that should work well for readers, but you still run the risk of choosing different terminology than the rest of the industry.� If you're lucky there exists an industry-specific style guide which is mutually agreed upon by the majority of similar companies as the de-facto standard.
For many years Microsoft made available its own style guide, called the "Microsoft Manual of Style" (aka MMS), freely on its web site.� This guide was invaluable to technical writers by answering the age-old questions such as "click, click on, choose, select, or tick", and "log in, log on, login, or logon", citing usage examples for each term and substantiating its rules with cross-referenced examples and alternative contexts.� Microsoft's guide was by no means adopted by even one tenth the PC industry, but it remains the broadest and most respectable style guide.� It's a great tool to improve the ease and readability of instructional documentation for using software.
For unknown reasons Microsoft opted to remove the MMS from its website, never to return.� There used to be an official print version of the book but since its cancellation it is available only at exorbitant prices.� Luckily I emailed myself a copy of the MMS while it was still available so I'm happy to share it with you here!
Choose here (just kidding) to download the Microsoft Manual of Style.

By The Law Offices of Ronald H. Kauffman of Ronald H. Kauffman, P.A. posted in Divorce on Monday, January 23, 2017.
A New York appeals court has upheld a $10,000 sanction against an attorney for bad faith conduct in handling his own divorce.
Divorce is a specialized area of the law, with its own rules and ways, most lawyers who attempt to represent themselves find themselves ill-equipped to competently handle the procedural or substantive aspects of their divorce cases on their own.
Also contested divorces are almost guaranteed to be emotionally charged, so a self-represented lawyer may be hard-pressed to summon the level of rational thought and independent judgment that is required of a capable litigator.
the attorney's ill-advised behavior seriously calls into question his fitness to practice law. It is also, according to defendant and the attorney for the child, indicative of a personality that makes plaintiff incapable of properly parenting the parties' child.
I just want to make it known on the record that I am tired of the lies coming from the court and tainting of the record, knowing full well this is going to go to the Appellate Division.
I've written about courtroom behavior before. Divorce turns spouses against each other, to view each other with suspicion, and as enemies. Not surprisingly, good relations after the divorce seem unlikely, and future friendships seem impossible.
It takes a lot to make up with the person who may have ruined your life, or who has become public enemy #1.
The decision is available here.

Brains bigger as you get farther from equator
July 27, 2011 / 11:17 AM / Livescience.com

Brains are larger in those who live farther from the equator -- in order to help them see better, researchers now suspect.
Scientists have long known that brain volume increases with latitude -- that is, the closer one gets to the poles.
"That might be mistaken for implying that intelligence increases with latitude," said researcher Robin Dunbar, an evolutionary anthropologist at the University of Oxford. "Our data suggests that this isn't so."
The investigators noted that the amount of light that reaches Earth's surface decreases the higher one goes up in latitude. They reasoned that in order to compensate, both eyeballs and the brain regions linked with vision might increase in size. Nocturnal primates do have larger eyes than ones active during the daytime, presumably in order to help them see better in the dark, and the same holds true for birds that sing earlier in the dawn, when light is sparse.
Dunbar and his Oxford colleague Eiluned Pearce measured the size of eye sockets and brains in 55 people from 12 different areas of varying latitude across the globe, from Scandinavia to Kenya to Australia. They determined that eyeball size increased with latitude just as brain size did, findings that are detailed online July 27 in the journal Biology Letters.
The biggest brains belonged to populations who lived in Scandinavia, while the smallest brains were those of Micronesians, the researchers found.
Under daylight conditions considered typical for each latitude, people from higher latitudes were found to have the same level of visual keenness as those from lower latitudes, the researchers noted. However, at dawn or dusk, when light levels are lower, people from higher latitudes might have markedly sharper eyesight, though this idea hasn't been tested, the researchers said.
"In relatively recent evolutionary time, humans have adapted to the low light levels of high latitudes by adjusting how much light enters the visual system," Dunbar noted.
The researchers are now looking at a larger sample of brains and eyes and measuring their dimensions more accurately with modern imaging techniques.

