How do you design a Passive House in a Subtropical climate like Brisbane?Today's episode is the fourth and final episode focussing on the design specifics for each of the four climate zones around Australia, where most of our population lives. I talk to very experienced passive house designer Tiago Guerreiro, a director at the award-winning design and construction company H4 Living based in Brisbane. In this episode, Tiago explains the Passive House design specifics for Subtropical, plus he shares heaps of other information and insights about designing and building from his years of experience to help you better understand Passive House.

KEY POINTS SUMMARY1. The 5 Passive House design components for a subtropical climate are as follows:Windows are typically double-glazed and always operable. Windows should enable cross ventilation, purging of any excess heat build-up, and connection to the outdoors to enjoy comfortable external temperatures over spring and autumn and much of winter. The fresh air circulation system for subtropical is an ERV (energy recovery ventilation system) which is different to the HRV systems used in the cooler southern states. Wall insulation can fit within a typical 90mm timber stud framed wall thickness. No under-slab insulation is required because connecting to comfortable earth temperatures (usually around 22-23 degrees Centigrade) is beneficial for cooling. Only one layer of external wrapping is required; the vapour-permeable weatherproof membrane on the outside of the home is taped, sealed and made airtight. An additional internal membrane may be used to obtain certainty of airtightness, but it can be avoided in most cases to reduce costs. Removing thermal bridges is always essential to avoid heat gain.2. Effective shading to avoid all heat gain is critical - no sun can enter the house. Passive houses retain heat very effectively because they are well-insulated and sealed; therefore, the hotter the climate zone, the more shading is required.3. Humidity and condensation are major issues in subtropical design. It's always essential to run a Wufi analysis (which is a moisture study) as well as the PHPP modelling to resolve any moisture issues and prevent unseen mould growth in the building structure over the long term. . If you'd like to hear more about the Wufi analysis you can find more information in Episode 4. Passive House Consultant and Certifier – with Luc...

Arun Menawat, CEO of Profound Medical, discusses the challenges of treating prostate cancer and how traditional treatments like prostate removal or radiation often result in side effects and complications. While historically, a PSA blood test has been used for diagnosis, an MRI provides a more precise and efficient diagnostic tool. In addition, Profound is using real-time MRI-guided thermal ultrasound to precisely target and kill cancer cells while maintaining vital functions. Arun explains, "MRI is the best way to really diagnose prostate cancer. And because you can see inside, you can see the cellular structure and that is what's important when physicians review. Our primary message is if you're using the MRI to diagnose, why would you not use that MRI also to treat the patient? Because you can see the urethra where urine is flowing. You can see the ejaculatory duct, where it merges with the urethra. You can get a very good idea of where the nerve bundles are." "Our technology is a combination of using real-time MRI, and we use a very safe way of keeping the urethra at body temperature. Still, we use ultrasound to gently heat the tissue just to kill temperature, typically about 55° Centigrade. So think about this: Men will go into the MR, they will be asleep, they won't feel anything. We insert a catheter right into the center of the prostate. We have water flowing through it, so the urethra that is for urine is always safe. Then we supply some ultrasound through that catheter, and the sound gets absorbed by the prostate tissue, which gently heats. The MRI that we use for imaging, also in real-time, gives us the temperature of the prostate." #ProfoundMedical #ProstateCancer #BPH #Urology #MensHealth #MRI #ScienceandTechnology #Radiology #TULSApro profoundmedical.com Listen to the podcast here

The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), in Parashat Balak, discusses the concept of "Yayin Mebushal" – wine that has been boiled. Although Halacha forbids using wine that has been touched by a non-Jew, this prohibition does not apply to Yayin Mebushal. Once wine has been boiled, it can no longer become prohibited through contact with a non-Jew. At one point does wine become considered "boiled" and thus attain the status of Yayin Mebushal? The Ben Ish Hai writes that wine is considered "Mebushal" once it is brought to a boil and some wine has evaporated. Once evaporation begins to occur, the wine has the status of Yayin Mebushal and cannot become forbidden through contact with a non-Jew. Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in his Halichot Olam (Balak, 6), clarifies that the wine must be boiled at a temperature of 80 degrees Centigrade (176 degrees Fahrenheit). Accordingly, Hacham Ovadia adds, wine that has undergone pasteurization is, strictly speaking, considered Yayin Mebushal and cannot become forbidden through contact with a non-Jew. Other authorities – including Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv (contemporary) and Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Jerusalem, 1910-1995), disagree with this ruling, and maintain that the process of pasteurization does not render wine Yayin Mabushal. Hacham Ovadia therefore concludes that one should preferably ensure that pasteurized wine does not come in contact with a non-Jew if it had not been boiled in addition to pasteurization. If, however, a non-Jew did touch pasteurized wine, it is permissible "Be'di'abad" (after the fact). Hacham Ovadia makes reference in this context to the principle of "Ha'Torah Hasa Al Mamonam Shel Yisrael," which means that the Torah is sensitive to people's financial constraints, and does not want to cause them unnecessary financial losses. Therefore, since Halacha does, strictly speaking, consider pasteurized wine "Mebushal," we may permit drinking pasteurized wine that came in contact with a gentile, even if ideally this situation should be avoided. The Ben Ish Hai notes that boiling wine can only prevent wine from becoming forbidden; it cannot reverse the status of forbidden wine. Meaning, if non-Mebushal wine comes in contact with a gentile and thus becomes forbidden, it remains forbidden even if it is then boiled. Boiling only has the effect of preventing it from becoming forbidden if a gentile touches it. Furthermore, if Yayin Mebushal is mixed together with ordinary, non-Mebushal wine, and a non-Jew touches the mixture, then it becomes forbidden. Even though the Yayin Mebushal constitutes the majority of the mixture, the mixture nevertheless becomes forbidden through contact with a non-Jew. As long as there is even a drop of non-Mebushal wine in the mixture, it can become forbidden. Summary: Wine that has been boiled does not become forbidden if it is touched by a non-Jew. Some authorities maintain that pasteurized wine falls into this category, but it is preferable not to rely on this view, and to ensure that pasteurized wine does not come in contact with a non-Jew. Nevertheless, if a non-Jew does touch pasteurized wine, it may be used. If boiled wine is mixed with even a small amount of ordinary wine, and a non-Jew touches the mixture, it is forbidden.

