Evelyn de Rothschild also served as a Director of the newspaper group owned by Lord Beaverbrook. Years later, he served for a time as a Director of Lord Black's Daily Telegraph newspaper. An owner of thoroughbred racehorses, he is a former chairman of United Racecourses.

In 1967 Sir Evelyn created the Eranda Foundation to support social welfare, promote the arts and to encourage research into medicine and education.

Sir Evelyn serves as Queen Elizabeth II's financial adviser[citation needed]. He has been a Governor of the London School of Economics and Political Science as well as an active patron of the arts and supporter of a number of charities.

The Rothschilds were reported to have spent a night of their honeymoon at the Clinton White House. Indeed, Lady de Rothschild was so involved with Hillary’s presidential campaign that she had little time to devote to R Chocolate.

An economic bubble is a situation in which asset prices are much higher than the underlying fundamentals can reasonably justify. Bubbles are sometimes caused by unlikely and overly optimistic projections about the future. It could also be described as prices which strongly exceed the asset's intrinsic value.

Bubbles are sometimes referred to as a speculative bubble, a financial bubble, or a speculative mania.

In the early stages of a bubble, many investors do not notice the bubble for what it is. People notice the prices are going up and often think it is justified. Therefore bubbles are often conclusively identified only in retrospect, after the bubble has already popped and prices have crashed.

late Middle English: from Latin depressio(n- ), from deprimere ‘press down’ (see depress).

compression
/kəmˈprɛʃ(ə)n/

noun: compression; plural noun: compressions
the action of compressing or being compressed.

the reduction in volume (causing an increase in pressure) of the fuel mixture in an internal combustion engine before ignition.

Origin

late Middle English: via Old French from Latin compressio(n- ), from comprimere ‘press together’ (see compress).

Compression- a region in a longitudinal (sound) wave where the particles are closest together. Rarefaction- a region in a longitudinal (sound) wave where the particles are furthest apart.

Because of the longitudinal motion of the air particles, there are regions in the air where the air particles are compressed together and other regions where the air particles are spread apart. These regions are known as compressions and rarefactions respectively.

Ultrasonic wave propagation (a) compression and rarefaction, (b) stable ultrasonic cavitation, (c) transient ultrasonic cavitation, (d) pressure variation during compression and rarefaction.

Piezomagnetism is a phenomenon observed in some antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic crystals. It is characterized by a linear coupling between the system's magnetic polarization and mechanical strain. In a piezomagnetic material, one may induce a spontaneous magnetic moment by applying physical stress, or a physical deformation by applying a magnetic field.

Commercial banks create money, in the form of bank deposits, by making new loans. When a bank makes a loan, for example to someone taking out a mortgage to buy a house, it does not typically do so by giving them thousands of pounds worth of banknotes. Instead, it credits their bank account with a bank deposit of the size of the mortgage. At that moment, new money is created. For this reason, some economists have referred to bank deposits as ‘fountain pen money’, created at the stroke of bankers’ pens when they approve loans.(1)

Stanley Johnson, 80, has “what the French would call a préjugé favorable towards China” and considers it “vital at this moment that we speak face to face”, especially in the run-up to COP26. “It is such a large country that if China doesn’t meet [net zero by] 2050, it’s hard to see how the world does.”

An echo is a sound that is repeated because the sound waves are reflected back. Sound waves can bounce off smooth, hard objects in the same way as a rubber ball bounces off the ground. ... That is why echoes can be heard in a canyon, cave, or mountain range.

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA. The segments of DNA transcribed into RNA molecules that can encode proteins are said to produce messenger RNA. Other segments of DNA are copied into RNA molecules called non-coding RNAs.

An mRNA vaccine is a type of vaccine that uses a copy of a molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA) to produce an immune response. The vaccine delivers molecules of antigen-encoding mRNA into immune cells, which use the designed mRNA as a blueprint to build foreign protein that would normally be produced by a pathogen (such as a virus) or by a cancer cell. These protein molecules stimulate an adaptive immune response that teaches the body to identify and destroy the corresponding pathogen or cancer cells. The mRNA is delivered by a co-formulation of the RNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles that protect the RNA strands and help their absorption into the cells.

An immune response is a reaction which occurs within an organism for the purpose of defending against foreign invaders.

A criticism of eugenics policies is that, regardless of whether negative or positive policies are used, they are susceptible to abuse because the genetic selection criteria are determined by whichever group has political power at the time. Furthermore, many criticize negative eugenics in particular as a violation of basic human rights, seen since 1968's Proclamation of Tehran as including the right to reproduce. Another criticism is that eugenics policies eventually lead to a loss of genetic diversity, thereby resulting in inbreeding depression due to a loss of genetic variation. Yet another criticism of contemporary eugenics policies is that they propose to permanently and artificially disrupt millions of years of evolution, and that attempting to create genetic lines "clean" of "disorders" can have far-reaching ancillary downstream effects in the genetic ecology, including negative effects on immunity and on species resilience.

Researchers from the OHSU Casey Eye Institute in Portland, Oregon, have broken new ground in science, medicine, and surgery — the first gene editing procedure in a living person.

For the first time, scientists are altering DNA in a living human. With more research the study could lead to the development of procedures that can help to correct other genetic disorders.

oh the "state" of oregon has been editing DNA for decades now (indirectly) = very few "leos" *ever* in that state - socialist mindset, since the free bus ride political wars waaaaay back in the day - and alll the demonrats & demonrat political officials dealing street drugs for years and years and years - i would say since the logging industry ended and the clinton regime shut down fish hatcheries via the american heritage rivers act. they ruined my beloved oregon. Oh also, whatever the bottom line monetary factor there is to any municiple building project has to have (i mean forced) an ADDITIONAL percentage of the project value allocated for public art to be added. i used to think it was kewl until the crack addicts took office - and then i realized what CREEPING socialism looks like. i wish i could go home.

At a Glance

Dysfunction and death of retinal cells, and consequent vision loss, can be inhibited by direct electrical stimulation of vulnerable cells in the visual pathway
We achieve this effect not by invasive, bulky implants that generate unnatural visual stimuli, but by intravitreal injection of a colloidal suspension of nanoparticle devices that support natural vision
These “quantum dots” diffuse into the retina where they transduce visible light energy into electricity, thereby triggering action potentials in adjacent neural cells and preserving function
Our initial field of focus is retinitis pigmentosa; we are following encouraging Phase I results with a controlled, 15-patient clinical trial, expected to be complete by the end of 2020.

Previous studies were conducted on the effect of the size and shape of colloidal particles on catalysis and the effect of the stabilizer on the activity. In this chapter, we discuss the homogeneous and heterogeneous colloidal nanocatalysts used in the reactions of liquid phase hydrogenation reactions, electron transfer reactions, electrocatalysis, fuel cells, and cross-coupling reactions. Moreover, the effect of the size and shape of colloidal nanoparticles upon each reaction will also be reviewed and presented.
