. But I want to enjoy my lesson with a lot of students .
🌆 How do I improve my Japanese in Camano Island, WA and what are my options in terms of commitment?
Besides self-study with special programs, you have four principal choices for learning Japanese interactively in Camano Island, WA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, check centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your second resource can be local private language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. 4th and last, you can opt for a private Japanese tutor in Camano Island, WA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Camano Island, WA and online Japanese tutors.
🎟 Is it affordable to learn Japanese and what does a lesson with a tutor of Japanese cost?
For university and college courses you can estimate Japanese course cost by dividing annual tuition by 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for about 50 class hours each semester. Language schools and private Japanese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the better priced Japanese tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 18 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, positive reviews and specialization. Average student satisfaction for Japanese lessons on Preply is 4.9 out of 5 stars.
📚 What level of Japanese do I need to sign up for a course?
When considering college and learning center classes be prepared to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. Canned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and graded tasks, so research the details in advance. With personal Japanese tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.
🔥 Why is Japanese so challenging and are there ways to learn it in a better way?
One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Japanese. As proven by others before, you can gain basic Japanese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback 5 hours a week you will be able to understand most words, have simple conversations, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Japanese. After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Japanese tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.
🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Japanese?
Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Japanese will require at least 600 hours of practice. The required duration of time can differ a lot depending on your current level of Japanese or proficiency in other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, write using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Japanese out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.
🤳 Can I pick my own Japanese tutor?
In language centers, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, always! The largest selection of tested Japanese tutors with full profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.
🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?
Colleges usually schedule classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually have shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.

