So, doctor tell us now a growing spine versus adult spine, how is it different? Yeah, that is a fundamental thing we need to understand that a child's spine obviously is not the same as an adult spine. The adult spine is more stiff whereas the child's spine is more flexible. The child has smaller bones whereas the adult has much bigger stronger bones. So, the child's spine is a growing spine where things are not yet fully formed whereas the adult spine is fully formed and certain changes of aging like degeneration all that starts setting in at an early stage. So, there is a huge difference between a child's spine and an adult's spine and so one has to understand the difference between the two to understand how to treat the problem. So, we cannot treat a child's spinal problems in the same way as that of an adult spine. The principles of treatment when we treat with surgery, when we do not treat them with surgery, how to put them on a brace, when do we actually intervene, all that varies.


Welcome to the ITU Plenary Potentiary Conference 2018 here in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates where I'm very pleased to be joined in the studio this morning by Nicholas Harry Dousey who is the Minister for Information and Communication Technologies for Malawi. Minister, welcome to the studio. Thank you. I'd like to start off by talking a little bit about there's currently considerable attention being placed on harnessing the power of information and communication technologies for good. What's your personal perspective on this? The personal perspective is that first of all Malawi is a country. We have made an endeavor to make sure that the issue of high-city development is taken to high heights because it's now an economic enabler. It is having the field of health, education, agriculture, and we are also wanting to make sure that in the countryside where most of our people live, they have the basic coverage of internet and broadband. So as a country and as a people, government has made a concerted effort to make sure that high-city development benefits all the people in the country, including those that are in town. Regarding the government institutions, all government institutions now are linked because we are the government-wide area network and we are making endeavors to make sure that there is a development. But with extremely, I would want to point out that ITU has played a pivotal and protracted role in helping Malawi to develop its ICT programs. Now talking about development, this Plenty Potential Conference is the first since the world agreed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. I wanted to find out what is Malawi doing in terms of ICTs and sustainable development. Indeed, since the United Nations established the Sustainable Development Goals, this is the first Plenty Potential Meeting. And Malawi as a country, what you have done is to, I think three things. The first one is an issue we have established or we have now a broadband internet network and then we also are laying down national fiber backbone. We are also making sure that we have access to internet, access to all schools and that is here, but not only that, we have also a vibrant national network coverage with coordination of network service providers. So this is becoming an enabler. People are able this time around to find out where to sell their mechanized, where to sell their agricultural products. Malawi is by and large an agro-based economy. And in that context then, ICT, an internet provision and the creation and the establishment of broadband and the laying down on national fiber backbone will ease the internet provision of the country. The President of the Republic, Professor Bidam Tariq, has encouraged Malawians to make sure that we have taken care of our infrastructure, but at the same time, we also want to, with the assistance of ITU, we want to establish our cert, so that we have what we call Cyber Security Program and Electronic Transaction Act. We have put down also acts that will help in making sure that internet provision is not only safe, but also confidential and safe for the populace. Now let's talk about the figures that about half the world's population are connected to the internet and half isn't. I wanted to find out, we talked a little bit, a few points there, but I wanted to find out what is Malawi doing to get everyone connected? Malawi is doing to get everyone connected is that we are now erecting towers and with the new Communication Act of 2016, which allows both network providers to use one port. If one has erected a tower, that tower can be used by all internet provision, that is air tower, ten name or another internet provision. And we are, with the establishment of Universal Saves Fund, we want to make sure that non-reachable areas, people are able to assess internet provision and network coverage. But also there are certain areas where things, people have no bank account. Using the money transaction, we are able to reach out to people to enjoy the ICD services or internet services or to enjoy connectivity. So both money transaction to those unbanked people also helps to make sure that we have developed. And as a country and as a people, I think we still have more to go, but we have done and laid the groundwork for people to assess network connectivity, banking activities, e-services, health, education, agriculture, economy and infrastructure development. Now, in a nutshell, what's been your message here to the participants at this planning potential conference? The message from Malawi is simple. Let us, as a world, because it's a global world, let us all coordinate and cooperate. Let's make sure that ICD programs are encouraged within the ITU master plan. Let's encourage those that have been elected, congratulations for the second gen and the entire management. And we think that Malawi is going to benefit from the new executive. They have already done a good work too from Malawi. We, Malawi, as a member states, is proud to be part of ITU and we believe that the second gen and the esteem will continue having Malawi as a developing country and as a developing economy. And we sincerely thank them for their contribution. We look forward to more contribution from both ITU and Malawi as a country. Nicholas Harry-Dellsey, Minister for ICD from Malawi. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.