Halacha forbids drinking wine belonging to a gentile and even wine belonging to a Jew that was touched by a gentile. There is, however, a famous exception to this rule, namely, that "Yayin Mebushal" – wine that has been cooked – does not become forbidden if it is handled by a non-Jew. Once the wine has been heated, it remains permissible even if a non-Jew touches it. There is an important debate among the Halachic authorities regarding the level of heat required for wine to be considered "Mebushal." Whereas some authorities maintained that it suffices for the wine to be hot enough to cause one's finger to recoil on contact, others, including the Shach (Rav Shabtai Ha'kohen, 1622-1663), required heating the wine until it boils and begins to evaporate. This debate directly affects the status the status of wine or grape juice that has undergone the process of pasteurization, which conventionally is done by bringing the liquid to a temperature of 85 degrees Centigrade (approximately 170 degrees Fahrenheit), but not to the boiling point. (It should also be noted that as the vats are generally covered during pasteurization, no wine evaporates during the process.) According to the Shach, this process does not suffice to render the wine or grape juice "Mebushal," and this is, indeed, the ruling of several authorities, including Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Israel, 1923-1998), in his Or Le'sion (vol. 2, chapter 20, note 18). This was also the view of Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Israel, 1910-1995). Rav Moshe Feinstein (Russia-New York, 1895-1986), however, in his Iggerot Moshe (Y.D. 1:50), accepted the lenient position, that pasteurization suffices to render wine or grape juice "Mebushal." Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in his work Yabia Omer (vol. 8, Y.D. 15), ruled that one may rely on the lenient view of Rav Moshe Feinstein, but it is nevertheless preferable to treat pasteurized wine or grape juice as not "Mebushal" unless it was brought to a boil. If such wine or grape juice was touched by a gentile, one may drink it, but preferably one should not allow a gentile to come in contact with such wine, in deference to the stringent ruling. In light of the Hacham's ruling, one cannot necessarily rely on a wine company's label that says that the wine is "Mebushal." Before allowing a non-Jew to handle the wine, one should determine whether the wine was brought to a boil, or merely pasteurized. If it was just pasteurized, then the wine is still kosher, but one should try not to allow a non-Jew to touch the wine. As mentioned, however, if a non-Jew did touch such wine, it is nevertheless kosher. Summary: Wine that was touched by a non-Jew may not be drunk, unless it is "Mebushal" – meaning, it was heated. According to some opinions, wine is considered "Mebushal" only if it is brought to a boil, and thus pasteurization does not suffice. It is preferable to follow this view, and thus one should not allow a non-Jew to touch his wine until he has verified that the wine had been brought to a boil.

Earth is now considered to be in a “danger zone,” a new study says. An international group of scientists called Earth Commission did the study. It appeared in the publication Nature. The researchers report that conditions on Earth have pushed past seven of eight safety limits established by science. The experts say the planet is very sick and all life, humans included, face extreme risks as a result. The study examines climate, air pollution, fertilizer pollution in water, groundwater supplies, fresh surface water, the unbuilt natural environment and the larger human-built environment. The research shows each of those areas have passed into dangerous conditions worldwide. Only air pollution is within the identified safety zone, the scientists report.一项新研究称，地球现在被认为处于“危险地带”。一个名为地球委员会的国际科学家小组进行了这项研究。它出现在《自然》杂志上。研究人员报告说，地球上的条件已经超过了科学规定的八个安全极限中的七个。专家说，地球病得很重，包括人类在内的所有生命都因此面临极端风险。该研究考察了气候、空气污染、水中肥料污染、地下水供应、地表淡水、未建成的自然环境和更大的人造环境。研究表明，这些地区中的每一个都已在全球范围内陷入危险境地。科学家报告说，只有空气污染在确定的安全区内。However, the report notes that air pollution is dangerous at local levels. The study found problem “hot spot” areas throughout the world, much of it from climate change. About two-thirds of Earth does not meet safe levels for freshwater supply, scientists said. Joyeeta Gupta is the Earth Commission co-chair and professor of environment at the University of Amsterdam. She told reporters that if planet Earth went to a medical exam, “our doctor would say that the Earth is really quite sick right now and it … is also affecting the people living on Earth.” But the planet can recover if people make changes, the researchers report. Such reforms would include reducing the use of coal, oil and natural gas and improving treatment of land and water, the scientists said.然而，报告指出，空气污染在地方层面是危险的。该研究发现了世界各地的问题“热点”地区，其中大部分来自气候变化。科学家说，地球上大约三分之二的地区不符合淡水供应的安全水平。 Joyeeta Gupta 是阿姆斯特丹大学地球委员会联合主席和环境学教授。她告诉记者，如果地球去体检，“我们的医生会说，地球现在真的病得很厉害，它……也影响到生活在地球上的人们。”但研究人员报告说，如果人们做出改变，地球就能恢复。科学家说，此类改革将包括减少煤炭、石油和天然气的使用，以及改善土地和水的处理。But “we are moving in the wrong direction on basically all of these,” said study lead author Johan Rockstrom, from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. The team of about 40 scientists created measurable boundaries for each environmental category. They decided the level where it is safe for the planet. The point at which it becomes harmful for groups of people, the researchers called a justice issue. Rockstrom said he thinks of those points as setting up “a safety fence'' outside of which the risks become higher, but not necessarily disastrous. Rockstrom and other scientists have attempted in the past this type of measuring of Earth's connected ecosystems. The big difference in this attempt is that scientists also looked at local and area levels and added the idea of justice.但是，“我们基本上在所有这些方面都朝着错误的方向前进，”来自德国波茨坦气候影响研究所的研究主要作者 Johan Rockstrom 说。这个由大约 40 名科学家组成的团队为每个环境类别创建了可测量的界限。他们决定了地球安全的水平。研究人员称它对人群有害的程度称为正义问题。 Rockstrom 说，他认为这些要点是建立“安全围栏”，在围栏之外风险会更高，但不一定是灾难性的。 Rockstrom 和其他科学家过去曾尝试过对地球相连的生态系统进行这种测量。这次尝试的最大不同在于，科学家们还着眼于地方和地区层面，并加入了正义的理念。The justice part includes fairness between young and old generations, different nations and even different species. Frequently, it applies to conditions that harm people more than the planet. An example of that is climate change. The report uses the same boundary of 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming that international leaders agreed upon in the 2015 Paris climate agreement. The world has so far warmed about 1.1 degrees Celsius so it has not crossed that safety fence, Rockstrom and Gupta said. But that does not mean people are not being hurt. “What we are trying to show through our paper is that even at 1 degree Centigrade there is a huge amount of damage taking place,” Gupta said. The planetary safety boundary of 1.5 degrees has not been reached. But the “just” boundary of 1 degree where people are hurt has been.正义部分包括年轻一代和老一代之间、不同国家甚至不同物种之间的公平。通常，它适用于对人类的伤害大于对地球的伤害。这方面的一个例子是气候变化。该报告使用了国际领导人在 2015 年巴黎气候协议中商定的 1.5 摄氏度升温边界。 Rockstrom 和 Gupta 说，到目前为止，世界已经变暖了大约 1.1 摄氏度，因此还没有超过安全栅栏。但这并不意味着人们没有受到伤害。 “我们试图通过我们的论文表明，即使在 1 摄氏度时，也会发生巨大的破坏，”古普塔说。尚未达到 1.5 度的行星安全边界。但是人们受到伤害的 1 度的“公正”边界已经存在Stanford environmental studies head Chris Field was not part of the research. He said he would want even more strict boundaries. “Sustainability and justice are inseparable,” he said.斯坦福大学环境研究负责人克里斯菲尔德没有参与这项研究。他说他想要更严格的界限。 “可持续性和正义是密不可分的，”他说。

