День Землі () — назва, яку використовують щодо різних заходів, що їх проводять навесні з метою спонукати людей бути уважнішими до тендітного і вразливого довкілля планети Земля. Також «День Землі» — громадянська ініціатива, відкрита для приєднання будь-яких людей, груп і організацій.

Є два основні періоди проведення Днів Землі — у березні (ближче до весняного рівнодення) і Міжнародний день Матері-Землі — 22 квітня. Крім того, окремі активісти й ініціативні групи планують і проводять заходи до Дня Землі ближче до моменту літнього сонцестояння, щоб максимально використовувати теплу погоду і вільний час людей.

День Землі — Рівнодення
День Землі святкується у багатьох країнах у день весняного рівнодення, щоб відзначити момент, коли починається весна (у Північній півкулі) або осінь (у Південній). ООН святкує День Землі зазвичай 20-21 березня.

26 лютого 1971 року Генеральний секретар ООН У Тан підписав спеціальну декларацію, присвячену цій події. Щороку 20-21 березня у штаб-квартирі ООН у Нью-Йорку дзвонить дзвін миру.

День Землі — 22 квітня
Перша «одноразова» акція цього дня пройшла 1970 року в США. Її успіх окрилив організаторів, і з того часу святкування стало регулярним. Відомий американський політик і активіст сенатор Гайлорд Нельсон створив групу зі студентів під керівництвом Денніса Гайеса (студента Гарварду). Оскільки це був час активних студентських рухів, ініціатива привернула до себе багато уваги.

Попри те, що сенатор і його «штаб» не мали ні часу, ні ресурсів для організації справді масових заходів, вони відбувалися (як, наприклад, 20-мільйонна демонстрація і приєднання до проєкту сотень шкіл). Як казав Г.Нельсон, «День Землі організовував себе сам».

1971 року, завдяки успіху першого Дня, сенатор Нельсон проголосив «Тиждень Землі» (3-й тиждень квітня) як щорічну подію, яка стала дуже популярною серед населення США.

На хвилі громадської та політичної активності, пробудженої Днем Землі, у США ухвалили багато законів і актів, що стосуються охорони довкілля (наприклад, Акт про чисте повітря).

 Тема 2022 року: "ІНВЕСТУЙТЕ В НАШУ ПЛАНЕТУ".

Символіка

Прапор Землі

Прапор Землі не є офіційним символом чогось (бо офіційно не існує всепланетного уряду). Цей символ є фотографією планети з космосу (нині використовують знімок, відомий як «Блакитна іграшкова куля», зроблений астронавтами Аполлона-17 дорогою до Місяця) на темно-синьому тлі. Традиційно прапор пов'язаний з Днем Землі та багатьма іншими природоохоронними, миротворчими та громадськими міжнародними заходами.

Символ Дня Землі
Символом Дня є зелена грецька буква Θ (тета) на білому тлі (див. праворуч). Цікаво, що ювілейний символ есперанто майже такий самий.

Дзвін Миру в День Землі
У День Землі в різних країнах, за традицією, лунає Дзвін миру, закликаючи людей Землі відчути всепланетну спільність і докласти зусиль для захисту миру на планеті та збереження краси нашого спільного дому. Дзвін миру — символ спокою, мирного життя та дружби, вічного братерства і солідарності народів. І водночас — це заклик до дії в ім'я збереження миру і життя на Землі, збереження людини і культури.

Перший Дзвін миру був встановлений у штаб-квартирі ООН у Нью-Йорку в 1954 році. Він відлитий з монет — дитячих пожертв з усіх континентів — і є символом глобальної солідарності людей Землі. У нього також вплавлені ордени та медалі, інші почесні знаки людей багатьох країн. Напис на Дзвоні промовляє: «Хай живе загальний мир у всьому світі».

У 1996 році подібний дзвін був встановлений у штаб-квартирі ООН у Відні. Дзвін миру встановлено в багатьох містах Японії, Німеччини (1989), Польщі, Туреччини (1989), Мексики (1990), Австралії (1992), Монголії (1993), Філіппін (1994), Канади (1996), Бразилії (1997), Аргентини (1998), Еквадору (1999), Узбекистану (2003) та інших країн.