Double Time Docs is an online software that helps you write your functional and narrative Pediatric Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy evaluation reports very quickly. You simply answer multiple choice, fill-in and short answer questions and your fully-written report is generated automatically.
Check out our great reviews on Capterra!
"Wow! I cannot believe the time I saved writing a comprehensive evaluation report. Love, love, love Double Time Docs. Thank you!!"
"Report information easily transfers into IEP"
"The report looks nice and professional"
"The time spent writing evaluations has been cut in half while increasing relevant content"
"My most valuable school based OT tool"
"Allowed us to produce evaluations that are cohesive throughout our department"
"I really like how it takes you step by step through an OT evaluation - it reminds me to look at the "whole child" not just the pieces."
Answer multiple choice, fill-in and short answer questions about your student's background, observation and assessments. Fill in custom Comment boxes whenever you need to include special information not covered by our questions.
As you fill out the questions, at any time you can preview the evaluation report. Full sentences are created based on your answers to the questions. The sentences use the student's name and correct pronoun every time. No more name or pronoun mistakes!
When you're satisfied with your evaluation report (which won't take long!), download it to your computer as a Word Document and fine-tune it to your heart's content. You'll be done in record time!
Time is one of our most precious commodities. With the increase in caseload, referrals and assessments, there is not enough time in the school day to write an evaluation. On average, it can take 2 hours to write a Pediatric OT or PT evaluation. DTD evaluations can be completed in 30 minutes or less.
The quality of a Pediatric Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy evaluation is the result of format, grammar and content. Even though school districts and companies sometimes provide guidelines, it does not mean that the quality is consistent among all therapists on a team. DTD provides consistent high quality reports across your whole team.
We currently have an OT school-based version, an OT clinic-based version, a PT school-based version and a PT clinic-based version. Speech and Language versions are coming soon.
What I love about Double Time Docs is that it's the most thorough guide for an evaluation I have ever seen, and it makes me think critically of each and every single area that an OT should be assessing, while simultaneously being the fastest evaluation write up I've ever done!
Double Time Docs has been a great asset during the evaluation process. This resource assists in obtaining maximum efficiency, while also promoting quality and thorough review among the documentation process. It promotes a comprehensive overview and understanding of the student. I have really enjoyed using Double Time Docs and would not hesitate to recommend it to my peers.
Double Time Docs has truly excelled at creating an efficient tool to reduce the amount of time it takes to write a thorough OT evaluation. It's super easy to use and it even allows you to edit and customize the final draft of your report. I can't recommend it highly enough!
Double Time Docs tremendously cut down on my evaluation report time. It took my information and put it in a succinctly written report. It was also a great tool to ensure that I covered all areas of participation; rather than getting stuck in my normal rut. I would recommend it to all school based OTs!
Double Time Docs is a wonderful, easy to use tool! In the past writing evaluations would take me hours working from my template, cutting/pasting, adding the child's name, etc. Now I can easily fly through the online questions, check boxes that apply, add my custom comments when needed and insert standardized test data in less than half the time! The online template is very user friendly and extremely thorough. The final report can be easily modified if needed and the layout is very professional. I could not be happier with this product and highly recommend it to all OT's!
DTD uses what we call Doc Credits. A Doc Credit allows you to create 1 Doc on DTD. Doc Credits are issued on your billing date, and will roll over to future billing periods. They do not expire. An active subscription is required to access, edit and download your Docs. Read more on our FAQ page.
Are you the director of the OT or PT program at your school or clinic? Have a large team and want custom pricing? Let's talk.
If your school district administration won't cover the cost of Double Time Docs for the OTs and PTs in your district, your group of OTs and PTs can still get our Team Pricing if you qualify. Just have a person in your group call us to discuss how you can all save money on your subscriptions by forming a Team.
To get info on Team Pricing, please fill out this short contact form and we'll get back to you very soon. Or you can call us at (630) 708-8501.
We've signed both the California and Massachusetts Student Data Privacy Agreements. Click on the logos below for more information.
Hello and welcome! I'm Jason Gonzales, the creator of Double Time Docs. I've been a Pediatric OT for more than 16 years and have worked all over the country in many school districts.
The one thing that stood out to me everywhere I went was that every one of my colleagues spent way more time writing evaluations than they wanted to. It made me think that there must be a way to use technology to improve this process. I created Double Time Docs to save you time writing your evaluations.
I'd love it if you'd give it a try. And please reach out directly to me with any questions or comments. I'm here and happy to help you!

