First Report of Cylindrocladium pseudonaviculatum Causing Leaf Spot of Pachysandra terminalis.
Cylindrocladium pseudonaviculatum Crous, J.Z., Groenew. & C.F. Hill 2002 was recently reported infecting common boxwood, Buxus sempervirens L., in Connecticut (2). We isolated the pathogen from leaf and stem lesions of B. sempervirens and obtained single-spored cultures on half-strength potato dextrose agar (½PDA). The pathogen was identified as C. pseudonaviculatum by morphological characteristics (1). Colony size reached 71 mm in diameter after 14 days at room temperature on ½PDA, and was fluffy with white aerial hyphae, mars brown, and reverse color chestnut brown at the center fading to pale brown forming concentric bands. Macroconidiophores were solitary or in a group of up to three, comprised a stipe, a sterile elongation, and one to three penicillate fertile branches. The stipe was up to nine septate, 90 to 250 μm long, colorless, smooth, terminating in a naviculate or broadly ellipsoidal vesicle with a pointed or papillate apex, and 27 to 50 × 6.5 to 9 μm. Primary branches were zero- to one-septate, 20 to 36 × 4 to 5 μm; secondary branches were aseptate and 11 to 20 × 3 to 4.5 μm; tertiary branches were rare, each terminal branch producing two to five phialides; phialides were doliiform or reniform, colorless, 12 to 18 μm. Conidia were cylindrical, rounded at both ends, straight, smooth, colorless, two-celled, 48 to 55 × 4.5 to 5.5 μm, and in colorless slimy cylindrical clusters. Microconidiophores were not observed. Chlamydospores were golden to dark brown, thick-walled, and smooth or rough. Microsclerotia were present on ½PDA. Primers T1 and T22 (3) were used to amplify a portion of the β-tubulin gene from isolates Cps-CT-L1 and Cps-CT-S1. Amplified sequences were used in a BLAST search against the GenBank database to demonstrate 100% sequence identity only with other C. pseudonaviculatum strains. Both sequences were deposited in GenBank (Accession Nos. JQ866628 and JQ866629), using corresponding gene data from C. pseudonaviculatum strain STE-U 3399 (GenBank Accession No. AF449455) to distinguish coding from noncoding regions. Healthy plants of Japanese spurge, Pachysandra terminalis, with three plants per 10 cm diameter pot, were inoculated with water alone or a conidial suspension of C. pseudonaviculatum isolate Cps-CT-L1 (ATCC MYA-4891) (1.0 × 106 conidia/plant) with a handheld sprayer until runoff. Plants were kept moist in a plastic bag for 48 h at laboratory temperature and then transferred to the greenhouse. Circular lesions (1- to 4-mm diameter) were evident on leaves after 10 days. All 12 inoculated plants developed lesions, and no lesions were observed on noninoculated plants. Leaves with lesions were surface sterilized in 0.5% NaOCl for 30 s, rinsed twice in sterile water, and lesion margins plated onto water agar or ½PDA. The pathogen was reisolated from at least one leaf per plant. Koch's postulates were performed again with isolate Cps-CT-S1 (ATCC MYA-4890). After 3 weeks, many of the leaves with lesions yellowed and dropped to the soil surface and heavy sporulation of C. pseudonaviculatum and microsclerotia were observed. To our knowledge, this is the first report of C. pseudonaviculatum causing a leaf spot disease on P. terminalis. Pachysandra is a widely grown ground cover suitable for shady, humid environmental conditions that may be conducive for the development of disease. References: (1) P. Crous, et al.

We could say
that the latest film of Adam Curtis, HyperNormalisation, is an
update of some of his previous films, which is enriched with the most
recent global events and developments. The new film presents also
interesting stories about some key figures in the development of
cybernetics and the modern perception of non-linear politics.

A special
"chapter" describes an interesting story concerning the
idea of independent cyberspace and how some hackers managed to prove
that this was only a kind of illusion.

One of the
leading exponents of the idea that cyberspace could be a place where
we would be liberated from the old, corrupt hierarchies of politics
and power and explore new ways of being, was John Perry Barlow.

In the ’60s,
Barlow had written songs for the Grateful Dead and been part of the
acid counterculture. In the 90s, he organised what he called
“cyberthons”, to try and bring the cyberspace movement together.

