Priya Haji, a Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur known for her focus on socially-minded ventures in both the for-profit and non-profit spaces, most recently as CEO and co-founder of personal financial savings app SaveUp, passed away unexpectedly of natural causes on July 14th at the age of 44.

SaveUp co-founder and CFO Sammy Shreibati confirmed the news to TechCrunch today. The cause of death has not been verified by medical authorities, though we’re told that early assessments indicate a pulmonary embolism or cardiac event may have occurred.

Prior to founding SaveUp, Haji co-founded and led World of Good, a marketplace for fair trade and sustainable goods made by female artisans from developing countries. World of Good was acquired by eBay in February 2010. Haji founded her first social venture, a free health clinic in her hometown of Bryan, Texas, while she was still in high school, according to a 2011 profile published in Forbes. Haji earned a BA from Stanford University and an MBA from UC Berkeley.

Shreibati shared the following statement on behalf of SaveUp:

“I am incredibly saddened to write that my friend and co-founder Priya Haji passed away at her home on the evening of July 14, 2014. Her 11-month-old daughter and 2-year-old son survive her. Priya’s nickname was ‘Firecracker’, a name that her mother gave her because her birthday was on the 4th of July. At SaveUp we fed off her energy and passion to build something that helped the world. From her non-profit work at Free At Last to her ventured-backed companies World of Good and SaveUp, Priya was always striving to help people in everything she did. She was a courageous leader and colleague, but first and foremost a friend. Priya was one of the pioneers of female entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley. When she asked me to create this amazing company with her, I was honored and thrilled to be a part of it. She was an inspiration and made me a better person. We lost a wonderful leader, innovator, and friend and all of us at SaveUp are profoundly grieving.”

Memorials to Haji have also been shared over the past two days by many saddened friends and colleagues on Twitter and Facebook. Chicago-based entrepreneur Cheryl Dahle has established a crowdfunding campaign on Fundly to help support Haji’s young children. A celebration of her life is scheduled to occur on Saturday, June 19 in the San Francisco Bay Area; further details will be posted on a Facebook memorial page that’s been set up by her family.

In the 2011 interview with Forbes, Haji said her ultimate goal in business was to help solve problems for people in need, and encouraged others to do the same. She said:

“My entrepreneurial imagination gets inspired by seeing how I can help people through an innovative use of business or technology. …I think the best ideas to solve the biggest problems are still out there to be done – and someone reading this article might have one. If that is you – trust yourself, and go for it! The worst thing that can happen is that it will not work, and who knows: You might create something even better than you imagined.”

Haji also discussed her outlook on using business and technology for social good in a 2012 video interview with Aol’s Makers series. You can watch that embedded below.

Priya Haji was an inspirational and positive presence in the technology and business worlds, and she will be greatly missed.

Personal finance management is the process of planning and controlling your financial resources effectively. It involves creating a budget, saving money, investing, and managing debts. Effective personal finance management can help you achieve your financial goals, such as buying a house, funding your education, or saving for retirement.

## Chapter 2: Creating a Budget

Creating a budget is the first step in personal finance management. A budget is a plan that outlines your income and expenses. You can create a budget by listing all your sources of income and all your monthly expenses, such as rent, utilities, food, and transportation. Then, you can allocate a portion of your income to each expense category.

## Chapter 3: Saving Money

Saving money is an essential part of personal finance management. You can save money by cutting back on unnecessary expenses, such as eating out or buying expensive clothes. You can also save money by shopping around for better deals on insurance, utilities, and other services. Additionally, you can open a savings account and automate your savings by setting up a monthly transfer from your checking account to your savings account.

## Chapter 4: Investing

Investing is another crucial aspect of personal finance management. Investing involves putting your money into assets that can grow in value over time, such as stocks, bonds, or real estate. Investing can help you achieve long-term financial goals, such as funding your retirement or buying a house. Before investing, you should research different investment options and understand the risks involved.