Für das große Finale bleibt eine einzelne Gelbe Kugel übrig...und die hat es in sich. Thomas und Henning stellen sich dieses Mal der (bisher jetzt) längsten und zornigsten Einsendung in einer extra langen Folge UX THERAPY.  Auf den ersten Blick beschreibt das anonyme Pamphlet eine mühsame UX “Karriereleiter” mit allerhand Rückschlägen, Entbehrungen und Enttäuschungen. Auf den zweiten Blick enthüllen sich jedoch einige dunkle Wahrheiten über die Schattenseite einer ganzen Branche. Und vor allem zeigt die Zuschrift eines: nämlich was Leidenschaft mit Leiden zu tun hat.  Kennt ihr auch solche Situationen? Habt ihr auch das Gefühl, euch in UX-Projekten abzuarbeiten und an Rahmenbedingungen, Teamkonstellationen oder psychischen Abgründen zu scheitern? Dann schreibt uns zwei, drei Sätze zu eurer Problematik und Henning und Thomas diskutieren dein Thema vielleicht in einer der nächsten Staffel von UX THERAPY.  

Es gibt sie immer wieder: Die Projekte, bei denen es einem wirklich schwerfällt, Fuß zu fassen und man das Gefühl hat, man weiß quasi nix und ist unwürdig. Meist sind das Projekte, in die man als UX-ler*in erst später dazukommt und einen Haufen Fragen hat, für deren Beantwortung aber keiner Zeit hat. Schnell steigt der Frust,man fühlt sich hilflos und kommt nicht so richtig voran... aber jemand anderen von seiner Arbeit abhalten, möchte man ja auch nicht. Allzu schnell verfällt man in sinnfreien Aktionismus, ohne wirklich effektiv zu sein. Willkommen im Hamsterrad. Wie kommt man hier wieder raus? Wer ist hier verantwortlich? Jede*r für sich selbst? Das gesamte Team? Der Antwort auf diese Frage nähern sich Henning und Thomas in dieser Folge von UX Therapy an.   Kennt ihr diese Situation? Habt ihr auch das Gefühl, euch in UX-Projekten abzuarbeiten und an Rahmenbedingungen, Teamkonstellationen oder psychischen Abgründen zu scheitern? Dann schreibt uns zwei, drei Sätze zu eurer Problematik und Henning und ich diskutieren dein Thema in einer der nächsten UX THERAPY Podcast Episoden.  

Auch wenn die meisten Stakeholder keine direkte Entscheidungsgewalt haben, wenn es um die Ausrichtung eines Produktes geht, sind sie dennoch elementarer Inputgeber im Alltag des UX Professionals. Deswegen ist es umso frustrierender, wenn das Stakeholder-Feedback eher bremst statt die eigene Arbeit zu beflügeln. Was tun, wenn aufgrund der vielen, teils auch konfligierenden Rückmeldungen Konzepte verwässert oder verkompliziert werden? Oder noch schlimmer: wenn man dieses Flickwerk am Ende auch noch  als das eigene Arbeitsergebnis vor dem Team vorstellen und verteidigen muss?   Kennt ihr diese Situation? Habt ihr auch das Gefühl, euch in UX Projekten abzuarbeiten und an Rahmenbedingungen, Teamkonstellationen oder psychischen Abgründen zu scheitern? Dann schreibt uns zwei, drei Sätze zu eurer Problematik und Henning und ich diskutieren dein Thema in einer der nächsten UX THERAPY Podcast Episoden.  

Eine Frage, die sich jede*r schon mal gestellt hat: Warum ist dieses Meeting keine Textnachricht? Muss ich jetzt wirklich die ganze Zeit zuhören, obwohl es eigentlich gar nicht relevant für mich ist? Ich könnte so viel anderes in dieser Zeit machen. Die Frustration über vermeintlich verheizte Arbeitszeit brodelt immer mal wieder in jedem/jeder von uns auf. Henning und Thomas widmen sich in dieser Folge genau diesem Gefühl. Wie viele Meetings sind denn wirklich nötig und wie pickt man sich die essenziellen Meetings raus? Wie kommuniziert man effizienter und verschwendet nicht die eigene kostbare Zeit oder die der Kolleg*innen? Was kommuniziert man implizit an andere, wenn man nicht kommuniziert? Denn man kann doch eigentlich gar nicht „nicht kommunizieren“!? Kennt ihr diese Situation? Habt ihr auch das Gefühl, euch in UX Projekten abzuarbeiten und an Rahmenbedingungen, Teamkonstellationen oder psychischen Abgründen zu scheitern? Dann schreibt uns zwei, drei Sätze zu eurer Problematik und Henning und ich diskutieren dein Thema in einer der nächsten UX THERAPY Podcast Episoden.

Wer kennt es nicht? Das Gefühl sich lieber selbst etwas zurückzunehmen, damit andere sich besser fühlen. Die meisten UX Professionals sind harmoniebedürftige #PeoplePleaser. Egal ob UX Researcher, Designer, Manager oder Consultant – wer den Mensch und seine Bedürfnisse in den Mittelpunkt stellt, dem fällt es schwer, die eigene Position über die des anderen zu stellen. Und eine gesunde Portion Rücksicht schadet ja auch niemandem. Was aber, wenn das People Pleasing überhandnimmt und man dem Widerspruch bewusst aus dem Weg geht? Die meisten UX Professionals sehen in ihrer Rolle ja schließlich einen Beratungsauftrag und möchten diesen effektiv umgesetzt wissen. Wie also zeigt man als UXler*in eine klare Haltung, kann in der Sache widersprechen und vermittelt trotzdem das Gefühl von Wertschätzung für das Gegenüber? Just diese Frage ist dieses Mal für Thomas und Henning aus dem gelben Lottobällchen herausgezogen worden. Kennt ihr diese Situation? Habt ihr auch das Gefühl, euch in UX Projekten abzuarbeiten und an Rahmenbedingungen, Teamkonstellationen oder psychischen Abgründen zu scheitern?