The 6718-W Wall Lamp is an extendable, stretchable lamp that can be easily manoeuvred to angle light, or pushed away neatly. The Kaiser Idell series of lamps were designed by Christian Dell, a German silversmith. These timeless lamp designs originate from the significant Bauhaus period and each dome is embossed with ORIGINAL KAISER-idell to signify its authenticity. The lamps, regardless of size, are comprised of a world-patented swivel joint and dome, ensuring they are both practical and stylish. The various styles of lamp available ensure this aesthetically beautiful form can be suited to any environment.
Table, wall, floor and pendant lamps are available, which come in a choice of colours including black, white, ivory, ruby red and dark green. A mat black option is now available in some of the models. The Kaiser Idell lamps are all made from steel and brass whilst the elegant shade is hand-painted in high gloss.
Recommended light source: Osram HALOGEN ENERGY SAVER 28-52W.
Christian Dell was a German silversmith and designer. From 1922-25 he worked as a foreman of the metal workshop at the Bauhaus in Weimar where he was the man behind a highly innovative and pioneering style of design.
The Bauhaus occupies a place of its own in the history of the 20th century culture; architecture, design, art and new media. As one of the first colleges of design, it brought together a number of the most outstanding contemporary architects and artists. Beginning in 1926 Dell sketched lights, often for the lamp factory Gebr. Kaiser & Co. The first catalogue was launched in 1936 in which the table lamp model 6631 Luxus appeared for the first time. This lamp soon became the undisputed top model of the KAISER idell-serie then, as well as today, the symbol of noble Germanic design, exquisite choice of materials and precise engineering.
The term Idell is a reference to the word idea and his lastname, Dell. Kaiser is a reference to the original manufacturer KAISER idell.

A television news reporter covering a Bay Area train derailment was almost run over by a careening automobile Tuesday morning, but escaped injury when a camera operator shouted at him to get out of the way at the last second.
Alex Savidge was reporting live for KTVU-TV from a 7-Eleven parking lot in Fremont when a traffic collision launched a white sedan over the curb and directly at him.
Savidge never saw the car coming, however, as he was delivering his standup and his back was turned.
Fortunately, cameraman Chip Vaughan spotted the speeding vehicle and shouted "Alex, get out of the way," according to Savidge.
A rattled Savidge thanked Vaughan and gave him a hug after the episode.
Savidge and Vaughan had been covering the derailment of a commuter train that occurred about 7:15 p.m. Monday in Niles Canyon.
The Altamont Corridor Express, also known as the ACE train, was traveling north between Fremont and Pleasanton when it struck a tree that had fallen onto the tracks and derailed.
A mudslide triggered by days of rain likely caused the derailment, ACE officials said. There were 214 passenger aboard, and nine were injured.

Q: python multiple text file with different delimeter I have multiple files with different delimiters (| , ). I need to use different seperater in read_cvs function. Is that possible or I need to convert the delimiter to one (line comma) and then use sep = ','?
import glob
path =r'C:\Users\hadadir\Desktop\temp' # use your path
all_Files = glob.glob(path + "/*.txt")
frame = pd.DataFrame()
df = pd.concat((pd.read_csv(f, sep=",|", header = None , nrows=2) for f in all_Files))
df

    0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7
0   3130A0|QE|39104|2000|20140630|0|17306|2000  NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN
1   3130A0|QY|39104|0|20140630|-1000|17306|1000 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN
0   "3135G0"    "XC"    "39104" 1000    20130630    1000    "17306" 1000
1   "3136FP"    "DY"    "39104" 2000    20130630    0   "17306" 2000

for converting:
import glob
path =r'C:\Users\hadadir\Desktop\temp' # use your path
all_Files = glob.glob(path + "/*.txt")
frame = pd.DataFrame()

results:
C:\Users\hadadir\Desktop\temp\HOLDINGQ2.TXTC:\Users\hadadir\Desktop\temp\HOLDING_20131224.txt

A: pd.read_csv generally treats multiple-character delimiters as a regular expression (documentation).  Therefore, you can use a set syntax (like sep="[\|,]") to indicate multiple delimiters.

I absolutely love entertaining outdoors this time of year. There's something about dining outside I find so refreshing. Since I spend so many of my days indoors it's nice to end my day relaxing on the patio, enjoying good food with great company. And a good meal always includes a delicious cocktail, right?
Today I wanted to share one of my favorite simple cocktail recipes that uses fresh seasonal ingredients. Strawberries are at the season's peak right now and are sweeter than ever. When you add some fresh mint and lime juice this drink is sure to become one of your favorites.
1. Place the sliced strawberries, mint leaves, lime juice, water and agave nectar in a blender. Puree until smooth.
2. Divide the strawberry mixture equally into 4 glasses. Top with your favorite bubbly and garnish each glass with a whole strawberry. Then enjoy!

