![]() Investors are still attracted to destinations based on a country’s economic and financial stability which continues to drive London’s appeal. ![]() ![]() London comes in behind Berlin, Paris, Lisbon, and Barcelona. London ranks as #5 on the list of top European cities popular with property investors according to Tatler Magazine, Singapore edition. How does London compare to other cities when it comes to investment from overseas? However, house prices have still climbed 4.1% across the capital despite many homebuyers looking outside of London for more space at a more affordable price tag. So what about London? Despite the stamp duty holiday causing house prices to skyrocket across much of the UK market, growth in London has been more muted. At 28.9%, Wellington has seen the sharpest increase in house prices since the start of the pandemic, with Auckland not far behind with an uplift of 26.4%, and Vancouver has the third spot with house prices up 18.8% since the start of the pandemic, Mortgage broker, Enness Global Mortgages, analysed house prices across 17 major cities worldwide and found that the major cities of New Zealand are leading the way with pandemic house price growth. Since December 2019, at the start of the pandemic, house prices have increased by an average of 8% across the globe. This is particularly true of cities in China and the Middle East, which are rapidly catching up with their European and North American peers. For many of the rising cities according to the article, long-term investments in governance and economics have begun to pay off. There was a ton of movement throughout like in the case of Toronto, which climbed nine spots to take second place. Surprisingly London ranked at the top of the chart again, which goes to show that globally speaking even with Brexit and Coronavirus, the forecast and outlook is quite strong. This analysis covers four dimensions-personal well-being, economics, innovation, and governance - which are key determinants of a city’s ability to attract talented human capital, generate economic growth, increase competitiveness, and ensure stability and security, respectively. Now, what about future prospects? The Global Cities Outlook or GCO examines those creating the conditions for future status as major global players. Global Cities Outlook – what the future may hold Another notable comment is the big jump by Beijing which has been attributed to aggressive investment in human capital while becoming more stable. The top 4 cities have kept their spots since 2019 with London in the number 2 spot behind New York. The most recent rankings include 151 cities across all continents, compared to 130 in 2019, reflecting the increasing importance of emerging geographies such as the Middle East, China, and Central Asia The GCI assesses how globally engaged cities are across five dimensions: business activity, human capital, information exchange, cultural experience, and political engagement. Let’s start with this Kearny Global Cities Index for 2020.

![]() The Monro-Kellie doctrine holds that the cranial vault is a non-expandable chamber, and as a result, the volume of that chamber remains constant. Whether the insult to brain tissue results from focal impact, diffuse axonal injury, intracranial hemorrhage or the mass effect resulting from it, the syndrome we wish to avoid is increased intracranial pressure. It is the damage to the brain stem that is most likely to cause severe derangements in vascular and respiratory function. ![]() The axonal tracts commonly damaged in DAI are concentrated in the corpus callosum, cerebral hemispheres and the brain stem. Excitatory amino acids such as glutamate and aspartate are released in large quantities after primary injury, and these biochemical transmitters are largely responsible for cellular edema. While it was long thought that the axonal tracts are sheared as a result of primary injury, we now know that these axons are merely damaged, and the biochemical cascade that results in secondary injury is responsible for most of the neuron death. Cerebral axons bridging different brain regions are stretched and damaged by rapid acceleration or deceleration. While focal TBI is primarily caused by direct impact, DAI is caused by indirect force, typically the acceleration-deceleration phenomenon common in automobile accidents, sports impacts, and blast injuries. DAI may be difficult to identify with neuroimaging, as most of the changes are microscopic. Primary injury in TBI can be classified into two broad categories: focal and diffuse.įocal injuries affect one discrete part of the brain and include skull fractures, penetrating wounds, intracranial hematomas and the like, while diffuse injuries are more widespread, such as diffuse axonal injury.ĭiffuse axonal injury is present in nearly half of severe TBI and its primary symptom is prolonged unconsciousness. Traumatic brain injury and hemorrhagic stroke While little can be done in the prehospital realm to limit or reverse primary injury, careful assessment and monitoring, including quantitative waveform capnography, can provide clues to the caregiver of the impending neurological sequelae of secondary injury.Īlthough hemorrhagic stroke - or other causes of intracranial bleeding - has not been typically classified into primary and secondary syndromes, one might consider the mass effect of an expanding intracranial hemorrhage to be a secondary injury. Primary injury occurs at the time of and in the area of the original insult, while secondary injury may occur hours to days or weeks afterward the initial insult. Injury resulting from severe neurological trauma can be classified into two broad categories: primary and secondary. Primary and secondary neurological injury Proper care of these patients can be guided with the use of quantitative waveform capnography. While these three pathologies - traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury and hemorrhagic stroke - may represent a broad constellation of clinical syndromes ranging from minor to potentially devastating neurological sequelae, we will limit our focus to the most severe of each, which may pose high risk of severe respiratory and vascular dysfunction. These two categories represent over half of SCI patients, and are at highest risk of respiratory dysfunction. Patients with incomplete and complete tetraplegia represent 30.1 percent and 20.4 percent of SCI victims, respectively. Īpproximately 12,500 people in the United States suffer spinal cord injuries every year, and it is estimated that there are as many as 276,000 SCI survivors in the United States as of 2014. All patients with an ICH score of 5 died. Intracerebral hemorrhage volume < 30 cm 3Įach increase in the patient's ICH score is associated with an increase in 30-day mortality those patients with an ICH score of 3 had 72 percent mortality, those scoring 4 had 97 percent mortality. The Intracerebral Hemorrhage score is the most commonly used prognostic indicator for hemorrhagic stroke, and is calculated thusly: The presence of a large volume of blood at presentation and growth of hematoma size are associated with higher mortality. Prognosis in these patients is based upon location, size and severity of hemorrhage as defined by Glasgow Coma Scale. Hemorrhagic stroke accounts for nearly 13 percent of the 795,000 strokes yearly in the United States, of which 3 percent are subarachnoid hemorrhage and 10 percent are intracerebral hemorrhage. The mortality rate for severe TBI - Glasgow Coma Score < 8 - is roughly 33 percent. ![]() Roughly 200,000 TBI victims yearly require hospitalization, at a cost of nearly $4 billion per year in medical expenses, lost wages and productivity. ![]() Traumatic brain injury accounts for nearly 40 percent of all trauma deaths in the United States, approximately 52,000 deaths per year. ![]() Discover gardens in the sky, towers marooned high on an immense waterwheel, and houses dug precariously into cliffs.