## Chapter 5: Managing Debts

Managing debts is an essential part of personal finance management. Debts can include credit card balances, student loans, and mortgages. To manage your debts effectively, you should pay off high-interest debts first and avoid accumulating more debt. You can also consolidate your debts into a single loan with a lower interest rate.

## Chapter 6: Conclusion

Personal finance management is a critical skill that can help you achieve your financial goals and live a financially secure life. By creating a budget, saving money, investing, and managing debts, you can take control of your financial future.

Lesson: Introduction to Digital Photography

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Digital photography is the process of capturing and storing images using an electronic camera instead of film. This allows photographers to instantly view, edit, and share their images without the need for developing and printing physical photographs. In this lesson, we will explore the basic principles of digital photography, including exposure, composition, and editing.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

To illustrate these concepts, let's consider a simple scene: a person walking on a beach.

Exposure: To capture the perfect exposure, we need to balance the amount of light that enters the camera. This can be achieved by adjusting the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings. For example, if the person is walking towards the camera in bright sunlight, we may need to use a smaller aperture to avoid overexposing the image.

Composition: To create an interesting and visually appealing image, we need to think about the placement of the subject within the frame. We can use techniques such as the rule of thirds or leading lines to guide the viewer's eye towards the subject.

Editing: After taking the photo, we can use editing software to enhance the image further. This may include adjusting the color balance, contrast, and saturation to achieve the desired look.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Now that we have a basic understanding of digital photography, let's apply these concepts to a real-world scenario. Imagine you are a photographer assigned to capture the beauty of a city park.

Exposure: As you walk around the park, you will encounter different lighting conditions. In areas of direct sunlight, you may need to use a higher ISO setting to avoid underexposure. In shaded areas, you may need to use a slower shutter speed or wider aperture to allow more light into the camera.

Composition: As you frame your shots, think about how you want the viewer to experience the park. Do you want them to feel as though they are walking alongside the person taking the picture? Or do you want them to see the park from a bird's-eye view? Consider using leading lines, such as paths or fences, to guide the viewer's eye through the image.

Editing: Once you have captured your images, you may wish to enhance them using editing software. For example, you could increase the contrast to make the colors pop or adjust the white balance to warm up an image taken on a cloudy day.

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we have explored the basic principles of digital photography, including exposure, composition, and editing. By applying these concepts to real-world scenarios, we can create stunning images that capture the beauty of our surroundings. As you continue to practice and refine your skills, remember to always think critically about your choices and ask yourself what you can do to improve your photography.

text: The Kemp Type 77 is a primary weapon for the Sniper class in Blitz Brigade. It is the default weapon for the Axis' sniper, and is one of two default primary weapons for the Sniper, along with the CWM M03. In terms of stats, the damage is poor for a sniper rifle, and the rate of fire isn't that great either mainly because it is a bolt-action rifle. The critical chance is average, the ammo capacity also average, and the range is especially poor for a sniper rifle, considering the fact that the Velikaya (which isn't too expensive), has a range of just over 300 feet. The scope isn't very powerful, and isn't as good as the scope on the Poacher or the Rosebud. Overall, it is good for a starting sniper. It is based on the Karabiner 98 kurz.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for detecting an air/fuel ratio of engines such as an automotive engine.
Typically, automotive engines include an air/fuel-ratio sensor (including an oxygen sensor) arranged in an exhaust pipe or the like and for detecting the oxygen concentration or the like in exhaust gas.
The air/fuel-ratio sensor comprises typically an elongate plate-like heater, an oxygen-ion conductive solid electrolyte layer formed on the heater in a laminated way and activated by heat therefrom, a plurality of electrodes arranged on the surface of the electrolyte layer, and a gas diffusion layer which cooperates with the electrolyte layer to externally cover the electrodes.
The air/fuel-ratio sensor detects an engine air/fuel ratio by measuring pumping current or diffusion limiting current which passes between the electrodes when externally applying the voltage to the air/fuel-ratio sensor.
Using an air/fuel-ratio detection signal derived from the air-fuel-ratio sensor, an engine electronic control unit feedback-controls a fuel-injection amount in such a way as to bring the air/fuel ratio close to a theoretical value (A/F=14.7), a lean value (A/F≧15), and the like, thereby enhancing the combustion efficiency and fuel consumption of the engine.

textbook:
Lesson: How to Build an Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor

Introduction:
An air/fuel ratio sensor is a device used to measure the amount of air and fuel in an engine's combustion chamber. This information is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and efficiency in automotive engines. In this lesson, we will learn about the components of an air/fuel ratio sensor, how it works, and how to build one.