What's so bad about wipes and cotton balls?
Most disposable wipes contain plastic fibers which, over time, turn into microplastics that are harmful to marine life and the earth's food chain.
Every year, we produce as much plastic as the weight of all humans on the planet! Approximately half of this plastic production is meant for a single/disposable use, such as face wipes.
8 million tons of plastic are dumped into the ocean annually. Wipes make up a large and growing segment of this number.
A recent cleanup effort at Kamilo Point, Hawaii, counted 84,000 pieces of microplastic in 11 square feet.
A UK study showed that wipes are responsible for 93% of sewer blockages.
Disposable wipes require large amounts of preservatives like parabens and formaldehyde to prevent the growth of bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungus. These ingredients are toxic and carcinogenic to wildlife, and marine life, and humans.
The bottom line: They might seem like convenient all-in-one staples for the makeup lover but disposable wipes leave traces of toxins on the skin and cause massive harm to our oceans and the food chain.
Cotton is the world's dirtiest crop due to its heavy use of pesticides. These pesticides and waste from processing wind up in our water supply, while some residue remains on the cotton itself.
In fact, the international non-governmental organization World Wide Fund for Nature lists inefficient and "dirty" agriculture as the world's biggest environmental threat, with cotton as the number-one culprit.
Child labor is common in the worldwide cotton industry. Often, these child laborers are directly involved in cotton pesticide application, usually with no protection at all.
It takes 101 gallons of water to produce just one pound of cotton.
In the US, eight of the top 10 pesticides most commonly used in cotton production are classified as moderately to highly hazardous by the World Health Organization.
The Aral Sea in Central Asia, once the fourth largest lake in the world, is now virtually gone, mainly due to cotton cultivation. Now 43 million tons of pesticide-laden dust is blown into the air each year, resulting in the highest rates of throat cancer in the world. It has been called one of the planet's worst environmental disasters by the UN.
While organic cotton is less toxic to the environment, it takes over twice as much water to produce than conventional cotton.
The class of pesticides used on cotton is one of the main suspects in the worldwide bee die-off. Pollinators such as bees play a critical role in pollinating the crops humans rely on for food.
The bottom line: Cotton may be a natural fiber, but it's rough on the planet. We shouldn't use it for disposables.
Remember that ALL manufacturing (even manufacturing of organic fabrics) has an impact on the environment. Remember that reusables are practically always "greener" than disposables, even disposables made of something "green." An organic disposable, like organic cotton rounds, is going to be "dirtier" than almost any reusable fabric item.
Since our fabric works better than anything else we tried, we're hopeful it will "convert" more beauty fans away from disposables.
We actually did the math--because our fabric lasts years longer than any natural fabric we've found, it winds up having a fraction of the carbon footprint. Bottom line--we did the math, and our fabric is "greener" than any natural fabric because of its long life.
YOU DESERVE BETTER. SO DOES THE PLANET.

Q: How do I check if an embed is an image preview? I am trying to check for embeds in a discord channel and delete them. However, messages with links that have a preview are also getting deleted.
Here is my code.
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if len(message.embeds) > 0 and message.channel.id in chat_channels:
         await message.delete()
         await message.channel.send("No embeds in this channel")

A: Discord converts uses embeds to show previews from links, hence it is also shown as an embed in message.embeds. If we take a look at the api docs, we can see that there are several types of embeds, almost all are some form of preview embeds.
here is the json of an image preview.
{
    "thumbnail":{
        "url":"https:\/\/cdn.discordapp.com\/avatars\/488278979900342282\/a738115e01fe31d415af7b7d4b862acb.png?size=1024",
        "proxy_url":"https:\/\/images-ext-2.discordapp.net\/external\/QODrzk5Or_q-xaVaACaXt_GVP8m7ZQ34ezGFwJgrAK4\/%3Fsize%3D1024\/https\/cdn.discordapp.com\/avatars\/488278979900342282\/a738115e01fe31d415af7b7d4b862acb.png",
        "width":410,
        "height":410
    },
    "type":"image",
    "url":"https:\/\/cdn.discordapp.com\/avatars\/488278979900342282\/a738115e01fe31d415af7b7d4b862acb.png?size=1024"
}

The type of image previews are image. If the embed was manually sent by a bot or a webhook, it would have the type rich, we can use this to ignore previews for your case.
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if len(message.embeds) > 0 and message.channel.id in chat_channels:
       if any('rich' == embed.type for embed in message.embeds):
            #remove message, as it has a rich embed