„Die Nutzer*innen wollen das!“ – Wer diesen Satz schon mal in einem Meeting mit Kund*innen gehört hat, ist wahrscheinlich eine waschechte UXler*in. Thomas und Henning müssen sich in dieser Folge auch mit genau diesem Satz auseinandersetzen und zwar anhand einer anonym eingesendeten Problemgeschichte zu einem der beliebtesten UI Screens überhaupt: dem Dashboard. Das Design eines Dashboards ist oft die Totschlaglösung für alle Nutzer*innen-Probleme, ungefähr so wie ein Hammer immer das richtige Werkzeug ist, wenn jedes Problem ein Nagel ist. Dabei gibt es bestimmte Nutzungskontexte, in denen ein Dashboard aus kognitionspsychologischer Sicht großen Sinn macht – aber eben auch andere Kontexte, wo es das nicht ist. Wie aber argumentiert man bei Kund*innen für den User, wenn der/die eigene Kunde*in resistent selbst gegen die schlüssigsten Argumente ist? Thomas und Henning finden es in Folge 3 für euch heraus. Kennt ihr diese Situation? Habt ihr auch das Gefühl, euch in UX Projekten abzuarbeiten und an Rahmenbedingungen, Teamkonstellationen oder psychischen Abgründen zu scheitern?

Kaum etwas verursacht mehr Sand im Getriebe als unterschiedliche Wissensstände oder Vorgehensweisen. Nur weil eine UX Beraterfirma, eine Inhouse-UX-Abteilung oder ein innovatives Digital-Lab das Thema UX mit jeder Pore lebt und liebt, heißt das leider noch lange nicht, dass das in den übrigen Abteilungen genauso passiert. Die sog. „UX Maturity“, also der „UX Reifegrad“, verschafft eine messbaren Einschätzung darüber, wie kontinuierlich und routiniert UX Methoden innerhalb eines Teams angewendet werden. Da die UX-Reifegrade verschiedener Akteure jedoch oft ein massives Gefälle bilden, entstehen in der Zusammenarbeit auch ebenso oft zerstörerische Dynamiken. Am Beginn der Skala entstehen Angst und Scham, weil UX Themen fremd, bremsend oder gar esoterisch wirken, am Ende der Skala entstehen Arroganz und fehlende Bodenhaftung. Treffen diese beiden Welten aufeinander, ist mit Verständnis und Teamwork der beiden Seiten nicht mehr zu rechnen. In diese Folge sprechen Henning und Thomas darüber, wie man auf Basis gezielter Kommunikation die Gräben zwischen Akteuren unterschiedlicher UX Reifegrade abbauen kann und zu neuem Zusammenhalt findet.

