[email protected]_84

China’s economy is revving up as the entirety of the Western World — from Australia to the United States — is either bracing for a ‘dark winter’ or dealing with small business closures by the thousands.

Earlier this month, Dr. Anthony Fauci said SARS 2 death rates could easily surpass 400,000 by March.

According to Yelp, an online review forum for businesses, some 60% of the 163,735 businesses that are on Yelp have closed since March. Nearly 97,9oo of them said they were going out of business, according to a Yelp report in September.

Other data points about the pandemic’s impact on American businesses are more sanguine.

Western diet impairs odor-related learning and olfactory memory in mice — ScienceDaily

[email protected]_84

Problems with the sense of smell appear to be an early indicator of cognitive decline in people with type 2 diabetes. However, it’s unknown whether factors such as diet and obesity play a role in who develops these symptoms. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Chemical Neuroscience found that mice fed a moderate-fat, high-sugar chow (simulating a Western diet) showed a faster decline in their ability to learn and remember new odors.

Some people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) show signs of olfactory dysfunction, including problems with detecting, discriminating or recalling odors, or even a complete loss of smell. These symptoms are strongly associated with cognitive impairment, and evidence suggests they could be an early indicator of the condition in people with T2D. Obesity, which is the main risk factor for T2D, has also been associated with olfactory dysfunction, but the impact of obesity on the sense of smell specifically in

Blockchain And Bison Mix On The Western Plains Of Wyoming

[email protected]_84

In just a few years, the State of Wyoming has become synonymous with blockchain innovation, due in large part to its groundbreaking regulatory infrastructure for blockchain technology and digital assets. This extraordinary trajectory continues with the creation of the UW Center for Blockchain and Digital Innovation which was announced today.

The Center sits astride four UW colleges—including the College of Business, College of Engineering and Applied Science, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and the College of Law—as well as the state’s community colleges. According to UW President Ed Seidel, the Center is interdisciplinary “because that’s how the world works.”

Steven Lupien, who was recently named director, suggests that the Center “aligns well with the four pillars undergirding the University’s growth: to be more entrepreneurial, digital, inclusive and interdisciplinary.” He explains that the Center’s interdisciplinary approach enables proactive collaboration across different constituencies at the University,

November 2, 2020

MACOMB, IL – When Western Illinois University alumna and Merck & Co., Inc. executive Bridgette (Moody) Peake was a young girl, it was the actions of her fifth-grade teacher and mentor that helped develop a love of science.

Peake came to WIU as a graduate student in biology after getting her bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University. She graduated in 2010 with a master’s degree in biology and went on to get her doctoral degree in molecular pharmacology from Emory University. She is now a Women’s Cancers Regional Medical Scientific Director at Merck, Inc.

It’s Been 35 Years Since Nintendo Changed Western Gaming Forever

[email protected]_84

On this day, 35 years ago, Nintendo made the first of many indelible marks on the Western home gaming industry. On October 18, 1985, the company gave North America the Nintendo Entertainment System, signaling the beginning of a legacy that spawned seven home consoles, six handhelds, and countless beloved franchises.

The NES wasn’t Nintendo’s first foray into the U.S. and Canadian markets–the Game & Watch series, plus countless arcade machines, had become firm fixtures in the years prior. However, this debut home console, with its weird, VCR-inspired cartridge system and iconic rectangular pads, wouldn’t just revolutionize the gaming industry–it would save it.

It could’ve all been so different–had it not been for tumultuous politics in the U.S. gaming industry, the NES would have had an entirely different name, becoming the property of one of
