Stem Cell Basics: Introduction Laboratory studies of stem cells enable scientists to learn about the cells’ essential properties and what makes them different from specialized cell types. Scientists are already using stem cells in the laboratory to screen new drugs and to develop model systems to study normal growth and identify the causes of birth defects.

Imaging Traumatic Brain Injury October 2011 Imaging Traumatic Brain Injury Researchers Seek Objective Measures of Elusive Problem By David Yeager Radiology Today Vol. 12 No. 10 P. 30 Military personnel are disproportionately affected, so the U.S. Department of Defense created an institute to learn more about TBI. Since ancient times, the dilemma of correlating symptoms with causes has bedeviled medical practitioners. In many ways, this challenge has come to define what many have called the signature wound of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars: traumatic brain injury (TBI). Because TBI occurs inside the body, medical imaging has been invaluable for detecting and diagnosing severe and moderate cases, but mild TBI has proven to be much trickier to pin down. “A lot of these guys can’t pick out a box of laundry detergent in the store, anymore,” says Gerard Riedy, MD, PhD, the chief of neuroimaging at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE). The U.S. Riedy seeks to develop an objective measure for TBI. Where To?

10 Awesome Online Classes You Can Take For Free Cool, but you need iTunes for nearly everything, and that gets an 'F.' Are there really no other places to get these lessons?

METH.ORG SPACE Gallery Half a world away from Cairo’s Tahrir Square, an ageing American intellectual shuffles around his cluttered terrace house in a working-class Boston neighbourhood. His name is Gene Sharp and for the world’s dictators his ideas can be the catalyst for the end of their regime. Few people outside the world of academia have ever heard his name, but his writings on nonviolent revolution (most notably ‘From Dictatorship to Democracy’, a 93-page, 198-step guide to toppling dictators, available free for download in 40 languages) have inspired a new generation of protesters living under authoritarian regimes who yearn for democratic freedom. His ideas have taken root in places as far apart as Burma, Thailand, Bosnia, Estonia, Iran, Indonesia, Zimbabwe, Venezuela and now in Syria, Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East as old orders crumble amidst the protests of their disgruntled citizens. This new film HOW TO START A REVOLUTION reveals how Gene’s ideas work in action. Followed by discussion.

THE GELB CENTER Brain Explorer ENNEAGRAM Copyright © Ewald Berkers The Enneagram system The Enneagram is a personality typing system that consists of nine different types. Everyone is considered to be one single type, although one can have traits belonging to other ones. While it's uncertain whether this type is genetically determined, many believe it is already in place at birth. The nine types (or "enneatypes", "ennea" means "nine") are universally identified by the numbers 1 to 9. People of a particular type have several characteristics in common, but they can be quite different nevertheless. Wings Usually one has characteristics of one of the types that lie adjacent to one's own that are more prominent. To find out which Enneagram type you are, see which description fits you most, or do the free Enneagram Test on this site. Enneagram type descriptions Type 1 - The Reformer Perfectionists, responsible, fixated on improvement Ones are essentially looking to make things better, as they think nothing is ever quite good enough.

Carbon credit A carbon credit is a generic term for any tradable certificate or permit representing the right to emit one tonne of carbon dioxide or the mass of another greenhouse gas with a carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) equivalent to one tonne of carbon dioxide.[1][2][3] Carbon credits and carbon markets are a component of national and international attempts to mitigate the growth in concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs). One carbon credit is equal to one metric tonne of carbon dioxide, or in some markets, carbon dioxide equivalent gases. Carbon trading is an application of an emissions trading approach. The goal is to allow market mechanisms to drive industrial and commercial processes in the direction of low emissions or less carbon intensive approaches than those used when there is no cost to emitting carbon dioxide and other GHGs into the atmosphere.
