Female Chinese Wheelchair Racers Finish NYC Marathon

Chinese paralympics champion Zou Lihong competes during the 2017 New York City Marathon on Nov 5, 2017. [chinadaily.com.cn]

Four Chinese wheelchair racers were invited to compete in the 2017 New York City Marathon on Sunday, and two of them finished the course for the first time in history.

Chinese paralympics champion Zou Lihong, 33, ranked fourth place and became the first Chinese woman wheelchair racer to finish the 26.2-mile, five-borough race with a time of 2 hours, 3 minutes and 20 seconds.

On the men's side, three Chinese wheelchair racers were invited to race for the first time, and Zhang Yong, 25, finished the course with a time of 1 hour, 50 minutes and 51 seconds.

Unfortunately, the other two, Dai Yunqiang and Song Lei, had to drop out at the 40 kilometer-mark due to flat tires.

Last year, Zou was invited to the event after winning the gold medal in the women's marathon at the Rio Paralympics in the summer, where she narrowly beat Tatyana McFadden, an American marathoner who had swept 17 straight victories in major marathons, including last year's.

However, her right rear tire went flat halfway through the run at the 13-mile point. The tire could not be repaired.

This year, despite not being in the best physical condition after catching a cold, Zou came back with three other teammates and better prepared.

"We tested our tires with two months of training in Shanghai ahead of the race. New York City's road situation is very different, and we paid extra attention to avoid tire damage," Zou said, "all we wanted was to finish the race."

Huang Peng, head coach of the Chinese Wheelchair Racing Team, said. "Our Chinese athletes are good at track races, but we don't have much experience in city marathons."

"We tried our best to train and prepare so that our athletes can be better at wheelchair racing in the future," Huang said.

Zou said their performance will break new ground and bring more opportunities to young Chinese athletes to compete worldwide.

"I invited the three other athletes to come this year, so that they can have more opportunities to be invited to other worldwide events," Zou said with a smile. "That's how it worked, the older one paves the way for younger generations."

"Marathons have always been European and American featured sports. We cannot compete with their genes and experience. But, the gifted may not be the best," said Song Lei, 22, who just started attending competitions abroad this year.

"The marathon is also a sport about spirit. We can always make a record if we don't give up."

The New York City's mayor's office reported that more than 2 million people turned out this year to watch more than 50,000 runners from 125 countries compete.

Among them, there were also some Chinese volunteers.

"The marathon is becoming fashionable in China and around the globe. It encourages an environmental-friendly lifestyle. I hope to see more Chinese racers next year," said Tina Wu, a sports business major at NYU.

The effect of 100 Hz magnetic field combined with X-ray on hepatoma-implanted mice.
Our previous cellular experiments demonstrated that 100 Hz magnetic field (MF) was effective at enhancing apoptosis of liver cancer cells BEL-7402 induced by X-ray irradiation. This study was performed to further explore the possible synergism between 100 Hz MF and X-ray in treatment of hepatoma-implanted Balb/c mice. 100 Hz MF exposure with a mean flux density of 0.7 mT was performed inside an energized solenoid coil. Six MV X-ray irradiation was generated using a linear accelerator. Tumor growth and survival of mice implanted with H22 cells were evaluated by measuring the tumor diameters and overall days of survival. Six groups treated with 100 Hz MF or X-ray alone or a combination of MF and X-ray were examined. Furthermore, the effects of different numbers of MF exposure periods on tumor growth and mice survival were examined when combined with 4 Gy X-ray. Data referring to overall survival days and tumor diameters of the above groups were compared using log-rank test and Student's t-test. Our results showed that five periods of combined 100 Hz MFs and 4 Gy X-ray could significantly extend the overall days of survival and reduce the tumor size compared to MF or X-ray alone. Also, a greater number of 100 Hz MF exposure periods could further improve the survival and inhibit tumor growth in hepatoma-implanted mice when combined with 4 Gy X-ray. In conclusion, these findings suggested that 100 Hz MF could possibly synergize with 4 Gy X-ray in terms of survival improvement and tumor inhibition in hepatoma-implanted mice.

A Win-Win for Gold Miners?