An Extreme Makeover house in Pinon Arizona didn't turn out too well. The house is too big and it takes too much energy to heat despite having technology like solar panels. The house has some surprising quality issues like only having two-thirds of the insulation it should have. The owner of the house has moved in with in-laws.
Extreme Makeover Home's has some problems with lawsuits and foreclosures. Although they appear to be building houses for the needy they are ultimately producing the show for ratings. That's not an entirely bad thing but it influences how the houses are constructed.
Since McMansions are out of style and house sizes are shrinking, I wonder if Extreme Makeover House edition will make homes smaller too.

Jennifer Tulley Architects were engaged by a private equity firm to design the modernization of their offices located in San Francisco, California.
This SOMA Loft space was redesigned to suit the needs of a fast-paced Financial Services firm.
This project required modernization of a classic SOMA loft space. The client is a technology focused Private Equity firm with offices in Asia and San Francisco. The firm's Principal is attracted to modern design and art and travels around the world.The renovation is unique in the extreme attention to detail required by the client. This included highly specific use of materials, finishes and a curated selection of artwork.
The goal was to maximize open space, light and views, while providing privacy for meetings and phone calls. The client wanted an office that was welcoming, comfortable, clean, modern, and fun.
JTA was hired to update the space into a functional modern office. The client wanted to remove all of the existing partition walls to start with an open floor plan in this tall ceiling downtown industrial space in the former Photography District. Then they wanted to add as few walls as possible, with as much glass as possible to maintain that open feel while providing workspaces to meet their needs. He also wanted a great cappuccino machine and a large hang out space around it!
This is an office space so private offices for the principals and a private conference room, a bit of social space (found in the kitchen and the entry foyer); and they were very attracted to the rough industrial quality of the space, so maintaining this was important. Jennifer created a clean open design that accentuated the existing bones but also met the needs of a private office. The client wanted to maximize glass in the offices but that left only a small wall space for a whiteboard in the conference room. To increase that area, we created a sliding whiteboard wall that slides over the window between the private office and conference room, providing double the whiteboard space and privacy for meetings.
We had to make the two existing restrooms handicap accessible which took space out of the lobby area. We took advantage of this by painting one of the bathroom walls with light gray whiteboard paint and using this to turn the kitchen into a brainstorming work area. It also created a more intimate feel to the entry since the space was more compressed than the larger open workspace.
We were able to open up the space to reveal all of the large windows, the series of columns and the open ceiling, and to create a single, large, volume, but with more intimate, connected workspaces within the whole.

The Pas RCMP make arrest after armed and barricaded incident
The Pas, Manitoba
On November 20, 2021, at approximately 2:05 am, The Pas RCMP responded to report of an assault at a residence in the RM of Kelsey. RCMP were advised that the suspect was inside his residence, along with other adults and children, and was in possession of a firearm.
Immediately officers from The Pas RCMP detachment along with Manitoba First Nation Police Service, attended and contained the area. The victim, a 21-year-old female, was located safe outside the residence. She had minor injuries and was treated by emergency personnel.
Officers ensured the public in nearby residences were secure, and after several hours, an RCMP negotiator was able to make contact with the suspect and convince him to surrender. He exited the residence and was arrested without incident.
No one inside the residence was physically injured.
Officers seized a shotgun and ammunition from inside the residence.

