Chris Hondros (March 14, 1970 – April 20, 2011) was an American war photographer.[1] Hondros was a finalist twice for a Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography.
Chris Hondros was born in New York City to immigrant Greek and German parents who were child refugees after World War II. He spent most of his childhood in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where he graduated from Terry Sanford High School in 1988.[2]
Hondros studied English literature at North Carolina State University where he also worked for the Technician, the campus newspaper.[3] In 1991, Hondros submitted his portfolio and was invited to attend the Eddie Adams Workshop.[4] After graduating from State in 1993, Hondros moved to Athens, Ohio, and earned a master's degree at Ohio University School of Visual Communications.[2] He began his career at the Troy Daily News in Ohio as an intern and later chief photographer before returning to Fayetteville in 1996 to begin a career with the The Fayetteville Observer and to be close to his father who died of cancer in 2000.[2][3]
Hondros left his job at The Fayetteville Observer in 1998 to return to New York and concentrate on international reporting. From his base in New York, Hondros worked in most of the world's major conflict zones since the late 1990s, including Kosovo, Angola, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Kashmir, the West Bank, Iraq, and Liberia.[3]
Hondros was awarded the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Photojournalism Grant in 1999.[5] In 2001, Hondros was selected for the Pew Fellowship for International Reporting through Johns Hopkins University.[5]
Following the September 11 attacks, Hondros took photographs at ground zero.[3] Hondros went to cover the Liberian Civil War in 2003. It was here that Hondros photographed Joseph Duo in an image that graced the front cover of publications worldwide.[6] Hondros also followed Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign in 2004.[3] When Hondros returned to cover the Liberian election in 2005, he was able to meet Joseph Duo again to discuss the progress that had been made in Liberia since his last visit.[6] His work included disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.[3] The United States presidential election in 2008 found Hondros photographing Governor and Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.[7]
His work appeared as the covers of magazines such as Newsweek and the Economist, and on the front pages of The New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times.[6] Photographer Tyler Hicks described Hondros as a "sensitive photographer," adding that "He never was in it for himself or for the vanity of what the job brings with it. He really believes in his work."[8]
His photography was featured in the documentary film, "Liberia: A Fragile Peace" (2006).[8]
Iraq photos[edit]
Hondros's images from Iraq, especially a January 2005 picture series detailing the shooting of an Iraqi family by U.S. troops, were published extensively and garnered worldwide acclaim and criticism.
On January 18, 2005, an Iraqi family was traveling in a car in Tal Afar. Thinking it was a suicide bomber, U.S. troops opened fire, killing both parents and paralyzing one of their five children sitting in the back seat. As a result of the worldwide interest in his case generated by Hondros's pictures, the boy, Rakan Hassan, was later flown to the United States for treatment in a Boston hospital, but was murdered in a bombing by insurgents shortly after his return.[9]
Hondros won dozens of international awards for the images.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] One of his pictures of this tragedy is likely to become "one of the few photos from the Iraq war that could stand out in history" according to Liam Kennedy, a professor at University College Dublin.[18]
In an interview, Hondros stated:
|Almost every soldier in Iraq has been involved in some sort of incident like that or another, I would say. Their attitude about it was grim, but it wasn't the end of their world. It was, "Well, kind of wished they'd stopped. We fired warning shots. Damn, I don't know why the hell they didn't stop. What're you doing later, you want to play Nintendo? Okay." Just a day's work for them. That stuff happens in Iraq a lot.[17]
Libya and death[edit]
It was reported on April 20, 2011, that Hondros had been fatally wounded in a mortar attack by government forces in Misrata while covering the 2011 Libyan civil war. Photojournalist Tim Hetherington was also killed in the attack, which wounded two other photographers.[19] Photojournalists Guy Martin said that the group was traveling with rebel fighters.[20][21] According to The New York Times, Hondros died from his injuries as a result of severe brain trauma.[22]
Chris Hondros Fund[edit]
The Chris Hondros Fund is a nonprofit organization established in 2011 in the memory of Hondros and his life's work.[23] The fund's mission is to provide non-profit institutions with grants to advocate for photojournalists. One fellowship for attendance to the Eddie Adams Workshop will be offered annually along with one other fellowship awarded by application.[23]
The first fellowship was awarded in 2012 by Getty Images and the Chris Hondros Fund.[24]
Hondros: A Life in Frames[edit]
Author Greg Campbell launched a Kickstarter campaign in 2013 to produce a documentary named Hondros: A Life in Frames.[25] The project was launched with an initial goal of $30,000.00 and became fully funded within three days with a total of $89,639.00 raised.[26][27]
Campbell and Hondros met and became best friends in high school.[26][28] After Hondros' death, Campbell was contacted by Liberian Joseph Duo, who was the subject of one of Hondros' most famous photographs.[27] Campbell learned that Hondros had returned to Liberia to help Duo earn his high school, college, and eventually law school education.[27]
The film will be narrated by actress Jamie Lee Curtis.[28] Curtis also assisted Campbell in finding the first significant funding for the project from the Annenberg Foundation.[28]
In August 2013 the project received enough votes to become Indiewire's "Project of the month".[29]

