FAISALABAD:The best way to teach modern anatomy is by combing multiple pedagogical resources to complement one another. Students appear to learn more effectively when multi-modal and system-based approaches are integrated. This was said by experts while speaking at a national workshop on teaching and research techniques in anatomy organised by Department of Anatomy, University of Agriculture on Wednesday. The inaugural session was chaired by UAF Vice-Chancellor Dr Iqrar Ahmad Khan. The experts said not a single teaching tool had been found to meet curriculum requirements of anatomy. The limitation on time, trained faculty and resources for gross anatomy courses in integrated and system based curricula, have led many medical and veterinary schools to abandon costly and time consuming decision based instructions in favour of alternative methods of instructions, including prosection, medical imaging, living anatomy and multimedia resources, the experts opined. UAF Vice-Chancellor Dr Iqrar Ahmad Khan said UAF was taking all possible measures to produce trained manpower by ensuring quality education in the country. He said the UAF used to organise such events to raise awareness among the masses about different issues. Dean Veterinary Sciences Dr Ahrar Khan said poverty alleviation was directly linked to the agriculture and livestock sector. … Continue reading →

Comments(1) We at the Hull Daily Mail have been thinking about what makes the perfect Hull City player. So we selected ten attributes and the idea was to name the player with the best; first touch, passing, finishing, tackling, heading, power, character, intelligence, leadership and speed. Throw them all together and collectively you have the perfect Tiger. To get us started football writer Will Jackson names his perfect player from the current squad and we want to hear from you about who you think would go onto the perfect City player of all time. For the next week we'll be opening the voting to find out who you think is the City player who has been the best passer of a ball that you've ever seen, or who is the quickest. To whet your appetite for that, take a look at our perfect City player using the current squad. First touch: Sam Clucas An unsung hero, Clucas has the ability to run a game on his day, and a cracking first touch is where that all starts. Passing: Tom Huddlestone A candidate for a few of these categories but Huddlestone's passing is arguably the best we have ever seen in … Continue reading →

When Greys Anatomy" executive producers Joan Rater and Tony Phelanleft the ABC medical soap to launch their own legal drama, they knew there was at least one aspect of the former series that they wanted to carry over to the new one: the sense of never knowing who is going to come through the door. Doubt, the new CBS procedural from the wife-and-husband team, is set in a New York boutique law firm that takes on risky social justice cases. Like in 'Grey's, you never know who will come in needing help, Phelan said. We wanted a show about people who were from various socioeconomic backgrounds. That was really important to us. The series, which premieres Wednesday, stars Katherine Heigl as Sadie Ellis, a defense attorneywho becomespersonally involved with her latest case and client,played by Steven Pasquale (Rescue Me). The cast is rounded out by Elliott Gould, the chief of the law firm, and Laverne Cox, Dule Hill, Dreama Walker and Kobi Libii, all of whom play lawyers. Cox, it merits noting, is the first-ever transgender actor to play a transgender character in a series regular role on broadcast TV. Doubt is somewhat inspired by ABCs late 90s-early 00s legal … Continue reading →

Recently, a group of high school students, under the direction of anatomy teacher Daniel Sanchez visited Vogel Elementary and taught all of the second grade students a little lesson. The subject a human cell. While this may seem a little outside the younger students realm of understanding, the teens delivered the lesson in a way the youngsters could understand. Prior to the visit, Sanchez, wanted to make sure his students understood the lesson and tasked them with writing a childrens story. By using the terminology and definitions, his students received an easier way to remember what they have learned. What he didnt expect to happen was to see that lesson evolve beyond his classroom, and spill over into the elementary classroom. As Sanchez students read their stories to the second graders, the children eagerly listened and then asked questions. They also got to see what a human cell looks like thanks to the models the teens also created for their class, unknowing that it would become a prop for this special session. Not only did the high school students learn, but they taught their younger counterparts, solidifying what they learned. They became role models for the younger students, and helped … Continue reading →

John Oliver used the first episode of the new season of Last Week Tonight to dissect what he sees as Donald Trump's aversion to facts. Pointing out that the president "has made it clear that reality is not important to him" is nothing new; media outlets do it all the time. But Oliver wanted to delve a little deeper into the anatomy of Trump's grand pronouncementsthat are not supported by evidenceabout such things as the size of his inauguration crowd, voter fraud, the unemployment rate, the national GDP, the murder rate. Policy is being made based on such false information, and, as Oliver points out, people are getting hurt because of it. Related: John Oliver says he is concerned about being able to stay in America Politifact found that 25.2 percent of the statements made by President Barack Obama were false by some measure. For Trump, the number is 69.9 percent. Where do Trump's falsehoods come from?

The former routinely runs headlines like "Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy," while the host of the latter, Alex … Continue reading →

What energy crisis? Who could forget the energy crises that affected electricity supply across south-eastern Australia last year. Firstly the Tasmanian crisis, following the Basslink outage in December 2015. With hydro storage dams at record lows following a drought on the back of aggressive storage withdrawals during the carbon tax years, Tasmania enforced drastic measures to ensure supply. Thankfully, flooding winter rains, together with the eventual restoration of Basslink in June helped resuscitate the apple isles energy supply. Tasmanias hydro storages now stand at around 40% of full capacity, more than double at the same time last year. Tasmanian hydropower storage capacity shows a strong seasonal trend, filling in winter rains, and drawing down during the summer and early autumn. Exchanges with Victoria via Basslink help provide security of supply, that was compromised by the outage in December 2015, when storages were already dangerously low on the back of the drought conditions in 2015 and aggressive draw down of storages during the Carbon-tax years to capitilise on the higher mainland spot prices. July saw the first of the sequence of crises in South Australia that followed from, and were in many eyes, attributable to the closure of its last coal-fired … Continue reading →