United States District Court, E.D. Michigan, Southern Division
October 16, 2019
TAMMY WEATHERSPOON, Plaintiff,v.ROCK CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC., Defendant.
Tammy Weatherspoon filed a complaint in this Court alleging
that her employer, Rock Construction Company, took adverse
action against her motivated at least in part because of her
race, and that the company retaliated against her when she
complained about it. She brought claims under both federal
and state law. The defendant moved to dismiss the complaint
on several grounds, generally arguing that it does not state
viable claims. Weatherspoon responded, the motion is fully
briefed, and oral argument will not aid the Court in deciding
it. Therefore, it is ordered that the motion be submitted on
the papers. Because the complaint contains ample facts to
support the claims, all of which were filed timely, the
motion will be denied.
defendant filed its motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Therefore, the facts recited below
are stated as they have been alleged in the complaint.
Keys v. Humana, Inc., 684 F.3d 605, 608 (6th Cir.
plaintiff, a 52-year-old African-American woman, began
working for the defendant in February 2015 as a Leasing
Professional at the Legends Rosewood Village Community, which
is a residential complex operated by the defendant in
Pittsfield Township, Michigan. She was paid $14 per hour plus
benefits. Some of the units in the complex were
owner-occupied and others were rental units. Weatherspoon
reported to Beverly List, who is a white female and the
Community Manager of the Rosewood Village facility.
initially was hired to work no more than 30 hours per week,
but after two months List had expanded Weatherspoon's
role to include some "managerial duties, " and
she "routinely worked 40 hours or more per week."
Compl. ¶ 12, ECF No. 1, PageID.3. When she was hired,
Weatherspoon was told by Amy Timbers, who was the
defendant's Director of Property Management, that she
would be considered for any prospective management jobs that
might open up when the defendant acquired new properties.
says that within the first six months of her employment, she
experienced several incidents of racist conduct by List. In
the first incident, sometime in the summer of 2015, List
"read aloud" from a written complaint by a
property owner, quoting a portion where the owner stated that
there were "too many thugs and people of color"
moving into the Riverwood complex. Weatherspoon perceived
that the exhibition of reading from the letter was "an
obvious attempt to embarrass" her. Compl. ¶ 15,
ECF No. 1, PageID.3.
In the
second incident, which occurred on an unspecified date, but
apparently still in the summer of 2015, List was reviewing an
application for purchase of a unit, which was submitted by a
young woman of color, who indicated on her application that
she held a graduate degree and a teaching position at the
University of Michigan. The applicant also represented that
her mother, who co-signed the application, had an income of
$50, 000 per year. List commented that she "did not
believe" that the applicant's mother had such a
substantial income, and Weatherspoon replied, "You
don't believe her because she is a person of
color." List "did not deny that the person's
race motivated [the] comment." However, Weatherspoon
searched for the applicant's mother on Google and
confirmed that she was "a person of means." After
the applicant moved into the complex, she reported to List
that she was being "harassed" by "white
unit owners, " but List did nothing about the
harassment. Id. ¶ 16, PageID.3-4.
in August 2015, List gave Weatherspoon a "gift
bag" that contained a scarf, a wallet, and a toy
monkey. List told Weatherspoon when she gave her the gifts
that the monkey "reminded List of Weatherspoon."
Id. ¶ 17, PageID.4.
was especially emotionally hurt by the final incident, and in
late August or September 2015, she called the head of the
defendant's Human Resources Department and complained
about List's racist behavior and comments. Weatherspoon
was told that the incidents she reported would be
investigated. After several days, she spoke again with the HR
representative, but was told that the HR department
"can't go into detail about reprimanding
List." However, shortly later Weatherspoon saw a letter
of reprimand addressed to List which had been left in the
open in the office - Weatherspoon believed because List
wanted her to see it. List spoke to Weatherspoon later and
said to her, "We need to talk . . . . I just did some
of this stuff because I'm the CEO of the property and I
should act like it." Weatherspoon then said, "I
am sick over the monkey incident." List did not
apologize but stated "Are we good?" Compl.
¶¶ 19-22, ECF No. 1, PageID.4-5.
three or four days after that conversation, List gave
Weatherspoon a "new schedule" and informed her
that her hours had been reduced from 40 hours per week to 12
hours per week. Weatherspoon immediately called the HR
representative to "complain bitterly" about the
schedule change, but it was not rescinded. Instead, later in
the same day List and the HR officer called Weatherspoon at
home; and the HR representative stated, "Beverly
wasn't supposed to cut your hours - next time you want
your hours cut it has to go through me." Weatherspoon
objected and said that List was lying and that she had never
asked for her hours to be reduced, but the schedule change
still was not reversed, and her full-time hours were not
restored. Weatherspoon suffered with the reduced schedule for
several more weeks, but she was unable to support herself on
the reduced income, and eventually resigned in October 2015.
plaintiff filed her complaint in this case on September 30,
2018. In Counts I and II she pleaded claims of race-based
discrimination under 42 U.S.C. § 1981 and Michigan's
Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA), respectively. Counts
III and IV plead claims for retaliation under state and
federal law based on the reduction of the plaintiff's
work schedule following her complaints to Human Resource
representatives about the alleged discrimination.
defendant argues that the plaintiff's discrimination
claims under both federal and state law all are
insufficiently pleaded, principally because she failed to
allege that she was treated differently than any similarly
situated member outside her protected class, and because the
allegations of three racist comments over the course of
several months are not sufficient as a matter of law to
establish severe or pervasive conduct to support any claim on
a hostile work environment theory. The defendant also
contends that it cannot be held liable for the alleged racist
behavior because it took "corrective action" by
issuing a letter of reprimand. The defendant also asserts
that the reduction of hours cannot comprise a
"constructive discharge" for the purposes of the

America, throughout her history has been lauded as the land of the free and the home of the brave. Unfortunately for many, life has not been so free here. As followers of Christ we must acknowledge the racial tension that exists within our country and work alongside our brothers and sisters of all races and colors to extinguish racism from sea to shining sea. We wanted to share an article with you written by Milton Hollifield, Executive Director for the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina. This article details how we, as Christ followers should respond the racial inequality that exists in our country today.

How would you prevent someone boarding from the San Francisco to Narita, staying a couple of days in Tokio and flying to New Zealand? With a forced quarantine in each stopover?
You'd see that they'd come from SFO originally and not allow them to board the NZ flight at Narita. Or at least require x weeks quarantine and two negative Covid19 tests, or whatever conditions you want to impose, before they can continue to NZ.
You seen to be ignoring the creativity of some people. Someone could buy a ticket on Delta Airlines SFO - NRT and a separate ticket for next day on Air NZ NRT - AKL. Unless the Japanese keep tight control of entries and exits on our behalf we would have to make sure NZ Immigration systems could track a passenger's travel even on different routes before jumping on the last leg of the trip.
Do you think any country's systems are there yet?
The way around would to only allow people on non-NZ passports to fly in if they have evidence of a 14 day quarantine on the last leg of the trip before flying to NZ and even so I wouldn't trust an American coming to NZ to be virus-free.

