![]() This means that just one person with diarrhea can easily contaminate the water in a large pool or water park. In addition, when someone is ill with diarrhea, their stool can contain millions of germs. On average, people have about 0.14 grams of feces on their bottoms which, when rinsed off, can contaminate recreational water. Swimmers share the water - and the germs in it - with every person who enters the pool. These can be introduced into the water through trace amounts of fecal matter that cling to people's bodies. Times points out:Īccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the most commonly reported recreational water illness (RWI) is diarrhea, which can be caused by germs such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Shigella, norovirus and E. Hungry and far from home, they crawl into our brains and start eating like crazy, killing the unfortunate host 95% of the time.īut as a result of its accidental nature, Naeglaria infection is quite rare in the United States - happening perhaps 2-3 times a year - especially compared to organisms that do seek us out in water. They only infect us when we swim into their habitat and happen to bump into them nose-first. Naegleria, on the other hand, are not parasites of humans they prefer bacteria and don't seek out people. Entamoeba histolytica comes to mind, the cause of the vastly more prevalent disease amoebic dysentary, which infects some 50 million worldwide. There are true amoebas that infect humans. The proposed kingdom to which the Heterolobosea belong - the Excavata - are even more of a mixed bag, although again one might say they are almost exclusively protists with either no or unusual mitochondria, two or more flagella for swimming, and a characteristic underside feeding groove supported by fibers called microtubules. For extra randomness, the Heterolobosea also includes a group of slime molds that's completely unrelated to the big showy ones most people (if they ever think of them) think of as slime molds. How exactly discoid is different from laminar I have not been able to discover. ![]() In contrast, most animals, I believe, have sheet-like or laminar cristae. But generally speaking, the phylum that includes Naegleria is made up of organisms that alternate between amoeboid and swimming forms, and that, like the Euglenozoa, have "discoid" cristae, or folds, in their energy-producing mitochondria. What tells us they are related is their DNA. Heterolobosea are difficult to define in a sentence, since they have evolved into so many niches. Take a look at this family tree of eukaryotes (nucleated organisms - everything except bacteria and archaea) for the groups Amoebozoa and Heterolobosea to see what I mean. Naegleria, in turn, seem to be much more closely related to Euglena - the flagellated (tailed) photosynthetic single-celled organisms from high school and college biology lab - and Trypanosoma, the causal organisms of sleeping sickness and Chagas disease. In fact, the true amoebae seem to be more closely related to fungi and animals than it they are to Heterolobosea, the phylum that includes Naegleria. Naegleria, it turns out, is only a distant relative of the Amoebozoa, the true amoebae, which generally lack flagella. But the trophozoite forms only superficially resemble amoebas their DNA tells us they are something much different indeed. Click here for a CDC graphic of their life cycle (on the left). When times get *really* bad, they encyst. Either of these forms can rarely, accidentally infect humans, typically in warm, shallow water in the southern U.S. When times are bad, they sprout tails and swim off like guided missiles in search of happier hunting grounds. When times are good, these trophozoites crawl through the mud in search of bacteria to eat. So why are they called amoebas if they are not? The organisms in question - which, like true amoebas are microbes called protists - do alternate between cysts, flagellate (swimming) forms, and amoeba-like (blobby, crawling) forms that are more properly called "trophozoites". The only trouble is, Naegleria isn't a true amoeba. In the press this week were reports (see here and here and here) that the brain-eating amoeba Naegleria fowleri has killed three people this summer, as it does in a typical year. Cyst, trophozoite ("amoeba"), and flagellate forms of the protist Naegleria fowleri. ![]() "Something in the Air," of course, has never lost its hold on our hearts, but there was so much more to Thunderclap Newman and, across the 12-track original album, and half-a-dozen bonus tracks, the trio's genius is inescapable. Reissued in 1991, Hollywood Dream had been utterly transformed by the admiration of so many subsequent listeners, to stand alongside any lost classic you could mention, among the finest albums of its psychedelic generation. Instead, they weren't even the new Badfinger, and this exquisite LP withered on the vine. Less than a year before, after all, "Something in the Air" was topping charts and readers' polls alike, and Thunderclap Newman were as close as Christmas to becoming the new Beatles. Even if you own the original LP, make sure to check out the recently expanded edition of the compact disc.Īll these years, and all these accolades later, it still seems incredible that Hollywood Dream meant nothing at the time of its release that America let it drift no higher than Number 161 that the U.K. Hollywood Dream has remained an anglophile fave sadly, it was to be Thunderclap Newman's only album. As the now-classic single, "Something in the Air" had long preceded it, the album delivered the goods in a similar fashion, fueled by Keene's reedy vocals and Newman's charming honky-tonk piano. It was this combination, plus the production efforts of Pete Townshend, that offered the album, Hollywood Dream. Jimmy McCulloch, the guitarist, looked to be a mere teenager, and so he was. The unlikely Andy Newman played terrific pub-style piano and looked much like a postal clerk, which in fact, he was. John "Speedy" Keene was an old crony of the Who, and had written "Armenia City in the Sky," which appeared on The Who Sell Out LP. Thunderclap Newman are one of the few who actually deserve that epithet.

Disparities in Air Pollution Exposure in the United States by Race/Ethnicity and Income, 1990–2010. ![]() Bechle, Anjum Hajat, Sun-Young Kim, Allen L. Historically, people of color have been at a higher risk of nitrogen dioxide pollution than White people, and this trend has continued despite the improvements due to the last expansion of Clean Air Act more than three decades ago.ĭatabyte via Jiawen Liu, Lara P. Pollution sources have continued to be located near disadvantaged communities. Although overall levels of NO 2 decreased significantly by 2010, levels of NO 2 increased in concert with the proportion of ethnic minority residents across the three decades analyzed in this study. The diamond icon represents the value in the middle of the distribution of air pollution. The thicker portion of the line represents the majority of the census block groups. The graph illustrates the relationship between levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO 2) and the proportion of residents of color in a census block. Exposure inequality was greatest for nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant that can lead to reduced lung function and greater risk of asthma. However, for all pollutants studied, people of color were more exposed to air pollution than their White counterparts. They found that overall levels of air pollution declined substantially from 1990 to 2010. They explored six pollutants: carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, and two types of fine particulate matter. Census Data from 1990 to 2010, following the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act. Jiawen Lui and colleagues investigated the disparities in air pollution exposure across income and ethnicity using U.S. Consequently, the burden of exposure to air pollution is not shared equally. Areas that were Whiter and richer became less polluted than areas that were ethnically diverse and lower income. While pollution decreased significantly in the two decades following the original 1970 Clear Air Act, the improvement was not equal across income levels and ethnicities. ![]() ![]() In 1969, Thunderclap Newman released the song “Something in the Air.” “There’s something in the air, we’ve got to get together sooner or later.” I’ve always chosen to believe that the band was referring to coming together to address air pollution.Īir pollution is linked to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, cancer, cognitive decline, and 100,000 premature deaths in the United States annually. ![]() Employees are always able to keep in touch, and the security of this powerful office chatting tool ensures that their conversations will not be compromised by outsiders.

The player to the left should get to the dinosaur elevator as well by getting on top of their pickaxe elevator. Then, they should go down once and back to the pickaxe elevator and take it up – them go down once more to their dinosaur elevator. The player to the right should go up twice and exit the elevator, going over the top of the elevator in front and all the way to the dinosaur elevator. Now both players should get back in the mine cart elevators. That player should climb on top of the elevator and then go down (as the player to the left goes up). The left player should go in the left elevator and go down (bringing it up for the one to the right).