Barlow then
wrote a manifesto that he called A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace. It was
addressed to all politicians, telling them to keep out of this new
world. It was going to be incredibly influential, because what Barlow
did was give a powerful picture of the internet not as a network
controlled by giant corporations, but, instead, as a kind of magical,
free place. An alternative to the old systems of power. It was a
vision that would come to dominate the internet over the next 20
years.

But two
young hackers in New York thought that Barlow was describing a
fantasy world, that his vision bore no relationship at all to what
was really emerging online. They were cult figures on the early
online scene and their fans followed and recorded them. They called
themselves Phiber Optik
and Acid Phreak and they
spent their time exploring and breaking in to giant computer networks
that they knew were the hard realities of modern digital power.

In a
notorious public debate online, the two hackers attacked Barlow. What
infuriated them most, was Barlow's insistence that there was no
hierarchy, or, controlling powers in the new cyber world. The hackers
set out to demonstrate that he was wrong.

Acid Phreak
hacked into the computers of a giant corporation called TRW. TRW had
originally built the systems that ran the Cold War for the US
military. They had helped create the delicate balance of terror.

Now, TRW had
adapted their computers to run a new system, that of credit and debt.
Their computers gathered up the credit data of millions of Americans
and were being used by the banks to decide individuals’ credit
ratings. The hackers broke into the TRW network, stole Barlow’s
credit history and published it online. The hackers were
demonstrating the growing power of finance. How the companies that
ran the new systems of credit knew more and more about you, and,
increasingly, used that information to control your destiny.

But the
system that was allowing this to happen were the new giant networks
of information connected through computer servers. The hackers were
questioning whether Barlow’s utopian rhetoric about cyberspace
might really be a convenient camouflage hiding the emergence of a new
and growing power that was way beyond politics.

Lesson: Introduction to Metal Clay Jewelry Making

**Introduction**
Metal clay is a unique material that allows artists to create jewelry pieces without the need for traditional metalworking techniques. It is a mixture of fine silver or gold particles, binders, and water. Once dried or fired, the binder burns away, leaving behind a solid piece of metal that can be polished, etched, or engraved. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of metal clay jewelry making, including tools, techniques, and design considerations.

**Section 1: Tools and Materials**
To begin, you will need some basic tools and materials. These include:
- Metal clay (either fine silver or gold)
- Clay conditioner
- Rolling mill
- Texturing tools (such as stamps or brushes)
- Sheet metal scissors
- Scalpel or X-Acto knife
- Polishing cloths
- Patina or oxidizing solution (for silver clay only)

**Section 2: Techniques**
There are several techniques involved in working with metal clay, including:
- Preparing the clay: This involves conditioning the clay to make it more workable. You may also add water to the clay to adjust its consistency.
- Rolling out the clay: Using a rolling mill or a slab roller, you can flatten the clay into sheets or ropes.
- Texturing the clay: You can use texturing tools to add patterns or designs to the clay. This can be done before or after the clay has been rolled out.
- Cutting and shaping the clay: Use sheet metal scissors or a scalpel to cut and shape the clay. Be careful not to press too hard, as this can cause the clay to crack.
- Building up layers: You can stack multiple sheets of clay on top of each other to create more complex shapes.
- Drying the clay: Once you have finished shaping the clay, let it dry completely before firing. The amount of time required will depend on the brand of clay and the humidity levels in your workspace.

**Section 3: Design Considerations**
When designing jewelry pieces with metal clay, there are several factors to consider. These include:
- Balance: Your piece should feel balanced and well-proportioned. This can be achieved by paying attention to the size and placement of individual elements.
- Texture: Adding texture to your piece can help create visual interest and depth. This can be done through rolling, cutting, or adding texturing tools to the clay.
- Color: If you are working with gold clay, you can add color by applying patinas or oxidizing solutions. With silver clay, you can create contrast by polishing certain areas while leaving others unpolished.
- Strength: Make sure your piece is strong enough to withstand wear and tear. This may require additional reinforcement or support structures.

**Conclusion**
By following these guidelines, you can create beautiful and unique jewelry pieces using metal clay. With practice and experimentation, you will develop your own style and techniques. Remember to have fun and be creative as you explore this exciting medium!

**Glossary**
- Fine silver: A type of metal clay made from pure silver.
- Gold clay: A type of metal clay made from gold particles.
- Binder: The substance that holds the metal particles together in the clay.
- Oxidizing solution: A chemical solution that reacts with the metal in silver clay to create a black patina.
- Polishing cloths: Used to buff and shine the metal clay after firing.
- Patina: A chemical reaction that occurs on the surface of metal, creating a colored or textured effect.