Sad tbey learnt it the hard way and hope he doesnt have any serious ilness.
Jimmy Cliff reacted to a post in a topic: How serious is the coronavirus threat in India?
It's very serious here, The number of tests done so far is still in the range of 6000s which is never going to reveal the true picture. I certainly don't believe there isnt a single case identified in the states like Gujarat, MP, Bengal and only one in AP. How many tests are done there. Also, our test criteria is also not going to show us true numbers. I appreciate that the govt didnt make drastic measures all at once and going just step by step to avoid total panic but I'm afraid we are already past the point where the slow but steady precaustions contain and slowdown the virus. We should have taken all these Travel restriction, school closures, public gathering ban in the current pace by Feb, where cases starts to come out in European/USA countries not now where the cases have been exploding there. Media are saying we are st Stage 2 of pandemic and shoud work hard to avoid Stage 3 (Some even claiming we still have 30 DAYS to fight it so it wont go to STage 3!). But in reality, we may very well be at the peak of Stage 3 and its just matter of weeks if not days, we'd see the true face of it. But what I'm afraid is lot of cases/deaths would go unnoticed and hence wont be put under CoronaVirus' account and majority of them gonna be elder people so they'd be put under natual causes accout.

Sonix768 replied to Cricketics's topic in Chit ChatIndian numbers wont change a lot if we are going to continue the rate of our current testing and that would lead us to a false sense of security which would be catastrophe. So far, we have done what, may be 7000 tests overall, which some countries arw doing in a daily basis. 100+ cases for 7000 tests, is not a safer number. Hope we speed up the testing.

Shankar and DK (WC19)
Sonix768 replied to zen's topic in Cricket TalkYeah.. I don't know the rationale behind playing DK almost directly in the semis. They had been grooming Jadhav for over a year in the mid order only to drop him after one bad game to divert the animosity of the public from Dhoni to him. If TM wanted DK to bat in semis, they could have sent him up the order in Bang and SL match to get him some game time, instead of the same top 3 hogging 90% overs. And he wasn't even in the previous ODI series vs Aus as well. Knowing DK's limitations, expecting him to deliver in a crunch situation almost from the beginning of the innings would always end in disaster. Can't believe no one from TM saw this. Guess TM was in full panic mode since Afghan match. They muddled up the mid order and bowling combination ever since and settled with crap team in semis.
Your ODI squad for WI tour?
Sonix768 replied to SecondSlip's topic in Cricket TalkIl ike many of the squads posted here but I am fully expecting to see Jadav, Dhoni, DK again in one of the T20/ODI squad, if not in the starting 11

The Honda Fit has been given a total redesign for 2015. The new Fit gets not just a new exterior and interior, but also a new engine and new transmission options as well
All 2015 Fits are powered by a new 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that makes 130hp. There are two available transmissions, a 6-speed manual or a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Power is sent to the front wheels and while nobody would accuse the Fit of being a sports car, acceleration is peppy, reflecting an increase in power over last year's model. Fuel economy is stellar, particularly with the CVT transmission.
The Fit comes in three different trim levels: LX, EX and EX-L. Base LX trimmed Fits come with plenty of standard features including Bluetooth connectivity, air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, automatic headlights, a tilting and telescoping steering wheel, a 160-watt AM/FM/CD player, a 5-inch color screen, a USB port and an audio input jack for MP3 players.
EX trimmed Fits come equipped with a smart entry system, fog lamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, hands-free text messaging, push button start, a 180-watt display type audio system with a 7-inch screen, an HDMI port, Pandora internet radio compatibility and a 1-touch power moonroof with tilt functionality.
The top of the line EX-L comes standard with the CVT transmission and features a leather wrapped interior, which is a first for the Honda Fit. In addition to the leather seating surfaces, the Fit EX-L comes with a leather wrapped steering wheel, heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals, as well as heated front seats. The EX-L is also available with a navigation system, a feature which adds SiriusXM and HD radio.
Safety features are standard across all trim levels for the Fit, so even base LX models benefit from the whole host of safety devices available for the car. Airbags include front, multiple threshold airbags, side airbags and side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor. Anti-lock brakes, traction control and stability control are all included along with brake assist and a tire pressure monitoring system.

