Universities look at social networks to choose their students

Posted on December 12, 2016 by Connell

The social networking accounts like Facebook, Twitter , Snapchat , YouTube, Vine and all others they can be reviewed by the admissions offices of universities and what they find there can impact positively or negatively the perception they may have of your children . We tell you what universities want to see and what not.

Should my child delete his account or make it private?

Private Make it is always a good idea . In most social networks, a private account will not appear in searches and will limit your child’s fingerprint (how much information is available on the internet). However, you do not have to delete your accounts, as universities expect you to have them.

Should I delete all your holiday photos?

No, universities want to see that your child is a complete person and a healthy social life. What could harm the publications that reflect who is not able to make good decisions . It’s a good idea to remove all photos that contain inappropriate content such as alcoholic beverages, sexy things and rudeness. Although it may sound obvious, it is also important to eliminate hostile or negative discussions about the university to which you are applying.

The university in which you are interested contacted him through Facebook Does that mean that is relaxed and will not mind his “teenage stuff”?

No, college marketing departments use social media to attract teenagers (and maybe to look like ‘alcohol’ as well), but you have to be careful. Responding through social networks (instead of by email) may allow you to view your account, so tell your child to make sure that it is a reflection of who you are before you begin the process.

My son has intense discussions in webpage forums Can that hurt him?

It is possible, if you used the same username you use on other public social networks and there is a history of these discussions, these may appear when searching Google. You can not travel to the past and change what you say, so tell him to make sure his name is clean. If you like to debate in public forums remind him that he should always do so constructively and cordially.

Can the strange things that gives ‘I like’ seen as something negative?

Probably not, unless it is something illegal, antisocial or disturbing and an important part of your recent news.

Can the university see in a negative way that it follows controversial public figures on the networks?

It is difficult for them to see this negatively unless the majority of the people they follow are very extreme and controversial. This could prove that it is not open to other points of view, which can be problematic in the university. If you are interested in a topic, tell it to seek different opinions. You can also follow influential people on topics that interest you, including the universities for which you are applying. This will help you learn about this subject and if the university realizes it will show that you are committed to their learning and very interested in that particular university.

What can make you believe that a university did not accept it unfairly because of its social networks?

As universities receive many applications from eligible candidates, they check social networks to see who they favor, not to see what dirty rags they get. Maybe the social networks of another student fit more with the university, but if you think there is something on Facebook that is affecting you, you can contact the university and ask if that is the case.

Can your likes, followers and other indicators of popularity on the networks help you or affect you in the admission process?

If you have a specific passion, say music, photography or anything else and have cultivated an active audience in the networks, that’s an advantage. The university will see that it has ambition and initiative. On the other hand, you may not even consider whether you have an audience following typical teen topics like memes and videos of cats, but it’s not something that will play against you.

You should build their networks specifically for universities to like?

Some universities are interested in seeing that social networks look like a resume so you can ask the admission office how important this is for them. But broadly speaking, their networks should reflect who they are, (well, maybe a slightly more sophisticated version), but it’s important not to overdo it on their successes, as the universities check that awards and achievements are true. Your child may not be happy at a college that chooses it based on a fake version of him, but he must show that he wants to impress anyone who is following him.

The great myths of eggs

Posted on December 12, 2016 by Connell

How many eggs should be taken per week? Are they better raw or cooked? Is it better to take only the yolk? Are white eggs healthier than brown eggs. Expertise for health and nutrition , it addresses all matters relating to the eggs and their relation to cholesterol .

“Cholesterol is a fatty substance naturally present in every cell in the human body, necessary for normal functioning of the body. Most of the cholesterol is produced in the liver and the blood takes it to the rest of the organs that need it “, explains the expert.