Aliens Ate My Homeworkby Bruce Coville

"I cannot tell a lie," says Rod Allbright. And it's the truth. Ask him a question and he's bound to give you an honest answer. Which is why, when his teacher asks what happened to last night's math assignment, Rod has to give the only answer he can: "Aliens ate my homework, Miss Maloney!"
Of course, no one believes Rod this time, so they don't bother to ask him why the aliens are here. It's just as well, since he is sworn to silence about their secret mission and the fact that he has been drafted to help them!

Read an Excerpt
I was still trying to think of a way to get revenge on Billy when the afternoon bus dropped Mickey and me in front of our houses. We live about four miles out of town, and there are not a lot of other kids around, except for our stupid "siblings" (as our teacher, Miss Maloney, calls them). Mickey has one sibling and I have two. Mickey's is a little sister named Markie. She is pretty much a normal kid.
Mine are a matched set, three-year-old twins known as Little Thing One and Little Thing Two. They are not normal by any stretch of the imagination.
Their real names are Linda and Eric. They decided they wanted to be Little Thing One and Little Thing Two after I read The Cat in the Hat to them. (They had a fight about who got to be Thing One, but since Linda was born first, Eric was doomed to lose that battle. He loses a lot of fights that way 1
My mother is totally unamused by these names, but she can't do much about them because (a) they were the Things' idea, and (b) the Things are only three years old. (In case you don't happen to have any around, let me explain that three-year-olds are very good at insisting on this kind of thing.)
My dog, Bonehead, started barking as I came up the driveway.
"Hello, Rod, pick up your feet," said Mom as I stumbled over the doorstep. "I'm glad you're here. Mrs. Nesbitt needs help, and I don't want to take Eric and Linda over there if I don't have to."
"My name isn't Eric," said Eric without looking up from the blue finger paint he was smearing across a big piece of paper. "It's Little Thing Two. And I like Mrs. Nesbitt. She gives me cookies."
Mrs. Nesbitt is this old lady who goes to our church. Mom sort of watches outfor her, which takes a lot of time.
Once I asked Mom why she did it. She just looked at me funny and said, "It needs to be done."
I wouldn't have cared all that much, except watching out for Mrs. Nesbitt didn't just mean extra work for Mom. (I mean, who do you think got stuck with Thing One and Thing Two while Mom was off playing Good Samaritan?)
"Can't you take them with you?" I asked. "I have to work on my volcano."
"The twins make Mrs. Nesbitt nervous."
"They make me nervous, too," I said. I started breathing fast and wheezing to prove it.
Mom gave me one of her looks. You know the kind I mean.
"All right," I muttered. "I'll do it."
Like I had a choice.
I decided to let the Things help me with the volcano -- or at least, with making the papier-mache I needed for the next step. The volcano was my project for the big end-of-the-year Science Fair, which was scheduled for that Friday. I had been working on it for over a week now, and it was going to be big time -- a great-looking volcano that would really erupt when it was finished. I needed to add one more layer of papier-mache before I could start painting it.
"Hey, kids!" I yelled as Mom headed out of the driveway. "Wanna make pooper mucky?" ("Pooper mucky" is what the Things called papier-mache.)
"Yay for Roddie!" cried Little Thing One, who loved gooping around with the stuff.
Little Thing Two started to clap.
"Okay, you two get the tub. I'll meet you in my room."
It was one of those hot days that sometimes surprise you in early May, so I opened my windows and put on a pair of shorts. After spreading some papers on the floor to protect it from the goop we were about to make, I went to look at the volcano, which stood on a card table in the corner of the room. It was nearly two and a half feet high, built on a four-foot by four-foot square of plywood I had found in the basement. I was really proud of it.
The Things lugged in the tub we used for making papier-mache, and we dumped in some torn up paper left from the last time we had done this. Then I poured in water and paste, and we started squeezing it with our hands to get that nice oozy goop that is so much fun to work with. When it was pretty much ready, I went back to the volcano to see where I wanted to start working. Suddenly I heard a tearing sound. Before I could turn to see what had caused it, a dollop of papier-mache smacked against the back of my bare leg.
"Wow!" cried Little Thing One.
"Holy macaroni!" cried Little Thing Two.
I spun around.
The first thing I saw was a big hole in the window screen.
The next thing I saw was globs of papier-mache spattered all over the room, including a big splotch on Thing One's face.
The third thing I saw was a round spaceship about a foot across that had landed in my vat of papier-mache. I thought it must be a toy -- until a blue glow began to crackle and sizzle around it. You could smell the electricity.
I revised my opinion. This thing was real!
The crackle continued. Just as I was wondering if the ship was going to explode, it started to grow.
Within seconds it was three feet long. I wondered if it was going to get so big it would blow our house to smithereens. But suddenly the crackling electric glow began to sputter. The ship shrank back to two feet, grew a bit, then shrank again. A moment later the crackling stopped.
The electric glow disappeared.
The spaceship held steady at about two feet.
Thing One and Thing Two had been edging closer to me while all this was going on. Now I had one of them clinging to each hand.
We waited, holding our breath.
Everything was silent.
We stepped forward, then stopped as a door opened in the side of the ship.