Lesson: Introduction to Patents

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a government to an inventor or assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for public disclosure of an invention. Patents protect inventions from being copied or used by others without permission.

## Section 2: Questions and Answers

**Question:** What is the purpose of a patent?
**Answer:** The purpose of a patent is to grant exclusive rights to an inventor or assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for public disclosure of an invention.

**Question:** How long does a patent last?
**Answer:** A patent typically lasts for 20 years from the date it was filed.

**Question:** Who can apply for a patent?
**Answer:** Only an inventor or their assignee can apply for a patent.

## Section 3: Definitions and Examples

**Definition:** A provisional patent application is a legal document that describes an invention and its operation. It allows the inventor to claim priority to the invention while they continue to develop and refine the idea.

**Example:** If an inventor comes up with a new product idea but doesn't have the resources to immediately file a full patent application, they can file a provisional patent application to secure their place in line for a patent.

**Definition:** A non-provisional patent application is a legal document that describes an invention and its operation in detail. It is used to seek a utility patent, design patent, or plant patent.

**Example:** Once an inventor has developed their idea and refined their invention, they can file a non-provisional patent application to seek protection for their invention.

## Section 4: Practical Examples

**Example:** If an inventor came up with a new type of light bulb that used less energy and lasted longer than traditional light bulbs, they could file a provisional patent application to secure their place in line for a patent. They would then continue to develop and refine their invention before filing a non-provisional patent application to seek protection for their invention.

**Example:** If a company wanted to protect their new product design, they could file a design patent application to seek protection for the unique appearance of their product. This would prevent other companies from copying their design and selling similar products.

## Section 5: Self-Debating Discussions

**Discussion:** Why is it important to seek protection for intellectual property through patents?

**Answer:** Seeking protection for intellectual property through patents is important because it allows inventors and companies to protect their ideas from being copied or used by others without permission. This encourages innovation and creativity, as inventors and companies are more likely to invest time and resources into developing new products and technologies if they know their work will be protected. Additionally, patents provide a competitive advantage in the marketplace, as they can be used to prevent competitors from selling similar products or using similar technologies.

## Glossary

**Patent:** A set of exclusive rights granted by a government to an inventor or assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for public disclosure of an invention.

Bovine embryo transfer pregnancies. II. Lengths of gestation.
Lengths of gestation were determined from 1,484 pregnancies resulting from embryo transfer procedures. Least-square means of lengths of gestation by breed of embryos (P less than .005) were: Holstein, 278.7; Angus, 281.0; Hereford, 285.7; Simmental, 287.6 and Limousin, 289.7 d. Recipient breed had a small effect on length of gestation (P less than .005). The length of gestation for recipients less than 4 yr old was 2.7 d shorter (P less than .005) than for older recipients. As asynchrony of recipient and donor estrus changed by 1 d, length of gestation changed linearly by .78 d (P less than .005). Male calves were carried 1.4 d longer than females (P less than .005). Embryo age at time of transfer, embryo quality, length of embryo storage between collection and transfer, and donor age did not affect length of gestation significantly. Lengths of gestation of 185 embryo transfer pregnancies were 1.5 d longer (P greater than .1) than those of 305 matched control pregnancies from the same farms. We conclude that length of gestation of embryo transfer calves and length of gestation of non-embryo transfer calves are influenced by similar factors.

Lesson Title: Understanding Monetary Policy Implementations and Economic Developments

Introduction:
Monetary policy is the process by which governments and central banks manage the money supply to achieve specific economic objectives. In this lesson, we will explore the role of the Central Bank of Turkey (CBRT) in implementing monetary policy and reporting on economic developments.

Section 1: Understanding Monetary Policy Implementations

Topic 1: What is Monetary Policy?
- Monetary policy refers to the actions taken by central banks to control the money supply and interest rates to achieve specific economic goals.
- These goals may include price stability, full employment, and economic growth.

Topic 2: How does the CBRT implement Monetary Policy?
- The CBRT implements monetary policy by adjusting its policy interest rate.
- This interest rate is called the "one-week deposit rate" and is set by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) at regular meetings.
- When the MPC raises or lowers the one-week deposit rate, it influences the cost of borrowing and lending in the economy.