Cholesterol is needed for:

Intervenes in the formation of bile acids, vital for the digestion of fats
Sun’s rays transform cholesterol into vitamin D
They are very important to protect the skin from chemical agents
Avoid dehydration
From it certain hormones are formed, such as the sexes and the thyroid

There are 2 types of cholesterol:

LDL transports the newly produced every cell in our body cholesterol. It is called bad because “usually deposited on the wall of the arteries and builds up gradually feared atherosclerotic plaques, which obstuyen”.
HDL is good because it “picks up cholesterol not used by the body and return it to the liver for excretion storage or abroad through bile.”

Expertise explains that “a balance between the two cholesterol” is necessary because if there is too much cholesterol in the blood and is deposited in the arterial wall can lead “to the dreaded atherosclerosis.”

“The cholesterol is the high level of blood cholesterol and often produces no symptoms or physical signs, so diagnosis should only be made through a blood test, so it is recommended to check a year”, clarifies.

Egg-Cholesterol

Nutrition expert says the egg “is a food rich in cholesterol, especially the yolk , ” but ensures that studies indicate that other factors such as “sedentary or overweight have so much influence or more on cholesterol The egg ingestion itself “.

Expertise states that although a person has high cholesterol, in the nutritional consultation they do not prohibit him to eat it, but he does “moderate consumption”. A healthy diet can include eggs until 3 or 4 times preferably boiled and not fried week.

“The clear is richer in protein and egg richest in cholesterol, but there is no reason to eat only clear as the yolk contains other nutrients that are important for a balanced diet” sentence.

Myths of eggs

The egg does not damage the liver”is a myth that is not based on a scientific nor are there studies that show evidence”.
Slimline consume eggs There are studies that conclude that consuming them at breakfast is a great nutritional contribution and gives greater satiety, so it controls hunger and that favors the reduction of body weight. “Scientists suspect that the crucial compound is the quality of the protein it possesses. People who daily consume eggs have lower levels of ghrelin, a hormone that gives a sense of satiety in the brain. “
NOT eat raw eggs than cooked. “It is a false myth because the raw eggs are less digested, only 50% is absorbed and this happens because the clear liquid resists the action of digestive juices and on the contrary, when cooked the protein coagulates and digests much better , Up to 92% “,
Brown eggs do NOT contain more nutrients than whites. The variety of color simply depends on the breed of the hens, the white plumage lay white eggs and the brown plumage lay the brown eggs. “In Spain almost 80% prefer brown, but there are no differences in quality or nutritional level,” says the expert

How To Teach Your Dog To Sit

Posted on December 4, 2016 by Connell

Teaching your dog to sit down when ordered is one of the simplest behaviors you can teach him and this is usually the first order of basic dressage. Whether your dog sits can be helpful in many situations, but dressage also serves to establish roles within your relationship with him. Once he has learned to sit down on command, you will have his attention and you will be able to train him more. Some methods work best on puppies, while others work best for less energetic adult dogs.

Create an enabling environment for dressage

1.Take your time. Dogs, especially puppies, have a limited duration of concentration and are easily distracted. Keep this in mind as you prepare yours and know that you will have to go slowly at first. Offer him breaks so he can completely concentrate on the dressage sessions.

2. Create an appropriate environment. The environment in which you erect it must be a place where it feels comfortable and offers little distraction.

An indoor room can be ideal: you will have more control over the level of activity of your dog and you will be able to confine it to better concentrate its attention.
Make sure to inform other people who are in the house that you are in the middle of dressage so they avoid distracting the dog and interfere with the dressage session.

3. Avoid doing it outdoors. The outside training sessions give much less control and offer far too many distractions. This also limits your ability to confine your dog, which will make it less concentrated.

If you have no choice, you will need a secure place to prevent it from escaping or you will need to use a leash to control it. This can greatly limit the effectiveness of dressage techniques and can complicate things.

4. Observe your dog’s mood. If he begins the session by giving you attention, responding to your orders and participating in the dressage, then he begins to be distracted, take a break. Maybe it’s turned upside down. You may need to find a less distracting environment or shorten the dressage sessions early. For example, start with 5 minutes instead of 10 minutes.