Hi guys, welcome to a new vlog today. We are going to target for a couple things. What are we looking for? Things for Something for the wedding because I don't want to say exactly what it is because I don't know who watches this.  We're gonna check at target and then we will also go to Walmart Maybe you're saying or just target It's up to you. Yeah, let's just go to target. All right, we made it into target. The Starbucks looks amazing But where are we off to first Sherry? I don't know. This is all different I'm snap Sherry no cussing on the channel. Okay. Are they giving things away or what? I think these are the type that make me break out but since everyone uses them I'm just gonna get a pack. I'm gonna be wearing more makeup Soon because of this work thing that I have to do. We're like filming a video So might as well get some of these. I'm almost out of the ones that I have at home This targets a lot more crowded than I would expect right here. Maybe it's back to school That's true. People are out shopping and stuff. Okay, so I got the first item here You just need Some pants now if I was a bigger tiktoker, I would totally get one of these sweatshirts They're so cute. They're tie-dye. You know the tie-dye look is in Sherry Oh, excellent. See everything comes back eventually. Sherry's now looking at the jewelry pieces. Oh, that would look nice. It's silver and gold We're just looking at the options here. There's like some sunglasses over there. You can never have too many umbrellas Oh scrunchies over here Fun stuff Okay, so Sherry and I are going to head to Walmart to get the second half of the outfit I know, right? It was actually pretty crowded in here. So it wasn't like that great But we just want to get this over with so we have everything Hopefully it doesn't rain on us made it to the Walmart. Looks like it's gonna down pour But as you can see it's already started. It's already rained here. We'll see if we find anything good Well, this is interesting I'll block off. We have like four signs here And Honestly, this place is a lot prouder than I expected. Kind of concerning like there's a lot of people Well, let's see if we can find what we're looking for Hopefully we can. Okay. So luckily we found what we were looking for it took a little bit But we found it. We are now looking for some wool light and then we're gonna probably try to get on out of here, right, Sherry? It's kind of crowded. I mean, this is probably why The virus is spreading the like, you know, you got to go out and get some things that you need to like Us today It is probably a week later about a week later from when I last filmed right now I'm at the dentist office. Hopefully I'll get a little bit of footage, but I'm contemplating on getting Invisalign I don't know they did the scan and everything and I was just been thinking about it So hopefully it's not like an arm and a leg. I really hope that like I could afford it I know it's a little bit pricey. So I'm not like expecting crazy But I just hope it's not like $12,000 because clearly I would not do it. But yeah, I'm just waiting in my car I actually have my mask here Then today I'm going to edit videos for youtube And then we're going to disney. I think later today So it's going to be a fun filled full day And I just thought I would vlog this portion of the day a lot of you guys like my little dentist vlogs Even though I don't get a lot of footage, but Anyway, also I'm in celebration and it would be a perfect time to make a celebration video But it's kind of like rainy out And I don't know. I'm just I don't think I'm going to do it today. Um, maybe I'll do it in the future because The next video I'm going to film is going to be Best photo locations in celebration because obviously I know a lot of good places around here for that So anyway, I have to call and tell them I'm here and have to wear the mask obviously I have to go to the bathroom so bad. I swear every time I come to the dentist I always have to go to the bathroom because it makes me nervous. I don't know why I'm like 23 and I'm still nervous Okay, so I'm here at the dentist Getting all ready. So I got to take the mask off And now we're just waiting. I think I have to do pictures and stuff. They lost I don't think they have the Invisalign stuff. So we're just gonna Wait and see and what's the other ones? Oh, and that's the whole oh, wow Oh my gosh Oh cool That's really cool That's crazy The one thing about Invisalign that I'm nervous about that will because you said about teeth movement Um, I have a tooth that's like 90 degrees rotated and I'm like, oh no Okay, so I made it home and I got myself a little starbucks treat because all the time after I have After I go to the dentist I always get myself some starbucks. So My usual chai tea latte with my birthday cake pop. All right. So with ballory here Hello, where are we going ballory?

But anyway, Invisalign didn't get my scans or whatever last time So they had to rescan my teeth and I will get that pretty much next week I think and then we're gonna go over like costs and everything So I'm really debating on it and I like the fact that with Invisalign I'm gonna be under a dentist and they're gonna You know be checking my teeth regularly to make sure they're all good and well and moving the way they need to Do it without a dentist? Well, yeah, that's smile direct, but I don't I'm too skeptical about it and it's it's a smile direct is a lot cheaper but like also Anyway, the dentist told me the things that why I shouldn't Use the go that route and when I get home I want to do an unboxing on how I'm keeping up my youtube channel safe and I really highly recommend this product Yeah, okay I guess that's pretty much it for this little segment What about me?