Section 1: Components of an Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor

**The Heater**: The heater is an elongate plate-like component that heats up the electrolyte layer. It is typically made of a material that can withstand high temperatures, such as platinum or nickel.

**Oxygen-Ion Conductive Solid Electrolyte Layer**: This layer is formed on the surface of the heater and is responsible for conducting oxygen ions. It is typically made of zirconium oxide or other materials that can withstand high temperatures and have good ionic conductivity.

**Electrodes**: These are small metal pads arranged on the surface of the electrolyte layer. They are used to collect the oxygen ions produced by the electrolyte layer.

**Gas Diffusion Layer**: This layer covers the electrodes and allows gases to diffuse onto the electrolyte layer. It is typically made of ceramic materials such as alumina or cordierite.

Section 2: How an Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor Works

When the air/fuel ratio sensor is heated up, the oxygen ions in the electrolyte layer start to move towards the electrodes. This movement generates a current called "pumping current" or "diffusion limiting current." By measuring this current, the air/fuel ratio sensor can determine the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas.

Section 3: Building an Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor

To build an air/fuel ratio sensor, you will need the following materials:

- A heater made of a high-temperature material such as platinum or nickel
- An oxygen-ion conductive solid electrolyte layer made of zirconium oxide or other materials
- Small metal electrodes
- A gas diffusion layer made of ceramic materials such as alumina or cordierite

Here are the steps to build an air/fuel ratio sensor:

1. Place the heater on a flat surface.
2. Form the oxygen-ion conductive solid electrolyte layer on the heater using a casting or deposition method.
3. Arrange the electrodes on the surface of the electrolyte layer.
4. Place the gas diffusion layer over the electrodes.
5. Connect the electrodes to a voltage source and measure the pumping current or diffusion limiting current.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the components of an air/fuel ratio sensor, how it works, and how to build one. Understanding the principles behind this device can help us develop better engines and improve their performance and efficiency.

Lesson: Understanding Pension Benefits for Kerala State Employees

Introduction:
Pension benefits are an essential part of an employee's retirement plan. In this lesson, we will learn about the pensionary benefits for Kerala state employees who come under the UGC/MES/AICTE schemes. We will also explore the differences between pay scales and pay bands and how they affect pension calculations.

Section 1: Understanding Pension Benefits

Topic 1: Pension Benefits for Kerala State Employees
- Kerala state employees who come under the UGC/MES/AICTE schemes are eligible for pension benefits.
- These pension benefits are regulated by a pay band, not a pay scale.
- The method of calculating 50% of the minimum of pay scale cannot be applied to these pay bands, which include a range of designations.

Topic 2: Pension Calculations
- Pension calculations are based on an employee's length of service and last drawn salary.
- The amount of pension is usually a percentage of the employee's final salary, often between 50-70%.
- Some employers may also offer additional benefits, such as a lump sum payment or early retirement options.

Section 2: Understanding Pay Scales and Pay Bands

Topic 1: Differences Between Pay Scales and Pay Bands
- Pay scales are a series of steps that represent an employee's salary progression over time.
- Pay bands are broader categories that group pay scales together.
- Pay bands do not have specific salary ranges like pay scales do.

Topic 2: How Pay Scales and Pay Bands Affect Pension Calculations
- Since pension benefits for Kerala state employees coming under the UGC/MES/AICTE schemes are regulated by pay bands, not pay scales, the calculation method used for pay scales cannot be applied.
- Instead, pension benefits for these employees are calculated based on their position within the pay band.