MUHAMMAD ALI. by Jonah Winter & illustrated by François Roca. Roca's beautiful poster-like oils are built on strong horizontal and vertical lines, the light shining on Ali emphasizing his status as Chosen One. Playful typography allows highlighted words to pop off the page, visual punches to underscore Ali's determination and personality. A prefatory note gives readers some background and prepares them for the presentation to come. As hagiography goes, it doesn't come any more unabashed than this-or more effective.

Enforcement of this Act by the Painter-Stainers Company was sought up until the early 19th century, with master painters gathering irregularly to decide the fees that a journeyman could charge, and also instigating an early version of a job centre in 1769, advertising in the London newspapers a "house of call" system to advertise for journeymen and also for journeymen to advertise for work. The guild's power in setting the fee a journeyman could charge was eventually overturned by law in 1827, and the period after this saw the guild's power diminish, along with that of the other guilds; the guilds were superseded by trade unions, with the Operative United Painters' Union forming sometime around 1831.[2] Westminster House Painters CO
The rule of thumb has always been to apply a good coat of primer, sand, then apply your color coats. This is still a good rule to follow, but new paint technologies have combined primer and paint into one product, which manufacturers assert will cut down on the number of coats you will have to apply. This newer paint is more expensive, but may be comparable to the purchase of separate primer and paint. Look at reviews of these newer paints, particular from folks that have used it in your area.
First, if you need it, we have it — all the paint for your home — every color you can imagine, in the finish you need for every surface. Second, we' can help narrow down your choices until you decide on the right paint for your project. Plus, you can reap the benefits of Behr Marquee paint, a Home Depot exclusive. It dries in one hour, only takes one coat. It's easy to clean and resists dirt and mildew. Of course, our paint associates at your local store can help pick our paint for your home. Pick up some paint swatches or order paint samples online so you can picture what it will look like. Westminster House Painting

We'd like to ask for your collaboration in continuing regular meeting cadences via phone and online tools, if possible.

Purchase surety bonds. Surety bonds essentially act as a kind of agreement between the contractor and the person hiring them that the job will be performed to standard. You can obtain these through your current insurer as a separate form of financial protection. As a contractor, many states require you to be bonded before you can begin working legally.[16]
Painters often tint primer close to the color of the top coat, but Wallis thinks that's a recipe for "holidays," or missed spots. Instead, he tints his primer a contrasting color. "If I can see the color coming through, I know I need to apply more paint," he says. On the cottage shown in this story, he chose a gray-blue primer to go under a peach top coat.

In England, little is known of the trade and its structures before the late 13th century, at which paint guilds began to form, amongst them the Painters Company and the Stainers Company. These two guilds eventually merged with the consent of the Lord Mayor of the City of London in 1502, forming the Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers. The guild standardised the craft and acted as a protector of the trade secrets. In 1599, the guild asked Parliament for protection, which was eventually granted in a bill of 1606, which granted the trade protection from outside competition such as plasterers.[2] Westminster House Painting
When the primer is dry, caulk all small joints (less than ¼-inch-wide) in the siding and trim. Most pros use siliconized acrylics—paint won't stick to straight silicones—but Guertin and O'Neil like the new, more expensive urethane acrylics for their greater flexibility and longevity. O'Neil stresses that it's shortsighted to skimp on caulk. "If the joint fails, you're back to square one." Guertin uses the lifetime rating as his quality guide. "I don't expect 35-year caulk will last 35 years, but it should last longer than a 15-year caulk."
A single gallon of paint can run anywhere from $20 to $80 per gallon. Professionals get a contractor discount of anywhere from 25 to 50 percent. For rough siding, like stucco, you'll need to use 10 to 20 percent more paint. Some textures, like wood and stucco, require extra paint because they have more surface to cover in a tiny area comparied to smooth siding. . Use the highest quality exterior paint your budget will allow for your project. It will look the nicest and save you money by offering better coverage and durability. Better coverage means fewer coats and fewer work hours. You'll also go a few years longer without needing to shell out more cash for a new coat. How do you know how much paint you're paying for? Here's some helpful math: Westminster Home Painting
The color scheme that is chosen for the home creates the initial impression that an individual has of the premises as a whole. Whether complimentary or unflattering colors are selected, the house will gain an identity of its own when the paint is applied. There are many times that a homeowner misses opportunities to accentuate positive attributes that the home has to offer by failing to choose the best exterior paint colors.

