ARLINGTON, Va. (CNS) Graduations are back.
This spring, all four of the Arlington diocesan Catholic high schools plan to have in-person, outdoor graduations on their football fields. After pandemic safety measures necessitated virtual ceremonies last year, school communities are looking forward to the commencement festivities.
Joseph Vorbach, diocesan superintendent of schools, sees the in-person celebrations as a sign of better things to come. In-person graduations are a mark of the resilience of the graduates, he said. And of hope for a continued gradual return to the norms and traditions of school life going forward.

“Mitochondria exist in our cells, helping to turn the food we eat into energy that the cell can use. Mitochondria that aren’t functioning correctly are believed to be a key factor in a range of chronic diseases, including psychiatric (bipolar disorder), neurological (multiple sclerosis), and metabolic disorders (obesity-linked non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) that require billions of dollars in annual healthcare costs,” says Dr. Mohan Babu, associate professor of biochemistry. “Current therapies relieve some disease symptoms, but their underlying attributes remain unclear,” said Babu. “Pregnant women exposed to environmental pollutants, can also have altered mitochondrial function causing poor birth outcomes and/or chronic issues.
Sulfate concentrations in agricultural dugouts and ponds are currently one of the largest threats to water quality for cattle health on the prairies. In an examination of 100 dugouts across Saskatchewan over three years, Finlay found that one-quarter of the sites were of poor quality for cattle access, and nearly 10 per cent of dugouts were unsuitable. The sulfate concentrations in water are the result of many interacting regional and local factors. Across landscapes, sulfate levels in water are controlled by the surrounding geology that supplies the sulfur, and the patterns of water movement that potentially delivers it into a body of water.