Frank Holmes, CEO of US Global Investors, discusses the outlook for gold and gold miners, highlighting some favorite stock positions, helped by US Global’s various metals and resource-related funds.

Steven Halpern: Our guest today is Frank Holmes, CEO of US Global Investors. How are you doing, Frank?

Frank Holmes: I am very well, thank you.

Steven Halpern: Well, thank you for joining us. You recently noted that, for the first time in several years, gold mining stocks are outpacing the yellow metal itself which you consider a win-win. Could you expand on that?

Frank Holmes: What I think the big thing, Steven, is that we’ve seen, by the end of December of 2013, where gold stocks fell for three years in a row. Now over 30 days of data, that’s only happened three times.

Mathematically, we were down what they call two standard deviations, which meant that we’re due for a substantial rally. That is just based on price and historical movement.

What we’ve seen, also, that’s important, that’s taken place this year is stocks far outperformed bullion because many CEOs have lost their jobs. Companies have restructured down, basically, to streamline their operations and focus on profitable reserves, profitable production, rather than growth for any sake.

Steven Halpern: Now you recognized that there are challenges in the gold mining sector, particularly, the specific price levels that need to be in be in place in order for these mining companies to be profitable.

Frank Holmes: Yes, they ran their costs up, because what we saw on—looking at data points—is that the cost of mining equipment, the cost of engineering to comply with all the environmental demands—and the environmental rule making—grew faster than the price of gold, so they had external factors that were driving up their cost structure faster than their revenue line.

Now you’re seeing this reverse, where they cut back on development, et cetera, and focused on only high-quality production and the companies that we really like are the ones that demonstrate on a fundamental basis.

Now on our Web site, we have a cube, we like to call it, and we have found that the three key factors of looking at gold stocks, or resource stocks, is growth in production, growth in reserves, and growth in cash flow.

And what we do on an individual name is compare that so, say to all the stocks that are in the HUI and the GDXJ and what is the average in that index.

We then take a look at the individual names, which have a catalyst, a management and a momentum that they’re increasing over the next 18 months their production faster than the index, their reserves faster than the index, and their cash flow potential will be faster than the index’s overall growth.

Steven Halpern: So, in terms of individual stocks, one company Comstock Mining (LODE) is a position that you hold in your Gold and Precious Metals Fund, could you tell us a little about that?

Frank Holmes: Well, it’s a US based mining operation that looks like it has the potential—and based on press releases and financials and feasibilities they’ve sent out—their production profile is faster than any gold index.

CIBC recently came out with a piece of research showing that they expect gold supply from mines to actually be falling for the first time over the next five years. This is a company that has a very constructive growth profile.

The other one, which we recently commented on, that’s in our portfolio is Klondex (KDX), and Klondex also has a very robust growth profile compared to any index and it has excellent sponsorship, like Franco Nevada (FNV), which is a royalty company.

Lesson: Introduction to Gold Mining Stocks

### Overview

In this lesson, we will learn about gold mining stocks, their performance, and why they are considered a "win-win" for investors. We will cover the following topics:

1. What are gold mining stocks?
2. Why are gold mining stocks considered a "win-win"?
3. How do gold mining stocks perform compared to physical gold?
4. What are the risks associated with investing in gold mining stocks?
5. How can we analyze gold mining stocks?
6. What are some examples of gold mining stocks?

### Section 1: What are gold mining stocks?

Gold mining stocks refer to the shares of publicly traded companies that are engaged in the exploration, mining, and processing of gold. These companies may also produce other metals or minerals as a byproduct of their gold mining activities.

### Section 2: Why are gold mining stocks considered a "win-win"?

Gold mining stocks are considered a "win-win" because they offer investors the potential for capital appreciation and dividend income. When the price of gold rises, the value of the mining company's assets (i.e., the gold reserves) increases, which can lead to an increase in the company's stock price. Additionally, many gold mining companies pay dividends to shareholders, providing them with a stream of income.

### Section 3: How do gold mining stocks perform compared to physical gold?

Historically, gold mining stocks have underperformed physical gold. This means that when the price of gold goes up, the stock prices of gold mining companies do not always rise at the same rate. However, this underperformance can create opportunities for investors to buy gold mining stocks at a discount to the spot price of gold.