In Jesus' teaching this Sunday we hear "Anyone who finds his life will lose it."[1] These can sound harsh words! Not many of us want to lose our lives in the sense of becoming a nobody, a person who is not thought well of, someone who is not worth passing the time of day with…
But Jesus goes on – "Anyone who loses his life for my sake will find it."[2] That is the crux. "The Christian life is not just a matter of bringing Jesus into my life; it is also a matter of Jesus opening the doors into HIS LIFE."[3] And we know only too well that Jesus definitely did lay down his life, not only in his Passion and Death but also in the everyday circumstances of his life. Why should we be any different if we claim to be his followers?
"But before you become a little uneasy remember that the overall effect of the following of Jesus is positive, it calls for self-sacrifice as a way to fuller life."[4]
A life that goes on beyond this life – life eternal. It is so easy to plant oneself into this life, getting distracted by so many things. Indeed, we can become like Martha. "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."[5]
Yes, we have to sit at the feet of Jesus in times of prayer. Then we are able to face the challenges of laying down our lives in our good works! And what a reward we shall get – "the things that no eye has seen and no ear has heard, things beyond the mind of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him."[6]
I think that is worth laying down one's life!

Biutiful By The Lake is located on the shore of Floreasca Lake and is designed as a hanging garden over the water, which perfectly harmonizes with its surroundings. In this regard, its designer MihaiPopescu chose to create a minimalist design, allowing the nature to play its part as well. Since the place is strongly connected to water, MihaiPopescu preponderantly used water-related elements, whether we refer to the overturned boat above the central bar which ushers us to an upside down world, like a Noah's Ark gathering various human types, or to the fish swimming in the air like industrial objects with a clean geometry.
The ceiling and the horizontal lateral shutters are retractable and release the view to the water, but also serve as a shelter against the water currents coming from the lake. Both the ceiling and the windows are opened manually and they are especially made for this location.
The interior is furnished with pieces signed by Patricia Urquiola, Philippe Stark, Ronan &ErwanBouroullec, but also with furniture pieces created by MihaiPopescu in his Twins Studio atelier. One of them, which can be found in other places signed by the designer, is the Achille library, which is a discreet piece, almost invisible, but, if taken out of place, the whole ambience becomes unbalanced. As far as handmade or limited series objects are concerned, the floor in front of the central bar is made out of ceramic handmade in Manchester.
The true challenge came when the restaurant had to be effectively built, for its location in the park did not allow the usage of cranes. The entire construction was designed as a genuine Meccano game, where every element was designed, projected, produced and lifted with bare hands.
Biutiful By The Lake is the project signed by the designer Mihai Popescu, together with its architecture atelier, Twins Studio, which won the Big Prize of Restaurant & Bar Design Awards, in 2015, at UK & International Category.

The world's economy has seen a dramatic shift in its centre of gravity in recent years. The auto industry has been at the forefront of developments - typified by the collapse of the US vehicle market and the untrammelled growth of China's, making it the world's biggest. But we could be about to see the pendulum shift, ever so slightly, the other way.

Some 85% of online marketers admit their email marketing campaigns fail to exploit the customer data they hold – with only 20% of them using basic personalisation techniques to tailor their communications.
That is one of the stark findings of a global study, carried out by Emailvision at the tail end of 2011, which shows that although email is now more important to their overall marketing strategy
than two years ago, targeting opportunities are being
The research appears to back Silverpop's annual Top 100 Retailers Study, which claimed online retailers could be missing out on millions of pounds worth of business by failing to follow the basic rules of email marketing – including following up cart abandonment and keeping in regular contact.
The Emailvision study adds that while email persists as a strong, high-ROI channel, there is a clear understanding by marketers that customer data remains an untapped source of opportunity for their online marketing.
The full findings include:
97% of responders believe that sending well-targeted, personalised emails is an "important" or "very important" factor in achieving the best response rates
Only 55% of responders said they were satisfied with their ability to segment and target their customers by basic demographic data, purchase behaviour, relationship to the brand or response rates
Only 20% of those questioned said they were personalising all of the emails they send
More than 85% of marketers recognise they are not fully utilising the available customer data provided by their email-based campaigns.
Tim Watson, an email marketing specialist and board member with the UK DMA, said, "Most online marketing managers are not using the full range of available data to maximize the effectiveness of their messages, but the good news is that marketers clearly understand the importance of data in email marketing. With visibility and actionable data, marketers know they have a tremendous opportunity in 2012 to take their email marketing to the next level."
The research was conducted in November 2011. 700 organisations from 10 countries (UK, US, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Scandinavia and Switzerland) were surveyed.

