![]() In contrast, antivirus is an out-of-date term that software makers still use because viruses, Trojan horses, and worms were huge, attention-getting threats in the 1990s and early 2000s. ![]() Although antivirus firms constantly update their detection systems to outwit crypting services, they’ll never be able to keep up with malware makers intent on getting through.Ī quick terminology primer: The word malware just means “bad software” and encompasses anything that runs on your computer with unintended and usually harmful consequences. It's insufficient for a security app to just protect against a single set of known “viruses.” There is a potentially infinite number of malware variations that have been crypted-encoded to look like regular, trusted programs-and that deliver their system-breaking goods once opened. Why we don’t recommend a traditional antivirus suite For guidance, check out our full guide to setting up all these security layers. You should avoid downloading and opening email attachments unless you know what they are. You need to be mindful of what you download and to download software only from official sources, such as the Microsoft App Store and Apple Mac App Store, whenever possible. You also need secure passwords, two-factor logins, data encryption, systemwide backups, automatic software updates, and smart privacy tools added to your browser. ![]() No antivirus tool, paid or free, can catch every malicious bit of software that arrives on your computer. Over the years, we’ve also spoken with security experts, IT professionals, and the information security team of The New York Times (Wirecutter’s parent company) to filter out the noise of the typical antivirus table-tennis headlines: Antivirus is increasingly useless, no, actually it’s still pretty handy, no, antivirus is unnecessary, wait, no, it isn’t, and so on.Īlthough in any category we usually test all the products we’re considering, we can’t test the performance of antivirus suites any better than the experts at independent test labs already do, so we relied on their expertise.īut ultimately, relying on any one app to protect your system, data, and privacy is a bad bet, especially when almost every antivirus app has proven vulnerable on occasion. We also read up on the viruses, ransomware, spyware, and other malware of recent years to learn what threats try to get onto most people’s computers today. We spent dozens of hours reading results from independent labs like AV-Test and AV-Comparatives, feature articles from many publications such as Ars Technica and PCMag, and white papers and releases from institutions and groups like Usenix and Google’s Project Zero. Windows Defender, Microsoft’s built-in tool, is good enough for most people. The “best antivirus” for most people to buy, it turns out, is nothing. And after all that, we learned that most people should neither pay for a traditional antivirus suite, such as McAfee, Norton, or Kaspersky, nor use free programs like Avira, Avast, or AVG. We set out to do a standard Wirecutter guide to the best antivirus app, so we spent months researching software, reading reports from independent testing labs and institutions, and consulting experts on safe computing.

![]() If Clannad weren't so obviously manipulative, it might be a better series. yeah, don't watch this show, it'll make you rage. ![]() Those who think that female characters should actually resemble, you know, real people. ![]() Those who watch anime with their brain switched on will find this series trying. Why would a so-called delinquent suddenly take up this project of helping a random girl he's never met before? Why does he find her interesting? What is the point? ĮNJOYMENT: Obviously higher if you're a moe fan, but those who derive little enjoyment from watching cute girls doing cute things might find this series rather trying. We get no insight into his motivations at all. why he even bothered with/cared about Nagisa et al. It's also hard to understand Tomoya's motivations at the start of the series, i.e. Their childish and insecure natures (especially early in the series) make for unrealistic characters - and therefore compromise this show's unrelenting attempts at making us care about them. not to mention the fact that Fuuko, Kotomi and Nagisa, at least, sound at least half their age. Kyou's tsundere-ness, Fuuko's quirkiness, Nagisa's unending sweetness, etc. All of them (the female ones, anyway) exhibit some degree of fanboy-pandering. Few of the characters get much development. ĬHARACTER: This is probably the greatest problem I have with Clannad, and again, it's thanks to the source material. Unfortunately, all the female characters sound like babies. SOUND: Evocative without being overdramatic, for the most part. If anything, this aspect of Clannad makes me despair, because I can think of a lot of better anime series that deserve to have this sort of budget. Squishy moe character designs may not be everyone's cup of tea (Sanae looks barely older than Nagisa), but again, that comes with the territory. ĪRT: High budget, great production values and art direction. A story about a girl with Mysterious Anime Disease who has the intellectual capacity of a child? Sorry, it's not working for me. I mean: a story about a girl who is shy and has trouble making friends? Yeah, cool, you can watch Kimi no Todoke or something. Still, the outlandish (one word: Fuuko) and emotionally manipulative plot elements (most of the backstories that were explored) weakened what might otherwise have been a sweet, unpretentious slice-of-life drama/romance. ![]() with, given that it was based on the original VN plot. STORY: To be fair, the anime didn't have much to work Is this too harsh? Let's look at the individual components that MAL expects us to rate anime by. It expects us to have genuine emotional reactions to the 'blossoming relationships' between our bland protagonist and these excuses for characters. It expects us to care about these infantile, one-dimensional characters. This show expects us to believe that teenage girls act like five-year-olds. Unfortunately for this show, this means that it ends up being utterly contrived, unrealistic, and outright stupid. Here's the central problem with Clannad: it wants to tug your heartstrings, so it doesn't think about anything else. As he attempts to help each girl overcome her respective obstacle, he begins to realize life isn't as dull as he once thought. Claiming he has nothing better to do, he decides to help her achieve this goal along with the help of four other girls.