### Section 4: What are the risks associated with investing in gold mining stocks?

Investing in gold mining stocks comes with several risks, including:

1. Commodity price risk: The price of gold can be volatile, and if it falls, the value of gold mining stocks may decline.
2. Company-specific risks: Each gold mining company has its own unique set of risks, such as operational risks, financial risks, and regulatory risks.
3. Political risk: Gold mining companies may operate in politically unstable regions, which can expose them to additional risks.
4. Currency risk: If a gold mining company operates in a foreign country, it may be exposed to currency fluctuations, which can affect its financial performance.

### Section 5: How can we analyze gold mining stocks?

There are several ways to analyze gold mining stocks, including:

1. Fundamental analysis: This involves analyzing the company's financial statements, management team, and competitive position to determine its intrinsic value.
2. Technical analysis: This involves using charts and other tools to identify trends and patterns in the stock's price movement.
3. Comparative analysis: This involves comparing the company's financial metrics (such as P/E ratio, dividend yield, and debt-to-equity ratio) to those of its peers.

### Section 6: What are some examples of gold mining stocks?

Some examples of gold mining stocks include:

1. Barrick Gold Corporation (GOLD)
2. Newmont Mining Corporation (NEM)
3. AngloGold Ashanti Limited (AU)
4. Kinross Gold Corporation (KGC)
5. Goldcorp Inc. (GG)

### Conclusion

In conclusion, gold mining stocks offer investors the potential for capital appreciation and dividend income, while also exposing them to risks such as commodity price risk, company-specific risks, political risk, and currency risk. By analyzing gold mining stocks using fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and comparative analysis, investors can make informed decisions about whether to invest in these securities.

Performance of broilers fed limited quantities of feed or nutrients during seven to fourteen days of age.
Three experiments were conducted with male broilers to study the effects of early life undernutrition. In all studies, treatments were represented by three or four replicate floor pens, each containing 30 to 40 birds. In Experiment 1, broilers were fed at 0.75 kcal ME/gBW0.67 for 4 d, 1.5 kcal ME/gBW0.67 for 5 d or 2.25 kcal ME/gBW0.67 for 6 d, all imposed beginning at 6 d of age. Birds were smaller following feed restriction (P < 0.01) although growth compensation occurred, and at 49 d all restricted birds were heavier (P < 0.01) than full-fed control birds. Improved growth was associated with improved feed conversion (P < 0.01), although carcass composition was unchanged. In a second study, birds were fed at 0.75 kcal ME/gBW0.67 for 3, 4, or 5 d, starting at either 4, 7, or 10 d of age. When feed restriction was applied early, or for shorter periods of time, growth compensation occurred (P > 0.05). With other more severe feed restriction, birds were smaller (P < 0.05) at 49 d compared to controls. Feed conversion was improved following prior feed restriction (P < 0.01, 0 to 49 d). In a third trial, broilers were fed a starter diet diluted with 50% oat hulls. Birds failed to consume enough of this diluted feed, and so were initially smaller. However 49-d weight was not affected (P > 0.05). When periods of 24-h feed withdrawal were imposed in conjunction with the diluted diets, birds were underweight at 49 d. It is concluded that physical feed restriction at 0.75 to 1.5 kcal ME/gBW0.67 imposed for 3 to 4 d in the second week of life currently presents the best option as a means of controlling broiler growth so as to improve feed efficiency.

Lesson: Introduction to Nutrition and Growth in Broilers

### Section 1: Understanding Nutrition and Growth in Broilers

Nutrition is an essential aspect of raising healthy and productive broilers. It involves providing the right amount and type of food to meet the bird's energy and nutrient requirements. Proper nutrition is crucial for optimal growth, development, and overall health of broilers. In this lesson, we will explore the importance of nutrition in broilers, the effects of early life undernutrition, and how to prevent and manage such situations.

### Section 2: The Effects of Early Life Undernutrition on Broilers

Early life undernutrition can have significant negative impacts on broilers. These impacts include reduced growth rates, lower body weight, and poor feed conversion. In addition, undernourished broilers may have reduced carcass composition, which can affect the quality of the meat produced.