One of my reader, Alex, pointed me to Ramos W32 Tablet, which appears to be the first Android tablet built around Intel Atom Z2460 (Medfield), although the processor has been unveiled in January 2011, and smartphones such as Lenovo K800 have been available for nearly half a year. I suppose the delay between tablets and smartphones releases is because whereas the first smartphones could be based on Android 2.3.x (gingerbread), tablets would have to use Android 4.0.x (ICS) or greater to have a proper large screen interface.
The package also includes a charger, a USB cable, and a user's manual in English, Russian, German and Spanish.
Intel Atom Z2460 is a single-core Saltwell processor running at 1.6 to 2.0 GHz with 512KB L2 cache and hyper-threading technology. This SoC also features an Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX 540 GPU @ 400 MHz and hardware video decoder and encoder (up to 1080p).
Back in January 2012, reports showed very good performance and power consumption compared to existing solutions such as the Samsung Galaxy Nexus based on OMAP4460, but time has passed, new SoCs have been released, and now that Z2460 is available in retail products it's rather a mid-range solution. A video about a Ramos W32 sample uploaded in October shows Antutu 2.8.2 benchmark with a score of 5602. As a comparison, Rockchip RK3066 can achieve 8000 in Antutu 2.8. Of course, it's possible the software has been improved since then, and that Antutu is not properly optimized for x86 processors. For those looking for faster performance, Intel has also recently released the new dual core Atom Z2760 with PowerVR SGX545, but it only appears to be used in Windows RT tablets for now.
Ramos W32 tablet is available for pre-order on Pandawill for $287.99, and will be available on the 8th of January 2013. Some shops on Aliexpress also offer it.


Like other European central banks, Narodowy Bank Polski cooperates with central banks of developing countries. One of the forms of this cooperation is technical cooperation. NBP carries out technical cooperation in accordance with the relevant resolution of the NBP Management Board as well as bilateral agreements and memoranda of understanding or agreements on NBP participation in international aid activities organized or financed by central banks and other institutions. The primary goal of NBP technical cooperation – pursuant to the Narodowy Bank Polski Technical Cooperation Programme 2016+, adopted by the NBP Management Board on 3 December 2015 – is to support partner institutions in achieving the highest possible standards in central banking through the use of specialist knowledge provided by NBP, which is enriched with Polish experience related to, among others, the establishment and operation of an independent central bank.
The NBP Technical Cooperation Programme enjoys a lot of interest among partner institutions and it is highly valued for, inter alia, Poland's experience gathered from the economic transition period, the reforms preceding Poland's accession to the European Union and the economic crisis in 2008. The diversified training offer (a broad range of forms and topics) and the simultaneous translation of meetings into Russian attract an increasing number of participants in these activities of NBP.
The cooperation offer – prepared yearly in the form of a catalogue – is developed on the basis of an analysis of the training needs of the programme partners and the seminars and workshops proposed by NBP departments for a given year.
The current list of seminars and workshops is included in the Technical Cooperation Catalogue 2019. Like every year, the catalogue is prepared in English and Russian.
The other activities (study visits, internships and expert missions) are planned and organized on a day-to-day basis, according to the needs declared by the partner institutions and the availability of NBP resources.
participation in international twinning projects.
central bank accounting and others.
candidate countries for the EU accession: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey.
Considering NBP's concern for the effectiveness of technical cooperation, bilateral and long-term projects are addressed exclusively to priority partners, while the activities within the NBP multilateral technical cooperation (seminars and workshops) are also addressed to representatives of central banks of countries not covered by the above list.
Narodowy Bank Polski follows the ESCB best practices which were prepared by the Task Force on Central Bank Cooperation under the auspices of the ESCB's International Relations Committee.

Gunnar Törnqvist, född 1933 i Ljungby, är en svensk geograf.

Gunnar Törnqvist disputerade 1963 vid Stockholms universitet för doktorsgraden i geografi på avhandlingen Studier i industrilokalisering och blev samma år docent vid samma lärosäte. Han utnämndes till professor i ekonomisk geografi vid Lunds universitet 1967, numera professor emeritus.

Törnqvist har som expert deltagit i en rad offentliga utredningar. Uppdragsgivare har varit olika svenska statsdepartement och av dessa tillsatta delegationer, kommittéer, expertgrupper och parlamentariska utredningar. På europeisk nivå har han varit knuten till European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures och European Science Foundation. Sedan 1970-talet har han suttit i olika forskningsråd, senast i Riksbankens Jubileumsfond.

Han har i sin forskning främst varit inriktad på de sociala kommunikationernas ökade betydelse för näringslivets lokalisering, för vilket han gav en översikt med historiskt perspektiv i Sverige i nätverkens Europa (1993). Förutom lokaliseringsteori, har han som forskare arbetat med innovationsspridning, regional utveckling och regionala indelningar. Han har granskat frågor som rör effekterna av den fasta förbindelsen över Öresund och universitetens roll i modern samhällsutveckling. Europas nya ekonomiska geografi och kreativitetens villkor har ägnats särskild uppmärksamhet under senare år.