Evidence Shows Warming Climate Will Worsen Malaria Epidemic
Researchers have debated for more than two decades the likely impacts, if any, of global warming on the worldwide incidence of malaria, a mosquito-borne disease that infects more than 300 million people each year.
Now, University of Michigan ecologists and their colleagues are reporting the first hard evidence that malaria does—as had long been predicted—creep to higher elevations during warmer years and back down to lower altitudes when temperatures cool.
The study, based on an analysis of records from highland regions of Ethiopia and Colombia, suggests that future climate warming will result in a significant increase in malaria cases in densely populated regions of Africa and South America, unless disease monitoring and control efforts are boosted and sustained.
"We saw an upward expansion of malaria cases to higher altitudes in warmer years, which is a clear signal of a response by highland malaria to changes in climate," said University of Michigan theoretical ecologist Mercedes Pascual, senior author of a paper scheduled for online publication in Science.
"This is indisputable evidence of a climate effect," said Pascual. "The main implication is that with warmer temperatures, we expect to see a higher number of people exposed to the risk of malaria in tropical highland areas like these."
More than 20 years ago, malaria was identified as a disease expected to be especially sensitive to climate change, because both the Plasmodium parasites that cause it and the Anopheles mosquitoes that spread it thrive as temperatures warm.
Some early studies concluded that climate change would lead to a big increase in malaria cases as the disease expanded its range into higher elevations, but some of the assumptions behind those predictions were later criticized. More recently, some researchers have argued that improved socioeconomic conditions and more aggressive mosquito-control efforts will likely exert a far greater influence over the extent and intensity of malaria worldwide than climatic factors.
What's been missing in this debate has been an analysis of regional records with sufficient resolution to determine how the spatial distribution of malaria cases has changed in response to year-to-year temperature variations, especially in countries of East Africa and South America with densely populated highlands that have historically provided havens from the disease.
Pascual and her colleagues looked for evidence of a changing spatial distribution of malaria with varying temperature in the highlands of Ethiopia and Colombia. They examined malaria case records from the Antioquia region of western Colombia from 1990 to 2005 and from the Debre Zeit area of central Ethiopia from 1993 to 2005.
By focusing solely on the altitudinal response to year-to-year temperature changes, they were able to exclude other variables that can influence malaria case numbers, such as mosquito-control programs, resistance to anti-malarial drugs and fluctuations in rainfall amounts.
They found that the median altitude of malaria cases shifted to higher elevations in warmer years and back to lower elevations in cooler years. The relatively simple analysis yielded a clear, unambiguous signal that can only be explained by temperature changes, they said.
"Our latest research suggests that with progressive global warming, malaria will creep up the mountains and spread to new high-altitude areas," said co-author Menno Bouma, honorary senior clinical lecturer at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. "And because these populations lack protective immunity, they will be particularly vulnerable to severe morbidity and mortality."
In the Debre Zeit region of Ethiopia, at an elevation range of between 5,280 feet and 7,920 feet, about 37 million people (roughly 43 percent of the country's population) live in rural areas at risk of higher malaria exposure under a warming climate.
In a previous study, the researchers estimated that a one degree Celsius temperature increase could result in an additional 3 million malaria cases annually in Ethiopia in the under-15 population, unless control efforts are strengthened.
"Our findings here underscore the size of the problem and emphasize the need for sustained intervention efforts in these regions, especially in Africa," Pascual said.
In addition to Pascual and Bouma, the authors of the Science paper are A.S. Siraj of the University of Denver, M. Santos-Vega of the U of M Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, D. Yadeta of the Oromia Regional Health Bureau in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and D. Ruiz Carrascal of Columbia University.

7 Outdoor Citizen Science Projects to Join This Summer
By Tiffany Means
Summer and fall are great seasons to enjoy the outdoors. But if you're already spending extra time outside because of the COVID-19 pandemic, you may be out of ideas on how to make fresh-air activities feel special. Here are a few suggestions to keep both adults and children entertained and educated in the months ahead, many of which can be done from the comfort of one's home or backyard.
The coronavirus may linger in the air in crowded indoor spaces, spreading from one person to the next, the World Health Organization acknowledged on Thursday, as The New York Times reported. The announcement came just days after 239 scientists wrote a letter urging the WHO to consider that the novel coronavirus is lingering in indoor spaces and infecting people, as EcoWatch reported.

