Oligodendrocyte dysfunction in human age-related cognitive decline
Abstract Cognitive decline in aging impacts quality of life, for which therapeutic interventions are lacking. Why some individuals experience more severe cognitive decline with aging is unclear. Here we uncover a role for the brain’s myelin-forming cells—oligodendrocytes—in explaining this variance.
What Happened on Easter Morning?
The women started early because they wanted time to cherish the memory of Jesus, who had died two days earlier. Their journey to the tomb was motivated by love, but it was absolutely devoid of faith. Whatever faith they had in Christ had been overwhelmed by the darkness of Calvary. Faith was gone; all that was left was love. Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James (Luke 24:10) were part of a group who traveled with Jesus and the twelve disciples.

So Big it’s Boring: The Rise of Utility-Scale Solar
In 2015, I was sitting with representatives of Strata Solar, Southern Company and the Arkansas Utility Commission, waiting to go onstage . We were the last session of the last day of the conference in question—a tough time slot. The speakers were talking about that bit of bad luck, and joking that utility solar doesn’t get any love. Then someone chimed in, “Demand response, EVs, flow batteries — those are cool subjects. But the four of us know utility solar makes the real impact.
Engineering 'tea bacteria' could lead to advanced materials | Imperial News | Imperial College London
Bacterial cellulose developed by the Imperial team Scientists and students have developed the DNA tools to modify bacteria normally found in fermented tea so they can customise cellulose production. Cellulose is harvested in huge amounts from trees and plants to make materials like paper and cardboard. It’s also produced in a very strong and pure form by some harmless bacteria.
Challenger :: Indie Shuffle
With delicate strings, unobtrusive drums, and ever-so-sweet vocals, "Challenger", the new single from Brooklyn-based duo Toledo is the perfect indie track for an easy-listening type of weekend. The song was written about a not-so-distant dystopian future, where art and joyful expression are considered acts of rebellion. It's accompanied by a video that's rich with self-driving cars, VCR players, gentle hip-sways, mischievous smiles, and lots of hill-frolicking...so basically, everything you need.
WoodMac: Large-Scale Solar Holds Cost Edge Despite ITC Stepdown, Coronavirus Impacts
Voluntary procurement of utility solar remains the top driver of U.S. utility PV in development, according to Wood Mackenzie. WoodMac defines voluntary procurement as procurement based solely on the economic competitiveness against other energy sources of electricity generation. Procurement of utility solar by corporate offtakers currently ranks second overall.
The Power of Noticing: A Review of Spencer Tweedy’s “Observations: Year One”
The moment that spurred Spencer Tweedy to write daily observations began when a man with a white handlebar mustache in Union Park ate whole dill pickles out of a Ziploc bag. With a distinct moment like this one—the kind that reminds you that you live in a big city—Tweedy realized doing something small each day leads to something larger.
Golden Daze - Blue Bell
The LA transplants Golden Daze bring an autumnal warmth to their songwriting. Originally from the Midwest, the duo creates a dreamy and reflective mood reminiscent of watching the seasons change in the Great Lake states. By weaving interlocking guitars and adding sparse, reverberated drums, Golden Daze casts a hypnotic spell with their recent single “Blue Bell.” When paired with their church-boy-like harmonies, it rings like a Simon & Garfunkel tune for the Bandcamp age.
Lala Lala & WHY? - Siren 042
Chicago band Lala Lala makes tenderness into a sound on their recent collaboration with WHY?’s Yoni Wolf. Lala Lala’s Lillie West has been a “super fan” of WHY? for years and the pureness rings throughout “Siren 042.” "There was a siren ringing in my head,” West sings, “But I wasn't listening, so I did what I did." Big drums, shimmery guitars, and West and Wolf’s voices weaving in and out all create the sound of a reflective and painful-but-cathartic meditation.
Oligomerization of Ethanol-Derived Propene and Isobutene Mixtures to Transportation Fuels: Catalyst and Process Considerations
Oligomerization of Ethanol-Derived Propene and Isobutene Mixtures to Transportation Fuels: Catalyst and Process Considerations Johnny Saavedra, Robert A Dagle, Vanessa Dagle, Colin Smith and Karl O. Albrecht Abstract In this paper, we report on solid acid catalysts and process conditions suitable for oligomerization of ethanol-derived mixed olefins propene and isobutene to transportation fuels, specifically targeting high-octane gasoline or jet-range hydrocarbons with high carbon efficiency.
Fires are major cause of wind farm failure, according to new research
Fire is the second leading cause of accidents in wind turbines, after blade failure, according to research out today. Wind farming is one of the leading industries in the renewable energy sector. However, the industry faces a number of challenges, such as opposition by wind farm lobbyists. Today’s research suggests that incidents of wind turbines catching fire are a big problem that is not currently being fully reported.
St Mary the Virgin's Well
Hi, my name is David Wood. I live in Townsville, Queensland, Queensland and am a Family Historian. In 1992, as an Australian Serviceman on exchange, I had the great honour of attending Remembrance Day Service at St Mary's. In attendance were 120 Fellow Australian Servicemen and a number of British Dignitaries.
Sustainable Gas Institute launches at Imperial
A collaborative centre of excellence for research, technology and education in gas sustainability launched at Imperial College London. Researchers at the Sustainable Gas Institute, established by Imperial and BG Group, will translate research into practical solutions for the energy industry, the international research community, policy makers and investors.
Disaster Politics: It’s all about optics
Hurricane Michael swept both gubernatorial candidates away from scheduled campaign stops in The Villages on Saturday, but make no mistake — they very much remain on the campaign trail.The catastrophic Category 4 storm that pummeled the Panhandle four days ago also impacted Florida’s other top race, canceling the Oct. 16 Senate debate.But make no mistake — those candidates haven’t stopped trolling for votes, either.
Policing politicians
Florida has five weeks until Election Day, but officials are already busy with reports of campaign irregularities. Raising money, getting the message out and winning votes aren’t the only burdens a candidate bears. They’re also responsible for operating their campaign on the legal up-and-up. “It’s a little early, yet, but there’ve been some complaints,” said District Manager Richard Baier, who pointed to door-to-door solicitation as a common infraction.
Despite Tariffs, Utility Solar Is Picking Up Steam
There is no doubt that the Trump administration’s tariffs on solar modules slowed procurement of solar in the United States, with front-of-the-meter utility photovoltaics taking the biggest hit. Through the second half of 2017, as the U.S. International Trade Commission deliberated on Suniva’s trade case, relatively few new power-purchase agreements (PPAs) were signed as developers waited to see how severe the tariffs would be, amounting only to a total of 2.0 gigawatts.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial,... (C) Colin Smith
The statue was unveiled in 1948 and sits in a garden dedicated to FDR. This is in an area with an agglomeration of embassies, including the US Embassy which occupies the western side of the square. The flowers above were laid after the attack on the World Trade Centre in New York.
Candidates court the veteran vote
In military jargon, The Villages is a target-rich environment for politicians.The recent spate of politicians passing through to shake veterans’ hands underscores the importance of this voting bloc. And as Florida heads toward the Nov. 6 general election with two of the most heated races in the country, how veterans vote has a very real chance of being a deciding factor.