I chose this book thinking,"well, it's something to read" But it ended up being a great page-turner! I was kind of expecting this book to be a little unsatisfying because it's not really the style of books that I normally read, but it ended up being really good. I only had a problem with the ending, It felt as though something was missing, or as though the author was trying to fit the information on one page. Though the ending was a bit of a bust, throughout the book was good. When Rod was just a child, he told a lie and hated it, so he never lies. Then the aliens come and he has to decide whether to lie, or to get sent to space prison. The boy who has bullied him ever since he showed up to school has a secret though. He's the reason the aliens are here! He feels no empathy, that is the worst crime of all! It is a nice, silly book that includes two cute little children who refer to themselves as "Thing 1" and "Thing 2". I surely recommend it to anyone who is in the mood for something fun and cute. You won't be sorry!
I read this book 3 times (from our towns public library) and think its pretty good. I only wish it wasnt as expensive on the nook. I can get it for free from the public library!
Aliens Ate My Homework by Bruce Covillenis a Comedy and I would say suspenseful novel. The story is about a young man name Rod Allbright who has been visited my by a group of small Aliens who requested his help to help find and capture a alien criminal who is living amoung the humans. On the night that the aliens came to Rod, He had to complete a very important project that he was required to hand in the next day but the alien Grakker happened to beam it with his ray gun causing the project to become destroyed. With telling his teacher that the aliens ate his homework, she didn't believe him because she didn't believe in aliens and she thought that he was lying to her about actually doing the homework. The aliens also realized that the boy Billy who ocassionally bullied Rod was the real space alien who came and migrated to the Earth as a young Child.
This is a suprising book you never know what will happen next.
My favorite aspect of the story is the characters. I like how the relationship changed between the aliens and Rod. My favorite aspect of the story is when the aliens drafted Rod and made him help them. Rod is a honest boy; he never tell a lie. When the aliens came and ate his homework, Rod had no other choice but to tell the truth. Everyone thought he is crazy. The novel also contain caring friendship between aliens and Rod. Aliens Ate My Homework is a very interesting novel which is great for anyone who is interested in aliens and science fiction. Aliens Ate My Homework is an exciting story about a boy being drafted by aliens and forced to help them.
Aliens Ate My Homework was a exciting and intriguing story. At the end of every chapter their is a cliffhanger so the reader can't stop reading after 6 or 7 chapters. A 7th grader named Rod Allbrite is the main character in this story. One day, he is doing his homework and all of a sudden a spaceship crashed through his bedroom window, but the window and the spaceship are the least of his problems. Rod and the 5 aliens from the spaceship go on to look for the biggest criminal from all of the galaxies, but Rod got in a little more trubble then he expected to. I recmmend this to anyone who likes exciting and funny stories.

