Summary

Girlhood Needs Iron explores the vital role of iron in girls' health, highlighting how iron deficiency can impact physical and cognitive development. This book delves into the biology of iron, explaining its function in blood production and oxygen transport, while also examining the prevalence and causes of iron deficiency in different populations.

 
Did you know that iron deficiency anemia disproportionately affects adolescent girls, hindering their growth and cognitive function? The book argues that ensuring adequate iron intake isn't just about preventing anemia, but about investing in girls' future health and empowerment.

 
The book progresses logically, first introducing the basics of iron metabolism and the specific needs of girls. It then looks at the reasons behind iron deficiency, such as diet and socioeconomic factors. Subsequent chapters offer dietary strategies, focusing on iron-rich foods and enhancers of iron absorption, such as vitamin C, and critically evaluates iron supplementation, considering benefits, risks, and dosage.

 
The book's strength lies in its translation of science into actionable strategies for individuals, families, healthcare providers, and policymakers, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in adolescent health and girls nutrition.

  • The View from the Shoulder - A Portrait of Scottish Surfing - cover

    The story of surfing in Scotland is defined by people who dared to dream in spite of the cold, from Neva MacDonald-Haig and the coffin-lid surfers of Machrihanish, who first took to the waves off the west coast in the 1930s with a little help from a local undertaker, to Andy Bennetts and the pioneers of the 1960s, who discovered many of the nation's best breaks, to contemporary big wave surfer Ben Larg, a native of the tiny island of Tiree who now travels the world riding skyscraper-sized walls of water for a living.
Scotland is also home to a rich and distinctive surfing culture, with its own surfboard shapers, surf instructors, surf filmmakers, surf photographers and surf fashion brands, not to mention surf-inspired artists and musicians. Professional contests held at some of Scotland's best waves have drawn visits from surfing world champions including Tom Curren, Sunny Garcia and John John Florence, and in recent years Scotland's own surfers have begun to make their presence felt on the competitive stage, with the Scottish surf team featuring at the World Surfing Games and at Eurosurf after finally gaining official recognition in 2014.
The View From the Shoulder draws together 20 years of surf journalism from the pages of The Scotsman newspaper, together with fresh context, to create a portrait of a wave-riding community like no other.

    Coding with Python - Advanced...

    This book will help you learn advanced level coding in Python. The first thing is to install Python. I have used Python IDLE that also is called Python shell for coding. I have also used Python text editor to write and run full programs. You can open an editor. Open the shell first and then open a new file from the file menu on the top bar. The newly opened file will appear different because it is not a shell but a text editor. Once you write a program in the editor, you can run it by clicking f5. The editor will ask you to save the file. Save it and run accordingly to get the results.  
Python programming, just like all other types of coding, is meant to solve the problems that end-users face. To do that, you need to get additional information from the end-user. For example, if someone needs to check whether he is eligible to qualify for playing in the basketball team or whether he is qualified to vote in the election, you can create a program that can give him the right answer he needs.  
In this kind of program, we must know the age of the user before we provide an answer, which means that we must build an interface that demands an answer from the user with respect to his or age. The user will enter his or her age in the program with the help of the input() method. Once he or she enters the age, they can know the answer. You can design your program, such as to ask them their names so that you can store their information for future reference.

    Software was supposed to radically improve society. Outdated mechanical systems would be easily replaced; social media platforms like Facebook would bring people together; and generative AI would solve the world’s greatest ills. Yet in practice, few of the systems we looked to with such high hopes have lived up to their fundamental mandate. In fact, in too many cases they've made things worse. How did we get to this point? 
 
 
 
In Fatal Abstraction, Darryl Campbell explains that the problem is "managerial software": programs created and overseen not by engineers but by professional managers with only the most superficial knowledge of technology itself. 
 
 
 
A former tech worker himself, Campbell shows how managerial software fails, and when it does what sorts of disastrous consequences ensue, from the Boeing 737 MAX crashes to a deadly self-driving car to PowerPoint propaganda, and beyond. Yet just because the tech industry is currently breaking its core promise does not mean the industry cannot change. Campbell argues that the solution is tech workers with actual expertise establishing industry-wide principles of ethics and safety that corporations would be forced to follow. Fatal Abstraction is a stirring rebuke of the tech industry's current managerial excesses, and also a hopeful glimpse of what a world shaped by good software can offer.