Topic 3: How does the CBRT report on Monetary Policy Implementations?
- The CBRT publishes reports on monetary policy and policy implementations as well as the main economic developments on a regular basis.
- The CBRT publishes the quarterly CBRT Bulletin, which covers monetary policy implementations of the CBRT and major economic developments.
- The CBRT also publishes the Central Bank Review, which is a double-blind refereed journal covering macroeconomic stability, financial stability, liquidity management, payment, clearings and settlement systems, and reserve management.

Section 2: Understanding Economic Developments

Topic 1: What are Economic Developments?
- Economic developments refer to changes or improvements in the economy that can affect people's lives.
- These developments may include changes in GDP, inflation, unemployment rates, and other economic indicators.

Topic 2: How does the CBRT report on Economic Developments?
- The CBRT reports on economic developments in its publications, including the CBRT Bulletin and the Central Bank Review.
- These reports provide information on the state of the economy and how it is changing over time.
- By monitoring these developments, the CBRT can make informed decisions about monetary policy implementations.

Section 3: Applying Skills to New Problems

Question: How might the COVID-19 pandemic affect monetary policy implementations and economic developments in Turkey?
Answer: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global economy, including Turkey. The pandemic has led to a decrease in economic activity, higher unemployment rates, and lower inflation. As a result, the CBRT has implemented monetary policy measures to support the economy, such as cutting interest rates and providing liquidity support to financial institutions. Additionally, the pandemic has disrupted global supply chains, leading to changes in import and export prices, which can affect inflation and economic growth.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have explored the role of the CBRT in implementing monetary policy and reporting on economic developments. We have also discussed how the COVID-19 pandemic may affect these processes. By understanding these concepts, we can better appreciate the importance of central banks in managing the economy and making informed decisions about monetary policy implementations.

Senate passes Dinniman’s AED’s-in-Schools Bill

The Pennsylvania Senate unanimously approved Aidan’s Law, the bill introduced by state Sen. Dinniman to help ensure all Pennsylvania schools have Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) on hand in case of sudden cardiac arrest.

The legislation – named in memory of Aidan Silva, the 7-year-old Brandywine Wallace Elementary School student who died on Sept. 4, 2010, from unexplained sudden cardiac arrest – now goes to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for consideration.

Dinniman credited the parents of the late Aidan Silva, Christy Marshall Silva and Steve Silva of East Brandywine, for Wednesday’s key vote.

“As state senator, I was the author and prime sponsor of this legislation. But credit for its passage in the Senate truly goes to the Silvas and their friends, such as Kelly Hagelauer of Uwchlan,” Dinniman said. “Their relentless work for this bill -- in the form of research, creating public awareness, and making numerous phone calls to legislators and staff -- is truly what pushed Aidan’s Law to the finish line in the Senate.

“Aidan’s loved ones have turned their grief into action that will save young lives across the Commonwealth. All that must happen now is for Pennsylvania House members and the governor to throw their support behind Aidan’s Law, and I am confident that they will,” Dinniman said.

If the legislation approved by the Senate becomes law, Pennsylvania will keep a record of AED’s in public and private schools, including their age and condition. To assist schools without AED’s or with outdated AED’s, the Commonwealth will biennially issue an RFP for AED’s, negotiate a bulk-rate price, and then provide them to schools at cost.

To further lessen the cost for school districts, the legislation lets school districts use Pennsylvania Accountability Grants and Education Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) funds to purchase AED’s . The bill also gives the General Assembly the discretion to annually set aside funds to further assist school districts in purchasing AED’s.

AED’s drastically increase the chances of survival for children and adults who suffer sudden cardiac arrest. The goal when sudden cardiac arrest strikes is to get to an AED and back to the victim within two to three minutes, according to the American Heart Association. It further says that when CPR only is performed on a victim prior to the arrival of EMT’s, there is a less than 5 percent chance of survival. But when an AED is used, the chance of survival jumps to 74 percent or better.

Steve Silva said, “Aidan always looked out for the other kids, even at his young age. While this legislation will not bring Aidan back, it helps to know that his memory is associated with efforts to prevent the loss of another child in Pennsylvania. We are so very grateful to Sen. Dinniman for his support and leadership and to the state Senate officers for theirs as well. Lives will truly be saved if this bill becomes law.”

Dinniman said, “If a student suffers sudden cardiac arrest in school, at an athletic event or at some other school event, there should be an AED nearby to greatly increase their chances of survival.

Lesson: Understanding the Importance of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in Schools

**Introduction:**

In this lesson, we will explore the importance of having Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in schools. We will learn about the role of AEDs in saving lives during sudden cardiac arrest, the need for schools to have access to these devices, and the steps involved in using an AED.