New technology aims to make travel faster and easier
Vacations and the way you experience them continue to change with technology.Soon it may take just a scan of your face to board an international flight, or just the sound of your voice or tap of your fingers to control the thermostat in a hotel room.This isn’t a plot from a science-fiction novel. These are just a few of the ways travel is evolving as a result of technology.
And we’re off to the races
Election season starts heating up today under Florida’s summer sun.Qualifying by candidates seeking state, county and local offices this year starts today and ends at noon Friday.
What Happens When You Pray
“The word intercede means literally, to move or pass between. It is to stand in the gap between two parties. This is what Jesus Christ is doing now! He stands in the gap between us and the Father, bringing us to the Father and holding us in relationship with him. He lives for this purpose! There is never a time when he is not actively engaged in this ministry on our behalf.
Sowing Seeds For Healthy Lifestyles
One of the largest organic farming undertakings in the Southeast — The Villages Grown — is quickly taking shape with plans to bring its first crop to market later this year.“The Villages recognizes that better health is a top priority for many Villagers, and it’s no secret that food and nutrition are imperative to wellness,” said Kelsea Manly, The Villages director of operations.
Review: 'A Quiet Place' is a unique theater experience
Picture 100 people all sitting in a dark room. Groups of friends gently chatting all over the theater. Some people are already chowing down on their popcorn, others are checking their phones for the last time before (hopefully) hiding them away when the movie starts. Suddenly, all those people from all different walks of life, are enjoying the same experience together.What makes "A Quiet Place" so special, is how it takes this experience to a level I have never experienced before.
US Corporate Solar Procurement Surges in 2017
Corporate procurement of solar is on the rise for both distributed generation and offsite utility PV. As a testament to that trend, Apple hit its 100 percent renewable energy target this week, Google achieved its 100 percent renewable energy goal earlier in the month, and Microsoft recently set a new solar procurement record.
Walking Away From Faith
Every Christian knows someone who is pulling away from faith in Jesus Christ. The young person brought up in a Christian home who now has little interest in the faith he once professed; the enthusiastic volunteer who seems close to leaving the church; the friend who has suffered great loss and now wonders why he or she should believe at all. What we see and experience is a microcosm of a well-documented trend in our culture: People are abandoning faith in growing numbers.
Forteviot Burial Chamber
Early Bronze Age grave discovered in Perthshire Archaeologists have discovered a spectacular Early Bronze Age grave at the Scottish Royal centre at Forteviot. In dramatic scenes near the Perthshire village last week, a giant crane was brought in to lift a massive stone covering a 4000 year old burial chamber. As the stone was lifted, there were cries of astonishment from the watching archaeologists as an intact burial chamber was revealed.