About Me
My name is Josiah Haller. I moved to my current school in the fall of 2005. Before that, I never had marching band and my concert band was horrible. When I moved here, I began marching band and I realized the potential I had in concert band. After two years in both, I have learned so much and have begun to consider a career in music.
Our concert band went to state contest this year and received a II. It was very close, but we are happy. I am trying out for field commander(drum major) for the fall of 2007. I just had my interview with the director and I think that went well. The scariest part is trying to conduct the song next week. I am trying my best but I am not sure of what the outcome will be. I really enjoy music and love playing my saxophone and piano.
I love music and playing video games. I also like to write music and lyrics.

I have been working at Fidelity Investments full-time (More than 5 years)
Great perks. In terms of bonus, profit sharing, 401(k) match, health and insurance benefits. If you are good management usually goes at length to keep you happy and retain you. Does respect work life balance.
Bit of bureaucracy and personal interests make environment little rigid in terms of work and future roadmaps. Since a big part of salaries ( specially from senior levels) are tied to bonuses, focus changes from overall team goal to personal goals and marketing, making environment unpleasant. If you are a technical personal specially earlier in your career and want to grow technically, this might not be the right place to start.
Advice to Management
Continue what you are doing to retain good employees. Please reduce bureaucracy and come up with better ways to retain your technical staff.
I worked at Fidelity Investments full-time (More than 3 years)
the benefits were great. 401k matching was high and the tuition reimbursement was generous as well.
you felt like a tiny cog inside a giant machine. it felt like you didn't matter and they did little to help you advance your career. This felt very shortsighted and made it not a very enjoyable work experience.
Advice to Management
make your employees feel like they have a mission besides making money for the company.

I worked at Fidelity Investments full-time (More than 8 years)
Great 401k matching, year-end bonus & shares. Good health benefits. Some quality people still work there.
Comparatively low salary, unless you come in at a certain level. I was at Fidelity for several years -- in the beginning I was excited to be there, and I got great reviews and I moved up, and I did meet some really good people, so I thought there was a future there for me. But after seeing behind the curtain and realizing every part of the business was messed up, I jumped ship when the opportunity presented itself.
In every business unit I was in, I saw a shocking lack of leadership. Projects are started and stopped in a haphazard, wasteful way based on whichever direction the political wind is blowing. Projects take years to complete when they shouldn't, and sometimes things launch and then they are immediately discarded. Or subpar work -- the standards, when you are talking about technology or communications or design, are way too low for a company of this size and reputation -- is allowed to launch and is weirdly celebrated. The website is terrible, and the technology at Fidelity is frighteningly behind, yet they spend billions on it every year.
Many VPs (and there are oh-so-many) are afraid to say what they think, so naturally everyone underneath them is. People who move slowly and don't make waves are rewarded. People who suggest new ways to approach things are often viewed as threatening by people who have been sitting comfortably in their roosts for too long. Very little actual work gets done and I think Fidelity customers would be shocked to see how much money is wasted by this company on people who are paid way too much for producing way too little by the end of the year. Typically you'll see a business unit with a couple of overworked worker bees and several VPs who go to a lot of meetings but don't do much except talk at each other in meetings and try to figure out how to work the politics.
HR is obsessed with the upper echelon of management, and could care less about the employees. They'll drive themselves crazy over how some memo looks to Executive A or all the SVPs and meanwhile they put very little forethought into a relocation strategy that affects thousands of employees and will bite them in the long run. For example, how many future genius fixed income portfolio managers will sign up to work in Merrimack, New Hampshire when they can go to the competitors in New York or London? And how many dollars is this firm saving by outsourcing HTML work to India when the work takes three times as long to be completed because every single piece of it must be explained, checked, and then checked and requested three more times until it is correct (and each round takes 2 weeks)?
The word on the street is with the up-and-coming leadership regime, it's all about the yes-men, and there's no heart there. Some of the old benefits have already disappeared, and most of the people in the know expect that when the Chairman retires, his successor wants to get rid of things like the long-loved employee shares. Believe me, this will happen.
This company loves layers, and insecure management lets incompetence reign in those layers -- especially directors and VPs -- because they can manipulate those employees or because they're too afraid to fire people who are in over their heads. Management and HR love to market to themselves internally.
Yet Fidelity will continue to make money in spite of this because it has reached a certain size in the marketplace. When I left, I took my money with me because after seeing how the sausage is made, this really isn't the best place to put your money. (Unless you are a high net-worth customer, they push you into the Freedom Funds, which are consistent underperformers.)
It's sad, because from what I understand from people who were there for a really long time, it used to be a really great company. This sentiment is heard around the firm, but I know a lot of people are afraid to leave because they're shackled to the benefits.
Life is short -- there are a lot of companies out there. If you're not overly committed to your kids' private schools or college tuitions, get the heck out while you still can. There is a world outside Fidelity.
Advice to Management
I was at Fidelity for more than 8 years. I've seen enough to know that management there only listens to themselves, so it's pointless to give them advice.