Section 3: Practical Examples

Topic 1: Calculating Pension Benefits for Kerala State Employees
- Suppose an employee has worked for the Kerala government for 30 years and is retiring at the highest position in their pay band.
- Their last drawn salary is Rs. 50,000 per month.
- Based on their years of service and last drawn salary, their pension benefit would be calculated as 50% of Rs. 50,000, which is Rs. 25,000 per month.

Topic 2: Real-World Scenarios
- Consider a teacher who has been working under the UGC scheme for 25 years and is now eligible for pension benefits.
- Since they are under the UGC scheme, their pension will be calculated based on their position within the pay band, rather than a specific pay scale.
- This means that their pension benefit will be determined by factors such as their job responsibilities, education level, and experience, rather than just their length of service and last drawn salary.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the pension benefits for Kerala state employees who come under the UGC/MES/AICTE schemes. We also explored the differences between pay scales and pay bands and how they affect pension calculations. By understanding these concepts, we can better understand how pension benefits work and how they are calculated for different types of employees.

Title: Introduction to Drug Development

## Chapter 1: Understanding Drug Development

### Section 1.1: What is Drug Development?
Drug development is the process of discovering, designing, and producing new medicines. It involves several stages, from basic research to clinical trials, before a new drug can be approved for use by patients.

### Section 1.2: Why is Drug Development Important?
Drug development is important because it helps to improve human health and treat diseases. Without new drugs, we would not be able to cure or manage many illnesses, and people would suffer unnecessarily.

### Section 1.3: Who is Involved in Drug Development?
Many different professionals are involved in drug development, including chemists, biologists, pharmacologists, doctors, and engineers. They work together in teams to design, test, and produce new medicines.

## Chapter 2: The Drug Development Process

### Section 2.1: The Stages of Drug Development
The drug development process typically includes several stages:

1. **Discovery**: This stage involves finding new compounds that could potentially be used as drugs. Scientists use various techniques, such as screening large libraries of chemicals, to identify promising candidates.

2. **Preclinical testing**: Once a potential drug candidate has been identified, it must be tested in the lab to determine its safety and efficacy. This stage involves a variety of tests on cells, tissues, and animals.

3. **Clinical trials**: If the drug candidate passes preclinical testing, it moves on to clinical trials, where it is tested on human volunteers. Clinical trials are conducted in several phases, each with specific goals:

   - Phase 1: Testing the drug in a small group of healthy volunteers to assess safety and side effects.
   - Phase 2: Testing the drug in a larger group of people who have the condition being treated to determine efficacy and further assess safety.
   - Phase 3: Testing the drug in an even larger group of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, and compare it to other treatments.
   - Phase 4: Monitoring the drug's safety and efficacy after it has been approved and is available on the market.

4. **Regulatory approval**: If the drug successfully passes all clinical trial phases, it can be submitted for regulatory approval by agencies such as the FDA in the United States. These agencies review the data from the clinical trials to determine whether the drug is safe and effective for its intended use.

5. **Manufacturing**: If the drug receives regulatory approval, it can be manufactured and distributed to patients.

### Section 2.2: The Role of Collaboration in Drug Development
Collaboration between academia and industry is crucial for successful drug development. Industry partners often provide funding, resources, and expertise in areas such as manufacturing and clinical trials, while academic institutions contribute their research capabilities and knowledge in specific areas such as chemistry, biology, and pharmacology.

## Chapter 3: Conclusion

Drug development is a complex and lengthy process that requires the collaboration of many professionals and organizations. However, the end result – new medicines that can improve human health and save lives – makes it all worthwhile. By understanding the basics of drug development, we can appreciate the importance of this field and the efforts of those who work in it.

Cooking oil in the country is so scarce and valuable citizens will smuggle it from overseas. To create a domestic supply, departed leader Kim Il Sung encouraged his rural subjects to grow weed, known locally as yeoksam.

Stories of Chinese businesspeople and tourists visiting North Korea and coming home with some North Korean hemp, available for $72 a kilogram, have circulated for months. (While the North Korean weed likely has little to no THC, cannabis is strictly forbidden in China, so this Cold War-era ditch weed is the best they can do.)

