Lesson: Introduction to Computer Vision

**Section 1: What is Computer Vision?**
Computer vision is the process of teaching computers to interpret and understand visual information from the world. It involves using algorithms and statistical models to identify and analyze objects, people, and scenes in images or videos.

**Section 2: Why is Computer Vision Important?**
Computer vision is important because it allows us to automate tasks that would otherwise require human intervention. For example, in a manufacturing plant, computer vision can be used to detect defects in products or to track inventory levels. In healthcare, computer vision can be used to analyze medical images to diagnose diseases.

**Section 3: How does Computer Vision Work?**
Computer vision works by breaking down an image into smaller parts called pixels. Each pixel contains information about the color and intensity of the light that reaches it. By analyzing the pixels, algorithms can identify patterns and make predictions about what is in the image.

**Section 4: Real-World Applications of Computer Vision**
Computer vision has many real-world applications, including:
- Self-driving cars
- Facial recognition
- Medical imaging
- Quality control in manufacturing
- Security cameras

**Section 5: Conclusion**
Computer vision is a powerful tool that allows us to automate tasks and make our lives easier. By understanding how computer vision works and its many real-world applications, we can apply these skills to new problems and continue to innovate in this field.

Lesson: Introduction to Philosophy

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Philosophy is the study of fundamental questions about reality, existence, and knowledge. It is an academic discipline that uses reason and logic to understand the world around us. In this lesson, we will explore some basic concepts in philosophy.

**Question:** What is philosophy?

**Answer:** Philosophy is the study of fundamental questions about reality, existence, and knowledge.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider an example to illustrate how philosophy can be applied to everyday life. Imagine you are at a crosswalk waiting for the walk signal to turn green. You notice that some people cross the street even when the walk signal is red. This raises a philosophical question: Is it right or wrong to cross the street when the walk signal is red?

**Question:** Is it right or wrong to cross the street when the walk signal is red?

**Answer:** This is a question that can be debated in philosophy. Some people may argue that it is wrong because it goes against the law and puts yourself and others in danger. Others may argue that it is not wrong as long as you are careful and do not cause harm to others.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Now let's consider a more complex scenario that involves multiple philosophical concepts. Imagine you are a judge in a court case where the defendant claims they were not responsible for their actions because they were under the influence of a mind-altering drug.

**Question:** As a judge, how would you decide this case?

**Answer:** This is a complex question that involves several philosophical concepts, such as free will, responsibility, and the nature of consciousness. You may need to consider whether the defendant was aware of their actions and whether they could have controlled them. You may also need to consider whether the defendant should be held responsible for their actions if they were not in their right mind.

### Glossary

- Philosophy: The study of fundamental questions about reality, existence, and knowledge.
- Theoretical concepts: Abstract ideas that are used to explain or describe a particular phenomenon.
- Practical examples: Real-life situations that demonstrate the application of a concept or idea.
- Real-world scenarios: Complex situations that involve multiple concepts or ideas.

### Conclusion

In this lesson, we explored some basic concepts in philosophy and applied them to real-world scenarios. By understanding these concepts, we can better understand the world around us and make informed decisions.

Lesson: Broadband Internet Access for All

Introduction:
Broadband internet access is essential in today's world. It allows us to access information, communicate with others, and perform various tasks. However, not everyone has equal access to broadband internet. This lesson will discuss the digital divide, its impact on minority and rural residents, and the efforts being made to bridge the gap.

The Digital Divide:
The digital divide refers to the unequal distribution of technology and internet access. It affects people based on factors such as income, race, age, and location. Minority and rural residents are often left behind in the digital age.

Broadband Internet Adoption:
According to a recent Pew study, broadband internet adoption rose by 25% among African Americans. Today, 40% of black adults have broadband access, up from 15% two years ago. This is promising, but there is still work to be done.

Internet Innovation Alliance (IIA):
The IIA is a group that advocates for universal broadband access. They believe that this study, while showing an increase, still validates the need for investment to provide more universal access.

Conclusion:
While progress has been made, there is still work to be done to ensure that all Americans have access to broadband internet. Groups like the IIA are working to bridge the gap, and we can all do our part by advocating for universal access. By doing so, we can ensure that everyone has the opportunity to take advantage of the content and information available via broadband internet.

