The store has a clean and well-lit environment with sparse but well-maintained merchandise arranged functionally. Employees are friendly and help customers within 30 seconds, treating all customers equally. The store carries reasonably priced everyday items like food, drinks, and household goods located at eye level and near the register. Customers appear to be on a mission, staying only 3 minutes on average to purchase the items they came for.

Abstract
Salmonella is a causative agent for a wide variety of pathological diseases in humans, cattle, poultry and other farm animals and hence Salmonella infections are a major cause of concern to humans, veterinary animals and to food industry. With characterization of over 2500 Salmonella serovars, the pathogen nearly infects all vertebrates but the severity of infection varies from one serovar to another depending upon their host specificity. Some Salmonella serovars are restricted to one or few hosts while others have a broad host spectrum. Thus the understanding of the mechanisms involving host preference by one serovar over another is very important. As our knowledge about host adaptability will then be instrumental in designing better vaccines. Furthermore, methods involving identification of genetic markers for host specificity will prove to be instrumental in determining virulence factors for other pathogenic bacteria that cause systemic infections.

Top 34 natural food sources of vitamin AAutumn Damask
Vitamin-A is crucial in the development of our skin, teeth and bones. It plays a huge role in the development of our eyes, allowing us to differentiate between different colors and for night vision.
Most of us hear about vitamin-C and it's antioxidant effects on the body all the time: preventing colds, flus, heart disease and cancer. However, vitamin A is just as important and has just as many jobs.
A fat-soluble vitamin, “retinol” as it's known in chemistry, wears many hats inside the body. It's a gene modulator responsible for turning receptors in our immune system on and off as required. Vitamin-A works side-by-side with vitamin-D to regulate calcium levels in our bones, and is a critical ingredient in bone marrow and the dentin inside our teeth. It also tells the outer layers of our skin to shed and fresh skin to make its way to the surface.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.

Before you enter the store:
Does the store draw you in? Yes.. If so, how? It’s a welcoming store with wide doors and
good lighting
Is the door open or closed? The door is closed. The store is open. I’m OK with that.
How does this make you feel? Relieved, if not “great.”
How big is the sign lettering and in what font? Store lettering is about 18 inches high, or
so.
What does it tell you about the store? They do not want potential customers to be
confused about the purpose of the business.
Environment:
What is the color scheme of the store? How does this affect you? Very basic. Black,
white, red, chrome, glass. Clean lines, clean appearance. I like the store. It feels as though
they do what they do well.
What type of floor does the store have? Big black and white tiles. They are shiny and
well cleaned. How does this effect the environment? I like this, because they sell
packaged and prepared food, and I feel like a clean store is a good start to doing these
things.
How high is the ceiling? Probably 11 feet high or so. How does this feel? I feel like they
want you to be comfortable, but not get comfortable.
How brightly lit is the store? Very well lit. How does this affect you? I feel as though it is
clean and safe. It would take a concerted effort to affront and surprise these people.
How loud is the environment? Quiet. There is a TV, but the noise in the store comes from
the bustle of the clients.
What is causing the noise? It’s the sound of money.
Is there music playing? Some music. Mostly seems to appease the youngest member of
the family who is working at the store. She seems to like her Top 40! If so, does it fit the
environment? I would say so.
Is the store warm or cold? Always feels right. Warm in the winter when it is cold out,
cool in the summer when you need a blast of AC.
Is the store crowed with merchandise or is it sparse? Sparse but well maintained and with
a good variety.