They show all that effort put into growing Pinot Noir in the chalk soils of Sancerre was worth it-that there was a logic to putting the red vines among the ocean of Sauvignon Blanc.Īlphonse Mellot 2016 Géneration Dix-Neuf (Sancerre) $140, 95 points. These wines are succulent in rich black cherry tones, lifted by acidity that comes from picking the grapes at just the right moment, and not from under-ripeness. Who would have thought that Sancerre could produce a 95 point red? The resulting wines are reflected in a recent batch of reds reviewed from the regions. ![]() They have learned that wood supports the fruit and doesn’t submerge it. Producers have learned to make red wines that are close to attaining the heights of Burgundian Pinot Noir, with the same depth and complexity. The last six years, starting with the 2014 vintage, there has been a remarkable change. Sometimes, a producer would throw wood at the problem and fail. A few geniuses, such as the Vacheron family, managed to coax richness from grape, but mostly the wines were light in profile, with flavors of bell pepper and green herbs. The red wines of Sancerre and Menetou-Salon, which are made entirely from Pinot Noir, used to be mainly thin and weedy. While these areas might be better known for Sauvignon Blanc, this story is about Pinot Noir. That’s the case in the eastern Loire regions of Sancerre and Menetou-Salon. Grapes that ripened erratically are now regularly capable of going the extra mile, turning out wines that previously could only have been made in warmer climes. However, there is one for vine-growers and wine producers in cooler climates. It’s hard to find many benefits of climate change.

Wicked individuals faced serious consequences for their actions, but at no time were they thought to have communed with a satanic figure. This faith had no devil figure, no embodiment of evil. Evil was believed to be caused by human malice or ill will that was animated through curses and medicinal mixtures employed with witchcraft.Įvil was perceived by the ancient Niger-Congo peoples to be a human force caused by people’s feelings of resentment, envy, greed, or the like combined with techniques of witchcraft. The spirits included ancestral and territorial spirits, which were both forces that had more immediate consequences for the day-to-day lives of the Niger-Congo than did the creator god. From at least the sixth millennium b.c.e., Niger-Congo religious philosophy consisted of a creator god, who stood at the zenith of the religious hierarchy and was the maker of all things various other levels of spirits and a realm of evil. Niger-Congo religious beliefs and practices centered on basic human concerns regarding the creation of the world, human origins, malevolence caused by evildoers, and protection and beneficence emanating from the spiritual (divine) sphere. ![]() These ancient peoples spoke ancestral Niger-Congo languages, inhabited the woodland savanna of West Africa, and produced microlithic stone tools from the seventeenth millennium b.c.e. The practice among the Niger-Congo-speaking peoples of a religious belief system that included an omnipotent god of creation can be traced back to the sixth millennium b.c.e. The Niger-Congo religion recognized three levels of spirits: ancestral spirits, territorial spirits, and, by the sixth millennium b.c.e., a creator god, suggesting an early manifestation of monotheism. ![]() Unlike Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine is protein-based.

The largest Texas wasps are cicada killers, measuring 0.6” to 2” (15 – 50 mm) long.ĭespite having a reputation for being aggressive, most wasps rarely attack humans. The smallest wasps in Texas are gall wasps, which are so tiny they are difficult to spot. Related to bees and ants, wasps belong to the insect order Hymenoptera. Wasps are insects with wings that allow them to fly. Additionally, most wasps have a recognizable thin waist, unlike bees which tend to be stockier. However, wasps tend to have smoother bodies and more vibrant coloration than bees. For example, some types of black and yellow wasps, like yellowjackets, and some paper wasps look like small honeybees. It can be challenging to tell wasps and bees apart. BeesĬlose up pictures of a honey bee (left) and a wasp (right) On the other hand, many species of solitary wasps burrow tunnels in the ground or wooden structures. For example, some small red wasps build paper nests consisting of several tube-like structures. You can also identify wasps in Texas by their habitat.