Glossary:
Digital Divide: The unequal distribution of technology and internet access
Broadband Internet: High-speed internet access that allows for faster download and upload speeds
Universal Access: Access to broadband internet that is available to all individuals regardless of their location or socioeconomic status

Green Party of Alberta Contests Forthcoming By-Elections

CALGARY – Voters in two provincial constituencies that will be holding by-elections will have Green Party of Alberta candidates to choose from. Brian Deheer will represent the Green Party in the Fort McMurray – Conklin riding while Marco Reid will carry the Green Party banner in the Innisfail – Sylvan Lake constituency.

The contest in Fort McMurray – Conklin is in the offing because former United Conservative Party MLA, Brian Jean, resigned his seat.

Deheer, a musician and music teacher, is a resident of Lac La Biche and a former Deputy Leader of the Green Party of Alberta. His environmental work began 25 years ago when he was a founding member of Northern CARE, a community-based recycling advocacy group and when he worked on a conservation project for the Alberta Wilderness Association in Fort McMurray. He has continued his advocacy to this day.

Deheer has also twice been a federal candidate with the Green Party of Canada and once represented the Green Party of Alberta. “I believe in the Green Party’s plan to transition to a smarter, green economy,” says Deheer. “We should be protecting peoples’ health, livelihoods and communities. Oil and gas has brought great prosperity but it has come with some costs as well. We don’t have to put all of our eggs in one basket.”

The Innisfail – Sylvan Lake by-election will occur because of the resignation of former United Conservative Party MLA Don MacIntyre, who faced sexual assault and sexual interference charges.

Marco Reid,the current President of the Green Party of Alberta, is enrolled at the University of Calgary and is working towards a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. He is one of fourteen students pioneering the newly offered Certificate of Sustainability Studies at the University of Calgary, the first of its kind offered in Canadian Universities.

“My key interest in sustainability is to bring harmony to nature and society. By bringing sustainability practices into daily living at home, in leisure or in the workplace, we can mitigate the effects of Climate Change,” says Reid. “Electing Greens in the Alberta legislature is vital to achieving these goals.”

There are now seven Green Party MLA’s in Canada after the recent election of Green Party of Ontario Leader Mike Schreiner in the riding of Guelph. The Green Party of Alberta will be holding a leadership convention on September 22, 2018.

Decentralized Government

In this chapter, we will explore how blockchain technology is being used to permeate and improve government activity around the world.

To look for beginnings of mainstream blockchain use cases in ushering a new era of a decentralized government, look no further than Europe’s own self-styled ‘CryptoPolis’ - Chiasso, Switzerland. Along with its sister city, Zug, often referred to as ‘Crypto Valley’, this community on the Swiss-Italian border has recently allowed its residents to use cryptocurrency to make small tax payments.

The Lisk Foundation is based in Zug, Switzerland. The Lisk Foundation was one of the earliest such projects to base itself out of Zug. However, since that time many more blockchain projects have flocked to the area due to the cantons progressive attitude towards blockchain applications and cryptocurrencies.

While this option can be considered more a novelty, with mainstream currency still preferred for heavy tax lifting, Chiasso’s crypto-friendly fiscal policy provides a glimpse of how this technology can be implemented by governments in the future.

Blockchain Voting

Almost three quarters of all countries in the world can technically be considered at least partial democracies. That means they are dependent on voter consensus to elect officials and decide on nationwide referendums. Unfortunately, current voting systems are some of the most outdated, inefficient and manipulation-prone aspects of modern governance. Blockchain technology can be implemented to help encrypt and easily trace back the validity of the voting ballots of individual citizens. The decentralized ledger managing blockchain voting data also means that results are not processed by a central entity, which eliminates the risk of voting result manipulation in corrupt countries.

Another key feature of governance which will be revolutionized by blockchain uses is notarization service. Such administrative timestamps validate the exact time an action takes place in a citizen’s life; starting from events such as birth and death, but also when receiving new identity documentation, receiving certificates of education or exchange of ownership titles. Much of these processes are still done either on isolated databases or via brick-and-mortar bureaucracy, which is prone to mistakes. However, due to the encrypted nature of the data stored on a blockchain, all of these recordings will be safe and only visible to the owner or permitted parties.