That's super random Anyway, don't forget to subscribe and I'll see you guys in my next video. Bye


So Hansa Teutonica we pointedly waited to do this review because for a while well rim waited I was fine doing it Yeah, but we've lately just due to constraints of time and due to feeling very self-assured in our ability to assess games quickly Have been reviewing games, especially tabletop games based on one playthrough. Sometimes that's enough. Yep And you know what? Koo, COUP, one play was enough. In the case of Hansa Teutonica One playthrough was also enough, but I had to be sure Okay, I wanted to give a real deep review of this game I haven't played it enough to go really deep like we can go deep enough like four or five times We have not solved it. However, I can say this Hansa Teutonica Came out in 2009 Andreas Stedding is a stand-up tabletop game that is quick to play Quick to teach and has survived repeated plays with experienced and skilled gamers That is more than I can say for most tabletop games that have ever existed Yeah, that's more than I can say for most tabletop games that I own I think the fundamental thing with Hansa Teutonica, right? Is you look at a lot of board games out there that have multiple victory conditions or Multiple ways paths to generating victory points like Kalis.  Unless you get some magic jeweler thing and even then he lost by a point like it still didn't work It was just close, but in the five six times I played Hansa Teutonica, right? All ways are not necessarily viable in a single instance of the game But across playing the game multiple times based on what people do Different ones will become the way you should have gone like if the game is going long Then the key becomes the way to go the key and the network and building houses But that means you need your privilege of awful. The game is really short, right?  That is what makes this game so fascinating to me And why I have such a high opinion of it because let's look at two similar like two different directions of game Agricola has the same there are multiple paths to victory, but you just get the baby Yep, well get the baby. Yeah, but there's other like do you do you go for house upgrade points? Or do you go for animal points? Well, your cards usually tell you what to do. They do and the resource is available Usually tell you what to do and you sort of have to do a little bit of everything to get a good score in that game Anyway, exactly. So you have two things affecting the game in the sense on one hand Your strategy is driven. What by your preference and your cards not so much by what anyone else is doing So if if I see scots going for a house upgrade that almost doesn't affect my strategy at all And as you were going for house upgrade now, I'm taking it from you Even then usually you're not taking it from me because the game's set up to where two people doing the same thing Isn't too big. There's enough for two people to do the same thing. There's not enough for three people No, the only game interaction though. It comes down to blocking scots move at a critical point Oh, you wanted to build the baby. Well, guess what? I'm on the baby.  Oh, yeah, actually we got it. We get so Problem with this game the rulebook is garbage We complain about rule books and tabletop games being poorly written for the last decade bad as attica. No, I'm not attica um, uh Hella helis helis. It's not as bad as helis.  Yes We might even still be playing it wrong, but I doubt it. Yeah, I think we're pretty good now All right. So anyway, the way the game works is that you have Dudes cubes and discs right and you put them on the board on these roads and each road is a number of spaces Once you've filled it it takes, you know actions to get guys out there and fill up a road But eventually you fill up a road Then you can use an action to score the road when you score the road You can usually just put one of your dudes at the end of the road either end if there's two ends Every road has two ends except for the ending roads. Those have two ends Uh, yeah, every road has two ends.  It's just actions. Yeah, it's just more actions So obviously that's the that's a basic thing to go for it's not a bad thing to go for at all Yep, for example take two actually just good to get more action. It's just on your turn. How many actions? I got five having a baby in a Gricola. It's pretty strong. Yep The bag so the bag isn't one of the actions you can take is to get guys from the graveyard into the supply So or the only yeah, you can only use guys who are in who are not in the graveyard So being able to get more guys out of the graveyard with a single action Basically saves you actions So upgrading that is very similar to upgrading your axiones and that it increases your efficiency Of getting shit done. Yep. There's the Lieber Sophia or as we call them Liebers Or just discs the Liebers is really powerful the Lieber Is one of the actions you can use is to helicopter guys around the board So it's sometimes you might be able to get guys onto the board for free But they'll be in a bad place So you can use the helik the Lieber helicopter to move guys The more you upgrade the Lieber the more guys you can move with a single action That's really freaking strong and also upgrading it. Remember the mechanic. I said it's a clip style You take the cube or in this case the disc off of that area and bring it into your bag So now you have more discs right so you start the game with one discs And there's four discs sitting on the board to get more those four extra discs Well, three extra discs you need to upgrade the Lieber which is upgrading the helicopter power There's the privilege as we like to call it Right, so there are certain places on the board where you can't put a guy because they're upgraded colors And you need to upgrade your privilegum right your privilege to go