I'm hearing from multiple sources that senior forward Damien Wilson will not be on the men's basketball roster next season. Update: Hearing from multiple sources that he is ineligible due to academics.
Wilson was a talented player, but in my opinion more trouble than he was worth and not a great influence for the younger players. This move frees up more playing time for returnees Nigel Pruitt and Nick Masterson and now freshmen Tracy Hector, Kyle Clarke, Josh Burnett and Kosta Jankovic have more opportunities to carve out roles.
One/two scholarships are currently open.

Q: How to access an indexed string from a string collection saved in settings? I have a few arrays of strings in my settings labelled meas1, meas2, meas3 etc...
If I want to set the 6th item in each string collection to "", how would I do that? Below is my broken code of  failed attempt:
for (int i = 19; i >= 0; i--)
{
    Properties.Settings.Default["meas" + i][5] = "";
}

I know I could do Properties.Settings.Default.meas1[5] = ""; but I want I have a lot of meas that I need to do so a for loop would be preferred.

A: Maybe passing the item name and casting result to StringCollection would help:
for (int i = 19; i >= 0; i--)
{
    var prop = Properties.Settings.Default["meas" + i] as StringCollection;
    prop[5] = "";
}
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

You need to replace as string[] with your exact data type. But the above solves your issue of accessing the item by name.

On visiting Boots on the pretence of buying nappies (translate as feeding my make up obsession) I popped my advantage card in the machine to see what new offers I had.
Buy a double daily eye stick for less than half price at £4!
I tried it this morning and dear god, don't make any mistakes because this product has serious staying power!
Only 3 shades available in my local, but I wonder if there are more as if so I'm in for the long haul.
The double ended pencil is so creamy, and I prefer the thinner tip to the Clinique chubby for eyes, it gives a much more precise application and you can get into the inner corners much easier.