St Martha's on the Hill Earth Circles
"On the southern side of St. Martha's Hill, are two distinct but small circles; each formed by a single bank and ditch: one of them is about 30 yards in diameter; the other, 28 yards. Whether these circles were ever connected with Druidical rites, or not, must remain questionable.
Intracranial haemangiopericytoma: a rare case presenting with haemorrhage
Haemangiopericytomas (HPCs) are rare intracranial tumours. Until 1993 HPC was considered as an angioplastic variant of meningioma.1 The recently published WHO classification of central nervous system (CNS) tumours classifies HPCs as mesenchymal non-meningothelial tumours combined with solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs), graded 1–3, and it is likely that this nomenclature will further evolve in the future.2 While these are highly vascular tumours, they often present with mass effect.

Why is Godliness with Contentment Great Gain? - The Aquila Report
“A Christian comes to contentment, not so much by way of addition as by way of subtraction… Contentment does not come by adding to what you have, but by subtracting from what you desire. The world says that you will find contentment when your possessions rise to meet the level of your desires… The Christian has another way to contentment, that is, he can bring his desires down to his possessions.” Godliness is a God-centered life.
Lloyd George’s Christmas present to the British people - Cyprus Mail
By Colin Smith On 11 December 1917 celebratory peals in London and the Vatican announced Britain’s first significant land victory in World War One. But though the conflict was well into its fourth year the bells were not ringing for ground gained across the Channel where most of Britain’s fighting was taking place. They were applauding a more distant triumph. General Sir Edmund Allenby had just defeated a German-led Turkish army and captured Jerusalem.
Why Christians Should Not Get Angry with the Lost - The Aquila Report
“Blaring the horns of condemnation may give vent to Christian frustrations, but it does nothing to solve the human problem. People who are blind, bound, and dead need a Savior who is able to open their eyes to the truth, set them free from the powers that bind them, and raise them up in the power of a new life—and this is precisely what God offers to all of us in Jesus Christ.” Imagine for a moment that you are responsible for parking at the Super Bowl.
How To Measure The Implicit Biases We May Not Even Be Aware We Have
Job applicants at a career fair might be up against the implicit biases of the hirer. BYU–Hawaii, CC BY-NC-ND When most people think of bias, they imagine an intentional thought or action – for example, a conscious belief that women are worse than men at math or a deliberate decision to pull someone over because of his or her race. Gender and race biases in the United States have historically been overt, intentional and highly visible.
Researchers develop wallpaper bio-solar panel
A two-in-one solar bio-battery and solar panel has been created by researchers who printed living cyanobacteria and circuitry onto paper. Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic micro-organisms that have been on Earth for billions of years. They are thought to be the primary reason why the Earth's atmosphere is oxygen rich.

Gender and race biases in the United States have historically been overt, intentional and highly visible. But, changes to the legal system and norms guiding acceptable behavior in the U.S. have led to clear reductions in such explicit bias.