The encrypted, decentralized and agile method of information storing pioneered by a future blockchain government ledger will result in a more responsive and user-friendly governmental interaction. What is being dubbed by tech enthusiasts as “responsible open data”, will enable blockchain-backed governmental bodies to process transactions with multiple citizens at the same time, such as registering a vehicle or processing social security documents from their home with the full assurance that their interaction was certified and stored safely on an encrypted ledger.

Using the decentralized government ledger in order to process and store such administrative procedures can help the government by improving documentation safety and processing power, while at the same time benefiting the citizens by potentially allowing them to cut down on time-wasting bureaucracy and frustrating governmental office lines.

In a lot of developing countries and emerging economies, control and distribution of social welfare can also be slow and prone to corruption. Third world governments either do not have the infrastructure to effectively handle government payments, or rely on third-party systems.

According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, M-PESA, a mobile-based payment system in East Africa, currently handles transactions totalling up to 60% of Kenya’s GDP flow.

Just as with a decentralized government ledger managing governmental procedures, voting and documentation, it is easy to apply a blockchain example with a trustless ledger that can be beneficial in fairly managing and efficiently distributing social welfare funds in countries that might not be lucky enough to afford reliable, traditional and centralized infrastructure.

While some countries and cities actively pursue many aspects of blockchain to solve their governance issues, a select few are betting on blockchain uses for a decentralized government. For example, technocratic states such as Dubai are preparing to transfer their entire governmental infrastructure and economy on a blockchain, thus making this United Arab Emirates city one of the unofficial capitals of this affluent industry. This metropolis is eager to use the technology to fully transfer and process complex government transactions on a ledger, or to use smart contracts to reduce clunky documentation of movement of goods within the state.

y implement some form of online voting, yet only a handful have managed to do so successfully. Blockchain technology offers a solution to this problem, by providing an immutable, transparent, and secure record of each vote cast.

Blockchain voting systems work by creating a unique digital identity for each voter, which is linked to their personal information. This identity is then used to verify their identity and ensure that they are eligible to vote. Once verified, the voter can cast their vote via a secure online portal, which is recorded on the blockchain.

The benefits of using blockchain technology for voting are numerous. Firstly, it ensures that the voting process is completely transparent, as all votes are recorded on the blockchain and can be audited by anyone. Secondly, it prevents any form of fraud or tampering with the voting process, as each vote is recorded on an immutable ledger. Finally, it eliminates the need for paper ballots, reducing the environmental impact of elections and saving taxpayers' money.

However, there are also some challenges associated with implementing blockchain voting. One of the main challenges is ensuring that the system is secure from hacking and cyber attacks. This requires significant investment in cybersecurity measures, as well as regular updates and patches to keep up with evolving threats.

Another challenge is the need for widespread adoption of blockchain technology. While some countries have already implemented blockchain voting systems, many others have not yet done so. This means that there may be a lack of familiarity with the technology among voters, which could lead to confusion and low turnout.

In conclusion, blockchain voting offers a promising solution to the challenges associated with traditional voting systems. By providing transparency, security, and cost savings, it has the potential to revolutionize the way that we conduct elections. However, it is important that governments invest in the necessary cybersecurity measures and work to educate voters about the technology in order to ensure its successful implementation.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The police made their move only one day after the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) released a notice letter marking the start of the agency’s investigation into House of Representatives (DPR) Speaker Setya Novanto’s involvement in the electronic ID card (e-KTP) corruption case. The police also issued its own investigation warrant for two KPK leaders, Agus Rahardjo and Saut Situmorang, on November 7.

The KPK’s summons for Setya was signed by Director of Criminal Investigation Aris Budiman on October 31, and sent three days later and circulated among the public through a WhatsApp group last Monday. The police named Agus and Saut suspects based on a report filed by Sandy Kurniawan, Setya’s lawyer, in mid-October.

The police and the KPK are clearly at odds. The police seem to have dismissed Article 25 in Law No. 31/1999 on Corruption Eradication: "Criminal investigation, prosecution, and questioning at the corruption court takes precedence over other cases."- Fighting Back- Madun Hariyadi, an activist with the NGO, State Wealth Rescuers Movement, reports KPK Chairman Agus Rahardjo for suspected corruption in the procurement of facilities and infrastructure for the new KPK building in 2016.