Using the Reward Method

1.Get yourself a whole bunch of little treats. You will give a lot to your dog while training, so you should choose very small ones. You can also use healthy human foods that are suitable for dogs, such as apples, carrots, green beans or chicken. ^[3] If your dog is overweight, you should find treats reduced calorie or reduced.

Always check that human foods are safe for dogs. There are many that are dangerous for them: fresh and dried grapes, chocolate, onions, avocado, and so on.

2. Get his attention. When you teach him to behave well, the first step is to capture all his attention. It will be easier if you put yourself directly in front of him so that he is completely focused on you and he can see and hear you clearly.

3. Show him a treat. Keep it by hand so that he knows you have it, but also so that he can not get it from you. He will wonder how to get it for you. At this point, you should have all of his attention.

4. Put the snack under her nose, then move it to the back of her head. Keep the treats very close to her nose, then slowly lift her over her head. He will follow the treat of the eyes and his nose, looking up while automatically placing his behind ashore.

You must keep the treat near his head so that he does not try to jump to catch it. Keep it close enough to the surface on which it will sit.
If the back of your dog does not come into contact with the ground completely, you can help him by gently taking him to the sitting position, keeping the snack in the same position.
If your dog tries to retreat to follow the treat rather than raise his head and sit down, try the method of indulgence inside a corner to begin. This will reduce its ability to roll back and facilitate the session.

5. Say “sit” when he sits down and reward him with a treat. When his back comes into contact with the floor, say “seated” in a firm voice, then immediately offer him the treat to reward him for sitting down.

Try to talk as little as possible. If he does not sit right away, do not say “no, sit” and do not give any other orders. If you limit your words to an order and encouragement, the word that serves as an order will appear more clearly to your dog.

6.Praise him for his behavior. Strengthen the reward with encouragement: rub his head and use words like “good dog.” This reinforces the fact that he did something you liked. Do this every time he sits down during a dressage session.

7.Release it from the sitting position. You can do this by using an order as “go” while taking a step back and encouraging it to come towards you.

8. Repeat the exercise for 10 minutes. After a while, he will probably be bored, so take a break and start another time. Try to do 2-3 short sessions everyday. This should take 1 to 2 weeks of intensive sessions so he understands.

9. Sew it from the treats. At first, when you train your dog with the reward method, give him a treat every time he sits down. Be sure to always congratulate him with enthusiasm. After a week or two, when he sits down reliably, give him a treat from time to time while continuing to congratulate him. You will try (slowly) to make it sit with a signal of your hand and the order “seated”, without candy, then only with the order “seated”.

Guide it physically

1. Use this method with turbulent dogs. It is used to have a better control on the dog with which one works and it is better adapted to the very active dogs.

When working with disobedient dogs, the trick is to control them with a leash and a harness and reinforce positive behavior. Negative attitudes during training should be ignored: if you respond, you reinforce them.

2. Put a leash on your dog. You will need his attention and stay in his place during the session. Using a leash will help you accomplish all this and keep it close to you. If you really do not want to work with a leash, you can still use this method as long as it stays with you.

Keep the leash tight so that your dog is close to you, but not tight to the point of making it uncomfortable.
You may need to try different types of harness or collar to find what suits your dog. A harness that attaches to your dog’s chest rather than to his back offers more control over his movements.

3. Stand close to him and encourage him to sit down. You will help him to bend down in a sitting position by gently pressing the area just above his hind legs. He may be a little disoriented at first, but he will eventually understand and sit down.

Do not force him to sit down. Pushing it too hard can frighten or hurt it.
Never hit him and never spank him. You will teach him nothing in this way: you will only teach him to be afraid of you.
If he challenges you and he refuses to sit down, try walking him a bit with the leash to “reset” the session, then try to bend it down again.

4. Say “sitting” when his behind touches the ground. Keep your hand in the same place for about 30 seconds so that it associates the sitting position with your order.