But as any reader of Jack Herer knows, hemp oil can be used for fuel as well as food.

And according to a source in North Korea’s North Hamgyong Province, the hemp there is grown to be used as fuel for military purposes, Radio Free Asia reported.

“[B]asically the purpose of planting cannabis is to extract fuel for drones,” the source told RFA.

North Korea recently suffered a fuel crisis, with filling stations shutting down and gasoline prices doubling in March, according to Chinese state media reports. Around the same time, the government instructed farmers to replace soybean fields with cannabis, a source quoted by RFA said.

Each member of the North Korean Women’s Alliance was instructed to plant “33 square meters of marijuana,” with the argument that hemp oil has more fat than soy and is ergo a better source of cooking oil.

Used cooking oil can absolutely run a combustion engine. The first Ford Model T cars could run on hemp oil. But is there a small or sophisticated enough process to produce hemp-based fuel to run drones?

Maybe. Who knows—it’s North Korea. If you want to find out, go there yourself, and be prepared for a long stay.

In the meantime, one Western cultural export has apparently made its way past the demilitarized zone. It’s the drug war—and it’s thanks to China.

According to Radio Free Asia, wild hemp grows all over the North Korean countryside. Surplus crops were used as rabbit food by locals until they figured out why the Chinese tourists wanted some so badly—and now they fight each other for it.

Lesson: Extraction of Cooking Oil from Plants

Introduction:
Cooking oil is an essential ingredient in many cuisines around the world. However, not everyone has access to refined oils sold in stores. In some parts of the world, people extract oil from plants as a cheap and sustainable alternative. In this lesson, we will learn about the process of extracting cooking oil from plants and its importance in North Korea.

Section 1: Background Information

Cooking oil is a type of fat that is used for cooking, frying, and other culinary purposes. It is usually obtained from plants, such as seeds or nuts, through a process called extraction. In North Korea, cooking oil is scarce, and citizens have to resort to smuggling it from overseas. To create a domestic supply, the government encouraged people to grow weed, known locally as yeoksam.

Section 2: Extraction Process

There are several methods of extracting cooking oil from plants, but the most common one is mechanical pressing. This process involves grinding the seeds or nuts and then applying pressure to extract the oil. The resulting oil is a mixture of triglycerides, which can be further refined to produce pure cooking oil.

Section 3: Importance of Plant-Based Cooking Oil

Plant-based cooking oil has several advantages over animal-based fats. For starters, it is cholesterol-free, making it a healthier option for people with high cholesterol levels. Additionally, plant-based oils are rich in antioxidants and other nutrients that promote heart health. Finally, plant-based oils are environmentally friendly, as they require fewer resources to produce than animal-based fats.

Section 4: Practical Examples

In North Korea, people use yeoksam to extract cooking oil. The process involves boiling the weed in water, which causes the oil to rise to the surface. This oil can then be collected and used for cooking. In other parts of the world, people use seeds like sunflower or sesame to extract oil. These seeds are ground into a fine powder and then pressed to extract the oil.

Section 5: Critical Thinking

Why is cooking oil scarce in North Korea? How does the extraction process affect the final product? What are some other sources of cooking oil besides plants?

Glossary:
- Triglycerides: A type of fat found in plant-based oils and animal-based fats.
- Cholesterol: A type of lipid found in animal-based fats.
- Antioxidants: Chemicals that protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.

Conclusion:

Extracting cooking oil from plants is an important skill that has been practiced for centuries. In North Korea, people use yeoksam to create a domestic supply of cooking oil. While plant-based oils may not be as popular as animal-based fats, they offer several health benefits and are a sustainable alternative. By understanding the extraction process and its importance, we can appreciate the value of plant-based oils and their role in our diet.