Spoon Full
"It's liquid Thanksgiving dinner," says Creekside Restaurant & Bar General Manager Mark Murray. That's how he describes the Thanksgiving Dinner Soup ($2.75, cup; $3.75, bowl) he makes in a single 8- to 10-gallon batch once a year on the Monday before Thanksgiving. Murray, who's in the kitchen two to three times a week making soup, crafted the meal-in-a-bowl creation three years ago as a twist on the standard turkey dumpling soup. He incorporates every flavor from the dinner table: cream of turkey thick like gravy, a mirepoix, sweet potatoes and corn. Then it's garnished with cranberry raisins and a flash-fried ball of stuffing that breaks apart like a crouton in french onion soup. "The only thing not in there is pumpkin pie," Murray says.8803 Brecksville Road, Brecksville, 440-546-0555, creeksiderestaurant.com

Whether you need us to design a new custom product from scratch or help you solve an unexpected challenge, at DUNMORE Aerospace we stand ready to go...Above and Beyond.
Multi Layer Insulation (MLI) Applications
DUNMORE Aerospace STARcrest™ multilayer films, with engineered absorptance and emittance properties, are used in the manufacture of MLI insulation blankets for passive thermal control systems.

Today's spacecraft and satellites see a multitude of temperature fluctuations that can range from lows of -100°C to highs of +150°C (-150°F to +300°F), depending the spacecraft's orbit. This can be Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) or Interplanetary Orbit.
Orbiting in the shade of earth or the spacecraft's own shadow can pose a challenge in keeping the vessel stable in the rigors of space. The craft can swing quickly to the cold side (typically -125°C / -195°F) when in the shadows. Alternatively, the spacecraft can see extremely high temperatures, typically +150°C (+300°F), when exposed to the sun. Furthermore, there is a substantial amount of heat generated from the spacecraft's onboard equipment. Therefore, the spacecraft material must be highly adaptive to protect from both extreme heat and cold. Multi layer insulation blankets (also known as MLI insulation) are ideal to protect the delicate instrumentation in these extreme conditions.
Multi Layer Insulation Design Considerations
Multi layer insulation materials consist of lightweight reflective films assembled in many thin layers. These layers are typically made of polyimide and/or polyester films (according to design, could be from 5 to 30 layers) that are vapor deposited with 99.99% aluminum, on one or both sides. MLI insulation blankets often include a spacer material and metallized film that has been perforated. The multilayer films assist in the material's heat management by reducing incident energy with each successive layer.
As it is very difficult to design an MLI insulation blanket that reflects 100% of incident radiation, a multilayer film design can range from a few simple layers to a complex array of blankets that completely surround the spacecraft and many of its external components. The designs of these layers typically reflect 95% of radiation back away from the Spacecraft. The total effect by the time the radiation energy makes its way to the innermost layers is a 100% reflective barrier.
Multi Layer Insulation Maintains Operational Temperatures
Ideally, temperatures which are most desired for a spacecraft to operate at maximum capacity is between -23°C to +40°C (-70°F to +107°F). This is accomplished by using MLI insulation materials that will work for both active as well as passive systems. Active systems can be best described as energy sources such as battery powered heaters, which work to keep the spacecraft at nominal temperatures (+70°F) during cold cycles. Passive systems are best described as using engineered materials, as are found in MLI blankets and offer radiation heat barriers to retard and control the flow of energy.
MLI Insulation Critical Factors
The terms absorption and emittance are two critical factors in the design and effectiveness of a multi layer insulation system. Absorptance is a material's ability to reflect solar energy. Typically, a material that has low solar absorptance will have high reflective properties, such as a mirror that deflects heat (solar energy) away from the spacecraft. Depending on the requirements, various levels of solar absorptance can be achieved. DUNMORE's multilayer insulation films are specifically designed for these applications. Vacuum Deposited Aluminum (VDA) is the most commonly used coating as it offers low absorptance and emittance properties at an affordable cost. Emittance is a material's ability to radiate energy in the form of heat. Similar to a hot coal, once the energy source (in this instance - fire) is removed, the coal continues to emit heat. MLI insulation materials with high emittance will radiate heat long after the Spacecraft is out of the sun's exposure. By design, both Absorptance and Emittance properties can be configured to control the temperature of the spacecraft surfaces.