Video: Peterson Tells Millennials Why They CAN'T Change The World.. (8:03) “WATCH OUT! It started…” – Peter Schiff's Last WARNING (10:07) So THIS is how they plan to screw these companies, from inside out | Redacted with Clayton Morris (2:48) Higher vitamin C levels associated with lower mortality risk during 16-year period Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, November 25, 2022 A study reported in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health has uncovered an association between higher plasma vitamin C levels and a lower risk of mortality during more than 16 years of follow-up. The study included 473 men and 475 women between the ages of 53 and 84 who were enrolled in the General Population Nutrition Intervention Trial (NIT) cohort in Linxian, China. Plasma samples collected from 1999 to 2000 were analyzed for vitamin C levels. During the 16.4-year follow-up period, among subjects whose plasma vitamin C concentrations were among the top 25%, the adjusted risk of dying from any cause during follow-up was 25% lower than the risk experienced by subjects whose vitamin C levels were among the lowest quarter. Those whose plasma vitamin C levels were among the highest 25% had an adjusted risk of dying from cancer or stroke that was 28% lower and a risk of dying from heart disease that was 35% lower than subjects whose levels were lowest. When subjects with low vitamin C levels (defined as 28 micromoles per liter or below) and normal levels (greater than 28 micromoles per liter) were compared, a normal level was associated with a 23% lower risk of premature mortality and a 38% lower risk of dying from heart disease, in comparison with low levels. As a possible reason for their findings, Shao-Ming Wang and colleagues note that oxidative stress is lowered by vitamin C. Oxidative stress can promote endothelial dysfunction that underlies heart disease by increasing inflammation and lipid peroxidation and decreasing nitric oxide availability. Oxidative stress also causes DNA damage associated with cancer.”This study is the first to find the general benefits for higher plasma vitamin C concentrations on total and cause-specific mortalities, including cancer and heart diseases, in a long-term prospective cohort from China,” the authors announce. “In this long-term prospective Chinese cohort study, higher plasma vitamin C concentration was associated with lower total mortality, heart disease mortality, and cancer mortality. Our results corroborate the importance of adequate vitamin C to human health.” (next) Cauliflower Prevent Various Cancers: Thanks to Sulforaphane Compounds Rugters University, November 19, 2022 Cauliflower contains glucosinolates and thiocyanates — both sulfur-containing phytonutrients that cleanse the body of damaging free radicals. It also contains a substance called sulforaphane (SFN), a compound known to inhibit the occurrence of some cancers in rats caused by carcinogens, primarily colon cancer. In the Rutger's research, it was found once again that diet does matter in cancer prevention: “Our research has substantiated the connection between diet and cancer prevention, and it is now clear that the expression of cancer-related genes can be influenced by chemopreventive compounds in the things we eat,” said Kong, a professor of pharmaceutics in the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. In this particular study, mice fed a diet high in sulforaphane, the substance naturally occurring in cauliflower and broccoli, enjoyed fewer cancerous tumors, polyps, and smaller tumors in their colons. After three weeks, the mice fed sulforaphane had a 25% decline in tumors and those given double the dose had a 47% decrease in cancerous tumors. The results are obvious, “Our results showed that SFN produced its cancer preventive effects in the mice by inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death) and inhibiting proliferation of the tumors; however, it was not clear what mechanism SFN employs to accomplish this,” Kong said. Kong's team found that SFN suppressed certain enzymes or kinases that are highly expressed both in the mice and in patients with colon cancer. The researchers concluded that this enzymatic suppression activity is the likely basis for the chemopreventive effects of SFN. Along with cauliflower's high levels of SFN, it is also a powerful antioxidant with high levels of vitamin C and vitamin A, also known as cancer inhibitors. Researchers also believe that if you consume cauliflower and turmeric spice together, you can prevent or eradicate prostate cancer totally. The scientists, once again from Rutger's, tested turmeric and it's active compound known as curcumin along with phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a naturally occurring substance in certain vegetables such as watercress, cabbage, winter cress, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, cauliflower, kohlrabi and turnips. They found cancer-preventative qualities in the duo. (next) Increasing protein intake by 25 g a day could help women reduce hip fracture risk by up to 14% University of Leeds (UK), November 28, 2022 Increasing intake of protein and drinking regular cups of tea or coffee is one way women could reduce their risk of suffering a hip fracture, according to new research. Food scientists at the University of Leeds in the UK have found that for women, a 25 g a day increase in protein was associated with, on average, a 14% reduction in their risk of hip fracture. In a surprise twist, they also discovered that every additional cup of tea or coffee they drank was linked with a 4% reduction in risk. Writing in the journal Clinical Nutrition, the researchers noted that the protective benefits were greater for women who were underweight, with a 25 g/day increase in protein reducing their risk by 45%. The investigation—”Foods, nutrients and hip fracture risk: A prospective study of middle-aged women”—is based on a large observational analysis of more than 26,000 women. As an observational study, the researchers were able to identify associations between factors in diet and health. They could not single out direct cause and effect. “Diet is a factor that people can modify to protect themselves by maintaining healthy bones and muscles. This study is one of the first to investigate relationships between food and nutrient intakes and risk of hip fracture, with hip fractures accurately identified through hospital records.” The recommended protein intake in the UK is 0.8 g per kilogram of bodyweight per day, a limit some nutritional experts believe is too low. As the study revealed, people who had a higher protein consumption had a reduction in the risk of hip fracture. However, intakes of protein which are very high—where intake is greater than 2 to 3 g of protein/kg body weight/day—can have negative health effects. The study was not able to explore these very high protein intake levels. Professor Janet Cade, who leads the Nutritional Epidemiology Group at Leeds and supervised the research, said, “In the UK most people eat an adequate amount of protein, however, certain groups, such as vegetarians or vegans need to check that their protein intakes are high enough for good health.”Tea and coffee both contain biologically active compounds called polyphenols and phytoestrogens which may help to maintain bone health. Professor Cade added, “This is an interesting finding given that tea and coffee are the UK's favorite drinks. We still need to know more about how these drinks could affect bone health but it might be through promoting the amount of calcium present in our bones.” (next) Mindfulness meditation trumps placebo in pain reduction Wake Forest Medical Center – November 11, 2022 Scientists at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center have found new evidence that mindfulness meditation reduces pain more effectively than placebo. This is significant because placebo-controlled trials are the recognized standard for demonstrating the efficacy of clinical and pharmacological treatments. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, showed that study participants who practiced mindfulness meditation reported greater pain relief than placebo. Significantly, brain scans showed that mindfulness meditation produced very different patterns of activity than those produced by placebo to reduce pain. “We were completely surprised by the findings,” said Fadel Zeidan, Ph.D., assistant professor of neurobiology and anatomy at Wake Forest Baptist and lead investigator of the study. “While we thought that there would be some overlap in brain regions between meditation and placebo, the findings from this study provide novel and objective evidence that mindfulness meditation reduces pain in a unique fashion.”Pain was induced by using a thermal probe to heat a small area of the participants' skin to 49 degrees Centigrade (120.2 degrees Fahrenheit), a level of heat most people find very painful. Study participants then rated pain intensity (physical sensation) and pain unpleasantness (emotional response). The participants' brains were scanned with arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging (ASL MRI) before and after their respective four-day group interventions. The mindfulness meditation group reported that pain intensity was reduced by 27 percent and by 44 percent for the emotional aspect of pain. In contrast, the placebo cream reduced the sensation of pain by 11 percent and emotional aspect of pain by 13 percent. “The MRI scans showed for the first time that mindfulness meditation produced patterns of brain activity that are different than those produced by the placebo cream,” Zeidan said. Mindfulness meditation reduced pain by activating brain regions (orbitofrontal and anterior cingulate cortex) associated with the self-control of pain while the placebo cream lowered pain by reducing brain activity in pain-processing areas (secondary somatosensory cortex). Another brain region, the thalamus, was deactivated during mindfulness meditation, but was activated during all other conditions. This brain region serves as a gateway that determines if sensory information is allowed to reach higher brain centers. By deactivating this area, mindfulness meditation may have caused signals about pain to simply fade away, Zeidan said. Mindfulness meditation also was significantly better at reducing pain intensity and pain unpleasantness than the placebo meditation. The placebo-meditation group had relatively small decreases in pain intensity (9 percent) and pain unpleasantness (24 percent). The study findings suggest that placebo meditation may have reduced pain through a relaxation effect that was associated with slower breathing. “This study is the first to show that mindfulness meditation is mechanistically distinct and produces pain relief above and beyond the analgesic effects seen with either placebo cream or sham meditation,” Zeidan said. “Based on our findings, we believe that as little as four 20-minute daily sessions of mindfulness meditation could enhance pain treatment in a clinical setting. However, given that the present study examined healthy, pain-free volunteers, we cannot generalize our findings to chronic pain patients at this time. (next) Shaking less salt on your food at the table could reduce heart disease risk Researchers found a link between a lower frequency of dietary salt and a reduced CVD risk Tulane University, November 27, 2022 Adding additional salt to foods at a lower frequency is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease, heart failure and ischemic heart disease, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Even among those following a DASH-style diet, behavioral interventions to lessen salt consumption could further improve heart health. “Overall, we found that people who don't shake on a little additional salt to their foods very often had a much lower risk of heart disease events, regardless of lifestyle factors and pre-existing disease,” said Lu Qi, MD, Regents Distinguished Chair at the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine at Tulane University in New Orleans. “We also found that when patients combine a DASH diet with a low frequency of adding salt, they had the lowest heart disease risk. This is meaningful as reducing additional salt to food, not removing salt entirely, is an incredibly modifiable risk factor that we can hopefully encourage our patients to make without much sacrifice.” In the current study, the authors evaluated whether the frequency of adding salt to foods was linked with incident heart disease risk in 176,570 participants from the UK Biobank. The study also examined the association between the frequency of adding salt to foods and the DASH diet as it relates to heart disease risk. The study used a questionnaire at baseline to collect data on the frequency of adding salt to foods, not including salt used in cooking. Participants were also asked if they had made any major changes to their diet in the last 5 years, as well as complete 1-5 rounds of 24-hour dietary recalls over a three-year period. The DASH-style diet was developed to prevent hypertension by limiting consumption of red and processed meats and focusing on vegetables, fruit, whole grains, low-fat dairy, nuts, and legumes. While the DASH diet has yielded benefits in relation to reducing cardiovascular disease risk, a recent clinical trial found that combining the DASH diet with sodium reduction was more beneficial for certain cardiac biomarkers, including cardiac injury, strain, and inflammation. The researchers calculated a modified DASH score that did not consider sodium intake based on seven foods and nutrients that were emphasized or deemphasized in the DASH-style diet. Overall, study participants with a lower frequency of adding salt to foods were more likely to be women; white; have a lower body mass index; more likely to have moderate alcohol consumption; less likely to be current smokers; and more physically active. They also had a higher prevalence of high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease, but a lower prevalence of cancer. These participants were also more likely to adhere to a DASH-style diet and consumed more fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes, whole grains, low-fat dietary but less sugar-sweetened drinks or red/processed meats than those with a higher frequency of adding salt to foods. The researchers found the association of adding salt to foods with heart disease risk was stronger in participants of lower socioeconomic status, as well as in current smokers. A higher modified DASH diet score was associated with lower risk of heart disease events. (next) Ten minutes of aerobic exercise with exposure therapy found to reduce PTSD symptoms University of New South Wales, November 25, 2022 Exposure therapy is one of the leading treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but up to a half of all patients don't respond to it. But now a study led by UNSW Sydney psychologists has found that augmenting the therapy with 10 minutes of aerobic exercise has led to patients reporting greater reduction to PTSD symptom severity six months after the nine-week treatment ended. In the first known single-blind randomized control trial of its kind, researchers in Sydney recruited 130 adults with clinically diagnosed PTSD and assigned them to two groups. People in both groups received nine 90-minute exposure therapy sessions. At the end of each session, one group was put through 10 minutes of aerobic exercises, while members of the control group were given 10 minutes of passive stretching. People in the aerobic exercise group on average reported lower severity of PTSD symptoms—as measured on the CAPS-2 scale—than those who had their exposure therapy augmented by stretching exercises at the six-month follow-up. Interestingly, there were no clear differences between the two groups one week after the treatment program ended, suggesting the benefits take time to develop. The findings were reported in The Lancet Psychiatry.