Cardiac and metabolic demands of in place shallow water running in trained and untrained men.
The aim of this study was to assess maximal cardiac and metabolic demand imposed by in place shallow water running (SWR) and to compare such responses with those obtained during treadmill running (TMR). Twelve males, 6 trained (T) pentathletes (age: 19+/-1 years) and 6 untrained (UT) controls (age: 22+/-1 years), performed one maximal TMR test and one SWR maximal test. Heart rate (HR) and oxygen consumption (VO(2)) were continuously measured in both test conditions. In both groups, resting HR decreased immediately after water immersion (UT group: from 81.8+/-6.2 b x min(-1) to 69.2+/-6 b min(-1); T group: from 71.7+/-2.1 b x min(-1) to 61.7+/-7.7 b x min(-1)). In UT subjects SWR metabolic demand was comparable to that obtained during treadmill (VO(2tmr)=47.9 ml min(-1)+/-3.6; VO(2tmr)=45.2 ml x min(-1) +/- 6.8). In contrast, during shallow SWR, T subjects obtained lower V.O(2max) values with respect to TMR (V.O(2tmr)=68.9 mL x min(-1) +/-5.1; VO(2TMR)=57.2 mL x min(-1)+/-3.9; P<0.05). In the T group maximal HR was lower during SWR (from 191+/-8.1 to 177+/-7.1). At a given stride frequency, SWR was less demanding than treadmill in terms of V.O(2) and HR responses. During SWR the metabolic adjustments were depressed more than the cardiac adjustments. These findings suggest that in place SWR may be a useful exercise to reduce the effects of detraining.

Lesson: Comparing Cardiac and Metabolic Demands of Shallow Water Running and Treadmill Running
Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the differences in cardiac and metabolic demands between shallow water running (SWR) and treadmill running (TMR). We will explore how these differences affect the body and how they can be applied to improve our fitness.
Section 1: Understanding Cardiac and Metabolic Demands
Cardiac demand refers to the workload placed on the heart, while metabolic demand refers to the amount of energy required by the body. Both of these demands increase during exercise, and the difference between SWR and TMR can have significant implications for our fitness.
Section 2: Comparing Cardiac Demand
During SWR, the heart rate is typically lower than during TMR. This is because the water provides resistance, which reduces the need for the heart to pump as hard. However, the cardiac demand can still increase depending on the intensity of the workout.
Section 3: Comparing Metabolic Demand
Metabolic demand is affected by several factors, including the body's need for oxygen and the amount of energy being used. During SWR, the body's oxygen consumption is typically lower than during TMR. This is because the water provides support, reducing the impact on the joints and muscles. However, the metabolic demand can still increase depending on the intensity of the workout.
Section 4: Applying the Differences to Improve Fitness
Understanding the differences between SWR and TMR can help us make informed decisions about our exercise routines. For example, if we are looking to improve our cardiovascular fitness, SWR may be a better option because it places less strain on the heart. On the other hand, if we are looking to improve our muscular strength and endurance, TMR may be a better option because it places more impact on the joints and muscles.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, understanding the differences between SWR and TMR can help us make informed decisions about our exercise routines. By comparing cardiac and metabolic demands, we can determine which type of exercise is best for our fitness goals. Whether you choose SWR or TMR, remember to always listen to your body and adjust your workout accordingly.
Glossary:
- Cardiac demand: The workload placed on the heart during exercise
- Metabolic demand: The amount of energy required by the body during exercise
- Oxygen consumption: The amount of oxygen required by the body during exercise
- Impact: The force exerted on the body during exercise

Immunocytochemical evidence of heterogeneous origin of alpha-fetoprotein in immature teratoma of the ovary.
alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) has been found to be clinically important in the management of patients with gynecologic malignancies. Serum AFP levels are used as tumor markers for ovarian tumors, namely endodermal sinus tumors (EST) and embryonal tumors. In two cases of immature teratoma of the ovary without a yolk sac component, evidence for AFP production was found in a wide variety of cells of both endodermal and ectodermal origin suggesting a heterogeneous origin of AFP. To complement this finding, a summary of the ontology of AFP along with current and potential uses of an antigenically active tumor marker are presented.