5. Repeat. You have to repeat the process several times by rewarding it and congratulating it on every successful test. Continue to guide him to the sitting position with your hand as long as necessary until he learns to sit only at the sound of your voice.

6. Change the environment. If it resists all the time, you should move it to a different surface that may be more comfortable for it. You can also try to take breaks and try later after leaving her a little rest.

7. Be persistent. With a particularly energetic dog, this may require weeks of training before he understands the order to sit. To help calm him down, do not forget to remain calm and speak in a peaceful voice. You can also try to schedule your training sessions at a time when there are few distractions and after your dog has spent a lot of energy hoping that it is less restless.

8.Try to have him sit down without help. Once he sits down regularly with your help, it will be time to try it out. Your dog always on a leash, try to say “sit” when standing without using your hand. At first, keep rewarding him whenever he sits on command, while gradually trying to make him sit down without tidbits. ^[15]

Praise your dog for its natural behavior

1. Use this method with older and quieter dogs. This method will probably be less effective with a puppy, but it works well with older dogs that are relatively calm.

2.Sit in a comfortable place with your dog. It is better to begin to train him in the house without distractions. Work in a small room, but still allow your dog to move freely.

Do not forget that it is a time reserved for dressage and that observing it is not enough. You should stay calm and not try to alter the natural behavior of your dog.

3.Observe it until it sits. Do not do anything to make him sit, but let him move freely until he sits alone.

4. Say “sit down!” “And congratulate him immediately. Make sure to say “sit” and give him the reward at the same time his behind touches the ground. Speak clearly and tone. Reward him by caressing his head and saying, “good dog!” Or by giving her a little treat.

Avoid yelling at him with a strict voice. Dogs do not respond well to negative reinforcement.

5 Repeat the exercise as often as possible. For your dog to learn to associate the act of sitting with the word “sitting”, you will have to train often. Try to stay close to him for half an hour / hour using the above technique to train him every time he sits.

6 Tell him to sit when he is standing. Once you have successfully taught him to understand what the word “sit” means, try to sit it down when you ask him to do so. When he obeys, reward him immediately. Keep practicing until he is able to sit down on command, without tidbits.

Advice

This is not one thing that all dogs understand immediately. You will have to train every day until he learns and for several days to remember.
Praise him every time he obeys.
If he does not understand, do not force him. Stop before you frustrate each other and try again tomorrow.
Love your dog and be patient. You will have to do it full of times before it understands.
From time to time, let another member of the household try to get him to sit down

The complexity of HIV, a stumbling block to a diabolic virus

Posted on December 4, 2016 by Connell

The HIV virus is the most complex virus facing science. More than three decades after the detection of the first cases, there are still no vaccines to prevent it or cure it, but there are anti retroviral drugs that contain the development of AIDS in the infected patient. “We do not know if we will be smart enough to overcome this devilish virus,” says researcher Jose alcami on World AIDS Day

But research on HIV has not stalled in the responsible Unit Immunopathology AIDS Health Institute Carlos III (ISCIII) of Madrid and coordinator of the Network of AIDS Research opinion, since in the last year ” Giant technical progress has been achieved that will allow the application of treatments in real life at a reasonable cost, “says the expert in an interview.

For example, he explained, it has been shown that using a complex of three bound virus envelope proteins in place of a single protein in a vaccine produces a more effective immunizing effect. “Generating trimeric vaccines – three conjugated proteins – represented a huge cost a year or two ago and yet a methodology is being achieved that makes it economically viable,” says Jose alcami.

The scientist warns, however, that it is still unknown “what is the good protein and good antibody that helps us to have the good vaccine or cure the infected patients, but the day we have it we can apply it.”

It is because the complexity of HIV makes it possible that, although there are already antibodies that have been shown in monkeys to protect and help cure, the ability of the virus to reproduce variants resistant to those antibodies makes them “ineffective enough” Already in the market and treat patients, “laments the biochemist.