into those spaces Yeah, mini maxi and maxi. So there's like there's a lot of spaces like no one can go and there won't be any competition for those spaces because People don't have privilegum. So if you get privilegum, you can just go there uncontested and it's pretty freaking strong Yep And the final upgrade is the key the key doesn't do anything to make you more efficient It's a score multiplier at the end of the game It multiplies one of the scoring aspects of the game So it's the network aspect So if you have a large network of dudes in houses on the board at the end of the game You get a lot of points for that the key will multiply the number of points you get for that if you upgrade the key So that can be really strong scoring wise But if you don't have a big network or if the game is very short not allowing anyone to build a big network Upgrading the key is pretty futile. Yep. It doesn't do anything for you until the end Right So usually the key gets rushed at the end, but it's really easy to get early. So maybe you just go for it early But then never if the game doesn't go long You just wasted that shit and if someone else goes for the key early Maybe try to rush the game so it ends quickly So their key is useless because if they if they went key early and the game goes long They're just gonna win So to give you a sense of all these multiples has a victory you can form a network So as you put guys in these towns, you're your largest contiguous branching network So not a line like most games are just every everything they can get to everything else The biggest branch you can possibly make blob basically You just multiply the number of dudes you've got out there in that branch times the key value Which goes up to four which can be tremendous that can be alone. We'll just win the game I've seen people get 20 30 plus more points than any other scoring mechanism combined, right? You also get points at the end of the game for every special disc you use We'll talk about those last the plates plates You also get points for every city that you control in terms of having a lot of guys in those cities Like you're controlling that one city. Yeah, it's like, okay I didn't make a network, but I just got control of a lot of spots. You know, so that's times two It's pretty strong And there's the colon table where you can upgrade there and put a disc into it Just to get a big fuck ton of victory points at the end It's pretty much just get points and usually that's the way to get a lot of points If you have when row filled up three of those things Yeah, you need privilegum to get those colon points except for the lowest one and that adds up because it's like what eight nine Ten eleven or something like that or nine ten eleven twelve The top one's eleven. All right, so it's eight nine ten eleven. What's eight plus nine?  So if you go all Lieber all privilegum, then you can go colon and get those points Seriously, you might think we're being dumb for not using the terminology in the book the book fucking sucks So the way you actually play and that well, oh, there's more points If you control the city anyone who scores that city from any road Yeah, I talked about that all right Yeah, you get a point There's some bonus points for scoring certain places and putting your dudes on them So scoring in a hot area early So like if I go to the city that's touching the axiones road and I put a dude in it early Anyone else who tries to upgrade their axiones is going to end up giving me a point when they do so unless I immediately jump in there With my privilegum sure and get above you, but that's then you're not getting axione either Yep, but you also get points and I get a point when you do that at the two ends of the map There's two red flag cities if you connect them with dudes Which happens more often than you think it would you get a pile of points and all the all this second set of points We talked about you get during the game Yep, the rest of the points are at the end and that's key because the way the games end are one if all if 10 of the cities on the board get full of dudes never happened and never get any game I've played ever two if the I think the better order to do this and so to run out Yep, if the special plates that we haven't talked about yet are all taken There's some nuance around that, but it's pretty straightforward. The place run out. Yep Or three if anyone gets to 20 points now the scoring track goes all the way around the board to 100 Which makes you think ah ha the end of game scoring Right is really most of the points and you know it and a lot of games it is But because that that end of game score is so low just 20 it's possible to rush it may and Preventing anyone from having a large end of game scoring Scalls scores overall will be low and those 20 points that you got really quickly might just be enough to end the game So there's another reason this game is so interactive the actions you can take the actual things you do with your axiones now again On your cheat sheet eclipse board There are five little reminders as to what the actions do They are Worse than bullshit. They will confuse you. I would recommend cutting them off of your game I would actually recommend blacking them out putting stickers over them They anyone new who tries to look at those things just gets confused as to what they mean They're literally worthless But you can pull guys out of your bag. You can put guys on the board You can move guys around with your Libra helicopter. You can score something scoring takes an action Or and here's where the game gets doubly interactive You can displace someone from a spot. They're already on on the road so let's say there's a road to upgrade axiones, right and I put two guys on it one two then rim goes and he puts a guy in the third spot And that's that's the whole road. Well in order to score the road I have to have the road have three guys on it that are all mine. So either A I leave those guys there forever pointlessly. Yep B I helicopter them away to a different road or C I bump rim off that road taking control of it and allowing myself to score it But if I bump rim off I have to spend not only one guy to put a guy there in place of rims guy But another guy has to go into the graveyard who had to fight rim And then I get to take the guy he bumped and put him on an adjacent road And I could take a guy from my graveyard and put him on the board So he basically gets a free action of putting a guy onto the board And a free action of getting the guy out of the graveyard. So it's super helps someone when you bump them off So getting bumped is a really reactionary thing people are trying to get bumped sometimes and sometimes they don't want to get Right.   