It was Fredrich Yunadi, Setya Novanto’s lawyer, who represented Madun when the latter was reported on the accusation of extortion in the name of the KPK in 2014.

In this lesson, we will explore the versatility of red nail polish, including its ability to look vintage or glamorous, pair well with other colors, and match different styles. We will also discuss the different finishes available in red nail polish and how they can add to the overall look.

**Main Topic:** The Versatility of Red Nail Polish

**Theory:** Red is a warm color that can be paired with both warm and cool colors. It's a great color for creating a bold and eye-catching look, but it can also be used subtly to enhance an outfit. Red nail polish can be used to create a variety of looks, from a classic French manicure to a trendy ombre effect.

**Practice:** Let's imagine you want to create a vintage look. You could choose a red nail polish with a creamy finish and apply it in a thin coat. To add to the vintage feel, you could add some white polka dots or a small bow at the edge of the nail. If you wanted to create a glamorous look, you could choose a red nail polish with a metallic finish and apply it in a thick coat, allowing it to overlap the cuticle for a dramatic effect.

**Example:** Let's say you have a red dress that you want to wear to a party. You could pair it with red nail polish in a satin finish to complement the shine of the dress. To add some contrast, you could choose a bright pink lipstick and gold jewelry to complete the look.

**Definitions:**
- **Vintage:** A style that is reminiscent of a previous era, often characterized by a nostalgic or romanticized view of the past.
- **Glamourous:** A style that is sophisticated, chic, and alluring, often associated with Hollywood stars and high fashion.
- **Finishes:** The texture and appearance of a nail polish, which can be matte, creamy, metallic, satin, or glittery, among others.

**Conclusion:** Red nail polish is a versatile and timeless choice that can be used to create a variety of looks. By understanding its different finishes and pairing options, you can easily create a style that suits your personality and outfit. Whether you're looking for a classic look or something more daring, red nail polish is a great option that will never go out of style.

Advances in science and technology are enabling cancer patients to live longer than ever before. Still, the everyday reality of cancer treatment is harsh.

The concomitant effects of chemotherapy and radiation can ravage healthy tissues while battling tumors. Oral therapies can come with a startling array of potential side effects and daunting price tags.

While many researchers race to identify new targets for treatment and formulate new therapies, a growing cadre of School of Nursing researchers is leading the nation in studies that examine the patient experience and how patient-reported outcomes can inform cancer care.

Deborah Bruner PhD RN FAAN, Robert W. Woodruff Professor of Nursing at Emory's Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, is a well-known expert in cancer clinical trials and oncology nursing research through Emory's Winship Cancer Institute. She is associate director for mentorship, training, and education at Winship, newly designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as a comprehensive cancer center for reducing cancer burden in Georgia. She is the first and only nurse to lead one of four adult NCI Community Oncology Research Programs. She also helped set new priorities for NCI clinical trials on symptom management and patient quality of life. In 2016, she was elected a member of the National Academy of Medicine.

"When you are in clinical practice, the physician mostly is interested in doing diagnostics and cure. In inpatient care, the nurse manages everything else—the symptoms related to disease and treatments, the environment around the patient to provide comfort and care, and the environment around the family to engender support," Bruner says. Nurses understand how evidence-based, supportive oncology care to families and patients decreases pain and suffering and improves quality of life. That knowledge has inspired Bruner to improve the patient experience in a rigorous, scientific way.

Over the years, her work has informed the NCI's adverse event reporting system, an important tool used to grade symptom toxicities associated with chemotherapy drugs, immunotherapies, precision medicine, radiation medicine, and surgery in cancer treatment—work that has made patient-reported outcomes as important in changing clinical practice as clinical outcomes.

Late last year, Congress passed the 21st Century Cures Act, authorizing $1.8 billion over seven years for NCI's Cancer Moonshot, a program designed to accelerate cancer research by making more therapies available to more patients, while also improving early detection and prevention of cancer.