**Main Topic:**

1. What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating. It is usually caused by an electrical malfunction in the heart that disrupts its normal rhythm. SCA can happen to anyone, anywhere, and at any time. It is essential to act quickly by calling for emergency medical services and using an AED if available.

2. The Role of AEDs in Saving Lives

An AED is a portable, easy-to-use device that can help save lives during sudden cardiac arrest. It works by delivering an electric shock to the heart, which can restore a normal heartbeat. AEDs are designed for use by non-medical personnel and can be found in many public places, including schools.

3. Why Do Schools Need AEDs?

Schools need AEDs because they are responsible for the safety and well-being of their students and staff. Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, and having an AED on hand can mean the difference between life and death. In addition, schools often have large populations of students and staff, making it more likely that someone will experience SCA.

4. How to Use an AED

Using an AED is straightforward and easy to learn. Here are the steps involved:

1. Call for emergency medical services (EMS) and send someone to get an AED.
2. Open the AED's carrying case and follow the instructions to turn it on.
3. Attach the AED's electrode pads to the person's chest, following the instructions on the device.
4. Follow the AED's voice prompts and push the "shock" button if instructed to do so.
5. Continue CPR until EMS arrives or the person shows signs of life.

**Conclusion:**

In conclusion, understanding the importance of AEDs in schools is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of students and staff. By learning about sudden cardiac arrest and the role of AEDs in saving lives, we can better prepare ourselves for emergencies and advocate for their availability in our schools.

Lesson: Introduction to Wine Tasting and Pairing

**Objective:** To introduce students to the basics of wine tasting and pairing.

**Introduction:** Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes. It has been enjoyed for thousands of years and is associated with social gatherings, celebrations, and cultural events. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of wine tasting and pairing.

**Section 1: Wine Tasting**

Wine tasting is the process of evaluating wine based on its color, aroma, taste, and finish. Here are some key terms you should know:

- Color: The appearance of the wine, which can range from pale yellow to deep red.
- Aroma: The scent of the wine, which can be fruity, floral, spicy, or earthy.
- Taste: The flavor of the wine, which can be sweet, sour, bitter, or umami.
- Finish: The aftertaste of the wine, which can be short, medium, or long.

To taste wine, follow these steps:

1. Look at the color of the wine.
2. Swirl the wine in your glass to release the aroma.
3. Smell the wine and identify any aromas you detect.
4. Take a small sip of wine and let it coat your tongue.
5. Taste the wine and identify any flavors you detect.
6. Swallow the wine and note the finish.

**Section 2: Wine Pairing**

Wine pairing is the process of selecting foods that complement the flavors and aromas of the wine. Here are some general guidelines for pairing wine with food:

- Light-bodied wines (e.g., Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc) pair well with light dishes such as salads, seafood, and chicken.
- Medium-bodied wines (e.g., Chianti, Merlot) pair well with pasta, pizza, and grilled meats.
- Full-bodied wines (e.g., Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah) pair well with steak, lamb, and rich dishes.

When pairing wine with food, consider the following factors:

- Flavor: Match the intensity of the wine with the flavors of the food.
- Texture: Choose a wine that complements the texture of the food (e.g., a light, crisp wine with a salad).
- Temperature: Serve the wine at an appropriate temperature to enhance its flavors.

**Section 3: Practical Examples**

Let's apply the concepts we learned in the previous sections to a practical example. Suppose you are serving a lamb dish with roasted vegetables. You would want to select a medium-bodied wine that can stand up to the rich flavors of the lamb and complement the earthy taste of the roasted vegetables. A suitable choice could be a medium-bodied Syrah or a Chianti.

**Glossary:**
- Color: The appearance of the wine, which can range from pale yellow to deep red.
- Aroma: The scent of the wine, which can be fruity, floral, spicy, or earthy.
- Taste: The flavor of the wine, which can be sweet, sour, bitter, or umami.
- Finish: The aftertaste of the wine, which can be short, medium, or long.
- Light-bodied: A type of wine that is low in alcohol content and has a delicate flavor.
- Medium-bodied: A type of wine that has a moderate amount of alcohol and flavor.
- Full-bodied: A type of wine that is high in alcohol content and has a rich flavor.

**Conclusion:** In this lesson, we learned about the basics of wine tasting and pairing. By understanding the key terms and concepts, we can make informed decisions when selecting and serving wine. This knowledge can be applied to various scenarios, from casual dinners to formal events.