The ideal prototype of antibody is one that gets to the target of this virus that is very skilled at hiding by having generated a series of mechanisms that allow it to form a shield and elude the action of antibodies.

Alcami says, “the good news is that among the thousands of antibodies synthesized by a patient, there are those who, like missiles, manage to cross the virus shield and most of the viral variants, but the bad news is that they are few, Only 1 or 2%, so we must teach the immune system to manufacture 80-90% of that type of antibodies. That’s a big challenge. “

Blocking antibodies

Another challenge is to get these antibodies, in addition to traversing the structure of the virus and recognizing the great diversity of viral variants, have enough strength to block it and for that you must recognize the proteins of the viral surface with a great power.

Generating these antibodies that block most variants of HIV and with sufficient force is a process that the immune system performs and, in the case of HIV, needs at least two years.

However, to generate such antibodies against other viruses such as Ebola or zika the agency spends only a few weeks. This “slowness” of the system is due to the complexity of the AIDS virus and gives it an advantage that the immune system will not be able to recover.

Steps that mark a road map that was implemented about ten years ago, “When we saw that everything was being done was useless and we stopped using prototypes that did not work. At that time many researchers, from the laboratory, decided to take a step back and find out how the virus works, the structure of its proteins, the mechanisms of entry, the immune response of infected patients and especially identify really effective antibodies, understand their Properties, manufacture them”, he says.

A few years in which knowledge has been generated about what type of vaccines are needed and in which it has progressed technically to be applicable when they exist.

“But we still can not date the moment of success, nor know the new strategy but the investment that is making both economic (especially in the United States) and of neurons is impressive, because the best researchers in the world are involved,” he says. Jose alcami not without first posing: “We do not know if we will be smart enough to surpass this virus so devilish.”

A vaccine with multiple variants

In the scientific opinion, the HIV vaccine “will be much more complex than those that already exist against any other virus , ” like the flu vaccine which includes only two variants. This is because the ease of the virus to be modified quickly requires having to use different prototypes.

“That is to say, in the case of the HIV vaccine, the rapid evolution of the virus makes vaccination difficult because one or two injections are not enough, not even three or four, but at this time we would have to do many injections at very high Defined and with different proteins, “he explains.

“That strategy is not applicable at this time,” he says, “but a number of very clever approaches are being made to try to get the immune system to learn faster instead of needing twelve injections of different proteins.”

The founding viruses

The research group headed by Dr. Jose Alcami in the laboratory Retroviruses National Microbiology Center is integrated, among others, by Drs Nuria Gonzalez and Maite Perez Olmeda, vaccines, and Eloisa Yuste, antibody, and is part Of the Spanish AIDS Research Network and participates in the European Initiative for the Vaccine of Aids whose commitment is that at least one prototype of preventive vaccine and two therapeutic have test results in humans before 2020.

In the laboratory of the ISCIII they are also developing new prototypes of preventive vaccines based on founding viruses, those that are more effective in transmitting and founding a new “infectious colony” in a patient.

“Due to the variability of HIV, an infected patient may have ten thousand different variants of this virus, but at the time of transmission, when a contagious sexual relationship occurs, the subject is not infected by several variants, only one, Which is the so-called founding virus, “says Alcami.

“A hypothesis that we have been working for years,” he added, “is to make a vaccine to protect against this type of virus founders,” another of the objectives in the European 2020 project.

The complexity of HIV has also made trials in ISCIII with gels vaginal barrier method such as HIV have failed in macaque females and thus have not passed the test phase in humans. “The power of the microbicide tested is not enough and we will have to develop and test other derivatives of the same molecule,” says the scientist.

Test and error, the method of all research that seems to be more present in the case of HIV, a virus with which live 36.7 million people in the world and that has killed 35 million since the beginning of the epidemic makes more According to the latest UNAIDS data.