To understand the effects of early life undernutrition, let's look at the results of three experiments conducted with male broilers. In these experiments, the birds were fed limited quantities of feed or nutrients during the first seven to fourteen days of their age. The results showed that birds fed less food had lower body weight and reduced growth rates compared to those fed adequate amounts of food. However, once the undernourished birds received enough food, they were able to catch up and reach similar body weights as the well-fed birds.

### Section 3: Preventing and Managing Early Life Undernutrition in Broilers

To prevent and manage early life undernutrition in broilers, it is essential to provide them with the right amount of food and nutrients from the start. This can be achieved by following these guidelines:

1. Provide adequate nutrients: Ensure that the food you provide contains the right balance of nutrients required for proper growth and development. Consult with a nutritionist or veterinarian to determine the appropriate feed and nutrient levels for your broilers.

2. Monitor feed intake: Regularly monitor the feed intake of your broilers to ensure that they are consuming the right amount of food. Overfeeding can lead to obesity and other health issues, while underfeeding can result in undernutrition and poor growth.

3. Maintain proper environmental conditions: Keep the temperature, humidity, and lighting conditions optimal for broiler growth. Extreme temperatures or humidity can affect the bird's appetite and ability to digest food, leading to undernutrition.

4. Avoid sudden changes in diet: Abrupt changes in the diet can disrupt the bird's digestive system and lead to undernutrition. Gradually introduce new feeds or changes in the diet to allow the birds to adjust.

5. Watch for signs of illness: If broilers show signs of illness, such as reduced activity or appetite, consult with a veterinarian as soon as possible. Early intervention can prevent undernutrition and other health issues.

### Conclusion:

In conclusion, proper nutrition is essential for the growth and development of broilers. Early life undernutrition can have negative impacts on their growth rates, body weight, and feed conversion. By following the guidelines provided in this lesson, you can prevent and manage early life undernutrition in broilers, ensuring healthy and productive birds.

Lesson: How to Create a Resume

Introduction:
A resume is a document that showcases your skills, experiences, and achievements to potential employers. It is an essential tool when applying for jobs, as it provides a summary of your qualifications and demonstrates why you are a suitable candidate for the position. In this lesson, we will explore the steps involved in creating a resume, including gathering information, analyzing employer needs, and presenting your qualifications effectively.

Section 1: Gathering Information
The first step in creating a resume is gathering information about yourself. This includes your work history, education, skills, and accomplishments. Some facts will be more obvious, such as companies you have worked for or courses you have taken. However, to create a focused resume, you need to dig deeper and identify your strengths, weaknesses, and achievements. This will help you tailor your resume to the specific job you are applying for.

Lesson: Introduction to Amino Acids

## Section 1: What are Amino Acids?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are organic compounds that contain an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), and a side chain (R group) that distinguishes each amino acid from another. There are 20 different amino acids that can be found in proteins, and each has a unique structure and function.

## Section 2: The Structure of Proline
Proline is one of the 20 amino acids found in proteins. Its molecular weight is 115.13, and its molecular formula is C5H9NO2. Proline is classified as a hydrophobic amino acid because it has a nonpolar side chain that is bonded to the nitrogen atom and the alpha-carbon atom. This structure makes proline more conformationally restricted than other amino acids, which means that it has a limited number of ways it can fold into a protein.

## Section 3: The Role of Proline in Protein Architecture
Proline plays an important role in protein architecture because its unique structure allows it to influence the overall shape and function of a protein. When proline is incorporated into a protein, it can cause the protein to fold in a specific way, which can affect the protein's ability to interact with other molecules or perform its function.

## Section 4: Codons for Proline
Four codons translate for Proline: CCU, CCC, CCA, and CCG. These codons are used by the genetic code to specify the incorporation of proline into a protein during translation.

