But we all share that ongoing sense of excitement each time we take out our telescopes and gaze directly at the cosmos above us. We feel we are looking at the very dawn of time. And in light of the issues with the speed of light which means that many of the twinkling stars out there are really light from those stars that started their journey to us thousands of years ago, we are in actually looking directly at the past every time we direct our eyes skyward.

But we don’t have to worry about ever conquering the final frontier and finding our curiosity satisfied. There will always be more to learn and discover in the world of astronomy. And it is likely that mankind’s curiosity about astronomy is just as limitless as well.

At this extreme moment, we began working from home, away from campus, and keeping social distance for as many people as possible. As we stay home and are stuck with the foods that have been in our fridge or pantry for a while, we are temporarily living a sedentary lifestyle with increased odds of physical inactivity, excessive eating and sitting, stress, anxiety, and depression. In particular, many of us will gain some weight during the pandemic and may keep the extra weight permanently, which may carry considerable health risks for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart attack, stroke, and other health problems.
Here, I’d like to share some basic tips and resources for how to maintain your healthy lifestyle, body weight, and overall well-being while staying home and engaging in social distancing.
1. Measure and Watch Your Weight
Keeping track of your body weight on a daily or weekly basis will help you see what you’re losing and/or what you’re gaining.
2. Limit Unhealthy Foods and Eat Healthy Meals
Do not forget to eat breakfast and choose a nutritious meal with more protein and fiber and less fat, sugar, and calories. For more information on weight-control foods and dietary recommendations, please check the following website: www.hsph.harvard.edu/obesity-prevention-source/obesity-causes/diet-and-weight/.
3. Take Multivitamin Supplements
To make sure you have sufficient levels of nutrients, taking a daily multivitamin supplement is a good idea, especially when you do not have a variety of vegetables and fruits at home. Many micronutrients are vital to your immune system, including vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, and E, as well as zinc, iron, copper, selenium, and magnesium. However, there’s currently NO available evidence that adding any supplements or “miracle mineral supplements” to your diet will help protect you from the virus or increase recovery. In some cases, high doses of vitamins can be bad for your health.

Choice as Reward: Choice in and of itself appears to be highly reinforcing.
Provide choices of activities between assignments or embed choices within
assignments (e.g., choice of materials, readings, response modes, peer partners).
Choices also provide students practice in decision making.


Checking With Chimes: In order to teach students to monitor their attention to
task, set reminders at random intervals on an electronic device, such as a
smartphone or kitchen timer. Time intervals should be set based on the student’s
attention span and the pace of the lesson (typically 3 to 5 minutes). When the
tone sounds, the student charts or marks whether she is engaged in learning. A
simple yes or no checklist works well. Students can monitor their own behaviors
by giving themselves points or checkmarks for appropriate behavior. Extra points
may be awarded when student and teacher ratings match. The student could then
chart her score using a computer program, tablet, smartphone, graph paper, or
poster board.

The production chain with natural products has three major parts to consider. The
fi rst is agricultural, followed by, for example, extraction to get a concentrated
raw extract, and in pharmaceutical applications (not with cosmetics and nutraceuticals) a fi nal purifi cation step is necessary in order to get an ultrapure product.
All the steps combined contribute to the overall yield and determine the fi nal
economics.
To highlight the importance of including the complete production chain, we
can consider growing a crop of plants containing oleanoic acid. This is found in
several plants (almond hulls, privet, rosemary, thyme, clove, lavender, olive, hawthorn, periwinkle etc.) with a content less than 1% in dry mass. Higher values
were observed only with a different kind of sage. The value varies with location
and local climate (e.g., Germany versus Greece), types of soil (sandy, thus irrigation needed), distance between the growing rows and cultivar. With the latter,
higher content is with plants from scions obtained through vegetative reproduction ( Salvia offi cinalis ) compared with those from sowing ( S. lavendulifolia ).
However, planting with scions is very labor - intensive, which has quite an impact
in respect to labor costs, and sowing is then the alternative. Optimal conditions
for sage are with warm and wind - protected sites, with a light soil containing
compost and water. Dry periods are no major problem and the plants should
grow in rows (distance 25 – 50 cm) as depicted in Figure 1.7 [15] . Usually, the
useful life is four to fi ve years and for soil recovery a four - year interval is recommended. If the plants are used to gain pharmaceutical extracts, all cultivation steps
(sowing, manuring etc.) must be documented and with pest management any
pesticide (date, dosage etc.) must be registered. With sage the use of herbicides is
forbidden and two cuts per year are recommended. After air classifi cation the
leaves are dried and according to the Deutsches Arzneibuch only 2% impurities are

In 2017, while red-flagging the concern of biological warfare at an international security conference, philanthropist businessman Bill Gates underlined how a respiratory-spread pathogen could kill 30 million people in less than a year. Coronavirus has not emanated from a terrorist module, but it seems to have the potential to become exactly the global epidemic Gates was warning against. Within three months of its outbreak, coronavirus has already claimed over 3,200 lives and has spread to over 93,000 cases across 70 countries. Outside China which has borne most of the disease brunt, Iran has reported 92 deaths while Italy has reported 79. With WHO declaring it a public health emergency of international concern, the disease has also made its way to the US amid much criticism of the Trump administration’s initial handling of the health threat.

In most organizations, documents are used over and over without going back to a blank template. That’s how most employees work. Now when you open a previously used file Templafy automatically checks to ensure all the latest guidelines are being followed and that the most up-to-date assets are being used. This capability can also be used to quickly assess and correct your work as you go.