Earlier this year, Bruner presented "Challenges in Cancer: Moonshots, Miracles, and Myths" during an academic symposium celebrating the inauguration of Emory's new president, Claire E. Sterk. In her talk, Bruner challenged the current funding model that prioritizes cures and precision treatments that benefit a fraction of cancer patients over research that benefits larger patient populations.

Because new precision medicines, immunotherapy treatments, and other "miracle" drugs are so costly, these drugs often are out of reach for the small number of patients who qualify for them. The discovery of the EGFR mutation in lung cancer offers a compelling example.

"Now we have immunotherapy drugs to treat patients with that mutation, and 10 percent of those patients had long-term survival and some have even been cured," Bruner says. "That is miraculous. But only 10 percent of lung cancer patients have the EGFR mutation, and only 10 percent of those patients experience the miracle."

Precision medicines come at another price: the possibility of side effects or even death.

"Some drugs, unfortunately, kill patients, and many of the side effects are terrible," Bruner notes. "Taste changes mean meals with family and drinks with friends will never bring the same pleasure again. Ulcers in the mouth mean you can't eat or drink at all. Blisters on your hands and feet mean you can't walk or touch or hold your child or play the piano. These side effects have not gotten enough attention. We are paying a lot of attention to cures but not to living with these cures."

Emory is an international leader in developing ground-breaking cancer treatments. It is also a leader in symptom science and quality of life.

"Precision medicine is not just genetics or immunotherapy," Bruner says. "Real precision medicine also takes into account environmental and lifestyle factors and puts them all together. How do we make sure a patient gets a $10,000 drug at home and takes it at noon and bedtime with the other drugs they are allowed to take? That is symptom science, and we have great nurse scientists at Emory who are studying that."

Lesson: Converting Units of Time

Introduction:
Time is an essential part of our lives, and we often need to convert units of time to suit our needs. In this lesson, we will learn how to convert months to hours and understand the concept of conversion factors.

Section 1: Conversion Factors
A conversion factor is a number that helps us change one unit of measurement into another. For example, if we want to convert 300 months to hours, we need to multiply it by the conversion factor for months to hours.

The conversion factor from months to hours is 730.485. This means that 1 month is equivalent to 730.485 hours.

Questions:
1. What is the conversion factor from months to hours?
Answer: The conversion factor from months to hours is 730.485.

2. How do we convert 300 months to hours?
Answer: We multiply 300 months by the conversion factor for months to hours, which is 730.485. Therefore, 300 months x 730.485 = 219145.5 hours.

Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's look at some practical examples to understand how to convert months to hours.

Example 1: If Emma worked for 100 months, how many hours did she work?
Solution: We multiply 100 months by the conversion factor for months to hours, which is 730.485. Therefore, 100 months x 730.485 = 73048.5 hours. Emma worked for 73048.5 hours.

Example 2: If John studied for 500 hours, how many months did he study?
Solution: We divide 500 hours by the conversion factor for hours to months, which is 730.485. Therefore, 500 hours / 730.485 = 68.52 months. John studied for 68.52 months.

Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
Converting units of time requires critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Let's engage in some self-debating discussions to understand the concept better.

Discussion 1: Why is the conversion factor from months to hours not a whole number?
Answer: The conversion factor from months to hours is not a whole number because there is no exact conversion between months and hours. The number of days in a month varies, and the number of hours in a day also varies. Therefore, we cannot have a whole number as a conversion factor.

Discussion 2: Can we convert years to days?
Answer: No, we cannot convert years to days directly. However, we can convert years to months and then to days. For example, if we want to convert 5 years to days, we first convert 5 years to months (5 years x 12 months/year = 60 months), and then we convert 60 months to days (60 months x 30.44 days/month ≈ 1826 days).

Glossary:
- Conversion factor: A number that helps us change one unit of measurement into another.
- Months: A unit of time used to measure the length of time between two dates.
- Hours: A unit of time used to measure the length of time an event takes place.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about converting units of time, specifically months to hours. We learned about the concept of conversion factors and how to apply them to practical examples. We also engaged in self-debating discussions to deepen our understanding of the topic. By mastering this skill, we can apply it to other units of time and solve various real-world problems.

Lesson: Understanding Geocaching Difficulty and Terrain Ratings

Introduction:
Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, where participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device to hide and seek containers called "geocaches" at specific locations marked by coordinates all over the world. To make it easier for geocachers to choose caches that match their skill level, difficulty and terrain ratings are assigned to each cache.