## Glossary
- Amino Acid: A molecule that contains an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), and a side chain (R group) that distinguishes each amino acid from another.
- Hydrophobic: A term used to describe a molecule that is not attracted to or does not dissolve well in water.
- Conformationally Restricted: A term used to describe a molecule that has a limited number of ways it can fold into a protein.
- Protein: A large, complex molecule made up of one or more polypeptide chains that are folded into a specific three-dimensional structure and perform a specific function in an organism.
- Polypeptide Chain: A long chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about amino acids, specifically proline, and its role in protein architecture. We also learned about the structure of proline and how it differs from other amino acids. Finally, we explored the codons that translate for proline in the genetic code. By understanding the properties and functions of amino acids like proline, we can better understand how proteins are built and function in living organisms.

Lesson: Introduction to Feed Supplements for Sheep and Goats

**Objective:** To understand the importance of feed supplements for sheep and goats and how to choose the right one.

**Introduction:** Sheep and goats are herbivores that primarily feed on grass and other plant materials. However, during periods of feed shortage or when the quality of pasture is poor, they may require additional nutrients to maintain their health and productivity. Feed supplements are designed to provide the necessary energy, protein, and minerals to meet their dietary needs.

**Section 1: Understanding the Need for Feed Supplements**

**Topic 1: Importance of Feed Supplements**
- Feed supplements are essential for sheep and goats to maintain their health and productivity, especially during periods of feed shortage or when the quality of pasture is poor.
- They provide the necessary energy, protein, and minerals that are not available in the pasture.
- Feed supplements can also help improve the overall health and fertility of the animals.

**Topic 2: Types of Feed Supplements**
- There are several types of feed supplements available for sheep and goats, including grains, pellets, and blocks.
- Grains are usually the cheapest option and can be fed as a complete diet or mixed with hay or silage.
- Pellets are a concentrated form of feed that is easy to handle and store. They are often used for animals that are not able to consume large amounts of feed.
- Blocks are similar to pellets but are typically larger and more expensive. They are designed to be fed free-choice, meaning the animal can consume as much as they need.

**Section 2: Choosing the Right Feed Supplement**

**Topic 3: Factors to Consider When Choosing a Feed Supplement**
- The type of animal being fed (e.g., sheep, goats, or a combination)
- The age and stage of production (e.g., growing, lactating, or finishing)
- The quality and availability of pasture or hay
- The animal's individual needs and preferences

**Topic 4: Evaluating Feed Supplements**
- Look for a feed supplement that is specifically designed for sheep and goats.
- Check the ingredients list to ensure that it contains the necessary energy, protein, and minerals.
- Choose a supplement that is easy to feed and store.

Lesson: Introduction to Spectrum Management

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Spectrum management involves the allocation of radio frequencies to different users to ensure efficient use of the available resources. It is essential in various industries, including telecommunications, broadcasting, and aviation. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of spectrum management, including the importance of spectrum, the role of regulatory bodies, and the different types of spectrum.

### Section 2: Practical Examples
To understand the practical applications of spectrum management, let's consider an example. Suppose there are two wireless networks operating in the same area. One network uses a frequency range of 700 MHz, while the other uses 2.5 GHz. The 700 MHz frequency provides better coverage and penetration, making it suitable for rural areas. On the other hand, the 2.5 GHz frequency offers higher data rates and is ideal for urban areas with high-density traffic. By understanding the characteristics of each frequency band, the network operators can optimize their coverage and capacity.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Now let's consider a real-world scenario. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States manages the nation's airwaves and ensures that they are used efficiently. In 2016, the FCC held an auction for the 600 MHz spectrum, which was previously used for television broadcasting. The auction generated $86 billion in revenue, with mobile network operators like Verizon and AT&T acquiring the spectrum to expand their network coverage. This example demonstrates the importance of spectrum management in the telecommunications industry.

### Glossary
- Spectrum: A range of radio frequencies used for communication
- Regulatory body: An organization responsible for managing and allocating spectrum
- Frequency: The number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time
- Bandwidth: The range of frequencies available for transmission

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about the basics of spectrum management, including its importance in various industries, the role of regulatory bodies, and the different types of spectrum. We also explored practical examples and real-world scenarios to understand the applications of spectrum management. By applying these concepts, we can optimize the use of radio frequencies and ensure efficient communication systems.