I use to think sobriety was just about not drinking and trudging through life and trying to tell people not to do what you did. Today I know that sobriety for me is a simple equation.
But what is serenity? Better still how do I find it, reach it, etc? By definition serenity is the state or quality of being serene, calm, or tranquil; sereneness. Serene is calm, peaceful, tranquil; unruffled. The word originated in between the late 1400s to early 1500s. It came from the latin word serenus which was in reference to weather and a clear sky.
For me serenity comes with a realization that the only thing I have power over in many situations is my emotions, my actions, and most of my thoughts. Serenity is an inner peace attained by letting go and letting God. This is where I come to qualms with the program of AA.
A higher power, is merely a descriptive term for God, it does not identify who the true God is. There is only one God, for all of us, whether one accepts Him as God or not; it is the triune God with His three natures the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. I understand that AA is a program of attraction rather than promotion. And for good reason, to save individuals from the disease of addiction no matter what they happen to believe in.
However what good is it to have a sober life when your soul is damned for eternity? Let's be realistic, when we die we either go to Heaven or Hell, forever. If one used a scale to measure their life, with the things they were suppose to be doing in order to know, love, and serve Our Creator to get to Heaven; and they started at zero (which is untrue from original sin, but lets say we start at zero), then addictive behavior or alcoholism would put them in the negative.
Achieving sobriety therefore, cancels out addiction and removes that distraction from our lives. However, it does not set us on the path that Christ Himself gave us through the Church He established. Sobriety may give us a clearer mindset, but it does not give one the Faith. AA is a program based on mostly charity (which is essential, but not the only requirement for salvation), and a touch of spirituality.
Sober living is wonderful, in just the short time I've been sober I have learned and gained appreciation for so much. Being sober is the way one should be to make life decisions. But what good is a sober life if it is not used to glorify the One True God? Being sober is not the end all be all. And being sober without the Faith established by Christ is likened to trying to catch up to someone running down the street by jumping on a treadmill.
Why can't we strive to be saints? Is this not what we are called to be? I understand the humility of this statement, could it be modified to state that we are not saints but we are striving to be in the eyes of Our God?
Considering how many examples of saints are across the world in all the ages…even if one were to not believe about one example of a story they hear about a saint; there are too many accounts of people in all places and times, testimonials from Catholics, Protestants, and people from all different beliefs converting because of these Catholic saints!
Saints who so loved God and did His will that they actually had supernatural abilities!! Testimony after testimony after testimony…all over the world!
Sobriety is undoubtedly a good thing. When, like all good things, it is used for the glory of God. Why all for Gods glory? Because we have absolutely no right to claim anything as our own. Not even our own bodies, it's all His, everything is His. We are living on borrowed time, why? Because He loves us and wants us to be with Him.
All good comes from God as we know, but have we given that obvious statement much thought? If all good comes from God then the things that are not good do not come from God. The things that appear as good are deceitful lies that steer us away from God to Hell. Sobriety is the tool we have to see through the lies. This is how we discover objective truths, and this is how we find God and how to serve Him the right way.
Truth is in history, its in day to day activity, its in everything. The truth about what things really are, what truly matters and what matters not is where you find God and from God and His Will you can achieve true serenity, true happiness, and true life for eternity. His Will is not easy according to the comforts of the world and society, and it's because the world lies to us. It makes us comfortable so the devil can take us from Him who made us.
True serenity is found in doing the Will of God. Doing otherwise leads to impossible expectations that don't get met and get people angry, lustful, or drunk. Sorting through the world of chaos and finding His Will for us will lead us to a perfect peace we will never know here.
I appreciate that post. I can relate very much, those who do not understand or are not willing to understand can be hard to deal with. I do not want to downplay AA because I attend regularly. Its by being with alcoholics, sharing our experience, strength, and hope that we get better. But for me sobriety has just been the beginning. One day at a time!

FITC anti-human CD282 (TLR2) Antibody
TL2.1 (See other available formats)
HCDM listed
Toll like receptor 2, TIL4, CD282
Mouse IgG2a, κ
Human peripheral blood monocytes stained with TL2.1 FITC
Compare all formats See FITC spectral data
309705 25 tests $105.00
309706 100 tests $240.00
Toll-like receptors are type I transmembrane signaling receptors which are critical for the innate host defense to pathogens. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), known as CD282, has been identified as a receptor that is central to the innate immune system's response to lipoproteins of Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria, as well as a receptor for peptidoglycan and lipoteichoic acid and other bacterial cell membrane products.
Human TLR2-transfected CHO cells
Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide and 0.2% (w/v) BSA (origin USA).
The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography, and conjugated with FITC under optimal conditions.
Lot-specific (please contact technical support for concentration and total µg amount, or use our Lookup tool if you have a lot number.)
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is 5 µl per million cells in 100 µl staining volume or 5 µl per 100 µl of whole blood.
Blue Laser (488 nm)
The TL2.1 antibody is useful for blocking studies. It has been reported to block TLR2 agonist-induced cellular activation. Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: inhibition of PGP activity and blocking of cytokine production1,3,7, immunoprecipitation1, immunohistochemistry of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed frozen sections2 and immunohistochemistry of HOPE-fixed (HEPES-glutamic acid buffer-mediated organic solvent protection effect) paraffin-embedded sections4 , and Western blotting2. For highly sensitive assays, we recommend Ultra-LEAF™ purified antibody (Cat. No. 309716) (Endotoxin < 0.01 EU/µg, Azide-Free, 0.2 µm filtered).