Hello and welcome to another Midweek Message. The temp here in Briton went sky high and broke all records... 40.3 Centigrade which is about 105F. Phew, it's been hot! However, it all ended last night with rain and storms. I hope you are keeping cool and enjoying the summer.

Finally a technology solution to the offside call in soccer!  Forget fixing potholes – just use a car that scans the road and adjusts the suspension.  Too much demand for Netflix.  Scams have cost Aussies over $2 billion in the last year.  The new Apple watch will reportedly be able to detect a Fever, be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade.  Spot the robot dog at work in the Snowy Hydro scheme.  Underwater autonomous drones now being used for drug smuggling.  Aerial drones risking passengers at Cairns airport while trying to spot Katy Perry.  Predict crime in advance with lots of data and AI. 

This episode is a conversation with Samantha Suppiah, Christina Mirasol Sayson, Anna Denardin and Nolita Mvunelo of Possible Futures.  We talk about colonialism and sustainability, the realities of life in the Global South and the need for communities to be able to define their own vision for a regenerative future.Note: This episode is pretty heavy and may be challenging for listeners in the Global North, who are not used to considering colonialism. I invite you to stick with it and keep an open mind. This is a really important discussion.Footnotes:In the 37th minute there is a reference to "2 degrees Centigrade".  Climate scientists typically refer to temperature in Celsius in discussing climate change. Celsius is interchangeable with Centigrade.  In the 41st minute there is a reference to "10 million people dying from climate emergencies" - there is actually no current consensus estimate on how many people will die at a temperature rise of 2 deg C.  This is speculation only.  What we do have is a consensus estimate of mass migrations: for every degree increase, 1 billion migrants.  The entire issue of mass migration has notably been omitted from IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report (2022).Find out more about Possible Futures: https://www.possiblefutures.earth/ Contact the Green Urbanist: https://greenurbanistpod.com/contact Follow the Green Urbanist: https://twitter.com/GreenUrbanPod https://www.instagram.com/greenurbanistpod https://www.linkedin.com/company/green-urbanist-podcast

Box 508 Georgetown, KY 40324 Hey 64th Gear Jammers, I'm Logan and obviously I'm not in Advantage Diecast's warehouse today. I'm out to see a LPG storage tank farm. Propane is a highly flammable gas and comes in steel cylinders or tanks. The movement of any propane cylinder or tank is fully regulated under the “Transportation of Dangerous Goods” (TDG) Regulations unless an exemption applies. The use of “Liquefied Petroleum Gas” as the shipping name implies, is intended for variety of liquid petroleum gases. What is propane? How is it liquefied? And how is it transported? I think it is important mention a little about LPG-PROPANE. Propane is not made or manufactured, it is found naturally in combination with other hydrocarbons. Propane has a boiling point of -42 degrees Centigrade. In its liquid state it has a temperature of Negative 188 degrees Centigrade or Negative 306.4 degrees Fahrenheit. That's really cold. Propane expands to 270 times the volume when it goes from liquid to gas. So, 1 Liter of liquid propane will expand to 270 Liters of gaseous propane. That's really a lot of gas. Further, in its gaseous state propane is heavier than air and will tend to hug the ground. Propane is transported in a liquid state under strict regulations. Unlike natural gas, which is delivered via pipeline, propane is transported under pressure by tank car, tanker ship, transport truck and local delivery trucks better known as bobtails. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/logan-skeele/message