Īs Tomoya spends more time with the girls, he learns more about them and their problems. Tomoya learns Nagisa has been held back a year due to a severe illness and that her dream is to revive the school's drama club. Eventually he concedes and befriends her. However, Tomoya finds he is noticing Nagisa more and more around school. Nagisa claims they are now friends, but Tomoya walks away passing the encounter off as nothing. He soon discovers the girl's name is Nagisa Furukawa and that she exclaims things she likes in order to motivate herself. Without warning she exclaims "Anpan!" (a popular Japanese food) which catches Tomoya's attention. One day while walking to school, Tomoya passes a young girl muttering quietly to herself. Along with his friend Youhei Sunohara, he skips school and plans to waste his high school days away. Tomoya Okazaki is a delinquent who finds life dull and believes he'll never amount to anything. It involves memorising at least 320 basic routes, 25,000 streets within those routes and about 20,000 landmarks and places of interest. This is a test of memory and is one of the most difficult tests in the world to pass. In order to become a London taxi driver, would-be cabbies have to pass ‘The Knowledge’. To do this, they called on London cab drivers and some serious brain imaging. Let me tell you a true story …Ī bunch of neuroscientists wanted to explore how brains can change. The things you do, the people you spend time with, every feeling, thought, and automatic experience will influence the wiring of your brain to make you who you are and to influence who you can become. A regular practice of mindfulness, for example, will increase the activity of genes that have the capacity to soothe a stress reaction in the heat of a moment, ultimately making you more able to deal with stress.Įverything you experience will alter the physical structure of your brain in some way. It also seems to reach into our genes (the tiny atoms in the DNA inside the nuclei of neurons) and change the way they function. It’s because throughout our childhood, we sing the alphabet song and have it sung to us so many times, that the relevant neurons are repeatedly activated enough to eventually form rock solid connections.Įxperience doesn’t just effect change by creating new connections and strengthening existing ones. It’s not because we were born baby geniuses with a cute alphabet jingle imprinted into our brains. This is why, for example, we can recite the alphabet without thinking. Repeating or prolonging an experience will keep the connections between neurons strong and ensure that they stay. Every time they are activated, they are elevated a little in the order of importance. The space is reserved for the neurons that you need the most – the ones that will best support you given the life you’re living.Įvery time we have an experience, the corresponding neurons are activated. You can’t grow the edges of your head so your brain occupies some precious real estate. This withering away is normal and healthy and is one way the brain grows into its most efficient self. The neurons that aren’t as needed will eventually wither away. The more connected the neurons, the stronger that area of the brain, the more responsive and effective it will be. The neurons that are connected to your immediate experience – what you are feeling, thinking, seeing, sensing, doing, experiencing – will fire and new connections will start to form within minutes. The ones that are will depend on the experience you’re having. About 100 billion neurons are waiting and ready to act, but not all of them will be recruited. Being human is complicated and our brain drives all of it – it’s no wonder we are still discovering its secrets.Įvery time you have an experience, the relevant neurons switch on and start firing. As this happens, neural connections get stronger and new synapses start growing.Įven as you read this, sparks are flying in your head. Different neurons are responsible for different parts of our experience, whether it’s eating, feeling, sleeping, sensing threat, firing up, falling in love, spelling, laughing, remembering, learning, nurturing – you get the idea. ![]() How does it work?īetween the walls of our skulls, billions of neurons (brain cells) work together to shape us into the humans we are. Our experiences are the fuel for this shaping and everything we see, feel, experience, sense and do is slowly but surely changing the architecture of our brains, sending gentle instruction on how they can build to best support us. It is constantly shaping itself to be the best one it can be for us. We now know that just isn’t true.Įach of us has a brain that is designed to be malleable and plastic and open to our influence. ![]() Up until the last decade or so, it was thought that the brain stayed fairly much the same and wasn’t open to influence or change. Just think about that for a minute: You have incredible capacity to change your brain through your experiences. The implications for all of us are profound.Īt the heart of the research is the finding that experience changes the brain. The research around it has caught fire and the findings are powerful. It’s called experience-dependent neuroplasticity. ![]() The message is real and comes fortified with some serious science.