Difficulty Ratings:
- 1.0 - Easiest: This is usually a parked car or a microcache hidden in plain sight.
- 1.5 - Moderate: This cache requires some effort to find, such as hiking on a trail or looking for something hidden in plain sight.
- 2.0 - Challenging: This cache may require some advanced skills like rock scrambling or navigating through rough terrain.
- 2.5 - Most Difficult: This cache is designed for experienced geocachers who are comfortable with advanced skills and techniques.
- 3.0 - Extreme: This cache is designed for expert geocachers who are willing to take on dangerous or risky challenges.

Terrain Ratings:
- 1.0 - Flat: This cache is located in an area with no elevation changes, such as a city park or a flat field.
- 1.5 - Gently Sloping: This cache is located in an area with some elevation changes but not too steep.
- 2.0 - Hilly: This cache is located in an area with moderate elevation changes, such as a forest trail or a hillside.
- 2.5 - Mountainous: This cache is located in an area with steep elevation changes, such as a mountain range or a rugged terrain.
- 3.0 - High Terrain: This cache is located in an area with very steep elevation changes and difficult terrain, such as a rocky cliff face or a dense jungle.

Conclusion:
Understanding the difficulty and terrain ratings of a geocache can help you choose the right cache for your skill level and experience. Always use the D/T rating as a guide and read the cache description carefully before attempting to find a cache. Remember to respect the environment and follow the geocaching guidelines while searching for a cache. With this knowledge, you can now explore the world of geocaching and enjoy the thrill of hunting for hidden treasures!

text: The requirement imposed upon untenured ‘early career’ scholars to target only alleged “quality” publications is academic narrowcasting. Zines fall between the cracks of experiment and necessity. Over time necessity produces conformity. A conformity encouraged by pressures of dubious provenance, a consequence of the new privatisation championed by parasite aggregator companies like Elsevier, academia.edu and Taylor and Francis that prefer not to employ many people (as is the way of platform capitalism) and so engineer elite sector data compliance through simplification and regularity of product – electronic proletarianisation, insofar as this enables algorithmic automation (full luxury uniformity, replicant writing and dalek alliegences)….

Lesson: The Importance of Vaccination

Introduction:
Vaccines are one of the greatest achievements in modern medicine. They have saved countless lives and have contributed to the eradication of many deadly diseases. In this lesson, we will explore the importance of vaccination and learn about the science behind it.

Section 1: The History of Vaccination

Before we dive into the science, let's take a step back and look at the history of vaccination. The first successful vaccine was created by Edward Jenner in 1796. He discovered that milkmaids who had been infected with cowpox seemed to be immune to smallpox. He took material from a cowpox sore and injected it into a young boy, and the boy became immune to smallpox. This was the beginning of vaccination.

Section 2: How Vaccines Work

Vaccines work by introducing a weakened or inactivated form of a virus or bacteria into the body. This stimulates the immune system to produce a response, which includes the production of antibodies. These antibodies can recognize and neutralize the virus or bacteria if it enters the body again in the future. This is called immunity.

Section 3: The Benefits of Vaccination

There are many benefits to vaccination. First, it prevents the spread of disease. When enough people are vaccinated, it becomes difficult for a virus or bacteria to spread through a population. This is called herd immunity. Second, vaccines save lives. Diseases like polio, measles, and whooping cough were once common and deadly, but thanks to vaccines, they are now rare. Finally, vaccines are cost-effective. While the initial cost of developing a vaccine can be high, the long-term savings in healthcare costs and improved quality of life for individuals and communities make vaccination a wise investment.

Section 4: The Importance of Scientific Research

Scientific research is essential for the development of new vaccines. Without it, we would not have vaccines for diseases like COVID-19. Scientists like Rino Rappuoli, the subject of our case study, are working tirelessly to develop new vaccines and improve existing ones. Their work is crucial for protecting public health.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, vaccination is one of the most important public health interventions of all time. It has saved countless lives and has the potential to save even more. By understanding the science behind vaccination and supporting scientific research, we can continue to improve public health and protect ourselves and our communities from deadly diseases.