Any business, no matter what size or how old it is, should always be ready for sale. If your business is 'sale ready' you're on the right track for making your business even more successful. Take a cold, clinical and hard look at your business and ask, are we doing the best that we can? If not, what could we do better. Why would someone want to buy us? Why would someone NOT want to buy us? Waterford accountants FitzGerald Power brought brand experts Totem into their business to give it a 'once over' - and lessons were learnt. Colin Byrne, Creative Director with Totem and Stuart FitzGerald, managing partner at FitzGerald Power share their insights about the process and why and how any business would benefit from doing the same.Their 'hires in a heartbeat'. Colin wants business coach Marty Neumeier and Stuart opted for another business coach, his choice was Jim Collins.Mary Walsh is co-founder with husband Shay of what is now Ireland's largest pallet maker. Former banker Mary joined TeamGBS to share her passion for pallets. She even admits on air that she 'LOVES pallets'. So that's a first! Every business has its little quirks and we learn that to make pallets you have to heat them to 56 degrees Centigrade to ensure the death of the dreadful bark beetle. Mary's business was transformed when she entered the 'Going for Growth' programme, run by Paula FitzSimons and she encourages anyone who can, to get involved in that programme. Mary is also volunteer lead entrepreneur on the wonderful Acorns programme that encourages women in rural Ireland to get involved in business and Mary also shares her passion for that.Her 'hire in a heartbeat'? Ryanair's Michael O'Leary - a popular choice amongst TeamGBS members, but he'd have to start at the bottom.Pamela Laird of Moxi Loves and Tammy Darcy of The Shona Project joined TeamGBS to encourage women entrepreneurs to get involved in the Visa (Card) 'She's Next' programme that will give five women led businesses €10,000 in cash each, plus mentoring that last year's winner Tammy, said was absolutely invaluable - opening doors right around the world. The Shona Project is fantastically successful in getting young women to be more confident and the social enterprise is now reaching around the world. Pamela's 'hire in a heartbeat' is Kim Kardashian (but of course!) whilst Tammy wants three hires, Gillian Maxwell, Orlaith Carmody and Michelle Obama (sure, why not?)All tips and insights are brought to you thanks to De Facto Shaving Oil - the world's best shaving oil.

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1707 Birth of Carl Linnaeus (books about this person), Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician. Carl was a fan of flowers early on in his life. As a young child, his mother gave him flowers to soothe him whenever he was upset. On May 1st, 1753, the publication of his masterpiece Species Plantarum changed plant taxonomy forever. The work gave Linnaeus the moniker Father of Taxonomy; his naming system is called binomial nomenclature. Binomial means "two names," which in the naming game includes the plant's genus (which is capitalized or could be abbreviated by its first letter) and species or specific epithet (which is all lowercase and can be shortened sp.) If you have trouble remembering taxonomy, I like to think of it as a person's given name and surname, but in reverse order. Linnaeus's names live on unchanged and are distinguished by an "L." after their name. And it was Linnaeus himself who said: God created, Linnaeus ordered.   There are many stories about Linnaeus, but I thought I'd share a few more-obscure stories about him and his work. First, Linnaeus' friend Anders Celsius created the Centigrade thermometer in 1742, with water boiling at 0 degrees and freezing at 100. Three years later, Linnaeus reversed the scale - sharing it in an article with the Botanical Garden at Uppsala University. Second, there is a memorable story about Linnaeus and the genus Commelina, the genus of the Asiatic Dayflower. Linnaeus named the genus after the three Commelin brothers, two of whom achieved much in botany and one who died young before amounting to anything. Linnaeus wrote: Commelina has three petals, two of which are showy — where the third is not conspicuous. Next time you see the Commelina communis or Asiatic Dayflower (with two large blue petals and one tiny white petal), you can remember the Commelins and Linnaeus' kind commemoration of the three brothers. Another fun story about Linnaeus involved a trip he took to Lapland when Linnaeus was 25 years old.  Carl spent nearly six months there, and he came back with stories of an obscure part of Scandinavia few people knew existed. The expedition was trying, and Linneaus suffered from hunger, mosquitoes, freezing temperatures, near death from a rockslide and a gunshot wound. Through it all, Linnaeus fell in love with the Lapland. He even brought home a traditional costume complete with a magical drum as a souvenir from his adventure. Five years later, an obscure German painter named Martin Hoffman painted Linnaeus' portrait. And, guess what did Linnaeus choose to wear for the sitting? His Lapland costume (Of course!). In Hoffman's Linnaeus, a 30-year-old Linnaeus is seen wearing boots made of reindeer skin. He's also wearing an early version of a toolbelt. Suspended from the belt is a magical drum from a shaman, a needle to make nets, a snuffbox, a cartridge box, and a knife. Linnaeus is also wearing traditional Laplander gloves, and in his right hand, he holds his favorite plant: the Twinflower, Linnaea borealis.   1799 Birth of Thomas Hood was an English poet, author, and humorist. Thomas is remembered for his poems "The Bridge of Sighs" and "The Song of the Shirt." Here's an excerpt from his poem Song. 'Tis like the birthday of the world, When earth was born in bloom; The light is made of many dyes, The air is all perfume: There's crimson buds, and white and blue, The very rainbow showers Have turned to blossoms where they fell, And sown the earth with flowers.   And here's my all-time favorite Thomas Hood poem, and it's called No. No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease, No comfortable feel in any member - No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds - November!   1843 Birth of Georgiana Molloy (books about this person), English-Australian pioneer and one of the first botanical collectors in Western Australia. Georgiana's life in the 1830s in Western Australia was one of extreme hardship. Her first child died shortly after it was born, and her only son ended up drowning in a well. After these events, Georgiana naturally struggled to find joy in her life. But in 1836, at the end of the year, Georgiana received a letter from a man named James Mangles. James was an officer in the Royal Navy and a naturalist, horticulturist, and writer. He wrote to ask Georgiana for help, and his request for botanical specimens gave her life new meaning. James had made arrangements for several people to collect for him in Australia. He was very strategic in that regard. But it also meant that James was uniquely qualified to review the work done by collectors in Western Australia before 1850. The result was that James was a huge fan of Georgiana's work. He once wrote. [Georgiana's collections] were full of pressed plants that were mounted and set out with delicacy and precision and carefully numbered showing great evidence of care and cleanliness in the sorting.   Georgiana would have been delighted to know that many of the seeds she collected were sent to botanists and horticulturists worldwide, and they were found to be especially viable. Sadly Georgiana's life was cut short at the age of 37. After giving birth to her seventh child, she suffered for four months from December 1842 until her death on April 8th, the following spring. And when the English naturalist George Wailes learned of the death of Georgiana Malloy, he reached out to the man who inspired her love for botany, James Mangles.  George wrote. Not one in 10,000 who go out to distant lands has done what she did for the gardens of her native country.     1905 On this day, Louisa Yeomans King (books about this person) recorded an entry in her garden diary, which became her book, The Flower Garden Day By Day. MAY 23. Sow seed now of the beautiful pale yellow oenothera ("ee-nah-THAIR-ah”) (Evening-primrose), Afterglow, at the back of the border near Physostegia ("fy-sah-STEE-jee-ah ver-jin-ee-AYE-nah")(Obedient plant). A group of these two with Artemesia lactiflora (White Mugwort) and the little annual sunflower known as Primrose Stella, will make August well worth waiting for.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation The Less is More Garden by Susan Morrison This book came out in 2018, and the subtitle is Big Ideas for Designing Your Small Yard. You should definitely check out Susan's book if you have a small garden. Right off the bat, when I saw the cover, I knew that I would love Susan's book, and you know, most people are small-space gardeners. Susan writes. In my practice as a landscape designer, most of the backyards that I design measure less than 2,500 square feet and layouts are rarely more than 40 by 60 feet. I no longer think of that as small, it has become standard. Interestingly while active gardeners are often concerned with fitting in everything, into a space that's generally smaller than the backyards that they grew up in. I am just as likely to hear from homeowners, more interested in creating a space that will be as simple as possible to maintain... no one wants another to-do list item, but most of us want backyard that's a refuge... [and] the shift in how we live, work, and play is what led me to develop the less is more approach to garden design and outdoor living.   And here's how Susan defines as her less is more garden approach. She writes: At its heart, this approach to garden design means: Less space, more enjoyment Less effort, more beauty Less maintenance, more relaxation, and finally Less gardening-by-the-numbers, more YOU.   This book is 225 pages of small-garden design with the less is more approach. You'll find practical and helpful advice, inspirational photography, and many creative and unexpected tricks to help you get the small space garden of your dreams.