There seems to be significantly more water on the moon than expected - and it may even be created thereby solar radiation.
Scientists have been working for years to uncover the secrets of moon water. Now two new studies published in Nature Astronomy confirm that water can be found practically everywhere on the surface of the moon.
One of the studies reports the first clear evidence of water molecules that adhere to or are trapped in the sand grains of the lunar soil in the sunny areas of the surface.
The second study modeled small areas on the moon that are permanently in shadow.
It found that around 40,000 square kilometers - an area that is about twice the size of Saxony-Anhalt - are cold enough to accommodate ice. That is about 20 percent more than originally assumed.
The scientists investigated the forms in which the water occurs on the moon's surface and where it is located.
In this way, they hope to better understand the moon's mysterious water cycle. Unlike on Earth, where water circulates in rivers and precipitation, water formation on the moon could be more exotic: for example, through hydrogen in the solar wind, which reacts with oxygen on the surface, or through icy meteorites that hit the moon. Moon water could also migrate from sunny regions to shady areas.
But the exact movements of this water and the possible transition from sunny to shady zones remain a mystery. "We still have a lot of work to do before we understand whether the two are even connected," says Jessica Sunshine, a planetary scientist at the University of Maryland who was not on either of the two study teams. But the new research "suggests a much more complex process than we previously thought"
This work is also vital for future humans flying to the moon or beyond. This includes NASA's upcoming Artemis mission, which will bring the first woman and next man to the moon.
If there are actually usable amounts of water and ice, it might be possible to mine this resource for use in fuel. This could reduce the burden that future space travelers will have to carry with them on their ventures beyond the earth.
The new insights into the moon water are part of the slowly changing image of our companion in the sky. The moon was once thought to be a desolate, parched landscape.
However, it is increasingly emerging as a dynamic world with complex sources for many forms of water.
"It was a slow revolution," says Paul Hayne, a planetary researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder and lead author of the study on the shadow zones. "But it was a revolution."
A world full of water
The moon is a world of extreme heat and cold. Daytime temperatures near the lunar equator can rise to a scorching 121 ° C, while at night they drop to a frosty minus -133 ° C. And without a thick protective atmosphere, evaporated water can quickly escape into space.
However, to the delight of the scientists, faint traces of water seem to remain on the sunlit moon surface. Instruments on three spaceships confirmed the discovery, announced in 2009, but there was a catch: the analysis failed to tell the difference between water and hydroxyl.
The researchers looked for signatures of water on the lunar surface in the infrared range. Much like visible light split up by a prism, "infrared has its own rainbow even if we can't see it," says Casey Honniball, a postdoctoral researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and lead author of the study on the Water molecules.
These earlier analyzes focused on part of the infrared spectrum where both water and hydroxyl glow. By choosing a different section of the spectrum, Honniball and her colleagues were finally able to spot the H2O.
Photos from NASA: Earth and moon as seen by space probes
"To be honest, I don't know why anyone didn't think of it before - it's a brilliant idea," says Sunshine, who worked on the discovery of water signals on the moon in 2009.
For the new study, Honniball and her colleagues collected data during a flight from SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) in 2018. The infrared telescope is mounted on a jumbo jet. A few months later, Honniball was processing the data from her couch when the water signal appeared. "I think I was screaming," she says.
Water is available, but it is probably scarce: its concentration is probably only around 350 grams per cubic meter of lunar soil.
It's a hundred times drier than the Sahara, notes Honniball. However, she emphasizes that more work is needed to check water levels. The current estimates are ultimately based only on a single, temporally and locally limited observation.
But for Sunshine, it's a long-awaited confirmation. "It's very satisfying," she says. "I am very grateful that you took on the work."
Ice in the moon shadow
The second study focused on the shaded areas of the lunar surface. Scientists have long suspected that in permanently shady areas, water could be present as ice in huge craters.
That was confirmed in October 2009 when NASA crashed part of the LCROSS spacecraft in a shady area near the south pole of the moon. She saw signs of ice in the impact cloud.
Researchers have since mapped these large frosty regions. But after looking at high-resolution images of the lunar surface from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the new study team realized that shady ice zones could be more common than expected, even in very small areas. Every time they enlarged the picture, they saw more of it: "It goes all the way down into the shadows," says Hayne.
Using temperature and shadow models of the moon, the team found that ice can form even in tiny areas the size of an ant.
These tiny shadows can be just as cold as their larger counterparts, notes Hayne. The moon's atmosphere is so thin that it doesn't equalize surface temperatures, so a boiling hotspot can be right next to an icy cold area.
The new research suggests that the area covered by cold, shady zones is about 20 percent larger than previously estimated.
If all of these zones are full of frost, the amount of ice would be billions of pounds of water, says Hayne. But how many of these zones actually contain ice is still an open question.
Meteorites and moon missions of the future
Together, the studies could help scientists understand how the lunar water cycle works. The water on the moon comes from a few different sources. In part, it could reach the moon with meteorites that collide with the surface.
Some of the water is also likely to be formed when hydrogen from the solar wind reacts with surface oxygen to form hydroxyl. The heat of the sun or the impact of micrometeorites could cause hydroxyl molecules to collide, which then form H2O, explains Honniball.
The heat from impact objects such as micrometeorites could also melt part of the rock surface and evaporate any water nearby.
As the melt cools to glass, it could trap the water vapors - and that could be the reason for the watery signal that Honniball and her team discovered.
But how and where exactly the water moves on the surface remains unknown. Meteorites could release a small amount of the liquid from the surface.
The sun could also play a role in the movement of the water, as the signal for water and hydroxyl weaken when the lunar day heat peaks, Sunshine says. "But is it really lost or does it migrate to some shadow zone?" She asks. "These little cold traps could help us understand that."
Scientists still have a lot to learn about moon water, but some answers may already be on the way: In 2022, NASA plans to send the Volatile Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) to the moon's south pole to look for water ice.
Further clues should come from the Lunar Compact Infrared Imaging System (L-CIRIS), which is also slated for a mission in 2022, says Hayne.
Scientists have speculated about the existence of water on the moon since at least the sixties. But in the coming years, we should finally develop a complete picture of where moon water is hiding - and whether future researchers can use it.