ITV appealed today to be released from advertising sale restrictions it says have locked it into a "ratings rat race" at the expense of quality programmes.
Chief executive Adam Crozier said the contracts rights renewal (CRR) rules were out of date and had resulted in a "remarkable lack of diversity" on screen.
Airing another episode of a soap was preferable to investing in quality new drama because of the system, he said, promising higher-quality shows if it was axed.
CRR was introduced to protect advertisers from the firm's dominant position when Carlton and Granada merged to form ITV in 2003.
It cuts the amount advertisers have to pay if ITV1's audience shrinks, which has hit ITV hard in recent years, adding to an already depressed ad market.
In May, the Competition Commission rejected ITV's bid to have CRR lifted, saying it believed the broadcaster had overstated the cost and distortions imposed by the mechanism.
Giving evidence to the House of Lords communications committee Mr Crozier said advertising revenue had fallen 22% since CRR was introduced - directly affecting programme quality.
He said the firm wanted to generate new British programmes - and sell them abroad - but was hamstring from doing so by restrictions that bore no relation to today's market.
There was now "a remarkable lack of diversity compared to then simply because of the way the market works", he said - an unintended consequence of the original deal.
ITV chairman Archie Norman, a former Tory MP, told the peers: "We want ITV to become a global business, selling UK content around the world."
But CRR "drives us towards the lowest common denominator all the time" because that is where the biggest advertising revenues can be made.
"We need to be able to move away from the ratings rat race," he said.

Copper is an essential trace element that plays a fundamental role in the biochemistry of aerobic organisms. The long-term objective of these studies is to elucidate the biological roles of copper in human nutrition. Copper has a critical role in early human development, as evidenced by patients with Menkes disease, a fatal neurodegenerative disorder of childhood resulting from loss of function of a copper transport P-type Atpase. Despite the considerable clinical and experimental data indicating a role for copper in early embryonic development, the mechanisms and timing of the critical events affected by copper remain poorly understood, as experimental systems to elucidate the role of specific nutrients in early embryonic development are limited. The studies in this proposal are intended to utilize the zebrafish, Danio rerio, as a model organism to elucidate the role of copper in early development and to define the cellular and molecular determinants critical to this process. The precise molecular phenotype of copper deficiency in the developing zebrafish will be determined following treatment of embryos with a small molecule that interferes with copper delivery to the developing blastoderm. Specific genes involved in copper homeostasis and function that are critical for prenatal development will be identified by cloning and characterizing the copper phenotype mutants pinky and calamity and by performing a forward genetic screen for novel genes involved in embryonic copper metabolism. Finally, information derived from these studies will be utilized to develop novel therapeutic approaches for patients with Menkes disease by developing a fish model of this disease and performing a high-throughput chemical genomic screen to identify small molecules that will rescue the phenotype of the affected mutants. Taken together, the results of these studies will permit new insights into the role of copper in prenatal development and may allow for the discovery of novel therapeutic approaches to the prevention and treatment of birth defects arising from impaired copper homeostasis. In terms of
, recent data indicate that structural birth defects may arise from impaired nutrition during human development, offering the possibility that the incidence of these disorders might be reduced by maternal dietary modification. This work will increase our understanding of the role of nutrition in human fetal development and provide new insights into the complex interplay of nutrition and genetics in the causation of human congenital malformations.