If you're getting bumped a lot, you can just upgrade your lever and helicopter Right.  Yep So at the end of every turn our meme we always say is is plate integrity maintained Yeah And then everyone has to agree that it is before we continue to the next turn Yep The plates if you score a road that has a plate pointed at it You get the plate and then you can take a new plate to put somewhere on the board The plates have powers like remove three dudes from the board or hey guys four extra actions right now Some of the plates are just obviously more strong like the five four or five extra actions at once But I find those to be weaker. I like the uh, they're very very strong And I like the remove three dudes the swap one can be very strong in the right situation But in other situations it can be worthless right the remove three dudes is ridiculously strong in just about any situation Oh, and the plates are especially if your bag is not upgraded the plates are also worth points The more you get the more points each one is worth Right so it's like you can just play for the plates and then using the plates also Helps you get more plates and more other things also I've seen people win this game ignoring everything and just trying to get every plate as fast as possible Yeah, it can and that ends the game as well So even if no one gets to 20 points if you get enough plates you can end the game pretty quickly This is a game primarily if you want to talk about the skills involved of predicting what other players strategies are and coming up with the best counter to them While simultaneously obfuscating what you're doing or putting yourself into such a position of strength that people can't stop you It's not a game where I can tell you like settlers just do this one of these two things every game It's like all right. You have to really assess what's going on in the whole lay of the land every turn See what everyone's doing and there will be a different path to go every different game based on what people have done Yep, and your path might change mid game You also just might be fucked based on where you're sitting or something. Yep a pretty powerful strategy I've found is to focus on a few things like I'll upgrade your actions a little bit Yeah, just focus on something basic early on until you see the lay of the land Yep, and wait and see and hope that people move the game in a certain direction That you can then react to and capitalize on the fact that you were waiting for them to move The theme of the game has something to do with the the hunziatic league Yeah, and it doesn't exist. We can't figure out what the fuck is going on Yeah, we ignore all the theming of the game trading some shoe, whatever who cares That's why there's that game like games like portorico or a tiggers and euphrates to this day Hold this extra tier for us because one they're extremely complex well thought out mechanically as games But two the theme is Integrally woven into the games in such a wonderful and nuanced way that a lot of more modern games just don't do This game has terrible iconography It's extremely confusing without a very specific and detailed explanation of how to upgrade everything and how everything works Someone who read the rules 20 times and the internet But uh, otherwise it's a really solid game. I'm really surprised it held up I mean thern in taxes, which we loved didn't make it through four playthroughs before we figured it out We were done with it. Yeah, this game. I think we'll have a decent bit of staying power And everyone seems to really like like take it to ride basically. Yeah This is more like those older german board games with cubes In a lot of ways Another i'll point out, you know, if we're talking about strategy If you upgrade your actions or your bag once You get an immediate bonus If you upgrade your actions a second time you don't get a bonus you have to upgrade it a third time So it's usually not worth it to try to blitz actions hard Your best bet is to blitz actions as fast as possible just to get to three actions And then you don't need that fourth action immediately. You can do that opportunistically if you're clever Yeah, it's like if there's an opportunity to just be like Helicopter score with two actions to get that axionist upgraded. I would go for it Yeah, but don't spend three turns orchestrating your four actions early game That you get much more bang for your butt getting that third action and then going somewhere else or getting bag one bag upgrade Which is probably easier to get and is also going to save you actions Yep, if all the other players are like just having this death match with discs everywhere around the actions Go upgrade your key and your privilege a whole bunch. Yeah, or just start taking cities in the middle Yep, that's if people forget they can take cities in this game.  