YouTube: Now With More Vuvuzela
African tradition goes truly viral
By Jackson West

The first World Cup held on the continent of Africa has educated the world about a local cultural tradition: Blowing a simple horn called the "vuvuzela" at football matches, and for any reason at all.
For those who can't make it to South Africa for the matches -- or aren't prepared to wake up at seven in the morning to watch live -- thanks to YouTube you can now watch the highlights and toot your horn on demand.
Yes, on Thursday the online video site added a "vuvuzela button" that does pretty much what you expect -- turns on a loop of horns buzzing in B-flat.
For instance, feel the scene at San Francisco bar the Phoenix when Landon Donovan scored his goal against Algeria on Wednesday wasn't celebratory enough? Just add more vuvuzela.
YouTube's not the only local tech company promoting the horn. Apple has approved for sale on its App Store the Vuvuzela 2010 iPhone application, so you don't have to carry a plastic horn with you.
And of course, there's TheVuvuzelaHorn on Twitter.
And British website VuvuzelaTime.co.uk will allow you to add more vuvuzela to pretty much anything online -- hide the resulting link with a URL shortener like Bit.ly to prank your friends.
Of course, for those of you who can't stand the din, yes, you can also find programs to turn down the noise like the Devuvuzelator.

In this tutorial section, we will take a look at the workflow for making use of the REST API in FME Server to build a web application that will dynamically build a form based on the published parameters inside a workspace, leverage the Data Upload service to make datasets available to the workspace, submit the job, and handle the results.
Note: This exercise is a continuation from Data Upload Part 1: Options from the FME Server Web Interface, ensure you have completed this exercise first before starting this one.
We will use an example from the FME Server Developer Playground as a starting point for this exercise.
Open the Upload File in Session example and scroll down to the Output section. For Source File, click the Choose File button, select a file to upload, and click Upload File. This upload option makes use of the Data Upload Service to send the file up to FME Server. The service then returns information about where the file has been temporarily saved on the server. This path information can then be used to set the source dataset path within the workspace we want to run.
Click the Run Workspace With Data button at the bottom of the Output section to run the workspace using your uploaded file as the source. This button is connected to a function defined in the web application's code called runWorkspace. This function takes the values set for each of the parameters listed (including the path to the uploaded dataset) and submits them to the workspace on FME Server using the Data Download Service. It then captures the response that comes back from FME Server when the job has completed and displays the results at the bottom of the web page.
We will now configure this demo to run on our own FME Server instance and with the workspace, we have been using for the previous exercises in this tutorial.
To use an FME Server web service, the requesting client must be authorized. So far you have accessed the web services using the same web browser that you logged into the Web User Interface. So, the authorization for the web service was already established. However, the web service we're building won't require an explicit login by the user (it could if we wanted to). So you will need a token to authorize the web service calls.
Open the FME Server Web User Interface and navigate to Security > Users. Create a new with the User Name: dataloading, the Full Name: Data Loading Service Account and set the Password: fordemoonly. Ignore the Permissions, for now, we will assign these in a Role next. Click ok to create the user.
In the Security click on the Roles tab. Create a new role named dataloading and assign dataloading to the Associated Users, this is the user we just created.
Click ok to create the role.
On the left side menu bar, click on CORS. On the CORS page, click on Load Template and select Allow Specific Hosts. Delete the existing hosts and add the host from which your web page is run, click Save Changes.
In the top right corner of FME Server, click your username to open the drop-down menu, then click Manage Token. Copy the token for use momentarily.
Back in the Upload File In Session example page, click on the Download Source button to download source code. Rename the downloaded file to fileupload.html.
Move the file to a web-accessible location. It can be hosted by a web server like IIS or Apache. Additionally, you could make use of a service like Amazon S3 to host the page.
Change easytranslator.fmw to CheckFieldStatus.fmw, save the file.
To run the new workspace on the web page, if you already had it open, refresh it to see our changes. Ensure that the Repository is set to Data Upload and the Workspace is set to CheckFieldStatus.fmw. Upload the weekendplayfieldstatus.csv file using the Choose File button and click Upload. Then once the file is finished uploading, click Run Workspace With Data.