Students in their first part of DVM training are advised by the VSTP Mentoring Committee on selecting a faculty mentor, research opportunities, and how to prepare for a variety of career paths. This award is a wonderful recognition of that success and helps us to continue mentoring leaders of the future.”Īt UC Davis, VSTP students complete their first two years of DVM education, then step into their PhD training, where they are guided by a faculty mentor during their dissertation research. “For the past two decades, our program has generated a number of veterinary scientists who are now leaders in academia, government and industry. “Having this additional source of funding opens new opportunities to expand recruitment,” Chen said. The funds will provide nearly $250,000 annually during the five-year award period. Xinbin Chen, director of the VSTP, said this NIH award allows UC Davis to expand its VSTP training, including for five new recruits this academic year – one of whom is Griffin. “We are proud to be one of the institutions to steward these grants and we're excited to see the future achievements of the student grant recipients.”ĭr. “This is an important moment as it shows that veterinary medicine is receiving recognition as a leader in health overall, not just animal health," said Dean Michael Lairmore. UC Davis was one of only three veterinary schools selected. This was the first time that the NIH has granted the award to colleges or schools of veterinary medicine as the lead institution to support students in a dual degree DVM-PhD program. The VSTP got a huge boost this past fall for its 20th anniversary when it received the prestigious National Institutes of Health Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) award.

She is currently focused on creating a novel in vitro system to study canine osteosarcoma, working closely with Dr. Griffin was admitted into the program where she is now in her second year of immunology doctoral studies, working under the mentorship of Dr. This program enables DVM students to pursue a PhD concurrently, providing them with a dual degree and training them as the next generation of veterinary researchers. As she prepared for veterinary school, she began applying for the school’s highly competitive Veterinary Scientist in Training Program (VSTP). Griffin was in the right place to establish cross disciplinary connections. That experience showed me I wanted to pursue immunology, but also have a reputation in the engineering field to build valuable collaborations.” “I really started to understand then how research could complement veterinary medicine and how veterinarians could lend a unique perspective to human medicine. “I learned to work with stem cells and how to decellularize animal tissue to use as a biomaterial for regenerative medicine in humans,” said Griffin.

![]() At the time, a goldfish named "Goldie", kept as a pet in a tank in Folkestone, England, was measured as 15 inches (38 cm) and over 2 pounds (0.91 kg), and named as the second largest in the world behind the Netherlands fish. Īs of April 2008, the largest goldfish in the world was believed by the BBC to measure 19 inches (48 cm), in the Netherlands. In outdoor ponds, and in the wild, goldfish can grow to about 14 inches (36 cm). Goldfish may grow larger if moved to bigger fish tanks, but they usually do not grow longer than 6 inches (15 cm). ![]() ![]() When kept in small indoor aquariums, goldfish tend to stay about 1 inch (2.5 cm) to 2 inches (5.1 cm) long. Koi and common carp may also interbreed with goldfish to produce sterile hybrids. Goldfish can hybridize with some other Carassius species of carp. auratus have fewer than 31 scales along the lateral line, while crucian carp have 33 scales or more. auratus, this tail spot is never present. Juvenile crucian carp have a black spot on the base of the tail, which disappears with age. gibelio often has a grayish/greenish color, while crucian carp are always golden bronze. auratus have a more pointed snout, while the snout of C. auratus are differentiated from other Carassius species by several characteristics. auratus that are native to Southern China. However, modern genetic sequencing has suggested otherwise, and that modern goldfish are domesticated varieties of C. Previously, the goldfish was believed to be either a subspecies of the crucian carp ( Carassius carassius), or of the Prussian carp ( Carassius gibelio). There has been considerable debate about the taxonomy of the goldfish. Biology TaxonomyĬrucian Carp (Carassius Carassius), around 6 months old, 7 cm, from Haarlem, Netherlands. Goldfish were first introduced to North America around 1850 and quickly became popular in the United States. This tradition quickly died, as goldfish became more available, losing their status. It became a tradition for married men to give their wives a goldfish on their first anniversary, as a symbol for the prosperous years to come. ĭuring the 1620s, goldfish were highly regarded in southern Europe because of their metallic scales, and symbolized good luck and fortune. In 1611, goldfish were introduced to Portugal and from there to other parts of Europe. In 1603, goldfish were introduced to Japan. The first occurrence of -tailed goldfish was recorded in the Ming dynasty. ĭuring the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), goldfish also began to be raised indoors, which permitted selection for mutations that would not be able to survive in ponds. The occurrence of other colors (apart from red and gold) was first recorded in 1276. By this time, people outside the imperial family were forbidden to keep goldfish of the gold (yellow) variety, yellow being the imperial color. In 1162, the empress of the Song dynasty ordered the construction of a pond to collect the red and gold variety. īy the Song dynasty (AD 960–1279), the selective domestic breeding of goldfish was firmly established. On special occasions at which guests were expected, they would be moved to a much smaller container for display. People began to selectively breed the gold variety instead of the silver variety, keeping them in ponds or other bodies of water. A natural genetic mutation produced gold (actually yellowish orange) rather than silver coloration. ĭuring the Tang dynasty (AD 618–907), it was popular to raise carp in ornamental ponds and water gardens. Some of these normally gray or silver species have a tendency to produce red, orange or yellow color mutations this was first recorded in Imperial China, during the Jin dynasty (266–420). Various species of carp (collectively known as Asian carp) have been bred and reared as food fish for thousands of years in East Asia.