It is undisputed that vitamin D plays a role everywhere in the body and performs important functions. A severe vitamin D deficiency, which can occur at a level of 12 nanograms per milliliter of blood or less, leads to severe and painful bone deformations known as rickets in infants and young children and osteomalacia in adults. Unfortunately, this is where the scientific consensus ends.
Where Does the Deficiency Begin?
Nobody knows exactly how much vitamin D a person actually needs. The question of when a deficiency starts is correspondingly controversial. However, vitamin D is becoming increasingly popular.Not only is the pseudo-scientific literature on the "sun vitamin" experiencing an upswing, but the number of published studies has also increased enormously in recent years. For example, in 2019 a study found that Vitamin D is responsible for keeping the skeleton functional and is associated with cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and various types of cancer.

An All-Rounder
Vitamin D levels in the body rise and fall according to sun exposure. If sufficient UV rays reach the skin, the body is able to produce the vitamin itself. However, the human body only derives an estimated 10 to 20 percent of its daily requirement from food.

The vitamin D that we synthesize from sunlight or food is not biologically active at first. Before the kidneys can produce the biologically active form of the vitamin, known as calcitriol, and release it into the blood, some metabolic processes must take place beforehand.

In addition, many organs have receptors to which the precursor of calcitriol binds. Further, this substance is also present in blood.

From this precursor, the organs then produce calcitriol themselves, which the body then uses for countless other processes in the body. This form of vitamin D thus regulates insulin secretion, inhibits tumor growth, and promotes the formation of red blood cells as well as the survival and activity of macrophages, which are important for the immune system.

Low Vitamin D, Severe COVID-19 Disease?
A research study carried out at the University of Hohenheim has now established a link between vitamin D deficiency, certain previous diseases, and severe cases of COVID-19.

According to the study, "there is a lot of evidence that several non-communicable diseases (high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome) are associated with low vitamin D plasma levels. These comorbidities, together with the often accompanying vitamin D deficiency, increase the risk of severe COVID-19 events."

"This statement is completely correct," said Martin Fassnacht, head of endocrinology at the University Hospital of Würzburg. However, he qualifies that it is a pure association, "i.e. a mere observation that these events occur together.

Dr. Fassnacht is very critical of the hype surrounding vitamin D, but not because he denies the vitamin serves important functions. However, studies on humans have not been able to show that vitamin D has the healing powers many often propagate.

Fassnacht says, "If you take a closer look, the hopes that the administration of vitamin D has a healing effect have not been confirmed so far."

Association Versus Intervention Studies
Many studies on the vitamin are association or observational studies. "By definition, these studies cannot prove the causal relationship, but only point to mere correlations," said Fassnacht. The physician tries to illustrate this with an example:

"Imagine two groups of 80-year-olds. One group is spry, active and does sports. If you compare them with another group living in nursing homes, the difference in vitamin D levels will be dramatic. Life expectancy would also be extremely different."

But to try to explain the difference in fitness by vitamin D status alone is far too simplistic. "Vitamin D levels are a good measure of how sick someone is. But not more," says Fassnacht.

According to Fassnacht, none of the intervention studies carried out to date -- that specifically examined the effect of vitamin D on various diseases -- has been able to confirm the previous association and laboratory studies or the presumed positive effect of vitamin D.

Further Research Is Needed
"If a coronavirus infection is suspected, it is therefore absolutely necessary to check the vitamin D status and quickly correct any possible deficit," said the recommendation of the paper published by the University of Hohenheim.

"Studies are underway to see whether vitamin D helps in COVID-19 infection, but I personally do not believe that this is really the case," says endocrinologist Fassnacht. Nevertheless, he says it is of course useful to carry out these studies.

"I don't want to rule out that there are actually subgroups of people who benefit from an additional vitamin D dose," he says. After all, this has been proven to be the case with a severe deficit.

In view of the study situation, Fassnacht does not think much of preventive, nationwide vitamin D substitutes. "My belief that the vitamin helps somewhere is very low. But, of course, I can be wrong."