Eric had a wide-ranging knowledge and love of nature. His early books include Nature Thoughts, Flower Thoughts, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and The Tiny Seed. Here's a quote from Eric's most memorable work, The Very Hungry Caterpillar:  On Saturday, he ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon. That night he had a stomach ache.   And it was Eric Carle who said, Whatever our eyes touch should be beautiful.   In 2007, Eric Carle gave a commencement address at Bates College in 2007. He concluded with these words:  Love your partner and tend your garden.  Simplify, slow down, be kind.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

Manstein's attempted break-in to Stalingrad has ground to a halt. He needs Paulus to push back from the inside and the Sixth Army commander is like a bunny in the headlights – waiting for Adolf Hitler to give him permission. But the Führer has long decided that its death or glory in Stalingrad, no retreat, despite the Sixth Army being surrounded by the Russians after the Operation Uranus success. We concentrated last week on the push to try and dent the iron ring around Paulus and 249 000 Germans trapped in the Kessel. The other battle as historian and secret agent Ronald Seth noted, was the condition of the Germans in the city. They were more fortunate than their comrades in the steppes, at least they had the shelter of broken buildings and the luxury of snugger basements to protect them against the -35º Centigrade arctic winds, the plate-glass ice and the thick silent snow. This was the only advantage however, except for the rats feeding on corpses. The German comforts were two and a half ounces of bread and a pint of muddy water which was described as soup, a sliver of horse-meat if they were lucky. The rats were hunted for their own coarse rancid flesh despite they'd obviously been gorging on dead Germans and Russians. A sick cycle of life based on the dead. How they hung on even now, at Christmas 1942, none could say later. One thing had changed by Christmas, the Russians had slackened off on the pressure inside the city, but only slightly. The Red Army sometimes based in the same house had thick woolen underwear, fleecy-lined felt boots, skin caps with ear muffs, sheepskin lined coats and white camouflage capes with hoods. They merged with the snow and ate their two hot meals a day where ever they were, enough food to keep them warm and quiet and comfortable. They also had their shots of vodka every day to help dissolve depression and chase away the cold. As a military ops paramedic instructor I know that alcohol given to folks who are suffering the effects of exposure is tantamount to shooting them in the head – but it's a great additive if you're already warm. The soviet High Command had only reinforced General Chuikov's 62nd Army in the city in sufficient numbers to prevent the Germans from taking Stalingrad centre. The Sixth Army had been driven back so many times from the shores of the Volga by the Russians it was so superhuman it was supernatural. And by now it was known by the Soviet top brass that Hitler had developed a Stalingrad-complex and that even if his armies on the steppe were destroyed he'd still demand that General Paulus and his troops should fight until the last man dropped dead. That greatly assisted Yeremenko and Zhukov in their strategy and once the vast mass of the Sixth Army was surrounded, both turned their attentions back to the city once more.

It's mid June 1901. Winter in the Southern Hemisphere and in the Highveld or high plains of South Africa that means bitterly cold nights where the temperature can dip well below freezing. As I write, this, the temperature outside has dipped to 4 degrees centigrade in Johannesburg - or 39 degrees farenheit. Yes, its nothing like Siberia or Canada, but this is Africa and these kinds of temperatures catch the uniformed off-guard. It gets much colder in other parts of South Africa. In the Cape Province, the town of Sutherland is the coldest in the country with mid-winter lows that can drop to below -20 centigrade or -4 farenheit and where 3 feet of snow can fall. The British Army was not ready for these extremes, as the German army was not ready for the Russian Winter of 1941/2. While South Africa's high plains winter is nothing like Russia's, the point is the military underestimated the weather. The British were conducting what were known as Drives with columns of thousands of troops riding or marching across the veld rounding up small groups of Boers who were trying to continue the guerrilla war. While nights and early mornings can be bitterly cold, during the day temperatures rise to above 20 degrees Centigrade or 68 Fahrenheit, and it becomes extremely dry. Not quite the Atacama, but dry enough. Most of South Africa is a summer rainfall region, except for the Western Cape which has a Mediterranean climate, very similar to the San Francisco area of California. So Winter has come to the Anglo-Boer war and for many British soldiers its their second on the veld. The Boers meanwhile, have slowed their action with the lack of water for their horses and feed that has disappeared from the veld. General de la Rey for example has sent most of his men home and told them to wait out the winter for a renewal of guerrilla warfare in Spring. De la Rey heads off to join General Christiaan de Wet who is still fighting along with die hard followers of around one hundred burghers who had made it their mission to cause as much trouble as possible for the British in the Orange Free State. However, between 5th June and 20th June 1901 freezing weather had made their mission painful, and deadly. They were not alone. As I'll explain, a blizzard that was about to sweep across the high veld would lead to deaths on all sides, not least the civilians cooped up in the Concentration Camps. That's the contradiction that is South Africa. The dry winters are interspersed with icy cold fronts that are driven across the sub-continent all the way from the Antarctic, bringing frozen moisture that leaves high ground covered in snow.