There's not like areas of the board that are dead Why would you ever go there? It's like no the whole board is hot. There'll be a plate over there That's looking hot. There'll be a nice city. You can get over there easy connection Right, you can go for the colon if no one's going for the colon. It's like that's worth a ton of points It's pretty hot if you just sneak in there once everyone's going for all those other hot things I'll just take some axione right it's just hot stuff everywhere And you'll see once people if you play with people who've played a lot There'll be cubes all over the place not just in like one area. That's awesome Yep Now it's interesting the game takes two to five players But there are three variants to accomplish that two player has this thing where there's these nights that move around I haven't played it. We haven't either people say it's not that great. Okay Three and two and three well two and three player use one side of the board Four and five player use another side of the board that has just more connections between cities I think the game is best with three or five players board game geek says the game is best with five players But three and five are very different kind of like the difference between three and five in Puerto Rico Very different strategies very different game I worry that with four players the board's a little too open Yeah And but I think four players doesn't work on the smaller one So I think you should try to avoid playing with four people go for three or five So I don't know what else I can say I mean you guys should play this game If you're playing board games play this one So Andrea is steady. It's interesting because I actually didn't know who he was and he doesn't seem to have a lot of Games at least that are known in the u.s To his name Like scottish highland whiskey race That's amazing. Yeah, I don't care what that game is Yeah, hispania is the only one that I've heard of okay. I mean italia. I've seen but I've never played Hard of africa. I've seen but I've never played Uh, oh the Hansa tutana expansion. I need that. All right.  Who knows what's in that thing Yeah, I kind of really want it now. Okay, and it doesn't look like he's published anything since 2010 Huh, maybe he's working on a masterpiece


Dear students, in this module we shall discuss the diversity and classification of neurotransmitters. By the mid 1960s, there were only three neurotransmitters that had been discovered and identified. These were acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and gamma amino butyric acid commonly known as GABA. But now, more than 100 neurotransmitter molecules have been identified. These neurotransmitters vary in their size, in their molecular weights, and in their chemical structures. Based on their chemical structure, these neurotransmitters are classified into two groups. The first group includes small low molecular weight neurotransmitters, while the second group contains larger sized high molecular weight neurotransmitters which are derived from amino acids. First, we shall discuss the small low molecular weight neurotransmitters. They include acetylcholine, some amino acid neurotransmitters, for example GABA, glycine, glutamate, and aspartate. They also include biogenic amines. That include norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, and histamine. Some gases are also small low molecular weight neurotransmitters. These are carbon monoxide and nitric oxide. The large high molecular weight neurotransmitters are the neuropeptides. These neuropeptides are large sized molecules which are derived from amino acids. More than 40 neuropeptide transmitters are present in the central nervous system of mammals. These neuropeptides include many hypothalamic and pituitary peptide hormones. They include the substance P, that is a substance that is involved in the reduction of pain. Moreover, endorphins and encephalins are also neuropeptides. Many amino acid derivatives in addition to these substances are also neuropeptides. Dear students, another pattern of classification is based on the mode of action of neurotransmitters. According to mode of action the neurotransmitters are classified into two groups. Fast direct neurotransmitters and slow indirect neurotransmitters. The fast direct neurotransmitters act directly on the ion channels and change the conductance of post-synaptic membrane for various ions. These include acetylcholine and amino acids glutamate, aspartate, glycine and GABA. Dear students, the slow indirect neurotransmitters work through indirect biochemical pathways that involve G-proteins. These neurotransmitters act through a second messenger that changes the conductance of channel proteins. There are two groups of neurotransmitters in slow indirect neurotransmitters, these are not biogenic amines or neuropeptides. Many of the neurotransmitters involved in slow indirect neurotransmission also act as neuromodulators. Neuromodulators affect the neighboring neurons and modify their behavior at once.


Right now we're on board training ship Aries. It's an old Hellenic ship. It was a training ship for cadets But currently on board we have an Italian team and a Moroccan team They're going over small arms training and familiarization and we can train upwards of six seven teams simultaneously at NMIO DC


This paper examines the differences between the Japanese and Spanish approaches to providing long-term care, LTC. The authors argue that both countries have similar demographics, yet their approaches to LTC differ significantly. Japan offers universal coverage through a combination of formal services and cash payments, while Spain focuses primarily on cash payments. The authors then discuss how these differences can inform future policy decisions in both countries as they face increasing demand for LTC services. They also suggest that the two countries could learn from each other's experiences and reforms. This article was authored by Roald Del Posa Rubio and Dolores Jimenez Rubio.
